A word from the north, sounded into the south, heard, and received of many : Jesus Christ the Son of God, which is the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world; and all that receive this light, and believe in this light, and are obedient to this light, they receive power and do become the sons of God.

Forms the pillars of Antichrist; but Christ in spirit the true teacher of his people; and not tradition : for the spirit of God is not bound to any place, nor time, nor form; we may not limit the holy one of Israel.

And the kingdome of Antichrist is subdued to us, and destroyed in us, by the Spirits teaching. And to him that is led by the Spirits teaching do I commend these to be received, and not to the naturall mans wisdom; ...

Also, a cleer distinction between the minsters of Christ, who are of the seed of Abraham, and the priests of this generation, who are of Ishmaels root; who with the truth are plainly made manifest, by the light of Christ in us, who for the testimony of God do suffer by the sons of Hagar, and this generation of priests in Notwich [sic]: ...

And that people in matters of religion and the worship of God, should rather be instructed and led by the Spirit of the Lord in Gods authority, ...
