THEAURAVIOHN High Priest to the JEWS, HIS Disputive challenge to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the whole Hirach. of Roms' Clargical Priests. If the States, or men, or man, would hear of 〈◊〉, live at Eltham, but at M. Giles Calverts at the Black spread-eagle, at the West end of Saint Paul's church there you may be directed to my lodging, for know all people that I turn my face from no man upon Earth. In Amazanorum, Salmam, Addah. O Early Beloved, The beauty of Excellency hath so fare unvailed it , that the shining thereof is so strong, that it hath caused the dead to raise their dark malice to persecute the Dove of innocency, the innocent Dove Theauran●ohn your Brother; who are the first fruits in that holy lump, or holy composed figurative Figure in SABA EL: But Beloved, my Bonds and Imprisonments, they are for the hope sake that God left in Oath unto our forefather the Jews, that he would gather their Branches (We their children) his dispersed ones, and build her whom he had destroyed; and for the truth in that Oath, for the performance thereof unto you my Brethren, God hath sent me forth (the Highpriest of God, and Recorder to the thirteen Tribes of the Jews) for the return of the captivity. And know all people that my descent in my Line, I am inferior unto no man upon the whole Globe, and yet I was made a Joseph unto my Parents, for they were poor through the Tyrannical power reigning in the Norman Yoke, he subdued the Noble Saxon Line, and deprived it of its right of regency. My descent is in the Tribe of Reuben of the House of AUSTRIA, as England, France, and Spain shall witness; as also the Record of my Generalogy will make appear. And now my Brethren the Jews, in and for whose defence I stand, and for the Oath made unto our twelve Tribes, but in this return 13 Tribes; as I shall the nonstrate unto the clear view of them it doth concern. And now my Brethren, for the demonstration of the glorious clothing wherewith my God hath clothed me withal, I do challenge the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as also the Assembly of dissembling, deceived, and deceiving Clergy; to dispute in giving or taking the state in any Divine Mystery or created thing; in the depth of height, or in the height in the depth of that Hight which is in Ori. All Absalamss Am. Also I challenge the whole hierarchy of Rome, Et omnia in Terra hominem in se. That word see holds in its imbodiment all learned Clergical men, and against no other will I dispute, but only against the head of the Baallists and the Harlot's children; and know, I will not dispute but before an audible number Oratoried, or before the States of the Land; and if I do not confound ye Priests, and all men, then know. I am not the Highpriest, neither am I sent for the return of the Captivity, nor the gathering the people in peace, which is the word of God, binding us up together into the unity of one Spirit. And if you dare not appear to dispute, then know, I take your silence to consent to my affirmation; and further know, that if you, out of all your numbers of learned men, ye cannot select men, or man to appear as your Champion to maintain your cause; then know ye, that you are Liars, Cheaters, and Deceivers, and dare not come to the Light: And know, your old trade of lies, it must be maintained by and with false Oaths, for to cry Blasphemy, and Blasphemers, when you are not able for to answer or defend yourselves; neither dare bring your lies unto the Test: Now by that word Test, know, I was and am the Goldsmith, and God hath made me the Refiners fire, to refine the Gold from the dross, which is but thus much, to separate ye Priests from your trade of lies. Now if you be in the light, and as you say the Ministers of the Gospel, I pray you be not ashamed both of your message and your Master; and know, that on the fifth day of April 1652. (but this account is false) in Saint Paul's, that old called Church, but now that new made Stable, there I shall appear, as a place free for men to meet in peace, for to be confirmed in the word, if Life be in themselves; for my Sheep shall hear my voice, but a Stranger they will not hear; and my Sheep are not women, but Men; no● men, but Man; not man, but the Sons sons of God shining in the beauteous Excellency; which is the glorious declarative of the eternal Deity in Se. And know all people, I am not learned in what I declare, neither yet could I ever speak unto the people, nor dispute, but read unto the people what I had wrote; but in my six months' Imprisonment, in Newgate and the Kings-bench, in them two Land-Colledges I have taken my Degrees; and my Doctorship is advanced over Omnia terra, yet in Se., & in Se. But because Kings-bench is an excommunicated word amongst the great ones in our land, yet the poor of the land feels the same nature in the Law; for before it was Leo, but now it is Vulpes, that is, (to stretch the words in their intent, unto their full extent) it is a Fox wraped in a Lion's skin; My Nobles, this Fox I must Cast out of this Lion's skin, that is, when the Devil is cast out of deceived men, for know, names are no things. Now my Brethren, both jews and Gentiles, let the curse of my God light upon my understanding, if ever I shall forecast to set, or cause to compose two words together to give any denotation by, thus fare am I from learning any thing, that my prayer is this, Arki selexsi ori am; the English is, In thy strength O my God deliver me from my own wisdom, for it is the Devil. Now Brethren, I have lain near ten months waiting for the word, an 100 and fifty days in purification for receiving the word, and it is said unto me, that on the fifth of April my mouth shall open, for I have been dark, and have had no light. but now in confidence of that word that hath spoken unto me, I writ unto you my Brethren, and you of the greatest learning I do not exempt; and on that day being the fifth of Apr. to be in that place, Paul's Church, and so weekly to meet and declare what God shall discover unto me or any of my Brethren, whom God hath furnished for the gathering the people into the unity, out of this confused variety; and we meeting in peace, according to the Act of State giving us Authority thereunto: And further we do entreat, that we in so meeting in Innocency, may be and have preservation by the Law, as our Birthright of integiity, this I intent, if your lying Spirits, Devils, Devils Spirits do not hinder me. But I hope the State will not wilfully shut their eyes against the light, but be glad and rejoice to hear and see the truth drawn from the , which are ye called Priests, for you say that you are called and sent of Christ; it must be then messengers of his second coming, that is, to restore the captive jews according to the promise, and then your declarative must be in the height, in the Divine wisdom, in the Beauteous Excellency, and delectable Oratory; and now, if your learning will overreach my wisdom and knowledge, (though I am unlearned, than I will subscribe unto you, and write THEAURAU JOHN Highpriest no more. But be you sure I will be there, and I expect the trial of your selected choice, that makes me give you warning before to provide. Now though I expect a Champion of yours, out of all the choice of your glorious numbers, as you term them, even I expect and look for the select Ey of your whole conclave I desire that he may be free from himself in persecution of others, for persecution is of man's self-will, which is in deed and in truth the Devil in man; now where you see persecution in man, that is the very Devil in man; nay properer Devel-man, mandevil; that is, Satan that deceiver, that Man slayer, that Murderer, who was a Liar from the beginning. Now I will desipher out unto the clear view of all people, who are the sons of God, and who are the Devils moons or Devils children; Asaphel arkis, that is, Devils of strength and might. First, God's sons who are restored by Massah or Christ, they are children of obedience, acting in love unto all, even unto the children of darkness or Devils children, Not forgetting what they were reduced from before they were made obedient in light; and in love they do demonstrate by their loveliness in walking in the beams of Excellency, which is the light of love, and it is love that giveth darkness, or Devils light and sight, and doth abstract their dackness into lights own Ay, then that that was a Devil or darkness, is made light, acting in love, then them two contraries by light is reconciled unto the unity of one Spirit, and then behold all is then very good in all all one unto all, the all, which is but one All in the all of all things. Now you that are in darkness, that is Moon children, or children of the Devil, you always act your Father's work, which was, and is persecuting the light, which are the children of God. Now by your persecuting Any, you show you are Deulis, and in darkness, for persecuting, it is from the Devil, for God and Christ is love and in love, there is no persecution; for know, affoon as you appear in persecution, that man doth declare absolutely that he is possessed with the Devil. For know that if ye be in light, you love them that are in darkness, and in the bands of the Devil, because yourselves were in darkness before you were made light by that glorious Spirit of Christ the Lord, who hath cast forth your envious Devil, and turned you into the light of Life, which is the Spirit of the living God. Look upon Christ's own example, I do not bid you look unto his words, for ye persecutors are all words, but no Foundation; or example in the truth, as by your persecuting you declare yourselves for to be the Devils children, and you fetch your coloured Cloak from Christ's own words, so indeed you are Angels in words, but in action you are persecuting Devils. Now you Persecutors, you dwell in forms, and know the form of the thing is not the true thing, for the true light it is not in any man's form, or form, or forming; but it is Truth in its own root, unforming your Independency, your Annabaptisme, and your Antinomisme, and your Presbyte●anisme, and your Judisme, and all the rest of these Base, Beggarly pached Cloaks of Knavery, under which so many Woolfish Devils walk, devouring one another, and this is Religion; which whilst you are devouring one another, you must have Christ's cloak to cover all your Villainy under what kind of devouring soever. Now know that all Religion is a , and a cheat, a deceat; for there is but one Truth & that is Love, & that devoureth, not neither destroyeth any man, but lives in its own fire, fed with its own heat, beholding all Beutious, desiring no part, but unto all alike, alike unto all: Love it is Salma Oriam, that is, it is the adornative beauty of select virtue. Now if you be in the Gospel of Light, you must see none poor, neither in need, neither can you be in true Love, unless all have an enjoyment as yourselves, and none want; for God is light, filling all his Creation with the Beams of his fullness, and if his fullness hath so shined upon thee, as to write upon thee Digitus Dei, than thou walkest in light, acting in Love, and thy Sealing of light is demonstrated unto all in need; in acts of mercy and compassion; I had need to speak plain them words, the meaning is, thou shouldst not have it by thee and let any want, if thou dost, as the Lord lives thy Religion is all lies, & the Devil himself reigns in thy heart uncast forth. Now your old way of your lying Appol●onian Spirit, which is the Father of all your literal learned Clergical Priests, when you are not able to reach or understand the Truth in the Spirit of light, than your Abbadonisme of aspersions is cast forth, crying that the men are Blasphemors, Witches, Sorcerers, Deceivers, and of the Devil. Now hear in this very cry of aspersion, if trusy viewed, you in your lying colours are clearly desiphered out, for know, they or that which accuseth it, is a Devil; a deceived Spirit, for if you were in light, than you were in Love, than no accusation but Love, and that acting in mercy; for the Reducement of them that are Deceived and in darkness Sabeanus alla Sam ardi peleg ory, the English is, The safe light accuseth not, but it is the Non resident that flieteth crying, Segad, that word holds the full import. Now my Brethren both Jews and Gentiles, since the power of my God did overpower my understanding, and manhood, wisdom; which is indeed the very Devil in man, and this Devil did the Lord cast forth of me, when the power of my God in mercy fell upon me smiting me dead unto the earth; then I saw the great light shine in me, and upon me, saying, Theaurau John my servant, I have chosen thee my Shepherd, thou art adorned with the jewel of Exceliency, and this saying or voice speaking I heard when I was with God in the High and holy Mount; O Beloved, this saying is strange in our days, but it was and is true, for it was in Gods own time, and he is not confined unto men's writings, as in the Bible and Testament, but he is that eternal Root, that light, that life for ever stable, and yet he is the cause of all moving Motions; for he is the Centre in which all is centred, he is Sabiamus, Arby, Allat, Arki. AZZIEL. Now who amongst you have I wronged, and whose have I coveted, who amongst you can tax me for disorderly walking? I confess, before I was a covetous Devil, even such as you are, who are in love with money, gathering from others to fill your unsatiated desires, and yet you pray and go to Church nay congregated, but it is in the Devil's company; for God is Love, illusterating forth Beams of mercy, and you are Devils, by detracting from others by craft of villainy to enrich yourselves. Now I entreat this and no more favour, that when God shall open my mouth, you that intent to persecute when my words are speaking, bid me deliver that state in writing unto you, and I will do it; for what I shall declare, I will give it under my hand, and also maintain it; and now do not you go and coin your inventions out of my words, for than it doth become your own invention, and not my words: This I know, that Abbadons' spirits lies in wait to entrap innocents', which indeed is but the Devil, Persecuting of the Children of light. Ye my Nobles and States of England, I writ close, and sure, for my charge for couquest is for overcoming the whole learned Clergy in the world, and hear my Lord Oliver Cromwell, נכ I claim protection from you, by virtue of the Oath you have sworn unto the People, and confirmed it by many reitterations, vows, and protestations, as that protest at Huntingdon in the Market-house, myself there present, and those words I challenge you to make good which you declared, the words were these: You sought not ours, but us; and our welfare, and to stand with us for the liberty of the Gospel, and the Law of the Land. And now we have overcome our enemies, we must not name either law or Gospel in the truth of them; as for my part I have suffered six months' Imprisonment within three days, this very hour for these words; being the main charge against me charged, the words are these: I said that Hell and Damnation were not as the Ministers held forth, neither as it is written in the insert or Bible, this is my charge, and I leave it to the State to interpret their own Act, and when they know whose Act it was I was condemned by, they shall know I had not transgressed, and in seeking for Right by Law, there I found a formality to chreat me of my money; so now I find that there is neither Law nor Gospel, but man's will standing in strength for both; so a dear purchase I have bought in standing for the Parliament, which word Parliament right construed, is the truth of the Nations Right, the Nations Right stated in truth, which in patience I wait for: For know, as the Lord lives, down all shall come, for there is one turn yet more, look to it, My Lord it concerns you: Arba Arraxsi Sabbuoli odi Okron. Read them words Scholars, than Exce. yours who are in love, and that love declared by a holy life: Theaurau John, Taniour High priest. Now my Nobles of England, will it not appear strange to the World, that a man that is unlearned in what he diclares, and never could dispute, but wrote and read the writing, and hath challenged and called for an Answer to the whole people of the world, and none is found able to answer my Books; the first is Theaurau John His Au ora In Tranlagorum In Salem Gloria L. The second Book is, Theaurau John His Theos Ori Apocalippical, or Gods light declared in Mysteries; These Books are all to be had at Giles Calverts (at the black Spread-Eagle at the West end of Saint Paul's Church) Bookseller. Now, If the Clergical Priests had but answered my Books, and convinced me, before they falsely persecuted and imprisoned me; but it is too high for their learned trade of Lies to answer, nor is there any man living in the Earth, that is able to answer the Books; this I know by my rule in Light, they durst not take my books and charge me in what I had said, but coined their ASS like nonsenses upon my words, that is, thus he said so, meaning so; Then know ye ASSES, that then it is your meaning so, and not so my Words. Now Priests, will it not redound to your shame to persecute that light that all your blind lying learning is not able to answer, this shows you to be Cheats and Deceivers of the people, and if you will but answer what your Trade of Lies will reach to, I will not Print the second part of my Book called Theos Ori Apocalippical, for it is Higher wrote. You have forgotten the Apostles being unlearned, that they overcame the great Rabbis: Know, a greater work than that God is bringing forth by me and my brethren, and we are not lyingly learned, in which you so much glory. Brethren, what I have wort, I will maintain, and what I writ I am the same, But when I was a child, I spoke as a child, and so I acted, but now behold childishness is vanished away OPHIEI. EL. I am in Prison at the writing hereof, and the Prisons were always the Prophet's Schools, we read true Lectures in the empty walls, in our restralnt, without Baal's Books, in which ye learned Priests so much glory. But beloved Brethren it is for your sakes, ye beauteous Sons and Daughters of Zion, and Israel's Seed, unto whom the Lord will make good his Oath that he hath sworn unto our Forefathers, which is our Return from our Captivity, and the again building the glorious, glorifying, and glorified Temple; Even in Jerusalem: Then, then, then, O Hallilujah ALL Sabiamus AM. O yes. Any manner of men or man, City o● Country, in Oxford or Cambridge, that can bring me word of any Clergicall Priests or Priest that can answer my Books aforenamed, upon appearanee in full import of intent and Extent, they shall be all well rewarded for their pains. So God save the True State of England, and from all our Woolvish enemies, good Lord deliver us. Brethren, this I commit unto your understanding, and let them that it conterns or are not satisfied let them make search into the Heraldry where I have suffered great Defraudations, for there hath been as great a perjured Villainy to uphold and secure this base pached Normane race, as ever was in any Land under the whole Horiscope of Heaven: I know what I writ, though it be dark unto you. But I shall find out all the cheats in Herraldry without reading any Books of their Ancestors percussed perjury, which hath been a Trade too common in our Land, as the demolishing whole Families, and race the due descent Heridically; Which Heraldry it is in truth God's seal, or God's distinctions rectifying his Children in their Essential Rites, rightly Essencied. Temporal, and it is a glorious Maxim, truly defining, Literally decending, and in Truth tying every one in his Lineage, in his birth right by Linneal descent; Now where is Henry the 8 that robbed so many Families: Now our Lands being freed from the Norman subjection, we may lawfully claim our Lands and Inheritatce in the Commonwealth, as in cue right they by the Law of God and man do unto us belong, and unto us ought to be delivered: My Name hath held all these changes in England from its Original, being the Hebrew Tan, Tani, Tanni, Tangoy, Toni, Totni, Totneses but now in this return of the Captivity of the Jews my Brethren, my God hath sealed me with his glorious Seal, that is, Reuben, Theaurau John, Taniour, Allah, ALL, Aeglicie Roma Adma In Sab Appostalie Appendex in R Palma Austria all Now search your ancientest Records and you shall find me, TRU I bear 3 Sabbs, Alba, and 3 Aszure, or 3 Barrese BLU. Sword and coat of arms Theaurau john tany our High priest, recorder of the tribes of the jews for the Captivities Return.
