now those that have the Scripture and call that their Rule in the which they read of Christ the Light yet the Light they deny and so deny him of whom the Scriptures speak and him unto whom all Power in Heaven Earth is committed and so long as they deny him who is the Light unto whom all Power is committed they cannot receive Power from him to become the Sons of God but they who do receive and believe in him who is the Light unto them he gives Power to become the Sons of God John 1. 12. And now the zealous professing Jews Scribes and Pharisees have the Scriptures but they deny him that is the Light and so they are blind and all those must needs be blind who hate the Light and deny it and so the Jews had the Oracles of God without them and the Law without them and Christ the Son of God without them and among them preaching to them and yet they were deaf and blind and of the Devil for they did his Works And moreover the Disciples of Christ might read the Scriptures without them and they had him in whom was the fullness of God among them with them or without them and yet in many things they understood not John 12. 16. but were often asking Questions as in Mat. 23. 10 36. chap. 16. 22. ch 17. 10 13 19. ch 18. 1 21. ch 19. 10. ch 24. 3. John 13. 7. and some time they knew not what Spirit they were of Luke 9. 55. and though he had been a long time with them yet it was hard for them to know him John 14. 5 6 7 8 9. and though he had been so long time with them consider it was with them for With may be one thing and In another until he had finished the Work without them which the Father gave him to do John 17. 4. Consider the outward Work of Christ without or among the Disciples may be finished and he was at the Passover with them and at the Supper with them and gave his Life for them and they saw his Body broken and his Blood shed without them and yet not withstanding all this afterwards he that is the Light upbraided them of Unbelief and Hardness of Heart Mark 16. 14. who for a long time had the fulness of God amongst and with them who being with them said He that is with you shall be in you John 14. 17. And so they were to wait to receive him within and that within was to abide forever but that without departed away but that within was and is to lead into all Truth and be with his to the end of the World for that which is in man is alwayes with him but that which is with man and not in him may not alwayes be with him And now the Light is in man and so he that is with his to the end of the World is the Light of the World who is the Resurrection and the Life who was dead and is alive and I say he liveth for evermore who hath finished his Work in the outward things to wit Circumcision Baptism the Supper and Death on the Cross without the gate and is now revealed within and worketh all our Works in us and ever liveth to make Intercession for us Isa 26. 12. Heb. 7. 25. in whose Hearts he is now crying Abba Father and he that hath the Son hath also the Father to whom be Eternal Dominion Glory Honour and humble Obedience for evermore And so Christ Jesus being also guided by that of God or rather the fulness of God in him whereby he finished his Work and departed away from among them and bid them wait for that which should abide with them forever and said These things have I spoken unto you being yet present with you but the Comforter whom the Eather will send in my Name he shall teach you all things John 14. 16 25 26. and that which teacheth all things was to be revealed within and until that was come and revealed in them they did not know all things so that that which teacheth all things and sheweth plainly of the Father and abideth forever is to be received within and they in Obedience to his Command did wait and their waiting was not in vain for when the time was fully come they did receive the Promise of the Father which they had waited for and so were filled with the holy Ghost Acts 2. 1 2 3 4. as Joshua was full of the Spirit and in Christ was the fullness of God and Stephen was a man full of the holy Ghost and the Desires of such was That others might be filled with all the Fullness of God Ephes 3. 19. It s not filled with the Scriptures And so they being filled with that which was holy were by that led in the Way of Holiness and with that which was holy in them were they to build up one another Jude 20. and then they spoke the Word of God with Boldness and after the Son of God was revealed in Paul three years after he went up to Jerusalem to see Peter Gal. 1. 16 17 18. and fourteen years after he went up to Jerusalem by Revelation Gal 2. 1 2. And so he did not say he went by the Scriptures or any Command without him but by Revelation and a Revelation is within and that all the Ministers and Disciples of Christ did come to be led and guided by his Spirit that was in them might easily be proved by many undeniable Truths of plain Scripture wereby it might more largely appear that they were all led guided and directed by the one Spirit in them though the Gifts Leadings and Operations of that one Spirit in them was various as may be read 1 Cor. 12. And now most People will grant this before written to be true That all the People of God formerly were led by the Spirit that was in them but that men should now in these dayes be led by the Spirit of Christ in them is by many denyed the which thing chiefly is that which I would a little search into or rather open to thee from that which hath searched me Psal 139. 23. and that according to the Scriptures of Truth if that will be by thee regarded that so it might appear unto all that are not willfully Rebellious against the Light of Christ in their own Consciences and also deniers of plain Scripture by the which I am ready to prove That the People of the Lord and Ministers of Christ were not only led by the Spirit of God themselves but also in their Words and Writings did direct others thereunto saying Walk in the Spirit be filled with the Spirit and Worship God in the Spirit Gal 5. 16. Ephes 5. 18. Phil. 3. 3. John 4. 24. But say the People Though they did walk and direct others to walk by the Spirit yet are not we now to walk by the Scriptures And is not the Scriptures now to be our Rule And
