washeth and cleanseth from all Sin know ye not saith Paul that the unrighteous shall not Inherit the Kingdom of God be not deceived neither Fornicators nor Drunkards nor Extortioners nor Idolaters nor Adulterers nor Effeminate nor Abusers of themselves with mankind nor Thieves nor Covetous nor Revilers shall inherit the Kingdom of God But such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are jbstified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God 1 Cor. 6.9 10 11. even as Christ loved his Church and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and cleanse it with the washing of Water by the Word that he might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle nor any such thing but that it should be Holy and without blemish Eph. 5.25 26 27. 7. This Baptism doth not only sanctifie but save For we our selves were sometimes foolish disobedient deceived serving divers lusts and pleasures living in malice and envy hateful and hating one another but after that the kindness and love of God appeared toward mankind not by works of Righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour Tit. 3.3 4 5. and thus saith Peter doth Baptism save us not the washing away the filth of the Flesh but the answer of a good Conscience towards God through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ 1 Pet. 3.20 so that Christ's Spirit Baptism by the Word is sufficient to us without John's Water Baptism for he that is truly washed from all filthiness of Flesh and Spirit and hath the Holy Ghost in him to wash cleanse renew and sanctifie his Nature to conform his judgement will and affection to the Image of Christ and to be in him as a Well of living Water springing up to everlasting Life what need hath he of Material Water under pretence of any Sign or Signification whatsoever either from Moses or John the Baptist when he is actually possessed of the real Truth and Substance of these Types and Figures in himself already And lastly touching the Lord's Supper which is a great Mystery above which all the worshipers in the Outward Courts since the Apostasie from the Spirit of Faith Power and Purity of the Primitive Church have been and are in darkness and confusion and at best resting satisfied with the external Shadow and Figure of the real Substance which is the true Spiritual Supper of the Lord not discerning the Lord's Body nay they are faln from the very outward form hereof as held forth by Christ Mat. 26.20 Luke 22.14 as he sate and the twelve Apostles with him and after his Resurrection he shewed himself to two of his Disciples in breaking of Bread as he sate with them Luke 24.30 which was practised by those Three Thousand converted by Peter's Sermon They continued stedfast in the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship and in breaking of Bread and in Prayer Acts 2.42 daily breaking Bread from House to House did eat their Meat with gladness and singleness of Heart praising God Acts 2.46 they did thus at all seasons even as often as they eat and drank they were to do it in remembrance of Christ to shew his Death till he come 1 Cor. 11.26 and blessed is that Servant saith our Saviour whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing But if the evil Servant shall say in his Heart my Lord delayeth his coming and begin to smite his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the Drunken the Lord of that Servant shall come in a day that he looketh not for him and in an hour that he is not aware of and shall cut him asunder and give him his portion with Hypocrites Mat. 24.46 to the end Wherefore such as live Voluptuously in Rioting and Excess in Hatred and Envy in Strife and Cruelty tho' they may be great pretenders to partake of the outward Bread and Wine and abide not stedfast in the Apostle's Doctrine who saith whether ye eat or drink or whatever ye do do all to the Glory of God 1 Cor. 10.31 but eat and drink to indulge the Flesh whose God is their belly These saith he in the 20 verse of this Chapter Sacrifice to and have fellowship with Devils and ye cannot drink the Cup of the Lord and the Cup of Devils Nor can ye partake of the Lord's Table and the Table of Devils verse 21. neither can they discern the Lord's Body nor shew his Death till he come And with such he is always to come nay when he does come and stand knocking at the door of their Heart they will not open to him nor entertain him but if any Man saith the Lord hear my voice and open the door I will come into him and Sup with him and he with me Rev. 3.20 and this is the effectual Supper of the Lord's Table which is the Flesh and Blood of Christ in the Mystery John 6.56 he that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood dwelleth in me and I in him and here the redeemed of the Lord have their Communion in the Body and Blood of Christ by his abideing in them and they as living Branches of the true Vine abiding in him and in this blessed Communion the Figure of the outward Supper is fulfiled according to Christ's own Words Luke 22.16 and 18. I will no more eat hereof nor drink of the Fruit of the Vine until the Kingdom of God shall come and it be fulfiled in the Kingdom of God so that they only who are partakers of the new Wine in Christ's Kingdom can take the Cap of Salvation and Praise his Name But notwithstanding all that can be said none are greater opposers of the Power of Godliness than they who have their life only in the outward profession thereof and are like those Soldiers very earnest in parting and casting Lots for Christ's Garments not at all regarding the crucified Jesus upon the Cross so near them So many Thousands Professors spend most of their precious time about Words Names Shadows vain Shows and beggarly Elements till they disputed and thrown away all inward sense of true Christianity What a noise they make about Water Bread and Wine and other bodily exercises acting in Religion as if making and blessing an Idol and employed in heartless overly and outside Performances but within full of Envy Pride and Covetousness as if they thought to clime into Heaven that way by which Lucifer was cast out Here 's enough said to satisfie the impartial and unprejudiced but to such as are wedded to the Forms Customs and Traditions of Men this Doctrine will seem New Strange and Dangerous nevertheless tho' many understand not these things at present yet I hope they may hereafter and to such as are otherwise minded God will reveal these and greater Mysteries in his due time
