yielding obedience to the crosse of Christ The Dragon that is the spirit of cursed Cain in his persecuting believers whose carnal weapons are swords and guns and all kinds of murdering weapons whatsoever flowing from ignorance cursed covetousnesse and vain-glorious envy selling their eternal birthright for a messe of pottage because the Lord Jesus hath no delight in their persons Again it is written and the Dragon was cast out that old Serpent called the Devil and Satan he was cast out into the earth and his Angels were cast out with him that Cain before-said was that Serpent Dragon Angel and his Angels are that fleshly seed of his or off-spring or generation of serpent wise prudent men and women that mind earthly things These are those Serpent reprobate Angels that go upon the bellies of their spirits and lick up the dust of the earth all the dayes of their lives that is their spirits lick up the gold and silver and put it into a bag for their generations and this is the food of their souls and such like all their dayes This is that spirit of unclean reason and wicked imagination that was in Cain and now is in all his Angels who are the Lords of this world whose spirits wholly thirst after things that perish and they are never in their proper center but when the thoughts of their spirits are feeding upon riches or honours or friends or fleshly delights or long life and such like This was the food of that Serpent Cain that slew his brother Abel because he was more righteous then he and this is the food and no other of all those Serpent angelical men and women both great and small that are the very sons and daughters of cursed Cain hating all spiritual righteousnesse in all spiritual Abels as he did Therefore as beforesaid cursed together with that Serpent Reprobate Devil their father Cain from the presence of the Lord just men and Angels to all Eternity VI. AGain for your Information in whose persons the Lord by his holy Spirit delights to dwell I declare by Revelation from the holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus a little of that wonderful unspeakable mystery of God the Father cloathing himself or manifesting himself in flesh it is written she was found with child by the Holy Ghost Again it is written for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost and the Word became flesh and behold a Virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his name Emanuel which being interpreted is God with us Again it is written For unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the government shall be on his shoulders and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor the mighty God the everlasting Father the Prince of Peace of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end From these Scriptures it is very clear in the bare Letter unto you that see God by the eye of Faith that that holy Child Jesus that was born of the Virgin-Wife Mary he is the only God and alone eternal Father unto you that have faith in a personal God or a God of one distinct person and no more unto you alone for whom is prepared a Crown of immortal glory I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus that the Holy Ghost beforesaid was the Glorious Person of that one only Wise God and Everlasting Father and Creator of all things that entred into the Virgins womb and dyed or changed his immortality or spirituality in the body or womb of the Virgin and immediately quickned or conceived himself of the very nature or seed of the Virgin a pure natural child or son in whom as it is written the fulnesse of the God-head lived bodily so that as the Serpet-angel beforesaid entred into the womb of the Virgin-VVife Eve and defiled her pure nature or seed throughout and dyed in her womb from his spirituality and quickned in mortality and brought forth himself the first born child or son of the Devil and so he became the father of an innumerable company of Serpent reprobate Devils of men and women so in opposition of that reprobate Angel and Prince of Devils beforesaid the glorious person of the eternal God entred into the womb of the Virgin-Wife Mary and dyed in her womb from his immortality and purified her nature or seed throughout that was unclean before and quickned himself in pure mortality and brought forth himself the first born son of God and the only eternal Father of an innumerable company of elect sons and daughters purchased by his own precious blood Thus immortality dyed and quickned in mortality and this pure mortality dyed and quickned in immortality and glory again in that very same flesh or person that dyed and now reigneth in glory in the highest Heavens and the lowest hearts God alone blessed to all eternity Thus Eternity became Time and Time is become eternity again for there is nothing but an eternal immortal God that is the Creator of all life that can by his own power live and dye and live again But on the contrary no creature hath any power at all neither to live nor to dye but by the decree of the Creator alone the Lord Jesus Christ Thus you that see by that single eye of Faith may understand in some measure the difference between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent for ever since the Angel-Serpent by his wise cursed Counsel took possession of the Garden of God the bodies of our first parents I declare from the Holy Spirit that there is no Devil at all without the body of man or woman but what dwells within the bodies of men and women so that that Devil so frequently spoken of in the letter of the Scripture that tempts men and women to all unrighteousnesse it is mans spirit of unclean reason and cursed imagination that unsatiably lusteth after things that perish until the Holy Spirit of faith enters into the man and purifies his unclean spirit and reveals unto his dark understanding spiritual and glorious durable things and that makes a man trample this perishing world and all its vain-glory under the feet of his spirit as dung as it is in comparison of the glory that is to come in that world above the stars that remains to all eternity VII AGain it is written a woman shall compasse a man that woman was the Virgin Mary and that man was God the Father Again it is written a woman cloathed with the Sun and the Moon under her feet and upon her head a crown of twelve Stars this woman was the Virgin Mary beforesaid and the Sun that she was cloathed withal was the only begotten Son of God the eternal Father in the Virgins womb and the Moon under her feet that was the worship of th● Law of Moses for she being cloathed with the Sun she was filled with

Eternity in the presence of his eternal spiritual person I declare from the Lord Jesus that God the Creator hath made that creation in the heavens above as visible to be seen as this creation is seen in this earth beneath Again I declare from the holy Spirit that the glorious person of the onely wise God and eternal Father the Lord Jesus is as visibly seen of the creatures where his person is resident as a man is visibly seen of the creatures in this earth beneath where his person resides as for this creation in the heavens above it is to set forth the glory of his immortal person that all the creatures in his presence visibly beholding the glorious person of their Creator both holy Angels and other creatures according to their wisdom or understanding might give him the glory of their eternal happinesse of this their creation and on the contrary if the Creator were not visibly seen by the eyes of his creatures then no creatures could possibly know him to return any praise or glory unto him at all for the happiness of their condition Therefore it is a cursed lying imagination for any man to think that the glorious person of God is not as visibly seen of his creatures in the heavens above as the person of man who is the image of God is visibly seen of the creatures in this earth beneath Again you must not think after a fleshly manner that the creatures above the starrs are male and female for natural generation as they are in this creation beneath the starrs for a woman had never been made but for generation that the immortal God might have a womans womb in this world to cloath himself with flesh and that the Reprobate Angel which is the Devil might have the womb of a woman to cloath himself with flesh also to bring forth Gods glorious design between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent wherefore I declare from the holy Spirit that the holy Angels and all other Creatures that are in the presence of God in the Creation beyond the stars are all spiritual male creatures never encreasing in their numbers not being fleshly desiring generation but their spirits or natures instead of fleshly pleasures in generation are full of spiritual and heavenly joyes of a more transcendent glorious content within themselves and visible glorious contents in their beholding of the glorious face of God and the faces of one another and the glory of that place they enjoy the which exceeding glory shineth forth through that heavenly Kingdom from the bright burning glorious person of God the Creator the Lord Jesus Christ who alone hath all the glory of his Creation in the Heavens above wherein dwelleth nothing but righteousnesse in Glory Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that no man can understand or know any thing of these things that are invisible unto our natural eyes but by the Spirit of Revelation therefore it is written that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen again it is written through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear so that in the Letter of the Scripture it is clear to you that see by the eye of Faith that God hath made or framed two Worlds or two Creations which is all one for you know to frame a thing or to make a thing is all one Again unto you it is clear there are spiritual visible things in that world above or beyond the stars as well as here are natural visible things in this world beneath the stars because you may understand that this world and the things that are visible therein were made or created out of that world which is invisible to us who are in mortality but visible to those who are above in glory so that now you that are appointed to enter with spiritual bodies into that glorious Creation or world beyond the stars may understand a little clearer of your inheritance in that Kingdome made without hands or City eternal in the Heavens where you shall visibly see with your eyes the face of God Men Angels and all Creatures in that creation above the stars as you see the face of man and all other creatures in this creation beneath the stars with glorious new Songs of spiritual and heavenly praises unto a glorious God to all eternity This proves the truth of these Scriptures where it is written My kingdom is not of this world and of this saying Lord remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom and of that saying In my Fathers House or Kingdom are many mansions and of that saying For thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory for ever and of that saying The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ this world was the Heavens above and of that saying neverthelesse we look for a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth righteousnesse and of that saying He hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and we shall reign with him upon the Earth This is that glorious new Heaven and new Earth in the presence of God above or beyond the stars but blind carnal hypocrites imagine that Gods reigning with his Elect ones will be upon this bloody Earth because they have no spiritual Eyes to see or know that new Heaven or new Earth above or beyond the stars where nothing but pure righteousness reigneth in glory for everlasting or world without end Amen 5. AGain concerning that Serpent before-said so called of the Lord for his subtilty I declare by Revelation from the holy Spirit that God created his spiritual person more glorious then the persons of all the holy Angels that are in the presence of God in Heaven because this mighty Angel by the wisdom and secret Counsel of God was to be as a God to bring forth his seed or generaration of wise and prudent subtile Serpent men and women to oppose the Creator and his innocent seed or generation of simple plain-hearted men and women that are of the spirit of faith and pure love with all other heavenly vertues for the nature or Spirit of God is faith and love and all other divine vertues infinitely living in his glorious Person the which faith is all power of righteous actings naturally flowing from his pure spirit as from a pure overflowing fountain of living waters but on the contrary the nature or spirit of this God-like Angel and all the rest of the holy Angels in their Creation were pure reason from whence naturally flows no good at all but what comes into them continually by Revelation from that pure spirit of Faith in the person of God their Creator and this is that spiritual Manna that keeps the holy Angels natures or spirits pure in the presence of God for it is the nature of that pure reason

in the holy Angels continually to desire the knowledge of that spirit of wisdom in the Creator that made them and the overflowings of that new wisdom in the spirit of the Creator by the decree of God it is that spiritual food that keeps the holy Angels pure in their glory or else not one of them could stand upright in the presence of God not one moment but they would all become serpent-Devils and fall down into this earth as that great Angel did presently after the Lord withheld the revelation of his glorious wisdom from him then this Angel for want of his spiritual food of revelation that kept his spirit in obedience to his Creator presently his spirit began proudly to imagine and think high and lofty thoughts concerning his own person and great wisdom of spirit within him wherefore secretly he was lifted up in his spirit to disdain the persons and wisdom of all the holy Angels in comparison of the glory both of his person and wisdom pride being begun in him Lucipher-like he soared higher in his pride for he thought both his person and wisdom to be as glorious if not more glorious then the person and wisdom of the Creator wherefore he being very proud of his own wisdom he imagined that if he had been the Creator he would by a word speaking have created Angels and all other creatures without Earth or Water as God made all things of for his proud spirit thought he could by a word speaking have created all creatures of nothing at all therefore he counted his wisdom rather greater and of a more higher nature to have formed all things for a greater glory to himself if he had been the Creator then the Creators wisdom in the things or Creatures formed by him so imagining his wisdom above the Creators he thought himself more fit to reign over the holy Angels and all other creatures then the Creator he being wise in his own conceit became an absolute Fool for out of nothing comes nothing and out of nothing comes no form or nothing can be formed for to create or make a living form or creature out of senslesse matter or substance of Earth or Water by a word speaking of what nature or form the Creator pleaseth whether contrary to his own nature and form of his own nature and form this is the power and wisdom of my Creator the Lord Jesus for he by his infinite glorious wisdom by a word speaking did create all living creatures in the two Creations or Worlds of unsensible Earth and Water that was without his person from all eternity in his presence with him because his eternal glorious person you know must have a place of residence therefore reason it self cannot deny the eternity of Earth and Waters and the person of the Creator let it imagine never so much nor never so long again as beforesaid when the time of this proud and lofty Angels glory was by the decree of the Creator expired in the Heavens above to the exceeding joy of all the holy Angels unto whom the Lord revealed his exceeding pride the Lord then cast down this Angelical wise Serpent into the Earth therefore it is written wo be to the Inhabiters of the Earth for the Devil is come down amongst you this Angel that was cast into the Earth is that Devil beforesaid and his nature or spirit of pride and envy and all other wickednesse being changed his names or titles are changed according to the uncleannesse of his nature and now instead of the name of an Angel of light he is called an Angel of darknesse as in Jude yea he is called a Serpent a Dragon a Devil Satan or an unclean spirit or that wicked one suitable to his cursed nature but the Lord changed not the form or person of this Reprobate lost Angel at all but his names or titles only as beforesaid according to his nature Again I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that that Serpent spoken of in the Scripture that tempted the Virgin Wife Eve he was a spiritual body in the form of his person like unto a man yea I say from the Lord that this Angel-Serpent was more amiable or glorious in the form of his person to the outward appearance of Eves eyes then the Person of the man Adam was wherefore by the prerogative power and secret wisdom and Counsel of God to bring forth his glorious design it was the outward comlinesse of the Serpents person and his seeming wise and glorious God-like counsel by the decree of God became a snare to deceive and overcome the innocent Virgin VVife Eve as many a poor innocent Virgin in these dayes are deceived and overcome by the outwa●d comlinesse of mens persons through their Serpent-counsels and cursed temptations wherefore it is written the woman was deceived and not the man Again I declare by Revelation from the holy Spirit that when this Angel-Serpent by hi● seeming wise God-like Counsel had overcome innocent Eve as before-said the very person of this spiritual Serpent Reprobate Angel entred into the body or womb of innocent l ve and there he dyed or was changed from his spirituality and immediately he quickned in her pure undefiled seed or nature all serpentine lust of all natural uncleannesse wherefore she being now naked from her former pure created Virginity presently she i● full of natural lust after her innocent Husband that had no desire to a woman at all therefore it is written and she gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat then were they both naked from that pure spiritual life of their virgin creation of God-l●ke content within their own spirits and in the room thereof they are both full of all natural lusts whatsoever they being both defiled with the spirit of the Serpent-Angel of unclean reason and wicked imagination and this was that cursed effect of their becoming as Gods knowing both good an evil until they were both born again by the spirit of Faith to the full assurance of a more glorious Inheritance then that which was lost through the eternal love of God to his lost Image Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that that Cain that was the first born of Eve he was the very seed or spirit of that reprobate Serpent angel in the body of Eve and the first born child or son of the Devil and so he became and none but he alone that Belzebub the Prince of Devils and the only father of all those Angels of darknesse spoken of in the Epistle of Jude that are kept or reserved in chains of darknesse of unbelief unto the Judgment of the Great Day Therefore where it is written of the warfare between Michael and his Angels and the Dragon and his Angels that Michael is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus in his Angelical believers whose spiritual weapons are faith and love and patience and such like unto the death because they see a crown of Life in

the glory of the Father again Elias then as a glorified creature did return all praise and glory unto the Lord Jesus his Creator so that now it is the Lord Jesus alone by his holy Spirit that revealeth all spiritual and heavenly wisdom to elect men and Angels Elias having now with exceeding joy surrendred up his spiritual and glorious stewardship of representing the person of God the Father unto the right owner and sole Heir of Heaven and Earth and all therein is the Lord Jesus Christ the eternal Father God alone blessed to all eternity I know I have spoken enough to the spiritual Christian of this Truth IX AGain I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that about this fourteen hundred years there hath not been one true Prophet nor Minister sent with a Commission from the Lord Jesus to declare or write or preach the everlasting Gospel of truth and peace unto his Elect Wherefore I declare by vertue of my Commission received by voyce of words from the Lord Jesus that all the Ministry in this world whether Prophetical or Ministerial with all the worship taught by them whether invisible or visible to the people it is all a lye and an abomination unto the Lord both the Ministry and their worship are as acceptable unto my God the man Jesus that sent me as the cutting off of a dogs neck Now unto you that discern truth from the Lord I shall give you light into this truth first I declare that all the true Commissionated Prophets of the Lord in the time of the Law from Moses unto John the Baptist with all the true commissionated Apostles and Ministers of the Lord Iesus in the Gospel they had every one of them in their Commission a power given them to set life and death before men or to declare blessing or cursing unto men which is all one according to their administrations received from the Lord. Again I declare from the Holy Spirit that the Lord Iesus did purpose within himself to send his Messengers three times to the world but three times to this bloody unbelieving world and no more for a witnesse or testimony unto them and to make known unto his Elect that he alone is the only God and everlasting Father wherefore you shall find it written there are three bear record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Spirit and these three are one again it is written there are three bear witnesse in Earth the Water the Blood and the Spirit and these three agree in one Again I declare from the Holy Spirit that those three in earth are the Lords three dispensations given to his Prophets or Messengers beforesaid the Water was the Commissions of Moses and the Prophet● under the Law the Blood was the Commission of the Apostles and those Ministers of the Gospel chosen by appointment from the Lord the Spirit which is the third and last Witnesse by Commission from the Lord are those two Witnesses spoken of in the Revelation prophesied of by John the beloved Disciple of Iesus that were to come in the last age whose Message or Ministery or Prophesie is all invisible and spiritual cutting off or condemning all fleshly formal worshipping of an invisible spiritual personal God taken up by vain-glorious men from the Letter of the Scripture which were the Prophets and Apostles Commissions because they want a Commission from the Lord. Again I declare from the Holy Spirit the Lord spake by voyce of word unto his three Commissioners that he hath sent unto the VVorld yea I know God the Father spake unto Moses as a man speaks unto his friend as it is written and I know that God spake unto the Apostles in the person of the Son as it is written because I know the Lord Iesus spake unto me in the person of the Holy Ghost or Spirit as beforesaid only the two former Witnesses saw the person of God in part visibly but I saw the glory of his person invisibly or within me because I am the Messenger of the Holy invisible Spirit Again Concerning those three bearing Record in Heaven beforesaid the meaning of those words are this God from Heaven in a three-fold name or title bear witnesse by Signes and VVonders unto his three Commissioners according to their several administrations given unto them unto Moses and the Prophets this personal God bare witnesse in the name or title of the Father unto the holy Apostles God bare witnesse in the name or title of the Son and unto us his third last Messengers God beareth witnesse in the name or title of the Holy-Spirit because our Commission is all spiritual we have to do only with the invisible spirits of men concerning the eternal estates of men and womens persons in the great and notable eternal Day of the Lords account therefore instead of natural signes upon the bodies or persons of men and women as in the two former Commssions of the Prophets and the Apostles the Lord Iesus beareth witnesse that he hath sent us by spiritual Signs or Wonders upon the spirits of those that are sealed up through our mouthes unto eternal life and unto eternal death as many do bear witnesse whose eyes are opened at this day in England in this great City of London Again This is a true testimony unto you that have faith in the Lord Iesus that he hath sent us by his Holy Spirit because there is none upon this earth that beareth witnesse unto that man Jesus that was crucified at Jerusalem to be the only God and everlasting Father but we only as Moses the Prophets and the Apostles bare witnesse in their times unto this Jesus to be the only God and alone eternal Father but on the contrary there is hardly a Minister in the world that confesseth an invisible God but they preach unto the people either a God of two Persons or a God of three Persons that is a Monster instead of one true personal God or else they teach the People to worship an infinite Spirit that is every where without a Body or Person but he is fain to borrow his creatures bodies to live in that is a God of words only without any form or substance or an infinite nothing that never can be comprehended nor apprehended in the least by any formed creature a cursed lying imaginary God from mans own unclean blind reason which occasioneth all kind of blood and cruelty to be committed in this wicked world between man and man for if men understood indeed that there is but one only wise God and that this God is a distinct body or person then would men understand that all those that are led by the voyce of the Holy Spirit of God the man Jesus to work righteousnesse in their bodies they lived in they only shall appear with bodies of all righteousnesse like unto their God the man Jesus visibly to behold face to face the glorious body of the God of all Righteousnesse for
