in this thing I shall not compare them with you 26. Bishop and Priest you and your Courts have been more troublesom and burdensom to some of us the People than all other Courts and Taxes that we have paid since your heavy Yoke and cruel Bondage came upon us which makes us to feel the weight and burden of it in our Estates and in our Consciences 27. Pope and Bishop Papist and Priest you are here and may be more at large so yoked together that you cannot be separated while you continue in your Will-worship and compelling Fellowship and carnal Ordinances and dry empty Forms and forcing People to joyn with you whether they will or no and your cruel Dealings with those that cannot for Conscience sake joyn with you in your Self-Worships which do not profit Soul nor Body I say while you do use the same means and live in the same Condition as Pope and Papists do what difference is between you and them And who will joyn in Worship with such a cruel merciless self-ended People as many of you are except it be some in a slavish Condition out of fear or some that make gain from your unchristian Wages or some other by-ends as it appeareth and as we find by the fruit of your corrupt Trees which you have been all this while planting and dressing and while they do feed you you are at peace with them be they never so bad and wicked for if you will tell them of one fault they can tell you of another if not of two so like Priest like People as the Scripture doth declare if you should deny this will not your Parishioners confess it Christ said When thou are converted then strengthen thy Brethren From what is evil and to what is good are you converted except it be from a small Means and Wages to a greater which is no Conversion but Promotion While you live in Covetousness you cannot do the People any good a good Tree cannot bring forth evil Fruit neither can a corrupt Tree bring forth good Fruit Mat. 7.18 and in vers 15. Beware of false Prophets which come to you in Sheeps Clothing but inwardly they are ravening Wolves V. 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits do men gather Grapes of Thorns or Figs of Thistles Here you are plainly seen and known to be the false Prophets your Fruit doth make you manifest to every honest single-hearted man And are not many of you as cruel as Woles and your good fruits a● hard to be had as Grapes of Thorns or Figs of Thistles And is there any in the Nations like you or to be compared to you i● Cruelty and Oppression And 〈◊〉 not they blind and want true Understanding that cannot see that you have the Marks that the false Prophets in all Ages had witness the Scripture from the beginning to the end where it speaks of false Prophets You cannot hide your selves in this the day of the Lords Power made manifest in and to his People for this is the day that the Lord God makes up his jewels and doth separate his People from amongst you the Goats Wolves Thorns and Thistles and we are his People and the Sheep of his Pasture and we know his living voice and the dead voices of you who to him are strangers we will not hear nor follow for you cannot ●ead us but where you are in the dark Kingdom of this World but the Lord who is our living Shepherd he hath and doth lead us to his Kingdom which is not of this World as Christ said and in his Kingdom he doth feed his little flock and there by him they are refreshed nourished and preserved out of your cruel hands and corrupt food that is to perish and cannot feed nor serve your turn in time of need And our food our rest peace joy comfort happiness fellowship and well-beeing is a hidden Mystery to you Priests if not you would not seek us to come to you back again where you have been too long already and are resolved in the Name of our God never to come back Go not to them but let them come to you saith the Scriptures Is there any reason that we should pay you wages while you do us no service and we deny you and your Service yet notwithstanding you would reap where you do not sow and have the wages where another doth the work and feed your greedy Bellies upon other mens Rights and Labours you make many poor in making your selves rich and many do go bare and fare hard to maintain your pride and fullness And thus you persecute Gods heritage and are the greatest Oppressors and Vexers of the People as any this day in this Kingdom And if he that had not the Wedding Garment was cast into utter Darkness where is wailing and gnashing of Teeth what will become of you that are clothed with the Garment of unrighteous Gains If he that was among the People of God and for them and as to outward appearance one of them was thus dealt with what will become of you that are against them and their Meetings and hinder them and break their Meetings And if Christ did say to them that in his Members did not visit him in Prison Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels what will he say to you that do cast him in his Members into Prison seeing that Christ said so to them that were too short in their Duty towards his People what will he say to you that are cruel and spiteful towards his People read Mat 25.32 to the end and you may see the reward of both the godly and ungodly the portion of the faithful and unfaithful And if the five foolish Virgins came too short the door shut and they kept out that were in company and profession with the wise Virgins what will become of you that do not only hate the company and profession of the godly but also set your selves to strive against them that they may not trim their Lamps and prepare themselves to make read to enter in with the Bridegroom And plainly this is your work to hinde the little slock to meet and follow the Lamb their leader And if th● Righteous scarcely be saved where shall the ungodly sinners appear I Pet 4.18 If those whom God hath separated from the ungodly world and united them to himself to witness for him and against the Sim of the World if they have nothing to spart but scarcely be saved Oh! where shall they appear that live in sin and plead for sin and say they must sin whilst they live in the earthly body No thanks to cease when you can sin no longer in the body If you must live in Sin whilst you are on thi● side the Grave when will you live in Righteousness seeing the Scripture saith Know ye not that to whom ye yield your selves Servants to obey his Servants you are to whom ye

hate which is Sin You not believing in the Infallible and Discerning Spirit of God cannot judge the things of God 〈◊〉 right but do as it is written Wo unto them that call evil good and go●● evil that put darkness for light and light for darkness that put bitte● for sweet and sweet for bitter Isa 5.20 You may here read you● selves and see your condition you do as in vers 23. take away th● Righteousness of the Righteous from him and it is our desire to take aw●● the Vnrighteousness of the Vnrighteous from you and that all may co●● to know the Righteousness of Jesus Christ and in him to witne● their Souls Health and Salvation and with us to partake of the heavenly Enjoyments that in the Treasure-House of our God is to be enjoy'd and thus we wish that all men may come to the acknowledgment of the Tr●●● that they may receive Forgiveness of their Sins and be saved from the Wrath of God that cometh on the Children of Disobedrence Col. 3.6 Rom. 1.18 ch 2.5 6 7 8 9. Here you may see that the portion of the Disobedient is the Wrath of God and you must all be either obedient or disobedient to Christ Oh! that you would mind it consider it truly weigh it and lay it to heart whether of these you are that ye may not deceive your selves in thinking to be what you are not and so come short of your expectation for you must reap of what you sow and how can ye expect to sow one kind of Seed and reap of another as it s written Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that he shall also reap for he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap Corruption but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap Life everlasting Gal. 6.7 8. People come to Christ the Light that ye may see what Seed ye sow and be no longer deceived by the windy Doctrine of ungodly men who draw nigh unto God with their Mouthes and with their Lips but their Hearts are far from him teaching for Doctrine the Traditions of men this is Scripture and these are the Deceivers which the People are to draw from and to come to the Grace of God to be taught which was and is the Teacher of the Godly For the Grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that denying Vngodliness and worldly Lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world Tit. 2.11 12. This is the true Teacher the Grace of God and the true Messengers of Christ did and do direct the People to the Grace of God which will not deceive them And these that in truth do direct them to that which will not deceive cannot be Deceivers but those that do direct the People to any other thing or things from the living Teacher that will not be removed into a corner are Deceivers and deceived Isa 30.20 21. Bishop and Priest the living God saith of Christ This is my beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased hear ye him And you have that which ye have received of men who have set you at work and it doth well please you and if we will not hear and pay you you persecute and brand us with Names of Reproach and will stir up the Magistrates against us thus you have done and this you are yet like to do But this is the Work of Christ who did and doth work love peace and good will towards me● and forgive Enemies or is it not the Devil's work to make strife and ill will destroy Goods cast to Prison and stir up the Magistrates against a peaceable People If this be not the Devil's work whose work is it for I am sure it is not of God for the righteous God by his Word in his People in all Ages did declare against those things and the like of your Practice And as for those People formerly which did the same work as now you do who may be call'd your Fathers John said to them O generation of Vipers altho they did come to his Baptism not having fruits meet for Repentance● were not accepted but call'd Generation of Vipers Mat. 3.7.8 And wo unto you Scribes Pharisees and Hypocrites for ye shut up the Kingdom of Heave● against men for ye neither go in your selves neither suffer ye them that are entring to go in Mat 23.13 Is not this now your work you will neither enter in your selves nor suffer them that are entring to go in Can you say● that you have entred into the Kingdom or can you deny that you do no● seek to hinder others to enter in and keep them in the Kingdom of th● World where you are or can you give a true account of the Way to th● Kingdom or of the Government therein or how and when you did enter into the Kingdom and what you did meet with by the way or who o● your followers did follow you then or can witness that ever you did direct them then and how could you direct others where you your selves are strangers And so as it written The People do perish for want of knowledge and the Leaders of the People do cause them to err and they that are led by them shall be destroyed And as Elymas did turn away the Deputy from the Faith so do not you now turn the People from the living Faith which is the gift of God to a dead form of Worship and why may no● we say thus to the Guilty now sith it was said to one of old more sharply if ye do the same work as he did and pervert the right way of the Lord 〈◊〉 Acts 13.7 8 9 10. I can plainly make it appear that you I speak to the guilty do the same works as your Fore-Fathers the ungodly Generation did and is not their reward due to you and did not Christ and Paul hi● true Messenger say that the ungodly in the Ages before were fathers of th● ungodly in their age even so may we say now And it was not their saying that they were Abraham's Children made them so to be while they were 〈◊〉 their Father the Devil as Christ said and doing his works neither will 〈◊〉 serve your turn to say that you are Children of God while you do hate and hurt his People which is the work of the Devil as hath been proved Speaking when God requires Doing is not regarded when the works are co●trary to the words the heart is deceitful and from the old heart that is n●● by God renewed cannot proceed any thing to please God for when th● old corrupt Nature speaketh true words they are not accepted with God and although they say The Lord liveth surely they swear falsly Jer. 5.2 F●● what soever is not of faith is sin Rom. 14.23 But without Faith it is impossib●● to please God Heb. 11.6 Faith is the gift of God and is within to be found and the meek mild lowly and single 〈◊〉 hearted ones do sind the precio●● Peace and are enriched with th●● 〈◊〉 Riches that shall never be tak●● from them But greedy Worms 〈…〉 and feed themselves with th●● which will not serve in time of ●eed and necessity THE END
