WHen the Lord Jesus came to Jerusalem he beheld the City and wept over it with this lamentation Oh that thou hadst known in this thy day the things that belong to thy peace The same tendernesse is witnessed now in them which the Lord hath enlightned I cannot but mourn over you to see how you lye wallowing in your filth and joyne hand in hand and smite with the fist of wickednesse and yet lean upon Christ for salvation Know you not that many shall say in that day Lord Lord but remember what will be your answer Go you cursed into the lake I know you not Oh that thou wouldst but stand still a little and turn thy eye inward Sit downe a little and consider thy poore soul that lyes in death What will become of thee thou murderest the just in thee there is a Talent to be improved in thee how wilt thou give an accompt of it the Steward is now come in the coole of the day then Adam heard the voyce of God and then he saw his nakedness and so may est thou If thou wilt turn in thy minde to the light of Christ in thee the light will discover to thee thy fallen state and how thou art turned out from the presence of God and art in the gall of bitternesse and the earth is cursed for thy sake Now if thou wilt minde the light and waite in it which is the grace of God that hath appeared to thee there is the first step to pure redemption And if thou take diligent heed to this light in thee thou shalt finde it checking thee continually for all thy evill deeds and it will teach thee to be sober minded and upright in all thy dealings as in the sight of God and so thou wilt come to see the straight gate and narrow way that leads to life but thou wilt say Christ hath done all this for me I have nothing to do but believe but it will be said unto thee when thou thinkest to sit downe with thy Lord Friend how camest thou hither without a wedding-garment then know what thy portion will be Faith is another thing then thou takest it to be He that hath Faith if it be never so little shall witnesse Christs words to be true he shall remove mountains Now in the still silence in the light that shines in darknesse in thee thou wilt come to relish that little grain of Faith which is held in a pure conscience and so feele the mountains remove which presseth downe thy soule but ye will not come unto me that ye may have life saith Christ Jesus It is thy will that hinders thee for in thy will the Devill lodges Adam when he disobeyed the minde and will of God then he entred into his own will and so was turned out into the Devils Kingdome Now Christ Jesus the second Adam who is God manifest in flesh condemning sinne in the flesh if thou live in him in thee and believe in him in thee then thou shalt witnesse his power to the cutting down of thy will for thy will must come to death that the will of God may be done and so that Scripture comes to be fulfilled in thee which are the words of Christ Loe I come in the volume of thy booke it is written of me to doe thy will O God which is the book of conscience in thee there the will of God is to be done And as thou comest to love the light and live in it thou wilt come to see the righteous law of God fulfilled in thee Death reigns in thee Now Death reigned from Adam till Moses and when Moses came then was the Law given forth and so Moses and the Prophets till John But thou wilt say thou art not under the Law but under Grace let the light search thee and it will aske thee how camest thou to be under Grace Is not the law for cleansing When wast thou cleansed or where dost thou think to be cleansed Doth not Christ Jesus say that he is come to fulfill the Law and that one jot nor tittle shall pass unfulfilled and wilt thou speak of his words and not believe him Yea thou shalt know that for that very end is there a measure of Christ given unto thee that if thou deny thy selfe and yeeld obedienc● to his will thou shalt witnesse the whole Law fulfilled in thee but it is through judgment and through burning for through judgement is Zion redeemed but hearken a little and consider hear and thy soule shall live If thou be willing to take up the Crosse of Christ and despise the shame thou shalt witnesse pure peace of conscience and though it may seem hard to the world yet there is living refreshments Yea glorious is the worke of redemption but none can see it but those that come through it And now the way of eternall life is laid before thee if thou slight it it shall lye at thy doore and therefore take heed what thou dost for when the booke of conscience is opened thou shalt witnesse thou hast been warned in thy life-time Martha Simmonds
