entred into the Rest out of the Toil of old Adam for they are grafted into him who was before old Adam was For Unbelievers in the Light are grafted into old Adam in Transgression And the Believers in the Light which is the Life in Christ are grafted into Christ the Word by which all things were made and Created So here is perfect true Freedom and Liberty And likewise the true Liberty and Freedom is in the Grace which brings Salvation and not Destruction and teaches to live Godly not Ungodly and Soberly not Unsoberly and Righteously not Unrighteously and teaches to deny the World and not to cleave to it and to follow it This Grace stablishes the Heart and seasons the Words the Fruits of its Liberty and Freedom will manifest it self And also the True Liberty in the pure holy Spirit of God and Christ doth baptize and plunge down that which is gotten up by Transgression in Man and Woman and Circumcises and cuts off the Body of Death and Sin in the Flesh that is gotten up in Man and Woman by Transgression and mortifies and kills that which would grieve vex or quench the Motions of the pure Spirit of God so that in this holy pure Spirit of this pure God and Christ is the holy pure Freedom and Liberty over all Bondage and false Liberties and Freedoms And the Fruits of this pure Spirit is pure Love Righteousness and Godliness Patience Temperance and Humility by which Spirit all are made to drink into one Spirit so that all are the living Wells that have their living Water from God and Christ their true and living Fountain and in which Spirit they have a holy and spiritual Fellowship in this Baptizing Mortifying Circumcising Spirit yea one with another and with the Son and the Father also through which the Love of God warms every one Heart But when the Love of many waxes cold as Christ saith then they go from this Grace Light Truth Power and Spirit and the Anointing and the Word of God in their own Hearts then such turn to be Betrayers and not Saviours upon Mount Sion And against such God's swift Judgment turns and suddainly falls though they may cry for a time Liberty Freedom and Peace Peace but a Day of Trouble will overtake them ere they are aware And therefore all ye Friends of Christ Jesus stand fast in that Liberty wherewith Christ Jesus hath made you free by his Light Grace Truth Spirit Faith and Everlasting Gospel the Everlasting Power of God which is an Everlasting Freedom and Liberty above all Bondage and false fallen Liberties and Freedoms in this glorious Gospel and glorious joyful Liberty where all may exercise God and Christ's holy Gifts in his holy supernatural Light Grace Truth Spirit and divine Faith Word of Life and the Gospel which Word cannot be bound with all the World's Cords or Chains for it is a Fire to burn and a Hammer to break and a Sword to cut in pieces and therefore Love the Word and keep the Word of Patience and the Lord will keep you for it is a tryed Word and it will keep you in all Tryals which shall come upon all the World to try them for the Word was before the World was and will be when the World is gone which all the new born Babes of the incorruptible Seed of the Milk of the Word grow by it up into an immortal Life and Kingdom that is without End Glory and Praises to the Lord God forever And now ye Babes of Christ If the World do hate you it hated Christ your Lord and Master also if they do meek and reproach and defame and buffet you they did so to your Lord and Master also who was and is the Green Tree that gives Nourishment to all his Branches his Followers Now if the World do persecute you and take away your Goods or Clothes was not your Lord and Master so served did not they cast Lots for his Garments was not he haled from the Priests to Herod and before Pontius Pilate and spit upon and if they hate thee and spit upon thee he was hated and spit upon for thee did he not go to Prison for thee and was he not mocked and scourged for thee did not he bow to the Cross and Grave for thee he who had no Sin neither was Guile found in his Mouth and did he not bear thy Sins in his own Body upon the Tree and was he not scourged for thee by whose Stripes we are healed did not he suffer the Contradiction of Sinners who dyed for Sinners and went into the Grave for Sinners and dyed for the Ungodly yea tasted Death for every man who through Death destroyed Death and the Devil the power of Death and is risen for Death and the Grave could not hold him nor the Powers and Principalities with all their Guards and Watches could not hold him within the Grave but he is risen and is ascended far above all Principalities Powers Thrones and Dominions and is set down at the Right Hand of God and remaineth in the Heavens till all things be restored And he is restoring with his Light Grace Truth Power Spirit Faith Gospel and Word of Life so that you read of some that came to sit together in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus And therefore all must bow at the Name of Jesus their Saviour in his Light Grace Truth Power Spirit and Gospel for he hath bowed for you if you rise with him And you must suffer with him if you will reign with him and dye with him if you will live with him And all that are dead and ●●●yed with Christ and are risen with him they will seek those things that come down from above where Christ sits at the Right Hand of God and there you will seek those things which come down from above and not those things which are below For those which seek those things that are below are the Tallers of God and Christ and the Prophets and the Apostles words but they are not dead with Christ nor risen with him and therefore they cannot seek those things that come down from Heaven where Christ sits at the Right Hand of God But they are them that seek the things that are Above that are dead with Christ and risen with him they I say do seek those things which come down from Heaven where Christ sits at the Right Hand of God and they have not only sought them but have found them and received them and come to sit together in Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus a safe established and heavenly sitting in a heavenly Rest and Habitation in Christ Jesus who is the First and Last and over all from Everlasting to Everlasting Blessings and Praises over all be to the Lord God through him forever Amen The Eternal living God of Truth he is a God of Order and is not the Author of Confusion but of Peace in all the Churches of the Saints Now the Author of
