have your minds that ye may come to witness cleansing and purging within that ye may come to see the uncleannesse which proceeds out of the heart which defiles the man Mat. 15.18 19. For out of the heart cometh evil thoughts murthers adulteries fornications thefts false testimony slanders these are the things which defiles a man How will you teachers and you professors who looks without you and turns from this which should cleanse you within How do you look that that which is without you should cleanse from this uncleannesse within Let that of God in your consciences now see how you can be cleansed by this when ye turn from it But now if ye turn to the light which makes these things manifest and dwell and abide in it then will ye abstain from them and so come to witnesse cleansing For he that walketh in the light as he is in the light the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin And Christ Jesus saith Luke 6.45 A good man out of the treasury of his heart bringeth forth that which is good and an evil man out of the treasury of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh And why call ye me Lord Lord and do not the things which I say Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doth them I will shew you to whom he is like He is like a man which built an house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a Rock and when the floods arose the streams beat violently upon the house and could not shake it for it was built upon a Rock But he that heareth and doth is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth against which the streams did beat violently and immediately it fell and the fall of that house was great Now professors here 's your building eternally you shall witnesse this Parable fulfilled upon you the tempests and storms is coming upon you your house will be beaten down it cannot stand for ye have been sayers a long time and not doers of the word your house which ye have built is without foundation it is not founded upon the rock Christ Jesus Ye who denies the light he saith into you why call ye me Lord do not the things which I say upon him shall ye be beaten to pieces and all your prefession It is known and seen ye are made manifest ye cannot hide your selves Therefore let the time past of your lives suffice and repent while ye have time least the whirl-winde of the Lord come upon you and destroy you ere ye are aware and remember that ye are warned in your life time Ye who talkes of faith where is your foundation who denies the light Christ Jesus the corner-stone whose blood washeth and cleanseth and purgeth away the filth of the daughter of Sion What will your faith advantage you who are yet in your sin Is not that faith vain which doth not purifie the heart The Apostle Paul saith Now the end of the Commandment 〈◊〉 Charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned 1 Tim. 1.5 And again he saith Holding the mysterie of faith in a pure conscience 1 Tim. 3.9 And the Apostle John saith For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith 1 John 6.4 Now see your faith hath overcome the world and given you victory over sin else never talk of faith for ye are yet in your sins all who is of the faith by which the just lives denies your faith for ye who are alive to sin crucifies and slayes the Just ●et who is in the faith of God the just lives by his faith And so now here ye may read your faith by your works For the Apostle James saith What doth it profit though a man say he hath faith and hath not works that faith cannot save See what comparison James makes James 2.16 Even so faith if it hath not works is dead being alone Yea a man may say thou hast faith and I have works shew me thy faith without thy works and I will shew thee my faith by my works Now see how blinde ye are who reads these Scriptures and professes them and yet talks of faith and lives in your sins Oh the righteous God will plead with you for all your deceit and hypocrisie Thou believes there is a God thou dost well the devils believe also and tremble Therefore know Oh vain man that thy faith without works is dead And what is thy works who art yet in thy sins Is not sin the work of the devil Oh that ever ye should be so blinde and befotted Will the fig-leaves of your profession cover your nakednesse Nay the Lord hath found you out and all your coverings is too narrow And your faith which is holden with respect of persons which the Apostle exhorts from the Lord God abhors But if ye had true living faith as a grain of musterd-seed ye might say to this mountain be thou removed into the Sea and it would be so But to you whose faith is dead who are yet in your sins this is a mysterie Therefore repent and turn to the Lord God and believe in the light which is rising and shining in your consciences he it is who is the resurrection and the life whosoever believeth in him though he were dead yet shall he live Therefore hearken diligently to the Prophet which the Lord is raising in this his day and believe in the light For whosoever doth not hearken to this Prophet is to be cut off Turn to the light and believe and hearken diligently that your souls may live Why will ye give your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which profiteth not The pure everlasting fountain of life is set open and the voice is calling to every one to come All that thirsteth to come and buy wine and milk without money they that have been sold for nought shall be redeemed without money The blood of the everlasting Covenant which brings again the Lord Jesus from the dead is poured forth and shedding for the redemption of Israels seed Therefore all turn to the voice that calls ye this is the way walk in it And that which turns and draws your minds towards God the light which cometh from the father of light turn to and there will ye witnesse a living hope which was that hope which Paul the Apostle was called in question for the resurrection of the dead who was a Minister of God who watched for the soul which your Ministers of death knoweth not nor hath no hope of but their labor is to keep you in the death But if ye wait in the light of Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life which is the mysterie which is Christ in you the hope of glory For this is
