religion. They also smote him, and wounded him.

Well, the next watchmen of the night were the Presbyterians, they were also the watchmen of some people; the wayfaring man went to them, and said, Ye watchmen of the night, did ye see my Beloved? And they were ex, ceeding angry, and said: What is thy beloved more than another's beloved, and what is thy religion more than another's religion? He did not ask him for his beloved; for he knew he had a beloved, his Directory. And these watchmen smote the wayfaring men, and punished some, spoiled some of their goods, and killed some, (as some at New-England) because they would not follow their beloved, as the papists and others had done before them.

The next watchmen were the Independents and Baptists; the wayfaring man went to them also, for they were the watchmen of some people, and said unto them: Ye watchmen of the night, did ye see my Beloved? And these watchmen of the night were also exceeding angry, and said, What is thy beloved more than another's beloved, and thy way more

than another's way, and thy religion more than another's. And these watchmen of the night smote cruelly.

Then the wayfaring men went to the private meetings of the Manifesterians and Seekers; and these watchmen fell a mocking, and scoffing, and railing, and smiting with the tongue, and thrust them out of their meetings. And when it was asked them, if they saw the wayfaring men's Beloved? they scoffed at their beloved. And so the wayfaring men wayfared up and down from watchman to watchman to seek their Beloved; and many were imprisoned and persecuted by some of these watchmen of the night. And now, glory for ever be to the Lord! thousands of these wayfaring men have found their beloved, and have found their way, Christ Jesus, and a fool shall not err therein; for there is no error in Christ Jesus.

The outward Jew worshiped in his outward temple made with hands, at outward Jerusalem, and they came up yearly to worship there; and if they did not come up to worship at outward Jerusalem, and keep the feast of tabernacles in the temple, upon them

should be no rain; and their eyes were to rot out of their heads, and their tongues out of their mouths, that fought against Jerusalem. Zec. xiv. 12. So the outward Jew had but one temple in the whole world, and there they went to worship in it; and the priest had a chamber in the temple. And when Christ came, he ended the priesthood, he ended the offerings, and the temple and the worship therein of the outward Jews; and set up another worship in the spirit and in the truth. For when the woman of Samaria, that came to Jacob's well, said unto Christ, how that "our father's worshiped in this mountain," (where Jacob's well was, and the well was made before Jerusalem was, or the temple either; for Jacob died in Egypt, and afterward his sons came out of Egypt, and builded a temple in Jerusalem; and so there they set up a place of worship after the well was made,) then Christ said unto the woman, the hour is coming, and now is, that they that worship the Father must worship Him in spirit and in truth; and not at Jerusalem, nor at this mountain, is God worshiped ; for God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. And then did Christ set up his worship, which

was before the Popes, Turks, Common-prayer, Presbyterian, Independent, and other worships were; and the worship that Christ Jesus set up, was in the spirit and in the truth. Now where is this Spirit, and where is this Truth? Is it not within people? So as the Jew outward was to worship in the temple, and there was but that one temple commanded of God to be built, which Christ came to end, who set up his worship in the Spirit and in the Truth so every man and woman in the whole world must come to the Spirit and Truth in their own hearts, by which they must know the God of Truth, who is a Spirit, and feel the Spirit in their own hearts, and in the Spirit of Truth worship the God of Truth, who is a Spirit.

So now, as the Jew outward was to offer his sacrifice in the outward temple, and no where else, which temple is now thrown down, he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, in the Spirit and in the Truth; and so, all ye Jews inwardly, in the Spirit, ye must worship in the Truth and in the Spirit. And so, the Jew inwardly can worship no where but in the

temple. What temple? it is not a temple that is made with hands. The Jews outwardly wor shiped in the temple, that was made with hands; but the Jew inwardly his worship is to be in the Spirit, and in the Truth, and in a temple not made with hands, where the Spirit of Truth is. Know ye not, that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost. And so all ye who are Jews inwardly in the Spirit, let Christ your priest have a chamber in your temple, that He may cleanse your temple, and cast the rubbish out of it, which is come in by transgression, who doth renew you up into the image of God, which Adam and Eve were in before they fell; so that the glory of the Lord may fill your temple.
