God ye are no self-lovers but self-denyers no followers of the worlds fashions Customs or traditions but of Iesus Christ whose kingdome is not of the world who alone is your Head King Priest and Propher ye who goe under the name of members of the Church of Christ and call one another Brother and Sister who pretend to have Communion and fellowship with one another search your hearts with the light of Christ and it will not deceive you but let you truly see in what your fellowship hath stood and stands and will clearly manifest unto you whether ye be in the spirit of truth and righteousness yea or no if ye be then the fruits before mentioned ye will bring forth abundantly which are the fruits of the spirit and your Communion and fellowship will stand and as ye abide in the life of truth and righteousness your love and unity will grow and increase and your pure lives and holy conversations will make you manifest to be members of the body of Christ but if you see with the light of Christ self-love pride covetousness rashness self-wildness envy and uncharitableness then know that if these things remaine in you and things of the like nature that your Communion and fellowship is in the flesh and not in the spirit formal and not eternall and ye are none of the living stones which the temple of God is built on none of the members of the body of Christ but of Anti-Christ the body of Christ is washed in his blood which cleanseth from all unrighteousness unrighteousness uncleanness and all sin and iniquity is out of the body of Christ the Church in God in the body of Anti-Christ the enemy of the Church of God All ye formalists who are puft up in pride and arrogancy who have gotten the Saints words to talk on in your airy minds and live at ease in vain pleasures and wantonness your words and policy shall stand you in no stead in this the day of the Lord you shall appear in your own likeness your close hypocrisy and your fained humility shall not cover you nor save you from the judgements of the dreadfull God your hearts shall be made naked and bare and your reward you shall have with the wicked and ungodly your shame and confusion ye shall no longer hide ye shall be known whose servants and Children ye are and of what body ye are members and that Anti-christ is your head and not Christ the body of Christ is purged from all secret deceit treachery and close hypocrisy and is filled with righteousness purity and innocency every particular member of the Church in God this pillar and ground of truth knows the work of sanctification by the powerfull operation of the word of truth are thorowly cleansed and sanctified and by the divine power joyned and united unto Christ the head of his Church which is his body he is no member of the Church of Christ what ever he profess that lives after the flesh and knows not the work of the Eternall Spirit of judgement and burning which mortifies the fleshly desires and lusts and purges and cleanses the heart thorowly from sin and iniquity for it is the work of the spirit to purifie and the body purified without spot is the body of Christ the Church of God no unclean person can be united to the body of Christ though thousands of unclean people may come amongst the members of his body yet no defiled thing can be joyned to it for it is pure without spot and members of the Church in God feels enjoys one another in the life of pure love and their unity and fellowship stands not in outward formallity but in the pure life of truth and innocency where they meet and imbrace one another and are refreshed one in another in the love and life which changeth not which all men and women upon the face of the whole earth are out of which be from the light with which Christ hath enlightned them for the light leads into the life of innocency where the eternall unity stands The Church made of living stones THe living stones of which the Church of God is made are the people who have passed from death to life who are dead to sin and alive unto righteousness such as have passed thorow much sorrow and many tribulations and hath seen the travail of their souls and are satisfied with the birth of the immortall seed which is borne and brought forth in them they in whom the righteous seed is raised and the unrighteous nature destroyed which was dead in sin and transgression and made alive unto God and now lives in the light the life of righteousness are the Church of God the House of God the tabernacle of the most high and in them the Lord of Hosts is sanctified who will be sanctified in all that draw nigh unto him and in ye who are raised up in the life and power of truth and righteousness is the living praises for the living praises God the dead cannot praise him the life which through the operation of the Eternal spirit is raised which purgeth from sin and iniquity glorifies God and praises God and these are the living stones on which the Church of God is builded who are borne of the immortall seed whose delight is to walk in the Counsell of the Lord and to serve and obey him which cannot delight in themselves nor in their own works and truly it is not grievous to the living stones the Babes born of God to follow the Counsell of their Father for it is the nature of the seed of God to doe the will of him who hath through the power of his free love and tender mercy begotten it unto himself ye in whom the babe immortal is born and brought forth can seal to the truth of this though to many it may seem to be a strange doctrine who be ignorant of the work of God and knows not the birth of the seed immortall but truly I know that as Iohn saith that the Commandements of the Lord out God are not grievous unto us his Children Ioh. 5.3 who are begotten and borne of him but rather joy us yea it is our joy to serve the Lord our God and to keep his pure Commandements as it was the delight of his faithfull servant David to walk in his
