desolation and pittied the same so exceedingly and lamented there over before the most high so heard I a mighty (a) 3 King 19. Act. 1. a. sound or noise proceeding out of heaven and it rushed like a tempestuous wind with great force over the earth in such wise that the earth was afraid and quaked by reason thereof And many which lay and slept under the earth (b) Ez. 37. Dan. 12. b. 4 Esd 3. d. Ioh. 5. c. 1 Cor. 15. f. 1 Thes 4. l. awaked some to everlasting life some to perpetual contempt and reproach 2. Now I marvelled greatly at this vision and said O God how (c) Isa 17. a Rom. 11. wonderful and incomprehensible are thy works before all understanding of the flesh 3. Behold this miraculous workâ— come to pass among us upon earth because that the Prophecie should be fulfilled (d) Dan. 12. that was said unto Daniel the Prophet in times past come to pass in these last times 4. And I looked and behold Daniel who according to the word of the Lord had rested a long time even until this same last time (e) Dan. 12. stood up and appeared and came unto me in his part and office for to keep and execute the judgement against the abominations of desolation which were grown up on the earth And the Prophesies which according to the word of the Lord had remained (f) Da. 12. b. sealed to all unto this last time were opened and their mysteries revealed in clearness 5. And through this Revelation and opening or declaring of the Prophesies I was greatly afraid For inasmuch as I saw no righteousness of God to have the upper hand upon the earth But that the iniquity did (g) 4 Esd 14 15. a. Math. 24. lord or bear rule generally and Reigned on the earth therefore was greatly perplexed and altogether feeble and comfortless in my self fearing least that I should perish with all the ungodly of the wicked world for the manifold iniquities cause which I beheld so to abound over the whole earth 6. For through the opening of the Prophesies that were sealed too there was revealed unto me that all those that dwelt upon earth were departed away or estranged (h) Psa 14. a Rom. 3. b. from the living God and his truth And moreover before the (i) Isa 29. b. opening of the Prophesies that were sealed up no man upon earth how prudent or wise soever he was had any understanding in God nor yet had learned or understood any of Gods holy knowledge 7. This same seemed before me very terrible yea even to be a very horrible thing to look into because that the misunderstanding or the ignorance touching the Being of God and the ungodlyness had so multiplyed it self upon earth therefore was I very exceedingly afraid and became marvellous faint-hearted and strengthless And I continued lamenting greatly over the same and grew likewise altogether comfortless in my self 8. Now in the time while I was grown thus utterly void of comfort in my lamentation that I made because of the great wrong that I saw upon the earth so did there appear in my sight (k) Dan. 8 9 10. the Angel Gabriel and he came unto me but he continued not with me still in my sight 9. But so long as he was with me and that I beheld him I was comforted by him but when he departed from me and that I saw him not then had I no rest peace or comfort in my soul Also no people on earth could comfort me saving only Gabriel 10. For when he came unto me and talked with me I was of good chear And if Gabriel had not strengthened or comforted me then could I not have remained alive For there was shewed unto me both fearful and wonderful things the like whereof I had never seen or heard before 11. For the dead arose out of (l) Eze. 37. Math. 27. the grave and lived And the ungodly made manifest their own condemnation through their unrighteousness wherein they had lived unrighteously and they descended into the (m) Apo. 9. a 20. b. bottomless pit to their condemnation for evermore 12. I beheld the misery of the ungodly but I could have no compassion to the extending of any remorse or pitty towards them (n) Apo. 18. c but rather rejoyced me for their infelicity and condemnations cause For they were well worthy (o) Ap 16 a of the same because of their wickedness 13. I also rejoyced me greatly (p) 1 Cor. 15. c. Apo. 20. a. in the Resurrection of the righteous because I saw they rose up so gloriously from death and went into the everlasting life And for that their domination was with God and the Lamb for I saw that they were both worthy of that and likewise to Reign upon the earth 14. With these Righteous ones after that they were risen have I spoken and eaten and drunk with them (r) Dan. 12. b Sapl 3. a. Math. 13. c. their bodies glistred like the clearness of the Sun And they have spoken secret things with me namely of the mysticalness of God of the Kingdom of heaven of the true resurrection of the Godly men of their joy in the everlasting life And of the purging of the earth in the judgement of the dreadful Almighty God which cometh over all ungodly (s) Jude 1. Being or nature 15. The which Almighty God hath more made up him self and coming over the earth he cometh (t) Mal 3. a. with righteousness like as the same God hath spoken thereof by his servants the Prophets in times past for to save his people to the end that those which are worthy of the Life might live for evermore and so may reign everlastingly upon (u) Apoc. 5.16 18 19 20. the earth in all love Also for to damn those in the everlasting death which are not his people who for their wickedness cause are worthy of damnation and of death To the end they may no longer reign upon the earth with their unrighteousness But that they might be banished or put away from the earth and damned and buried in the hell and that the bottomless Pit may even so with them be shut up and their condemnation to endure for ever and ever The third Chapter WHen as I now beheld such a calamity of the deadly or damnable estate hanging over the children of men for their sins cause and that such a dreadful judgement (a) Heb. 10. c of the Fires vehement cruelty was coming unto them to a suppression of the enemies of God And that such an unfortunate state of misery the which the Lord hath also let me see taste and feel hung over their heads Then was I sore grieved and afflicted in my heart in such sort that I became exceedingly dismayed or uncased and could well have vouchsafed that there had been no man upon the earth because of the wo and grief which I saw

Luk. 3 a in true repentance for their sins and the horrible plagues of ungodlyness which are (o) Apo. 18. a come over the world for the sins cause might cease 55. O God let us now find grace before thine eyes like as in times past the (p) Ioh 3. b City of Nineveh did on the which thou shewedst mercy that we do not all perish (q) 4 Esd 2 2 Pet 2. a like unto Sodom and Gomorrah for our sins are become many and grown to be (r) 3 Esd 8. b abundant even beyond all measure 56. O Lord and God O heavenly Father give ear I beseech thee to the crying of the poor (s) Psa 25.27.86 b and lead us in thy wayes gather us together on thy pathes and unite our hearts into (t) Col. 3. b one band of Love (u) Ioh. 17. c as one in all and all in one with love equity and righteousness and cleanse our (x) Psa 51. b Eze. 36. minds from all ungodly being or nature and destroy or break in sunder (y) Psa 1.33 all ungodly counsel that iniquity may not raign for ever 57. For wherefore should the darkness possess thine inheritance and still unhallow and lay wast thy holy place Temple or Tabernacle Should the house of the Devil also still be builded and thy house and holy city continue waste and ruinated more and more 58. O God behold how that the (z) Isa 64. c dwelling of thy Sanctuary lyeth overthrown and destroyed for in thy Temple (a) Lam. 4. Matth. 24. a Luk. 19. c there is not one stone that remaineth standing one upon another but are all broken and scattered from each other and upon the holy place of thy Sanctuary are now the (b) Dan. 9. Matth. 24. Mark 13. b abominations of desolation raigning 59. O Jerusalem Jerusalem thou City of Peace of the great and mighty King how art thou grown (c) Lam. 1 2 3 4. now to suppression and contempt when shalt thou yet O thou holy City be repaired or (d) Isa 58. c 61. a builded up again to an everlasting stability and receive thy peaceable children of Israel into thy dwelling 60. O Sion thou hill of pure Beauty when shall thy contempt as also the Heathens deâ—iding thee have an end And when shalt thou O forsaken one be comforted again to (e) Isa 49 5â— 66. the end that thou which hast a long time been unfruitful mightest become fruitful again and that thy dried up brests might give forth their milk again (f) Isa 61. â—â— that Kings might suck thy brests the Counsel Lords learn thy peace thy children dwell at Jerusalem and rejoyce their in thee O Sion 61. But when as I now O Jerusalem and Sion do think upon thy contempt and suppression then doth my soul suffer (g) La. 1.2 c great sorrow and grief for thy sake and mine eyes gush over with tears for very pitty and compassion sake towards thee that thou hast so long time layn wast and supprest 62. But when I think upon the Promises touching thy restoring and upon (h) Isa 54.60 61 62. the garnishing of beauty which is coming unto thee O Jersusalem and Sion in holyness and righteousness and that thy children shall be taught by the (i) Ier 31. d Ioh. 6. a Lord then doth my soul refresh or comfort her self a little 63. For the Law shall (k) Isa 2. a Mich. 4. a proceed out of Sion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem He shall come from thence which shall turn away (l) Isa 59. Rom. 11. Ioel 2 3. ungodlyness from Jacob that the children of Iacob may have their dwelling at Jerusalem for ever according to the Promises 64. For the Lords Election is at Jerusalem (m) Psa 78.87 Isa 2. Mich. 4. and even there upon the Hill of Sion hath God foreseen him an holy house which shall be exalted above all hills or high places because that his name may still be worshipped there and that (n) Isa 56. a Mal. 1.3 a his offering may alwayes and for evermore be offered there for his house which he hath chosen to himself is (o) Mat 21. b a house of Prayer and of holy offering 65. An upright mind towards thee in our inwardness (p) Psa 34.51 Isa 57.66 A contrite heart and a lowly spirit shalt not thou O God despise For thou wilt enter into the same also make thy (q) Ioh. 14. c dwelling even there and sanctifie thy name from generation to generation for evermore it is very true Take it to heart Charitas extorsit per H. N. FINIS Of the Eight VERTVES OR Godlynesses whereout all Vertues or Godlynesses do proceed or spring 1. MY beloved Here have I out of the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ witnessed and set forth unto you eight Vertues or Godlynesses and possess or endow you therewithal or leave the same â—â—…â—nd for you as a good Testament to a perpetual Memorial oâ— Remembrance Deut. 30.31 2. For that cause is also my exhortation heartily unto you all that ye would continually with diligence give your endeavor to ensue or follow after the same eight Vertues or Godlynesses and to exercise your selves therein obediently and even so according to the requiring of the holy and gratious word of the holy Spirit of the Love of Jesus Christ Psal 83. Eph 4. Col. 3. proceed and grow forth from the one Vertue or Godlyness unto another For out of the same eight Vertues or Godlynesses proceedeth or springeth all upright righteousness love and peace 3. For that cause let all your exercise be for to live and and walk in the same going forth from the one Vertue or Godlyness into another Deut. 4.30 31. Psal 83. till unto the perfectest 4. The first Vertue or the beginning of the same eight Vertues or Godlynesses is the Lust Pleasure or the Will of the Lord. 5. For which Lusts cause 1 Cor. 13.1 or Will of the Lord because the same might obtain an essential shape in you ye shall altogether forsake Math. 16. Mark 8. hate and leave all your own lusts pleasures and will and give over your selves wholly to the Lust or Will of the Lord Luk. 9 14. Ioh. 12. Math. 26.39 Mark 14.36 Luk. 22.42 and to the Elders or dayed-ones in the same for to live and walk obediently only according to the Lords Lust or Will according to the Ordinance of the Elders or dayed-ones in the same for to live walk obediently only according to the Lords lust or will according to the Ordinance of the Elders or dayed-ones in the same 6. When ye now
of Art But that they would become all of one minde with us in the Love to the end that every one might likewise through the Love be partaker with us of the Grace and mercy which God is now extending on us little and poor ones through his Love 8. For unto us doth God reveal the health and life of our salvation out of his heavenly being and hath called and chosen us thereunto because that we should be his ministers in his Love to the eâ—d to reveal even so through us under the service of obedience in the Love his secret mysteries according to the Law according to the Prophesying of the Prophets and according to the Godly Word of the Gospel of Jesus Christ 9. (d) Act. 2. b. All which former services have to a unity under the Love Prophesied on this time and service of Love for that the glory of God might be great in the last time through the Love And so the Peace become prepared on earth according to the Promises 10. Therefore let no man have his regard bent either to the method or artificial skilfulness or yet to the unskilfulness of Art But unto that whereunto our service of the gratious Word extendeth namely to the Love and to let every one become assembled with us into one Spirit of the lovely being under the obedience of the Love that the service of Love may to an unity of peace be spread abroad over all the world 11. For that cause O yee single-minded good willing ones to the righteousness apply you all with a good will and an humble heart to the Love and her service And (f) Act. 2 d. permit your selves to be baptized or washed in the name of the Love to the forgiveness of your sins that ye may even so be renewed refreshed and reformed through the Love and her service Suffer not in any wise (g) Math. 18. a. Io. 3. a. the deceitful slights nor the wicked thoughts to have any dwelling place in you But through the service of Love and of the gracious Word become you turned about to the obedient and little children that the Love may be planted in you with meekness 12. Unto this same service of Love see that ye become all agreeably minded For it shall all perish and consume away to nothing namely all manner of knowledge and God-services which are come or risen up before this day or light of the Love (i) 1 Cor. 13 b. But the Love shall not perish nor yet cease but their service shall continue for ever 13. Whosoever likewise do not assemble them under the love they shall be scattered abroad For the Love is the Light of the world (k) Ioh. 8. b. whoso follows after her walketh not in darkness 14. The Love is the gracious word of the Lord or (l) Ioh. 6. f. bread of Life which is come unto us out of heaven For the Love is essentially the very true good (m) 1 Tim. 1. a. the head-sum of the commandment (n) Col. 3. b. and the bond of perfection 15. Through which Love the secret Treasures of God the Father (o) Eph. 1. b. 2. a. b. and the abundant Riches of his spiritual and heavenly goods be revealed 16. Whosoever then doth not apply himself to the Love but refuseth her or despiseth her service and is grown self-wise or self-minded against the same by means of his aspiring or loftie knowledge such a one remaineth a Bastard or a Stranger from the inheritance of God and cannot also inherit the Riches of Christ 17. But the children of Love are the upright heirs of God For they are of a good nature and disposition namely (p) Col. 3. a. meek-minded loving and peaceable 18. Even such be all those likewise which do with humble hearts submit them under the Love and are obedient to the requiring of her service 19. And though they be laden with many sins (q) 1 Ioh. 1. yet are their sins forgiven them and blotted out through the Love and in their repentance for their sins they walk with a good conscience both before God and men 20. Behold such is the service or office of the Love The Almighty God vouchsafe to enable and strengthen us thereunto through his Love Amen THE FIGURE Of the true and Spiritual Tabernacle of God Witnessed and Figured forth by H. N. according to the true being or form of the inward Temple or House of God and that in every respect according to thar form even as the very essence or being thereof was by the holy Spirit of the Lord revealed and declared unto him out of the heavenly Truth The first Chapter FOrasmuch as my inclination had a long time stood bent towards the service of Love And that I had longed even with a fervent desire that the true God-service might once flourish out of the Love namely to the peace and salvation of all people and to a true declaring of the spiritual Tabernacle of God in the holy of his holy ones Therfore became the true Tabernacle or (a) Lev. 26.26 b 2 Cor. 6 b. Apoc 21. a. habitation of God by grace out of the Love of God the Father revealed unto me in the Spirit through Gods heavenly revelation to the end that I should consider of or note therein the true God-service which serveth to the blessing of the earth and to the peace salvation of all people 2. In the which I at the first thought not upon the noting or marking of any thing else but only of the most holy and most pure being (b) Ex 26 d. 40. a b. c. Heb. 9. a the mercy seat and the Ark of the Covenant together with the manifold glorious riches and sumptuous garnishing All which I beheld in their pure and perfect beauty 3. Through which Revelation proceeding out of the heavenly being I rejoyced me far beyond measure But there came not into my remembrance so presently at the first to consider or note the holy and his daily offering or God service and the fore front nor yet the service of the Levites and Priests 4. But when I once remembred the holy of the same Tabernacle and his service of the holy offering extending to the forgiveness of sins then turned I my self to the same for to behold the daily offering for God-service ministred therein because I might see and also understand the daily offering in the holy and the Altar whereon the debt-offering sin-offering death-offering is offered burnt to a forgivness of sins 5. I also noted the fore-front the which is a difference (c) Eze. 44. a. b. betwixt the holy of the Tabernacle of God and the unholy of the uncircumcised heathen-ship 6. In which forefront the Levites and Priests in their service and in their requiring of the righteousness are to (d) Ex. 27 c Lev. â— b Num. 16. b Eze. 43 44 prepare the daily offering betwixt the holy and the unholy
betwixt the circumcised and the uncircumcised whereby the Believers might have a free entrance into the God-service used in the holy for to offer up holy offerings such as are delightful unto God 7. Now then did I also call to mind the Levites and the Priests (e) Ioel 1. b 2. b. which ought to have their daily God-service for the assisting of the little and weak ones betwixt the fore-front and the Altar of the self-making offering in the holy for to reveal and make known unto the Believers the free entrance into the holy and in the same service daily to inform or train up the people which give over them selves thereunto with the word of the holy understanding till that the service of God in the holy be in that sort in full and due manner executed or performed namely that the death-offering as well as the sin offering be quite and clean burnt or consumed upon the Altar in the holy 8. Through which service and accomplishment of the death offering in the holy (f) Matth 27 Mark 15. the vail that is before the most holy departeth away or is put off Into which most holy only the High Priest doth (g) Exo 30. Lev. 16. Heb 9 10. b. enter and revealeth the mercy Seat the everlasting forgiveness of sins and doth cleanse it all in the holy through his blood of the New Testament The which is the Love the flood of the everlasting life and the eternal day-light of the cleerness of God and also the uncovering of the face of Christ 9. Behold when as I now bent my self to consider hereon and began advisedly to look into the same then found I that both the holy and the fore-front were utterly laid (h) Psal 74.79 a. Eze. 5.22 23 24. wast and despised and trodden under foot by the heathen or uncircumcised ones and the Altar appointed for the service of a daily (i) Dan. 7 8 9.4 Esd 10. 1 Mac. 2 3 4. Rom. 11. a. offering in the holy was altogether defiled 10. I also beheld that the holy City of Jerusalem lay (k) Isa 64 c. Lam 1.2 a. brokeâ— down and destroyed Sion as a widdow or like one forsaken and Israeâ— dispersed and captivated among alâ— people and that the (l) Psal 79. a. Lam. 5 a. strangers inhabited Israels inheritance the lands lying about Jerusalem And in the holy place I saw nothing but (m) Dan. 9.11 c. Math. 24. b. abomination of desolation 11. The (n) Dan. 11 12. 4 Esd 10. c. daily offering had also ceased a long time for which cause likewise there was no daily God-service in the holy 12. Moreouer I saw not in the fore-front nor yet in the holy any (o) 3. King 19. b. Rom. 11. a. Levites or yet Priests for to Minister the office to the preparing of the offering betwixt the fore-front and the Altar 13. For which cause sake of the abomination of desolation I saw no free entrance into the holy for to offer the sin offering in the holy And so by that occasion there chanced likewise no forgiveness of sins 14. When I now beheld that all these holy things were thus grown to ruine or laid wast (p) Lam. 1 2 3. Dan. 8. 4 Esd 10. it grieved me sore and I lamented greatly for the Sanctuary of the holy offering namely the holy with his holy and safe-making service the which the heathen or the uncircumcised (q) Psal 79. a Lam. 5 a. that were come into the Lands heritage had utterly polluted and laid wast 15. Which heathen or uncircumcised ones have not also in any true manner understood the holy God-service of Israel Howbeit seeing they have presumed to busie themselves about the same also enterprised and taken it upon them so have they even everywhere polluted and made it desolate with (r) Eze. 28. Dan. 9. abominations And for that cause did I lament most chiefly the holy and his daily offering 16. In that now I did most of all lament the holy of the Tabernacle of God and his holy and safe-making service it was doubtless therefore namely because I perceived that the same holy was so utterly laid wast that there was no true offering or service of the holy or safe-making offering used therein and for that the arrogancie (s) Ezek 44. a of the heathen or uncircumcised ones had with their iniquity and abominations gotten the upper hand in the same and had destroyed it all laid it desolate or waste which desolation and abominations of the uncircumcised did so exceedingly trouble and grieve me that I could not pacifie my self in my bewailing and lamenting that came over me touching this abomination of desolation For I saw that there could no reconciliation nor forgiveness of sins come to pass but through the daily offering or God-service in the holy and the sin did still daily augment or grow to a great increase or multiplying 17. Because of this abomination of desolation and for that the daily offering was ceased by reason of the sins (t) 4 Esd 14 15 Math. 4. b. which had so abundantly increased And also for that I saw no end or going under of the sin therefore became I even through great grief of heart crying out unto God and said 18. O Lord Lord when wilt thou according to thy promises gather together again and be gracious unto thy people Israel and bring them unto their Rest And when shall I beseech thee thy holy (u) Mat. 2. b Tabernacle be consecrated and cleansed from the abomination of desolation 19. For seeing now that the holy and the fore-front of thy Tabernacle is thus utterly laid waste Also that thy daily offering hath ceased for a time and that into those places the (x) Dan. 9. b abominations of desolation are come or entred where through likewise the iniquity is grown exceeding great and abundant so goeth it therefore doubtless very evil and lamentable with thy people 20. Forasmuch as Jerusalem lyeth waste or overthrown Sion sitteth as a widdow or as one forsaken And that thy holy Temple hath not his declaring or clearness upon the Mount Sion within Jerasalem therefore doth not thy salvation O God appear or shine thereout The sin also is not put off or done away (y) Isa 19. c. Rom. 11. c. nor the ungodlyness debarr'd or put away from Jews 21. For that cause likewise there cometh to pass no (z) Heb. 9 b forgiveness of sins there nor yet any cleansing of the spotted conscience for the belief or faith (a) Act 15 b Rom. 8. a. whereby one is justified from the sin is (b) Jer. 7 c. taken away from the earth And the iniquity encreaseth more and more even unto the very worst (c) 4 Esd 14. b. 15. a. Math. 24. b for it hath gotten the upper hand And we find no refreshing or shaking in our souls The second Chapter THe whilest I thus beheld this state of
him (s) Psa 100. Heb. 7. c. and it shall not repent him that he shall continue a Priest for ever They (t) Psa 102. Isa 51. a. Heb. 1. b shall all become old and become changed like a garment But (u) Psal 45 Heb. 1. a. his seat as is aforesaid endureth and continueth from everlasting to everlasting it is very true The sixth Chapter FOrasmuch now as that that God which dwelleth in the heavens is through his bountiful Love a revealing of the holy things unto us out of an heavenly revelation in his service of Love therefore have we the more assured confidence on the same service of Love which very true service is now in the last time come unto us for to minister to a blessing and salvation of those men which are good of will to the end that they should all assemble them thereto For the love in her service is the (a) Mat. 24. Luk. 17. d. bait or prey whereunto the Eagles shall resort and assemble and that to a unity in one band of the Love 2. For it shall now whatsoever in the Love loveth the peace and the righteousness assemble or come to the service of the Love and concordably incline them unto the same for it is unpossible that it should bide back but that in those dayes it shall all namely all whatsoever loveth righteousness and hath intended peace and love joyn it self to one and not refuse to have or use the unity in the Love with us 3. Seeing that all my longing standeth towards the same therefore hath my heart seldom any rest by reason of my longing towards the same and for that the godly Baite namely the right and true service of Love might have his ministration and declaring everywhere whereby all Eagles which hunger and thirist thereafter might assemble them thereto For thereunto doubtless shall all those which love or stand affected unto righteousness become assembled and comprehended or knit in one Band of the Love with us 4. They shall also give themselves thereunto good-willingly if they do but hear of such an assembling and unity in the Love and that see into know and Credit the same let them be wheresoever they are or whosoever they be whether the Jews Christians or Mahometans heathen or of what generations nations sects factions or religions soever they be they shall all mutually for the righteousness and peaces cause submit themselves with us under the Love Because that they might every one be incorporated to the upright (b) Ro. 11. b stock of life to the laud and (c) Eph. 1. b. praise of the glory of the living God 5 Which glory of God God hath prepared for himself now in the last time in the service of his love to the spreading abroad of his great name (d) Mal. 1. b for that his holy name may be known and magnified universally 6. Before or in the presence of which service of Love (e) Psal 31. b all blasphemous tongues must become dumb all wickedness grow ashamed and all pride submit it self to the end that all that feareth God loveth his Promises and hopeth thereon may allow of or consent unto the office or service of Love and assemble them to the Concord of our commonalty 7. For the service of love only shall flourish under the which likewise all understanding shall to an obeying of the requiring of the said service of Love give it self (f) 2 Cor. 10. a. captive to an unity of peace and to an incorporating unto the vertues in all Love 8. Through which discerning of the upright and true se vice and of the assembling of the upright hearts to the same I have figured forth or witnessed with these present writings and testimonies the true Tabernacle of God and his services ministred under the obedience of the Love of Jesus Christ according to the life even as the same is by Gods grace revealed unto me because that we might all of us according to the spirit come to that (g) Rom. 12. a one manner of God-service of (h) Luk. 1. g. upright righteousness which God â—egardeth also that all people which according to the spirit are (i) Eph. 2 4. strangers and ignorant touching the true God and his service might look into the same also come to (k) 1 Tim. 2 a. the knowledge of the truth and be converted to the Love and her service whereby to walk in all love (l) Eph. 4. a. as children of peace and as peaceable brethren 9. But not in misnurter and disorderliness according to the manner of the uncircumcised heathen nor in contention through self-wisdom or Scripture-learnedness nor yet in disputing concerning the circumcision or baptism but in all discreetness and orderlyness of the upright life according to the true circumcision (n) Ier. 4 a Rom. 2. c Phil 3. a Col. 2. b. which cometh to pass in the heart the which is in laying away of the sin in the flesh and according to the true baptism of the (o) Math. 3. b Rom. 6. a Col. 2. b. holy Ghost which cometh to pass in the spirit in a new life of the true minde full of all Love 10. Therefore respect now well the upright Judgement in your hearts For all hearts shall now in this last time (p) Luk. 2. d become manifest 11. There shall also be found but one manner of heathen-ship foreskin or uncircumcision And all hearts of the heathen or uncircumcised being without Jerusalem and Gods sanctuary and without the commonalty of Israel or of Christ let them then hold what God-services they will shall through the foreskin of the sinful flesh appear manifestly to be uncircumcised and to stand captivated with the disobedient knowledge (q) Isa 52. a Eze. 44 b Of such uncircumcised ones there shall not one come into the sanctuary 12. In like manner there shall also be found but one manner of circumcision Baptism (r) Isa 56. a Eze. 37. c. Ioh. 10. b and house of Israel or Christ and all the Saints or holy ones of God that are of the house of Israel or Christ shall walk under the obedience of the Love and have their fellowship with us within Jerusalem the (s) Apo. 21. a holy City of God from heaven 13. And the same likewise shall be one manner of Tabernacle of God or house of the Lord wherein Gods light (t) Apo. 21. c Isa 60. yea he himself shineth as a light and cleerness unto his people Israel because that they all may even free without anguish and without fear walk peaceably in his light 14. From whose hearts (u) Isa 25 a 2 Cor. 3 b the foreskin of the sinful flesh and of the disobedient darknesses shall be put away for the light that ariseth over Jerusalem according to the promises (x) Is 60 a. c shall shine about them all Whereunto likewise all people that have a lust to Israels God
