say that generation then present should not pass till they came or those things before the passing way of that genera●●on● should be done and is this the generation of men that generation which were personally present then though the evill Spirit of error doe rule in a great number of the persons who are of the seed of evill doers in this sinfull and sin contending for generation yet there hath been many generations since Christ said false Christs and false Prophets should come And that that generation then present whilst Christ were personally with them should not pass till those things should be done how is it then that Priests and Pofessors are so ignorant of the Scriptures to try they are but come now and that these are the last times of which Christ said they should come Observe Christ said to his Disciples while personally present with them false Christs and false Prophets should come and deceive many Mat. 24. Mar. 13. as aforesaid and he also said that generation should not pass till those things should be done this Christ said to his Disciples and friends whilst personally present with them and said beware of them for many shal be deceived by them and you shall be delivered up to be afflicted and ye shall be killed and hated of all nations for my names sake and as Christ said they should come Iohn in his time or in that generation before it was passed said they were come and moreover he said that was the last time in which it was said they should come for saith the Apostle Iohn in the 1. Epistle 2. Chapter 18 19. ver Little children it is the last time and as you have heard that Anti-Christ should come even now are there many false Christs or Anti-Christs whereby we know that it is the last time here they were come yet priests and professors are so ignorant of the Scripture that they cry out now they are come and they are come but now when they came before the decease of the Apostle Iohn many hundred years since yea saith he they went out from us but they were not of us for if they had been of us no doubt but they would have continued with us but they went out that they might be made manifest they were not all of us ver 19. And as Christ had foretold his Disciples of the coming of those false Christs an● how they would deceive many saith he goe not forth or o●●t after them but rather abide within so when they we●●●… me Iohn said and declared then that they were not come in his time and he writ to the faithfull to keep to the anointing within 1 Ioh. 2.20 27. And here Johns Epistle agreed with Christs Doctrine and moreover as Iohn had told that the false Christs or Anti-Christs were come and exhorted the faithfull to keep to the anointing within he also said that the false Prophets were come and were already gone out into the world beloved said he to them that kept to the anointing within them 1 Ioh. 2.27 and kept the commandements of Christ and knew that he abode in them and that they abode in him because he had given them of his Spirit 1 Ioh. 2.23 24. yea and such as had overcome the Devil the wicked one and had the word of God abiding in them ver 13.14 who were of God and not of the world 1 Ioh. 5.19 who being of God knew the Son of God to be come and said he had given them an understanding to know him that is true and then they were in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ 1 Ioh. 5.20 they did not deny Christ to be within who were in him and he in them neither were they of the world but of God and such Iohn writ unto to try the Spirits he did not write unto the world nor hireling Priests to try the Spirits take notice of that but he writ to them that were not of the world but of God and were in Christ and owned and professed Christ to be in them as aforesaid to such he writ to try the Spirits saying beloved beleeve not every Spirit but try the Spirits whether they be of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world 1 Joh. 4.1 marke many false Prophets saith he are gone out into the world then they were come long before this time and since then they have had a long reign and now is God discovering them and bringing people off from them Christ said they should come viz. false Prophets and false Christs and John saw they were come and went out from them and was not that which inwardly ravened from the Spirit of God into the Apostacy the ground which the false Prophets rose out of and did not they that turned from the truth and abode not in it joyn together with the Beast to make war with the Saints and did not such turne against the Saints as ran a whoring from that of God and did not they make war with the Saints and overcome them and did not the false Prophets deceive and seduce Nations and Kindreds Languages and multitudes and set up the Image or worship of the Beast and did not all that dwelt upon the earth goe out after them and worship the Beast and his Image but the elect whose names are written in the Lambes book of life slaine from the foundation of the world and must not they that worship the Beast and his Image be plagued and tormented as may be read Rev. 13. and Rev. 14. Christ said false Prophets should come and deceive many yea if it were possible the very elect Mat. 24 John saw they were come and gone out into the world 1 John 2.18 19. and in the Rev. John speaks of the Beast and false Prophet joyning together and how they had prevailed but the Beast and the false Prophet are to be cast together into the lake of fire and brimstone and must be tormented day and night for ever and ever Rev. 20.10 here he hath declared their punishment to be everlasting John saw that all the world wondered after the Beast Rev. 13.3 and they worshipped the Beast saying who is like unto the Beast who is able to make war with him ver 4. when he had made war with the Saints and had overcome them was not power given him over all Kindreds and Tongues and Nations ver 7. and did not the Beast so prevaile when he had made war with the Saints and overcome them that he set up in the time of Apostacy when he had dominion in England in and through the Pope Schools Colledges called Vniversities to fit and make ministers for himself and was not all constrained to worship that which vvas set up in the Apostacy but such as had their names written in the Lambs Book of life who could not worship the Beast and hi● Image but rather choosed to suffer and he caused ●all both small and great rich and poor

not since then deceived the Nations and are they no more setled then waters or how should it be otherwise whilst they erre from the true Spirit and follow their own inventions but God is now bringing and hath brought many people out of the waters to the Rock Christ Jesus and is building them together in him upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth to an holy Temple in the Lord For an habitation of God through the Spirit Eph 2.18 19 20 21 22. And now is the Lord bringing people to the true spirituall worship againe according to the Scriptures Ioh. 4.23 24. Phil 3.3 which was before the Apostacy at which the false Prophets that hath long reigned in the time of Apostacy are greatly offended but it is but that the Scriptures may be fulfilled which saith evill men and seducers shall waxe worse and worse deceiving and being deceived 2 Tim. 3.13 The true Christians owned and professed Christ Jesus within them before the Apostacy and did not deny Revelation but since the Apostacy the false Prophets and Antichristians denyeth the true Christ to have an inbeing in his people and are offended at such as own revelation and the true Christ to be within according to the Scriptures The Apostle Paul not of men neither by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead did affirme and certify to the Brethren before the Apostacy that the Gospel which was preached of him was not after man nor received of man neither was he taught it but by the revelation of Jesus Christ Gal. 1.1.11 12. he did not deny revelation as the false Prophets doe but said when it pleased God who called me by his grace to reveale his Son in me that I might preach him among the Heathen immediatly I conferred not with flesh and blood but went into Arabia c. Gal. 1.15 16 17. here this true Gospel Minister neither denyed revelation nor disowned the Son but witnessed that God had revealed him unto him and that within as aforesaid but the false Apostles and false Prophets deny both revelation and Christ to be within the true Apostle said he was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ which Gospel he affirmed and declared to be the power of God unto salvation unto every one that beleeveth and furthermore he hath affirmed that therein viz. the Gospel of Christ which is the power of God as aforesaid is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith Rom. 1.16 17. here againe the true Gospel-Minister before the Apostacy owned revelation and did not say it was ceased neither was he ashamed of that Gospel of Christ namely the power of God wherein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as aforesaid and the same Apostle before the Apostacy commanded that if any man yea or an Angel from Heaven preach any other Gospel than that which he with the rest had preached to let such beholden accursed Gal. ● 8 9. but since the apostacy the false Apostles or Ministers of Anti-Christ together with the false Prophets who deny revelation and say it s ceased they preach a contrary Gospel to that which the true Apostles preached where in the righteousness of God as aforesaid is from faith to faith revealed therefore the said false Apostles or Ministers of Anti-Christ together with the false Prophets are held accursed The true Gospel Minister in whom Christ was revealed in preaching to the Gentiles before the Apostacy where he speaks of the mystery which God would make known among the Gentiles he hath declared it to be Christ in them the hope of glory whom saith he we preach and teach c. Col. 1.27.28 did not the true Gospel Ministers in so preaching preach Christ within as aforesaid and doe not the false Prophets since the Apostacy deny such a doctrine The true Gospel Ministers before the Apostacy preached the Gospel with the holy Ghost sent down from Heaven 1 Pet. 1.12 but since the Apostacy the false Prophets seeks to exclude the office of the Holy Ghost and are highly offended at them now that preach the Gospel againe with the holy Ghost sent down from Heaven the true Gospel-Minister before the Apostacy was called and sent to turne people from the darkness to the light Acts 26.16 17 18. and so from the power of Satan to the power of God but in the Apostacy and enmity the false Christs and false Prophets are against the true light and thereunto opposite both endeavouring to keep all they can for owning the light and joyning to the same and they also labour by their wiles slights and cunning craftiness to seduce and as much as in them lyeth to turne people from the true light to the darkness againe and so from the power of God to the power of Satan but now they are known for the day is dawned and the day Star arisen in the hearts of many and the day declareth every mans works of what sort they are therefore as this is read with a right understanding let them that so read take notice who the false Christs and false Prophets are and of them hereafter be aware Concerning Revelation and the Spirit c. MOreover in the Primitive time before the Apostacy or coming of the false Christs and false Prophets that Christ said should come and Iohn saw were come as aforementioned the true Gospel-Ministers were so far from denying Revelations That they said No man knoweth the things of God but by the spirit of God which revealeth the deep things of God 1 Cor. 2.10 11. And they also declared and said that they had not received the Spirit of the world but the Spirit of God that they might know the things that were freely given them of God ver 12. and if no man know the things of God but by the Spirit of God which revealeth the deep things of God then to deny Revelations and say they are ceased Is not that to deny the office and work of the Spirit of God and say it is ceased and doe not they that say so plainly shew that they are false Prophets and false Apostles or Ministers of Anti-Christ and doe not such also deny the true Apostles Doctrine and shew that they are ignorant and without the true Spirit guiding them to speak and that they know not the things of the Spirit of God who deny Revelation the office and work of the Spirit to reveale and make known the things of God as aforesaid without which Spirit of God or a measure thereof no man can know the things of God as the true Apostles hath said The true Gospel-Minister before the Apostacy declared and said that if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his Rom. 8.9 but the false Prophets or Ministers of Anti-Christ since the Apostacy deny that any man should have the Spirit of Christ and they doe not onely declare

TRVTH EXALTED AND Deceit abased c. Concerning false Christs and false Prophets c. WHereas there was something said by the Preist of which about false Prophets c. and it is a generall outcry in the world amongst Teachers and Professors concerning false Christs and false Prophets that Christ said should come and deceive many and the cry is that they are but now come and that these are the last times of which Christ said they should come and say they now they are come according to the Prophecy of Christ and saying in the Scriptures where he hath foretold of them and said they should come as in Matthew the twenty seventh and twenty fourth Chapters To which it is answered as hereafter followeth in reference to the saying and Prophecy of Christ that speaks and foretells of the coming of the false Christs and the false Prophets as aforesaid It is answered that such as say they are but come now ●hey speak ignorantly and without understanding and they are ignorant of the Scriptures and the comming of them and their long reigne that so affirme who say they are but now come be they Preists Parsons Rectors Doctors Elders and Teachers or Professors of what sort so ever for as Christ told of false Prophets Mat. 7.15 So he also said that by their fruits they should be known ver 16.20 of the same Chapter And then said Christ unto his Disciples beware of false Prophets which come to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly are ravening Wolves for by their fruits ye shall know them it is to be observed that Christ spakes this unto his Disciples whilst he were personally present with them and that he bad his Disciples then to beware of the said false Prophets and also gave them a rule or marke by which they might know them as aforesaid and in Mat. ver 11. Christ prophesied or foretold that many false Prophets should arise and not onely so but also they should deceive many and saith Christ in Mat. 24.24 there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets c. in so much that if it were possible they should deceived the very elect but it is not possible that the elect should be deceived by them yet Christ hath told his Disciples Mat. 24. that false Christs and false Prophets should arise and deceive many and that they would deliver up the Saints or Disciples and followers of the true christ to be afflicted and that they should kill them c. then should iniquity abound and that prophecy of Christ ●ath been fullfilled in a great abundant measure on the false Prophets part together with such as have been seduced by them and many of the Saints and servants of Christ have by the means of the false Prophets been imprisoned killed hated and delivered up to be persecuted scourged and afflicted such hard measure hath and doth the Saints and servants of Christ mee● with by reason of the false Prophets and them that they have deceived Therefore the false Prophets do and have appeared in a deavouring or wolvish nature though they have been like wolves hid in sheeps clothing and covered with a pretence of godlinesse yet formerly they have appeared and still doe appear in a devouring ●a●ure more like unto Dogs and Wolves to rend and tear t●● Lambs and Sheep of Christ than good Shepheards to li●●● 〈…〉 serve or guide and feed the Flock of God 1 Pet 5.1 2 3. but with force and cruelty have the false Prophets against them appeared and have neither strengthned the Diseased nor healed that which was sick neither have they bound up that which was broken nor brought again that which was driven away neither have they sought that which was lost but with force and with cruelty have they ruled like such that the Lord is against who eat the fat and cloth them with the wool but feed not the flock but rather seek to persecute and kill them Ezek. 34.3 4. whereby the aforesaid prophecy of Christ is in a great and abundant measure fulfilled And again saith Christ Iesus our Lord in Mar. 13.22 false Christs and false Prophets shall arise to seduce if it were possible the very elect but saith he take ye heed behold I have foretold you ver 23. who was it that he foretold was it not his Disciples that he foretold as aforesaid yea and moreover Christ Iesus our Lord and Saviour declared and foretold of the coming of false Christs and falls Prophets as aforementioned and said he then this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled or done as may be read Mar. 13.30 did Christ Iesus say to his Disciples whilst he was personally present with them that false Prophets and as aforesaid should come and did he whilst personally present with his Disciples bid them beware of them and did he also affirme that the generation then present should not pass away till those things spoken of in Mat. 24. and Mar. 13 should be done amongst which things spoken of was the false Prophets rise and coming how is it then that Priests and Professors are so ignorant of the Scriptures and cry they are but now come what will ye be lyars of Christ of the Scriptures and of the Doctrine of the holy Apostles are ye resolved to seek to out-face and withstand them all be not so impudent and wicked hath not Christ said as aforementioned that false Christs and false Prophets should arise and come by whose means many should be deceived And did not Christ
