Light wherewith you are lightned even by so much you are short of the true way of the Kingdom of God John 14.6 John 8.12 John 1.9 For be it known unto you of a truth That the way is but one the truth is but one and that one is Christ the Light of the world which lighteth every man that cometh into the world Ephes 4.4 5 6. 1 John 1.5 James 1.17 Wherefore be ye not ignorant that there is only one true body one spirit one hope of the true calling one Lord one Faith one Baptisme and one communion of the Lords body one God who is Light the eternal Father of all who are children born of the Light wherewith they are lighted which cometh from God the Father of Light unto life everlasting This then is the witnesse to the whole world and the message to the whole world and the tryal of the whole world their wayes their words their works and their worships all whose deeds are wrought in the Light they in the Light have peace and their hearts doth not condemn them but such who professe God and the Truth in Christianity and yet are Swearers and Lyars Thieves Whores Whoremongers Cheaters Covetous Proud Envious Hard-hearted Mockers Scorners Drunkards Gluttons Abusers of themselves with mankind who in worse nature than the beasts nature change the naturall use of the creature into that which is against nature these walking working and acting contrary to the Light in all their consciences with the Light are judged and condemned and this is the condemnation of all the wicked world John 3.19 That Light is come into the world and men love darknesse rather than Light because their deeds are evill And such are not an honour unto God nor a praise unto Christ whose life savours not of the Truth nor of the nature of Christianity their profession shall in no wise be unto their Justification But in how much they have professed the name of Christ who is the Light and made the profession of his name the Cloak of their unrighteousnesse even by so much the more will the Light in all their consciences be the aggravation of their misery through judgement unto condemnation Unto this one therefore must all come to be made partakers of the everlasting inheritance of salvation even unto the Light which cometh from Christ by it to be led unto Christ who is the Life and Light of men John 1.4 Isa 42.6 Isa 49.6 Luke 2.32 who is the salvation of the Prophets whom they prophesied of saying I will also give thee for a Covenant of the people for a Light of the Gentiles to open the eyes of the blind to bring out the Prisoners from the Prison and them that sit in darknesse out of the Prison house that thou mayest be my salvation to the ends of the earth On whom also the Apostles believed who through Faith in the Light and obedience to the Light wherewith they were lightned were made partakers of the purchase of the blood and promise of the Covenant to wit the salvation of their souls And behold this is the Ensign and Standard of the Lord which was set up for the fall and is now setting and set up for the rising again of many in Luke 32.34 35. Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against by whom shall come the revelation and ripping open of all thoughts and hearts Ye people all upon the face of the whole earth unto that in all your consciences which revealeth unto you all unrighteousnesse and the prophanesse and rottennesse of your own hearts and the wickednesse of your own thoughts words and works which also is the revelation of the terrible indignation and of the wrath of God against all the ungodly and workers of iniquity even unto that light in all your consciences must ye all be joyned your hearts must be given unto it to be led and to be ordered and guided by it that you may come to witnesse a new Life begotten by the Light in you John 3.3 for except a man be born again he cannot see nor enter into the Kingdom of Heaven As your minds come therefore to be joyned to the Light wherewith you are lightned you by the witness of perfect subjection and obedience to the pure motions of it will come to know the true and everlasting testimony of the Lord and be made partakers of the hope of the heavenly calling and your confidence not as in the dayes of vanity sin and death will be gathered into the one substance of the spirit of Life in which you will come to see what is the glory of the living body which liveth by the faith of the Son of God Your baptisme will not be as in the dayes under the power of the Elements For as much as the Testimony of the life of Jesus is the fulfilling of Scriptures John he said that Christ who was the substance should increase but he who baptized with the Elements as the figure should decrease Math. 3.11 signifying also the baptisme of Christ that it should be with fire and the Holy Ghost which he testified concerning him John 1.26 27. of whom he said There standeth one among you of whom ye know not he it is who cometh after me is preferred before me the same also is he which hath been in the world John 1.11 as a stranger upon the earth who came unto his own but his own received him not whose life is manifest through the Revelation of the light wherewith the whole world is lightned which leadeth unto the knowledge and witnesse of his Baptisme Eph 4.5 Crosse Death Resurrection Life and Communion of his eternal body and this is the baptisme which the Apostle testified is only One even the baptisme of the Holy Ghost and with fire which John said should encrease through the decrease of the water Flesh and blood revealeth none of these things concerning the Kingdome of God which is a mystery unto all the world how great therefore is the ignorance of the world to administer those things which they call Ordinances unto Infants which things are Parables and altogether hidden things in the substance from the wisdome of the world which if the Revelation and Life of the substance be not unto the elder what profiteth then the Traditional washings or sprinklings which neither is by commandement or manifest example in the Scriptures unto the infancy of the younger and what can their Infancy through the figures reach fathom or feel concerning the substance let the worlds Fathers answer this for them Unto the crosse therefore of the Lord Christ Jesus ye ought to come which neither is gold nor silver nor brasse nor iron nor any other mettal nor wood nor stone nor Image of bone or any other dead creature but this is the everlasting testimony of the Crosse of Christ Jesus Luke 22.42 Father not my will but thy will be done he that hath

an ear to hear let him hear and he that understandeth not nor knoweth this is yet under his own hour and power of darknesse Understand therefore that the manifestation of the will of God is in and through the Light wherewith you are lightned which cometh from Christ the true light of the world which lightneth every man that cometh into the world unto which Light in all your consciences your minds must be subject you must wait upon God with your minds in the Light your hearts turned to it that you may witnesse the power of it ruling and reigning in you and working through every Member of your mortal bodies bringing your wils under it and subduing and subjecting your affections to it this is the true Crosse of Christ Jesus to take up the Crosse and to walk in Crosse unto your wills and affections which take up Images and take delight and pleasure in Pictures and imaginary likenesses of the Crosse of Christ Jesus and to walk as quickned Members in crosse to your whole life as it now stands in the nature and lust of uncleanness sin and death in the enmity to the Life and power of God and mystery of Godlinesse in crosse to your foolish airy childish vanities of Beads Bracelets and other Traditional Superstitions and Idolatries which things are but the signification of folly and childishnesse in the first nature which receiveth not the knowledge nor things of God the Light also wherewith you are lightned Eph 5.4 must guide your minds and stay your hearts and thoughts upon God and lead you also in crosse unto the Lightness and wickedness of your lives which stand in the pleasure of vain jesting and idle foolish talking Rom. 13 13. in surfeiting and drunkennesse in chambering and wantonnesse strife and envying in the ground of all manner of sin iniquity and mischief which produces and yields the fruits of lying swearing pride covetousness cheating and defrauding adulteries and whoredomes dissimulation robberies and desperate murders even in that evill and cursed ground where man is droven from the presence of God under the power of the agreement of Hell and death alienated and estranged from the Covenant of Life yoaked under blindness and chayned with the blackness of darkness shut out of the Garden of pleasure and Paradice of God where nothing can restore the losse which came by transgression but the power of the Cross of Christ Jesus which worketh death to the disobedient and carnall There is none other entrance now unto the tree of Life which he that eateth not thereof dyeth in and perisheth unto everlasting death but through the flaming sword which is set at Edens gates Gen 3.24 to keep the way of the Tree life Can your eye read or your ear hear for your hearts to receive this ye vain scoffers at the Saints entrance into the holy City and Paradise of God You are witnesses to your selves that your Inheritance is not in the Kingdome of Heaven which is like unto a grain of Mustard-seed Math 13.31 which also is likened unto an Onion seed whose perfect fruit being taken out of the natural earth yet quickly perisheth not but prospereth yielding growth from the body of the root more than all roots of the earth This is the work of Life the Cross which neither is likeness imitation nor Image of the things or nature of death but the mighty power of God which bringeth death unto death which hath passed over all men Rom 5.10 12. and reigneth over all men from Adam unto Moses even over all that have sinned who have not known Moses although their sin hath not been after the similitude of Adams transgression from lost Adam therefore unto Moses you must come to witness an entrance into Moses his house in whom was revealed the hope of the promise that should come to passe which also is come in power Rom 8.4 in the substance to them In whom the righteousnesse of the Law is fulfilled who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit who have seen the Prophets day and are come through the work of Johns cry in the wilderness Math 3.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. who are no more of the flesh as in the flesh working the works of the flesh but through the death of the Crosse are buried in the separation from the worships words and works of the first nature risen and born unto Life unto the inheritance of Redemption and Justification into the unchangeable Kingdome of the word of the Covenant where he that is least is greater then John the Baptist Math 11.11 who was the greatest Prophet borne of women and thus being passed and translated from death to life not as any longer under the power of sin are partakers of the Elements or subject unto the carnall Ordinances are altogether under and one with the power of the ministration of life in the communion of the Eternall body of the Lord and from your superstitions and Images and nature of iniquitie and transgression by the power of the Crosse of Christ Jesus ye must be changed through obedience to the motions of the Light in all your consciences into the Image of the glory of the second Adam who is the Lord from Heaven if ever ye shall come to witnesse a hope which will not wither to be Joyned unto the heireship of the promise of the Inheritance of the kingdome which Covenant was made only with Abraham and with the seed of Abraham born of the free-Woman Gen 22.16 which by the one Everlasting Oath of God is confirmed unto all that by the blood of sprinkling are entered into the City Heb 12.22 Rev 22.15 where not any thing that is defiled can come for without is the curse even over as many as stand in the ground without the compasse of the fence of the Paradice of God where are dogs and sorcerers and whore-mongers and murderers and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lye Repent Repent therefore the mighty day of the Lord God is at hand wherein he will sift the Nations as with the five of equitie and fanne the Inhabitants of the earth with the winde of his wrath and through all Nations will make an equall separation in Righteousnesse the Chaffe from the Wheate the Drosse and Reprobate from the refined Silver the just from the vile him that feareth God from him that feareth him not A day of woe to the wicked and of vengeance to the workers of iniquitie in which cometh to passe the Revelation of the Wrath and Indignation of God which is even ready to be revealed in flames of burning fire against all the ungodly A day of howling to the sonnes of Sodome and of everlasting lamentation to the daughters of Gomorrha Strength shall not defend you nor Art deliver you where then will you run for a refuge ye want the wings of the Sunne of the Morning to fly unto the ends of the earth
