A testimony of the Fathers love, : unto all that desire after him, under what name of religion soever they be, or are called by; that they may turn to the Lord, and may wait upon him, to receive satisfaction to their immortal souls, being delivered from all false ways and worships, and from all false teachers and deceivers, many of whom have been in the world; who have run, and God never sent them, and therefore they have not profited the people at all. And also a testimony concerning the spiritual government and reign of Christ, which all people ought to wait for, that Christ (the Truth) may dwell in them, and may reign and rule in their hearts, whose right onely it is. Shewing how every one is to wait to know Christ to reign in them, to destroy Death, and the power of Death, the Devil and his works; and that such only shall reign with Christ: and how that they are deceived that say they look for, and expect Christ to reign, and in the mean time sin reigneth in them, & Christ's enemies are not destroyed, but reign in their hearts, in which Christ must reign, or else they can never reign with him in this world, nor in the world to come. With a few words to England, even to all people therein, that they may take heed of vexing the Lord by oppressing his people, least the day of their visitation pass over, and the things that belong to their peace be quite hid from their eyes.
