packed up together so many Scriptures as if yo● believed Christ and salvation by him as they bear record to him knowing you dance as in a Net concern my self to direct these Quaries unto you for explanation that the truth which is pure in it self may not be vailed through false glosses and you returning a Christian like answer to what is here presented in truth and simplicity without Serpentime twinings and false glosses will give us hope that at length 〈◊〉 you believe the scriptures that you have so largely in show brought you may come to sit down with the children of Christ in the Faith tha● leads up unto Eternal Life which if it may appear I shall hope you insides may come to be much better known then they are now being through Faith washed in the blood of the Lamb whatever your outside ●e And you my old Acquaintance to you I write as one from God that have found mercy from believing and depending upon his Name by Jesus Christ who is the glass that you may see his glory in him being ●is glass in whose Face the glory of the Father only can be seen and ●●owing that your inward Man of your hearts is in bondage by the ●onds of darkness in your inward deeps and

cannot come forth although it has the promise from the covenant that God hath made to Christ that by his blood ●e will send it forth out of the deep Pit wherein there is no waters And therefore I say to you that the Principle upon which you bot●om being not Christ but light of and in Nature is nor that that can ●eliver your Souls out of the Jaws of Death and bring you into the ●and of rest for worm Jacob the hidd n man in the heart obtaineth ●ot unto Gods salvation although for it is ordained from ●he purchasement of our Lord Jesus Christ till that the bright ●eams of the Lord the Christ

creatures by make from the first Adam is not the light of which I speak that is his habitation for his Saints For he that said I am the light and he that believes on me shall not walk in darkness but I will raise them up at the last day is Christ Jesus who was put to death in the flesh b● justified in the Spirit that he may give light and life to all them th● believe on him and in Faith obey to the receiving of the promise b● of the light of and in man he saith if the light in you be darkness how gre● is that darkness but of the light that proceeds from the Sun thus he spea● the light

ear hath not hear nor eye hath not seen what the father hath prepared for them that love him Which being the light of the Gospel far excels the light in Natu● which God as Soveraign Lord hath planted in mans heart for ma● guide to lead him out of himself to Christ the second Adam by who● the entring in is into the rest that God hath prepared for them befo● the World was made And my old friends I would that none of you fall short of entring into his rest by unbelief through the zeal you bear to your Preacher that teach you an entrance by work of obedience to the light of Natu● in you for verily such Preachers preach to you voluntary humil● that they may glory in your flesh Wherefore it doth remain to y● to walk in the way that is appointed that leads up into his rest least any mistakes by witchcraft in Spirit you take the way of your own i●vention and fall short of entring into his rest For that it is cert●● that by no other way under Heaven we can enter into this rest b● by Faith in him who is both Lord and Christ For him hath God s●ed Wherefore look ye up unto him who is arisen from the dead a is ascended into the majesty on high where the principalities a● powers

heard within your hearts your dead hearing the voice the Son of God comes forth and lives and without his voice 〈◊〉 you up you dye eternally whatever you say from your believing in ●itness of your consciences for your Saviour For here it is not of ●n thrt willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that sheweth a mercy ●ake heed that no man deceive you For the Spirit foreseeing what ●ould be in the latter days foretold a departure from the Faith and at men should rise up bringing in most o amnable Errors denying the ●rd that bought them and many should follow their pernicious ways of ●em the way of truth should be evil spoken off For verily he that entreth ●to his rest must come in by Christ the door without which there is no ●●p But you rejecting him and taking to your selves another way
