who hath been the Oppressor both of Man and Beast and so in Christ all have Rest and Peace and Love that doth not kill nor commit Adultery nor steal nor covet any thing that another man hath nor bear false Witness nor make Images of any thing in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath and so Love fulfils the Law And therefore see that this Law of Love be set up in all your Families by which they may be ordered and ruled Here you may see how Moses Deut. 9.29.9 to 11. a faithful Servant of the Lord as the Lord had commanded him puts the Jews in mind of their Duty required of them by the Lord Keep saith he therefore the Words of this Covenant and do them that you may prosper in all that ye do ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God your Captains of your Tribes your Elders and your Officers with all the Men of Israel your little Ones your Wives and thy Strangers that are within thy Camp from the Hewer of Wood unto the Drawer of thy Water that thou shouldest enter into Covenant with the Lord thy God c. Now consider this hear how that all these were to stand before the Lord to enter into Covenant with the Lord even the Elders the Officers with the men of Israel their Wives and little Children the Strangers with the Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water now Christ's is the new Covenant and therefore all you called Christians that profess him who are Elders and Masters of Families are you not to see that your Wives your Children and Strangers that are within your Camps yea to the Hewers of your Wood and Drawers of your Water that they come all into the new Covenant Christ Jesus which in God is established forever an everlasting Covenant who ends the first Covenant among the Jews and therefore shall not you outstrip the Jews in their Families in bringing all your Families and Strangers and Sojourners Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water into the New Covenant of Life Christ Jesus through whom they may stand before God and have Peace with him mark this ye Elders and Rulers and Fathers of Families who have Strangers and Sojourners in your Families so as to see that you do perform your Duty and bring them to do their Duty in the Covenant of Life Christ Jesus And now again in Deut. 31. When all Israel shall atpear before the Lord thy God in the Place which he shall choose Deut. 31. thoushalt read the Law saith he before all Israel in their hearing and shall gather the People together Men Women and Children and thy Strangers that are within thy Gates that they may hear and that they may learn and fear the Lord thy God and observe to do all the Words of the Law Now mark and consider this all you Christians that profess the New Covenant Christ Jesus and the Law of Love and the Law of Life and the Law of Faith and the Law of the Spirit must you not gather all your Families together Men Women Children and Strangers within your Gates and such as you bought with Money and such as are born of them in your Families that they may all hear the new-New-covenant and the Law of Life and the Law of Love and the Law of Faith and the Law of the Spirit of Life that makes free from the Law of Sin and Death that they may all hear that they may all learn this and that they may all fear God and observe and do the Law and the New-Covenant as the Jews were to do the old which is a Figure of the new And therefore be not you negligent no● sloathful nor careless in this but do your Duty and see that all your Families may do their Duties and so as it was among the Jews the Children that had not known me hear and learn and the Strangers for if you should be negligent in this then look what came upon the Jews and how rude their Families grew and how God's Judgments came upon them and it came partly by the Heads of the Families and Elders and Overseers And therefore be diligent and bring all your Families to serve God in the first Place and be faithful to him through Jesus Christ the New-covenant then they will not be negligent in outward Things if they be faithful to God and then God's Blessing will be in your Families and so therein men serve the Lord in bringing their Families to serve the Lord in that they do God's Will and please him in the New-covenant bringing them out of that which displeaseth God and so rule in Power and in Love And in Jeremiah 10.25 there you may see what the Lord saith by the Prophets Jer. 10.25 Pour out thy Fury upon the Heathen that know thee not and upon all the Families that call not upon thy Name So now consider this seriously how God would have all Families to call upon his Name and especially you that call your selves Christians and profess the New-covenant of God to wit Christ Jesus and therefore see that all your Families do call upon the Name of the Lord it concerns you very much if you do not ye may expect the Lord's Fury will be poured out upon you and yours There you may see the Lord speaking how he will pour out his Spirit of Grace and Supplication and they shall look upon him whom they have pierced meaning Christ and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only Son as one that is in Bitterness for his first born the Land shall mourn every Family apart shall mourn and their Wives apart And so consider this all you that profess Christ who have seen him whom you have pierced if the Spirit of Grace and Supplication be poured out upon you why then you see him Christ Jesus whom you have pierced and then you will mourn bitterly as you should mourn for your first born So all Friends they that witness the Spirit of Grace poured out upon them they know the Mourning for him whom they have pierced and then there is a Fountain opened by Christ Jesus for their Sins and for their Uncleanness to wash away the Filth And you may see in Zachariah 14.17 Whosoever will not come up of all the Families of the Earth to Jerusalem Zach. 14.17 to worship the King the Lord of Hosts even upon them there shall be no Rain yea if the Family of Egypt go not up he shall have no Rain and they shall be plagued c. And now consider this how all the Families of the Earth that come to worship the Lord of Hosts in Spirit and in Truth in this Heavenly Jerusalem and keep the Feast of Tabernacles and eat of Christ the Sacrifice who is the Bread of Life that came down from above such must be punished such have no Rain indeed but are like to the parched Ground and so mind every Family apart this for
