Habitation Christ Jesus for all Storms and Tempests and Clouds of Darkness and the Tempter with his Temptations you will see without and therefore keep in your Habitation Christ Jesus there you are safe and there you have your heavenly Weapons and Armour to war with him and his Followers that is out of the Truth to wit the Devil whom Christ destroys and his Works and Christ reconciles to God all things in Heaven and in the Earth And so all that be reconciled do seed upon the Milk of the Word by which Word all things were made and by this Word all things are upheld and by this Word all things do increase and by it all things have their Vertue and their Being and Man and Woman comes to feed upon the Vertue of the Creatures and Man and Woman is sanctified by the Word and by the Word all things are sanctified to them by which Word all things are reconciled all things in Heaven and all things in the Earth And so Man liveth not by Bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God And he that reads the Scriptures of Truth and understands them he must have Christ Jesus in him who is the Substance of them For if Christ Jesus be not in you the Apostle saith you are Reprobates And is not Christ the Substance or Body of Divinity And if Men that are unlearned in natural Language and Tongues have Christ Jesus the Substance do not they come to know the Body of Divinity And if natural Men do learn all the natural Tongues and Languages and Arts and Sciences in the Earth at natural Schools can those natural Men receive or perceive the Body of Divinity or things of God without the Spirit of God and Christ in them And if not then what do all the natural Tongues and Languages or natural Arts or Sciences profit natural Men to perceive or receive the things of God by which they learn at Schools or Colleges For the Apostle saith The natural Man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned And again the Apostle saith The things of God knoweth no Man but the Spirit of God So it is clear the things of God are revealed and discerned by the Spirit of God 1 Cor. 2.10 11 14. And the Apostle saith The World by Wisdom knew not God The World by Wisdom knew not God nor yet be their Wisdom do they know God Therefore the Christian's Faith is not to stand in the Wisdom of Men c. by which they do not know God but in the Power of God And the Apostle saith We speak the Wisdom of God in a Mystery even the hidden Wisdom which God ordained before the World to our glory which receives it 1 Cor. 1.21 2.7 And so in the Wisdom of God which was before the World and its Wisdom was the living God is known And the beginning of this Wisdom is the Fear of God and the Fear of God is to depart from Evil. And so True Believers Sanctification to all the true Believers and Christians that are called in Christ by his Grace and Truth Christ is made unto them the Power of God and the Wisdom of God and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption as in 1 Cor. 1.24 30. And now such that are redeemed and sanctified by Christ and he is their Righteousness and their Wisdom which is from Above and above the World's Wisdom that is Below who by their Wisdom do not know God they that know Christ made so unto them witness Christ by whom all things were made and created Such cannot look down into the World after the World's Wisdom nor the natural Man's natural Tongues Arts and Sciences which he learns at the natural Schools and Colleges thereby to know God For by all his natural Parts and his wordly Wisdom the natural Man knows not nor receives not the things of the Spirit of God for they are Foolishness to him And therefore all Men and Women must come to the Spirit of God and to Christ the Wisdom of God if they do know God and the things of God The Apostle saith If any Man be in Christ Jesus he is a new Creature old things are past away behold all things are become new And Christ saih Behold I make all things new 2 Cor. 5.17 Revel 21.5 Are not the old things in the Old Testament and the old Covenant which Christ abolishes and doth away Christ abolishes the outward Priesthood Sacrifices c. under the Law And is not outward Circumcision and all outward Offerings and Sacrifices and the Blood of Bulls Goats Lambs and other Creatures and the sprinkling of their Blood and cleansing with it are not these old things in the Old Testament and Old Covenant abolished and done away by Christ in his New Covenant and New Testament And is not Aaron's Priesthood with his outward Linnen-Garments and other Garments and Bells and outward precious Stones are not all these old things in the Old Covenant abolished and done away by Christ in his New Covenant who is the precious Corner-Stone And were not all the outward Washings and Tabernacles and Sanctuaries and Temples and all the Surplaces and fine Linnen of the Priests Garments in the Old Testament and Old Covenant the old Things which are done away and abolished by Christ Jesus And are not all the Jews Feasts and New Moons and Sabbaths and Holy-Days and Aaron's Priest's Lips which were to preserve Peoples Knowledge and the Priests receiving Tithes and paying Tithes to Aaron are not all these old Things in the Old Covenant and Old Testament held up by the Law which served till the Seed Christ came done away and abolished by Christ And Christ said to his Disciple Learn of me freely ye have received freely give in his New Testament And soall these old Things held up by the Old Covenant and Old Testament which Old Things and Old Covenant is decaied and vanishes and passes away being abolished by Christ Jesus in his New Covenant and New Testament And all that be in Christ are New Creatures and they see Old Things are past away and can say Behold all things are become new to the new Creatures in Christ For to the new Creature Christ is the Offering once for all and his Blood giveth Life in the New Testament and New Covenant and taking Oaths and swearing to the Lord and performing them to the Lord this was in the Old Time in the Old Covenant and Testament and Christ hath abolished that Law and Covenant Whatsoever is more than Yea Yea and Nay Nay cometh of Evil. and those Old Things that were in the Old Time And in his New Covenant and New Testament he saith Swear not at all but let your Yea be Yea and your Nay Nay Whatsoever is more than these cometh of Evil.

before the World began Here the Glory of the Lord will fill every one of your Temples through which you will come to Praise the Lord in your Temple and to offer an Offering in Righteousness in your Temple by the Spirit a Spiritual Sacrifice to God who is a Spirit So here you are a Royal Priesthood offering up the Spiritual Sacrifices And was not the Jew outward to have Fire and Lamps burn always in his Temple And are not the Jews in Spirit always to have the Word which is a Fire in their Temple and the Light of Christ For doth not Christ say Have Oil in your Lamps And were not their Bodies that Lamp And was there not to be Salt in the Jews Temple to season their Sacrifices And so are not you to have always Salt in your selves doth not Christ say so by which you may savour and be seasoned that all your Sacrifices may be seasoned with Salt And you know that the Jews outward were not to offer the Blind the Lame the Unclean and the Halt in their Temple neither are you that be the Jews in the Spirit to offer the Halt the Lame the Unclean nor the Swine nor the Blind but the Spiritual Sacrifice with the Spirit to God who is a Spirit by which Spirit you see and by which Spirit you are made clean and sanctified and are enabled to mortifie that Swinish Nature by which Spirit you come to walk upright not to halt as you walk in the Spirit by the Spirit you come to offer to God the Spiritual Sacrifices And this is the standing Offering in the Temple which Christ your Priest dwells in who ends the Jews Priests that dwelt in their outward Temple and their Temple and ends their Offerings and Sacrifices and the Blood of Bulls and Goats Christ the Offering once for all their Offerings and Christ the Everlasting Covenant ends the first Covenant and Christ the Temple ends the Jews outward Temple where their Offerings and Sacrifices were and the Priesthood and sets up the Royal Priesthood with his Royal Garment his Righteousness that offers to God the Spiritual Sacrifices in the Temple And so Christ ends all the Types Figures and Shadows and variable things that were given to Man since the Fall and held up by the Law which they were not to add to the Law of God nor take from it which stood very nigh Two thousand Years Which Law served till Christ came and was good in its Place and was added because of Transgression when many transgressed the Image of God his Righteousness and Holiness and were fallen from it then the Righteous Law which is Good Holy and Just came a-top of Man and this served till the Seed Christ came with all its Shadows but Christ is come who was the End of the Law for Righteousness sake to every one that believes and in Christ is no Shadow Variableness nor Turning for he was before Shadows were glorified with the Father before the World began who is the First and Last the Beginning and Ending the Top and Corner-Stone the chief Master-Builder the Elect and Precious One whom all the Builders in all Ages rejected that were of Men and by Men and from Men whom the Heirs of the World cast out and could not abide that he should Reign whose Right it is though he be the Foundation of many Generations all the Heirs of the World know not his Generation they that are in the First Birth whose Building is not on Christ the Rock but on the Sand and therefore have their Houses of Religion and Worship so often been beaten down with the Storms of the Sea not being upon the Rock Christ Jesus which is above all the Storms and Tempests in the World and before the Sea was who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and the Root of David and the Lamb of God which takes away the Sins of the World And the Lamb must have the Victory over all that are in the Nature of wild Beasts wild Heifers Doggs Wolves and Horses And is not this a Mystery to you all that the Lamb should take away your Sins that the Lamb should have the Victory over the Doggish Wolfish Heiserish and Swinish Nature in you like Horses or Serpents The Clean and Holy Lamb must have the Victory over all this in you and therefore joyn to him that hath the Victory who is the Captain of your Salvation who bruiseth the Serpent's Head Christ the Seed that is he that breaks the Serpent's Power and crusheth him to pieces destroying him and his Works Here Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords above all Principalities Powers and Thrones is he ascended Who opens and no Man shuts and shuts and no Man opens so he that opens to you by his Light none can shut from you who filleth your Lamps with Oil of Gladness and Christ shuts to all them that deny his Light for they deny him no Man among them then can open and that makes them go together by the Ears about their Worships and Churches and Scriptures and to Persecute one another Though they do profess Christ yet denying his Light they deny him These be Anti-Christs that be against him though they do profess him and such are by the Light condemned that are against the Power of God and the Gospel the Power of God is the savour of Death to them but a savour of Life to them that be in the Life And In me you have Peace says Christ and he gives Peace to them that are in him that no Man can take away But in the World you have Trouble saith Christ that is in Adam in the Fall from Righteousness and Holiness for in Righteousness there is Peace and in Holiness People see God and out of this Holiness they do not see God Concerning who drink the New Wine and who drink the Old and who are the Bottles that hold each And whose Teeth are set an Edge and whose not NOW all that are called Christendom they do profess to believe in the Name of Christ yet look upon them see what a confused Family it is worse than the Turks and Moguls and the Heathen for in the Turks Country there are Jews Christians and Turks and the Turks keep their Sabbath upon the Sixth Day the Jews upon the Seventh Day and the Christians upon the First Day and the Turks doth not Persecute them about Religion but lets them enjoy their Meetings And the Mogul it is said of him That there have been Sixty Sorts of Religions in his Country but he Persecutes none for their Religion but lets them have their Meetings And that all that are called Christendom professing the Name of Christ that they should Persecute one another and tear one another to pieces about Worship and Religion and the Steeple-House which they have given the Title of Church to which is a Title taken from the People and given to an House And that they should persecute one
