VVritten by one, whom the world calls a Quaker, Joh.17.2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Verses:

NOw cease wholly from all your Priests, for they never were sent of God, but are enemies both 〈◊〉〈◊〉 him and his, as by their fruits is made manifest, they are persecutors, the highest of them in their ••••eshly Wisdome, are the highest deceivers, and now ••re found to be persecutors, as the Jewish high Priests did persecute Christ when hee came in the ••••esh, so do these Priests persecute Iesus Christ, now where he is made manifest in the spirits of his people, ••o testify against their deceits, As is now made manifest by them, Therefore cease wholly from them ••ll, great and small, For as a Troope of Robbers ••••ite for a Man, so the company of Priests murder in ••e way by consent, Hosca 6.9. and hold up that fil∣thy horrible thing, which the Lord sent his true Prophets to cry out against, as in Ier. 5.30, 31. ver. ••aith hee, A horrible and a filthy thing is committed 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Land, the Prophets prophecy falsely, and the

Priests beare rule by their meanes, and the People love to have it so, but what will yee do in the end thereof saith the Lord, Vengeance is mine and I will repay Therefore hold them not up, but come out of Ba∣bylon, l••st yee be partakers of her plagues, like Priests like people, Hosea 4.9. and the Leaders of the peopl•• cause them to erre, and if the blind lead the blind, hot shall fall into the Ditch, Mat. 15.14. The Prophet divine for money, and the Priests they Preach for hire•• and leane upon the Lord and say, is not the Lord a∣mongst us? but saith the Lord, they ranne but I did not send them, Therefore they shall not profit the peopl•• at all, Jer. 23. See what you are profitted by them and hold them not up, the Lord is against them Ier. 23.30, 31, 32, Verses, and the Lord will mak•• them contemptible in the Eyes of the people, Mal. 2•• 9. ver. woe to them, they have runne in the waye•• of Caine, who was a Murderer, and Teacheth fo•• rewards, as Balaams Priests did; and shall peris•• in the gaine saying of Core, for the Lord hat•• poured out upon you the spirit of deepe sleepe, an•• hath closed your Eyes, the Prophets and your Ru∣lers, and your Seers hath hee covered, Isai. 19••10. Stay your selves and wonder, cry yee out, and cry they are drunken, but not with Wine, they stag∣ger but not with strong drinke; Wherefore th•• Vision is become unto you all, as a booke sealed which men delivered unto one, that is learned, say∣ing, read this I pray thee, and he saith, I cannot for it is sealed, and the booke is delivered to hi•• that is unlearned, and saith, read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot, for I am unlearned, Where∣fore thus saith the Lord, for as much as this people dra•• neare with their Mouth, and their Lips, but thei•• Hearts are farre from mee, and their seare toward

is taught by the Precepts of Men, Therefore I will ••••eede to do a marvelous Worke, and a wonder amongst ••••ese people, even a marvelous worke and a wonder, for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 wisdome of their wise Men shall perish, and the ••••derstanding of the prudent shall be hid, Isai. 29.13. 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Now the Scripture is fulfilling dayly, and to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fulfilled: Woe to them that seeke deepe to hide ••••eir Councell from the Lord, and they say, who ••••th us, and who knoweth us? and their workes 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the darke: Thus saith the Lord, your turning things upside downe shall be esteemed as the Potters ••••ay, Isai. 29.16. It is yet a little while, and Le∣••on shall bee turned into a fruitfull Field, and the ••itfull Field shall be turned into a Forrest. And in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 day shall the deafe heare the words of the Booke, ••••ve the Mistery of Godlinesse unfoulded in them, ••••d the blinde shall see out of obscurity, and out darknesse, and the Lord will be the glory of the ••••ople Israel his chosen ones, and the meeke in the ••••rth shall encrease their joy in the Lord, and the ••••ore among Men shal rejoyce in the holy one of ••••ul; They also that erred in spirit shall come to ••••derstanding, and they that murmured shall ••••ne Doctrine, Isai. 29.24. shall be all taught of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Lord, and know the voyce of Iesus Christ, (the ••••e Shepherd, and Bishop of their soules) Cease yee in Man, whose breath is in his Nostrills, for where∣•••• is he to be accounted of? Isa. 2.22. What agreement ••••th Righteousnesse with Unrighteousnesse, and what ••ommunion with light and darknesse? Cease from 〈◊〉〈◊〉 teachings of Men, of corrupt minds, and waite ••olly upon the Lord, for the pure teachngs of his ••••it, the spirit of truth, that guideth and leadeth to all truth, Thus saith the Lord, Come out from ••••ng them, and be seperate, and touch no uncleane

things, and I will receive you, and will be a Fa∣ther unto you, and yee shall be my Sonnes and Daugh∣ters, saith the Lord God Almighty, 2 Cor. ••.18.

The Booke that was sealed with seaven Seale is opening, the Mistery of Godlinesse which is Ch••i•••• in us, the Divine Power of Righteousnesse, an•• the Lord alone is Teacher of his people, himsel•• alone by his spirit, Rejoyce yee Saints and Righte∣ous ones, the Lord is Keeper of his Vines, hee the good Husbandman, the Keeper, and Preserv•• himselfe alone, Therefore thus saith the Lord, say un•••• the Righteous it shall be well with them.

Saith Jesus Christ, I am the Vine, yee are the Bra••∣ches, I am the good Shepheard, and my Sheep know my Voyce, and I lead them into fat pasture•• large, and g••eene, where there is fulnesse of va∣rieties, love in Joy and Joy in Peace, and merc•• in the seate, where the King of Salem doth abide hee brought mee to the banquetting House, an•• his Banner over mee was Love, stay mee with Flag∣gons, Comfort mee with Aples, for I am sick 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Love, Love, Love; The Vines the tender Grape give a good smell, O come and taste how graciou•• the Lord is, my Beloved is mine, and I am his: Th•• Fi••g tree putteth forth her greene Figges, and th•• Vines with the tender Grapes give a good smell, ari•••• my Love my faire one, and come away.

Say unto the wicked it shall be ill with them, an•• they shall be rewarded according to their doings the wickednesse of the wicked shall slay them, Com•• out of Aegypt, Come out of Babilon, Come out 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the darke Ministery of the World, least you bee cur∣sed, and blasted, for the curse is upon the Mini∣stery of Antichrist, and the Lord will bee avenge

of his Enemies, and hee will rule all Nations as with an Iron Rod, and breake them to pieces as a Potters Vessell; And there shall be but one Sheep∣fold, and one Shepherd, the Lord one, and his Name one;

Rejoyce yee Saints and righteous ones, the Lord is King, And sits upon the Throne, Ruling by his Power, to him alone be all Honour and Glory, Praise, and Thankes, now and for evermore: Hallelujah to the highest.

Farewell.

Thine in the Vine, Wee cannot be assunder, I in thee and thou in me, Rejoyce in our Fathers Love,

Iohn 14. and ver. the 20.

There's three in one, and one in three, And that's perfect love in Unitie, I in them, and they in me, as Thou Father art in me, that They may bee perfect in one. Iohn 17.23.

R. F. with S. T.

In the Vineyard together, Tasting of the fruit of the Vine, Where there are many sweet Grapes sprung forth to feed one.

FINIS.
