THEAVRAU John HIS EPITAH And EVROPS Looking-glass.  
dearly BELOVED,  
Brethren the Divine light hath taken its Regency in the Son●● of men, and from God is this Divine gift; ORI AL, that is this lig●● angel: this Angel light come, to enlighten the dark world in man, or have stated a conjunctive word which is this Mikrakessoamoas, th●● is thus defined or Englished; it is something lovely enclosed in darkness, which the Spirit of God in man, and from that light which is the first fruits un●● God, is that received and declared and sounded forth, for the sound go●●● before the judgement cometh.  
Now Light is the declarer of darkness,& darkness is the accuser of light for in strength there is no accusation but sin and weakness is always clam●rous and accusing Now I Theaurau John come in the HIPOSTICAL ali the English is this; The Searcher for darkness in the Rooted Root the ANTE-VIA, or the before way, them two latin words as they stand ●●e Sate; their definition is unfathomable, for in their significatory Extent, ●●ey exclude the Heriscope, and reach into ALLAH HOIRE define them ●ords, and then you may behold Theavrau John in the Inmost Temple, ●here there is no voice but beholding, and no speaking nor expressing, for ●●at is vanity which is the clothing of mortality. O! ACKKLAH-SABIE, ●●e English is this; O! thou Shutter in thy rest, thy prisonre in his birth, ●●ussrharim arni pelah aluah horat o●, the English, is O! England, O! England, ●y roots are searching into, by that Eye that cannot be deceived; for thy ●niquity is great, great, great, before my God, and a Watchman,& an Hewer, ● set against thee to preach thy funeral, for thou art Dead though thou ●inkest thou art a live.  
O! Ye that are the accounted Eyes, directors, and Seeres for the people, ●ow I come to try you; for if the Eye be dark, the body must be imperfect ● sight; now what are ye, you answer, Ministers of the gospel of Christ, ●ell. I am a Priest of the Law, and an Apostle in the gospel, my expession is ●raing, but on the event let the people Judge. Now I will give you my difini●●on thus; I am a Priest called by that eternal word, which word in his HORI●PHE ARE it is ROKAS, that is the Strength, Word, Root, God, the Crea●●r of all things; Now my demonstration is this, I am a Priest the first in this ●ew birth, born and brought forth form that radical Root, which is Life, and ●mmortality itself living in himself, beholding himself in us,& wee in ●im both Celestial Alliah Saby Ory Hesseon Or Oni Am  
The English of this dubeous state is this, the doubtful man wandereth till ●he Center take him, then he seeth the fearful vanity that he hath passed through, which is the Eye of the Priest, for the Priest is the Eye of the Law, the Law 〈◇〉 the life of the Priest, so then here you have in the Priest the Law, and the Law the Priest, what is this I answer it is the Reserrection of God in man, man made obedient to God by that light, that he hath received from God, that light ●s Gods Law wrote in the heart of the Priest, the Priest is the Eye in that ●aw, what is an Eye, it is sight, what is sight, it is Obedience, what ●s Obedience, it is Love, what is Love, it is Life, what is Life, it is Jehovah 〈◇〉 Aluah Hoarim, then to be a Priest in the Law, it is to be in Jehouah, which is the Life of the Law, and God himself. So much for my definition in my essoing or in my Priest Office by, or in the Law.  
Now I come an Apostle in the gospel which is Massah, or Jesus; Appostalie Regie Adma Hosaret Regina Via Eorum; the english is this the, apostles are Christs Reserrection of this Regnecy, who by him are one in him by light from God, so when Paul and the rest knew the Reserecton of Jesus; then the beggarly Rudiments were cast by as Childishness, then their was a going on unto perfection which is the sphere I move in, and not in a poor day house, in wh●● the beauty excellency did appear, I mean that body that Suffered at Ierus●lem, christus Non Dia said, Viva Vita in Rens Magih, the english, is Christ is not Appearing day, and then night; but a living life of greatness. and Excelenc● Now Brethering I beseech you observe these two maxims. 1. God could 〈◇〉 be man, for man is a thing created and made, and that cannot be God; but G●● is he that made and Created that Appearing thing, which we call man; for wh● is born of flesh is flesh, though to give, your you own Conception, or Conceiving Jesus in your own books, yet do you,& the whole world know that Mary, that ● say was the Mother of God, if your expression be true, she can be noe less, an● I beseech you remenber she Mary; I mean, was but flesh, and what is born flesh is flesh, so saith the true Scripture, and flesh and blood cannot Inhear●● eternal Life; now know that he that was born of Mary was flesh and in that flesh. born of her did Jesus appear; for Jesus is n● nor never was an out side body, but an inmost or inward anointing that Crusifies by his Subjecting poewr, the out side man unto Obedience unto t●● inside or inmost spirit, for no man can see Jesus but by the effects; for Jes●● is a spiritual anointing, and not a visible Carnality: But Jesus is the subdue of carnality to the Divinity, being ressident in the carnal form, which Devi●● or Divinity is the harts Senter, in which it is made upright, and actions anser●ble to the Senter doth issue into the Declarations. One instance I give touchi●● the Carnality of Jesus as you acknowledge and it is this, it is said that Jes●● offered up a willing Sacrifice for us; this is true but look into the very wor● themselves and they are these; for room hath not shut in th● translation all the light out, but the Eye of light doth discover betwixt to joints in the closure of that Gospel; now here is the light that descovers th● cheat Couched in these words, and implyed the quit contrary to the tru● meaning of the Spirit, these are the words FATHER if it be thy will that th● Cup may pass from me: why I beseech you bretheren for the mercy sake consider rightly, for these was none of your Saviour Jesus his words as you literaly understand; but these ware and are Jesus his words, not my will but t● will be done, and submitted, for Jesus is the power of God submitting m unto himself. The second maxim is this, God is a spirit, Jesus is the same: and my Father am on, it was not that appearance neither, that sound or voy● that was one with the father; but it was the tie life, or life tie, that is the Obedient Essence in man made light, which light cannot be spoken, for it is spiritual beholding, that spiritual beholding that' even that; was it th● was one with the Father, that and the Father are one, and not a man nor ye, neither any appearance, but that, that is one with the Father; it is ORY●●L that is the light all, the all light,& that light is the living life moving in all ●●at are risen in the Jesus Reserriction which is MOVNT SION. So when you ●●e come unto mount Sion, then you will know what I writ; for my Sheep ●●y know me, and my voice is the Crown of their Lovely enjoyment, for let ●●e tel you you, you dark Gentiles, it is a voice running in the veins of life ●●thering us all into one, one into all; for in light there is but one, and wee in one another, and all in God by that free gift of his grace given unto us reconcile us one to another, and so all to God.  
Now ye Ministers of the gospel in England I come to try you by the ●●spell, now take this in the first place, all truth is but one gospel, for there is 〈◇〉 truth& deceit or ally, in the whole world, althouge demonstrated vari●●sly in various forms and fashions. Now the first queerie is this.  
How can you Propagate the gospel, when you know not the gospel. I prove thus, in that word Propagating the gospel, ye do not know the gospel; for ye were in the gospel, or knew the gospel, then you would know that it is ●ods free gift and mercy, not coming by means or endeavour: But Gods ●●e gift Conferrd without mans desert, on whom the Lord pleaseth. I pray ●●u now where is your Propagating the gospel; the way that leads to the ●●spell is Christs light, and that casts out Covetousness, that's the first step; for ●●uetousness is the Root of all evil,& that Root is so deeply Rooted in you ●●eists or Ministers of the gospel, and also as deeply Rooted in the States of the ●●nd; that that glory, gospel, or Gospel, glory arises in another people, for that ●or Covetousness( Exce) unroots you, both Priests, and states, for being rooted the gospel.  
The Second queery it is, Affirmative proving that you never knew the ●●spell. nor the states, nor the called Parliament, neither of you both. I prove it ●●s; The gospel is Peace, ye are in war, and provokers to war, there: in ●●m Spirits, the gospel was never rooted, ( Id est) primus Makxzi.  
How how did ye Priests thunder in your trade of lies, in these expressions, that was not for the gospel let him be accursed, and he that would not ●●t for the gospel was none of Christs, was not this your Baal trade of lyes? 〈◇〉 you been priests of the Law, then you might have had some Colour to ●●e Acted under: But you are as ye call yourselves, Ministers of the ●●spell, and if you be Ministers of the gospel, so is Appollion or the devill; for ●●s the root ye grow upon, I prove it thus from your own words, he ●●t would not go& fight for the gospel could not be one of Christs flock, you remember this Cheat you put upon the poor Innocent& Ignorant people? now in them words their lies a perfect denial both of Christ and 〈◇〉 gospel, For Christ and his gospel is peace in love;& love in peace& know al p●●ple that Peace is not war,& love is not in slaying one another, for your ow● self ends, and your hook baited to take the simplo innocent men with th● bait gospel. But as the Lord lives ye shall drink deep of your Fornicationus co●● that you have bewi●ched, & foxed,& made the Nation drunk withall; for you day is at hand which you through the Eye of your Sophestry perceive th● makes you two thievish liars, bring your difference● to bear a face of bein● reconciled both into one, and it is but thus much yet Priests, in the truth o● your intentions it is, because you see your trade begins to decay,& the colou● of propagating, the Gospel may from the States procute a human ●●forme,& s●● a Law to bind men in obedience to that form, when indeed it is your design o● strengthen yourselves by that Law obtained in your trad of lies, and so 〈◇〉 hold the people in obedience unto yourselves, and this is your sole an● whole end and aim in the propagating of the gospel.  
Thus know all people that a Law may be given to cause the outward man to walk formable; but no man can give a Law to cause obedience in the inward spirit, for that is Spiritual and Gods place of Regency, he that will forme● a law, for that; he is the Highest and Greatest Antichrist that ever was; fo● he assum●s unto himself Gods Royalty of Regency.  
So then make you a law, for that which is lawable, that is the outward man, and make it as straight as you will in all points; for they in whom the life of Christ is truly rison they will fulfil it; for know love doth no evil to any man, but lives in its own beholding, and in that beholding it rejoyce● continually. So then you see the Jews are obedient unto your laws o● your Land, then do not you force a formal cheat called religion, upon the people; for it will prove the highest Idolatry that ever arose, that upon the Resurrection of light you will put a dark decevable vail, but ye are like your fore-Fathers; for they persecuted the light, and so do you.  
Now I come to Charge the States of the Land, and unto them I shall but name their own Words, and them Words confirmed by oaths, and the gre●● Jehovah called to witness what they Protested unto; now comes the● trial that tries you all: Now if you be in the Truth what you seemed, nay said, nay sworn unto, you cannot be offended at your own oaths proceeding from your own lips, and the Invocation of Jehovah to bear Record, and know that he is the true Record of all your actions. The first was for the gospel, O! how would you defend that; now known yea states that the gospel contains in it all Truth and Holiness which you said would be destroyed, and Popery brought in; all this cheat I remember, but then I was not ●●rought in to light; for know by your standing to defend the gospel, you Declare you know not the Gospel, for the Gospel cuts down all standing in ●an, and upon the death of mans own standing the Gospel is planted,& Rooted; ●or mens Death is the Gospels life. Now in the Gospel there is no fear of Popery, for the true Gospel is that holy anointing that turns Popery, and independency, and Presbtery,& Anabaptistery,& Armininisme, and the rest of these dark deceits into one light which is the Gospel, and then all these Sects are unsected& made one light, which is but still the Gospel, the word Gospel, the true English that it holds in its Imbodiment, it is thus much derived from the Word Gospel, it is Gods Saved, or Gods Chosen, so much lies in the Word Gospel. The Hebrew word radical is KIO wrote in {αβγδ} KOF not {αβγδ} CAPH, for KOF signifies strength in knowledge, now had this strength of knowledge been ●n you, you had stood in the rooted root, but because this root knowledge or knowledge root, was not in you, that causes always fear, and from fear all evil. Actions proceeds, and fear is not Love. Then their is no light, but darkness consists, from whence comes all these Cheating Declaratiues unto, ●and upon the Nation? it is from this state of fear, I prove it thus, God is ●ove, fear is hate, light is love, love is light, darkness is hate; so then love is the Law of God; fear and darkness is the law of the devil, and this is the State you lie in; that makes you to say and unsay, swear and for swear, promise and desceive, protest and in that protest, intend to cheat  
The next, was for the Liberty of the Subject, and the Law of the Land; Now I come into your own root, to Argue with you, and in your own Method of words, but your Actions are murderors of your words, probatum ●est from your Declaratives; Now the law in truth of law in his intent, ●t is to right all men: and indeed it is right to all men if its motion, be in its own wheels, for know an Administrator of the Law, he is to sound the Law in the Laws own words and terms, both in intent and extent, and the Administrator of the Law is to be onely a Pipe in which the consent and agreement of the People is to pass through, and be he what he will be, Great or ●●wall that sounds not the Law so; he is a traitor to the Law and People present, and ought to die without mercy, because he becomes a contemner of the Conjunctive meaning of the People, and gives his own will for the true Law of the Land; but when truth arises and calls, the Administrators of Justice to an account, which day is not far off; our eyes shall see it performed, and ●n that day there will be made many places of Judicature empty, This I know; and all ye people that are oppressed, be ye comforted, even ye which we ourselves call cavaliers; For as the Lord lives ye shall have a true Demostration of Right, in weight, and measure don unto you; But NO KING but by the power of the Lord, changing men, for though ye have bee● openly profane, and delghters in vanity, for that hath the Lord scourged you but we, even we, are more theivishly wicked, for we have not only slain ou● Enemies, but cheated our Friends, and brought the state of perjury upon th● whole al altogether, that entrusted us, and have made ourselves the Scorn● of Nations, the cheat of the people, the Abstract of all cruel villainy,  
I demonstrate from my Light thus; First, We covenanted and sword to that, then we unswore that and never performed it, which yet shall stand to the rooting out of all self-seeking men in the Nation, out, out, out, by the roots, and a Wolf, man, a man Wolf that is a Devourer of his Brother, he shall not be left to inhabit amongst us; This is a strange saying wrote, But it is from true light.  
Now know the Conjuncture of the people, if by them it have a being, It is the beauty, excellency, glory, honour and honesty celectd out of their whole all, altogether; This so chosen, is the Representative of all their glory, in whom their trust and confidence is reposed. Now this so chosen, and so seated, it is in England called a Parliament,  
Now I hope I shall offend none that now sits, for I speak in the truth of the Nations, true birth-right lineally descending, duly conjoined, and of right chosen, Magna Charta being their foundation-stone or Center. Now if ye be offended by there, I know you to be but shadows, for if ye be t●ve, then no offence; for it is a shadoe or weakness that is jeolous or offended, for truth is strong standing centred in the main rock, which is God, for God is Truth who hath been made a Colour to colour all your false, falices under, & for his glory alone I contest with this Nation only to charge it with the works wrought in it, then my work here is done, for judgement follows the sound, but men by the sound shall be left without excuse.  
Now once more ye States have wronged me and my choice in the Parliament for which I ought to be satisfied, thus; My choice, I choose I faithfully stood to defend, till a choice was chosen by a stronger hand, which violated my choice and how many more I know not; but this I know, that in that chousing, was not the Law, nor the righr of the Nation included, but then our Servants became our Masters and Lords over us, violating all our birth rights, Law and Liberty, the which things they before had Covenanted in solemn Oath to maintain, calling God to witness, who( as I said before) is a●tive witness bearer, and this I know, he will Rase out all Perjury out from amongst us, for God, will purge, till a peculiar people come forth, that shal ●read your Idols of Gold& silver,& Lands& esteem, that esteem is a great Idol in England; But this people that God will raise, shal tread all these under their feet, not esteeming that which you onely worship, overthrowing all that you sour to maintain, onely advancing yourselves, by the same law and way that you have condemned others to death for, therefore I beseech you remember, he that putteth another to death, and he himself doth the same things that he condemned the other to death for, doth not he give sentence against himself? I pray you whom these words concern, Remember and repent and return. For know there is no transgression before there be a law, onely in England is this iniquity found, as a girdle gird upon her loins,& wo woe! woe unto this hypocritical Nation, this all tounged Nation But de●ds of mercy in her are not found, the glory of her beauty is so bewitched for and with gain that her faith, her oaths, her covenants, and all her protesting, Calling God to witness is become a trade to be bought and sold for 3 s, 4 d a pound, which is the Laborours wages, your brethren the Lords workmen, whom you have thus deceived, And yourselves the purchaser of your own wilful fallen Credits, and the Nations honour also, If ever they entrusted you with it; mistake me not, there is honest Godly men, but they are in minority and overcome by wolvish plotters, whose hands Gods judgement will find out, and bring them to their due desert; mistake me not, I am none of your Sects, I am a Jew both outward, and inward, a Priest; What is that? It is indeed the light raised out of the Gentiels dark root, for to charge the transgression upon the land, and to make it culpable before my God, that Judgement might enter upon his throne, for heavy days, and days of mourning for Iniquity is at hand, and though the Priests condemn the Astrollagers, take this from me, that am a man unlearned in any art or tongue, Arki, Vea, ●rni, Ophrat. Al, Sabi, Arni, Ory Alpha, Am, O Threapha, Alba Army Arrat.  
The English is this hark, I hear a crying sound of Confusion in the land, the Priests despise the Creation of God, which is the signs of the Firmament, which signs are the true, truth, in Gods writing-table, and are the true readings, unto men from God, that is the English from that conjoined abstracted language into one canjunctive radical root.  
A word unto ye Priests; first know you are confuted in your Clamouring, by this argument. If ye were able to define the Dictatings of the Stars in their several oprative motions, then knowledge itself would silence you; but in this appears your madness, to condemn the maxim, that the Root Root you are not able to discover, or rase to 〈…〉 clear perspicuous Demonstrative; therefore it is madness beyond oppression, 〈◇〉 you to sentence, a thing you understand not. Let me tell you, Ora sam selex si vea sabini in rem; the meaning is this, The Hand pointeth to the Dial, but the Dial returneth not to the Hand, because the Hand is motional, the Dial fixed; So take notice, a Seal is set to a Bond, it is quickly done, and the Insert, is locked up, but there many times proves much sighing a● 〈◇〉 to 〈…〉 Bond in again; thus it is with man. But I state it allusive or allegories 〈◇〉 pointing to a higher Illustrative, that is, Gods Seal never alters, for his 〈…〉 truth, it stands firm.  
Now ye, despisers and wonderers, it is the want of wisdom that causes you to asperse; but be ye sure, before the revocation of the inscalment, denoted by the conjunction, of or in, this Eclipse, it will be lamentable, woeful, and great mourning and devastation: So that he that is exempted from sorrow in this conjunction concerned, he must be Celestial, for no less will be security unto any: Then your forms of Religious Holiness that Cheat, will vanish as the untimely Birth of a woman; for a trial for flesh and fleshliness will from Heaven be demonstrated, then shall ye jews my people, be brought forth as the refined of the Lord, fit to be possessed, ye being weighed up from the earth, or the earth weighed from you; for until the tincture of Evil be cast forth, Righteousness cannot be acted; for we must be delivered from, before we can be interested in. Selah.  
O my Brethren, I your Brother reuben( Theaurau John) have declared my received of the Lord, which is the triumphant State, that the jews here shall be possessed in their return, God will manifest his ancient Glory, and in that very piece and parcel of ground that hath had its Sabbaths of sorrow, tim●s time, and the half time, witnessed by Daniel my brother, by the dictatings of the Spirit in him, and the rest of the Prophets so long ago. Brethren, I am as a woman in strong travail for your birth which is to be brought forth; but beloved my God hath comforted me, for he hath shewed me this figure, that strength is in thee, from himself, and that thou comest forth like strength, birth, birth, strength, even comparatively, as a Child in the Womb, by t●● strength of his arms, should open the Matrix in which he is locked, and come forth in Majesty. So even, so, my beauteous Brethren, I see you coming. O Hallelujah Samoas arby●ory Celestialis sabinai 〈…〉 naim; O? peace is thy loveliest Garment, that thy 〈…〉 withal, and nothing shall be wanting, to make thee th● 〈…〉 Beauty, and Princeliest, Princesses of all the pro●● 〈…〉 promised unto thee; the time, the time, the time is come, thy shepherd and Watchman beholdeth thy beauteous Inheritance, it is Naim, naim, naim, it is Arki naim felexsi or, it is Arma horaiah saby ad te; there is no English that can denote these states in their full import, but the maxims will be Eclipsed in their Beauty, onely I give you this hint, it is, Glory, glory, glory to the twelve Tribes, but now in this return thirteen Tribes, we are increased in the North, as my next Book, which is already wrote, it doth illustrate.  
Now all people, whereas I wrote an Epistle in which I challenged the lying Cle●gy of England, upon the 5 of April in Pauls Church, offering a fair dispute unto them, at which place, I was in the morning, and put up my bill signifying to appear at three of the clock that day, in the mean time the seduced spirits had obtained strength and power, to shut the doors and keep the people out, so when I came the doors was shut; now hear I shall claim my privilege, as a free man of this City, and all the rest in my right included. First know you that we choose no private Congregation, but the Cathedral, a place free for all men and nations to meet in, and you know that there is an act of parliament so called that authorizeth us to meet, and dispute, and confer; now here I see you deny the act to be in force, and so unto us it is made nul and voided, so in this case of liberty the act stands us in no more force then an almanac of the year last past; now my Lord Mayor and the rest of our Governours: if we meet in peace by authority of law, you are bound to proserve and keep us in peace, by your oath you have taken to the State, for know you, you are but servants unto them you receive from, and are entrusted in, you are to punish abusers of the peace and liberty of the people, and to maintain the peaceable people in peace with all your might and assistance.  
And the main query is, whether I and the rest of the free-men of London, did contrary to our birth right, law, and liberty, by the State given unto us, if we kept within compass( then;) but brethren what I offered then, I am the same, and will make my words good before all the people at any time, which words were, to prove the Clergy the greatest cheaters and deceivers, thieves, and robbers, in the whole earth, let them plot against me what they can 〈◇〉 same I will prove unto their faces, if they dare appear; but know by this non- 〈◇〉 〈…〉 ●●ing that a ly is with them; for if they were in light then they would be 〈…〉 love, they would have appeared to admonish my weakness, 〈…〉 have made good my challenge against them: but it is 〈…〉: Now Priests that latin doth not please you, 〈…〉 ●●ol is night in himself, and dare not come to the light. Madad El, is not that Hebrew, what thi● 〈…〉 the English the● I understand neither latin nor Hebrew, 〈…〉 ●●ish; of 〈◇〉 Madad El, God sees darkness is a Cave?〈…〉 why 〈…〉, that are you Priests, or Ministers of the Gospel; for you are the Ca●o●● hath swallowed, how many I am not able to define, satis.

To conclude all in this Hebrew state, it is this, the reason that you act so wickedly you Christians, it is because you have gotten the Apostles dead literal expressions, contained in their writings which ye count the Gospel, and into them dead names you have formed your selves; but the Apostles they were that converted substance, from whence your name Gospel did proceed.  
They knew in the holy light, the divine truth which truth was their souls center, and from that light received, the holy life sanctified did proceed, and from their souls centred, and their life sanctified, did that sound, which ye call the gospel proceed, now ye have taken the sound, Gospel, from their words, and without the life that they lived the sound, it had been a ly, so you being but sounds, which sounds, without an holy life, is but a ly, and a deceit, a dark devil, and no better, being unchanged, the name Gospel is a ly, but the change Sanctity, and the life Purity, it is the root, life eternal planted in you, that is it, that makes you act in obedience, the reason that the● Apostles and the primitive Christians did walk so holily, it was the Gospel taking them in to itself) the reason that we live so wickedly, and almost all men Preachers, it is because we take the gospel into us) now what man can take unto himself, it is but a name and a name is a ly, and this State is all you taking gospelers in; for he whom the true Gospel takes, he is turned from covetousness, I prove the gospel hath not taken you, because in covetousness ye remain, now in this small Tractate from that Hebrew state, is let down by the spirit of the Lord for a Looking-glasse for Europe, in which glass they may see that they are but the Ideas of the true Gospel, for the shadows differs and contests, but truth binds all together in love, which is the light of God risen in man, and you may know what you want 〈…〉 thus deceitfully act.  
Now hear I hope I shall offend none, for na● 〈…〉 they have done; for know if ye do judge me pun●● 〈…〉 things you your selves have done. What deserve you, that have done the ●●●ngs, that you are offended to hear of the name. States, and people, in dark●●●s, they are but one darkness to me; if not light, then you are dark, and that and nation is sufferingly sensible of.  
unto what I writ I subscribe my Name  
And let me be fairly questioned, I will to your faces prove the same.
