This is Written in PLAINNESS OF HEART, and Bowels of Everlasting love to my PERSECUTORS, WHO HAVE Shot Sore at me, and hated me without a cause.  
Both Magistrates, Priests and People in Stafford Sheir, or elsewhere, that ye all may be turned from the Darkness to the Light, and from Antichrist without, unto Christ within, who is the Light of the World, and hath lighted every man therein with his saving Light.  
Some Queres also, for such who call themselves Ministers of Christ, but are altogether unlike him, or his Ministers to Answer.  
Together with a Warning from the Lord God of Life and Power to Repent, and leave Persecuting, and striving against, or kicking against the Lord.  
Written from one who have been in the Pit, Death, Grave, and Hell; But am come from Far, and am sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the Heavenly places with them that are in Christ, but unknown to you, I am: But by the Name I received amongst you, HUMPHREY WOLLRICH.  2 Cor. 3.6. 
God hath made us able Ministers or the New Testament, not of the Letter, which kills, but of the Spirit which gives Life.

COme all ye Magistrates, Rulers and Officers in Stafford, which are sworn to do Justice, and ex●e●●e Judgement, and lay the sword upon the neck of the Wicked, and to be a terror to Evil doers, and a strength and a praise to them that do Well. Come all to the Light, wherewith Christ, who is the True Light, hath enlightened you with 〈◊〉, and so you shall see the Evil doer, deceiver and seducer, which 〈…〉 to sin, iniquity, and trangression, nearer you than you were ware; even he which reigns and rules in Stafford, and leads the Inhabitants thereof into Swaring, Lying, and Drunkenness: so that your being Christians is only in words, ye being dead in your trespasses and sins, and the God of the World having blinded the eye by which the Lord hath said he will guide, and lead his people into all Truth, out of all iniquity, transgression, and sin, which the Inhabitants of Stafford abounds withal, and yet have covered themselves with a Profession, and have got the Prophet's words, and Christ's words, but are inwardly ravened, and cast the Law of the Lord behind them, which is Light, and have rejected the Word of the Lord, which is nigh them in their hearts, Rom. 10.8. And this is the Word that opens the blind Eye, and is immortal and unchangeable, and is like a fire, and like a hammer. Sink down and ye shall feel it so, and this is it which was before the Bible was, which your false Teacher tells you is the Word of the Lord, and opens the blind Eye; and this is the Word which was before the World was, whom the Jews, which had the Words, Slew, and Crucified; and this is false Doctrine: for David prayed the Lord that he would open his eyes, Psalm. 119.18. and Psal. 146.8. The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind, the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down, and looseth the bonds of the prisoner, Isaiah. 42.6, 7. where you may read, That it is only the work of Christ, to open the blind Eyes, and to bring out the Prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in Darkness out of the Prison house: And this is he which commands the Consciences of men which love him, and the Condemnation of all that hate him, and rebel against him, and not the Bible as your blind Guide tells you. And why will you be so blind as to look upon me as an evil Doer, who was moved of the Lord to question this Doctrine, that poor ignorant people, who are in their sins might be deceived no longer; and the Lord God Almighty is my witness, and the testimony of the Lord stands sure and shall witness for me in you all, that I do not this wickedly or maliciously, nor in stubbornness either against Magistrate or Minister, but in obedience to the Lord, and that people which lie in darkness might be turned to the light, from the power of Satan unto God? and why will you call this delusion, or a deluding Spirit, that causeth Drunkards to leave off their drunkenness, and become sober and temperate, and Swarers to leave their swaring, and Liars to speak the truth; and in the power of the Lord God, I warn you all to consider what is my transgression or sin amongst you, for which I have been imprisoned eight or nine times in Stafford? Which of you have I caused, that was sober, to become a drunkard? or what Countenancers have I been of liars, swearers, and mockers there amongst you? I say, Is it for any of these things for which I have been so often imprisoned? or have I not suffered for bearing a testimony against these things which Stafford doth abound with, notwithstanding all their Profession? And is not your Markets, which I have been moved of the Lord to speak in, and to cry out against these things, yet abounding with Swearers and Drunkards, which go reeling up and down the streets unpunished? neither are they looked upon is deceivers, or deceived; neither are they counted a disturbance, or troublers of your Israel. And how doth your Steeple-houses abound, and your Church made up of such as these, which profess Christ in words, but have lost the Life, and are altogether unlike Christ, or Christians, and to every good word, and work, are reprobates? and by such as these are we persecuted, and abused, who have lost both form and power of godliness, and are enemies to the life of Christ, which they in words profess; therefore the Lord God Almighty hath raised up many witness, and in his Life and Spirit; and by the Power of the Lord are they led to bare a testimony against all your false Teachers which are run, and God never sent them; and have cried, the Lord saith it unto you, when the Lord hath not spoken to them, but are thiefs and robbers, and are climbed up another way than by Christ, the Door: and so are become thiefs and robbers, and have stolen Christ's words, and the Apostles words, and are condemning the Jews for Crucifying Christ, but themselves are Crucifying him again, and imprisoning, persecuting, and stoning them in whom he is made manifest and so are you like the Jews, and your Priests have no other weapons, nor no other sword to cut down Heretics withal, but prisons, clubs, and staffs, which are Carnal, as the High Priests weapons were, and not Spiritual, as Paul's was: and the Jews which had the Prophet's words, and thought to have Eternal Life therein, were Condemning their Fathers for killing the Prophets; but they would not come to Christ, who the Light of the World, that they might have Life, who was the end of all the Prophets, and the life of all the Prophets, him they Crucified as a Deceiver and Blasphemer, and prince of Devils: Therefore in the fear of the Lord God, I warn you all. Take heed what you do, or how you resist, and withstand the work of the Lord, which is a marvellous work, and a wonder; and is begun among you, though you have not an Ear to hear, nor an Eye to see, (who are gone from the Light of the Lord in you) nor an Heart to understand unto this day. But why do the Heathens rage, and the People imagine a vain thing; and have said in their hearts, this man shall not reign over them, whose right it is to reign?  
But in vain do you strive against your Maker, or against his Servant whom he sends, who hath sought nothing but your Soul's welfare, and that you might come to know your Souls Shepherd, and be gathered into the one sheep-fold, from all false Shepherds, which have lived in ease and pleasure; which have eaten the fat, and clothed themselves with the wool, but have not watched for the soul, as they that must give an account for them, nor cared for the sheep, but they have been blind leaders of the blind; and they have not turned you to the Light, which is the Eye, which the god of the world hath blinded, left you should see them to be deceivers, as they are: Read Ezek. 34.3, 4, to the 13 verse. John 10.1. verse to the 15.  
And to you, and your Teachers, who are opposing the work of the Lord: to you all, This is the word of the Lord God, ye are as nothing before him; and all your strength is but weakness, and as a tottering wall, and our Shield is departed from you; and he is risen like a Valiant man, and his appearance is terrible as an Army with Banners; and he will Overturn, Overturn, Overturn you all, until he reign, whose right it is: And the Lord God Almighty is risen against all Persecutors, to destroy them, and confound them, unless they repent, and be warned, and agree with their Adversary, while he is in the way: be ye wise, and instructed in love to your souls, I warn you all; and kiss the Son lest he be angry, and broke you with his Iron Rod like a potter's vessel, and tear you in pieces live a Lion, and there be none to deliver you. And I warn you all, Fellow not these Teachers, nor own them to be your Guides, which are ashamed to give an Answer of what they Preach in public, but run away as the hireling in Christ's time did, when they see him come whom they call a Wolf. Let your Teacher, (if he be a Minister of Christ) I charge him, in the Powre of the Lord, never to preach that to the people, which he is ashamed of before them: And before the Lord God I warn him, or any of them who preach for Hire, and say the Scripture is their Rule, and accuse us for denying of it, to Answer these Queres:  
I. Whether the Ministers of Christ, who wrestled not with Flesh and Blood, did ever use Carnal weapons to defend the Truth withal? Or whether they did ever imprison, or torture the bodies of those which are called. Heretics, and so destroy the Handiwork of God? Or whether they which fought the Good Fight, did not use the Sword of the Spirit only, which is the Word of God, and proceeds out of the mouth of the Lamb? Or, whether these be not your Mother's weapons, the Church of Rome, which ye are crying (Whore) against? Come, answer ye Priests, and ye Orthodox men, and Original men, who have lost the true Original, and gone from the Spirit of truth, which gave forth the Scriptures, these Queres which are plain honest things.  
Whether you have any better weapons than the High Priests had, which Crucified Christ; or the Beast Antichrist, and the false Prophet which ye read of in the Revelations had, which made war with the Lamb and the Saints, and slew them which kept the testimony of Jesus, and the Word of God? whether you do not fight the bad fight, as the false Teachers, whose weapons were Carnal in all Ages did; by which weapons your Church, and your Mother Church of Rome, have strengthened themselves, and do strengthen themselves to this very day? Is this to fight the Good Fight, and to wrestle with that wicked Spirit which hath captivated the Seed, and the handiwork of God?  
II. Whether Hebrew, Greek and Latin be the Original, by which people must know the Scriptures, seeing they that had your Original, did Crucify Christ, the true Original; and did err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the Power of God? Come, answer these Queres, or else stop your mouths for ever.  
III. Whether the Scriptures, or the Bible, be the Word of God? or, whether Christ be not the Word of God, which was before the Bible was? or, whether this be not the Living Word, which was as a Light, and a Lantern to his feet; and which David hide in heart, and walked in the Light thereof, that kept him from sinning against the Lord? and whether they which had the Scripture have not still proved the greatest Enemies to Christ? and whether he, who was the immortal, eternal, and unchangeable Word, did abide in them?  
iv Whether the Bible be the Rule and Guide for Saints to walk by, as ye preach it in your Pulpits to, be? or, whether all that are the Sons of God, have not in all Ages been ruled, guided, by the Spirit of God?  
V Come, Answer ye Priests: What is the Judge of the Spirits? whether the Bible be the Judge of the Spirits, or the Anointing which we have received from the Holy One, by which we must Judge, and try all things? and whether people must come to the Scripture, which is the Bible; or to Christ within, to whom all Judgement is committed?  
VI Whether Christ be the True Light that enlighteneth every man? and whether, this Light, being obeyed, and followed, and taken heed too, be not suflicient of itself to Salve man, and Redeem man out of all sin and iniquity; and purify his heart, and create in man a clean heart, as God is clean, and to preserve and keep clean in this present evil world? Come, Answer all, ye deceivers, which say, none can be perfect in this Life: tell the people plainly by answering these Queres, whether ye are not the Children of your Mother, the Church of Rome, which do believe in a Purgatory between Heaven and this Life, seeing you tell them they cannot be free from sin while they live here, and no unclean thing can enter into the Kingdom of God?  
VII. Whether you be Ministers of Christ, or Enemies to Christ, who are of this Belief, that none can be perfect and free from sin? seeing Paul saith, Ephes. 4. 11, 12. The work of the Ministry was for the perfecting of the Saints.  
VIII. Whether your Preaching and Praying against all Sin, be not sin, seeing ye Preach and Pray for that which you believe can never be? and whether all that's not of Faith, be not Sin?  
IX. Whether you do not make, and in effect say, Satan is stronger to keep man in Sin, than Christ who came to destroy Sin, and to Redeem man out of all Sin?  
X. Whether you do not make God a hard Taskmaster, and charge him, wickedly, and make his commands grievous to your Hearers? seeing God commands men to be Holy, as he is Holy; and Pure, as he is Pure: and John saith his commands are not grievous.  
XI. Whether you are not the false teachers that Peter speaks of, 2 Pet. 2. which have forsaken Christ, the right way, and run greedily in the way of Balaam, after great Benefices and Rewards? and yourselves being gone out of the way, cannot cease from sin, and tell people they cannot cease from sin also; and so all being gone out of the Council of God, can never profit the people, but are in the spirit of Error, and are clothed with the Saints words, and Sheep's clothing, but are inwardly ravened, and erred in your hearts from the Spirit of the Lord: And whether such who hear you, and learn of you, are not they which are ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth, which is Christ; which he that's in sinneth not.  
XII. Whether the knowledge of sin comes by the Bible to any man? or, what that Law was which Paul came to the knowledge of sin by, seeing, he had the Letter, while he was alive without this Law?  
XIII. Whether Revelation be now ceased with any but such as ye are, which are in the way of Balaam, and gone from the spirit by which the things of God are revealed? Answer this, ye false teachers that say Revelation is ceased, and that the voice of Christ is not heard but in the Letter of the Scripture: seeing the Letter saith, John 10. My sheep hear my voice. And they that had the Scriptures had neither heard his Voice, nor seen his shape at any time.  
XIV. Whether any can come to the knowledge of sin, but by the light within? and whether this Light be not able of itself alone, to bring man to the knowledge of God? and whether, by any other thing but by the light which shines in the heart, man doth come to the knowledge of God? and whether this be sufficient alone to Save man, and, redeem him out of all sin in this life, and keep him pure, as Christ is pure?  
XV. Whether the Bible doth open the blind eye, seeing the Bible saith, Christ was sent to open the blind eyes? whether the Bible doth command the Conscience of man, as Noah Bryan did affirm in your Idol Temple at Stafford? or, whether the Light of Christ in the Conscience doth not exercise and command the Conscience?  
XVI. What is the Law spoken of, Isaiah 8. and the Testimony? whether it be the Bible? Come, answer what it is, and where it is? whether it be a thing without, or within man?  
XVII. Where is that Righteousness by which man is Justifed? Is it within man, and in his heart? or, was it Christ's Righteosnnesse at Jerusalem only, which fulfilled the Law? or, whether the Righteousness of the Law must not be fulfilled in man in this generation?  
XVIII. Whether Christ were not the same before the World, or Virgin Mary was, as he was in the days of the Jews; and his body the same which descended, with that which ascended? and whether any other body did ascend into Heaven, but the body which is Spiritual, and the only begotten of the Spirit, and was never seen with any carnal Eye?  
Comme all ye Priests, and you which call yourselves Ministers of Christ, do not think to hid yourselves any longer, or save yourselves in this day of the Lords mighty power, by persecuting and imprisoning us whom the Lord God hath raised up to bear a testimony against you all: and this is not your way to save yourselves from the overflowing scourge that is coming upon you all: Butt come down to the Light of Christ in you, and honestly consider, and ye shall see, and confess that ye are not Ministers of Christ, neither do ye speak as the Spirit gives you utterance; neither are you Ministers of the Spirit as they were, but of the Letter which Kills.  
If this be confessed, and owned amongst you, than you need not answer these Queres: But if you will not confess to the Lord, and own your shame, and all your Worships which is taught you but by the precepts of men than answer these which follow:  

I. Where did the Ministers of Christ hire themselves for so much a year, or make a bargain with the people, either for less or more? or, whether their Ministry was not freely given them of the Lord? and whether they were not freely to give it others? or, whether that be God's gift which ye buy at Oxford for so much Money, and learn in so long a time, and sell it again in the Country for so much by the hour glass?  
II. Whether the Ministers of Christ, who were led by the Spirit of Christ, which was never limited by an hour glass? whether they, did study in the week day, or invent, or speak a divination of their own brain to the the people, when they were met together? or, whether they did not speak as the Spirit gave them utterance?  
Again, where did the Ministers of Christ teach people to sing David's Psalms with another heart than David had? or give David's Psalms to a company of mockers, scorners, and persecutors? and whether David be not made the Song of the Drunkards by you now as ever he was?  
III. Where did the Ministers of Christ ever sprinkle Infants, and tell poor ignorant people it was an Ordinance of God? You which say the Scripture is your Rule, Answer, and show some Scripture for these things.  
IU. Where do you ever read, That the Ministers of Christ did ever imprison, persecute or sue any man for filthy lucre as ye do.  
IU. Where do you ever read, That the Ministers of Christ did ever imprison, persecute, or sue any man for filthy lucre as ye do.  
V Whether you are not those false Teachers, and antichrists, and false Christ's which Christ, Mat. 24. said should come in the last times; and John, who as one of his Apostles, in his Epistle said were come already? and whether John was not in the Light, and they went out from him in the way of Balaam, and for filthy lucre sake? and whether it be not one thousand six hundred years ago since John in the Revelations said, all the world went out after them, and wondered and said, who was able to make War with the Beast, which made war with the Lamb, and slew the Saints which kept the testimony of Jesus? Come, answer whether you are not of this Church? and whether your weapons be such as proceed out of the mouth of the Lamb, or such as they used who made war with the Lamb, and slew, and cast some of the Saints into Prison?  
VI If your Church be true, then Answer, Where did the Church of Christ appoint one, and only one to speak at a set-time, and count it disorder for any for any to speak besides him which stands in the high place? or whether, if any thing were revealed to another that stood by the first, ought not to hold his peace? whether this was ever counted confusion and disorder, by such who were the true Church, and had the Spirit of God; or by the false Church only, who were gone from the Spirit of the Lord, and to whom Revealations is ceased?  
VII. Whether all, who walk not contrary to the Scripture, as ye do in these things, and abide not in the Doctrine of Christ, have either the Father, or the Son? and whether such can Minister Christ, who have him not revealed in themselves?  
VIII. Whether your Praying, Singing, and Preaching, and all your Ordinances, and Sacrifices be not sin? and all your Incense, as if you blest an Idol, or slew a man; and offered swine's flesh, which is abomination to the Lord? and whether swine's flesh, and harlot's flesh be not the fame as ever it was?   
Come all you people of what sort or opinion soever you be. Come all you Independants, Baptists, and, Separatists of what Body or Church soever, who are not acted, guided, and led by the Pure, Eternal, Unchangeable light of Christ in your Consciences, the Church of the Firstborn, which is in God, you know not, nor the general Assembly, whose Names are written in Heaven ye are not yet come too, but ye are all of the Synagogue of Satan, and the God of the world hath blinded the eye which is the Light, which should lead you to discern the Body, which is the Church; and my bowels are yerning, and my love is issuing out towards you all; and by the power of the Lord, and in the Majesty of the Lord I am constrained to deal plainly with you all, and to wound you all, and to heal the hurt of none slightly, as your false Teachers have long done; who have daubed with untempered mortar, and spoken peace to the wicked; who have not wounded the head of the wicked, nor the hairy scalp of such as hath been found in rebellion against the Lord; and have laid a foundation, but have not taken away the rubbish in which the book of the Law hath been hid, and is hid in you, whom the God of the world hath blinded the eye which should see him, who is invisible, and the true foundation and everlasting arm which is underneath, upon which all the generation of the Righteous did build; but you are building the New house on your Old foundation; and you are garnishing the Sepulchre of the dead, and you are clothing yourselves with the white raiment, and setting a goodly Mitre upon your heads, but the filthy rags, and rotten rags, and filthy garment is yet over Joshua the High Priest; and he is slain, and the world, and the foundations thereof, and the Pillars thereof are set upon him; and the great Mystery hid from you all, which is Christ within, the hope of Glory. And you are all in the Darkness, and out of the Light, which makes manifest Darkness, and the Light shines in the darkness. And you who are in the darkness, by the children of Light are comprehended, and by him which is Judged of no man, nor careth not for man's Judgement, are you all Judged, and Condemned, but the Light yourselves cannot comprehend who are in the darkness.  
Therefore all come down into the deep, that you may see the wondrous works of the Lord in the great waters; and that ye may be drawn out of the waters, upon which the Whore sitteth, which waters have gone over, and are over your heads; (read within, Christ the Head of every man) stand still awhile, that you may see the Salvation of the Lord, and his his power rise in you, and his arm bring forth Salvation for you; and the Sea shall be dried up, and the tongue of the Egyptian shall be smitten in the seven streams, and the foundations of the World shall be discovered, and the Channels of the Sea shall be seen, and he shall be known; and what manner of man he is that rebukes the Winds, and the Sea obey him, and the swaddling Band you shall know which binds and shuts up the Sea as with doors: and saith to the proud, and raging Waves thereof, hitherto shalt thou go, and no further. This is our God whom, we have been looking for; this is the Living which we have been seeking amongst the dead: he it is which was in this place, and we knew it not; we will be galled, and rejoice in his day.  
This is day of the Lords might power, this is the Day of the Lamb's Marriage, and the Supper of the great King, and the day of the Lords Controversy, with all his Enemies which are gathered together with Gog and Magog, as the sands of the Sea; and are persecuting, imprisoning the Saints, and compassing about the beloved City, and the fire of the Lord is coming out of Heaven to destroy you all. And the Lion is come out of the Thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way, and the sword of the Lord is drawn and Made ready for the slaughter, and the slain of the Lord shall be many, and made drunk with the blood of Bulls, Rams, and Goats. Oh that you would, be wise! Oh that you would understand this! that you would consider your latter end! but you are a people void of Council; neither is there any understanding in you, for ye have rejected the pure, eternal, and immortal Word of the Lord, and behind your backs ye have cast it, and you have lightly esteemed, and counted the Light, which is the rock of Ages, as a low thing; and ye have stumbled at the stumbling stone, and the rock that begets, hath been lightly esteemed by you, who are wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own conceits; and ye have rejected the Law of the Lord, and the word of love, and what wisdom is there in you? and the light by you, wherewith Christ hath enlightened every man to you who are high in professions, and above the door, it is become foolishness, though it be the tried Stone, the Corner Stone, and the Foundation Stone, and to us that have tried him, and believe in him, he is precious; but to you who are wise; as I said before, this is too low a thing for you to tell you of (that) which smiteth you in your Consciences, and checketh you, reproveth you in secret: this say you, who are in your sins, and pleading for sin, and saying none can be without sin while they live; this say you, we knew long since. To thee I say, whoever thou art; thou knewest thy Condemnation then; for had not he come a light into the World, thou hadst had no sin: wherefore now thou hast no cloak for thy sin. But I say, hadst thou come down when thou first knew this thing, and turned at the reproof of the Lord, when he first smote thee, and made thee to start, and pursued thee in the hinder parts, when thy heart was Adulterated, and went a whoring from the Lord. I say, hadst thou then come down, and waited in the Light of the Lord which smote thee, thou wouldst have found, and felt the Power of the Lord, which is the Word of the Lord, arisen in thee like a fire, and like a hammer, even the word within the Veil would have destroyed the covering which hath been over all Nations, and rend the Veil which hath been over all people, and is yet over you; and when the Scriptures you read, with all your Original, as Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, you cannot understand because the Veil is over your heart; and Christ, the hope of Glory is entered within the Veil, which should condemn sin, and finish transgression, and destroy him which hath the power of death, which is the Devil, and bring in everlasting Righteousness.  
And this Righteousness are you ignorant of, and in your own you are, which is as filthy rags, and it doth not set you free from sin, because it is sin, and so you being all gone out of the way, which is Christ within, God's Righteousness: you cannot cease from sin, and so your Prayers are sin, and your striving, seeking, and knocking is sin, because you are striving, and seeking amiss; and so though thou take unto thee water, and wash thee with never so much Soap, yet thine iniquity, and thy Righteousness is marked, and all one before the Lord. Therefore in the bowels of love I Exhort you all, and in the power and dread of the Lord, I warn you all to come down to the manifestation of the Spirit of God, and unto the Light of God, and Grace of God, which hath appeared to all men; and freely given from the Lord, and is the Lords Talent, and the Lords gift, which is perfect, and pure, as God is pure, and unchangeable, and varies not, and is freely given to every man to profit withal.  
I say to this, come down, if ever you expect Salvation; feel it, and wait in it, which is meek, and low of heart: for until this be done, namely, to see the Light separated from the darkness, and the Precious from the Vile, you shall never be as God's mouth, and all your Teachers, who are gone from this, are out of God's Counsel, and shall never profit the people; and all ye Professors, of what Sect soever, or of what Opinion soever, who are gone from this, you are them, which are not Sons of God, being not led by this spirit of God, which he hath given to every man to profit withal; and the price is in the hand of the fool, and you are the unprofitable servants which hid your Lord's Talent, and must be cast into utter darkness, where the worms dieth not, and the fire goeth not out, but where there is wailing, weeping, and gnashing of teeth; and where the Fire of the Lord shall consume and burn for ever, and the Breath of the Lord as a stream of Brimstone, doth blow it up, and kindle it.  
I say again to you all, Come down out of all your own wisdom, and own your shame, and sit in the dust before the Lord: if so be there may be but hope, and this is hard for you who are rich, and wise, to become fools for Christ, that ye may feel, and know the Spirit of the Lord, which is the Spirit of Truth, from the lying spirit, which is of the World, and leads from the Lord into the World, and hides the Seed, to which all the Promises are, and veils the Pure, which is not of this World, nor its Kingdom, Power, nor Glory is not of this World: And this is he which you cannot believe in, who are the friendship and love of the world, worshipping, and honouring, and receiving honour one of another; in him you cannot believe, who receives not honour of men.  
Nevertheless to him you must come, and to him you must how; and whose Image hath been marred in you, and hath bowed down, and hath been slain since the world was set in man's heart; and this is the gate, and the door by which the Sheep enter: and this is the Souls Anchor, which anchors up the Immortal Soul to God: And this is the Shepherd of the sheep, and hath laid down his Life for the sheep, and they hear his Voice, and follow him through great tribulation; and in the Regeneration, they are washing their Robes, and making them white in the Blood of the Lamb. And unless to him you come out of all your own thoughts, reasonings, and imaginations, and take him for your rule and guide to to walk by, you shall never know the peace which is upon the Israel of God: And all ye that kindle a fire, and walk in the light of the sparks which yourselves have kindled, ye shall all lie down in sorrow, saith the Lord God.  
But Peace upon all, and Joy upon all who walk in the light of the Lord, and are led by the Spirit of the Lord, who leadeth out of sin and iniquity which ye all lie in, in the way of Righteousness, Holiness, and Purity, which becomes his house for evermore. And oh that thou hadst harkened into me, saith the Lord! then had thy Peace been like a River, and thy Righteousness like the Waves of the Sea; the Seed, the light to which all the Promises are, had been as the Stars in the Firmament; and the Offspring of thy Bowels, like the sands of the Seashore, innumerable! Oh that you had taken heed to the light which ye call a low thing, I would soon have subdued your enemies under you, and turned my hand against all them that hated you; he would have fed you also with the finest of the Wheat, and with honey out of the Rock would he have satisfied you! but you would not hearken to my Voice, saith the Lord, which smore you, and reproved you upon your beds: so the Lord hath given many of you over to your sins, and over to your hearts lusts, to see what you will do in the latter end. And Wisdom hath uttered her voice in the streets, saying, Turn in, for I have mingled my Wine, I have slain my Fatlings, I have furnished my Table, and all things are ready, and he hath long stood at the door and knocked; and hath long waited upon you all, that he might be gracious; and I am a witness for the Lord against you all, that he hath rather desired your return, than your ruin: and the Lord hath long striven with you, and his compassions have been great, and exceeding large towards his dwelling house, in sending to you his Messengers, time after time, and day after day: But ye have whiped, stoned, imprisoned, and persecuted, them, by whom the Lord would have healed you; but ye have chosen your own ways, and ye have delighted in that, and lived in that, and been led and taught by that by which the soul of the Righteous hath been grieved, and made sad among you. And what will ye do in the day of the Lords Controversy, which is near at hand, and coming upon you all as a sweeping rain, that leaveth no food, and as a mighty tempest against the World, is the Lord God rising, and ye shall feel his Spirit, which ye have grieved long, shall not always strive with you? And though the Lord hath long waited to be merciful and gracious unto you, I say, though he hath been long still, and refrained himself, and ye have thought he had been altogether such an one as yourselves; and because sentence hath not been speedily executed upon you, and because he hath restrained his Anger, and hath not stirred up all his Wrath against you, who are an Hypocritcall Nation, and Children, in whom there is no truth, which have dealt deceitfully, and treacherously with the Lord for all his loving kindness, as treacherous Judah did. Yet the Lord will reprove you for all your iniquities, and set them in order before you: even he that hath long time been still, and refrained himself, will now arise, like a Travelling Woman he will destroy, and devour at once; and I am trouble for you all, my Countrymen, for there's cause of a Lamentation, when I weigh, and consider your sad and woeful estate, my heart is trouble for you all, how you have covered yourselves with the Saints words, Prophet's words, Christ's and the Apostles words, but are out of that life▪ purity, and holiness▪ which they lived in, which becomes the house of God for evermore. And how ye are clothed, and how your Teachers are clothed; and are like the sheep, and only like them, but are inwardly ravened from the light, and Spirit of the Lord, and substance which they were in, which was Christ in them, the hope of Glory: and I am trouble for you all, and my heart is grieved for the place of my Nativity, and I can but seek the welfare of all the Israel of God that are among you: For which, I am but looked upon as to be your enemy, and a disquieter and trouble of your Israel. And how many false Teachers, and bastards, and false Professors, and false Christians, that have Christ only in words, as the Jews had, which slew him, and said, had they lived in the days of their Fathers; they would not have slain the Prophets? How many of these have risen up against me in this Nation, and in my own Country, like Sanba●let and Tobiah, have risen up against me with prisons and stones, and the Jews weapons which Crucified Christ, to vilify me, as they did Nehemiah, that they might cause the work of the Lord to cease? And how do they rage's, and do plainly declare, by their persecution, and are grieved at their very hearts, that there is one left to seek the welfare of his Countrymen?  
And I lay it upon you all, and in the power of the Lord God I charge you all consider, and lay it to heart, before it be too late, and hid from your eyes what kind of Ministers you have, and whether they are Ministers of the Letter which kills, or of the Spirit that gives life, 2 Cor. 3.6. Whether Ministers of Christ, whose Weapons were never carnal, as clubs, or prisons; or Ministers of Antichrist, whose weapons were not spiritual, but carnal, as the Popes, and Presbyterians, and their Ministers weapons are, which are imprisoning, and in all Ages did imprison, and slay the Saints, and such as could not join with the Idolaters, nor worship in their Masse-houses, nor Idol Temples, but kept the testimony of Jesus, and the Word of God? And all ye Magistrates in the Nation, I charge you all in the Power of the Lord, consider what you do, and how you do persecute, or lay the sword upon them as evil doers, who are moved of the Lord to come to bear a testimony against all your Idol Temples, Teachers, and their Worship; or to speak a few words unto you in the name and Power of the Lord, to turn you from darkness unto light, from the power of Satan unto God. And if you do but read the Scripture which ye say is your Rule, you shall find, that this was the practice of Christ, to go into their Synagouges and Temple, and to preach in the Villages, Streets and Markets, as we do; for which they were counted disturbers by many, yea, by almost all, the chief Priests that said they were wise, and such as were as learned, and had the Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and had the Scriptures, the Prophet's words, as your false Teachers, who are inwardly ravened from the two Original of the Scriptures, which is the Spirit from whence the Scripture did proceed: these have Christ's words, and the Apostles words; but are persecuting us, who are led by the Spirit, which the Sons of God in all Ages, and Christ, and his Apostles were led by, and we are in the same life, and found in the same practice, for which we are persecuted as deceivers, and seducers, as they were: and we read, when the Apostles came into their Synagouges, the Ruler thereof was not like many of you, who give a charge to your Officers to pull us out; but they said unto them, If ye have any word of Exhortation for the people, say on.  
And what is our transgression? and what is our sin? is it not the same which the Apostles, and Christ was found in, which was to reprove sin in the gate, to lay the Axe to the Root? and the sword of the Spirit did they draw against all Hypocrites, painted graves, and sepulchres, who were inwardly full of all manner of wickedness, as ye are in Stafford-shire. For which my life doth suffer, and bears a testimony against you all, who have a Name to live, but are dead, and who call yourselves Jew's, and Christians, but are filled with all manner of wickedness, and are out of the Lamb's nature, and child's nature, and so are of the synagouge of Satan; and your Goals, and your Officers houses, which call themselves Christians, and us deceivers, wherein you have imprisoned me ten times, not for the breach of any Law of the Nation, but for crying out against Drunkenness, and all manner of wickedness, which in these Evil doers houses do abound, which should only, both them and their houses, be for the punishment not of the Righteous, unto whom the Law was not added, but unto the Unrighteous, unto which it was.  
The End.
