the enemy adversary of all mankind and to this did the true Christians attain in this life even a perfect Redemption from sin and did witness the Blood of Christ sufficient to purge them from all unrighteousness and saith the Apostle he which hath Suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin Marke such ceased from sin and witnessed the body of sin put off and again the Apostle Paul saith unto the Romans when they were Servants unto sin they were free from righteousness being then made free from sin they Became the servants of righteousness So these things did the true Christians come to witness though you are not ashamed to take their words to plead for the Devils Kingdome as long as you live though the Apostle saith His servants ye are to whom ye obey So he which obeys sin is a servant of sin and the Apostle James saith let no man say When he is tempted that he is tempted of God for God tempteth not to evil but when a man is tempted unto lust he is tempted of the Devil and lust when it is conceived brings forth sin and sin when it is finished brings forth death so be not deceived with vain words For such as you sow such shall you reape if you sow to the Spirit ye shall of the Spirit reape life everlasting but if to the flesh ye shall of the flesh reape corruption for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life So come all to the gift of God which is the Light of Christ Jesus which he hath enlightened you withall and you will come to know the free grace of God unto Salvation which will teach you to deny all ungodly lusts and not to plead for them and to live Soberly and righteously in this present evil world Marke this is the fruit and effect of the Grace of God and is not onely given to talke of and say you are saved by grace while you turn from it in wantonness which the Saints and Christians did not but came through the Cross to be saved even from sin and being redeemed from their vain conversation which they lived in in times past so witnessed a new birth which was of God which sinned not being washed with water by the word which word is Christ the Saviour of the soul and all who comes to know the word abiding in them they do know and witness this state even a perfect state from sin and that was their boldness in the day of Judgement that as Christ was so were they in this present world perfect even as their Father which is in Heaven is perfect So here is a true measuring line for you to measure your selves by what stock and lineage ye are of and who is your Father and whom ye obey for the true Christians Christ was their Example in all things and left them a perfect Example that they should follow his steps who said Learn of me for I am meeke and lowly in heart and the true Christians followed him and were like minded in all things Friends my hearts desire is to the Lord for you that you may be saved and come to the knowledge of truth which truth will make you free from sin and pollution though this thing stumbled the Jews when Christ spake it unto them for they looked out at some worldly thing not considering they were servants to sin which was the cause of all their misery Therefore be ye warned and fear pleading for that which will be your utter destruction if ye live and die in it read through the whole Book of Scripture and see if ever any Covenant of God stood with any Nation or people but as they did forsake their sins or were there ever any people to whom God did so largely manifest himself as unto the Jews and yet when they forsooke the holy Commandement which was delivered unto them did not the Lord forsake them yea verily and will all who do the like But if any of you shall say they were under a Covenant of workes and we under grace were they not under the Covenant of grace as well as any yea verily in all their travels did not the spiritual Rocke follow them which was Christ And after the Law was administred unto them by Moses did not he preach the true and living faith unto them saying they were not to say Who shall ascend or go beyond the Seas that they may hear and do it but what said he The word is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart that ye may do it and was not this the same word of faith the Apostle Preached yea even the living faith which gives dominion over sin Hell Death and the Grave by which all the Saints of old had their glorious dominion and by which the Just liveth and they who come to witness this true and living faith they know a Shield against all the fiery darts of the Devil which faith Worketh by love and love fulfilleth the whole law of God which is to love God with all thy heart and thy neighbour as thy self So here is the true faith and the man which is in it does unto all men as he would all should do unto him which is the true Christians life and there is not another Oh! how doth my soul pitty you to see the blindness and ignorance you are fallen into though ye pretend the Scripture to be your rule which condemns you in all your practises as will plainly appear when you come to be tried by them doth any thing availe but a new Creature doth not the Scripture say and also doth not Christ say Except ye be converted and become as a little child ye cannot inherit the Kingdome of Heaven And againe Except ye be born againe ye cannot see the Kingdome of God Is there any true Christians but who witness this state and birth nay verily there is not any but those who followeth Christ through the Regeneration who cometh to sit with him in his Fathers Kingdome Is there any who do not suffer with him that shall Reigne with him Consider these things in the coole of the day and do not any longer take up a rest and a security in a beare name but come to the nature and then you will witness a true redemption out of all earthly affections and not plead for them but loath them for the Saints conversation was in Heaven which are above you which plead for beggarly lust which shuts out of the Kingdome For no uncleane thing can enter there These things I speake unto you in great plainness and singleness of heart as I am moved of the Lord that ye may come to the true Salvation from sin for who knoweth Christ and his power knoweth him to be in vertue as he is in name even A Saviour of his people from their sins therefore is his name called Jesus God hath sworne that he delighteth not in the death of a sinner
