onely one to speak at a set-time and count it disorder for any for any to speak besides him which stands in the high place or whether if any thing were revealed to another that stood by the first ought not to hold his peace whether this was ever counted confusion and disorder by such who were the true Church and had the Spirit of God or by the false Church onely who were gone from the Spirit of the Lord and to whom Revealations is ceased VII Whether all who walk not contrary to the Scripture as ye doe in these things and abide not in the Doctrine of Christ have either the Father or the Son and whether such can Minister Christ who have him not revealed in themselves VIII Whether your Praying Singing and Preaching and all your Ordinances and Sacrifices be not sinne and all your Incense as if you blest an Idol or slew a man and offered swines flesh which is abomination to the Lord and whether swines flesh and harlots flesh be not the fame as ever it was Come all you people of what sort or opinion soever you be Come all you Independants Baptists and Separatists of what Body or Church soever who are not acted guided and led by the Pure Eternall Unchangeable light of Christ in your Consciences the Church of the First-born which is in God you know not nor the generall Assembly whose Names are written in Heaven ye are not yet come too but ye are all of the Synagogue of Satan and the God of the world hath blinded the eye which is the Light which should lead you to descern the Body which is the Church and my bowels are yerning and my love is issuing out towards you all and by the power of the Lord and in the Maiesty of the Lord I am constrained to deal plainly with you all and to wound you all and to heal the hurt of none slightly as your false Teachers have long done who have daubed with untempered morter and spoken peace to the wicked who have not wounded the head of the wicked nor the hairy scalpe of such as hath been found in rebellion against the Lord and have laid a foundation but have not taken away the rubbish in which the book of the Law hath been hid and is hid in you whom the God of the world hath blinded the eye which should see him who is invisible and the true foundation and everlasting arme which is underneath upon which all the generation of the Righteous did build but you are building the New house on your Old foundation and you are garnishing the Sepulchre of the dead and you are clothing your selves with the white raiment and setting a goodly Miter upon your heads but the filthy ragges and rotten ragges and filthy garment is yet over Joshua the High Priest and he is slain and the world and the foundations thereof and the Pillars thereof are set upon him and the great Mystery hid from you all which is Christ within the hope of Glory And you are all in the Darknesse and out of the Light which makes manifest Darknesse and the Light shines in the darknesse And you who are in the darknesse by the children of Light are comprehended and by him which is Judged of no man nor careth not for mans Judgement are you all Judged and Condemned but the Light your selves cannot comprehend who are in the darknesse Therefore all come down into the deep that you may see the wonderous workes of the Lord in the great waters and that ye may be drawn out of the waters upon which the Whore sitteth which waters have gone over and are over your heads read within Christ the Head of every man stand still awhile that you may see the Salvation of the Lord and his his power rise in you and his arme bring forth Salvation for you and the Sea shall be dried up and the tongue of the Egyptian shall be smitten in the seven streams and the foundations of the World shall be discovered and the Channells of the Sea shall be seene and he shall be known and what manner of man he is that rebukes the Windes and the Sea obey him and the swadling Band you shall know which binds and shuts up the Sea as with doores and saith to the proud and raging Waves thereof hitherto shalt thou goe and no further This is our God whom we have been looking for this is the Living which we have been seeking amongst the dead he it is which was in this place and we knew it not we will be gald and reioyce in his day This is day of the Lords might power this is the Day of the Lambs Marriage and the Supper of the great King and the day of the Lords Controversie with all his Enemies which are gathered together with Gog and Magog as the sands of the Sea and are persecuting imprisoning the Saints and compassing about the beloved City and the fire of the Lord is coming out of Heaven to destroy you all And the Lyon is come out of the Thicket and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way and the sword of the Lord is drawne and Made reddy for the slaughter and the slain of the Lord shall be many and made drunk with the blood of Bulls Rams and Goats Oh that you would be wise Oh that you would understand this that you would consider your latter end but you are a people voide of Councell neither is there any understanding in you for ye have reiected the pure eternall and immortall Word of the Lord and behinde your backs ye have cast it and you have lightly esteemed and counted the Light which is the rock of Ages as a low thing and ye have stumbled at the stumbling stone and the rock that begets hath been lightly esteemed by you who

enlightned every man to you who are high in professions and above the door it is become foolishnesse though it be the tryed Stone the Corner Stone and the Foundation Stone and to us that have tryed him and beleeve in him he is precious but to you who are wise as I said before this is too low a thing for you to tell you of that which smiteth you in your Consciences and checketh you reproveth you in secret this say you who are in your sinnes and pleading for sinne and saying none can be without sinne while they live this say you we knew long since To thee I say whoever thou art thou knewest thy Condemnation then for had not he come a light into the World thou hadst had no sinne wherefore now thou hast no cloak for thy sinne But I say hadst thou come down when thou first knew this thing and turned at the reproof of the Lord when he first

This is Written in PLAINNESSE OF HEART and Bowels of Everlasting love to my PERSECUTORS WHO HAVE Shot Sore at me and hated me without a cause Both Magistrates Priests and People in Stafford Sheir or elsewhere that ye all may be turned from the Darknesse to the Light and from Antichrist without unto Christ within who is the Light of the World and hath lighted every man therein with his saving Light Some Queres also for such who call themselves Ministers of Christ but are altogether unlike him or his Ministers to Answer Together with a Warning from the Lord God of Life and Power to Repent and leave Persecuting and striving against or kicking against the Lord. Written from one who have been in the Pit Death Grave and Hell But am come from Far and am sit down with Abraham Isaack and Jacob in the Heavenly places with them that are in Christ but unknown to you I am But by the Name I received amongst you HVMPHRY WOLLRICH 2 Cor. 3.6 God hath made us able Ministers or the New Testament not of the Letter which kills but of the Spirit which gives Life Printed for Robert Wilson at the signe of the Black-spread-Eagle and wind-Mill in Martins-lane near Aldersgate COme all ye Magistrates Rulers and Officers in Stafford which are sworn to do Justice and ex●e●●e Judgement and lay the sword upon the neck of the Wicked and to be a terrour to Evil doers and a strength and a praise to them that do Well Come all to the Light wherewith Christ who is the True Light hath enlightned you with 〈◊〉 and so you shall see the Evil doer deceiver and seducer which 〈…〉 to sinne iniquity and trangression nearer you than you were aware even he which reignes and rules in Stafford and leads the Inhabitants thereof into Swaring Lying and Drunkenesse so that your being Christians is onely in words ye being dead in your trespasses and sinnes and the God of the World having blinded the eye by which the Lord hath said he will guide and lead his people into all Truth out of all iniquity transgression and sinne which the Inhabitants of Stafford abounds withall and yet have covered themselves with a Profession and have got the Prophets words and Christs words but are inwardly ravened and cast the Law of the Lord behind them which is Light and have reiected the Word of the Lord which is nigh them in their hearts Rom. 10.8 And this is the Word that opens the blinde Eye and is immortal and unchangeable and is like a fire and like a hammer Sinke down and ye shall feel it so and this is it which was before the Bible was which your false Teacher tells you is the Word of the Lord and opens the blinde Eye and this is the Word which was before the World was whom the Jewes which had the Words Slew and Crucified and this is false Doctrine for David prayed the Lord that he would open his eyes Psalm 119.18 and Psal 146.8 The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down and looseth the bonds of the prisoner Isaiah 42.6 7. where you may read That it is onely the work of Christ to open the blinde Eyes and to bring out the Prisoners from the prison and them that sit in Darknesse out of the Prison house And this is he which commands the Consciences of men which love him and the Condemnation of all that hate him and rebell against him and not the Bible as your blinde Guide tells you And why will you be so blinde as to look upon me as an evil Doer who was moved of the Lord to question this Doctrine that poor ignorant people who are in their sinnes might be deceived no longer and the Lord God Almighty is my witnesse and the testimony of the Lord stands sure and shall witnesse for me in you all that I do not this wickedly or maliciously nor in stubbornnesse either against Magistrate or Minister but in obedience to the Lord and that people which lie in darknesse might be turned to the light from the power of Satan unto God and why will you call this delusion or a deluding Spirit that causeth Drunkards to leave off their drunkenesse and become sober and temperate and Swarers to leave their swaring and Lyars to speak the truth and in the power of the Lord God I warne you all to consider what is my transgression or sinne amongst you for which I have been imprisoned eight or nine times in Stafford Which of you have I caused that was sober to become a drunkard or what Countenancers have I been of lyars swearers and mockers there amongst you I say Is it for any of these things for which I have been so often imprisoned or have I not suffered for bearing a testimony against these things which Stafford doth abound with notwithstanding all their Profession And is not your Markets which I have been moved of the Lord to speak in and to cry out against these things yet abounding with Swearers and Drunkards which go reeling up and down the streets unpunished neither are they looked upon is deceivers or deceived neither are they counted a disturbance or troublers of your Israel And how doth your Steeple-houses abound and your Church made up of such as these which professe Christ in words but have lost the Life and are altogether unlike Christ or Christians and to every good word and work are reprobates and by such as these are we persecuted and abused who have lost both form and power of godlinesse and are enemies to the life of Christ which they in words professe therefore the Lord God Almighty hath raised up many witnesse and in his Life and Spirit and by the Power of the Lord are they led to bare a testimony against all your false Teachers which are run and God never sent them and have cryed the Lord saith it unto you when the Lord hath not spoken to them but are theeves and robbers and are climed up another way than by Christ the Door and so are become theeves and robbers and have stolne Christs words and the Apostles words and are condemning the Jewes for Crucifying Christ but themselves are Crucifying him again and imprisoning persecuting and stoning them in whom he is made manifest and so are you like the Jewes and your Priests have no other weapons nor no other sword to cut down Hereticks withall but prisons clubs and staffes which are Carnall as the High Priests weapons were and not Spiritual as Pauls was and the Jewes which had the Prophets words and thought to have Eternal Life therein were Condemning their Fathers for killing the Prophets but they would not come to Christ who the Light of the World that they might have Life who was the end of all the Prophets and the life of all the Prophets him they Crucified as a Deceiver and Blasphemer and prince of Devils Therefore in the fear of the Lord God I
