SOME ADDITION TO A FORMER PAPER ENTITULED A SHORT DECLARATION of the Purpose and Decree of the Everlasting COUNSEL of GOD'S HEAVENLY HOST concerning his Royal Seed to demonstrate the nobleness of its Operation and how God doth manifest it And is an ANSWER in short to a QUESTION as followeth How God doth manifest this noble and honourable Seed in Man in which is the glory of it magnified by its own workings in all that believe to their Justification Salvation Redemption and Glorification and to the Condemnation of them that resist it By a Lover of it and one who waits for its Exaltation over all and hath travelled and suffered for its sake WILLIAM BREND London Printed for R. Wilson 1663. Some ADDITION to a former PAPER Entituled A Short Declaration of the Purpose and Decree of the Everlasting Counsel of God's Heavenly Host c. OH thou Off-spring of God! Who can set forth the glory of thy Conception Birth and Being and the Womb that bears thee and brings thee forth and the Breast that gives thee suck and those Paps from whence thy nourishment comes Thou noble Seed and Plant and Babe of everlasting bliss my soul delights in the glorious beauty of thy exceeding comliness in every part of thy Body which art joyned to so glorious a Head which gives thee thy Being in himself who is over all Principalities and Powers the Triumph over Death Hell and the Graves sitting on the Throne of exceeding Dominion and Authority over all The almighty Power which is the beginning of the Creation of God is the first of thy Conception the Father of all Mercies from the bosom of his eternal Love and Counsel doth this Seed issue forth which is of perfect purity and clearness and uniteth not with any thing of that which defileth For that which defileth riseth out of that part which standeth in the transgression and in that Nature and Being which is not of God but of the Devil the Father of lyes and all false conceptions which stand in the time of the fall from God the seed of the Serpent which was brought forth since the Creation in the disobedience But thou noble Seed of the everlasting God who wert before Creation was or had a being in this Earth whose goings forth have been manifested in time though thou hadst thy Being in God before all time who wert and art the Fathers delight because it was from his own loynes and bosom of his eternal Love Quest How doth God manifest this noble Seed in Man Answ God who is Light doth shine forth by his Son who is the Light of himself in the hearts consciences of men which are in darkness and covered with the shadow of death which death came upon all men for the disobedience sake the Light is manifested to shew unto men that they are so in death and darkness and separated from God who is Light that they lie under his wrath and are in anguish wo and misery without any hope of recovery as from themselves or any power under Heaven And therefore this Light is God's Witness set in Man to reprove judge and condemn smite and check that which disobeys and sins against it and brings the sorrow and anguish upon the sinner as a reward for his iniquity And herein is the free Love of God manifested unto the world that he hath sent his onely begotten Son into the World who is the Light of the world that whosoever believeth in him who is Light in them should not perish nor abide in darkness but shall have the Light of Life Therefore the way to know this noble Seed and how God doth manifest it in man is to know and believe in the Light that shines in the dark hearts of the sons of men and as thou comest to hearken to its reproof and believe in that which shews thee the secrets of thy deceitful heart It will manifest its self in its power to discover unto thee that thou art not ruled by it but by the power of the Devil and the lustful deceits of thy own corrupt heart while thou standest in the unbelief and disobedience to the Light and by the power of the Light of the Son of God thou wilt see and be sensible of the strength power of sin and corruption and as the Light doth arise in thee thou believing of it wilt see unbelief and sin to be exceeding sinful and sin appearing in its nature and kind And this is the first operation of the Light after the mind is turned to it and convinced by it to let thee see thy state and condition that thou art without God and Christ in the world which nothing can discover but the Light nor make thee sensible of but the power of the same which is the measure of this noble Seed which God hath sown And Light is sown to the Righteous and this will bring thee thou following it which convinceth of sin and unrighteousness to receive and love the Light and so in his Light to see Light and to bring all thy deeds to the Light and to hate thy evil deeds and to love the Light that doth make them manifest and so thy heart being made manifest unto thee and thy sins set as in order before thee and the Light rising up in thee in its power judgement and condemnation then thou wilt come to abhor thy self for all thy abominations and this will make thee cry out What shall I do to be saved And to say O miserable man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death And there will be a hope begotten in thee to make thee in thy self to wait to know the Saviour and Redeemer that comes out of Sion and turns away ungodliness from Jacob. And so thou waiting in the Light which doth work such an effect as is before mentioned then thou wilt feel striving in thee Jacob and Esau the elder and the younger but the elder is to serve the younger Jacob the pure plant and Seed of the Promise the everlasting Covenant of God the Seed of the Woman which is to break the Serpents head And the ruffe seed Esau the seed of the Serpent the seed of God's Curse these will war one against another but the seed of the Covenant and of the Promise is pure clean and just single and upright and wars in righteousness for it is of the righteous God and therefore wars against the subtile seed of the Serpent the cunning hunter shister deceitful unclean profane wild airy flashy empty and is void of the knowledge of God which the pure noble Seed of the Woman the seed of the Covenant of Life cannot have unity with nor own any of its wayes or wild workings but discovers him in all his strong holds of sin and iniquity which rebells against the righteous Law of God who is the onely Lord and Law-giver And that is the cause of the righteous war of the Lord God in
