is born in Bethelem of a Virgin and of the Seed of David as the Apostles have said yet could not the Jews by their learning and works of the Law know him when he was born nor you by your learning nor imitating the Apostles know him that is born and though you were invited to the Feast you should have taken the lowest place till the Master of the Feast had bid you go up higher but you boldly went up without his leave but behold a more honorable person is come in and you must go down lower for it is he that humbleth himself shall be exalted and he that exalteth himself shall be brought down and this I know there is no struggling or striving with him he will make you bow and bend you or break you in pieces Let no one envy his Brother but abide in love Know you not that every envious man is a murderer and the Lord heareth the cry of the innocent why are you envious at your brothers sacrifice because it flames if you do well are you not accepted if not sin lyeth at the door what if thy brothers do burn and thine doth not would you kill him because God hath accepted him but cease you rage and know for a truth Israel shall not alwaies be in bondage under Pharaohs Task masters though they may command to kill the man-child yet lovely Moses is born but is to be hid in the rushes and after nour●shed up in Pharaohs Court and he not know it and that is he that shall deliver poor Israel from his hard bondage if you know not what this means then know that God is not known by wisdom or humane learning but he is the same God that changeth not and as he did formerly he doth now he brings to pass his strange work which seems to you learned ones a foolish and low thing yet he will by this foolish thing confound your wisdom which hath puft you up with a high confidence that you can say well but you have gone too far without your guide having skipped the Law and the Prophets and are come as far as Gospel or Christ but truly frier as you must come back again to the first Chapter of Genesis and there read the first dayes work which God did he divided the light from the darkness and the light he blessed because he saw it was good and the darkness he called night and so he went on with every dayes work will the whole Creation was finished Look not out for this creation you must witness wrought in you before you come to the Sabbath the Lord of rest for our God is a God of Order and Moses was to do according as he saw the patern shewed him and all this is to be seen in the light but how Haman or mans proud wil that is so highly advanced will come down off the Kings horse to give poor Mordecai that place I know it will be death unto him but he must down the king hath decreed that honor unto Mordecai and as the Lord lives he shall have it let the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing yet shall his Son be set on that holy hill Sion Thinks human wisdome I can eas'ly see The Scripture can this thing declare to me But it 's not known by pleasure ease or sleep Who finds this Pearl must dig both low and deep And whoso finds before it be his own He must sell all to purchase that alone And cast up all his stock and look within Before to build this house he doth begin Remember Babel do not build too high Nor make a Tower to reach unto the sky Nor look without but turn thy eye within See Christ be laid then build thy House on Him Who builds not on this Rock shall surely fall For hee 's the Corner-stone uniteth all Cease then a while you humane learned men And know your wisdome cannot find out him Thou willing and obedient know i●'s thee Whose vail is rent to see this mystery It 's not the prudent learned wise that shall Him comprehend who is the light of all Follow the light for surely 't will thee bring Where he is born then bow and worship him No sooner is he born but thou shalt see That Herods nature by its cruelty Seeks to destroy that New-born babe in thee Known to many by the name'of Susanna Bateman The 12. moneth in the year 1656.
