A crying voice of the holy spirit of love, wherewith all people are out of meer grace, called and bidden by H.N. to the true repentance for their sins, to the entrance into the upright Christian life, and to the house of the love of Jesu Christ.

Commandment and the chief sum of faith is love with a pure Heart and with a good Conscience and with unfained faith 1 Tim. 1.5 There was demanded and an Instruction required thereupon in writing which is the Secretness or Mysterie of the Love and thereupon is answered by H.N. in writing according to the Declaration of the spiritual and heavenly truth this Instruction here following He that hath Eares to hear * Mar. 13. Luke 8. Apoc. 2.3 let him hear He that hath Wisdom let him conceive understanding The First Chapter WIth whom shall I a Prov. 8. speak saith the Wisdom that shall understand my words 2. To whom shall I reveal the Mystery of the love that shall conceive or know it 3. VVho are those that give eare unto my doctrine and have found my wayes 4. Who hath marked where my dwelling is and followed after me in my out-going and in-going 5. Who hath born the contempt blasphemy and shame with me when I lay in the b Prov. 1. Isai 59. street where the people shaked their Heads at c Psal 22. Psal 109. me as at a d Isai 53. Sap 2. filthy thing that is worthy to be cast away and as mad and frantick men ran over me with feet 6. Who hath had his pleasure in me when I was so e Isai 53. Sap. 2. filthy and so loathsome to look upon or to behold before all wisdom of the flesh and of the Unrepentant ones 7. Who hath denyed f Mat. 10. Mat. 16. Mar. 8. Luke 9. Luke 14. himself and is for the loves sake gone out of himself with me when I did in the love require the mans salvation and was condemned to the death g Mat. 26. Mat. 27. Marke 15. Luke 22. John 18. Iohn 19. of the Crosse and killed with the same death by the wise ones of the earth as a despised one or an out-cast upon the earth 8. Who hath born such a death h Rom 6. Phil. 2. of the Cross with me in all shame despising blaspheming and wicked defamation and shewed patience therein even unto the death 9. Who hath suffered himself to be buried in the heart of the earth with me like one that is dead 10. Who hath believed my i Iob 19. Dan. 12. 1 Cor 15. 1 Thes 4. rising from the death or trusted thereon for to rise also with me with his body 11. Who hath seen mine k Mat. 16. Luke 24. Acts 1 ascension to God my Father unto his right hand in the heavenly being and waited my coming l Isai 25. Isai 30. Mich 7. Phil. 3. from thence to a righteousnes upon the earth 12. Who hath marked that I live and raign with m Ecclus. 24. God and that my greatnes is more then all n 3 Reg. 8. 2 Par. 2.6 heavens can comprehend where also no earthly o 1 Cor. 2. understanding nor all whatsoever is born out of the earthly blood can know me 13. And if now there be any man that is passed thorow all these things with me or that doth now presently go thorow this narrow way p 4 Esd 7. Mat 7. Luke 13. with me to the life he shall understand and know the mysterie of the love 14. He shall likewise taste and feel the perfection of all goodness and approach to the love in her vertuous nature and become of one being therewith 15. Behold and consider that is the ground of the holy and godly understanding touching the Mysterie or Secretnes of the upright love The Second Chapter OYe lustfull Souls to the mysterie of the love gather out the a 1 Esd 8. minde and search no further For doubtless the love suffereth not her self to be approached unto understood nor known neither for this nor that nor through any manner of cause let it be by what meanes soever it will nor through any manner of minde or will but only by her own vertuous nature and lovely being as through her self or through her service For shee the everlasting good excelleth it all far away 2. Also she receiveth nothing of any man but she her self out of her almighty and vertuous nature and spirit is a plentiful distributrix of her own abundant riches as an infinite flowing river of all godly goods alwaies b Gen. 2. refreshing the Paradise of the Lord. 3. The Love is her self a nurse unto her children and a sure band unto all those that are incorporated to the everlasting life and a mighty strength which is able to suffer and to endure c Cor. 13. all things 4. The Love is also an d Exod. 3. cap. 19 20 Isai 33. holy mountain the which no man being unhallowed or unprepared may touch or come neer For whosoever toucheth the same mountain and is not of her part to him is she a consuming fire whose burning heat e Isai 33. no man can endure but he which is of her like nature or seed Who so resisteth and submitteth not himself under her and her service he shall be broken and battered to pieces like f Psal 2. Isai 30. Ier. 18. Ier. 19. a Potters Vessell 5. The love in her service is an originall or beginning of all good and upright life For through her service she draweth the minde and thoughts of the heart away from all that is vaine corruptible and evill 6. She unbindeth or looseth the everlasting perfection For to come into the life of the eternall uncreatedness in the kingdom of the God of heavens full of all pure beauty wherein all earthly and corrupt self-minded thoughts doe cease and where the corruptible mortality is not beholden 7. For in the love is nothing else but all good and life as also the heavenly and endless kingdom of Jesu Christ in full undisturbable power wherein the mindes of the pure hearts doe dwell free without care or fear with all g Isai 35. Isa 51. Apoc. 21. glory and joy and with Christian Triumph 8. Which freedom of the children of God which fulness of the godly delights and of the godly life no man can obtain that hangeth his delight will and life and tyeth or bindeth himself on the earthly visible or corruptible beeing But they remain vainly-minded in the darkness of the unbelieving mindes whose h Rom. 1. Eph. 4. hearts are blinded with the vain comfort of this world and of the good-thinking wise ones For which Ignorances cause they cannot understand the right ground of the secret love 9. But salvation and i Luke 2. Peace be unto all those that are good of will and that take heed to the time k 1 Cor. 6. Heb. 12. of grace that give their understanding captive under the obedience of the Love and that doe even so with humble and obedient hearts beleeve or trust the love in her Service 10. Happy are they whose devotion of heart God stirreth up thereto For through the love of God the Father

hath God according to such a mind of the man no d Rom. 8. pleasure in the earthly man nor yet the earthly man in God nor in his requiring 10. But seeing now that the only-borne e Mat. 16. Luke 9. Iohn 6. Sonne of God the Father according to the spirit namely Christ the like f Sap. 7. Col. 1. Heb 1. beeing of God is also the only-borne Sonne out of the g Mat. 1. Rom. 1. manhood of the seed of David according to the flesh and beareth in us the Image of the earthly manhood as well as the Image of the heavenly God-head therefore it is not his will that the man whom he hath created h Sap. 1. Sap. 2. Eccles 17. to be an Image of his like-beeing should perish in the disobedience of the earthly man i Ezek 18. Ez k 33. 2 Pet 3. nor in the sins of the earthly being but should live for ever and ever with him and with his spirit in the upright righteousnesse of his heavenly beeing and that all men likewise which love God and his righteousnesse should be assembled into the same beeing and be saved both in soule and body 11. Behold the same forementioned Christ and Sonne of God who for our sinnes cause hath suffered in us the death k Rom. 6. Phil. 2. of the Crosse and armeth us l 1 Pet. 4. with the same minde of his suffering and death maketh known unto us as is before said through his Service of Love his upright beeing of righteousnesse And in our good will to the same he bringeth his belief unto us and so in belief he himselfe m Esa 53.1 Pet 2. beareth our sinnes and justifieth n Rom 3. Gal. 2. us from the same through the belief And so taking our sinnes upon him in patience he o 1 Iohn 1. Iohn 4. reconcileth us before his Father and maketh his p Iohn 14. Apoc. 21. dwelling in us 12. Even thus verily with patience doth Christ come before the man for his q Rom. 8. 2 Cor. 12. Heb. 5. ignorance and weaknesse cause in the ministration of the gracious word of God his Father and in the same patience he through his Service of Love r draweth the man away from all that is ungodly and unreasonable and whereunto he is bound or wherewith he is bewitched according to his earthly and manly mind 13. Behold in this sort doth Christ in the obeying of the requiring of the service of his Love r Oze 13. Rom. 8. 1 Cor. 15. 2 Tim. 1. Heb. 2. 1 Iohn 3. break all the bands of the Devill and of the selfe-mindednesse of the flesh and bringeth the believing and obedient man to his spirituall and heavenly mind of the upright righteousnesse according to the mind of God his Father and even so as the f 1 Tim 2. Heb. 9. true mediatour to our reconcilement with God the Father he putteth away the t Esa 59. Ephes 2. middle-wall betwixt God and us and procureth the man that he uniteth him with a good will with a Godhead and God u Iohn 17. to an uniting with the manhood 14. Behold and have a good regard hereunto my beloved for even thus as is rehearsed is x Rom. 55. the peace and reconciliation with God the Father prepared for us through Christ and so he maketh of two y Ephes 22. that they be one namely the Godhead and the manhood 15. But in the meane time that we doe suffer with a Rom. 22. 2 Cor. 44. Phil. 3. 2 Tim. 22. Christ for the sinnes cause and doe daily take our b Mat 16. Luke 14. Crosse upon us with him so doe there yet daily no doubt many temptations meet with us through the unbeliefe of the earthly man and we doe stumble or fall and doe sinne also yet sometimes by reason of our ignorance and weaknesse Which sinne we doe not then commit in the Father but c Mat. 12. in the Sonne But if we be good of will and continue stedfast therein then is the sin d Act. 10. forgiven us through his name 16. For inasmuch as he himselfe beareth in us our sinnes therefore hath he e Heb. 55 compassion with our weaknesse and suffereth likewise with us in the belief till that all the contrary-being that is against the upright beeing of God the Father be overcome through the belief in the like-suffering with Christ f Rom. 6. Phil. 2. of the death of the Crosse and that Christ with his Father have gotten g 1 Cor. 15. the dominion against the sinne Which Crosse or suffering of Christ is the altar of the offering of Christ h Heb. 9. Heb. 13. in the holy whereon our sinnes be offered up through the offering of Christ as a sinne-offering death offering and debt-offering Through which offering of Christ wherein we doe obediently follow after i 1 Pet. 2. him till unto the second birth from the death we be k 2 Cor. 5. Ephes 1. Ephes 2. Heb. 9. sprinckled with his bloud of the true testament to the forgivenesse of sinnes and to an everlasting reconcilement with God the Father through faith and that same is the fulfilling of the true God-service in the holy 17. Through which fulfilling of the foregoing Service in the holy the godly understanding l 1 Cor. 13 Eph. 4 of the true age of the manly-beeing of Iesu Christ is inherited by us m 2 Cor. 3. the veil before the most holy put away from us and the n Esa 16. Heb. 1. Heb. 5. mercy-seat uncovered and declared unto us and likewise all the costly o Col. 2. riches of the upright spirituall and heavenly Goods in the very true most holy 18. When as we now are thus renewed p Rom. 12 Ephes 1. in Iesu Christ through faith also come to the same q Ephes 4. age of the man Christ and become one body with Iesu Christ so is God the Father then likewise r Ephes 2. one substance or manned with us through Christ and f 1 Cor. 15. is all in all and we have the t 2 Cor. 1. paune of his inheritance namely the holy Ghost wherewith we be grounded sealed and established n Ephes 3. in God through Iesus Christ And all that godly beeing even as we have witnessed before of God the Father doth then live substantially in us and so we have our x 1 Ioh. 1. fellowship with God the Father and with his Sonne the Lord Jesu Christ in the everlasting life wherein our joy is perfect 19. Behold that is the true joyfulnesse with Christ which we doe inherit in the Kingdome of God his Father and doe know no more of the Sinne. For in that we are dead y Rom 6. that are we dead unto the sinne and in that we live that live we unto God in Jesu Christ and so have a good and quiet conscience through Jesus Christ in his dominion over the Sinne and death 20. Which dominion of Christ and z Luke 16 Kingdome of God is as then come inwardly into us and it is with us in all points one God in one beeing namely the Father the Sonne the holy Ghost with the manhood in all Love And that is the life and peace and the * Gen 21. Rom 4. Gal. 3. seed of Promise to the blessing of all generations of the earth The Sixth Chapter MY beloved this same even as I have here witnessed unto thee is the right mediation of Jesu Christ inwardly in us to our safe-making and reconciliation a Rom. 3. 2 Cor. 5. Col. 1. 1 Iohn 2. with God the Father wherethrough also Christ is an b Heb. 1. heir of all things and God all c 1 Cor. 15. in all It is very true 2. And with this Instruction out of the heavenly truth doe I heartily salute thee in the Lord d Ephes 4. to an Unity of heart in the Love and look thou with spirituall eies of a pure heart into the ground of that whereof I write unto thee to the end that thou maist comprehend the secret understanding of the spirituall and holy knowledge whereof I write unto thee and let thine understanding awake to the Love and to her Service I desire likewise of thee that the Commonalty which is with thee may also read the Letter and salute them all in my behalfe e Rom. 16. 2 Cor. 13. with a salutation of the Love and if there be any among you that are acquainted with any people whom they know to seek God with heart or that are no undiscreet blasphemers but stand well-minded to the unity of heart in the Love let them also read over this writing And love alwayes the unity of heart in the Love to an increasing of the hely knowledge and rejoyce you among each other in the Love through the spirituall f Ephes 1. heavenly goods which doe come unto us in the Spirit out of the godly Love 4. The love of God the Father g Col. 3. get the victory in all your hearts Amen 5. Pray for me that the Lord will strengthen me in my Spirit with his Love to the end that I may bee strengthened in him without feare and so may stand fast against all mine enemies and that the concord of Peace may be prepared upon earth through the Love and her Service according to the Promises The End of the Fourth Epistle Our heart is the mind of God most High Our beeing amiable as the sweet Lilly Our faithfulness love and truth upright Is Gods light life and cleerness bright FINIS
