A40227	The papists strength, principles, and doctrines (which they are sworn to preach, from the Councel of Trent, by the Popes authority, and after confirmed by the last General Assembly at Rouen, 1571, all which they have sworn to perform) answered and confuted furthermore their principles and doctrines answered and confuted, as they were laid down in two or three severall papers, by R.W. papist, lately sent from Holland : also a challenge to the pope and all his adherents to choose out of all his dominions some cardinals, fryers, or Jesuits to try their bread and wine, after consecration (by watching on their side and on our side) to prove that if afterward they have consecrated it, whether the bread and wine doth not loose its taste and savour, and so not the body and blood of Christ : also a paper to all them that fast and afflict themselves who are in the will-worship and voluntary humility : also some quæries to all the papists upon earth to be answered in writing and sent to them, which all sects upon the earth call Quakers / by George Fox.

sutable proofs for the Pope and sutable examples First the Priest-hood is ended they were never in that latitude neither are you to be measured with them neither do any true Christians As for Esau and wicked Magistrates the fruits of this amongst you has appeared and the wicked must bow before the just and Esau the elder must be a seruant to the younger and salvation is come out of Sion who judges the mount of Esau and is gathering the elect Jacob who rides over the high places of the earth which have set up your Images but you have shewed the fruits of Esau who are slaying and killing the just But who be in the power of Christ who hath all power in heaven and earth given unto him be out of Esau's and be o' th top on his mount and answers the Elect. Pr. He saith that Purgatory is a temporall punishment to faithfull persons after death who have not done due pennance for their sins in their life time so must do pennance after death Answ. The faithful persons that be in the true faith of Gods Elect which is the mistery held in a pure conscience which gives victory over the world purifies the heart by which men are justified and please God This gives them victory over death sin hell and all that which you do pennance for Now they that be reprobate concerning this faith are doing pennance all their lifetime and say they must have a Purgatory to do pennance when their life is ended and so all poor people you have a pittiful thing to passe through a fire before you be purified And as for Christs and the Apostles and Saints sufferings you are found in that nature that caused the just always to suffer and as for your Doctrine of Purgatory it is come up since the days of the Apostles amongst the Apostates the Devill has set it up who is out of the truth by his power since he set up his Synagogue but who be in the faith be over his Purgatory and synagogues and the Doctrine of it which is come up since the dayes of the Apostles for which there is no Scripture for the Saints which believed had passed from death to life and so from the Purgatory For purgatory is in the death he that passeth from it comes over Purgatory and death both to reigne with Christ here you shew your selves you are not believers Pr. The receiving of the Sacrament thou saist is not for the cleansing of you from sin but for the nourishment of your souls the body and blood of Christ being in it Answ. Why do you and the Protestants kill one another about such things seeing that you say the body and blood of Christ is in the Sacrament the bread and wine And the Protestants say in it is the spirit of Christ as you may look in a book called the Scotch Principles and in their Catechisms and is it not the same blood that cleanseth which nourishes How are you confused in this and put to your shifts I have heard talk of Papists and Jesuites were witty men but I see it is at an end and that which nourishes the immortall soule is not the mortal creatures ye are deceived in thinking so and the Protestants both that which nourishes the soul is Christ the power of God who is the Bishop of it the life the truth the power of God which is the immortall souls food and not the bread that will perish and things that will perish which those looked after that followed Christ for a time which was in the perishing minde which laboured after the perishing things and laboured not for the bread which comes downe from above which indures to eternall life which who eats of it hungers no more And so that is the Devils doctrine and the apostates which is got up since the days of the Apostles which tels people after they have consecrated the bread and wine it is the body and blood of Christ which Christ said bread would perish for his flesh saw no corruption Nor his body would not perish nor his blood that cleanseth from the dead works through which blood they overcome death and the word and power gives every creature its being without the consecration but that which nourishes the immortal soul is the mortal and man lives not by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God and this is Christs doctrine and the others is the Devils and apostates out of the life and power of Christ that saith men must live by bread alone Pr. Christ useth the Priest in the hands of a workman to make the Sacrament which is the body and bloud of Christ he saith that the formes of bread and wine which will corrupt cannot take away sin And after consecration it is not bread and wine but the very body and bloud of Christ Answ. In this you have shewed your confusion and unestablished state was it the very body and bloud of Christ that made the Corinthians drunk and in this thou hast confounded thy self in saying that the formes of bread and wine which is the very body and bloud of Christ will corrupt after consecration then the Ministers work in this thou hast spoyled who are the consecraters for the body and bloud of Christ will not corrupt nor perish which bread and wine will but that which gives bread and wine their being will never corrupt for bread and wine is a thing that is seen and though the Apostle said what he had received of the Lord that did he deliver to the Corinthians how that the same night the Lord Jesus was betrayed he took the cup and the bread when he had given thanks saying as oft as they did eate that bread and drink that cup they shewed the Lords death till he came and the Apostles delivered this to the Corinthians then in the second Epistle he brings them off from the things that are seen to the things vvhich are not seene which were eternal for bread and wine were things seen and temporal and bids them prove and examin themselves whether or no Christ was come know you not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you except you be reprobates and he is the living bread that came down from above who gives life unto the world and he that eates of this bread lives and abides for ever And as for thy word Sacrament we do not find that word expressed in Scripture nor where the Apostles spoke by Mary as you do who adore your own words that are Apostatized from the life them that witness Christ the substance in them they see the end of all things is come Christ Jesus him by whom all things was made who is the end of all things him is possest Such are not reprobates but reprobates and Judas may stick in the outward things as the Jewes did whose table was a trap and eyes blinded as you do who are inwardly ravened from the

Spirit of God And are the wolves in sheeps clothing worrying the Lambs that comes to witness Christ in them the substance and hath proved and examined themselves and found him and so there people sticking in that they call the sign and keeping people from the substance receiving Christ Jesus in them for these things was to be done in remembrance of Christ until he came now if bread and wine be the body of Christ and his bloud then he is come how do you that in remembrance of him untill he come was they to eate his body and drink his bloud till he come did he go away in the Spirit and leave his body behind answer this whether or no his body did not rise and whether his body be elementary there was a Protestant against you that said the body of Christ was corruptible and you said the bread and wine is the body and bloud of Christ and that will corrupt and so we see you all in the error Pr. He saith the bare form of bread and wine doth change And though the light lead up to Christ they see nothing but that which doth change namely bread and wine Answ. Hear thou hast confounded thy self and all the Papists the whole body of them and confounded your own wisdom and knowledge and your own faith in things you do professe fo● the body of Christ and his bloud doth not change and yet you say that bread and wine after consecration is the very body and bloud of Christ and hear you say doth change which is not comparable to the body and bloud of Christ that corrupts not nor changes not in this you have confounded your selves and blinded your souls in looking at things which are seen which the Divel and wicked ones out of the light do run into which you poor Creatures are captivated under his power things that are not seen are invisible but things that are seen as bread and wine are visible Pr. Our faith and doctrine is that Jesus Christ hath but one body and that the same body which is in that Sacrament shall come at last to judge us all Answ. The body of Christ which you call the bread after consecration which thou hast confessed is a changeable thing the ●orm of bread that which is changeable is not a judge Christ and his body is not changeable so therefore to judge and shall remain his body when bread and wine ceases So in this thou hast overthrown your own doctrine and faith and foundation and proved your selves to be stones of Babylon who with them builds up and throwes down again Pr. Whereas thou Queriest whether God is able to make one body to be in two or two thousand places at once Answ. The body of Christ is his flesh which he gives for the life of the world which they that eat it and feed upon it are of his flesh and lives for ever and are in more places then one comes to be of his flesh and of his bone and at this the Jewes stumbled that followed him for temporal bread and if temporal bread had been the body of Christ why would he bid them labour not for the meat that perisheth and that he said well in saying this is may body this is my bloud and except ye eat my flesh and drink my b●●ud ye have no life in you but he did not tell the people after they had consecrated bread and wine that it was his body and bloud and he would drink with them in the Kingdom and did Christ eate his own body and drink his own bloud answer these Queries we see that the body of Christ is hid from you all Papists and Protestants and his flesh and his bloud and his word● are spirit and life and that remains and bread and wine it is the elements did it come down from above from heaven after you have consecrated it is it not the wine that came of the grapes and the bread which was baked Christs body which is the bread is above the Manna which is given from heaven much more far above the bread of man Christ the true bread far above Angles-food is the body of Christ which who eates it lives for ever they that eated the Manna the Angels-food perished in the wildernesse many of them and far above mans bread that 's temporal and drink which they may eate and drink and hunger and thurst again and perish and which will perish Which they that decernes the Lords body decernes him that gives every creature its being the word of God by which all things was made and none of the figures nor shadowes nor types are the body of Christ but that which ends them all to you that is the word of the Lord which body was before they were which body is the Church the Piller and ground of truth and bread is not the Church after consecration for the Apostles never told us of that doctrine no vvhere in the Scriptures but you that of the body of Christ be ignorant the Top-stone is laid on your heads and the body of Christ makes us free from the Lavv Pr. We do not teach that bread after the consecration is the flesh of Christ but we say that after Christ had uttered these words this is my body or after the Priests according to Christs command do this in remembrance of me do utter the same words which we call consecration then the substance of bread vanisheth and is no more there but the body of Christ commeth in its place Answ. This again is confusion and you are confused and confounded in your own principles if the bread and wine which you say is not the flesh of Christ after consecration how is his body there and how can you say it is his body And thus you confound your selves Pr. Thou saist thou dost not find any expresse command of the Apostle in Scripture for observing of dayes nor meats nor none of these things as meats or crosses but what the Church shall command and saith but the Church hath commanded us to observe dayes and meats and that a crosse should be made in remembrance of Christs passion and the Images of Christ and his Saints may be set up and honored and that we should invoke the Saints c. and whatsoever the Church commandeth us And this is the sure and unmoveable ground upon which our Catholique faith even to the very least circumstance and ceremony is built c. And the contrary ground is the ground of all Hereticks Answ. We do believe you that all these observing of meats dayes and crosses is set up by your Churches command and all your Tythes Priests Pulpits and Temples amongst you and the Protestants which hath been set up by your Church command which is offended if they be not observed which is set up since the dayes of the Apostles which is Apostatized from the Apostles and the true Church in the Apostacy and are fallen into schisms and

was not the work of the Apostles nor of them that kept the faith of Gods elect that gives victory over the world and so those whom you call bad and those whom you call good are all found one here having drank the whores cup found in the fornication without husband out of the true humility which is Christ the seed that bears the sin and iniquity Pr. You take offence because the Roman faith doth teach it lawfull to punish Schismaticks and Hereticks with the sword but if you will be mad and say that those which seduce mens souls cause schisms and heresies in the Church and disturb the peace thereof must be let alone and may in no wise be punished who can help it Answ. The faith of the true Church did not teach any such doctrine to punish Schismaticks and Hereticks or Seducers with an outward sword but said on the contrary their weapons was not carnall but spirituall Now the carnall weapons who punish them you call Hereticks and Schismaticks whose Church is disturbed by such You shew you have not the power to convince gainsayers stop the mouths of them and make them to confess that God is in you of a truth and this doth shew that you are reprobated from the true faith which the Apostles were in and of Christ who said love your enemies and if any one smite thee on the one cheek turn the other novv the beast and false Prophets and the Anti-christs Mother of Harlots should drink the bloud of the Saints Martyrs and Prophets and kill them which the faith and patience of the Saints did not rise against now again the Lamb and the Saints should have the victory which should slay with the sword which are the words of his mouth not vvrestle against flesh and bloud killing creatures but over-comming with the bloud of the Lamb And here is the faith and patience of the Saints whose Kingdom is not of this world but you that are killing with the sword fire and fagots and inquisition bowing before Images Idols Pictures crosses these be all of this world and Kingdomes of it carnal weapons and carnal things held up by the carnal and not spiritual Now of your speaking of the Magistrates of the higher power which is higher then all Image-makers and Idols which gave them to see before transgression was which Transgresser set up Idols and Images which they in the higher power broke down that was the work of the Magistrates and they had the wisdom to make the true figure and shadow which Christ came to put an end to And they that set up Images Idols since the dayes of the Apostles and Pictures and crosses and holds them up by an outward power and Magistrates and compels others to bow down to them is the worship of the beast and not the worship of God and this I declare in the presence of the Lord God and all the Magistrates that be in Gods fear they will break down your Idols and Images and cross●s and crucifixes and masse-houses Schooles and Colledges which you make Priests and Ministers in which they that know the Ministers made by the will of God will do this and the exposition of the Scriptures by your Church we cannot own which is Apostatized from the true Church which bid the Saints keep from Idols which all that be of the true Church are so to do And your Church which is run into Idols Pictures and Likenesses is run into error and is not infallible and so you are gone from the life which gave forth the Scriptures which Peter was in and so run into Idols and must have Images and likenesses to put you in mind of Christ and the Saints And you are gon from the Spirit the holy Ghost which they was in which over-saw the Churches who watched for the Souls and had the rule over the Saints so from this Church are you apostatized its peace which Church is the Pillar and ground of truth the Divel is out of the Pillar and ground of truth he abode not in it and all schismes heresies they cannot disturb the peace of this Church here comes no sword-men here nor carnal weapons nor inquisitions fire nor fagget stockes and prisons nor Idols all such are w●thout that deceives Nations and tells them they are a Church which slayes the S●ints P●ophets and Martyrs the same nature slew Christ and his A●ostles and Abel with their carnall weapons for all are one out of the life and power of God striking at creatures wrestling against flesh and bloud in stead of striking at the power that captivates the creatures to the intent that creatures might come to the liberty of the sons of God now you h●ving not continued in the Apos●l●s faith mind and spirit but Apostatized from them you have all lost the guide and rule as they were in both Protestants and your selves that be out of the life and faith that the Apostles was in that led them to give forth the Scriptures so you have been the wolves in the Sheeps clothing destroying one another about outward things and powers but with the power of God and life of God by them that are in the wisdom of God are you all judged to be out of the Kingdom of peace which is the Kingdom of Christ fighting with carnal weapons hailing to the Goals Inquisitions whips stocks houses of correction faggots fires either Protestants or Papists are you here like the Kingdom of Christ his subjects but like Pharisees Jewes and Cain apostatized from the Apostles lost the faith lost the unity lost the Spirit of God which the Saints was in which led them to give forth the Scriptures in which is the unity which is the bond of peace into which all that is called Christendome must come before they be one and all the names blotted out that is amongst them given to them in the apostacy since the dayes of the Apostles and all their prayers is abomination that be out of that unity and to you that is the word of the Lord and the Quaeries thou hast not answered and your prayers is denyed and your peace also for you have not abided in that which the Apostles and the Saints was in which did oversee the Churches but you are turned strikers which the Apostle saith they should not be so And the Apostle saw the comming in of the man of sin and Christ speaks of Anti-christ and the false Prophets coming in with their signs and lying wonders which if it were possible would deceive the very Elect which John saw was come and went forth from them and bid the Saints keep themselves from Idols for they were them that got up Idols which went forth from the Apostles which Apostles bid the Saints keep to the anointing in them and they need not that any man should teach them but as the same anointing teacheth them which is truth and no lye and even as it had taught them so

and examine themselves if Christ were not in them Know ye not that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates And all these things are got up since the days of the Apostles Representations Images Crosses and Reliques amongst you that are apostatized fr●m them that bid the Saints keep from Idols that had a sight of your coming up before their decease which you Papists and Professors hath since reigned and drunk the blood of the Saints and the Saints blood drunk and hath been Satans synagogue and out from the Saints This should be that the word of God might be fulfilled and are fulfilling But now the Lamb and the Saints the Top-stone is over your heads and Christ is come to reign Glory to the highest for ever who kils with the sword which are the words of his mouth conquering and to conquer And the seed is risen and rising in males and females the sons and daughters of men From them that be of the seed which the Beast makes war against The Answer to R.W. his Paper wherein he vindicates the doctrine and practise of the Romane Church so called to be the Church of Christ In the dark night of ignorance when men hath been as in a deep sleep their eyes closed in security a spirit of slumber hath seased upon many Nations the God of this World having blinded their eyes then the ravinous beasts have come out of their dens and hath ranged abroad in the earth seeking to destroy and to devour the sheep of the Lords pasture and to kill them that the shepherd hath fed and to lead them astray as into a great Wildernesse from the fold that they might worry them and destroy them and make a prey upon them and that which Christ prophesied of which Math. hath recorded Chapter the 7. vers. 15. and in the 24. of Math. 9.10 and the 11. the false Prophets the Wolves which should come and devour and to the intent that they may not be so easily descovered by the Sheep they shall come in the sheeps clothing but inwardly are ravining Wolves and these John and Peter and Paul saw come in their dayes and fortold that they should more increase after and should not spare to make havock of the Church of Christ this was long before the general apostacy and they fortold that there should be a departure from the faith and likewise that many should make ship wrack of faith and a good conscience and the spirit spoke expresly that in the latter time some should depart from the Faith and should give head to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils that should speak lyes in hypocricy forbidding to mary and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created 1 Tim. 4.1 2 3. and this doctrine of Devills is found in the Church of Rome with many more which hereafter may be mentioned which clearly demonstrates that the Wolves the false Prophets the deceivers the Anti-christs the Seducers them that taught the doctrines o● Devils them that were seduced believed this doctrine which was apostatized from the doctrine of Christ and the Apostles here is your beginning here is the corner-stone of your foundation the dead-stones of which your visible Church was made up of which is none of Gods Temple but the synagogue of Satan and a residence for the Devill from whence all these Devillish doctrines have proceeded that hath corrupted all nations hath unsetteled them that they are become like a sea casting out all this mire and dirt swelling raging tossing unstable the Nations are waters tongues languages kindred out of these waters rose the beast with his heads and hornes that hath prevailed and hath over-come the Saints and hath shed their blood and filled them and hath made war against the Lamb and yet doth his followers so that none hath escaped the rage of the beast who had not his mark and upon these waters kinreds tongues Nations and Peoples the whore sits which is none of the Lambs wife and she hath made all drunk with the wine of her fornication so that all Nations have been intoxicated and inflamed and have reeled and staggered and fallen from the faith vvhich stands in the power of God and so being erred from the faith that works by love you have set up another fained faith which works by wrath and envie murther and cruelty witness your bloodly mas●acring torturing racking tearing rending burning destroying killing and murdering many thousands since the dayes of the Apostles so that your faith is manifest to be reprobate by the fruits you have brought forth before mentioned I challenge all the body of your visible Church so called to prove that ever Christ or his Apostles or the Churches which beleeved and received the everlasting Gospel and were in the faith that wrought by love where they taught or practised any such things as burning kiliing destroying racking them that were Hereticks or there was heresy at Jerusalem among the Jewish Church some that held that their was neither Angel nor Spirit nor resurrection which was heresy and yet their is no mention of burning or killing of such and their was heresy in the primitive times before ever your ruinous heap of visible dead stones were brought together of which now so great a Babell is builded or before you had the name of a Church and yet no mention is made of their burning or racking or killing of them for the faith which wrought by love endured all things in which the Apostle was in the charity that suffered long and endured all things but your fruits have made your reprobate faith manifest unto many blessed be the Lord But now the night is far spent and the day is at hand and is dawned upon many and the Anti-christs is seen and the Deceivers and false Prophets and the Wolves that hath the sheeps clothing the Saints words and now the table of Devills is seen and the doctrine of Devills and they will not be partaked of nor harkened unto as they have been in yeares past for now the heritage of God that hath laid wast is coming to be tilled and the threshing-instrument that hath teeth is put into the hands of the Lambs followers and now wo to the hills they shall be threshed to dust and shall be levelled and wo to the beast his hornes shall be broken which hath risen out of the Sea the Sea sh●ll be dried up out of which he had his rise and the mother of Harlots shall become desolate and her Flesh burnt with fire and wo to her merchants that have traded by Sea for it will be dried the lamentation is heard which shall speedly come when they shall cry alas alas and wo to the Kings of the earth that have drunk of the whores cup and wo to them that have admired the beast and have said who is able to make war with the beast he is come who is able to make war in righteousness

all the world hath wondred after the Beast And thou saith If any ask thee upon what ground thou believes that Christ and the Apostl●s taught all these things before mentioned Thy answer is upon the same ground thou believes they wrote the New Testament even the testimony of all Christians in all ages Here thou hast shewed thy faith that it is but reprobate is but by hearsay and is builded upon hear-say and tradition And for your testimony of Christians in all ages let us have your testimony from the Christians of Jerusalem from Antioch from Thessalonica Colossia and Corinth Philippia and the rest of the Churches and Christians which lived in the age of the Apostles And likewise let us have the testimony of the Churches of Asia which if thou dost bring to prove these fore-mentioned things then thou brings a testimony against Christ and the Apostles to make them transgressors to build those things which they have destroyed And thou saith by that which thou hast written we may see the firmnesse of the Roman faith By that which thou hast written I see the blindnesse and the ignorance and the rottennesse and the foundation of the Roman Church to be but rubbish and sandy for it stands upon inventions mens traditions and devised fables and lying stories and is not founded upon the Rock of ages and stands in the waters which are moveable and unstable upon which the whore sits which has made all Nations drunk which the great Kings thou speaks of which hath been converted have drunk of and so came to be Protectors of the Pope defenders of your Religion by carnall Swords by Fires Murthers and Inquisitions and killing them who keep the word of Gods patience and deny all your Idolatry and this has been acted amongst you since the Apostles dayes in the Apostacy But the Lord in his power hath appeared and hath dryed up some of the waters out of which the B●ast had his rise and hath broken some of his horns with which he hath pushed and all the Kings which have given their power to the Beast have made war against the Lamb and his followers But the time is coming when the Beast and the Whore and the false Prophets and Antichrists shall be taken and cast into the Lake and the Lamb and the Saints shall have the victory 6 Prin. Your Church thou sayest is proved to be the true Church by the great sanctity and power of godlinesse and mortification as hath appeared in the Roman Church in all ages and how they have lived in pure and perfect chastity and how they have left their pride and thou challenges to shew thee such among all those thou calls Hereticks Answ. More ungodliness hath not appeared neither hath been acted by any heathens in the world then hath been acted amongst you as blood shed murther killing burning destroying them that would not worship your Idol and you have made the name of Christ which you professe in words and christianity to stink among Heathens by your barbarous cruel●y and your unhumane usage of them in many places of the world and as for sanctity and holinesse you are altogether strangers unto Is there not tolleration for whoredome in the principal Cities of the Popes Dominions and cruelty the like is not to be found in the whole world Witnesse your devill●sh Inquisition and hellish devices to torture and kill and destroy them which will not submit and follow your foolish imaginations and deny the living God and for pride he which you call your holy Father hath exceeded many Kings hath been made to kisse his feet and in most of the Nations where the Roman faith is professed no such pride appears in any Nation except them And furthermore thou saith the mighty power of God hath appeared in converting whole Kingdomes into the Christian faith your conversion we know and your converts have been made manifest by their fruits that they are two-fold more the children of the Devil and have but only turned them from one sort of Images to set up another and that which you call conversion more hath been turned for fear of your swords faggots and fires being afraid of death then hath been by any of your doctrine which hath been taught And as for your fasting thou boasts of we know what it is denying one sort of meat and taking another and fasting one day and riotous another And as for your voluntary humility and poverty which stands in your own wills which is onely to deceive people that thereby your Cloysters and your Cels might be enriched that your Fryars and your Monks might live in pride and idlen●sse and thou saith by this doctrine which Austin the Monk taught that is to say to fast from lawful meats and to confess their odious and secret sins unto him have converted whole Nations by this Doctrine from the vanities and pleasures of the world as I said before they are but turned to outward shews and Images and the pleasures and vanities of the world are still standing in their hearts and shews themselves forth in their actions And as for thy Saints Boniface Wil●road and Saint Patrick their work is yet to be seen they which professe the same Doctrine in Ireland the fruits hath made Patricks Doctrine and their conversion manifest which was Rebellion Treachery Murther and Blood-shed and many thousand men women and children have been destroyed in that Nation within lesse then this twenty yeares which is manifested that Patrick and his Converts was Cains successors and not the successors of the Apostles of Christ And as for the lying Wonders and Miracles thou speaks of and of a Jesuite raising twenty dead bodies to life again It is like thou will prove this as well as thou proved that Christ taught to say Masse and to fast in Lent and keep holy days But all thy lyes are seen and your deceit found out and with the life of God you are all judged And though you have deceived the Nations long and kept people in ignorance and blindnesse and have maintained your deceit by Cains weapons and have upholden the kingdome of Antichrist by your bloody cruelty yet he is come and coming to be revealed in the Nations whose Dominion is everlasting who will subdue all his enemies under his feet take the wicked in their own craftiness and he himselfe alone rule whose right it is who will confound you with all your Idols for ever that his glory over all may be advanced F. H. THis is the word of the Lord God to you that fast and afflict your selves and observe days meats which the Kingdom of God stands not in You that fast you want the Bridegroom you want Christ and the bond of iniquity is amongst you and this fasting and afflicting of your selves for a day days is not the Fast that the Lord requires which breaks the bond of iniquity which fast being known that the Lord requires the foundation
