The spiritual Verses and Proof of James Hunt, which shall be plainly shown, God hath lighted my Candle within his glorious Throne. IT is written in the 18. Chapter of the Revelation, I saw an Angel come down out of Heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory. And now ye Clergy, I plainly see and understand, You say your Universities, they are the two eyes of this Land. Why then if your eyes be so clear that you can see, I pray declare and show to me, who that Angel should be. But that deep mystery for you is yet too strong, And for that cause, you shall be taught by the English Tongue. For the plain Ploughman and Cavalier, Whom God hath mounted on the Throne of grace; He saith, ye Clergy, you shall be forced for to see clear, You must give way and place. But when I come within your Pulpit for to fly, Ye Magistrates you say I am to proud because I climb so high. But Jesus Christ he hath made me as bold as a Lion for to stand up faithful on his side, And God my Father he 〈…〉 me a powerful sweet … 〈…〉 down the Clergies pride; For you do so many f●l●e Doctrines raise, by your 〈◊〉 tongue and Greek phrase: That now, by God's help, the plain English tonguea will win the praise. It is written in the 7 h. Chapter of the Revelation, and the 17. verse; The Lamb which is in the midst of the Throne, he shall load the people on to the living Fountains of waters. And Father, Son, and holy Ghost, they are the glorious and heavenly fountains, from which the waters of life doth freely spring and flow: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost, and these three are one: And now ye Clergy, I hope ye all know, the Word doth signify Christ Jesus, who is the second person in Trinity, and Father, Son, and holy Ghost, they are one in God head and one in Unity. And Jesus Christ he doth tell you, in the one and twentieth Chapter of the Revelation, six●h verse, I will give unto him that is a thirst, of the fountain of the Water of life freely. Which water of life doth signify the spiritual word of life, which is made manifest in the New Testament, which is the Book of life. And Jesus Christ he doth tell you in the fourth Chapter of john, and the 14 verse, He that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, he shall never thirst: for the water that I shall give him, saith Christ, shall be in him a Well of water springing up to everlasting life. And Jesus Christ by the power of his Spirit, he hath made me for to see and know; His water doth spring so freely in me, that my Well doth overflow. For Jesus Christ he doth tell you plainly in the seventh Chapter of john, and the 38 verse, He that believeth in me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. And now by God's help, I will boldly say, as it is written in the 10 Chapter to the Hebrews, and the 21 verse, And having a high Priest over the House of God: I do most humbly beseech all ye that are athirst, that now you will draw near to God with a true heart, and have your bodies washed with pure water; for the washing of your bodies doth signify your souls, which is the inward man, which shall be sanctified and glorified, by drinking freely of the water of life. For it is written in the 17 Chapter of john, Christ saith, Sanctify them through thy truth, thy Word is truth; for Christ is the Word and the truth: and Christ doth tell you, the glory which God his Father gave unto him, he doth give unto his Saints, that they may be all one in us, that the world may believe, that thou hast sent me. And now I say again, the Lamb which is in the midst of the Throne, doth signify God's glorious Preacher; for Jesus Christ he is called by the name of a Lamb; and God's Word doth tell you, he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit. And now by God's help, I shall make it plainly appear, the Word of God which is written in the New Testamant, doth proceed from Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which is the glorious throne of grace. It is plainly written in the 20 Chapter of john, and the 21 verse, When Jesus was risen from the dead, he came and appeared amongst his Apostles, and he said unto them, As my Father hath sent me: even so I send you, and he breathed on them, and said, receive ye all the Holy Ghost. Again, It is plainly written in the first Chapter to the Ephesians, and the third verse, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. And Christ he is the Mediator of the New Testament, as you may read in the ninth Chapter to the Hebrews, and the 15 vers. And Jesus Christ he did make all his Apostles able Ministers of the New Testament, as you may read in the third Chapter of the second Epistle to the Corintians. And thus by God's help, I have proved in brief the Word of God which is written in the New Testament, doth proceed from Father, Son, and holy Ghost, and the water of life, is the spiritual Word of life, which is revealed in the New Testament, which is the Book of life. And now all ye that have a desire to drink freely of the water of life, which is so glorious and pure, the same will cause you to forsake those polluted waters, which doth proceed from the great Whore. For now by God's help I will show you in brief the true signification of the great whore, which siteth upon so many waters. Revel. 17.1. And those many waters must not, be taken for temporal waters, which is to be discerned with the bodily eye; for the 15. vers doth tell you, the waters which thou sawest where the Whore siteth, are peoples, multitudes, Nations and tongues. And now by the divine power of God's Command, I must give ye high Court of Parliament to understand. The Devil he is the great whore, and the Devil he hath blinded and deceived the Clergy, and the Clergy they have blinded and deceived all those people which are held under their power; for the second vets doth tell you the Inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her furnication. And ye Clergy when you are in your Pulpits, you cry out and say, if the drunkards do not repent, they must down to hell. And now I say the same is a plain truth which you do tell. But ye Clergy I must tell you plainly you will be found, To be the greatest drunkards, in City or in Country town. But I pray understand and mark well what I say, For you art great drunkards in a spiritual way. For ye are always drinking, and yet, alas, alas, you are ever dry, But I must show what is the case, and the reason why. Your Fountain doth proceed from the great whore, who is the mother of your University. For she hath a thousand several sorts of wine, And waters for to please your mind. And by her sorcery, ye Clergy you have made the people blind, By drinking of your corrupted waters, and polluted wine. I say again ye Clergy you have blinded and deceived the people in such a shameful manner, that there is not one man amongst a thousand which doth rightly understand for what cause Christ was crucified on the Cross, and doth believe the power thereof. I have another book to follow this, which shall prove and justify that I speak the plain truth. But ye deluding spirits, by that glorious light which God hath freely given to me, You and those whom you have blinded, you shall plainly know and see. The same Prophecy of Scripture shall be fulfilled, which is written in the 12. Chapter of the Revelation, There appeared a great wonder in Heaven, a woman clothed with the Son and the Moon under her feet. And now ye Magistrates and Churchwardens you are not yet able for to unfold this deep riddle, And yet you say in the Church I must not meddle. But God will make you see, I shall fight, and manfully hunt, For to preach in the Pulpit, and baptise at the Fund, For to work a true peace amongst those that cannot agree And Parson Kentish he hath married his man and his maid, And kindly they have kissed, and lovingly played. And is that any knavery, but now have at the whore's coat, And some blind man may note, that I mean bawdry. But Parson Kentish, the bawd and the old whore, They keep you so blind and so poor. That my coney you can neither feel nor see, for like the Owl you sit in the dark, and cannot come to the mark, nor get one kiss of the woman free. For the woman clothed with the Sun▪ In her ●●ce I run; I am certain and sure: For she hath a delight, for to teach me to fight, and conquer the great old whore, And force ye tormenting Committee, in Town and in City, to yield up your hellish power. And now ye spiritual drunkards which are so pure in outward show, and in your blind way so precise, I pray do not scorn to learn of me to be more heavenly wise; for whereas I have said Parson Kentish cannot feel nor see my Coney; I must tell you I am a Wariner, and Parson Kentish he is not yet come to that height of knowledge for to ferit my heaven lie berry; for the woman clothed with the Sun, signifies the glorious and triumphing Church of Christ, which shall flourish by degrees over the face of the whole world, which will be to the confounding of false power, and blind Doctrine which doth arise from the Devil and the false Church. Again I say, the woman clothed with the Sun, you shall see and understand, she is joined unto Jesus Christ and is both God and man, for Christ is the word, and Christ is God. And he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, & God's Preacher, he his both man & woman, in signification of Scripture. For Saint Paul doth tell you in first Epistle to the Corinthians, the 4. Chapter, and the 15. verse, Though you have ten thousand Instructors, yet you have not many Fathers, for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel; & for to beget, doth signify man. And in the fourth chapter to the Galathians, there he saith, My little children, of whom I travel in birth, till Christ be form in you. And to travel in birth, doth signify a woman: For as every natural child hath a father and mother of the flesh: so on the other side, God he is father and mother of the Spirits. And Christ doth tell you in the third Chapter of john, Except a man be borne again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God, for that which is borne of the flesh is flesh, and that which is borne of the Spirit is Spirit. And to be born of the Spirit, is to be born again by the Word of God, as I shall prove in the first Chapter of Peter, for there it is said, We are borne again not with corruptible seed, but by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever: and this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you, Verse the five and twentieth. And thus by God's help, I have proved, in brief, God's true Preacher, he is man and woman in signification of Scripture: for a man is begotten and borne again by the divine power of the Word of God which is manifest in the New Testament, which is the Book of life. But ye deluding Clergy, when you are in your Pulpit in your Doctering, you join the old Law & new together, as if they were both as one; and in so doing, you are yet almost as blind as was the Whore, Pope joan: But the Devil he hath not so strongly blinded you, but God will make you see: the Son of the bond woman cannot, nor shall not be heir with the free: As you may read in the fourth Chapter to the Galatians, and the thirtieth Verse. For God my Father by the power of His Spirit, he will bring it so about, that by the glory of the free Woman, The bond Woman, and her Son, They shall be quit cast out. And for that cause, Parson Kentish you shall be forced for to give way, and room: That the Woman clothed with the Sun, may in your Pulpit come. But ye Magistrates, and Churchwardens ye will not yet suffer me, in the Pulpit, for to declare my mind; And for that cause I must reprove you sound, because you are so blind. For are not those blind hypocrites, as I will show you by relation: Which fight against that you pray for, which is abomination. For in Lord's Prayer you do pray, that Gods will may be done: And yet you fight against that power, which doth proceed from God the Father & the Son. For they have made me a heavenly Schoolmaster. and they have given me a glorious crown. And ye learned Synod, I pray, what say you, will not store of grey Coney skins make me a good warm Gown, for I am a bold and valiant Warrior, and do love a Conie well. And ye Magistrates, I hope to draw you from the Devil, who is the Prince of darkness, and the great Whore of hell. For God hath given me the key of knowledge; and Churchwardens, I pray give me the Key of the Church door, that I may have free leave to call God's sheep into the true fold, and scourge out mystical Babylon that drunken and polluted Whore, with whom the Inhabiters of the earth have been made drunk with the spiritual wine of her fornication, which in God's sight is very hateful and and abomination. But now ye Clergy, Magistrates, and Churchwardens, I pray in time repent, and be reconciled unto the son of the woman free, And then you and I, shall live in love and peace, and quickly agree. For the Son of the free woman, in plain and brief I must you tell, That doth signify Jesus Christ, and the Gospel. And I pray understand the Gospel in his right place, For it is the new Testament, which doth proceed from the throne of grace. And now ye Lords, Knights, and Burgesses in Parliament, Committees, Captains and Commanders, I do most humbly beseech you all, for the true love that is in God my glorious Father, that now you will in time repent and be reconciled to Jesus Christ, and to the ministration of the new Testament, which is my glorious Gospel of love and peace, that by the divine power thereof, your joy and glory may increase, and now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make you all perfect to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through the divine power of Jesus Christ our Lord. Hebrews the 13. Chapter, and the 20. verse. And now I say again, Jesus Christ he is the great shepherd of the sheep, and that is but one true and perfect God, and there must and shall be but one Religion, one shepherd, and one sheep-fould, and Father, Son, and holy Ghost, they have made me a powerful Instrument for to call and gather God's sheep into the true fold, that God's love and power, and glory you may behold. And ye high Court of Parliament, I pray take Council now of God and me, and in true judgement seat; for God's word doth tell you, the woman clothed with the Son, shall burn the Moon under her feet. And ye blind Synod, you have been along time a setting forth of Christ and his true Church, as I may boldly say; but alas, alas, you are all as men in the moon, for you cannot find the way, and now ye Committees and Excisers, the tax money which you force me, and the people to pay, you say the same is for the setting forth of true and sound Religion, but I must tell you true, that sound Religion shall not be set forth by those moon-blind Synod whom the Parliament hire with our money, nor yet by any other politician government or power which doth proceed from man's invention; for true peace and sound Religion, and Church Government, the same shall be established and set forth by that divine power and spirit which doth freely proceed from Father, Son, and holy Ghost. And now ye Excisers and tormenting Committee, in Town and in City. I pray mark well what I say; For if you will not turn and repent, Hell-fire will make you lament. For God's power you shall obey. For if you will not learn the way of peace, which is unto salvation, You shall be sure for to obey, the torments of damnation. But I hope there is none of you that doth desire for to burn in hell, Why then I pray do not fight against the light, for God will have his will. And Father, Son, and holy Ghost, whose light is above the brightness & glory of the Sun, Their power doth command my spirit within their races to run. And false power and false Doctrine which proceedeth from the Devil, which is hateful in God's sight, That shall be reproved and overthrown by the glory of the light. Which true light proceedeth from above, I say from the true God of peace and love. Unto whom be always Honour, Glory, and Power, now, and ever more, Amen. FINIS.
