Also, ansvvers to severall other subtil queries put forth by one Iohn Reeve, who lives in the City of London, who cals himself the last messenger and witnesse unto the true God, but is found a false witnesse, and a lyar, and a perverter of the right way of God. / Answered by Edward Burrough, and Francis Howgill, who are witnesses unto the truth against this subtil serpent-like generation.

14 Quer. The eternall Spirit, Creator, and alone everlasting Father, which dwels

essentially in the glorified body, as our Lord Jesus his eternall Son, and virtually reign•• in all the Saints, Elect men and Angels, be record between me and you world without ••••d, whether this Epistle shall not be sent to you, and all the chosen that shall peruse it, principally for the establishing of your tender spirits upon that eternall spirituall Rock Jesus Christ God and Man in one distinct body, or person glorified, and ••••••ly ho∣noured with all spirituall praises from Elect men and Angels when this world is consu∣med into ashes, and all time or times is swallowed up into eternity or eternities.

Ans. The eternall Spirit, which is the everlasting Father, which thou saith is es∣sentially in the Son, thy word essentially I deny, and thy voice, yet Christ and the Father is one, and the same Spirit that dwels in the Son dwels in the Father which is one, I and my Father is one, the same dwels in the Saints, thy word vir∣tuall I deny, the same that dwels in the Father and in the Son, the same dwels in the Saints, not distinct nor divided, for he that hath seen the Father hath seen the Son, and he that hath the Son hath the Father also, and Christ is divided, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect in one, and he that is joyned to Christ is one spi∣rit, and not distinct nor separate: if thou have an ear thou may hear, and that eter∣nall Spirit, which is the Father and the Son, which dwels in the Saints, is judge of thee, and by that Spirit I judge thee, that this Epistle came not from him to none of the chosen, for they who are chosen deny thy voice, and what dost thou speak of E∣lect and Angels, with whom God dwels, when in thy fourth Querie thou said, they were defiled, and the holy Ghost saith, he dwels with no uncleannesse, and so speaks confusion and Babylons language, which is the land of thy nativity, from whence all these things have been spoken by thee, and all that shall ever be established with thy declaring, or thy Epistles, shall be thrown down, for the Rock shall beat thy image to pieces, and therefore leave off thy speaking of him, and of thy distinct body, and of his glory, for when he shall appear in his glory, instead of thy praises, thou shalt howl and lament, and wish the mountains to cover thee, and he who is out of time shall consume thee to ashes, who stands in time and in the airie philosophy and imagination, and thy great words eternity and eternities shall stand thee in no stead; for that which is eternall was before thou was, and shall be when thou art brought down to the pit with all thy imaginations: And so that thou might not glory any more in thy shame, we have answered thy Queries, and for the simple ones sake, that they might not be stumbled by thy stumbling Queries, who dwels not in the Light.
