world for the clearing of the truth and wiping away the reproaches which lyes upon it and taking away the stumbling blocks And we do likewise testifie to all the world and do see it in the eternal light which comes from Jesus Christ the true Prophet which Moses writ of who said A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up like unto me him shall you hear which we witness to be come and made manifest in us Therefore do we know and see and to all the world declare that all the false Prophets that ever prophesied falsly who prophesies for Baal whose minds have turned and erred from the light as ours was when we looked out from the light which never changes Therefore do we declare and witness to all the world That all the false Prophets that ever was and ever shall be is of that Generation and of that nature and one with the Priests of England and all the Priesthood which is in the world which is changeable and erred from the light which is eternall and unchangeable which comes from Jesus Christ the unchangeable Priest and end of the Prophets and this we know and witness in our measure whereby we see the deceit they all live in glory and praises be to the Living God for evermore Iames Millner Elizabeth Millner To all you who yet know not the true Ministers of Jesus Christ from the false Teachers of the world 1.

Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is content with the Gospel wayes food and rayment or he that will have the tenth of mens estates or a great summe of money yearly for his pains judge ye 3.

Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is despised hated and persecuted of the world or he who is set up by the world called Master loved of the world given to pleasures and who lives in idlenesse devouring the Creation upon his lust judge ye 5. Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that speaks the Word of God in power from the mouth of the Lord and no more but what he can and dare witnesse to have received from the Lord or he who onely trades with the letter and sells it for Money speaking of the Saints Conditions and knowing nothing of it in himself who onely lives in the form without the power of God judge ye Friends HEre you have a clear distinction betwixtt he Ministers of Christ and the Ministers of the world who are set up by man which Jesus Christ cryes Woe against therefore hold not them up any longer Lay not out your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfieth not but Hearken diligently unto me that your soules may live For he hath promised to teach all his himself And he is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart If you hearken to the true Light of God in your Consciences it will teach you to deny all ungodlinesse and to live soberly justly and righteously in this present evil world Looking up unto Iesus who is the author and finisher of your faith Dear Friends I know both these sorts of men by experience and therefore I do utterly deny the one as false Teachers their fruits every way shews it and the other I do witness to be the Ministers of Jesus Christ and to preach the Gospel and the Crosse of Christ which is foolishnesse to them that perish but unto us that are saved it is the power of God Consider of all the false prophets in the time of the true Prophets and you shall find them to be of the same Generation now as was then Read and consider of these places I have given you in the Margent for it is the love to your Soules I have freely given you this as I freely received it from the Lord Herein I have discharged my self and you will be left without excuse when the Lord comes to plead with you I am your servant in the Lord in a weak measure T. A. To the Heads and Governours of this Nation who have put forth a Declaration for the keeping of a day of solemn fasting and Humiliation for the persecution as they say on the poor Inhabitants in the Valley of Lucerna Angrona and others professing the reformed Religion which hath been transmitted unto them from their Ancestors Answ. PRofessing their reformed Religion may be transmitted to Generatiōs so holden by the tradition in that where the profession and tradition is holden in that is the dayes of humiliation kept which stands in the will of man which is not the fast which the Lord requires to hold down the head like a Bul-rush for a day and the day following be in the same condition as you were the day before To the light of Christ Jesus in your Consciences do I speak which testifies for God every day and witnesseth against all sin and persecution which measure of God if you beguided by it doth not limit God to a day but leads to the fast which the Lord requires which is to loose the bonds of wickedness to undoe the heavy burthens and to let the oppressed go free and to break every yoak Isa. 58.6 this is the Fast the Lord requires and this stands not in the transmission of times nor in the tradition of men but this was before time was Mark 7.7 8 9 13. Col. 2.8.15 Mat. 3.9 and this leads out of time and this shall be when time shall be no more And those that teach for Doctrine the Commandements of men are they which ever persecuted the life and power when it came And a Decree or Edict as you call it proceeds from the ground of the Popes Religion and Supremacy and there stands his tyranny and cruelty acted in that will which is in that nature which exerciseth Lordship over another as you may read Mark 10.42 Luke 22.25 as all the Heathen do and ever did and in the heathenish nature is all the tyrany and persecution exercised who are out of the obedience of the light of Christ Jesus in the Conscience which is the guider and leader of all who are tender of that of God in the Consciences and who is not led by this knoweth not what it is to suffer for Conscience sake And whereas you take it into your consideration the sad persecution tyrany and cruelty exercised upon them whom you call your Brethren Protestants and therein do contribute and administer to their wants outwardly this is good in its place

killed which drawes from the light or those who witness Christ Jesus which is the light which saith many false Prophet shall arise which shall deceive many and try if they be not them which saith Loe here is Christ and loe there But Christs Command is believe them not for there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible they would deceive the very Elect. But the Elect who dwells in the light which comes from Jesus they cannot deceive in it they are seen and known and tryed and made manifest to be the deceivers to be the false Prophets and Antichrists And with the light which comes from Jesus they are condemned with the world and turned from with all the Children of light therefore poor people who are out of the light you they do deceive but those whose minds are turned to the light and abides in the light they cannot deceive And Christ Jesus saith woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you for so did their Fathers to the false Prophets Now try them by the Scripture and see whether this woe be not upon them and whether they be not of the false Prophets And Peter saith in 2 Pet. 2. But there were false Prophets among the people Now try them by that Chapter and see whether they be not these false Prophets which denies the light which comes from Christ Jesus their Lord that bought them And through Covetousness shall they through fained words make Merchandize of you Let that in your Consciences now try and search them by this Scripture The same Apostle in the Chapter before saith We have also a more sure Word of Prophesie whereunto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place untill the day dawn and the day-star arise in your hearts Knowing this first that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any private Interpretation For the prophecie came not in the time of old by the will of man but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost Now see whether Peter and these that draw to the Light be the false Prophets or them that denyes the Light and hates it Read 2 Tim. 3. and try them by that Scripture and see if they be not them that the Apostle speaks on there having a form of Godlinesse but denying the power and he saith from such turn away And see if they be not of this sort which creeps into houses and calls them Churches when as the Apostle saith the Church is in God and leads Captive silly women laden with divers lusts Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth Now see and try your Teachers by these Scriptures and see what you have learned of them all your dayes that you have followed them what you can witnesse of God or of Christ made manifest Nay that in your Consciences will confess that you do not know this outward Scripture which makes them manifest to be the false Prophets Deceivers who drawes from the light which gave forth the Scriptures even in the knowledge of the outward letter you are blinded by them Read 2 Pet. 3.3 and see if ye and they be not found those scoffers walking after your own lust saying Where is the promise of his coming And read Jude and try them see whether they be not found there under the Woe that he speaks on whether they run not greedily for rewards so perish in the Gainsaying of Core And let that in your Consciences which is of God which respects no mans person read and examine those Scriptures and try them and see whether they be not erred from the Light so drawes others from the Light which is and ever was the Saints Teacher and ever shall be from which all the holy men of God ever spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost And from which Light all these Scriptures were given forth which these Deceivers takes in their mouthes and drawes people from the Light which gave forth the Scriptures and so betrayes their soules Therefore all people to the light in your Consciences which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withall turn within keep to it and go not forth not look not outward and it will let you see the deceivers and betrayers of your soules And if ye be faithful and obedient to it it will let you see your Saviour False Prophets is in the world and Antichrists is in the world and the Deceivers is of the world and those that doth not confess Christ Jesus come in the flesh is of the world But those that dwell in the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened them withall this leads out of the world out of the worlds wayes fashions and Customs and this makes a separation from the world and this leads up to God And this Light is the Condemnation of the world and the condemnation of all the deceivers false prophets and Antichrists which are in the world And who is faithful and obedient to the light witnesses Christ made manifest and come in the flesh and these are no Antichrists And these are they that go forth to bear witness against the false Prophets and Antichrists which are in the world and these are they that are stockt and beat and Imprisoned and persecuted by those which are of the first nature which is Cain who slew his brother and this is of the world And by this Generation all that will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution and it is our joy and rejoycing not only to believe on his Name but also to suffer for his sake All poor people who are in the dark world blind led with the blind beware and look where you are lest you both fall into the ditch and try your Leaders by the Scripture who is pleading for sin and transgression and telling you that ye shall not be free from sin nor perfect while you are upon earth Now is that fulfilled which the Apostle speaks on in 2 Tim. 3. And the perillous times are come and woe unto you if you do not hearken to the warning of the Lord God who calls unto you for Repentance and to return to the Light of Christ in your Consciences and to return from that sort which the Apostle speaks on having a form of godlinesse denying the power of this sort are your Teachers which are to be turned away from which creeps into houses and leads silly women captive and so keeps you ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth And tells you none can be perfect while they are upon earth And so they plead for sin and against Christ Jesus and the Apostles and Prophets and all the holy men of God For Christ saith Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect Matth. 5.48 And again Christ said to the young man which asked him what
