A collection of the several books and writings of that faithful servant of God, Richard Hubberthorn who finished his testimony (being a prisoner in Newgate for the truths sake) the 17th of the 6th month, 1662.
Hubberthorn, Richard, 1628-1662.

REader, This is the word of the Lord to thee, Take heed unto the Light Christ hath enlightened thee withall, to guide thy mind into the fear of God; to the Light of Christ in thy conscience I speak, which if thou hearken unto it, it will lead thee out of pride and lust, and envy, and will bring condemnation upon that nature thou hast lived and acted in, that is out of the fear of God; and hearkening to this Light in thy conscience, it will direct thy mind to God, and draw thy mind and affections out of earthly things, and the pollutions of the world, by which thou art defiled; thy mind and conscience is defiled by lust and un∣leanness, lusting after earthly things, and the flesh is defiled by that mind hat wallows in the Earth: Now minding the Light in thy conscience Christ hath enlightned thee withall, thy understanding will come to be en∣ightned, to see the deceipts and the blind Guides which have led thee rom this Light in thy Conscience which should exercise it, and lead thee o go to fear him, and to be taught of him, and will lead thee from the eachings of man, which keeps thee in thy sins, and draws thee from this Light in thy Conscience, which convinceth thee of sin, and lets thee see sin nd evil, and all ungodliness, and will bring thee to deny it, and lead thee 〈◊〉 repentance, and so thou wilt come to know Jesus Christ, which gives epentance and remission of sins; and then thou wilt deny Priest Sherlock, nd all that generation of Priests, who saith in th 32. page of his Book, hat Christ was a person not capable of Faith and Repentance. And here I o charge him in the presence of the living God, to be a lyar; for he is he author and finisher of faith, and he preached repentance, and gives Page  8 repentance to his people. And he denies the knowledge and understanding the Apostles had, and yet saith he preaches the same Gospel, pag. 10. And saith, That external Tongues, Arts and Sciences, gives them to under∣stand the meaning of the Gospel, p. 11. And saith, That the spirit cau∣seth fleshly fruits, p. 22. and saith, That to understand the Doctrine of God, they must use the light of distinctions, p. 54. and saith, That Re∣ligion is the Art of Arts, p 86. And saith, That Prayer in all the parts and species thereof is a means to fetch down the holy spirit of God, p. 144. When as the Saints said, the Spirit taught them to pray, and that they prayed with the spirit and with understanding. Now to the Light in your consciences I speak, which will let you see these lying Priests and blind guides, which have deceived you so long, and kept you blind and igno∣rant. So all people cease from them, and wait upon the Lord for teaching.

A lover of the Truth, and a witness against the deceit and deceivers, and a lover of the souls of all people; and that righteousness might be established, was I moved t write this. Richard Hubberthorn,
