the things vvhich vve perceive in this corruptible vvorld to be transitory are in the spiritual invvard uncreated world Eternal in Substance and cannot but endure for evermore which if it were considered we should find what all things are for they are to be found within our Souls and with our Inward Eyes and may be plainly seen discerned and known and so the holy Scriptures as we come to a greater measure of the knowledge of the Things not only that they are but what and how they are as this Author teacheth would come to be understood as to all those Mysteries of the Gospel of Christs Eternal Redemption and Salvation which he hath purchased for all Man-kind then which there is not any thing comparably desirably to be known by any of the Sons of Men which are here fundamentally and particularly explained more then in any other Book of the Authors wherein thou wilt find such Mysteries discovered as formerly thou couldst not have believed though one had told thee of them and which thou hast not so clearly understood though thou hast often read of them in the Scriptures And if all Jews Turks Heathens and others not yet true Christians should perceive the Things therein written they would instantly with willing and ready Hearts believe in God aright worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth and know the Only true God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent and then be filled with Joy in the Holy Ghost and love Embrace and highly esteem the understanding of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament which nnot many yet care to be assured they understand them aright by the true knowledg of the Things written of therein Though also the Ground of all Mysteries are in this Book laid open which being apprehended may bring us at length to the full understanding of all that the Scriptures do contein except in what the spirit of God wil conceal as what the seven Thunders in the Revelations sounded forth which yet wil be made known to that soul what those things are that the Spirit wil not yet reveal but that the Father will reserve in his own power till the thing be neer to be accomplished though it may be understood by one or other holy soul in the Nature of the Thing with a Command not to make it known to others yet though we understand things never so perfectly in our Spirits souls heavenly Bodys in our Inward Man we enjoy them inwardly onely in assured hope but not as we shall do neither do we see them as we shall do when we so enjoy them as we do now this world with this outward Body both which wil be changed together at the End and though this body is sown in weakness at the resurrection thereof it is raised in power a spiritual incorruptible immortal Eternal body made conformable to Christs Glorious Body to such as have been partakers of him in this life this will be in that World where all Evil shall be done away first from sticking and adhereing to us as now in and by our Outward Man in this life and them also all corruption being done away as at the change of this world and resurrection of the Body that will be also released from those Clogs of imperfection which now hang on us Outwardly and on this whole now visible world and will do till all Things are separated by the Fire at the last day and every thing shall go to its own Place the wicked into everlasting Torment the Righteous to Eternal Bliss then Corruption shall put on Incorruption and God shall be all in all yet all things will remain to be what they then are though God will be all in Every one of them In the mean time we may attain Perfection in our souls spirits and new heavenly Bodys being therein truly members of Christ in us yet we should bring dovvn our Body dayly and Mortifie our Members that are on the Earth and learn to know how every one of us may justly account our selves even the Chief of sinners finding sin to be out of measure sinful and thereby strive through Godly sorrow to bring forth Indignation in us against it and how sinne dwels though we should not let it reign in our Mortal Bodys to obey it in the Lusts thereof and if by the spirit we thus mortifie the deeds of the Body we shall live for then we bring forth the fruits of the Spirit wherein we are perfect even in this life And because this Treatise will so exceedingly further us in these several divine Considerations let me desire the Reader for his own Benefit to peruse it seriously and he will find as I have done more then now before he read it he can conceive though I viewing my self in the Looking-Glass of my sins may finde just cause to acknowledg myself one of the unworthiest of the Children of Men. 1658. 25. December London John Sparrow The First Chapter Why the Becoming man or Incarnation of Iesus Christ hath not hitherto been rightly understood Also Of the two Eternal Principles and of the Temporary Principle 1. WHen Christ asked his Disciples Whom do the people say that the Sonne of man is They answered Some say thou art Elijah some that thou art John the Baptist or one of the Prophets 2. He asked them and said Whom say ye then that I am 3. Them answered him Peter Thou art Christ the Son of the living God 4. And he answered them and said Of a truth Flesh and Blood hath not revealed that unto thee but my Father in Heaven And upon this he made known unto them his Suffering Dying and Resurrection 5. To signifie that self Reason in the wit and wisdome of this world could not in its own Reason know nor apprehend this Person who was both God and Man 6. But he would for the most part be rightly known only those that would wholly yeild up themselves to him and for his name sake suffer the Cross Tribulation and Persecution who would earnestly cleave to him 7. As indeed it so came to pass then also That even while he conversed visibly amongst us in this world he was least known by the Wise in Reason 8. And though he went up and down in divine VVonders doing Miracles yet outward Reason was so blind and void of understanding that those great wonders were by the wisest in the Arts and Sciences of Reason ascribed to the Devil 9. And as at the time when he walked visibly in this world he remained unknown by the wse in their own Reason so he still remaineth unknown to outward Reason 10. From hence is so much contention disputation and strife arisen about his Person in that outward Reason supposeth it can reach fathome and search out what God and Man is and how God and Man can be one Person 11. Which strife hath filled the circuit and face of the Earth self Reason continually supposing
