Queries Propounded.  
BUt being not ignorant that these assertors affirm the witnessese in conscience to be God, Christ light and Saviour, and as such teach obedience for Salvation; which witness being but a man's own Spirit, as to it that worm of conscience that never dyeth, I must against this doctrine testify that the witness in conscience in itself is neither God, nor Christ, nor breaker of the Serpent's head for as aforesaid the witness in the conscience being that worm in the heart that gnaws the conscience when its book is set open, as Solomon calls a wounded spirit that who can bear? is but the spirit in and of man that God in man hath placed as man is his creature, to bear witness for God and for itself; and being forewarned by God from his law placed in man's heart to keep him obedient thereunto, which he not obeying is left without excuse, it bearing record to the condemning Justice of God for original sin, and in that man will not receive the grace tendered by God through Jesus Christ, who is the way, and means that God of grace hath found out to save man, by believing on his name: is from the pride of his heart, and self-willed of spirit accounting it two low for his exalted heart; and thus from his pride put off from him so great grace that God hath offered to him by Christ, and thence despiseth his flesh, and trampled his blood under his foot, as not sufficient for him in it to trust not allowing him for Saviour; but [if anything] only an examples: And thence being turned from him, the way, by whom cometh eternal life, set up the creature all spirit in conscience for Christ, and his light.  
But in that you say, you own all that the Scriptures teach, I [hoping these misapprehensions may therefore be reduced to truth, am put upon the asserting this point, that the witness in the Conscience is not the Creator, but that, that the Creator hath made and putting confidence upon it for God and Christ, it being but a created spirit that God in man hath placed, sets up the works of his hands for God instead of himself; and consequently makes man to be God and Christ: not considering that God hath made nature but a substance for producing of his creatures by his word, by whom he created them in their multiplicities of distinctions; colours, and shapes, and having created man a ruler of his host, he as Sovereign Lord over him, establisheth a law, as his holy decree to him, not to aspire beyond the right of his make, upon penalty of incurring eternal death; which came to pass by transgression: but God seeing into what a deplorable state man had brought himself into, of grace promised to him, a restorer that should break the Serpent's head; who being Christ, that promised seed as born of the Virgin Mary, the anointed for a Saviour, is him, the Christ of God that he gave for a Saviour to the ends of the earth; who being him, God gave the power too open the book, and to break of the seals, he is he that brings man out of the prison house of nature, into his holy habitation of grace: and he being anointed for a Saviour from his receiving of the Spirit without measure, doth show in that he received, that Christ is man, and not the eternal father as God; for his receiving from gift proves the giver one thing, and him to whom it is given another: and he being the second Adam though Lord from heaven, as he is God, it as he is the son of man is that second Adam to restore man which the first Adam brought into the curse: he is humane as being made of woman that was of the lineage of David and in that capacity the taker away of sin, for saith the Scriptures, as sin by one man reigned over all and death by sin, so by one man) that is Christ) shall life reign over many; and as by one man all did die, so by one man shall all be made alive; and not as it was by one that sinned so is the gift, for the judgement was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offencies unto justification; he having bought us by his blood, which being blood of his body that was united to the Godhead, he, as he is thus united is God and man in that person; and therefore the blood he shed forth of his person for an atonement with God, being blood in this high conjunction, was not blood as man's is blood, but was the blood of God: from whence it is not unsufficient that it cannot atone, but hath with God attoned for man that in it hath faith; it being the blood of the Lamb of God that hath taken away the sins of the world, who suffered by Pontius Pilate, who hung him on a tree.  
From whence we query, for that you say, you own all that the scriptures preach of Christ, his Birth, Miracles, Sufferings, Death, Resurrection and Blood, with all the promises that relates to him.  
Whether you own Christ, God-man; in his Person to consist of nature divine and nature humane, and in that capacity to be the Christ, or the light in the conscience without the two natures in that person to be Christ and Saviour? explain, for saith the scriptures that as to his manhood he came of the stem of Jessey, and as to his godhead that he was the word made flesh.  
Whether the first promise that God made to Adam of the seed of the woman's breaking the serpent's head, was spoke to him of Christ that was to come as the son of Mary? or was it spoke of something within that Person to be the Christ without relation to that Person? explain.  
And since the Prophets depended on God for salvation by Christ that was to come, whether it was not Christ in his person they looked unto for the Saviour, and not the light in Christ without the person of Christ? explain, since they foretold of him as that wonder that God would bring to pass, that a woman should conceive with a manchild and bring him forth without the help of a man.  
And since as it doth appear by Abraham that this was their faith, by what Christ spoke of him, that seeing his day he rejoiced; and by Job that said, that he knew that his Redeemer lived, and that he should see him at the last day, whether if Christ be not Christ in person, what is become of the Patriarches and Prophets since for salvation on him they put their trust? explain.  
Since in his body as the scriptures say, he bore our sins, and carried our griefs, and was smitten for our transgressions, through whose stripes we are healed, for that God laid on him the iniquity of us all, whether he be to be believed for Christ in this his personal capacity according to the Scriptures, or that the light in the conscience (a measure of which every man hath that is born into the world) be he the Christ, of which nothing in the Scriptures? explain: for that the Scriptures say that by the death of the body upon the cross he reconciled us unto God, and that he foretold his death, and that he would raise it up from death in three days.  
Whether Christ as he is King, Priest and Prophet whom God hath made higher than the Heavens, be the Christ that appeared to his disciples after his resurrection from the dead in that body he bid them handle and see, saying, it is I myself, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as I have, or the light in your consciences is the Christ that God hath exalted higher than the Heavens as King, Priest, and Prophet? explain.  
And in that Christ was transfigured in his Apostles sight with the appearance of Moses and Elias on the Mount, whether was he transfigured as Christ in his person without them, or was it the light in his Apostles consciences within them explain, Since they said, Master it is good that we stay here, let us make three Tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias.  
And in that it is said concerning Christ's ascension, while he was speaking these things he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight; and this same Jesus shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into Heaven, whom the Heaven must receive until the time of restitution of all things, whether he thus ascended be not now Christ the glorified of the Father WITHOUT us, as well as he was Christ when he was upon earth WITHOUT them? explain.  
And in that he said, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and to your God, whether he spoke of himself as the Christ personal in ● body without them, or of a Christ you call light within you? explain ●or that the faith of his Disciples was on him as Christ without them, ●s their Doctrine by the Scriptures at large doth show.  
And if the light that was in his Apostles consciences was not Christ; but he their Master who taught them to believe on him to be 〈◊〉 the Christ, that believing they might be saved, whether you by affirming that the witness in you is Christ (which witness you call light) ●e not a Christ of your inventions, and ANOTHER CHRIST ●hen what is the Christ of God? explain.  
And in that it saith, he that hath not the spirit of Christ is none of his, and that none can receive the spirit, but he who beleiveth on Christ, who is the giver of the spirit, whether the spirit you walk by is the spirit of Christ or the power of Magic? explain, since you deny him to be the Christ that in his p●rson was the offering for sin, and the Saviour of the world, and instead of him set up the light of nature to be the Christ, and its power for your Saviour,  
Whether the revelation that was given to John, was given by Christ the glorified of the Father in his person in heaven, or from John's light in his conscience, John being on earth? explain.  
Whether the Lamb that sits upon the throne of the ancient of days, who was dead and is alive and lives for evermore be Christ, and giver of eternal life to them that believe and follow him in the regeneration, or the light in conscience, a measure whereof every man hath that cometh into the world, be Christ? explain; for that the light in every man's conscience is the light of creation; but the gift of God is the spirit of Christ that brings unto the travelling soul the light of Christ by revelation, according to the promise through believing on him.  
Whether the blood of Christ that attoned for man with God was blood, quatenus blood, from and off his humanity, or the life of Christ as Christ is God, is it (without the blood of his humanity) the attoner? explain; and if it be the life in Christ as Christ is God that atones, and the blood of Christ as Christ is man not that, that doth atone show how the life of God is blood, and unto what use it served, his shedding of the blood of his manhood?  
Whether the righteousness of Christ that Christ puts upon his Saints be not the righteousness of Faith by believing on him as justifier, from his perfect obedience to God, by his fulfilling the requirings of God in the Law? explain; for that it is written, blessed is the ●●rn whose sins are pardoned, and whose iniquities are covered; again blessed is the man to whom God imputeth not sin.   

Queries upon the fifth page.  
WHether since you say that God hath so loved the World that he hath given his only begotten Son to die for the World, that they ●●at believe on him should not perish but have everlasting Life, whether, ●hat Son of God be Christ that the Angels told the Shepherds was that ●ay born for a Saviour, whom they should find laid in a manger, who was wrapped up in swaddling , whose name God said should be called Jesus, or is the light in conscience that within you, he? explain.  
Whether he that was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, as he persona lie walked upon the Earth in substance of a Man be Christ, and the only begotten Son of God, and Man's Saviour is thus he was without them, or is the light in conscience the Christ and the Saviour as it is light in conscience within man? explain.  
Whether Christ or the Apostles at any time taught the light in man for the Christ and the Saviour, or Christ the man in person without them, for the Christ and Saviour? explain.  
Whether Christ that came into the World to save the World, who while he was in the World, was the light of the World, being gone out of the World unto his Father, be not now the light of the World by the ministration of preaching through the operation of his Spirit, as he was the light of the world when in the world by the ministration of preaching of his death, sufferings and resurrecition? explain: Since his being in the world was to work Salvation for the world by his death, and being gone out of the world now manifests the Salvation, which while being in the world he wrought being risen from the dead.  
Whether the Faith of Gods elect that purifieth the heart and giveth victory over the world, is not the hand that receiveth the power, by believing on Christ the giver of the grace to beget us unto God, childre● of the Kingdom, or is it by believing the witness in man, which yo● call the light in conscience which is but the spirit of man, that which Solomon calls the Candle of the Lord, that gives victory over the worl● in the heart? explain.  
Whether the Holy Ghost that proceeds from the Father, and th● Son, as proceeding from Father and Son be in the efflux both Father and Son? explain. Since you deny in print three subsistences in the one divine essence; and that they are not distinct in their operations as three, father, word, and spirit.  
Whether the water blood and spirit that bore witness to Christ o● earth, were properties of his humanity, or of his divinity? explain▪ And if of his divine native and not of his humane, what was it of Ghrist that cried upon the cross, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.  
Since the Scriptures say that it behoved the Christ to die, and it being impossible for God to die; whether the light in conscience which you call Christ, be the Christ that so died, or the person be the Christ that died? explain.  
Whether, since there is but one Gospel, is it the power of the light in conscience, according to your Doctrine, or is it the death, burial and resurrection of Christ according to the Scriptures, yea or nay! explain.  
Whether the price that bought man to God be the blood of Christ's person, since it was of the body God prepared to do his will, or was it the life of God in that body that was blood? explain: And if the life of the Godhead is blood, show us how it came to be blood, since without blood there is no remission.  
Whether the Lamb that purchased his Church by his own blood to present it without spot to God, was Jesus of whom the Prophet said, he was led as a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before the shearers, he opened not his mouth, Or the light in man is this Christ off whom the Prophet spoke? explain. For that of him in his personal appearance, John the Baptist said, behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the World.  
Whether the word without Mary's substance for his body is the whole Christ, or the word with the substance taken of Mary be the Christ? explain. For of Christ the Scripture speaks in two distinctions as of two natures in the acting, though one in conjunction in the act, as he is the word, God in Christ, and as man, Christ in whom God was as written god was in Christ reconciling, and Christ him by whom the world was reconciled to God, and the word being one with and in Christ, whether the whole Christ through the words assuming the humane Nature to his divine, be not God; the divine and humane nature making up the whole person of Christ? explain.  
And since it is written of the Son, thy Throne O God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy Kingdom, thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity, therefore God even thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows, whether this Son of God is he that took upon him in his person for man's redemption the state of a servant, accounting it no robbery to be equal with God and his fellow; or is it the light in conscience (you say is Christ) who is this exalted Man God's fellow, whose throne is for ever? explain.  
But for your asserting of many Scriptures that relate to Christ for the redemption of man, I know no professors that deny them, as they teach faith to him, the Son of God: But your bringing them to colour yourselves in your opinion of the light in you to be the Christ that I suppose they do deny, and bring them for a witness against you for your convincement: And I having this knowledge, see not wherein you are wronged in being charged to deny God and Christ in a place above stars, Sun, Moon and Elements, since what is said by you to the contrary speaks not of place but power, and your saying you own his ascension, and yet denied his personal body to be ascended, puts me upon this Quaery.  
Whether you own Christ as a person ascended up into a Heaven, that is, a place of residence whereinto he is ascended far above stars, Sun, Moon and Elements? explain.  
From the 5 page to the 8 I pass over, being but the same spoke to before: But that you say in the 8 page Christ is the true light that enleightneth every man that comes into the world, you err not, knowing the Scriptures; for they say not that Christ made all things; for that as Christ is man, he is made, but as the manhood is united to the word who is God, and that the two natures in Christ are not to be divided, so it may be said that he made them by his head, and the head of Christ is God: For we find not where in Scripture that it is said, of Christ as he is Man of the Virgin Mary, that in him was the life that inlightneth every Man, but in reference to the word that dwelled bodily in him.  
From whence we query, whether this Christ of whom John said was the Christ, be he, or the light in Man the Christ that G. F. saith is the Christ? explain: and if the Christ that G. F. saith is the Christ be he, I desire to know of G. F, or his Disciples what is become of the Christ whom the Scriptures bears record to be he, Since you deny him in heaven the exalted of God, for his Christ in a person.  
Whether, since you say it is the light that enlighteneth every Man that comes into the world, and the light is Christ, by this assertion is not the light God, and God the Christ? explain.  
And if the light be God, and God is Christ, and not the person the Christ, then, when Christ died was it not God that died, and him that was nailed upon the Cross? explain. Since it is written of him that is the Saviour, that by death he destroyed him that had the power of death; to wit, the Devil. And if it was God that died, and buried as dead, who or what was there in Heaven or in Earth that did or could raze up God from the dead? explain.  
And your saying that with the light they saw the blood of Christ: I say they did: For he whose Testimony is true was by when the Lord was put to death, who saith, That which we have seen with our eyes and looked upon, and handled with our hands, and have heard from the beginning declare we unto you, that your fellowship may be with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and the Son in the light: Therefore whether by the light in Man doth Man come to see Christ and his blood in himself, that Christ shed for cleansing from all sin, or by Faith, see the merit of the blood shed upon the Cross, to the receiving the promise to wit, the Spirit that cleanseth the conscience from all sin?  
Whether Christ is the true light as he is the Son of God personally come in flesh without man, or the light in the conscience be the true light and Saviour that is in Man? explain.  
Whether since we are to wait upon Christ for the receiving of his Spirit, is Man to wait upon the light in his conscience as his Christ and giver of the Spirit or upon Christ who is without him as the Christ and sender of the true Spirit? explain.  
Whether Peter's witness in his conscience, who confessed to Christ to be the Son of God, who had the words of Eternal Life, was not as much God and Christ as the witness in you? explain.  
Whether Peter trusted in the witness in his conscience for his Saviour, or expected Salvation by it, and not in Christ, that said unto him, when thou art converted strengthen the brothers? explain.  
Whether Cornelius that feared God, and walked righteously before him, in Prayers, Fast, and giving of Alms, from an awakened conscience that stood in subjection to God, had Salvation from the light in his conscience, or from Christ the Son of God, whom Peter preached to him for Saviour without him? explain.  
Whether Cornelius did believe the witness in his conscience to be God and Christ. and to this witness as God or Christ Fasted, Prayed and gave Alms, that by his works his witness as God or Christ should save him, or did he believe on God who hath made the Heavens and the Earth, whose dwelling is in that high and lofty place of Eternity? explain.  
And being said, Zacheus, this day is Salvation come to thy house, whether it was Christ that brought Salvation, who that day came to him, he being the Saviour that gives Salvation, or Zacheus light in his conscience that that day brought Salvation unto h● explain.  
Whether the witness or light in Paul's conscience that lead h● to persecute the church of Christ, from his zeal he had to Go● being instructed in Moses Law, was God, Christ, or Saviour, Christ, even Jesus of Nazareth who spoke to him in a bright shini● light out of Heaven, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? explain.  
Since it is said Christ in you the hope of Glory, whether Chri●● be in Man before he is revealed by God in Man? explain? For is written that the Spirit of Christ the World cannot receiv● because said he they do not believe on me.  
And Christ being revealed in Man, whether it means himself i● person, or his Spirit who give the knowledge of God in the Fac● of Christ, by bringing in the light of Christ in which he is gloryf●ed into tho heart, that fills the heart with exceeding joy in believing? explain, Since that Paul saith, While in the body absent fre●● the Lord, and thence desires to go hence to be present with the Lord.  
And in that the body must be put off, for that it hinders the inward Man in its being with the Lord; Quaery, what is this inward man? Is it a creature or is it God? Is it the Spirit of Man that God said he would not always contend with, for if he should i● would fail before him, and the Soul that God hath made: or is it Christ? explain. And the inward man of the heart being absent from Christ the Lord whilst it is in this body, whether Christ as he is in his own being be not distinct and apart of himself without and separate from his creatures, and the Man in heart distinct and apart as a creature, and own self subsistence? explain.  
Whether the ownness of Christ and his Saints be such an incorporated unity, that from their conjunction with him they are o● Christ without seperability? or whether the Union of the Saints 〈◊〉 God and Christ be the heavenly enjoyment, wherein the is fellowship with God and Christ in the light? explain.  
Since in divine writ it is said of God, I the Lord create the darkness, 〈◊〉 form the light, whether the light that God form is not natural? 〈◊〉 since it is also said, if the light in you be darkness, how great is that edness; which light in man being his sight, is it of any other quality 〈◊〉 the light of nature which God hath form? explain.  
And the light in man being but a form light that God hath created, ●hether this light be Christ the son of God, as the word that was ●od, that with the creature is become the Christ and man's Saviour? ●●plain.  
And since of man it is written that he is the Image of God, whether he 〈◊〉 the Image of God, as God is God in his Deity, or is the Image of ●od in a creatural form from God's principles of nature? explain.  
And if man be the Image of God in his Deity, as God is God, who out and beyond all nature and creature, how is it possible otherwise be, but so many men so many Gods? explain: and if this could in ●y possibility be admitted, then is not the omnipotency in the crea●re as a God? and if so how is it possible for him to be condemned?  
And since the light and darkness is the creation of god, and but his ●eation, it is manifest the creation is not he himself; and the creature ●ing a substance created out of nature, having in him darkness and ●ght, whether the creature in his create be as a creature any thing more, ●t a creature consisting of a natural make? explain.  
And since the Body returns to dust, and the Spirit to God, that gave 〈◊〉 what is the nature of that body, and its properties, and what is the ●ature of the Spirit, and the properties of it, in that it goeth to God, ●at gave it at the breaking of the body, since it never dyeth but abideth ●ever? explain.  
And since you say that the soul of Man is not a creature; and that th● soul is saved or damned, and that the soul is of an Eternal subsistency whether if the soul is no creature, is it God, and if God doth he sav● part of himself in some men, and part of himself in others damn? explain.  
For the rest of your Paper, I pass it over, acknowledging that these principles for yours have been published to the World before now to wit. 1. That the light of or in conscience (a measure whereof every man hath that comes into the world) is Christ the Justifier, th● advocate, the mediator, the Redeemer and the Saviour. 2 That th● sufferings death, resurrection and ascension of Christ, and his blood i● but the professors stuff. 3. That Christ was not Christ in his person but that which was Christ was something that was in his person 4. That Christ died not for satisfaction but for example. 5. Tha● the mercy of God without any satisfaction by Christ, made to God fo● man doth save the creature, as the creature is obedient unto the light in his conscience. 6. That the Father, Word Spirit, are not thre● distinct operators in the Divine essence. 7. That the blood of Chris● doth not at one for man with God, and that his body is not ascended into heaven: These I acknowledge arr published for your principle to the world before now.  
And in that you packed up together so many Scriptures, as if yo● believed Christ and salvation by him, as they bear record to him; knowing you dance as in a Net; concern myself to direct these Quaries unto you for explanation, that the truth which is pure in itself may not be vailed through false glosses; and you returning a Christian like answer to what is here presented in truth and simplicity, without Serpentime twinings and false glosses, will give us hope that at length, 〈◊〉 you believe the scriptures that you have so largely in show brought you may come to sit down with the children of Christ in the Faith tha● leads up unto Eternal Life, which if it may appear, I shall hope you insides may come to be much better known, than they are now, being through Faith washed in the blood of the Lamb, whatever your outside ●e.  
And you, my old Acquaintance, to you I writ as one from God that have found mercy, from believing and depending upon his Name by Jesus Christ, who is the glass, that you may see his glory in him being ●is glass, in whose Face the glory of the Father only can be seen; and ●●owing that your inward Man of your hearts is in bondage by the ●onds of darkness in your inward deeps; and that those bonds cannot ●e broken by any but by Christ that hath the key to open the book and ●o break off the Seals, I do pray that the eyes of your minds may be enlightened to look up to him by that engrafted word of Faith, which ●akes of him (as the hand (his Spirit to unlock the shut up gates of our hearts, that the King of Glory may come in; which hitherto being locked up, the Prisoner of hope cannot come forth; although it has the promise from the covenant that God hath made to Christ, that by his blood ●e will send it forth out of the deep Pit wherein there is no waters.  
And therefore I say to you that the Principle upon which you bottom, being not Christ, but light of and in Nature, is nor that that can ●eliver your Souls out of the Jaws of Death, and bring you into the ●and of rest, for worm Jacob, the hid n man in the heart obtaineth ●ot unto God's salvation, although for it is ordained from ●he purchasement of our Lord Jesus Christ, till that the bright ●eams of the Lord, the Christ shines into the heart, from the Lamb ●hat sits with God upon the Throne; for the goodly Tents of Jacob is a habitation of light in the Lord; and Christ the Lord, who is his light when he appears brings the light for his rest, the streams whereof make ●lad the City of my God, which light of Christ being from above, ●s the supernatural light, whose issuing beams no man knows, nor can ●now but the elect of God to whom it is given through the Faith that 〈◊〉 in him.  
And my old Friends; I would that I might freely speak to you without offence, then would I say that the light that is in you as you are creatures by make from the first Adam is not the light of which I speak that is his habitation for his Saints: For he that said, I am the light, and he that believes on me shall not walk in darkness but I will raise them up at the last day, is Christ Jesus who was put to death in the flesh, b● justified in the Spirit, that he may give light and life, to all them th● believe on him, and in Faith obey to the receiving of the promise, b● of the light of and in man he saith, if the light in you be darkness how gre● is that darkness, but of the light that proceeds from the Sun, thus he spea● the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not; whi●● being the light that doth accompany the gospel is the salvation of the Saint that the gospel hath purchased for them, of which he said, ear hath not hear nor eye hath not seen what the father hath prepared for them that love him Which being the light of the Gospel far excels the light in Natu● which God as Sovereign Lord hath planted in man's heart for ma● guide to lead him out of himself to Christ the second Adam by who● the entering in is into the rest that God hath prepared for them befog the World was made.  
And my old friends, I would that none of you fall short of entering into his rest by unbelief through the zeal you bear to your Preacher that teach you an entrance by work of obedience to the light of Natu● in you, for verily such Preachers preach to you voluntary humil● that they may glory in your flesh: Wherefore it doth remain to y● to walk in the way that is appointed that leads up into his rest! least any mistakes by witchcraft in Spirit you take the way of your own invention, and fall short of entering into his rest: For that it is certes that by no other way under Heaven we can enter into this rest; b● by Faith in him who is both Lord and Christ: For him hath God s●ed; Wherefore look ye up unto him who is arisen from the dead, a is ascended into the majesty on high, where the principalities a● powers and thrones fall down and worship the ancient of days, and Lamb that sits upon his throne, For Christ of whom we speak hath 〈◊〉 off the Grave, and is arisen from the T●mbs in which he was laid; Christ of whom you speak (the light in you) it is in the Grave, and Grave-cloaths wraps it up in the deeps of your heart, from ●here cannot come forth but by him, who is the Resurrection of the deed, wh● voice being heard within your hearts; your dead hearing the voice the Son of God comes forth and lives: and without his voice 〈◊〉 you up, you die eternally, whatever you say from your believing in ●itness of your consciences for your Saviour? For here it is not of ●n thrt willeth nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth a mercy. ●ake heed that no man deceive you? For the Spirit foreseeing what ●ould be in the latter days, foretold a departure from the Faith, and at men should rise up bringing in most o amnable Errors, denying the ●rd that bought them; and many should follow their pernicious ways, of ●em the way of truth should be evil spoken off. For verily he that entereth ●to his rest must come in by Christ, the door, without which there is no ●●p: But you rejecting him and taking to yourselves another way ●nnot enter in into his rest, although the gates stand open.  
And you that say you have the power to do wonderful things, and prophesy in his Name, are not you they of whom he speaks, that when the Son of man, shall sit upon his Throne, and all his Angels with him that shall come and say; Lord, Lord, open unto us? To whom he shall answer, Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I know you not, who hath required these things at your hands, for did you do the things you did at all ●●to me.  
Therefore unto you, my old acquaintance writ I this, that you may escape the errors of percition lest in you be found an evil heart of unbelief: departing from the living God, and so you fall short of that rest that God hath prepared for those that love the Lord Jesus, and believe that God and our Father hath sent him, the love of his bosom to be the saviour of the World.  
Brethren, the grace of God the Father, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, keep your hearts by the holy Ghost by, saith unto the end; that so the Crown of ever lasting life you may not fall shor● off through unbelief; for what shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World and lose his own soul, search the Scriptures, they teach of him; compare your opinions with their Doctrine believe their authority; for they are faithful witnesses unto his Name. Be faithful to him that hath called you to the gospel of his dear son, by whom is the gift of Eternal Life. Peace be unto all men from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, Is the prayer of him who wisheth your tranquillity in God, known by the name off

And before I close this Paper, I cannot but give a hint of this most hideous impious blaphemy that is started up from those Monsters of conceit, who declare themselves the two witnesse● spoken off in the Revelations; and that they are the two prophets, who have received commission to damn and to save whom they will, and do exercise their pretended commission upon them by Magic, cursing them that will not receive them as they give themselves out to be And that they are the last ministration and dispensation that shall come: Who being poisoned in their understandings from a corrupted heart do not stick blasphemously to affirm that when the Lord Jesus Christ died for the sins of the World, that the total God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ died also; And that when he took his Journey unto the Earth, he left the government of heaven to Moses and Elias.  
But in that of God it is said, I the Lord change not, therefore O you sons of Jacob you are not; consumed: Therefore I present to these profane men these Queries, to wit. 1. Whether if the Almighty God who hath made the Heavens and the Barrh, and upholdeth all things by his power, did die, what was therein the heavens or the earth that could uphold the works of his hands; And if that he did die, who or what could raise him up from the dead. 1. If the total God that is eternal died, was not the infinite become finite. 3. If it had been possible for God to die, and that he did die, we● not he that was, and is, and is to come, who it the Alpha and Omega, and the beginning and the ending, extinct. 4. If that he died and is raised from the dead, was not that that raised up from the death greater than he. 5. If death prevailed over him, and that by death he was dead was not death greater than God. 6. If death laid some hold upon him, that by its power his life was at an end, what could have broken death asunder for the redemption of Man.  
But Christ having foretold that in the latter days false Prophets, and false Christ's should come, which prophesy of Christ we see accomplished this day, Therefore I leave these blasphemous magic Prophets, unto their own pit entombed in Satan's darkness.
