pure calls and knocks of the Lord there and turn in your minds to it to know what it speaks and be it known unto such it speaks judgement and condemnation to the sinner and reproof and alway calls to turn from sin and from the vanities of the world which lies in wickedness and to turn to the Lord that so from him they may find mercy and plentious redemption and to feel after his Son who is Life and the quickening spirit without which no man can know redemption from sin nor reconciliation with God and so not peace with him Nor none can worship the Lord in truth but as they witness a measure of the Resurrection of the Just and the Just is not witnessed but by that Power that kills the sin and slays the transgression and then that is known which passeth thorow the death and darknes and overcomes him which hath the power of death that is the Devil which is the Life of Jesus Christ the Son and Word of God which Life of Jesus doth arise in the destroying of the death and overcoming of him who is the Power and King of death then Life is known to rule in man by the power of him that raised Jesus from the grave and this quickens the mortal body and then Life rules and it treads down sin and Satan's power under the royal feet of his divine Power and Authority who is God blessed for ever Oh therefore wait and watch to know that which is the weight of God's Power that it may arise over that which lies as a burthen upon the Just Principle of God and that that may be removed and that which is as a weight and burden of and from the Lord that it may be known and believed in and that is it that will take off the weight of sin that presseth down the soul And so waiting in the watchfulness sence of feeling will more and more be witnessed and of discerning to know the one from the other by which discerning as it increaseth in you you will come to know the movings of the pure power of God and the weight of his Law of Commands that you may be obedient unto them that in so doing you may come to eat the good of the Land and also you will come to know the working of the deceitful part and the imaginary part which is not of God and it will work in a Mystery but as thou feelest that which is pure in thee thou wilt also feel a love raised up in thee to it which riseth from its nature and growth then thou wilt watch unto that which is pure that it may stay thy mind then thou wilt know a guide unto thy mind which thou must know infallibly in thy self and this is a stay to fix upon which is sure steadfast certain and infallibly true which is the measure of the gift of God the Light Life and Seed of his eternal Spirit of holiness And this being known and witnessed in thee then thou wilt know a sure certain retiring place to retire unto in all times of need and this in thee and herein wilt thou know the Standard of the Lord set up in thy heart and it is to be sled unto when the enemy doth assault thee and comes in like a flood upon thee as he may do to seek to drown thee and to drive thee from this sure refuge But this is the strong Tower which is the Name of the Lord it being fled unto and this everlasting Rock being built upon the gates of Hell and Death cannot prevail against it And herein comes the glorious Renown of the royal Seed and Off-spring of God to be witnessed which gives and gets the victory over all sin and brings in everlasting righteousness And as all stand in the Light the righteous Power they will witness and feel stirring in them which will beget a true hungring after the everlasting righteousness of God and that by it alone they may be covered and so will wait and watch to have it more and more revealed in them and so to receive it into their hearts and then nothing more desirable unto such then to be covered with the same and the power of it will so inflame your heart with love to it because of the nature of it which will burn up not only your unrighteousness but your righteousness also and so you will come to be acquainted with that which abides for ever and evermore the Life of the Son of God which will make free from the Law of sin and death and then sin shall not have Dominion over them which walk not after the flesh but after the spirit no nor their righteousness they will not glory in at all for now they are not under the Law but under the free Grace of God which believe in the glorious Light of the glorious Gospel of the blessed God and this comes to be multiplied in and upon their hearts and the manyfolds of it comes to be known and read within and herein they come to be established and setled and grounded in the eternal Truth as it is Jesus though they may meet with many oppositions in the travel of its workings for many and great will be the tryals and temptations in their passing forth of Egypts Land of darkness and out of the shadow of death woe sorrow and perplexity before they come to the Land of Canaan the Land of Rest and Peace and Quietness and Assurance for ever yet in all the tryals and tribulations they meet with in passing out of darkness to walk in the Light believing in it and minding of it the Power of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth which is the Light will be with them that receive the Light the Witness of God placed in them to be their Leader and Guide by his Pillar of Fire by night when it is dark upon them to shew them the way that they should go or by his Cloud by day as it will seem a Cloud to them but light to him who is Light to guide them for they may go too fast and be too hasty therefore he will stop them that they may be subject to him both in their journying and standing still they that can receive it let them that know what I say that so all may be acquainted with the motion of God in all particulars that they may not onely have the Light which all have though they be not guided by it which is the true guide and way to God and everlasting rest but that they may know it assuredly by the true and infallible testimony of it self in them by the daily exercise of it and so the strength they daily feel to be renewed upon them in their hearts and so they will come to know the Life of it to be an everlasting refuge to sly unto in all times of need tryals and temptations and so they come to grow in the strength of the Almighty God who hath
