A35833	The discovery of mans return to his first estate by the operation of the power of God in the great work of regeneration with a word to all saints who set their faces towards Sion to seek the Lord their God ... : a word to the back-slider who hath tasted of the good word of God ... : with a discovery of mystery-Babylon and her merchants .... / written by one whom the people of this world calls a Quaker, whose name in the flesh is William Deusbury, but hath a new name the world knows not written in the book of life.	Dewsbury, William, 1621-1688.	1655 (1655)	Wing D1260; ESTC R27296	24,653	32

the deeds thou hast done in the body and the sentence of wrath and judgement passed out of the mouth of the Lamb on thee for every idle word and all that thou hast done and in this thy condemned estate thou runnedst too and fro to hide thee from the wrath of the Lamb in reforming thy wayes and strictly observing what thou wast convinced of to bee the Will of God but what way soever thou turnedst in thy obedience towards God to get life thither the flaming sword turned that proceeded out of the mouth of the Lamb and cut thee down and cast thee into hell where thou lyest weeping and waling under the wrath of God sealed down under his eternall judgment for evermore for any help or power thou hadst in thy self untill Jesus Christ manifested eternal love and mercy freely to thy poor lost condemned soul and raised thee up to a lively hope and sealed thee up in the Covenant of life with his own blood Now after the witnesses have sealed up their testimony the Beast which is thy will that ascends out of the bottomlesse pit of thy deceived heart which is deceitful and desperately wicked hath made warre against the witnesses Christ in thee and slain them and they lie dead in the spiritual City of Sodom and Egypt where our Lord is Crucified and thou art made drunk with the wine of the wrath of the fornication of the whore and bewitched with her witch-crafts who now tells thee whom he loves he loves to the end and to the pure all things are pure thou art no more under the Law but under grace and all things are alike that when thou disobeyest the pure Law which once had power over thee and it witnesseth against thee secretly crying in thy heart use thy liberty but not as an occasion to the flesh thou regardest not the counsel of the Lord but harkens to the Mother of Harlots in thee and causes thee to wrest the Scriptures to thine own destruction and tels thee the Law hath no power over thee thou art under Grace it is but the Law in thy Members that wars against the Law in thy mind the acting of the humanity which acts in its place that the Grace of God may appear more gloriously God sees no sin in thee for it is no more thou but sinne that dwels in thee and the former misery thou was in under the wrath of God for the dis-obeying of the righteous Law thou now treadst under thy feet and lies slain in spriritual Sodom and Egypt in thy heart yet not put in grave but lies in thy sight and lets thee see the evil of thy doings and vexes and torments thy earthly and carnal heart in the midst of all thy joy but the Whore in thee tels thee that the former trouble thou wast in it was through the ignorance of God but now thou art grown up to a higher stature in Christ to see nothing but love in whatsoever thou doest and now thou knowest nothing but to eat and to drink and be merry for the Children of the Bride-Chamber cannot mourn while the Bride-groom is with them time was thou didst mourn but it was when the Bride groome was not with thee but now the Winter is past and Summer come and singing of birds is heard in thy land and now wash thy face and anoint thy head with Oyl that thou appear no more before men as thou didst when thou wast a Pharisee now to be a friend to Publicans and Sinners and become all to all that thou mayest win some and whatever thou doest it is God that acts thee for thou art not stronger than he to resist him and if hee would have it otherwayes how couldst thou hinder it so it is as it must be and it cannot be otherwise thus the subtle Serpent winds into the minde of man and causeth him to wrest the Scriptures to his own destruction to draw back into perdition Woe woe unto thee thou Back-slider in heart who chargest God who is purity it self to be the Authour of sinne and the actor of thee in all thy filthy and unrighteous walking and hast turned the Grace of God into wantonnesse and takest liberty to sinne because Grace abounds and makest the comming of Christ who came to fullfill the Law to destroy it through the evil of thy heart that when the righteous Law cries in thee for purity and condemns thee for thy unrighteous walking then thou fliest to the free Grace in Christ to save thee from the power of the Law but thou shalt finde the Law hath power over the fleshly man as long as hee lives and the fleshly man that now guides thee is under the Law untill it be destroyed through faith in Jesus Christ for he came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it and the Saints witnesse it though thou wrest the words of Paul when he declared his condition before he came to the fullnesse of stature in Christ to thy own destruction I see a Law in my members warring against the Law of my mind and brings mee into Captivity into the Law of sin which is in my Members but he gave not up himself to be a servant of sin as thou doest it was his burthen that made him to cry Oh wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death and he waited in the Faith untill hee was freed Romans 8. 2. For the I aw of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law of sin and death that the righteousnesse of the Law might bee fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit He witnessed Christ came in him to fullfill the Law and so do all the Saints now according to their growth some witness the Law fullfilled in them and others are waiting in the faith patiently following the Lord dayly through the Crosse until the Law be fulfilled But thou art departed from the counsel of the Lord thy God and caused his name to bee evil spoken of and hast made the hearts of his people sad as they did that the Apostle speaks of For many walk of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping that they are the enemie●… of the Crosse of Christ whose end ù destruction whose God is their belly and whose glory is their shame who mind earthly things These Scriptures are fullfilled in thee which the Apostle mentions And while they promise them liberty they themselves are the servants of corruption for of whom a man is overcome of the same is he brought into bondage for if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ they are again intangled therein and overcome the latter end of them is worse with them then the beginning for it had been better for them not to have known the

without the loving kindnesse of your Father in Christ Jesus Now is the parable fulfilled the little grain of Mustard-seed grown up above all hearbs and the little leaven hath leavened the whole lump and the Prodigal starved for ever if his father receive him not freely into his house Thou that canst witnesse this condition stand still in the will of God he wil raise up his seed in thee to trust in his name and to delight in the eternal Covenant of love and life he hath made with thy soul in the Lord Jesus Christ and wil guide thee by the word of his power in a way thou knowest not forth of Babylon where thou wast an inslaved captive under the power of the filthy beast which is thy wil and the whore the mother of Witchcrafts which is thy wisdome which inthralled thee under the power of darknesse to satisfie the lusts of thine own heart which led thee to destruction up to Sion to live by faith in the Lord Jesus which wil purifie thy heart and set thy soul free from under the powers of darknesse into the glorious liberty of the sons of God where thou shalt sing the songs of Sion Hallelujahs and Praises for evermore unto the Lord God that sits upon the Throne and to the Lamb for ever and ever To all inslaved heard-hearted and unbeleeving Iews in this Nation and elsewhere who are made drunk with the Wisdome of the Whore and bewitched through the abundance of Sorceries to put the day of the Lord a far off looking for Christs comming in the Spirit as the hard-hearted unbeleeving Iews in the letter did for his comming in the flesh according to the promise but they limited the holy one according to their carnal Wisdome expected his comming in great Pomp and Glory and when hee came in that poor despised way contrary to their expectations they stumbled at him and would not own him to be their Saviour but rose up against him and put him to death Matth. 27. 1 to 50. vers. BEhold you hard-hearted and unbelieving Jews do you not look for Christ coming in the Spirit according to his promise as they did for his coming in the flesh but you limit the holy one as they also did expecting Christ to come in power and glory according to your own fancies and so puts the day of the Lord a far off you in rejecting and despising the counsel of Jesus Christ the pure light in your Consciences which lets you see every evil thought word and action and cries behind you This is the way walk in it but you disobey the light and hearkens to the counsel of your hearts as the Jews in the letter did that put Christ to death and so you slay the witnesses in spiritual Sodom and Egypt in your hearts where our Lord is crucified in not regarding the counsel of Christ which is that light that shines in your dark hearts which knocks at the door according to his words I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and wil sup with him and he with me Oh thou inslaved soul under the power of Babylon in thee come forth mind the light in thee which is the sure word of prophesie whereunto you do wel to take heed as unto a light shining in a dark place until the day dawn and the day-star arise in your hearts stand not out against this secret counsel of Christ in you lest you perish in your gain-sayings for if his anger be kindled a little blessed are all they that trust in him All give up give up freely to be guided by the counsel of the Lord the light in you beleeving in his power that is present with the light he wil lead you dayly through the Cross in the streight way of his sufferings and death where the old man wil be put off with his deeds and so you shal have right to the tree of life and shal enter with him through the Gates into the City New Jerusalem where you shal have communion with the Father and the Son and an inheritance with those that are sanctified in Christ Jesus and shal reign as Kings upon Earth to the praise and glory of the riches of the grace of our heavenly Father to whom alone be all power dominion honour and glory for ever and ever FINIS Gen. 1. 26 27 Gen. 2. 15 16 17 Gen. 3. ●… to 16 Gen. 3. 22 23 24.
