Aynsloe Luke 9.1 2. He called his Twelve Disciples together and gave them Power and Authority over all Devils and he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God c. But of the False Prophets its said Jer. 23.21 I have not sent these Prophets yet they Run I have not spoken to them yet they Prophesied Printed in the Year 1672. AN EPISTLE TO THE READER FRIEND LEt it not seem a strange thing to thee nor a small thing in thine Eye that God hath appeared in these latter dayes in his large Loving-kindness unto the Sons of Men to discover again that which hath been hid from Ages and Generations past by reason of the long and dark Night of Apostacy which did cover all as a Vail over the Heart since the Apostles dayes in which the true Church hath been in the Wilderness and the true Ministers not known and the false Church and false Ministers got up in their place and Antichrist hath been worshipped and the Beast and false Prophet born rule and all that time the Lord was as a Stranger in the Earth and his Appearance by his Light and Spirit was known but to a very Few so that it was taken for granted by most people That Revelation was Ceased and that no other Knowledge of God was to be looked for then from the Scriptures being Ignorant of him of whom the Scriptures testified Christ Jesus the true Light that lighteth every man that comes into the world that all through the Light might believe This Key of Knowledge being vailed from the people and Humane Learning and Tradition instead thereof hath been admired and followed by the most of people in the Night of Apostacy as the Only Way to the Knowledge of God which is the Cause why people are so ignorant of God and Spiritual Worship Crying up Lifeless Forms for Religion and the Inventions and Traditions of Men for True Worship withstanding as much as in them lies the Powerful Appearance of the Lord in this the Day of his Power wherein he hath appeared to bring every thing into its right course again and hath raised up by his Power Ministers and Witnesses again as in the Apostles dayes induing them with Power from on High That they may be Instruments in his Hand to turn many from Darkness to his Blessed Light that shines in the Heart to give the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ And many are gathered unto the Lord and into the Worship of the Spirit and are taught of God and bear their Testimony to the Truth as it is in Jesus and God is still adding to the Number of his Chosen People notwithstanding all Opposition that the Excellency of the Power by which he carrieth on his Work may be seen to be of God and not of Man to him only be the Glory and Honour forevermore J. A. A Short Description of the True Ministers and the False how they differ in their Call Ministry Doctrine and Fruits that any who are desirous may know the one from the other c. TRue Ministers are called of God as the Apostles were and God hath committed to them now the Word of Reconciliation as the Apostles had and they are now sent of God To preach Glad-tidings to the Poor and Peace and Good-will unto men To Proclaim the Day of the Lord to all that sit in Darkness and under the shadow of Death Preaching to the Spirits in Prison that the Prison-Doors may be opened and the Prisoner of Hope come forth out of the Prison-House that the Clouds of Darkness may fall of and the Bonds of Iniquity may be broken that many may be turned from Darkness to Light from Satan's power to God And freely they have received and freely they minister coveting no man's Silver or Gold nor Apparrel no more then the Apostles did And they preach Christ Jesus not themselves but the same Jesus that was Crucified without the Gates of Jerusalem that Rose again the Third Day and Ascended up into Glory and is at the Right-Hand of God far above all Principalities and Powers according as the Scriptures declare And they preach him as they have received him for they did not know him by the reading of the Scriptures no more then Paul did by reading of the Law but as he is revealed in them And their Eyes do see and their Ears do hear and their Hands do handle the Good Word of God which they declare unto others And God hath given them a Good Understanding that they know him that is True even Jesus Christ whom God hath sent And they have not laboured in vain as those who have beat the Air but have been Instruments in God's Hands to turn many from the Evil of their Wayes to walk in the Light of the Lord and are brought to know and dwell in that City even the New Jerusalem which is from above that has no need of the light of the Sun by Day nor of the Moon by Night but the Lamb is the Light thereof And the true Ministers need no Humane Authority to Authorize their Ministry for they have a Witness in every man's Conscience Neither are their Mouthes stopped with the Commands of men neither are they afraid to appear for God in their publick Testimony in preaching the Everlasting Gospel though Laws of great Penalties be made against them but rather are made willing to adventure all whatever is dear and near unto them in this World then to incur the Displeasure of their Lord and Master Jesus Christ or to bring the Blood of any upon them for they Labour Night and Day with the Lord in the Travel of their Spirits that they may be clear of the Blood of all men going from Country to Country as they are moved with their lives in their hands that they may preach the Everlasting Gospel to all that dwell upon the Earth The False Ministers are such as are brought up at Vniversities and are Seven Years studying Philosophy c. and are made Masters of their Arts and from Humane Learning is their Ministry and for their Gain is their Call and are only sent of Man being Ordained by Man and then have Licence to preach They are onely Ministers of Traditions and their own Conceptions on the Letter not of the
