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. And in the New Covenant and
is the midst of them the Prince of Life and Peace and Captain of Salvation and a Prophet to open the Book of Couscience Christ the Prince of Life and Captain of our Salvation and the Book of the Law and Prophets and Gospel and his Book of Life to them and a Bishop to oversee them and a Heavenly Shepherd to feed them in his Heavenly Pasture of Life and a Heavenly King to rule in their Hearts and in his glorious Kingdom amongst them that are born again and that seeth and entereth into his Everlasting Kingdom of Righteousness Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost And all these Children in the Kingdom and in the New Covenant of Grace Light and Life cannot feed of any Bread for their Immortal Souls that is made by Man which he hath heavened with the sowre Leaven for that sowre leavened Bread will make their Hearts to burn and the Jews were not to keep their Feasts with leavened Bread in the old Covenant The Jews in Spirit keep their Feast with unleavened Bread from Heaven then much more the Jews in the Spirit in the new Covenant who hath their Bread from Heaven their unleavened Bread who in the new Covenant doth keep their Feast with unleavened Bread from Heaven and cannot feed their Souls with any Bread but that which cometh down from Heaven and this Bread from Heaven giveth Life to the Soul and is the Staff of their heavenly Life this heavenly Bread as the outward Bread is the Staff of the natural Life in this World that must have an end but the Bread from Heaven is the heavenly Staff of Life that doth nourish up into a heavenly Life and a World and a Kingdom that is without end And such as feedeth on this heavenly Bread cannot feed their Souls with any Bread below that which comes from Heaven for it doth not give them Life So that they can neither touch taste nor handle that which is below which perisheth for the Breaa of Life from Heaven doth not persh but giveth Life Eternal and this Bread is sure and they that feedeth upon it shall hunger no more So all Eyes are to look up to Heaven for this Bread of Life which giveth them Life and not below Heaven for neither are they to follow them that crieth Lo it is here and lo there or to drink of their Cup that are whored from the Spirit of God nor to eat of their leaveneed Bread for they that do believe in the Light which is the Life in Christ are grafted into him the true Vine So the Believers do feel a living Spring springing up in them to Eternal Life True Believers drink of the Spring of Eternal Life from the Fountain from whence it cometh And so here all the true Believers have the upper and the nether Springs in themselves and such may drink freely and eat freely of the Bread and Water of Life and doth hunger and thirst no more but eat and drink that which is Eternal which nourisheth them up to Eternal Life and so beareth Heavenly Spiritual Fruits to the Praise of the Eternal God which Plants he hath watered by his upper and nether Springs which Trees or plants their Fruits are unto Holiness and their End is Everlasting Life So none of the Children of the New Covenant need go to the World for Bread or Water to give them Life Everlasting to keep them from the World's Storms or Weapons to defend their Church or Worship for they have them from Heaven and heavenly Bread and Water and Spiritual Weapons and Armour and the Righteousness of Christ the fine Linnen their Cloathing Glory to the Lord for ever who makes all his spiritually Rich and to be Lenders and not Borrowers and Givers and not Receivers which is more blessed than the Receiver And the Jews in the old Covenant were to wash their Cloaths and to sanctifie themselves when they did appear before the Lord and so are the Children of God in the New Covenant of Life Light and Grace who do appear before the Lord God's Children are to put on the Righteousness of Christ are to be washed and cleansed and sanctified and to put on the Righteousness of Christ their fine Linnen that never will wax old and so to put off all the Old Adam's Garments that he hath covered himself and his Sons and Daughters with in the Fall and Transgression which will wax old and rot but that which God and Christ doth put on and cloath his Saints withal is Everlasting So Man's Righteousness and his filthy Rags must be put off and they must come into the Righteousness of Christ and put it on which doth exceed the Righteousness of the Law if they do enter into the Kingdom of God which doth stand in Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost Now in the Old Testament it 's said The Priests Lips is to preserve the Peoples Knowledge But the New Testament saith Christ is the Treasnre of Wisdom and Knowledge That Christ is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge The Old Testament saith That you must offer your Sheep Goats Bulls and Heifers and other Creatures which God commanded by the Law in the Old Testament for your Sins and cleansing But the New Testament saith That Christ is offered up once for all And the Old Testament saith That the Blood of Bulls and other Creatures cleanseth from Sin But the New Testament saith That Christ's Blood cleanseth from all Sin And in the Old Testament it 's said You must carry your Offerings and First-Fruits and Tithe to the Store-House But the New Testament saith Freely you have received freely give and forbiddeth Bag or Staff And in the Old Testament the Priest was to light the Candles and Lamps in the Tabernacle and Temple and to circumcise the Men-Children But the New Testament saith And enlightens his People with his Light and Life Christ doth enlighten every Man that cometh into the World with his heavenly Light which is the Life in Christ the Word and the Spirit of Man is the Candle of the Lord So he doth enlighten the Candle and Lamp in the Tabernacle and saith Believe in the Lght that ye may become Children of the Light and Christ doth minister the Circumcision in the Spirit that putteth off the Body of the Sins of the Flesh that came upon Man and Woman by Transgression So that the Children are the Circumcision of the Spirit in the New Testament and not of the Flesh and Letter as they were in the Old Testament And in the Old Testament it 's said That the Priests put the Testament and the Law and the Pot of Manna into the Ark in the Tabernacle and Temple But in the New Testament God poureth out of his Spirit upon all Flesh in the new Covenant God poureth out of his Spirit upon all Flesh and the Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son into the Hearts of his
