transgression but he shews mercy unto his own seed in man which never consented to sin or evil and he that repents and forsakes his sins and turns unto the Lord with a purpose of heart then will the Lord God shew mercy unto his soul And this is the counsel of the Lord God unto you in dear and in tender love unto your souls turn in turn in your minds into the light of the Son of God in your own particulars with which you are enlightned which is the true Light that enlightneth every man that cometh into the world Therefore I say unto the Light of Christ take heed and wait ye in patience in the Crosse in that which is a Crosse unto your carnal minds and wills which are running abroad into the Earth and Earthly things for in the Crosse and through the Crosse is the power of the Lord God felt and witnessed although the preaching of the Crosse was unto the Greeks foolishnesse and unto the Jews a stumbling block yet this I can give in my Testimony for the Lord God that unto us which are saved it is the power of God unto Salvation unto ever one that believeth Therefore I say turn in your minds into the Light of Christ in your own particulars which is made manifest in you and wait ye in patience in the Crosse that you feel and see the power of the Lord to slay the enmity and to take away the cause and to break down the partition-wall and to rent the vail Now I say who am a lover of all souls wait in patience in the Crosse that you may feel and see the power of the Lord God to take away and to remove the cause to take away that and to remove that and to work out and to expell out all that in you which hath caused a separation betwixt God and you that is to feel and to see the power of the Lord God to work out and to expell sin and iniquity for saith the Lord your sins have separated you from me and your iniquities hath with-held good things from you so wait ye in the Crosse that you may all seek and see the power of the Lord God to break down the partition-wall to break down that in you which is yet standing as a wall in you which is the man of sin which separates you from the Lord God who created you And so all wait in patience in the Light and keep in your minds staid in it I say wait in patience in the Light that you may feel and see the power of the Lord God to rent the vail and to take it off the heart for through mans disobedience unto the Lord God who created him there came a vail over the heart by reason of sin and transgression which vailed the Creature from the Lord So now I say in love unto all your souls wait ye in patience in the Crosse that you may feel and see the pure power of the Lord God to take away and to remove and to expell and to work out all that which is yet remaining alive in you which entered into man through disobedience and transgression by the reason of which man lost the image in which he was created and lost also his Union and Communion and Fellowship which he had with the Lord God before he disobeyed so through disobedience man was driven into the Earth from the presence of the Lord. So all people who are yet in the fall in the transgression and without God in the world this is the counsel of the Lord God unto you all turn in turn in your minds into the light of the Son of God which is made manifest in you and receive it in the love of it for the light is in all and the light is one in all but all have not received it in the love of it and so by the light they are condemned Therefore I say as you tender the good of your own souls receive the light in the love of it and prize it above all things and yield obedience to be led and guided by it For this I testifie unto you from the Lord God that as you receive the light in the love of it and give up to be led and guided by it it will lead you out of sin and out of evil unto the Father from whence it came who is light and in him is no darknesse at all for every good and perfect gift comes from above from God the Father of lights in whom is no variablenesse nor shaddow of turning and it will lead you as you yield obedience to be led and guided by it out of all false wayes worships customs and traditions that are in the world and out of the Church that is in the world into the true Church which is in God which is built up of living pure precious and elect stones of which Christ is the Head and there to worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for such the Father seeks to worship him and the time is already come that the true worshippers do worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth And this I testifie unto you from the Lord and I know what I say having experienced the thing in my own particular that as you give up freely to be led and guided by the light of the Son of God with which he hath enlightned you withall that in it you will feel and see the power of the Lord God to save you out of sin and out of evil and in it is power strength and sufficiency to destroy sin which is the Devils work in you and death and he that hath the power of death that is the Devil for for this end and purpose was the Son of God manifested for to destroy the works of the Devil Mark that all ye unbelievers who will not believe in Christ Jesus the light nor to have him to rule over you who live in sin and in wickednesse and pleading for it term of life and saying you cannot be free from sin on this side the grave here you do make your selves manifest to be of that number in whom Antichrist that is the man of sin hath his seat in you there he sits as if he were God and he rules and reigns in you as King and his Servants you are and his works you do and his Kingdom you strive to uphold and plead for it term of life that is sin and wickednesse for so long as sin and wickednesse rules and reigns in you so long is Antichrists Kingdom standing in you and so you crying up and pleading for sin term of life and saying that the Creature cannot be free from sin while he is here on this side the grave here you make void and of none effect the coming of Christ Jesus the Son of God for as it is recorded in the Scriptures of Truth and also seen in the record of eternal life that for this purpose the Son of God was manifested
for to destroy the works of the Devil Now if the Creature must live in sin and wickednesse all the dayes of his life as you conclude and say he must then is the Devils work not destroyed in him which is sin and evil and so as I said before you make void and of none effect the coming of Christ which was to destroy the works of the Devil No place for Repentance after Death Here is a Querie unto all the hireling Priests of the Nation who preach up this doctrine that people must live in sin all the dayes of their life and cannot be cleansed while they are on this side the grave and yet when they die they shall be saved and enter into Gods Kingdom WHere or when or which is the place that men and women must be cleansed from sin if not in this life of this side the grave seeing that no unclean thing shall enter into the Kingdom of God and as the Tree falls so it lies and as Death leaves Judgement finds and said Christ Jesus the Light except you believe that I am he ye shall die in your sins and said he I go my way ye shall seek me and shall not find me and whether I go there ye cannot come Now I do believe that most people will confesse that Christ ascended up into Heaven and he saith as it is recorded in the Scriptures except ye believe that I am he ye shall die in your sins and whether I go there you cannot come This is one of the damnable Doctrines that the hireling Priests of this Nation teacheth and it is no lesse then the Doctrine of Devils for they conclude that the Devil is of more power and strength to keep men and women in sin then the Lord God is to redeem them out of sin But this I testifie from the Lord God against the hireling Priests of the Nation and against all opposers and gain sayers whatsoever that Christ Jesus the light of the World who is the true light that enlightneth every man that cometh into the World who is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God whose Name is called the Word of God I say and testifie from the Lord that he is of more power strength and sufficiency to redeem fallen man and woman out of sin and out of evil if they yield obedience to be led and guided by him then the Devil who is the prince of the power of the Aire who rules in the hearts of the Children of disobedience hath to keep them in sin and evil Therefore I say turn in your mindes into the light of the Son of God with which you are inlightned which light is perfect and as you receive the light in the love of it which is perfect and become one with it you will come to feel the Power of the Lord God to work out imperfection which is of the Devil So now I say when the Creature comes to witnesse the Devils work destroyed in him which is sin and evil which caused a separation betwixt God and the Creature I say when he comes to witnesse that destroyed in him which must he destroyed by the Power of the Lord God Christ Jesus the light who is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God then he will come to have accesse unto God again for it is the light which reconciles and unites unto God and so by the light the Creature comes to have accesse unto God again and as he keeps in the light continually having his mind staid therein he will come to have union and communion and fellowship with the Lord as Adam had before he disobeyed and he will come to feel the living presence of the Lord God to nourish his soul and to refresh his soul and to strengthen his soul which hath been Lean Dry and Barren and Weak and Feeble for want of Bread and so as he hath through disobedience unto the Lord born the image of the Earthly I say by yeilding obedience unto the light of Christ made manifest in him waiting there to feel the power of the Lord God to put off the old man with his deeds that is the old degenerated Nature he will come to bear the image of the Heavenly and as he gives up freely unto the Lord to be led and guided by him he will come to have power and dominion over the Creatures which God created for the use and service of man as man had the power over them at the beginning for as by the disobedience of one many were made sinners so by the obedience of one many shall be made righteous and as in Adam all die so in Christ all are made alive So all people who are yet in the Fall in the Transgression without God in the World and are yet dead in sins and trespasses this is the Counsel of the Lord God unto you Turn in turn in your minds which are yet abroad in the Earth into the light of the Son of God as you prize the good of your own souls and wait ye in patience in it that you may feel the power of the Lord God to raise you up from Death to Life and to quicken you and ●o make you alive that so you may live for evermore unto the Praise and Glory of his most Holy Name And this is the desire of my soul that you may all come to have Union and Fellowship with the Lord God as man had before he disobeyed And that you may enjoy his pure living refreshing presence to nourish your souls and to refresh your souls and may come to eat of the food Immortal of the bread Immortal to nourish your souls and to refresh your souls and to strengthen your souls which are Immortal For there is nothing that can satisfie the soul which is immortal but the bread immortal For saith Christ Jesus the righteous who is the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the World your Fathers eat Manna in the Wilderness and they are dead but I will give you to eat of the hidden Manna of the heart and he that eateth thereof shall never die for saith he He that eateth of the Bread that I shall give him he shall never hunger and he that drinketh of the Water that I shall give him he shall never thirst for it shall be in him a Well of living Water springng up unto everlasting life And saith Christ Jesus the Light I am the living Bread which cometh down form above and I tell ye from the Lord except ye eat the Flesh and drink the Blood of the Son of Man ye have no life in you for his body is Meat indeed and his blood is Drink indeed so he that can receive it let him receive it for they are the words of Truth unto you and shall stand for ever So all people this is my counsel and advice unto you once more in the dread and fear of the Lord God and it is in dear and
