THE DAY-SPRING from on high visiting the WORLD OR Gods Salvation revealed and the work of Redemption declared and the way opened into the Everlasting Rest. ALSO The two births discovered and their several Image and the enmity that is betwixt them WITH The Lambs appearance in Glory and his Power and Government Exalted By WILLIAM SMITH LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1659. THere is a dark night of Apostasie over the Earth in wch the world are asleep upon there beds of ease and their eyes are not opened to behold the wondrous works of God neither can they believe it though it be declared for they will neither see with their eyes nor hear with their ears nor understand with their hearts but stands despising the work of the Lord and the appearance of his righteousness Therefore doth the Lord God utter his voice from his holy hill and the sound thereof goeth forth into the world and the words reacheth unto the ends of the Earth that all may awake and behold the salvation which now is revealed in the springing of the day for the acceptable time is come the morning Star is risen the day is dawned the Son of righteousness shineth and it is from on high revealed that the eyes of all might be opened who have so long slept the sleep of death that they might see their Saviour whose Name is Jesus the begotten of God the brightness of his glory and expresse Image of his person in whom is the fulness and unto whom all power is given the Father is well pleased in him and none comes to the Father but by him there is none besides him nor any like unto him who is full of grace and truth look unto him all ye ends of the Earth for the day of your visitation is come in which the grace of God appeareth be ye all turned unto it that your eyes may be opened to see the love that God hath unto you for God so loved the world that he gave his onely begotten Son who is the light of the world in whom the promise of grace is fulfilled in breaking the Serpents head and recovering out of his snare he it is that doth redeem who is not of the world but Redeemes out of the World all that believe in him for he worketh the work of God and destroyes the work of the Devil and casts out the man of sin he fans the Nations with his hand and purgeth the floor by his mighty power Kings shall bow before him Nations shall tremble the mighty men shall fall and Princes shall be broken by his might who is now appearing in power and great glory to Judge the world in righteousness unto him doth the Law and Prophets witness unto whom he was revealed and in his life they prophesied and spake of the glory that was in him which was to be revealed unto ages to come and is now broken forth in these last dayes and is beheld as the glory of the onely begotten of the Father and the Law and Prophets have their end in him and are all fulfilled by him who is come to perfect the work of God and he hath the witness both of the Law and Prophets therefore unto him look who is salvation to the ends of the Earth who visits you in this his day and reacheth unto you with a manifestation of light that you may therein see the evil of your doings and come to repentance that the true light may lead you which is manifest from God unto you that thereby you may come out of darkness death and bondage to know the Redemption which by the Lord is wrought and plentifully revealed in this his day and put not this from you to ages past for therein you deceive your selves but all look near and see what you can witness of Redemption from your vain conversation and salvation from your sin for it is not you● talk of what God hath done in times past for others and what great salvation unto them appeared and how they were saved that will save you or Redeem you but to have your minds turned unto that which they was Redeemed by and saved in and to feel the the power of it to work effectually in you as it did in them who were true witnesses of it for what will it profit you to read of the great deliverance wrought by the out-stretched arm of God for Jacobs seed out of Egypts bondage if you find not the same work wrought in you by the same power you are not in their deliverance but are still in bondage and are kept in that which they was delivered from and so his work was wrought upon the blind the Lepers and the lame and the blind received sight the Lepers was cleansed and the lame walked and this you may read as it is declared and yet may your eyes be blinded and your leprosie not cleansed nor your ancle bones strengthened you may read of the promises and the consolation which they had who did believe in them and yet may you be out of them and miss the consolation that they found in them who believed in that unto which all the promises was made for all the promises of God are yea and Amen in Christ Jesus mark yea and ●men are all the promises in Christ Jesus in whom they stand sure and all your reading and talking of these things declared and saying these promises you believe in and you apply them by faith and so receives the comfort it will not stand you in stead in the needful time for whilst you talk of faith and applying the promises by faith you deceive your selves in your imaginations being yet in your sins and out of the faith of the Son of God which purifieth the heart and so you are out of the condition of those who lived in the promises and knew them to stand sure in the seed Therefore all unto the light come and in it wait that you may feel the same power to work in you and bring the same thing to passe in you as it hath done in ages before you that whilst you talk of liberty by Christ Jesus your selves may not be found servants unto sin and in bondage to corruption for of whatsoever a man is overcome unto the same is he in bondage if you be found servants unto sin you are in bondage to it not in the freedom of the Son so all having sinned all must unto the light be turned and by it be Redeemed and know the power of it to work true freedom into the glorious liberty before any can truly say that they are set free for all must stand as they are before the Lord therefore think not your selves to be above what you are least whilst you think that you are something you prove nothing and so deceive your selves fore there is a groaning felt in you under the bondage of corruption and unto that doth
