But though it is thus that some are entred into the rest and have received of his fulnesse and hath the Testimony of Life and assurance in the Father and are risen with Christ yet are you and we and all the children of the Father so set and placed in this Creation as that there is an enemy to be ruled over and also a service to be fulfilled by us for the Lord that hath chosen us and therefore watchfulnesse and faithfulnesse is required from us And unto this I cannot but exhort you all even to walk in the fear of the Lord in watchfulnesse and faithfulnesse in humility and meeknesse in truth and justice and in every good thing and that you fulfil the Will of the Lord in all things whatsoever the motions of his own life draws you unto that every member of this infinite Body which is highly exalted at his right hand may be preserved in dominion over sin and death and also may shew forth the Honour and Glory and Praise of him who is the head even Christ whose virtue hath annointed every member and is shed abroad through the whole body I say Friends of every member is required the duty and service thereunto pertaining according as it is placed of him that the Treasure of Life may shew forth its virtue in one manner or another through you all in all well doing to the glory of him who is God above all and that in the sight of your enemies whom you know watches for evil and would rejoice in any occasion against you that they might speak evil of the Lord because of you you may walk without offence in the answer of a Good conscience and if you walk as such as are the Lords you will cut off all occasions from them that seek it and they will be confounded and you preserved in the blessedness and peace everlasting and you will grow in immortality and into the knowledge and fulnesse thereof more and more till you know the Father even as you are known of him And be not unmindeful of the word of Lord wch begat you wch first entred into your hearts wrought mightily in you to the wounding and destroying of death and emnity and remember the travel of the dayes past and the indignation which once you felt because of sin through the Word of God and the Word endures for ever of which you are begotten and if any appearance of iniquity or motion thereunto arise in you into desire to be fulfilled the word will quench it and give you dominion over sin and death and save you from the effects thereof for the word changes not but is the same alwayes but if man change and pervert his way into iniquity it reproves and corrects and so delivers him for this word keeps clean the heart and it sanctifies and also keeps in subjection the mortal man with all his thoughts desires and actions and destroys the man of sin the sinful man by whom the whole Creation hath been corrupted and perverted into evil in its practise of degenerate man and if you forget the word then iniquity prevails again and the love of this world and its vanities and the riches and pleasures of the mortal man steals away the heart and they possesse the habitation of God unrighteously and all things are become sinful and the body of death comes over the pure Life and peace with God in the Conscience is lost and that because the word of God is forgotten which once begat unto God and where the unclean spirit enters again the latter end of such is worse then the beginning more sinful against God and more hated of him and therefore let none follow the way of such for it leads to death and darknesse and misery will be the end of it But Friends mind him and feel his power who is the preserver of men in Peace and Righteousnesse and let not up that part in you into liberty into which Satan enters and sowes his Seed of degeneration but live in the Cross of Christ and in the meek and lowly Spirit that you may not do your own wills but the Will of the Father and may fear him and his goodnesse and that subjecteth the ground of temptations that sin cannot prevail so shall your peace be everlasting and your life as a River of pleasure and joy and gladnesse shall be your daily portion and the Lord shall never forsake you but be unto you a Tower of strength and habitation of peace and a Crown of victory and Reward in this present time and for ever And if ye abide in Christ the Vine into which you are planted by Regeneration then will your fruit be of the Vine and acceptable unto the Father who is the good Husbandman and through his vertue you will grow into perfection as partaining to the conscience where all guilt of sin is taken away and the burden of iniquity and body of death clean removed away from you for that is perfection as pertaining to the conscience where sin and transgression is done away and power received over it both in motion and action and the guilt of it and the conscience sprinkled with the imortal blood of the Lamb and no stain nor guilt remaining but peace altogether by the holy spirit in the conscience and this is perfection which was not attained to by outward things in the first covenant but is witnessed in the second which the Lord hath made with us and confirmed unto us where sin iniquity is blotted out and innocency immortality lives and raigns and such stands before the throne of God without fault before him no guile in their mouthes and these sings the song of the Lamb of the Redeemed where all sorrow is fled away if so be that the burden and guilt of all tansgression be removed then there is no cause of sorrow and blessed are they that dwells here and that are entred into the everlasting rest even into God for he is the rest of the immotal soul and the life of it and if ye know these things ye have satisfaction and comfort which none knows but they that have it it s the portion of the redeemed whose Father Master Ruler Judg and King is the Lord God and the Lamb and we are sujects of that Kingdom and free born of that City the Heavenly Ierusalem and we are made free through the price of immortal blood and then how can any of you that are such serve this world and the vanities of it by any immoderate care or desire or exercise in earthly things for this is the bondage of Egypt but the children are free from it and are not intangled concerning the things of this world but they are subjected under and the inheritance of a better portion is their crown substance and Esaus portion is the earth he that hath no assurance in God wherefore live above this world in the seed of God and be without
