that are full of earthly glory c. Here is the earth set above then the Vail is before your eye and you see not the Lord that Spirit nor do you set up Jesus to be Lord by the Holy Ghost But if that eye be open in you that can see through the Vail of earth and all this deal of flesh and darknesse to that which is within the Vail even the Holy One in his Temple him to chuse and set above in your minds Then your eye shall see the Lords anointed and the King in his Glory and he shall rule whose right it is in every heart and your Governous shall be of your selves and all violence shall cease and shakings of Governments the Government being upon his shoulders who is the Prince of all your peace in the great in the small who shall reign in righteousnesse and judge the people with equity for God and not for rewards to whose authority every knee shall bow and every tongue confesse for conscience sake his Name being written in every heart will then be read whose Kingdom is everlasting and in spirit and power he reigns and in spirit is worshipped in Heaven and in Earth who fills all things with the presence of his Glory and his Kingdom is near to all that can believe it s within you saith Christ and he rules where he is not known though not to salvation who is made of the Seed of David after the flesh by the Word of God to all Generations a King for ever according to promise whose Kingdome the eye which the God of this World hath blinded is putting afar off who sees not the Light of his Glorious Gospel though he be not afar off but him in whom all things have life and being either to salvation or condemnation and this is the condemnation that light is come already into the World which men who loves their evil deeds say is to come and so looks for that without who is a Spirit within and therein hath ever reigned more or lesse but now is arising to his day over all the World whose sound is gone out to the ends of the earth and his light ariseth in every heart to life or condemnation and some it leads into rest and others it pricks to the heart and they kick against it and will not have it to rule therein and to this day he is rejected of the builders who is the first born unto God in Spirit blessed over all And now all sorts of people who in truth wait for the Kingdom of God upon earth with that which in you is of him you may all see if you keep that eye single when he draws near who is born of the Spirit and when he is put afar off in his Government here below when you behold in any manner of Authority such a spirit as is for God alone looking to that of God in every man without respect of person or riches and with a single eye seeks to find out where that measure of God is transgressed in any or where it is oppressed by any and with that measure of God in himself seeks to set judgement upon the head of the transgressor and to set free the innocent principle of God in all which will not lead any to evil then is the judgement of God and for God and that of God is set above in all that 's he that 's born of God here the Kingdom of God is near and as this increases so God draws near and his Kingdom increases and that of God in you all will answer thereto and rejoyce thereat which waits for him and that which is upright in every heart shall say that is the Judgement of God and in that Vessel is God on his Throne according to the measure of that Spirit set up in Judgement so is Jesus Lord by the holy Ghost known and bowed to But on the contrary in what place of Authority soever it be in which the Innocent comes for Judgement against the Oppressor who is too strong for him and so seeks to justice to plead his Cause and to deliver the seed of God that is burthened And when he comes his Cause is not heard but is thrust away if not further ensnared because he cannot oppress that of God in him more either by bowing to something of vain Customs or Worships never set up by God nor owned by his witness for Conscience sake Or else because he cannot fire his judgement by feeding a Covetous Spirit which is for Rewards and not for God that he Judges and so the Innocent soul is not relieved at this throne but sent away as an of fender from that place where he should be eased and justified with the judgement of a free spirit for justice sake doth not that of God in you all testifie against this that judgement is here turned backward in that vessel and that Jusus is not Lord therein so the innocent heart is sadned but not saved and the Kingdom of God put afar off and the Scepter of righteousness not seen Wherefore Rulers and People who set up flesh in stead of the holy spirit to rule over you the wills of men the pride and glory of this world or any visible thing here below born after the flesh see what you chuse and what you put afar off and with that spirit you now chuse you will never see the Kingdom of God nor be able to say in truth that Jesus is Lord It s by the spirit of holiness meekness and true judgement and works of righteousness that Jesus is known to Reign and therein stands the sight of his Kingdom and Lordship in every heart in every Court and in every place of judgement to all generations which you deny in chusing the man of this world after the flesh to rule in you or over you therein And yet you say you look for him and thy Kingdom come delay but deny him in the simplicity of his lowly spirit to rule for his own in all as all your Rulers ever did as you have read in words and now may read in deeds the world by wisdom knows not God so that spirit chuses its own to rule but cannot receive him whom you say you look for And how should any one who sees the Kingdom of God and where the simplicity of Christ is above own that Kingdom or worship that spirit and not betray the simplicity of Christ and give his honour to another And if in the meekness of mind you did but weigh this you could not think it so strange why so many at this day who have received the Kingdom of God in his lowly just and righteous spirit chuse rather to suffer death under that spirit of this world then to bow to worship it or confesse that due thereto which belongs onely to Jesus the Lord neither would you say it was obstinacy or contempt of Authority rather to suffer by the will of man then to rob
