being turned from the Covenant wherein he was set into his own willing and desiring in the outward Creation the evil defiled him and he became evil and a fruitless tree that cumbred the ground and an enmity was placed in him by disobedience and all things became evil to him and the door of all misery and sorrovv was opend let in the curse upon him invvardly and outvvardly for he became dead in transgression to the life and povver and vvisdom of the Creator and every moment vvas subject to dye to this World also And through transgression of the Povver that made him he vvas cast out of the Creators Garden and out of his love to labour under the curse in unprofitable ground and also out of his ovvn dignity and honor dominion vvas he cast became heir of death and child of Wrath and Enemy in his mind unto the Creator and an enmity vvas placed in him against the Povver that made him rebellion in his mind from vvhich all the Works of unrighteousness proceeds innocency vvas lost man became hurtful to himself to all creatures grieved continually the Povver that made him vvas drove from the presence feeling of his Creator into insensibleness and in this state unto this day are all ye sons daughters of the first Adam in the enmity against the povver that made you every moment transgressing it death reigns over you all the povver of darkness rules in you all the Lavv of sin death transgression are you all subject to led captive in your minds affections desires at the vvill of the povver that leads into transgression called the devil in that state you are all strangers to God are vvithout him in the World ignorant of the knovvledg of his ways and are in the perishing state for want of knowledge and subject to the curse of the power which you transgress and are heirs of his Wrath having no part in the Inheritance of blessing for a vail of darkness through sin hath overspread you all and covered you all from the sight and hearing and feeling of the Creator and of the mystery of his glory and wisdom and every one in particular and none excepted of all the children of Adam upon the face of the whole earth but all have sinned and transgressed and death reigns over all and blindness of heart hath possessed all and all have fallen short of the glory of the Creator all men are concluded by his spirit to be under sin and children of Wrath and Heirs of Corruption and in disobedience rebellion to the life that gives all men a being the whole world all people in it without exceptions of tribes Generations or Nations this is the state condition of all the sons of men all flesh hath corrupted his way upon the earth in his sight that made it and the wickedness of man is great in the earth and the imaginations and thoughts of every mans heart is evil continually and grieveth the Creator for the whole earth is filled with violence through mans trnsgression And now if any stock or age hath priviledge one above another to redemption and salvation and to the Kingdom of Peace and Glory but Jew and Gentile wise and foolish Noble and Ignoble Male and Female all people without exception are in transgression and by the line and measure of true judgement are shut out from the knowledge of life and salvation and of the Inhheritance of the Father in that state of enmity wherein every man in the world is fallen into and by one the offence came so death upon all men which reigns in the hearts of all and opposeth the life of the Creator and every one is imperfect in the sight of the Lord blind deaf dumb lame and without the sence of the Power that made him and brought him forth his eye sees not for it is covered with a vail of darkness neither doth the ear hear for it is stopped nor the Tongue speak nor the understanding pecceive any thing of the secrets of the Lord but all are separated and divided from the tree of life and are cast out from his presence by whom the world was made into blindness of heart and to the loathing of your selves and are more ignorant of your Maker then the Ox is of his owner or the Asse of his Masters Crib for you know not him that gives you life and all good things and that upholds you by the Word of his Power and this is his word unto you all You are all under the power of Satan and subject to his wil acting in iniquity and in evil bringing forth the fruits of death from that ground in which you now stand which is cursed and your Maker hath no pleasure in it for your fruits grieves his spirit that made you and vexes his soul which brought you forth for man is degenerated into the plant of a strange Vine and brings forth wild grapes and cursed fruits which is of a bitter taste unto the Lords soul who planted all things for himself who is the good Husband man but the whole earth is currupted and all mankind in it and man is not now acted nor led nor ruled in his heart by the Power that made him which gives him all good things but the power of Satan the Serpent the old Dragon which deceived from the beginning who is in the enmity against the life of the Creator he acts man and rules man to the abuse of all creatures and to his own destruction and every particular man is liable to the wrath and to the curse and to everlasting wo and misery and tormeut from his Maker in that state of disobedience whereinto all mankind is fallen not one upon the face of the whole earth excepted from transgression and so from misery nor none priviledged one above another unto happiness but as I have said Male and Female who was made in the Image of their Maker in the first Creation but now every man in the whole world is in the enmity against the life of the power that made him and is a child of wrath and shut up in blindness and unbelief under the Devils power which power abode not in the truth but is out of the truth and all mankind is left in this condition without help or helper or deliverance or means or way of salvation from himself or any other creature upon the face of the whole earth but is a Sheep without a Shepherd straying and wandering in the thoughts of his own heart after vanity and that wherein there is no profit to the Lord nor to his own soul but death and sorrow in all his wayes having forsaken the Fountain of living waters and gone a whoring after other Lovers and defiled himself and so brought destruction upon himself by his own doings who abounds in all evil lying theft murder envy strife
stealing and Whoredom and such like which are the fruits of the ground that is cursed for mans sake But now unto all people the sons and daughters of Adam the first man that ever vvas made though you be thus fallen into misery by transgression and helpless from your selves or from any other creature yet hath the living God the povver which made you and which you have transgressed against ordained and prepared a way to be restored and healed and to be brought to the injoyment and feeling of the Creator from the disobedience and from the curse and misery unto the blessing and happiness and unto all Mankind in particular is prepared a way out of death unto life out of the loss which every man hath received in transgression to salvation and redemption and deliverance out of the captivity and bondage which all is fallen into into liberty and freedom to serve his Maker to glorifie him for he hath not been served nor glorified but grieved and vexed by all men on the earth and so he hath brought misery and the curse upon all by forsaking them and leaving them under the power which made them not to be led and guided by it in rebellion unto destruction And now this same power by which man was made is mans Restorer and Deliverer and Redeemer and Saviour though he have transgressed against it for vvhen there vvas none to help nor to save of any creature upon the face of the earth the arm of that Power vvhich made all things stretched forth its self to save the creatures vvhich vvas made and that same Povver vvhich is trangressed is the Redeemer of all mankind though it is offended and burdened and pressed as a Cart vvith sheaves by transgression against the Creator and that is the povver vvhich vvorks out salvation and deliverance by slaying the enmity and condemning iniquity and removing the cursed ground out of mans heart that the evil Fruits may cease vvhich it brings forth and by this Povver all must be saved that ever are saved and delivered from Wrath. And this all men have been ignorant of and not felt nor knovvn nor tasted of the life and povver of the Creator though it hath been near unto every one and all men and creatures lives moves and hath their being by it and sustenance from it and yet man transgresses it and grieves it and is not led by it Therefore all people upon earth consider your condition and state and hearken to the Power that made you a measure of which moveth in the hearts of all mankind upon the face of the earth and it moveth against the evil and against the defiled and transgressing part in every mans heart that is come into the World and this Power by which all men was made and which they have transgressed against a measure of it from the Father is made manifest to all mankind upon the face of the Earth and convinceth of the evil of Murder and Adultery and such like and condemneth the works which are evil in every particular man whether Heathens or Christians so called and unto all people here is the way to be restored into Covenant with your Maker a measure of his power in you secretly moves upon you and calls to you to return to it to be led and guided by it in fear and obedience and subjection to it from which you have been driven and against which you have transgreded and this power the Creator hath sent his Son into the World and given him a gift unto all mankind he hath given light and understanding to every particular man to know good from evil truth from a lye right from wrong Justice from injustice and equity from falshood and this Power of the Son of God in you doth witness to you and accept you when with it you be guided and vvhen according to it you speak and act and it justifies the good and the right and the equal and excuses all men in that from condemnation but against lying and wrong dealing and deceit and injustice it testifies and when you do these things you transgress against that Power that made you which should save you and justifie you and excuse you and with it you are accused and condemned and it brings trouble upon you and the curse of misery and sorrow and this Power in you will search your hearts and try your reins and let you see your thoughts and make manifest unto you the state and condition of mankind who is become enemy to his Maker in following that which brings death upon which the wrath remaineth till there be a returning unto the Power by which man was made a measure of which as I have said moveth in the hearts of the sons and daughters of Adam in all the world And now if every one of you do turn your minds from the World and from the glories and vanities thereof and from the evil which hath possessed you in thoughts actions and if you stand still for a moment from willing and desiring to your selves and after the World this shall you find secretly moving in you which shall draw you towards the Creator to enjoy him and to see his glory which none that are still in transgression against him can ever partake of or behold and if to that you hearken within you and heed it and follow it which witnesseth to that Power that made you to be great and mighty and wonderful this will shew that you are short of his glory and it will condemn evil in you in all thoughts and words actions which proceedeth out of the cursed ground in which the Creator hath no pleasure and this will take away the vail vvhich is spread over you all and open the blinde eye and unstop the deaf ear and bring you to hear and see and understand the things vvhich are eternal which belongs unto your peace and if you all come to be guided by that which moves in you against evil it vvill lead you up to its self to be renewed and changed out of the evil and from under the devils povver under which every man bath been subject which Povver hath been out of truth into the Image and likeness of the Creator and to be restored to his Inheritance to enjoy peace and rest for ever And this is the Word of the Creator of Heaven and Earth to you all and to all mankind this is the Way unto redemption and salvation unto the blessing out of all sorrow and troubles and afflictions and torments and vvoes and miseries vvhich is the Portion for ever of all that disobeys this Power which moves against evil in you which is the Power of him that made all men and things which moveth in your hearts against all that which the Creator never placed in you but w● are fruits of darkness I say unto you all This power in you must you own and believe in follow and be guided by it
hear let him hear and read himself how he was planted with the image of his Maker but is now degenerated and turned aside from truth and righteousness from all good and from the wayes of peace out of the love and pleasure of his Maker and is now in all evil in deceit and unrighteousness and in the Wayes of sorrow and trouble and in the Makers displeasure and the Seed of Enmity ruleth in him and is suffered to be King in the Wrath of God and must be taken away in Gods displeasure and anger for that is not the annointed of God but is in rebellion against his Authority and breaks his Law and transgresses his commands and must be condemned into perdition for all cursed Fruits doth spring forth from that Seed to the vexing and grieving of the Lord God injustice oppression deceit hypocrisie falsheartedness lying murder whoredom theft envy bitterness perversness devouring one another covetousness idolatry and all manner of evil which gives an ill savor a corrupted taste and a loathsom sight in the presence of the Lord God who made all things Oh how abominable are all the wayes of man become-unto his Maker who hath nodelight in any of his ways nor pleasure in any of his Works Oh how is the Lord grieved and his soul from day to day oppressed and his long-suffering provoked by the ways and works of his creatures which he made for himself but they are become the Devils and subject to the power of the enmity all mans works are brought forth in that nature which is evil and out of that ground which is cursed his good works are not accepted and his evil deeds are condemned all which springs forth of one root of bitterness and enmity which is in the displeasure of the Creator Oh earth be awakened and all ye sons and daughters of Adam call to mind your state and condition and repent and return before destruction when no time of repentance can be found Hearken to instruction and let your ears be open to hear here you may all hear and understand the way to restoration to be restored and recovered out of this condition and out of this Enmity and from under this curse of misery and destruction for a way hath God prepared unto all mankind and is making it manifest unto the whole earth that the Sons and Daughters of Adam may again know their Maker and have fellowship with him and this way is but one which is ordained for all people upon the face of the earth of what Tribe or Nation soever and all that comes to the knowledge of the Creator must walk in this way which is called Christ Jesus who is the Son of the Creator the second Adam the Lord from Heaven the Power and VVisdom of the Creator and by him all things was made and without him was not any thing formed that was brought forth he is the Restostorer the Redeemer and the Deliverer for he connot be overcome of the evil but overcometh and treadeth down all the Powers of Darkness and death and the Devil which riseth against him in all the world and the Creator hath so loved mankind though he hath transgressed against him and grieved him yet he hath given his Son into the world into all Nations without respect of persons or people to be the Saviour of all that believe in him and receive him that they may come out of death and darkness from under the Devils power and may be translated and changed and renewed out of sin and death and ignorance and rebellion and out of the Kingdom of the Devil into truth and righteousness and into the kingdom of God And this Restorer and Saviour the Power and VVisdom of the Creator hath lightned all mankind every one that cometh into the world is lightned by him that every one may follow him and be guided by his power and wisdom and every one that doth receive him sin and iniquity and transgression is condemned and the seed of the Enmity is cast out by his power which is revealed against all unrighteousness and he subdues it and works it forth of the hearts of all men and so reconciles man again to his Maker to have fellowship with him and this Restorer the second Adam comes to be revealed within every man who executes true Judgement upon the Transgressor and bindeth under the rebellious Nature and death and condemnation passes upon the seed of Enmity and all its fruits upon the Devil and all his works upon him who is born of the flesh and all his wayes his joy is turned into mourning his pleasures into sorrow his glory and rejoycing into sadness of heart and the life which he has lived comes to be crucified the ways which he hath walked in comes to be hedged up and no more followed and his strength is turned into weakness and all his ways and pleasures fadeth and perisheth and the birth which is immortal comes to be brought forth which is not of this world but Heir of the Creators Inheritance who hath no glorying under the Sun nor no pleasure in the glory of this world which passeth away but lives unto God in all things and brings forth fruit unto the Father and is replanted into the living Vine and is leavened into a new lump and placed in the Garden of God all the old garments are put off old things are passed away the devil is cast out the blinde eye is opened the vail is taken away which hath been spread over all the deaf ear is unstopped man is again returned unto his Maker hears sees understands the things which are eternal which belongs to his peace the fear of God is set up in his heart and Gods secrets are revealed unto him he is become the glory of his Maker to praise him to glorifie him to magnifie him for evermore being restored again unto Gods Image guided with his power wisdom have received dominion and authority from his Maker to reign rule over all creatures to be exercised in all things to his glory by whom they were made he is not in bondage to any creature but in liberty over it the creatures are become his servants he servant to his Maker the earth yeilds its encrease unto man the curse is removed the blessing restored in the Covenant of Peace and righteousness where all creatures comes to be injoyned the covenant of Death and Hell being broken and disannulled where the curse stood standeth in all the world where the Restorer of the second Adam is not received who moveth by the measure of his power against the evil in the hearts of all men he knocketh at the door of the heart that he may be received and come in and dwell with the children of men whose delight is with the sons of men every one that openeth unto him hearkeneth to his cry who calleth by the Light moveth by his Power by him they receive life and peace and sulness from the Father and are raised from death to life redeemed from under the power of Satan to the power of the Creator all evil in the ground and in the fruits judgement goes upon it all and condemnation thus mankind comes to be restored again to God his Maker to be the children of God and heirs of his Inheritance and is no more of this world but redeemed by Jesus Christ out of kindreds tongues and people out of respect of time place creatures or things and sees through all creatures to be before the world was beyond all the glory of this world to the glory of the Lord and here is the praising the singing rejoycing the living walking in that life which cannot change in the world of which there is no end and here a greater glory is known then the first mans glory a greater state then that which was overcome of the Devil a greater dominion then that which was lost this dominion never can have an end death is swallowed up of life all sorrow and anguish is swallowed up of rejoicing all tears are wiped here and there is no more sorrow the quickning spirit is felt and witnessed which hath quickned again to God and God Tabernacle is with men and his dwelling place with the children of men and that is felt and seen and tasted which was before the world was before any creature was made and the whole world is comprehended and mans state in his first creation is here known what it was and mans state in transgression is also known whiat it was and mans state restored again is also witnessed and the difference sperceived betwixt the first Adam which was overcome of the Devil though he was innocent and without sin and bore the likeness of his Maker and of the second Adam who cannot be overcome of the devil whom Satan hath nothing in who is the express image of the creator it self He that hath an ear to hear let him hear eye hath not seen ear hath not heard it hath not entered into the heart of man that which the Father hath revealed by his spirit things not lawfull to be uttered of which there is no declaring that which is infinite endless eternal and in this I shall end London the 6. of 3. mon. 1656.
