THE TEACHERS OF THE WORLD unveiled.  
Wherein the ground of their Ministry is manifested, both in doctrine and practise, to be out of the light which cometh from Christ, in the Witchcraft deceiving the people.  
Where as in a glass they are seen to be such that the Prophets woe was against, and which Christ gave warning of, and the Apostles saw in their dayes enter the world, and are now in this day manifest to the Children of light, and declared against by G. F. that all people may from them turn.  
With a brief Declaration of the seed of evil doers, which from time to time have withstood the truth of God in all ages.  
As also certain Queries given forth touching Q. Maries Law made for defence of the Priests and Jesuits, by which the Priests and false Teachers of this Nation now guard themselves, and persecute the Children of light even to death by long and tedious Imprisonments in holes and dungeons.

YOu that do read this may see the Ministry of the world which is now standing to be that which the Apostles saw creep in before their decease, which they that were in the life bid turn away from, which in all ages was with it judged, and where the Spirit of the Lord was raised up in the hearts, it brought them to stand a witness against it in all ages past, such as have got the form of the words but are strangers from the Spirit that gave it forth; but now that which the Apostle saw then creep in who was in the life, now is seen with the light and judged, and such are the false Prophets that receive not the light & believe not in it, and such are the deceivers that receive not the light and believe not in it, and such are the Antichrists that receive not the light and believe not in it, which then came into the world, which now are in the world, and against the light stand which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world, and such are the false Christs that believe not in the light, that should come if it were possible to deceive the very Elect, that cries lo here and lo there, which the true Christ that enlighteneth every one that cometh into the world, saith, go not forth, and his true Minister saith, Christ is in you, except you be Reprobates. Now he that is the Reprobate hates the light, though it show him his evil deeds, and them to it he will not bring, because the light will condemn him, therefore it is his Condemnation, so he receiveth not Christ, he is in the state of Esau, hated of God, grows profane, which is a place for Dragons, and finds no place for repentance. But God the life is raising up in his people which the Scripture was given forth from, with which they see and know it, with the same light that the Apostles were in that saw it creep in, which light judgeth and condemneth it, which answers the light in every man.   

The Teachers of the World unveiled.  
THe day hath made manifest to the Children of light, and to the Children of light the day hath manifested error, the false Prophets, the Antichrists, and the false teachers that be in the world out of the light which cometh from Christ who is not of the world, not owning the light nor suffering others them that be under their teaching to own the light, but tells them it is 〈◇〉 natural; so such as had the Scriptures, Moses and the Prophets words, which stood praying in the Synagogues, which have the chiefest seats in the Assembly, which were called of men Master, these were them to whom Christ would sand wise men and Scribes, and they should scourge them in their Synagogues, and persecute them from city to city. Now we do see with the light that the Ministry standing in this age is in the steps of them that Christ speaks off, though they have gotten the Apostles words, & Christs words to talk off, yet they are found in the steps of the Pharisees and chief Priests in their way and steps, persecuting, causing to be put out of the Synagogues, persecuting from city to city, by such as are called of men Master, have the chiefest place in the Assembly, stand praying in the Synagogues, which Christ cried woe against. So we seeing them here out of the life of the Prophets who saw Christ and Moses, and out of the life of Christ, and out of the life of the Apostles, in the steps of them that they witnessed against, though they call theselves Ministers of Christ, yet they are them that are climbed up another way, who are not in the Prophets way, nor in Christs way; So they that are climbed up another way are the thieves, another way, mark, that is out of Christ the way, the light. Now with Christs words this Ministry standing is measured and their ways, and so to be out of Christ the way; Such the Children of light that be in the light see to be thieves and robbers, and so come to steal and destroy.  
First out of the Prophets way, they are such that have not heard the voice of God immediately from heaven, as the Prophets did, as is confessed, so such the Lord never sent, but are in the divination of their own hearts, Jer. 23. And such as the Prophet Jeremy cried against, that bear rule by their means, 
Jer. ●.  which held up the horrible filthy thing committed in the Land, and people loved to have it so; for which said God, shall not I visit for these things; and saith the Prophet, Come to the good old way, who saw them here out of the good old way? and here we see the Ministers of the world out of the good old way in the way that the Prophets witnessed against.  
again, 
Isa 56.  they are such that are out of the Prophets way, such as seek for the gain from their Quarter, who are greedy dumb doggs, which think they have never enough; the Prophet there doth not give them the name of men, but calls them doggs, greedy dumb doggs, every one looking for his own way, and for his gain from his Quarter, which we see in this age with the light therefore to be cried against. And the Prophet questioned the people and asked them why they spent their money for that which was not bread, and their labour for that which satisfied not? And bid them come freely without money and without price every one that did thirst, that their souls might live; and I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Now read this and understand whose souls live not, who are not yet come to the everlasting Covenant? who are yet spending your money for that which is not bread, and are not satisfied, and such are cried against now in this age by the Children of light, who witness Christ and the Prophets.  
again, 
Ezek. 34.  you may see they are out of the Prophets way, who cried against such that sought for the fleece, and made a prey upon them in the cloudy dark day, and so they do now, but saith the Lord, I will seek my sheep where they have been scattered this cloudy dark day, and gather them, from their mouths, they shall not be a prey to them any longer, and I will feed them upon the top of the mountaines, for in the cloudy dark day my sheep wandered from mountain to hill, and were made a prey upon; but saith the Lord, I will seek them out and gather and feed them upon the top of the mountaines, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and this hath the Lord done: and those that seek for the fleece and the wool are denied and cried against, which makes a prey upon the people.  
again, 
Mic. 3.  they be out of the Prophets way, who witnessed against such Priests as divine for money, and taught for money, and yet learned upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? and they did preach peace to the people, but if they did not put into their mouths they prepared war against them, and these that did divine for money, and taught for money, and prophesy for money, that prepared war against the people if they did not put into their mouths; Such builded up Sion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity, and for the cause of such builders Jerusalem was brought to be in heaps, and Sion to be ploughed up like a field, and their highest place like a forest, as hath been fulfiled in this our age which are standing in the self same steps out of the Prophets. And the saying of Jeremy comes to be fulfilled here, Shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this? Here the Lord will scatter them that are gathered by such as the Light makes it manifest, and such chief Priests and Pharisees as were called of men Master, stood praying in the Synagogues, had the chiefest place in the Assembly, get a gathered people, and Elders, and Members, and Doctors, but these were against Christ the life, and these were not gathered by him, such as were called of men Master, stood praying in the Synagogues, had the chiefest place in the Assembly then and now, but were and are out of his way, and over such he wept, and said, I would have gathered thee as a hen gathereth her Chic●ens under her wings, and you would not. Now here you may all see those that be in their steps be not gathered with Christ, but are out of his way. Therefore take heed all you Powers of the earth what you hold up, for such as are not gathered with him, he will scatter and lay wast, and be out of his life, though they be Elders Members, gathered people, chief Priests, Doctors, and the worlds great disputers, such will with the life and power of the Lord Jesus Christ be scattered, brought to shane and confusion and condemnation, with the light which cometh from him who is not of the world, though they have all the Scriptures.  
The Teachers of the world are such that deny the light which every man is enlightened withall and saith, that every man is not enlightened that cometh into the world with the light, so here they deny that which was given to man to believe, and they that deny the light, deny him from whence it comes and the Father; And they that deny the light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world, deny the salvation, for none see the salvation but with the light which comes from Christ the Saviour, who gives every one a light to see their sins, who saves them from their sins; so they that deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, are they that shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, and go not in themselves, nor suffer others, for none come to the kingdom but such as own the light which comes from Christ the second Adam, for as all men not owning this light are yet dead in Adam, and so in darkness driven from God who is light, but every man being enlightened with a light that comes from Christ the second Adam, that he might believe, he that doth believe shall not abide in darkness, but shall have the light of life, he that doth not believe abideth in darkness and is condemned; so they entered not into rest because of unbelief; for none enter into the rest, but who believe the light to come to Christ, the rest, the peace, him by whom the world was made before it was made, who is not of the world, these see all the troubles where they are in the world, that is the deceiver which is out of the light and abides not in the truth, so do not own the light, nor will suffer none of you to own, there is the Prince of the power of darkness which goes under the chain into the pit, and so they that do not believe that Christ hath enlightened every man that cometh into the world, they cannot preach the truth the word of life, nor the hope of glory, nor the way to the Father: For as all dyed in Adam as driven from God, Christ the second Adam the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, the truth, the way to the Father, the God of all truth, so none comes to see the way to the Father, but such as come to see the light which comes from the second Adam; but they that deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, are yet dead in their sins, and the uncircumcision of the flesh, see not themselves but are in darkness, and may talk of all the words declared from the Spirit of truth, and Christ the way, but they themselves out of it, these are the Deceivers who mind earthly things, who serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own bellies, who through good words & faire speeches deceive the hearts of the simplo, the hearts of the simplo are deceived by them that be out of the light for that is the Deceiver, as I said before, who is out of the light, out of the truth, and did not abide in it, now he rules which is out of the truth in all the Children of disobedience that be disobedient to the light which comes from Christ the truth, which the Children of the light walk in, and there is the murderer, and they are brought to do his lusts, though they may talk of the good words, and so there the devil may bring Scripture for his own ends, for where the truth is obeied he is cast out, and there hath no rule, nor cannot work, but he works in the Children of disobedience, and comes with a pretence of godliness, which out of truth, and so gets into the Children of Disobedience, but the Children of light discern him, and know that the wrath of God comes upon the Children of disobedience, where he that is out of the truth, enters and works, there he lifts up in the pride and the presumption where the light is disobeyed and hated, which should have kept it out and judged it, for the children of disobedience being disobedient to that which the Children of light walk in, that which is out of the truth comes in, so they come to be servants to him who is out of the truth, which reigns and rules in the Children of Disobedience, which is judged and seen with the Children that are in the light, for being disobedient darkness rules and the understanding is darkened, their foolish hearts are darkened, and minds alienated, and come to be estranged from the Covenant of light, and life of God, but the Covenant of God and his life being received, all that is judged with the life of God which abode not in the truth, which gets into the Children of disobedience and condemned out.  
The Ministers of the world say, Revelations are past and ceased, and immediate inspiration, Christ saith, 
Math. 11.  No man knows the sun but the Father, neither knows any man the Father but the son, and he to whom the son will reveal him; S● you which call yourselves Ministers and deny Revelation, you deny the Father, and you that deny the Father deny the son also, so are them that be in the transgression, to which you are not to be said God-speed, neither to be received into the houses, least they be partakers of your evil deeds; for that which is in the transgression is in the evil, For no man knows the son but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father save the son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Now here the son to whom all things are delivered of his Father, must reveal the Father before the Father be known, so you that deny Revelation have denied your knowing of the Father; For the Pharisees which you be in the steps off, they heard the sons words outwardly, and the Prophets words, and the Apostles words, but they know not the Father, neither the son, but to whom the son doth reveal the Father, they know who receive him both the Father and the son. So you may see here that many had the Scripture but knew not neither Father nor son, neither do they now until the son hath revealed him, he that hath the son hath the Father also, and how can you know the son or revelation, who owneth not the light which the son enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world withall, and so you deny revelations, and you that deny the one deny the other, and keep people from waiting upon the son, keep people from the light who reveals the Father, you which neither have the Father nor the son, who be out of the truth of him that abode not in it; So you are the Antichrists that should come, that are against Christ, and that is the Antichrist which is out of truth, which should come into the world.  
again, you that 〈…〉 the world which deny perfection, that ●●y 〈…〉 you are no Ministers of Christ that he hath sent forth, for them which he sent forth to whom he gave gifts, their Ministry was for the perfecting of the Saints, the edifying of the body, till they all come into the unity of the Faith, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Now here you have cleared yourselves out of the way which the Ministers of Christ were in who deny perfection, you have denied yourselves to be in that Ministry which the Apostles were in for the edifying of the Saints, and for the perfecting of them. So you are seen with all the Children of light and denied, which are contrary to truth, and conformable to the world.  
Secondly, You are no Ministers of that offering which hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; And often saith the Apostle; Finally Brethren, be perfect, be of one mind, stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, that I may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, saith the Apostle, who was sent to turn them from darkness to light. And after you have suffered a while, settle you, strengthen you, stablish you, and make you perfect. Now here they were fulfilling their Ministry for the perfecting of the Saints, that was the work of their Ministry who had received gifts from above which were perfect. And here you may see all that the work of the worlds Ministry is against the work of the Ministers of Jesus Christ, so making it manifest that they have not their power from God nor Christ, but from him that abode not in the truth, who bring forth no fruit to perfection, as the Pharisees did not. Now saith the Minister of Christ who preached the one offering, saith he, by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; mark, mind and read here, he hath perfected, he hath for ever perfected them that are sanctified, them that are sanctified, mark again, by the one offering. Now you that be Teachers of the world, which deny perfection and sanctification, and say none shall come to it while they be upon earth, and here the Minister a● Christ saith it, from whom you differ who deny perfection deny the offering and manifest that you are not Saints, but prove yourselves to be of him that is out of the truth, Ministers of unrighteousness, 
Heb. 10.14.  not of the Offering which is the righteousness; for whom he hath sanctified he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified by the one offering. And here you have proved yourselves not to be Ministers of this offering who deny perfection and sanctification, and so in another doctrine then the Apostles were in, and so denied by the Children of light the Saints, who witness the one offering which perfects for ever them that are sanctified. And further none see this Offering but with the light which from Christ doth come; So you that deny the light, deny the Offering that perfects for ever them that are sanctified, and you that deny them that are sanctified, deny the one offering which perfects them; so you that deny perfection deny the offering, for that was for the sins which the world never owned but hated, which is out of the truth, out of the light; here you manifest yourselves to be of the world not of God.  
again, You that take tithes do show not the Spirit that the Apostles were guided withall, who said the Priesthood was changed that received tithes, and the Law was changed by which it was made, and the Commandement disanuld by which they did take them; so saith the Apostle, Try the Spirits, and believe not every Sririt, for many false Prophets are gone into the world, which confess not Christ come in the flesh; and this is the Antichrist and the Deceiver which you have heard spoken off, which now already is in the world, then the Apostle saw them enter into the world. Now that Spirit that took ti●hes held up the first Priesthood, Temple, and Synagogues, imperfect things, an imperfect Ministry; mark, which was but a shadow of things that were to come, that Spirit confessed not Christ come in the flesh, neither did that Spirit own the Apostles Spirit that did confess Christ come in the flesh, neither did that Spirit own the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, but denied and opposed it, was against it, so Antichrist which the Apostles which were in the Spirit that confessed Christ come in the flesh, which were not of the world, with the Spirit they tried their Spirits which went about to deceive and seduce which he said now already was in the world, were entered in then, therefore he wrote to the Saints to abide in the anointing, which did abide in them, and they needed not that any man teach them, but as the anointing which they had received from the holy one; and as these walked in the light they came to have fellowship one with another, and with the son and the Father, and the blood of Jesus cleansed them from all sin. Now the Apostles that were here in the Spirit of Jesus knew the Spirit that went about to deceive and seduce, and that Spirit which was against Christs Spirit Antichrist, and that Prophet which was false, which was out of the light the truth which came from Christ the true Prophet, who saith, learn of me I am the way to the Father. Now he that did not abide in the truth, the false Prophets have their power from him, and the seducers and the Antichrists, which the Children of light ever judged and bid them take heed of the anointing in them, but even as the same anointing taught them they were to abide therein, which was truth and no lie; And again, this Spirit said, try the Spirits, saw the Spirit that got the form of godliness, that crept into houses and lead people, and they were always learning that followed them, and never were able to come to the knowledge of the truth, being lead away with divers lusts, and loaden with sin, this doetrine then crept in, in the dayes of the Apostle Paul, and he said, that they were covetous, and high minded, and heady, traytors, trucebreakers, reprobates concerning the faith, which had the form of godliness, but denied the power, which withstood the truth, as Jannes and Jambres did when the Children of Israel were to come out of Egypt; So do these resist the truth being men of corrupt minds, then their doctrine crept in which is now spread over the world, for such as deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, resisteth the truth, as Jannes and Jambres did, for the light is the truth, for none come out of the world, but who owns the light that comes from him, nor none come out of darkness, and such come to receive the Covenant and the Law written in their hearts, whereby they need no man to teach them, and such see the doctrine the Apostles saw then coming into the world, which now is spread over the world, which are leading people with their doctrine forty, fifty, sixty, or eighty yeares, and be always learning, and never able to come to knowledge of the truth, lead away with divers lusts, and loaden with sins, and how shall they be ever able to come to knowledge of the truth when their teachers and leaders do resist the truth, being men of corrupt minds and reprobate concerning the faith, which faith gives the victory over the world, and these teachers which the Apostle saw creeping in then, which be heady, high-minded, incontinent, fierce, despisers of them that are good, which are now standing in the world, leading silly women captive, which be leaden with sin, and divers lusts, which be always learning and never able to come to knowledge of the truth, and of whom they learn are Reprobates concerning the faith, which they say while man is upon the earth he shall never be made free from sin, nor never be sanctified, nor never be perfected. So that doctrine crept in then is now standing in the world crying up sin, so cry up that which is of the devil, for the Apostle saw that doctrine then crept in which did resist the truth, and lead people which were always learning, that followed them and were loaden with their sins, and such were Reprobates concerning the faith, which resist the light and deny it, but of him which is out of the truth, and what hath he to cry up but sin? and these are they that led people always captive, and keep them in their sins, and which be always learning under them, and never able to come to knowledge of the truth the light which is the truth Christ, but such as come to the knowledge of Christ which is the truth, come to see him that hath given them a light to see their sins, he it is that saves them from their sins, whose burden is light and yoke easy, and such are they which lead away with lusts as they are which be always learning and never are able to come to knowledge of the truth; For the teachers them that crept into houses say that men shall never be made free from sin while upon the earth; and the Apostle said, 
Rom. 6.  they were made free from sin; and in the Epistle to the Colossians saith, they put off the body of sin by the Circumcision of the Spirit, and this is the victory over the world, even your faith, which Christ is the Author of, which none comes to know the Author of this Faith which gives the victory over the world, which Faith the worlds teachers are reprobate to which gives the victory, but such as own the light which comes from Christ the truth, which light is the truth in the inward parts; and them that led away with the lusts are lead from the light which comes from Christ the Author of the Faith, & that doctrine crept in then, now by the children of light is seen standing in the world, which by them is denied and turned away from, and it can proceed no further, for their folly shall be made manifest to all men; for as Jannes and Jambres which were out of Moses light and power with which he saw Christ, them him did withstand; so likewise these saith the Apostle which have the form of godliness and are crept into houses, which lead silly women captive, which should be always learning and never able to come to knowledge of the truth, they themselves resisting of it, how can the learner then come to the knowledge of it, when their teachers be reprobate concerning the Faith? and now this is manifested: Now it might have been said to the Apostle, Dost not thou go into an house? Dost not thou deny the Temple that God Commanded, and teach in thine own hired house the kingdom of God to all that come to thee? yea the Apostle was in the power of godliness, and the truth, and the substance, and in the Faith, which gives the victory over the world, and saw the other which crept into houses Reprobates concerning the Faith, and resisted the truth, though they had the form of godliness, which kept people always learning, which cry now against perfection, against sanctification, against overcoming of sin, and so are against the Faith that gives the victory and the offering, against the truth that makes free, which truth thousands do witness and are come to the knowledge off & learn of, which ●one do till they come to the light which comes from him the Author of the Faith, & here they receive the power from on high, but them that resist the truth are against the light and receive not it, which Christ hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world withall, and such are Reprobates concerning the Faith, and receive not the power, but are such as may get the form, and so keep people always learning, loaden with their sins and divers lusts, which lead them captive, but this is manifested with the light and judged, which leads people and are always learning, but shall never come to knowledge of the truth, and turn people to the light they are enlightened withall, which comes from Christ the truth, to learn of him that they might come out of captivity, for that which keeps people always learning and from the truth, which are never able to come to the knowledge of it, and leads them captive loaden with sins and divers lusts, and they themselves getting the form of godliness, which are covetous, traitors, heady, high-minded, and selfe-wild, living in pleasure, such which resist the truth, men of corrupt mindes, Reprobates concerning the Faith, and all lead captive, these are Ministers of satan not of God, they be all contrary to the light, which be in all those things before mentioned, as traitors, heady, high-minded, truce-breakers, incontinent, fierce, despisers, lovers of pleasure more then lovers of God. Now this is all manifest to be out of the truth which the Apostle spake of, of him that abode not in it, so condemned by them that do abide in it & judged and condemned who be in the truth in the Faith, for these are they that have kept people and do keep people till they be 30, 40, 50, or 60 yeares learning, and are never able to come to knowledge of the truth, for the teachers themselves do resist it, and be reprobate concerning the Faith, and these are the Antichrists which John saw enter into the world, for he is an Antichrist that is against the light of Christ, and he is a false teacher that is against the light of Christ, and a false Prophet is against the light, and such are they that get the form of godliness being Reprobates concerning the faith, for none sees faith but with the light of Christ, who is the Author of it. And these are them the Apostle saw then did resist the truth which past over the world, which now are seen and manifested to be them which kept people always learning, which be Reprobates concerning the Faith, who resisteth the truth, the light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world with all their strength stand against it, and these are them which lead people so long captive, who have gotten the form of godliness, but deny the power which power now denies them.  
And the Teachers of the world now standing in the world, which are of it, make the blood of Jesus Christ of none effect & say, while they be upon the earth, they shall not have their sins all washed away, sin is of the devil, which appear to be Ministers of the devil, so here is a giving liberty to the devil, and a place for him, when the Apostle saith, Give not place to the devil, who saith, that the blood of Christ Jesus cleanseth from all sin, and you are washed, you are sanctified, and made white and clean through the blood of the lamb, who purchased to himself a Church without spot or wrinkle or blemish, or any such thing; this was the Ministers of Christs testimony of him, his Church, his blood, which is contrary to the Ministers testimony of the world, who deny and say they shall not be cleansed from their sins while they be upon the earth, & so are them which make the blood of Christ of none effect, for the blood of the first Covenant was for the cleansing, but did not make perfect, for it was not possible it should take away all sin; so here you may see where they be, not of the second Covenant. And you bring this Scripture, If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us, he that saith he hath not sinned makes him a liar, if he had not sinned, what need he a Saviour to save him from it? and the blood of Jesus cleanseth from it; but mind, if you confess your sins, he is faithful and j●st to forgive, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin; so here is a time of seeing sin a time of confessing, and a time of forsaking, and a witnessing the blood of Jesus that cleanseth from all sin; here the Children of light come to know the effect of it, & they that made the blood of Jesus Christ of none effect and do now, are them that are covetous, which be in the Idolatry, pleading for sin not for the blood which cleanseth from all sin, which are the covetous, as judas and Peter speaks off, that go in Cains way, and Balaams way, have erred from the Spirit and the Commands of God, which teacheth your own Commands for doctrine, which keeps you from the light which gives you to know Christs Commands and his doctrine; So you that deny the blood of Jesus to cleanse you from all sin, you are them that deny the light which brings you to see and confess it, which light waiting in it you come to see the blood of Jesus that cleanseth from the sin that light lets you see, which the Children of light witness. So you that be the teachers of the world, which be out of the truth of him that abode not in it, do give the ignorant people Davids tremblings, quakings prophesies, prayings and fastings in metre to sing, and for them do call God to witness, that they are not puffed in mind, nor have no scornful eye, this is given by you in metre to the world, to them that be out of the truth, & out of understanding among the mockers, scoffers persecutors, haling out of the Synagogues showing a Cage of unclean birds, that the Spirit speaks off that gave forth Scripture, and showing how you do sing with a Spirit, but not with the Spirit of understanding, but that which is out of truth; so not come to know Davids condition, for he was scoffed at, with the scorners, reproachers, & mockers, when those conditions were given forth from the Spirit, which now is turned into metre, & you that be out of the truth sing, but not with that Spirit that gave them forth, and so you that deny the Light which comes from Christ the Saviour of the world, who hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world, you deny the blood, for i. you that deny the light that enlightens every man that cometh into the world, you deny that which shows a man sin & himself, which after a man sees sin and himself, he waits for the blood of Jesus to cleanse him from all sin which his Light gives him to see, & here you are out of the way the doctrine of the Apostles, and not of the truth but of him that was out of it, and so of the Lord Jesus Christ no Ministers but of the unrighteous, for none owns the blood but such as own the light which gives to see that which is out of truth and doth it condemn; here all you that be out of truth and light are condemned with the light who are out of the truth, which be of him that is out of the truth and abide not in it. And so you that be out of the truth deny the light, and are of him that abode not in it, who deny the blood of Christ to cleanse you from all sin, so of Christ no Ministers, but of him that abode not in the truth.  
And again, you that are called Ministers of the world, which own not the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, that do not believe in it, but make a scoff at the light within, and so have cleared yourselves from that light within that shines in the heart, and of that knowledge which the light gives, which is to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, which was the end of the Apostles Ministry to bring them to the light that shined in their hearts, and to turn them from darkness to the light, that they might come to that which gives them the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ: So all you teachers which be out of the light and truth, which deny this light within, which is to give this knowledge, you be in another knowledge, and come not to see the glory of God, but do manifest whose Ministers you are who deny the light within, so keep people from that which should give them the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, which the Ministers of Christ seek to bring to, so manifest yourselves to be in darkness and of him that abode not in the truth, judged and seen by the Children of light.  
And again, you Ministers of the world which deny the light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world, you are them which teach the people lies and tell them the declaration is the word, when as the Ministers of the word said that which they set forth was a Declaration, and call it a Treatise, and call it a declaration, and said God was the Word & the Word became flesh, which none know the Word that became flesh and Christ the light, but such who owned the light that he l●ghted them withall, and these were not Ministers of the Letter but of the Spirit, but the Ministers of the world say, that the declaration is the light and the word, contrary to Scripture, Luke 1. Acts 1. Here the Ministers of Satan which are out of the truth and abode not in it, he and his Ministers, Messengers, Prophets, Teachers and Apostles, may and do get the declaration the Scriptures, and the form, and call them the light, and them the word, and deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, which cometh from Christ the word, for he it is that doth torment him to overthrow his kingdom; So to deceive the world S●tans Ministers and Teachers and Prophets and Apostles, may get the declaration, the Scripture, and call it the light, and it the word, and so speak a lie, for he speaks of himself, when the Ministers of the word said, Christ was the light and G●● was the 〈…〉 so he speaks a lie, who speaks of his own, 〈…〉 his word, and knows the holy Scrip●●●● 〈…〉, and God is the word, and Christ is the light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world, this his Ministers declare in their Declaration, and they said Christ his name was called the word of God, and not the Declaration, they did not say that was his name, but the false Prophets and the Deceivers have given it the name of Christ, so not suffering them to own the light which should lead them out of their kingdom, and such as contrad●ct their false doctrine have many been cast into prison by the devil to be tried.  
And again, the Teachers of the world which deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, say that the Steeple-house is the Church, and so with the light which cometh from him by whom the world was made, they are seen to be of him who abode not in the truth, for the Ministers of Christ said the Church was in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ which was the pillar and ground of truth, and the Church of Christ is without spot or wrinkle or blemish, or any such thing, and in it saith the Minister of Christ the Prophets might speak two or three and the rest might judge, and if any thing was revealed to him that sate by, let the first hold his peace, for you may all speak one by one, that all may learn & all may be comforted; the Spirit of the Prophets was subject to the Prophets, for God was not the Author of confusion but of peace, and this Order was in the Church of God. Now in the Church of the world which is the Steeple-house, this Order of the Church is denied, and that which comforts in the Church of Christ is denied, whereby all might learn which is in the Church of Christ, but denied in the worlds Church, and that which is peace and tends to edification in the Church of Christ, is confusion in the Church of the world, & sets them all in distraction, whose Spirits are not subject to the Spirit of the Prophets; so their Ministry is found here out of the steps of the Apostles, whose Ministry is limited to a glass, which was not the Apostles, so here their Church is contrary, their Ministry is contrary, their practise is contrary proved by Scripture, there is not the learning, nor the edification as in the Church of the Saints. And again, when any have been moved to come into the Church in the world, they have been all on heaps to speak, knocking them down, the Priests have said, take them away Magistrate; here they are them that do quench the Spirit, which the Ministers of Christ said, quench not, here they are them that go about to limit the holy one, which the Prophets did not, but the Apostle saith, You may speak one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted; and here you may see they are contrary to the Prophets, the Apostles, and the Scriptures, and the Spirit that gave them forth, and so that Priesthood which did not own Christ who lighteth every man that cometh into the world, was of him who is out of the truth, and so with clubs and staves and swords the multitude had Authority from the chief Priests to persecute the light, as now the teachers of the world with clubs and staves and stones do the multitude rise against the truth, having their authority from the chief Priests, who call to the people, stand up for the Gospel, and then the people fall a fighting and persecuting and plucking by the hair of the head, and haling out of the Synagogues and before Rulers & casting into prison. Now people mark, are not these wolves? the fruits of them which Christ said he did sand his sheep among? was ever Christs lambs or his Church guarded with clubs and with staves? and caused them to be cast into prison when any came to them and spit upon them? Did the lambs ever rise with clubs and staves and the sheep against any? are not these ill savours among them that are called Christians? which the lambs never practised the Ministers of Christ. But doth not this show the chief Priests authority, and do not you fulfil it in this age against the Lambs, of whom Christ saith, I sand you forth as lambs among wolves? are not these the fruits of wolves, tearing, rending, devouring, mocking, scoffing, prisoning persecuting, whipping, mis-naming, slandering, and reproaching? and doth not this show the fruit of them that be out of the truth without the fear of God? and hath not this proved you to be those Prophets that Jeremy speaks off, that by their lies and lightness had not profited the people at all? doth not this now give an ill savour & smell? therefore saith he, harken not to them, though wisdom cry in the streets, & the beginning of it is the fear of God, which fear of God is to depart from sin and evil. Now here is the beginning of wisdom, and this wisdom crys in the streets, her maidens are gone forth in the highest place of the city, who is simplo let him turn in hither; As for him that wants understanding she saith to him come, forsake foolishness and live, 
Prov. 9.  go into the way of understanding. And the teachers of the world that deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world say, that Hebrew, Greek, & latin is the original, and such as have this original are the orthodox men to open the Scriptures; and Pilate which knew not Christ the light, but crucified him, when that he had crucified him he wrote a superscription in Hebrew, greek, and latin, and set that over him, and them that had the Hebrew greek, and latin knew not Christ but crucified him; And saith, Moses, All the earth was of one Language before Babel and Nimrod the cunning hunter before the Lord whose kingdom was the beginning of Babel, whom God did confounded into many Languages. Now you may see Pilate had these Languages and crucified Christ, which the Ministers of the world say is the original, and they and their original is stopped at Babel & can go no farther, and so bewitch the people and all people that be kept under them and their original are stopped at Babel, and they that had that original crucified Christ. Now here we see that they are not come so far as Moses, who saw before Babel was, and the many languages which is the worlds original, where the world and their original is stopped at Babel. So now they being in Babylon the many languages building up & throwing down, not owning the light which came from Christ the Word which was in the beginning before the world was, with which light the word came to be seen, which was before Babel was & Nimrod and the languages were and Pilate was, & the worlds original, and with the light which comes from the word see all the worlds teachers and original stopped at Babel, and the people that are kept under their original and doctrine, & so there they deceive them, and they can go no farther than Babel, for all the earth was of one language before & Pilate was as wise as you are which crucified Christ who had the languages which is your original. Therfore every one of you having a light from Christ the word which was in the beginning before the many languages were, with the light come to see the word which was in the beginning; here a Peter or a John unlearned in the letter, receiving the word he shal know the scripture, he shall receive the power of God, which they that do not own the light, though they be learned in all the languages & great Doctors and rabbis know not the Scripture nor Christ, until they own the light, but are they that are stopped at Babel; For saith the worlds teachers unlearned men & unstable do wrest the Scripture to their own destruction, Peter said so who was an unlearned man in the letter, but he knew the Scripture being learned of Christ the word, And the Scribes and Pharisees which were learned men in the Scripture, and teachers and guides, but did not see the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, these were they that knew not Scripture nor Christ the substance; & here you may see what the learning was that Peter speaks off, who was an unlearned man, and what the worlds original is which is stopped at Babel, and can go no farther; the Children of light which are in the light which comes from the word from the beginning, comprehend and see the worlds doctrine here to be stopped at Babel, so here is the body of confusion Babel and Babylon, where the mother of harlots is harlots mark from the word, from the light, for who come to the word, come to the light and see before Babel was, and Babylon, and are brought out of it; So come over all the worlds teachers, they that walk in the light & reacheth to the light in every man which he hates, and they are the light of the world, & the salt of the earth, and now is the Lord gathering together his elect & chosen his royal seed which his promise is too, but all those that are contrary to the light and in Babylon the mother of the harlots stopped at Babel, and tell the world that is the original, they are all with the light cut out and condemned that contrary to it do act, who are out of the truth and teach lies which is not of the truth, but of the devil who abode not in the truth, where confusion, distraction & distemper is, all that with the light is seen and condemned from the Children that be of the light, in which they have unity & peace out of all confusion, so are on the top of that the world call the original, and before it was in the light, with which they see Christ reign, him that Moses spake off, who said, all the earth was of one language before Babel. Now you may see all the worlds teachers traced and their steps out of Moses, out of Christ, and the Apostles, in the steps of them that crucified him, who cry up that to be the original, the superscription that was set over Christ, but God is now taking off their covers, now the blindness of the peoples eyes and the scales begin to fall from their eyes, that they shall not be bewitched nor deceived no longer by such as teach lies, who are of him that abode not in the truth, for such are his.  
And the teachers of the world which own not the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world say, the 4 books, matthew, Mark, Luke & John is the gospel, and many that heard Christs words outwardly and those four books outwardly know not the Gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that doth believe, and the Gospel was preached to Abraham in the dayes of old before the 4 books were written, Gal. 3 3. but now we see in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds, mark in whom, of them which believe not, least the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them, for we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves servants for your sakes, for God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and this treasure we have in earthen vessells. Now, where the light that shines in the heart out of darkness to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God is not seen nor owned, the God of the world hath blinded their minds that the light of the glorious Gospel they see not. So now all you teachers of the world that deny the Light which Christ Jesus doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world withall & see not it, the God of the world hath blinded your minds, and so you are seeking for the earth first, and what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and what you shall put on, and how much or what you may have a year, are out of Christs doctrine and Command, who saith, seek the kingdom of God first, and the righteousness of it, & all these things will follow; so the ravens here stand up as Judge against you, the lilies of the field they are Judge upon you, and the grass which to day 〈◇〉 to morrow is cast into the Oven, for after such things the kingdoms of the world sought, which shows that you are not out of them; So the Gospel here is the power of God unto salvatihn unto every one that doth believe, & he that believeth in the light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world, he that believeth here and receiveth the light receiveth Christ and shall have power yea to become the sons of God, shall receive power which is the gospel, and he that believeth here shall never die, nor come into Condemnation, nor be confounded, for he believeth in that which manifesteth that which is to be confounded, nor be ashamed, for he beliveth in that which manifests that which is contrary to the light which who acts in there comes the shane.  
The worlds teachers that be out of truth tell you, that they thrash in hope, and plough in hope, that they may be made partakers of their hope, and they thrash it may be 40 yeares, 50 yeares, and 60 yeares, and plough it may be so long too, and when they have done are fain to seek to the Magistrates for means. And again, they say he that plants a vineyard is to eat the fruit of it, and some it may be plant 40, 50, or 60 yeares, and when they have done they are fain to seek to the Magistrate for means, or sue people at the Law, which was not the practise of the Apostles, these are them that beate the air, and they will tell people that the labourer is worthy of his hire, and the workman is worthy of his meate, such as never hired neither did set them at work, and if they will not give them what they demand, which neither set them at work nor hired them, sand for writs for them and sue them at the Law, and bring the Apostles words for their cloak, who be out of the truth; if they will not give them what they do desire, and say the workman is worthy of his meate, and the labourer of his hire. Now these are the Ministers of unrighteousness, for here they make themselves manifest, whether these be righteous Ministers let all that be in the truth judge, and are fit to teach people, whose self thus appears, who be out of the light, and out of righteousness and equity, and out of the truth; so I would have all to consider, for God will measure your ways, and weigh your actions with his balance, and who are found too light and too short, consider your portion, for to man you may flatter, but Gods kingdom is not won so, who will bring your works to the light.  
And them which be the worlds teachers, & not sent of Christ out of his way and doctrine, sprinkle Infants and teach it for doctrine and say it is a command of Christ, the which Christ never commanded; For first saith he, go teach, and then disciple or baptize, and repent and be baptized, it is a changing of the mind out of that where it hath been, and turning it to Christ, which makes a disciple one with that in Mat: 28. The teachers of the world sprinkle their Infants, which they call their baptism, and preach to them after repentance it may be 20 or 30 yeares after, so having not a Command from Christ to do what they practise, they preach up their own commands for doctrine, as it was in the dayes of Christ in the flesh, they that did not believe in him taught for doctrine the Commands of men, such as were out of the life of Moses, the life of the Prophets, the life of Christ. And now such as be out of the life of Christ, the Prophets, and the Apostles, do the same they teach for doctrine the Commands of men, which the children of light cannot own, neither Commands nor doctrine, who own Christ, who learn of him and know his doctrine and his Commandements. And further they tell of a Sacrament, for which there is no Scripture, and them that be out of the light are imitating something about that, but being in the dark are fighting and destroying one another about it, and so would have the likeness of the Lords Supper, which is often a dinner in their time of dinner, which Christ gave to his disciples at night, but the Children of light witness the Supper of the Lord which differeth them from all the world, & the imitation of a thing without life and power, taken up as the Jews did their Sacrifices and Commands, which knew not the substance of what they acted, neither do these now who are destroying one another about shadows, which hate the light, and believe not in it, which gives to see the body which is Christ.  
And again, the teachers that be of the world made by the will of man, sent out by man, they have their two mother-schools, wherein they have the heathenish Authors, & the traditions of their Fathers, so these which are the two schools, which they call the two Mothers, which they call the two fountains, such teachers as are come from them made by the will of man not by the will of God, deny the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, so themselves are kept from the fountain of mercy, and God the fountain of all good, and Christ the treasury of wisdom & knowledge, for none come to see this treasure of wisdom & knowledge, but who own the light which Christ hath given them, and this light is contrary to the will of man, & so the teachers of the world themselves being kept from the light, not owning it, keep all people from the light, and so the cisterns that hold not the living mercies, which light they receive not though they be enlightened, and so keep all from it, in which light the Children of light walk, which they keep people from, and these are the wolves & greedy doggs that have never enough that Isaiah speaks off, which are guarded with clubs and staves & goals, and they hate the light, with which light the children of light see the Lord is drying up their fountains and their springs, and their rivers and their pools, and makes their fruitful field a wilderness, a place for dragons, and their Cage a place for unclean Spirits, and now the howling of every unclean Spirit is heard, and the fenced city shall be laid desolate, and the songs of the temple be turned into howling, the city of confusion is brought down and shall be brought down; come out of Babylon, remove out of the midst of Babylon and go forth, for the Lord will raise and cause to come against Babylon an Assembly of great Nations from the North country, they shall set themselves in array against her, and their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man, none shall return in vain; Oh you destroyers of mine heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, 
Psal. 50  and bellow as bulls; mark, your mother shall be sore confounded, she that bare you shall be ashamed; mark and read.  
And the called teachers of the world which be in envy and contention, get the Apostles words and say, Some do preach Christ out of envy, and some do preach Christ of good will, and some do preach Christ out of contention and strife, though they add affliction to his bonds, & in this preaching the Apostle rejoiced, & here is a cloak for all the envious teachers and contentious teachers, and such teachers that live in strife; that was a time when few did believe there was a Christ; so for the spreading of Christs name abroad, the Apostle suffered such teachers before mentioned, envious, contentious, and such that were in strife, but when Christs name was spread abroad the Apostle said, Shun the occasion of men of strife, 
Tit. 3.9. Rom. 13. 2 Tim. 3.  and vain contentions and envious ones, for they had not so learned Christ, and he that had the form of godliness & not the power turn away from such; so though there was a time that he suffered that which they intended to add affliction to his bonds, and there was a time he again trampled upon, when Christs name was spread abroad, and many had got the form of godliness and not the power, which he bids turn away from. And the Apostle bid the Saints put on the armor of light, and not to walk in strife nor envy, and bid them avoid such Questions as engender to strife and profane & vain babblings, which increaseth ungodliness and contention and strife avoid, & before he rejoiced in such that preached Christ out of envy & strife and contention, and this is the teachers of the worlds cloak, who be out of the armor of light, which the Apostle bid the Saints put on, but all that be in the light may see their cloak will not cover them, and they have not the understanding of the Apostles doctrine, but with it judged, & by the Apostles spirit people are commanded to turn away from them, though for a time he suffered such, though they added affliction to his bonds; so each of the times the Apostle speaks off is seen with them that be in the light, and these turned from, that he speaks off, that be in the strife and envy and contention, which onely have gotten the words, but are found out of the light and life that gave them forth; and the Children of light do see that they be not in the Spirit that gave forth the Scripture, which be in the strife and the envy, so from them are turned with the light, which will reach to the light in every one, which will be the condemnation of them that hate it, and to you this is the word of the Lord, therefore repent for the Lord is awakening that of his own in every man, they shall hear the voice of his son, for the Lord is drawing to him.  
And the teachers of the world for their going into the Temple & Synagogues, as they call it, bring this for their cloak that Christ went into the Temple, and the Apostles went into the Synagogues, this the teachers of the world bring for their cloak for their Synagogues, who have 100 l. or 20, or more or less as they can agree with people: Now the Apostles and Christs going into Temple and Synagogues, Christ went in to fulfil that which was written of him, and to show the fulfilling of it, so that which was written in the Prophets and the Law might be fulfilled, & the Apostles and Disciples going into Synagogues among the chief Priests, Pharisees, and the Doctors, which had Moses & the Prophets and red them every Sabbath day, the Disciples and Apostles shewed them out of the Prophets and Moses which they red that Jesus was the Christ, for the Prophets prophesied of the coming of the just one, & Moses wrote of him and said, Like unto me will God raise up a Prophet, him the people should hear. Now the Apostles going into the Synagogues was to show this Prophet, and the fulfilling of the Prophets and Moses words, and their portion in Synagogue and Temple was haling out, and Christ spake unto them of it, that they should be haled out, and that they should scourge them there, which the Apostles found fulfilled, and so the Apostles and Disciples which Christ sent forth, which went into the temple and villages and towns, did not go to agree with them for so much a year to stay in their Synagogues, but Christ who came to fulfil what was written of him in the Law and the Prophets, sent his Disciples and Apostles forth, and gave them power and sent them into the villages, towns, temple, and Synagogues, and they shewed out of the Scripture to the people that Jesus was the Christ. Now the Bereans they preached the Prophets, 
Acts 17.  whether the things were so or not the Apostle spoken, and the Thessalonians they fell a persecuting, so the Bereans were more noble that preached than they that persecuted, & Christ sent forth his Disciples and Apostles here freely without a bag or scrip or silver in their purses; into what house you enter say peace be in this house, and there abide, and what they set before you that eat, asking no Question, freely you have received, freely give. Now this agrees with the Apostles words, who said, if we minister unto you spiritual things, it is the least if we reap of you carnal, for thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. And the Disciples which freely were to give, who had freely received, did minister spiritual things and so they were to eat what was set before them, and he said to them the workman is worthy of his meate, and the labeurer of his hire, they were not to agree with the people of a Parish, Synagogue, or town, for tithe or 100 l. or more or less, or else they would not stay, as the worlds teachers do now where they can light of a bigger bnfice, they have a call thither; so Christs Ministers had not a call to great benefice, which Ministers that ministered spiritual things were to eat of their carnal, was agreeable to the Apostles words, who said, If one minister unto you spiritual things, it is the least that we should receive of your carnal, though he said he coveted no mans silver nor gold nor apparel, though he thus spake. And the first Priesthood that took the tithes persecuted the Apostles and Disciples from city to city, that held up synagogues and Temple, who preached Christ the second Priesthood the end of the first Priesthood that took tithes. Now say the Teachers of the world they deny the Temple which God had commanded, making themselves ignorant of the Scriptures and of the power of God, for though God did Command the Temple, Solomon was to build him an house so long building, and so many builders of it, and when it was built its time it was to be a house of prayer, and when Christ came, who said, a greater then Solomon was here, he went into the Temple, cleansed the Temple, whipped them out, the buyers and sellers, and said, his Fathers house ought to be a house of prayer, but they had made it a den of thieves; And when he was come out of the Temple, he came upon the Mount, and his Disciples came to him and shewed him the building of the Temple, and he said unto them it was to be thrown down and not one ston left upon another. And Stephen for witnessing against the Temple was stoned to death, and witnessing Christ the substance. And Paul was haled out of the Temple, who went into it to show to people Christ the substance, and them that did not believe held up the Temple, and the first Priesthood Pharisees and Scribes that took tithes and paid tithes, and them that did believe in Christ Jesus a greater then Solomon that built the Temple, these came to witness him before figures and shadows were, and the end of all figures, types, and shadows, the sum and substance of all whose bodies were made the Temples of God, and these were them that witnessed Christ, who were haled out of the Temple and Synagogues by them that held them up, and by them they were tortured and imprisoned and whipped and beate, as in this age the Generation of men that be out of the light that comes from Christ, who be in the steps of them that persecuted the Apostles which were in the light, which they now persecute them that be in the same light, and witness Christ the same yesterday to day and for ever, the substance of all and the sum of all figures which none sees but such who believe in the light that comes from him, which they that hate it and do not own it are with it condemned, though they may profess all the Scriptures, read this with the light that gave it forth, and then you will see with that what is out of truth and what is in the truth, and come to discover truth from error, the Ministers of satan from the Ministers of Christ, of righteousness from unrighteousness. So the Lord open your understandings, for he is come to reign and will be magnified in his Saints, who is the glory of Israel, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world, thou that hatest it and lovest it not, this will be thy Condemnation and believest not in it, but he that believeth shall not be condemned, but he that doth not believe he it is that is condemned, and he it is that will not have Christ to reign over him, as the Jews and professors now which talk of Christs words, but will not have him to reign over them, who lighteth every one of them that cometh into the world, that through him they might believe, here they profess his words, but will not own his light which comes from Christ, from him to govern them who is the King of the Jews, whose sceptre is a righteous sceptre, who now takes his kingdom to whom the glory belongs, & the riches of the Gentiles is brought; whose Fathers have killed the Apostles and Martyrs, and they build their sepulchres, as the Fathers of the Pharisees killed the Prophets, and they built their sepulchres. 
Isa. 19.  But the Lord shall be made known to Egypt, and Egypt shall be made known to the Lord, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inhehitance. And all in the light dwell that you may see what is out of the light, out of the truth, and is with the light condemned; now you have time prise it, this is the day of your visitation, least you say your time is past; the rich gluttons time was past, when he was in the lake. Esau had lost his time, despised his birth-right, and afterwards sought it with tears, but no place was found for repentance. Pharaoh saw his sin and confessed it when the plagues were upon him, and when they were off remained in the hardness of his heart, until God overthrew him and destroyed him. Herod sought to destroy the Saints, and at last the Angel of the Lord smote him. And nabuchadnezzar lost his kingdom, who took the people captive, who would have had them bow to his image, which they could not, he it was that lost his kingdom. Cain had a promise before he was a vagabond, but now Cain is seen that doth not well, who hath not an habitation in God; and profane Esau, the hidden things of him are found, for the day is made manifest, so he was profane that sought to slay Jacob, and he was in envy that sought to slay Abell, and Ishmael was cast out that was the mocker and the scoffer at the son of the free-woman; and Herod he was the persecutor that the Angel of the Lord smote, and nabuchadnezzar took the Children of God captive, who lost his kingdom, and Pharaoh that was a task-master, cruel oppressor & proud, though by times he did confess his sin, yet not it forsook, God did him destroy and overthrew in the Sea; and proud Haman the Children of the Lord God which to him could not bow, he would have destroyed them all, against whom the Lords hand was turned and destroyed him. You that be in these steps, consider your examples; Many of the teachers before mentioned of the world were the Bishops flatterers, and they held them up until they were destroyed, and the Kings flatterers until he was destroyed, therefore harken to the Lord all people, take warning for these were the branches of trees, least any of these branches be grafted into you, and God turn his hand against you, and pluck you up but every one keep to the light that comes from Christ, that you may know his Government & come under his Government that hath no end, and learn of Christ, that you may be grafted into him; And every one of you having a light from Christ, being turned to the light that comes from Christ, will learn of Christ, if you be ten thousand of thousands, one light, one way, one truth, one head, many members, yet one body, whom Christ governeth with his power, for by him were all things created.  
And the teachers of the world for their standing in the Pulpits bring Ezra's standing in the Pulpit and reading the Law in the old time, these are the false teachers of the world, but saith the true teacher of Christ Jesus the end of the Law, who  told the people the Lord would writ his Law in their hearts, and put it into their inward parts, and hear it from the Lord, and here is the end of Ezra's Pulpit, and the false teachers cloak taken off, and they are found naked and not in the steps of Ezra who had the Law to read, and here themselves not Ministers of Christ, who is the end of the Law for righteousness sake, which the Ministers of Christ preached, which established the Law, and said, 〈…〉 writ the Law in their hearts, and this comes now to be seen by the Children of light who are called out from the Children of darkness and the Deceivers that be in the world.  
Cain was the first birth in the transgression, and the sacrifice of the first birth God accepted not, but the sacrifice of the second birth God had respect to, and the first slay the second. And Noah a preacher of righteousness, the eighth person found favour with God, mark, a preacher of righteousness, a just and an upright man in his time, walked with God, the earth also was corrupt before God, the earth was filled with cruelty, and God looked upon the earth and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth. And God drowned the old world, and saved Noah a preacher of righteousness, the eight person, and setting them forth an example to all that after them should live ungodly. And Abraham begat isaac and Ishmael was the first born, who was a wild man and a scoffer, who was cast forth. And isaac begat Jacob and Esau, and to isaac the promise was, and Esau was the first, a profane person, despised his birth-right, a cunning hunter, a man of the Field, became a place for Dragons, and sought to slay Jacob to whom there was no place of repentance found, but Jacob was a plain and a perfect man and dwelled in tents. And in the dayes of the true Prophets there were Baals Prophets whom God did confounded which were false. And in the dayes of Jeremy there were the Priests that he witnessed against, which held up the horrible filthy thing committed in the Land. And in the dayes of the true Prophet Isaiah there were the false shepherds that sought for the gain from their Quarter, the greedy dumb doggs. And in the dayes of Ezechiel there were the false shepherds that sought for the fle●ce and devoured and killed them that were fed, from whose mouths the Lord said he would deliver his sheep, and feed them himself upon the tops of the mountaines. And in the dayes of Micah there were the false teachers and Priests, such as preached for hire and divined for money, for which cause they brought Jerusalem to be in heaps, and Sion to be ploughed up like a field, and the house of the Lord to be like a forest, and if they did not put into their mouths they bit them with their teeth, these teachers and Prophets did whom God said night should come upon them and they should cover their lips, and had no Answer from God. And in the dayes of Christ there was the multitude of blind guides, hypocrites, Serpents, whited walls, built the tombs of the Prophets and Moses, who professed his words but in the hypocrisy out of the life of Moses & the Prophets, against the life who was Christ. And in the dayes of John there were them that rejected his council which to themselves brought destruction. In the dayes of Moses there were them that stood against him Jannes & Jambres resisting the truth, which truth is the light. And in the dayes of the true Apostles there were false Apostles, and the false teachers and the seducers and the deceivers, which got the form of godliness, but had not the power, and the Antichrist which then the Apostle saw these came in which are now past over the world, crying against the Ministers of Christ and of God, which preach Christ the one offering, by which they that are sanctified are perfected; mark, they that are sanctified, he doth not say shall be but are pefected for ever, doth not say shall be which the Deceiver saith not, here we prove you whose Ministers you are; And God gave gifts unto men and the gifts that he gave were perfect, & every gift that proceeds from God is perfect, and these gifts that he gave unto men were for the Ministers work, and they were to perfect the Saints, this Ministry was for the perfecting of the Saints, & these gifts they were to minister according to their gifts they were to impart their gifts, & that gift which they were to impart was perfect, so that which they were to minister which was for the perfecting of the Saints, which gifts God gave unto them, for the work was not an imperfect thing, which Ministry ministered against the imperfect, & to the perfecting, until they met all in the unity; So you that cry up imperfection, and yet are Ministers, what do you minister that which is not perfect? then you cannot perfect the Saints. Do not you then declare yourselves to all that be in the light to be Ministers of satan? And the world that hates the light which be in the darkness you cannot see for darkness is darkness, and the Ministers of satan are in the darkness, & Ministers of darkness, who minister imperfect things. But the light is risen that manifests you all, and is the condemnation of all you that hate it, your works, your fruits, & your Ministry & the Ministers who the light it hate.  
I am the light of the world, him by whom the world was made, and doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world, if you love the light which you are enlightened withall, you love Christ, who saith, learn of me but if you hate that light, there is your Condemnation. From him who is one with the truth in every man, who of the Lord was moved this to writ, that people might see what hath gotten up since the Apostles time out of the light with the light, and reigned out of the light, but now is manifest with the light, which the Apostles were in, is it seen, and to the Children of light now is manifest; whose name of the world is called G. F.  
IF the blood which you profess to be the blood of Christ, if it doth not cleanse you from all sin, what differ you from the Papists, whose blood cleanseth not from all sin, but must have a Purgatory at last; Are not you them here that make the blood of Christ of none effect? And your Ministry which is not for the perfecting of the Saints, what differs it from the Papists? And your Church which is full of spots & blem●sh●s, what differs it from the Papists? And your faith which doth not give you victory over the world, what differeth it you from the Papists? is it not a dead faith, which doth not give victory over the world, yea or nay? And is not that a living faith that gives victory over the world to God, from whence it comes which is his gift which is perfect? And what doth your hope differ you from the Papists, which doth not purisie you, even as he is pure? And what doth your b●l●efe differ you from the Papists, which are not perfected for ever by the one offering? And the Scripture saith, that they are perfected for ever who are sanctified by the one offering; And are they sanct●fied that are not perfected? And doth any own the Offering, but such as own sanctification and perfection?  
Whether by the Act 1 e. Eliza. cap. 2d last clause, that of the 1o of Mary be not repealed, which saith; That all laws, Statutes, and Ordinances, wherein or whereby any other Services, Administration of Sacraments or Common prayer, is is limited, established, or set forth to be used &c. shall be henceforth voided and of none effect; And that of the first of Mary is for the establishing of the mass and all Popish Services; And whether Nicholas hid when chief Justice of England gave not his judgement that it was wholly repealed?  
Whether that Law was not made by a Popish queen and a Popish Parliament, for the defence of the Popish Priests and jesuits, in the exercise of the Popish Idolatrous Doctrines and Services against the witness of God in the Protestants, which then test fied against both, and some in flames of fire?  
That whole body of Popery being said to be removed, whether that Law be not also nul and voided, seeing the effect ceaseth with the cause, and the defence, when that which is defended is taken away?  
Whether he that hath the Law hath not the supremacy, and so whether he that hath the Popish Law, hath not the supremacy of the Pope?  
And when did any of the Priests take the Oath of Abjuration, who have Maryes Law to guard them, or when was it tendered them? By which Law many of the servants of God are cast into prison, and for breach of that Law there remain, and the Oath of Abjuration is given to them whom they know cannot swear.  
Whether that which seeks the defence of that Law against the witness of God now, and that which so defends by pretence thereof, be not of the s●me nature, roote, and principle with that which made that Law, and was defended thereby, and seeks the supremacy that guarded the Priests and jesuits? And whether the witness o● God that testifies now, and suffers by colour of that Law, be not the same with that which testified in the dayes of Mary, and by it suffered?  
Whether the privileges of a Law exterd to any but those whom that Law qualifies thereunto, and makes ●●pable thereof, and so whether the Prie●●s now claiming the privileges of Maries Law made for the defence of the jesuits and Priests in the exercise of the Popish and Idolations D●ctrines and Services, and being defended thereby against the witness of God testifying against them, do not manifestly declare themselves to be such, and no Ministers of Jesus Christ, and whether they are otherwise to be esteemed and accounted off, seeing they have the sup●emacie that g●ards the Priests and jesuits?  
Whether the holy men of God, Prophets and Apostles from the dayes of righteous Abel on record in the Scripture ever persecu●ed any( show one example) or s●ught for or had recourse to a carnal weapon or law of man to defend or enforce their testimony, or did otherwise endeavour to approve themselves in what of truth they declared then to that of God in every mans conscience? Or whether they were not in all ages p●●secuted by those who sought for, and had recourse to, and stirred up and made use of the Law of man and carnal weapons against the testimony of the Lord in his Prophets and Apostles?  
If Q Maries law be repealed, is it your reasonableness it to have, it to uphold your Minist●y?  
If there cannot be a Ministry held up without queen Maries Law, what was that ministry that suffered by her law, that was not by it guarded, but testified against it? And whether that which caused this Ministry to suffer by Q Maries law is not that which is in the unreasonableness, out of the saith of our Lord Jesus Christ, which respects no mans person, which purifies the heart, and gives victory over the world? And whether there was not a Ministry that did suffer by her law when it was given forth? And whether those that take the oath of Abjuration to renounce Popery, must not renounce the Law that caused the Protestants to suffer, which is the Popes supremacy? And whether it be the higher power unto which the soul must be subject yea or nay? And whether the Ministers of Christ have not their power from Christ, who saith, I will be with you to the end of the world? And whether it is not Q. Maries Law that causeth the Saints now to suffer, as it did in the dayes of Q. Mary? And whether Q. Maries Law is not the Priests defence to guard them, as it was Q. Maries Priests, and did them? And whether any of the Priests that are guarded with that law can take the Oath of Abjuration, which is against Popery and the Supremacy of the Pope of Rome, but they must be sound false swearers against that which guards them? And let us see how the Priests of the world can get this cloak off their backs?  
And whether that the reasonableness did not in all ages stand out of that, that did persecute, which had its instruction from God, both Law and Gospel, not of man nor by man? And whether there was not a Ministry in all ages out of the life which got the form in the unreasonableness, which was stood against with the Spirit of God in them in whom it was, from which Spirit the words were declared, and they which were in the unreasonableness got the form but with the Spirit were judged.  
Was not Q. Maries Law made to limit the Spirit of God, though she called a Defender of the Faith, and was not her Law to guard that which was against the Spirit of God, and to hold it up which the Spirit of God witnessed against? And is not the Spirit of God now to witness against that roote and branch, which was made against it to limit it? and all that which doth authorize that which limits the Spirit of God and is against it? Against all that the Spirit of God stands a witness, its beginning, its ending, and its foundation, which is to be razed out? They who are here have the power from God, who are in the Spirit of God, which to the Spirits in prison ministers and are manifest and written in one anothers hearts by the Spirit of the living God, which Spirit is the Judge of all Popery and Popish ways, lapps them up together and fathoms and comprehends and judgeth them and condemns them and tramples upon them. So take away the Popish Law take away the Priests life. Now all may see what is in the Priests heart, for there is his guard by which the Saints are cast into prison, which cast them into prison in the dayes of Q. Mary; For see how many Priests will preach without the Popish Law, and have a Spirit to defend their Ministry: try them here with the Oath of Abinration who cry against Popery, yet dare not venture their Ministry without Q Maries Law which guarded the Popery, and cry against jesuits, yet dare not venture their Ministry but as they are guarded by that Law that guarded the jesuits?  
And what do you Priests think of those Protestants that suffered by Q. Maries Law, which now is your Guard by which many of the Saints were and are by you cast into prison, and can you cry against Popery, and yet cry to her Law to protect you without hypocrisy? And if you say you renounce Popery, then rencunce Q. Maries Law. When shall we see a Priest deny Q. Maries Law, the authority of Q Maries Church, and then among the Papists to Minister, to draw them from under Popery up to Christ, whose blood cleanseth from all sin, and so shall not look for a purgatory, he that doth this must be one that riseth from the dead, who hath his power from God, and comes to life, who breaks down all the dead Images and Crosses and likenesses; who is here, witnesseth Christ with him to the end of the world, mark, to the worlds end, that is far beyond Q. Maries Act or Authority or supremacy, or all the Popes power and authority, but who is in this power of the Lord Jesus defaceth it all and sees before the world was and it was, and he is with them who is the wisdom of God and the power of God, by which they answer that of God in every man, the light which brings them out of all visible things to Christ from whence the light comes, him by whom the world was made before it was made, for to be carnally minded is death, & that goes from the light which comes from Christ, and so the mind being in the death it imitates Crosses and sets up an image and likeness, and bows down to that, a likeness set up he who is from the light, but he who is guided by the light with the light which comes from Christ up to Christ, here is the cross to keep the mind out of all things that are carnal or bending to them, with the light up to Christ, who is eternal which changeth not, and here the mind is spiritual, where there is peace out of all the worlds power and authority in the power and authority of Christ. That which is out of the light is out of the power and out of the truth, out of the light in the carnal, in the enmity where the murderer is, out of the light where the likeness of truth which is not truth, that which is out of the light: So that which is out of the light is out of the truth, having a likeness of truth not the truth, but is the death and enmity, that power is of self and of the devil, and is with the light condemned, which from Christ doth come, to whom all power in heaven and earth is given, which power judgeth the other, which is out of the light out of the truth and abides not in it.  
The End.
