an ear to hear let him hear and he that understandeth not nor knoweth this is yet under his own hour and power of darknesse Understand therefore that the manifestation of the will of God is in and through the Light wherewith you are lightned which cometh from Christ the true light of the world which lightneth every man that cometh into the world unto which Light in all your consciences your minds must be subject you must wait upon God with your minds in the Light your hearts turned to it that you may witnesse the power of it ruling and reigning in you and working through every Member of your mortal bodies bringing your wils under it and subduing and subjecting your affections to it this is the true Crosse of Christ Jesus to take up the Crosse and to walk in Crosse unto your wills and affections which take up Images and take delight and pleasure in Pictures and imaginary likenesses of the Crosse of Christ Jesus and to walk as quickned Members in crosse to your whole life as it now stands in the nature and lust of uncleanness sin and death in the enmity to the Life and power of God and mystery of Godlinesse in crosse to your foolish airy childish vanities of Beads Bracelets and other Traditional Superstitions and Idolatries which things are but the signification of folly and childishnesse in the first nature which receiveth not the knowledge nor things of God the Light also wherewith you are lightned Eph 5.4 must guide your minds and stay your hearts and thoughts upon God and lead you also in crosse unto the Lightness and wickedness of your lives which stand in the pleasure of vain jesting and idle foolish talking Rom. 13 13. in surfeiting and drunkennesse in chambering and wantonnesse strife and envying in the ground of all manner of sin iniquity and mischief which produces and yields the fruits of lying swearing pride covetousness cheating and defrauding adulteries and whoredomes dissimulation robberies and desperate murders even in that evill and cursed ground where man is droven from the presence of God under the power of the agreement of Hell and death alienated and estranged from the Covenant of Life yoaked under blindness and chayned with the blackness of darkness shut out of the Garden of pleasure and Paradice of God where nothing can restore the losse which came by transgression but the power of the Cross of Christ Jesus which worketh death to the disobedient and carnall There is none other entrance now unto the tree of Life which he that eateth not thereof dyeth in and perisheth unto everlasting death but through the flaming sword which is set at Edens gates Gen 3.24 to keep the way of the Tree life Can your eye read or your ear hear for your hearts to receive this ye vain scoffers at the Saints entrance into the holy City and Paradise of God You are witnesses to your selves that your Inheritance is not in the Kingdome of Heaven which is like unto a grain of Mustard-seed Math 13.31 which also is likened unto an Onion seed whose perfect fruit being taken out of the natural earth yet quickly perisheth not but prospereth yielding growth from the body of the root more than all roots of the earth This is the work of Life the Cross which neither is likeness imitation nor Image of the things or nature of death but the mighty power of God which bringeth death unto death which hath passed over all men Rom 5.10 12. and reigneth over all men from Adam unto Moses even over all that have sinned who have not known Moses although their sin hath not been after the similitude of Adams transgression from lost Adam therefore unto Moses you must come to witness an entrance into Moses his house in whom was revealed the hope of the promise that should come to passe which also is come in power Rom 8.4 in the substance to them In whom the righteousnesse of the Law is fulfilled who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit who have seen the Prophets day and are come through the work of Johns cry in the wilderness Math 3.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. who are no more of the flesh as in the flesh working the works of the flesh but through the death of the Crosse are buried in the separation from the worships words and works of the first nature risen and born unto Life unto the inheritance of Redemption and Justification into the unchangeable Kingdome of the word of the Covenant where he that is least is greater then John the Baptist Math 11.11 who was the greatest Prophet borne of women and thus being passed and translated from death to life not as any longer under the power of sin are partakers of the Elements or subject unto the carnall Ordinances are altogether under and one with the power of the ministration of life in the communion of the Eternall body of the Lord and from your superstitions and Images and nature of iniquitie and transgression by the power of the Crosse of Christ Jesus ye must be changed through obedience to the motions of the Light in all your consciences into the Image of the glory of the second Adam who is the Lord from Heaven if ever ye shall come to witnesse a hope which will not wither to be Joyned unto the heireship of the promise of the Inheritance of the kingdome which Covenant was made only with Abraham and with the seed of Abraham born of the free-Woman Gen 22.16 which by the one Everlasting Oath of God is confirmed unto all that by the blood of sprinkling are entered into the City Heb 12.22 Rev 22.15 where not any thing that is defiled can come for without is the curse even over as many as stand in the ground without the compasse of the fence of the Paradice of God where are dogs and sorcerers and whore-mongers and murderers and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lye Repent Repent therefore the mighty day of the Lord God is at hand wherein he will sift the Nations as with the five of equitie and fanne the Inhabitants of the earth with the winde of his wrath and through all Nations will make an equall separation in Righteousnesse the Chaffe from the Wheate the Drosse and Reprobate from the refined Silver the just from the vile him that feareth God from him that feareth him not A day of woe to the wicked and of vengeance to the workers of iniquitie in which cometh to passe the Revelation of the Wrath and Indignation of God which is even ready to be revealed in flames of burning fire against all the ungodly A day of howling to the sonnes of Sodome and of everlasting lamentation to the daughters of Gomorrha Strength shall not defend you nor Art deliver you where then will you run for a refuge ye want the wings of the Sunne of the Morning to fly unto the ends of the earth

mouth of the deceiver and gaine-sayer but the worker of iniquitie seeketh to hide his head with a cover For the truth sake simply this is given forth by one who hath counted all things losse that he might gaine the truth Your answers will savour of the best Zeale which ye may send directed to be delivered unto Gerrard Roberts dwelling at the signe of the Flowerdeluce in Thomas Apostles in London in England for him whom men call John Perrott THough they say the Lord liveth surely they sweare falsly Jere 5.2 saith Jeremiah All Doctors Priests and Pastors that do preach and declare with their tongues Christ to be the way the truth and the life and yet walk contrary to the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world such are lyers and false swearers for Christ unto them is not the way neither in them is he the truth or the life who walk contrary to the light wherewith they are lightened Joh 8.12 Joh 1.4 I am the light of the world saith Christ which lighteth every man that cometh into the world saith John who was a witnesse of the way and of the truth and of the life who himselfe not his words was neither the way the truth nor the life for his testimony was true concerning Christ who is the way the truth Joh 14.6 and the life Paul Peter Mark Luke Mathew John and Jude they also were witnesses of the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world whose testimony was of Jesus the Christ they were not that Christ neither were their words or writings or Epistles that Christ which they by their words and writings before all men bare witnesse of who is the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world which is the way the truth and the life which is the word of God Joh 1.1 Isa 42.6 of whom and by whom the worlds were made and the Prophets prophesied of things to come to passe which are come to passe and coming to passe which testified of the light which is come into the world and lighteth every one that cometh into the world Isa 49.6 according to the word of prophesie The Scriptures do not say that they are the word but they say that by the word which was in the beginning which was with God and was God the heavens and the earth was made which was before the Scriptures was by which word the Scriptures came to be written which saith that the name of Christ Rev 19.13 who is the light of the world is called the word of God Now all that say that the words of the Prophets and Apostles is the way to life they are out of the way speaking in the darknesse of this world their testimony is false and they are Antichrist for the way is but one and Christ is that way to the father who is the light of the world which lighteth every man that cometh into the world for the Scriptures and writings of the Apostles they were not before the world was neither do they say they were written 〈◊〉 Moses was but the way and the word was unto Abel and Seth and Enoch and Noah Joh. 14.6 and Abraham Isaac and Jacob which was before the Scriptures was and the Scriptures testifies these things saying Christ is the way in witness against those which say the Scriptures is the way and the Scriptures 〈◊〉 Christ is the word in witness against those that say the Scriptures is the word and the Scriptures say that Christ is the life in witness against those that say the Scriptures is the Rule of life and truth and the Scriptures say Christ is the light in witness against those that say the Scriptures is the light and the Scriptures say Joh. 12.46 that Christ is the truth in testimony and witness against all those that say the Scriptures of truth which witnesses against all their deceits lyes which is the sure declaration of truth is the truth These things are written in the Scriptures which declare the way to be one the truth one the life one the word one all one Christ who is the one true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world A measure of which testifieth in every mans conscience against lying and swearing flattering and cheating double-dealing adultery and drunkenness pride covetousness stealing oppression and envie and murder and all sin the light hath shined in every mans conscience and this is the Law of God which was nigh unto Moses which is among the Heathen which have not the Scriptures the Scriptures is not written in their consciences but the light hath shined in all their consciences the same which judgeth the hearts which hath not the Scriptures also judgeth those who professe the Scriptures yet in their lives walk contrary to the Scriptures The light which lighteneth Jew and Gentile is the condemnation both of Jew and Gentile of as many as walk contrary to the light wherewith they are lighteneth and this is the condemnation Joh. 3.19 light is come into the world but men love darknesse rather then light because their deeds are evill Joh. 1.4 But now the light is life to all that love it follow it such as obey the light the light maketh alive the Scripture is not the Spirit which quickeneth you that can but reade the letter do you read the letter and the letter will tell you That the letter killeth but the spirit maketh alive if you believe that the letter is the life then that which you believe is the life tels you that the letter kills 2 Cor. 3.6 which is destruction of the life what profit have you 〈◊〉 by the letter Therefore to the light keep your minds waiting in it that you may be governed by the Light which cometh from Christ by it to be led unto Christ that you may come to know him to be the Captain leader of Israel unto salvation Heb. 2.10 let the light rule your hearts and the affections of your hearts and minds that you may have feeling of the rule of God the light is the measure rule of truth in all your hearts which will lead you into all truth unto life Joh. 16.13 if you love it and follow it but will stand your condemnation even unto the end unto death if you hate it and walk contrary to it Look to Abels
