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.

9 Quer. Doth not they that speak to a people that declares against all appearances, which are contrary to his way, discover himself unto a true discerning Spirit, not to be of the Lord, unlesse they can demonstrate a spirituall Commission that he hath received from heaven, by voice of words through the glorious mouth of the Lord, so that no mortall man can disprove him, though few for want of understanding receive him.

Ans. The way that leads to the Father is but one, which is Christ, and he that de∣clares from him, made manifest in him, declares against all Sects, and Opinions, and that which thou cals appearances, and the way is one, and the Tru••h one, where
