light of Christ in thee to meddle with other mens matters and so give way to the adulterated spirit in thee that is adulterated from the Lord and so the feet abides not in the house but followeth after that which entreth forth after that which saith Lo here and lo there and so mindeth not the Prisoner vvithin thee vvhich groaneth for deliverance and cries for vengeance upon the head of the vvicked one in thee vvhich bears rule and leadeth thee from obedience of what is made manifest to thee by the Light of Christ to go forth feeding upon the Tree of Knowledge where thou wouldst be as God knowing good and evill But to that in thy conscience do I speak thou knowest enough already to be thy condemnation for the Light of Christ is come into the worldly heart which sheweth thee sin and evill and wickedness is thy condemnation because thou lovest thy own unfruitfull works rather than the Light which sheweth thee it therefore saith the Lord the people have chosen their own ways and delighting themselves in acting that which was not good and have gone a whoring after their own inventions and will have none of me but casts my Law behind their backs and rejects my counsell and abhor my correction and receive not the fear of the Lord although I have sent my servants the Prophets rising up early and sending them to cry in the streets the chief places at Concourse at the entring in of the Gates and in the high places saying unto all O do not this abominable thing which I hate and this voice doth also call in thee saying this is the way walk in it when thou art turning to the right hand or to the left and yet the Lord hath long waited to be gracious and to heal thy back-slidings and love thee freely but thou turnest to him thy back and not thy face O ye rebellious children How long will you delight your selves in mischie and how long wil you walk in a way that is not good How long wil you hold the truth of God in unrighteousness O people will you nor be made clean When shall it once be How long wil you follow after the false Teachers that are gone forth from Christ the Light the Truth into the world who have eyes full of Adultery with the Spirit that is adulterated from the Lord Hearts have they exercised with covetous practises and such that are greedy after the error of Balaam for rewards These are they that cannot cease from sin 2 Pet. 2.14 but have a form without the power and from such turn away and mind the light of Christ the true teacher the true Light that sheweth sin evill when no man can accuse thee yet the Light will then condemn thy unjust practises and check thee in secret for swearing lying cozening and the like this is the Grace of God which appeareth unto all men which teacheth to deny all Vngodliness and worldly lusts which all they that are Christs have crucified with the affections who are become dead unto sin and alive unto righteousness and then how can these that are dead unto sin live any longer therein for the wages of sin are death and he that committeth sin is the servant of sin and whilest we were with you committing sin we were free from righteousness but being now made free from Sin by the clensing of his Blood we became the Servants of righteousness Therefore all you that are yet the servants of Corruption mind your condition his secvants you ar● to whom you obey whether of sin unto death or of righteousness unto life and not one of you can serve two Masters therefore be no longer dec●iued God will not be mocked any longer by you if you continue sowing to the flesh thou shalt as certainly of the flesh reap Corruption therefore all ye that are reader● and not observers and hearers of the Word and not doers you are all deceived Iam. 1 2● the swearer lyar drunkard hater proud covetous a●d scorner are deceived already none of all these ever comes to enter into the Kingdom of God until he be brought out of their deceit wherewith the Serpent hath deceived all the Children of wrath for no unclean thing ever enters into the Kingdome of God which is righteousness and joy and Peace in the Holy Ghost And all you that are condemning those that persecuted the Prophets and imprisoned them and you that are condemning those for persecuting imprisoning and crucifying Christ and his Apostles and are saying if you had been in the dayes of your forefathers you would not have persecuted the Saints as they did and yet in the mean time you your selves are in the same nature as they were and the Works of your fathers that s●…vv the Prophets you vvill do for this day are you persecuting the righteous Seed that ever suffered under your Generation prisons Stocks D●ngeons yea death it self Therefore hear and consider Did ever the servants of Iesus Christ cause any to be imprisoned Or did they ever strike stone hate or revile any Did they ever make use of any Nationall law made by the will of man to ensnare any Or ever havvle any before earthly Magistrates Therefore consider you that are laying snares for the innocent and are havvling them to prison that cannot bovv to Hamans nature nor yours that Heathenish custome of putting off the Hat and that cannot svvear but abide in the Doctrine of Christ Mat. 5.33,34 And them that do not break the lavvs of God or man are dayly cast into prison and great sums of Money imposed upon them by the Wil of proud man Are not the great men of the earth taking counsell against the Lord and against his Annointed Is not Pilate and Herod agreed to crucifie Christ in his Members Are not the chiefe Priests and Rulers joyning together novv as they did Act. 24. Are not many moved vvith envy Are not the rulers novv seeking for somthing against those they can finde nothing vvorthie of death or of bonds like that of Act. 25.25,26 Is there not like tumult raised by the svvearing rude Multitude as vvas Act. 17.5 Are not many saying as they did of Christ one said he is a good man the other said nay but he deceiveth the people Iohn 7.12 Are not the great ones of the earth sometimes saying now as a certain Orator said of Paul that was not made a Minister by the will of man that he was a Pestilent fellow a mover of Sedition and a Ring-leader of the Sect of Nazarites Act. 24.5 Are there not many Hamans now that would have the true Mordecaies to bow to them and because they wil not all their glory in the world availeth them nothing and therefore are ever saying of those who are Jews indeed as it is said of the Jews East 3. that they are a certain up-start-people scattered abroad which regards not the Kings laws neither are they for the Kings profit And would
