seed Christ that hath bruised the head of the Serpent the Divel that causeth war he may say a stronger then he is come that keeps the house and that the strong man has bowed himself and that the keepers of the house has trembled and the earth shaken also and that which is to be shaken shaken and that which cannot be shaken is appeared and Christ is in him and his body is dead because of sin and he is the Temple of God and Christ is in him the everlasting Priest and Christ reigns and the first covenant is ended and the law of works which went upon the man which was under types figures and shadowes to which his soul must be subject but Christ is come the end of the Law to every one that believes the Bishop of the soul Christ the power of God and the everlasting covenant is within again and he is come into a greater state then Adam was in the beginning he is come into the second Adam into that which cannot depart from God and all that be here need not say know the Lord from the greatest to the least but are calling every one his neighbour under the vine and fig-tree according to Zacharias prophesie and the branch is brought forth and stone upon stone and ingravening is taken away Concerning Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles And as for Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles the Pope was the first Author of them for as Christ said false Prophets should come inwardly ravening Wolves having the Sheeps cloathing that is the outside in Mat. 7.24 chapter which John saw was come in his first Epistle in chapter the 2. and fourth which went forth from them into the World and in the revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and Christ who said they should come bid they should not go after them and John who said they were come told the Saints that they needed no man to teach them but as the same anointing did teach them which was in them and as that did teach them they should continue in the Son of God and in the Father So those that Christ said should come to his Disciples the false Prophets and Antichrists John saw was come one of his disciples which went forth from them into the World and in the Revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and when they had got a head in the World they turned against the Saints and killed the Saints that kept the Testimony of Jesus Mat. 7.24 1 Joh. 2.4 Rev. 13. And so in the eleventh of the Revelations the witnesses were killed and in the twelfth the dragon was wrath with the woman and she fled into the Wildernesse to be kept a time and times and half a time to be fed and the man-child was caught up to God and the dragon made war with the remnant of her seed so here is the true woman the true Church fled into the Wildernesse and the Dragon gave his power to the Beast in the thirteenth of the Revelations the Least made war with the Saints that kept the Testimony of Jesus the spirit of Prophecy the true Ministers and killed them and overcame them and when he had overcome the Saints power was given to the Beast over all kindreds tongues and peoples and nations So he had power over the naturals Hebrew Greek and Latin called the Original Orthodox men and killed the true Ministers which kept the testimony of Jesus the spirit of prophecy then he having power over all kindreds tongues and Nations then deceit spread it self over all nations the true Church being in the Wildernesse and the man-child caught up to God and then came up the Beast and his names markes and hornes and images who was in the Dragons the Devils power and compelling to worship and set up his lying signes and wonders and has power over the tongues to order them here he has his Schooles and colledges to order them as he will the naturals that killed them that was in the spirit And then the Whore got upon the beast the false Church the false woman the Whore in the Dragons power after the True Church was in the Wilderness and all Nations drunk her cup of Fornication before they could be married and the Kings of the earth drunk her cup of Fornication Then did the Kings of the earth make Nations to bend and the sheeps cloathing to be put upon them for she hath reigned over the earth This fenced city this false Church this Whore where all the blood hath been shed about Religion Church Ministry and Scriptures in the whole Christendom among them called Christians since the dayes of the Apostles and Christ who wrestled not with flesh and blood struck not at creatures did not come to destroy mens lives but to save them and the Apostles that followed him wrestled with Principalities and powers and spiritual wickednesses and brought the creature into the liberty of the sons of God And Christ destroyed the Devil and his works and death which had its authority in men and yet saved mens lives he did not cause any to be put in Prison neither did he put any in Prison though they Blasphemed against him nor the Apostles neither but destroyed the Devil and his works and death where he had his Authority which caused men to Blaspheme and saved the man and the Apostles wrestled with spiritual wickednesses and rulers of darkness which caused men to Blaspheme and brought the creatures into the liberty of the sons of God and such came to know the Redemption of the body But this false church this great city this woman this whore which hath made all Nations drunk with her Fornication the Kings of the earth wrestleth with flesh and blood destroyes mens lives if any one come within her city which is fenced though they have the sheeps cloathings yet destroying mens lives stocking whipping and imprisoning killing racking cutting off ears wrestling with flesh and blood d●●●●ing the blood of the Saints killing the creatures in●●●●● 〈◊〉 wrestling with principalities and powers and spi●●● 〈◊〉 wickednesses and rulers of darkness in high places and so followeth not Christ and the Apostles who are the inwardly raveners that went out from them which is the Whore for a whore goes from something the children of Israel when they went from their God they whored so when these went from the Apostles they whored and all Nations hath drunk the Whores cup. And so the Inhabitants of the earth which hath drunk the Whores cup have the sheep cloathing but not the sheeps Nature which never worried swine nor dogs nor goats nor lyons nor bears so instead of saving mens lives destroyed them and instead of bringing creatures into the liberty of the sons of God hath killed the creatures and this is like neither Christ nor the Apostles but quite contrary out of their power in the Dragons power devourers murtherers And so this Whore sits upon the

the Pope got up since the dayes of the Apostles but speaks of things in their place And whether or no these actions and doings doth not shew the false Prophets going with Sheeps cloathing upon their backs and how men are covered with fig-leaves but now in the light openly seen And the Levites and Priests and Widowes and strangers and fatherlesse that was to be fed with the tenths had places to lay their heads in but Christ which redeems out of the ninths has none And the Apostle gave forth an order to Timothy and Titus what Ministers ought to be must be proved and tryed they must be blamelesse and not self-willed not soon angry not given to wine no strikers not given to filthy lucre so then they must first be proved and then they must Minister for after his discease he saw that grievous Wolves would enter in which would be covetous and teachers for filthy lucres sake and the Apostles saw the perilous time coming on that men should be lovers of themselves and covetous this he told Timothy c. therefore gave an order to prove them and to try them as you may read the first Epistle to Timothy 3 chapter but what strikers are got abroad blameable men covetous greedy of filthy lucre unpatient brawlers brawling in their pulpets And so if Monasteries Abbies Nunneries Mass evening songs go down why not Tythes Did not he that set up one set up the other by the unrighteous law And why should the Priests they which be of the Jesuites tribe wear black coats but you may say people people begins to see us and we will go change our coats take the means deny the work and when the one falls why doth not all with it When the Jesuites fall why doth not Schooles and Colledges Tythes and Mortuaries and Glebe-lands Easter reckonings Midsummer dues the old Mass-houses and the Cross Have not these the Merchants of Babylon made Merchandize of people souls of their bodies Beasts Sheep and all they had And is not this the whore seeing Christ came the substance of all true types figures and shadowes who made all things new ended the tenths and Priests both and all fell down with it when the Law fell and command fell And hath not all these been the blind guides which hath been in the Tythes and the blind leaders which hath run at peoples flesh and blood and creatures Who should have run at the powers of darknesse and wrestled with that and brought the creatures into the liberty of the Sons of God And hath not all these that destroyes men in prison and haleth them before courts whom they do not work for have been charmers for their own bellies and for filthy lucre and covetousnesse and tenths of people and keep people in the ninths worries the Lambs like bryars and thorns and with their unclean feet usurp the place of the Apostles who were preachers of the Gospel that hath been in the chair of Judas of covetousnesse betraying the just which of them all will prepare themselves to preach without bag or lucre in hunger and thirst and fasting and tents as the Apostles did and be like the lillies not take thought what to eat or what to drink or to put on or what to speak as Christ commanded So the reformed Church the Church indeed is out of all these gleabe-lands Easter reckonings Midsummer dues you that go about to reform Churches it is but to change colour for the true Church is a Church of it self which Christ saith he is the head of without spot or wrinkle and blemish purchased with blood and such things for they are got up since the true Church went into the wildernesse and are not agreeable to Law nor Gospel and do you not believe that all the Bishops Lands first set up by the Pope that it was all given for the worship and service of God The Papists did believe it and the Bishops and Priests in England did believe it and the same set up Tithes and do you not believe it that the Priests and Professors doth believe that the powers of the earth doth give them that for the worship and service of God which was first set up by the Papists and not yet plucked down but upholden For was not that first given to the Church this false church this false woman the whore since the True Church went into the Wilderness and denyed by the Church in the dayes of the Apostles Heb. 7. hath not all these that went forth from the Apostles that inwardly ravened offered the strange fire and been in the worship of the Dragon out from the Worship of God in the Spirit not like to worship him in the Spirit when inwardly ravened so swallowed up in the earth Core like for their offering is but as the cutting off a dogs neck or as if they slew a man being inwardly ravened from the Spirit of God which should offer up the Spiritual Sacrifice in which Spirit God should be worshipped All the whole body of these in Christendom both maker and Minister and setter of them up which hath been of men and by men of them owned and heard hath not these made up a great City fenced with the weapons of them that are inwardly ravened who hangs out Cains Flag who are from the Spirit of God and turneth against them that hath the Spirit of God and killeth them and which makes the Word of God of none effect which has set up the Tongues for the Original which was in the beginning before the many Languages was And how are all Nations drunk with the Whores cup and sick and vomit and spewing out that which is naught first transgression inwardly ravened then sick and then vomit and spew and then go among the false physicians for none comes to the True Physician but they that come to that they were ravened from and there they find the True Physician Did not Doctor Burgess take Tithes and gleabe Lands and Easter reckonings and Midsummer dues Is he against the Bishops lands because the Parliament hath taken them away Would he not cry them up to be for the service and worship of God if the Magistrate would set them up again and give them thanks And was not Tithes gleabe Lands Easter reckonings Midsummer dues old Mass houses Schools and Colledges and their Mortuaries and their Tenths set up by the Law of men since the dayes of the Apostles The Magistrates Tenths out of the Tenths now was not this set up by the Law of men And as men come into the fear of God and deny themselves and know the Churches state as it was among the Apostles by the power of God throw down all these things again set up by the Law of men since the false church hath been up Beast Dragon and false prophets and the True Church in the Wilderness do you think she shall not come out of the Wilderness again And the Man-child Rule who was dead and
