testimony to the power and to the truth of the Ministry of Christ, but the false Ministers and Ministry are not such; for their Ministry is received by natural learning and arts and is not the gift of the Holy Ghost, but stands in the wisdom of mans words, and not in the power and life of God, it profits not the people at all, neither doth any come to the knowledge of God thereby, neither is turned from darkness to light; but Teachers and people continues in the power of Satan, and in the unconverted estate, the witness of God not reached to, to bring to the understanding of things which are eternal, but people are ever learning by it, and never coming to the knowledge of the truth; but the blind leads the blind, and like Teachers like People, all out of the way, given to iniquity and unrighteousness, and such are they who preaches for hire, and divines for money, and seeks for their gain from their quarter, and through covetousness by feigned words, makes merchandize of souls, going for gifts and rewards, and reaching for filthy lucre, having settled places and so much a year, these are not the true Ministers of Christ, but false Ministers of Antichrist and deceivers, and was never sent of God, and do never bring any to the knowledge of God, and such we bear witness against to be of the Devil, and that for many generations the world hath been deceived by them who hath had the form of godliness, but not the power, and Christs words and the Apostles words without the life, and they have served themselves and not the Lord Jesus, but now they are made manifest with the true Light which approve the Ministry of God, and disapprove such who are Ministers of Antichrist, and all that are in the light, and walks in the light can receive this testimony which is given by the Spirit of God, to that Ministry which is sent of him, which doth fulfill his will, and against the false Ministry which is not of God, which runs and was never sent of him.
