him that filleth all in all which is in God the Pillar and ground of Truth Christ Jesus the Power of God And the Wisdom of God The way of Life the Way the Truth and the Life The one Law-giver who is able to save and to destroy Th● man Christ Jesus the Son to whom the Father hath committed all Judgement the Judge of all the King Eternal Immortal Invisible the only wise God The blessed and only Potentate the King of kings and Lord of lords who only hath Immortality dwelling in the Light which no man can approach unto whom no man hath seen nor can see to whom be Honour and Power Everlasting Amen Who is able to save to the uttermost them that come to God by him For there is that in every one of you which never consents to sin nor was nor can be overcome by it which the gates of Hell can never prevail against else it should never speak it should never move against that which is evil which gives the Law the Rule to sin reproves checks Judges and condemns it be it never so high and flowing over and this is the Kingdom of God And this Kingdom of God is within you it comes not by observation said Christ even to the Pharisees whom he called Serpents there was that even in them which never was so overcome by sin as to consent to sin but reproved it and this was the Kingdom of God in them And this Nebuchadnezar came to acknowledge after that he was driven out from among men And had eaten grasse with the Oxen and his body had been wet with the dew of Heaven till his hair was grown like Eagles feathers and his nailes like Birds claws and seven times had passed over him Sc. That the most High ruleth in the Kingdoms of men And there is that in every one of you that limits that stops that sets the bounds to the rovings of your mindes and the out-goings of your thoughts to the ends of the Earth and to the wickednesse of man that it passe not all bounds and that brings to consideration to coolnesse to a consistencie of things in your selves and to minde God in whom ye live move and have your being and this is truth God that made the World and all things therein seeing that he is Lord of Heaven and Earth dwelleth not in Temples made with hands neither is worshipped with mens hands as though he needed any thing seeing that he giveth unto all Life and Breath and all things and hath made of one Blood all Nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the Earth and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation that they should seek the Lord if happilie they might feel after him though he be not far from any of us for in him we live move and have our being for we are his off-spring And there 's that in every 〈◊〉 one of you which seeks to gather you from your vaine and wilde immaginations of God Christ the Spirit the holy men of God The Scriptures The things of God to the beginning to the Light the beginning of the Creation of God which shewes darknesse and the state of man in the transgression wherein his foolish heart is darkened and his minde alienated from the Life of God through the ignorance that is in him because of the blindnesse of his heart in that State the same is it in which only ye can know God and Christ and the Spirit And the Holy men of God and the Scriptures and the things of God for the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishnesse unto him neither can he know them because they are Spiritually discerned And Where is the wise man Where is the Scribe Where is the disputer of this World Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this World For in the wisdom of God it is that the World by wisdom knows not God which he is come to confound even the wisdom of the wise and to bring to nought the understanding of the Prudent Whom none of the Princes of this World knew for if they knew it they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory And this is the principle of God in you all the measure of him which every one of you have received wherein to know God and wherewithal to profit Of which he will require an account which is as a grain of mustard seed unto which ye all must come and be guided by and grow up into it if ever ye know the Lord or the things of his Kingdom which consists in Righteousnesse and Peace and joy in the Holy Ghost or see his face or be made partaker of the Inheritance of the Saints in Light And this unto you all is is the word of the Lord for he that came to give the knowledge of Salvation unto his people by the Remission of their sins through the tender mercies of God whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us Came to give light to them that sit in darknesse and in the shaddow of Death and to guide our feet in the way of peace Unto this therefore the measure of God in you all the Principle of God the Light which comes from Christ the Saviour of the Soul which witnesses for God and against all evil which it shews yea the very appearance of it and reproves judges and condemns it the same is it which shews you what ye should do which is in you and ye know that it is so which leads out of transgression to that which was before transgression the Ordinance of God to Salvation Apply your mindes whilst ye have time a little time heed it believe in it and obey it whilst the door is yet open whilst the Lord calls on you And his Spirit strives with you Whose Spirit will not alwayes strive with man whilst his Armes are stretched out to gather you That so ye may come to know the things that do belong to your Eternal Peace and that it may be well with you as to that in every one of you which must abide for ever For verily Friends the time is short yea very short and the Lord is at hand and he is drawing near to judgment he hath long waited to be Gracious he hath born long and suffered His Soul hath long been pressed under you as a cart is pressed with sheaves he is even weary with forbearing Yet loath he is that any of you should dy but rather that you should return and live And for this purpose hath he now visited you with his tender compassion Therefore hear that your Souls may live For this I testifie to you in the name of the Lord and as being moved of him whose word it is that to those of you unto whom his tender visitations have come and are still rejected after this your hour there is no more but ye will Eternally be concluded with
