three_o commission_n namely_o the_o commission_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n 2_o of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n 3_o of_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o commission_n be_v now_o extant_a in_o the_o world_n though_o not_o accompany_v with_o visible_a sign_n and_o natural_a miracle_n as_o the_o other_o two_o commission_n have_v in_o their_o time_n when_o their_o commission_n be_v in_o be_v yet_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o last_o commission_n that_o god_n will_v ever_o send_v into_o this_o world_n while_o time_n be_v no_o more_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v the_o only_a interpretation_n of_o the_o two_o former_a commission_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n let_v he_o be_v of_o what_o sect_n or_o opinion_n soever_o that_o do_v true_o know_v any_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n only_o notwithstanding_o they_o labour_v so_o much_o after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o yet_o for_o wan●_n of_o a_o commission_n from_o god_n they_o have_v no_o true_a understanding_n of_o any_o one_o principal_a or_o true_a ground_n of_o faith_n for_o all_o that_o they_o do_v of_o that_o nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o very_a strength_n of_o reason_n and_o reason_n can_v never_o true_o know_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o eternity_n because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n that_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n his_o form_n and_o nature_n the_o right_a devil_n his_o form_n and_o nature_n but_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n only_o therefore_o when_o god_n speak_v these_o word_n unto_o john_n reeve_n say_v i_o have_v give_v thou_o understanding_n of_o my_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n above_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n also_o god_n do_v say_v at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o have_v give_v thou_o lodowick_n muggleton_n to_o be_v thy_o mouth_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o have_v give_v we_o two_o to_o understand_v more_o of_o his_o mind_n in_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n do_v at_o this_o day_n that_o be_v more_o spiritual_a knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n because_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o two_o to_o be_v his_o last_o commissionated_a prophet_n and_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v unto_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n those_o great_a mystery_n which_o have_v lie_v hide_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n ever_o since_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o world_n be_v lay_v and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o commission_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n make_v manifest_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o man_n by_o some_o part_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n as_o those_o commission_n aforesaid_a namely_o moses_n and_o jesus_n but_o now_o
glorious_a truth_n that_o shall_v burn_v like_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n in_o they_o that_o despise_v it_o the_o word_n be_v these_o but_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o be_v now_o be_v keep_v

will_v come_v as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n in_o the_o which_o the_o heaven_n shall_v pass_v away_o with_o a_o noise_n and_o the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o heat_n and_o the_o earth_n with_o the_o work_n that_o be_v therein_o shall_v be_v burn_v up_o look_v for_o and_o haste_v unto_o the_o come_n of_o that_o day_n of_o god_n by_o the_o which_o the_o heaven_n be_v on_o fire_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o heat_n a_o threefold_a cord_n be_v not_o easy_o break_v 8_o if_o any_o hypocrite_n shall_v go_v about_o by_o his_o serpentine_a sophistry_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o be_v spiritual_o weak_a those_o say_n of_o peter_n have_v relation_n to_o the_o burn_a up_o of_o the_o carnal_a heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o man_n through_o the_o glorious_a appear_v of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n you_o may_v with_o ease_n confute_v those_o notional_a cheat_n if_o you_o look_v back_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o peter_n say_n the_o word_n be_v these_o know_v this_o first_o that_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n scoffer_n walk_v after_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n for_o since_o the_o father_n fall_v asleep_a all_o thing_n continue_v as_o they_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n for_o this_o they_o willing_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o heaven_n be_v of_o old_a and_o the_o earth_n stand_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o in_o the_o water_n whereby_o the_o world_n than_o be_v overflow_v with_o water_n perish_v 9_o thus_o you_o that_o have_v never_o so_o little_a truth_n of_o the_o true_a jesus_n in_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n in_o this_o threefold_a language_n have_v not_o the_o least_o thought_n in_o he_o concern_v heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v burn_v up_o within_o man_n but_o the_o burn_a up_o of_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o beauty_n virtue_n or_o glory_n thereof_o without_o man_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o man_n handiwork_n why_o because_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n ground_n his_o matter_n upon_o the_o drown_n of_o a_o outward_a earthly_a world_n 10_o moreover_o you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o burn_a up_o of_o a_o visible_a heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o mean_v by_o peter_n why_o because_o the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o that_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n scoffer_n walk_v after_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n 11_o furthermore_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o invisible_a burn_a up_o the_o fleshly_a heaven_n in_o man_n only_o what_o lustful_a man_n in_o the_o world_n will_v have_v scoff_v at_o such_o a_o doctrine_n which_o do_v encourage_v he_o in_o his_o lust_n rather_o than_o discourage_v he_o in_o the_o least_o 12_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o reason_n my_o ground_n be_v this_o because_o by_o lustful_a serpent_n like_o himself_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o christ_n will_v burn_v up_o man_n lust_n and_o save_v all_o their_o soul_n at_o the_o last_o and_o who_o can_v find_v fault_n with_o such_o a_o burn_a doctrine_n or_o wha●_n bloody-minded_a man_n or_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o embrace_v a_o messenger_n of_o such_o tiding_n as_o this_o be_v 13_o again_o you_o may_v know_v i_o have_v write_v the_o truth_n by_o this_o token_n why_o because_o man_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o almost_o all_o manner_n of_o lust_n can_v go_v into_o lumber_n street_n to_o hear_v man_n speak_v much_o concern_v the_o glorious_a income_v of_o a_o spiritual_a christ_n to_o burn_v up_o all_o their_o fleshly_a or_o heavenly_a conceitedness_n that_o they_o may_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o god_n only_o triumph_v on_o his_o throne_n i_o say_v these_o or_o such_o like_a expression_n the_o most_o filthy_a of_o man_n can_v hear_v with_o delight_n 14_o moreover_o if_o you_o that_o speak_v in_o lumberstreet_n or_o else_o where_o shall_v once_o attain_v to_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o spiritual_a speak_n and_o shall_v be_v able_a know_o to_o tell_v man_n of_o the_o sudden_a appear_v of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o glory_n with_o his_o angel_n to_o burn_v this_o visible_a world_n to_o ash_n and_o to_o cause_v the_o spirit_n and_o body_n of_o man_n that_o glory_n in_o filthiness_n to_o burn_v as_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n together_o to_o eternity_n in_o utter_a darkness_n i_o be_o confident_a very_o few_o filthy_a person_n will_v be_v able_a to_o hear_v you_o speak_v twice_o together_o and_o then_o you_o will_v soon_o have_v a_o thin_a congregation_n and_o be_v as_o much_o affect_v as_o man_n be_v with_o we_o for_o what_o we_o speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 15_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n think_v you_o of_o so_o many_o dreadful_a fire_n this_o year_n in_o this_o city_n and_o other_o part_n above_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n i_o know_v with_o astrologian_n sophister_n you_o may_v impute_v it_o to_o planet_n plot_n or_o people_n want_n of_o care_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_n i_o believe_v you_o serpent_n sign-monger_n will_v find_v these_o fire_n come_v not_o mere_o by_o natural_a cause_n but_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n as_o a_o forerunner_n of_o the_o eternal_a burn_v this_o world_n and_o all_o the_o natural_a glory_n therein_o to_o dust_n powder_n or_o dry_a sand_n as_o aforesaid_a 16_o moreover_o you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v bless_a and_o holy_a be_v he_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n for_o on_o such_o the_o second_o death_n have_v no_o power_n 17_o also_o it_o be_v write_v but_o our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n from_o whence_o also_o we_o look_v for_o the_o saviour_n even_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n that_o it_o may_v be_v fashion_v like_o unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n according_a to_o the_o work_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a even_o to_o subdue_v all_o thing_n to_o himself_o 18_o further_n it_o be_v write_v when_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n 19_o my_o belove_a friend_n who_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o pure_a light_n language_n and_o life_n i_o be_o undoubtable_o persuade_v in_o my_o soul_n that_o for_o a_o little_a season_n i_o have_v both_o taste_v and_o see_v within_o my_o spirit_n a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o eternal_a glory_n and_o shame_n to_o come_v than_o any_o creature_n now_o live_v in_o this_o world_n 20_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o and_o the_o continual_a supply_n which_o i_o receive_v from_o that_o fountain_n of_o glory_n i_o know_v that_o the_o most_o eminent_a appearance_n in_o these_o body_n of_o clay_n be_v but_o mere_a shadow_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o glory_n and_o shame_n which_o many_o man_n shall_v possess_v when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v appear_v in_o his_o glory_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n 21_o if_o a_o man_n lie_v under_o the_o power_n of_o any_o lust_n how_o can_v that_o man_n be_v think_v to_o have_v his_o part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n because_o he_o that_o have_v part_n in_o this_o first_o resurrection_n be_v both_o bless_a and_o holy_a 22_o moreover_o do_v not_o a_o first_o resurrection_n include_v a_o second_o resurrection_n how_o then_o can_v that_o man_n be_v think_v to_o

you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n never_o boast_v that_o he_o be_v glorify_v with_o christ_n already_o neither_o do_v he_o expect_v any_o glory_n but_o rather_o continual_a shame_n until_o christ_n
