The way of deliverance from Bondage He is in the way of life that receiveth and keepeth instruction but he that r●fuseth reproof is brutish ALl men by nature being obedient children unto the God of this world and subjects to the prince of the air Ephes 2.2.3 Ps 14. ● 3 Jer. 10.23 are disobedient unto the God of heaven the everlasting King of righteousness and have no power in them that is of them to turn from evil to good being they are under the rule and Authority of their Master the Devil Now if any have in them a desire to be delivered from the bondage and servitude of sin and death they must look unto that light which ●akes the condition manifest Eph. 5.13 and from whenc● the desire to be delivered arises for it is the light of Christ in man which wars against the King and kingdom of darkness striving to overturn his government and to deliver the captives from under his power which keeps them in bondage but the natural man when the light of the spirit makes manifest his sin and shews the danger of walking therein reproves him for it and exhorts him to follow the light and obey its counsel which would lead him out of sin then he cries out I want power Now to such I say that the power over sin is in the spitit wch reproves for sin and he that rejects this spirit which is light rejects the power and he that receives it receives the power yet it may be objected by some he has not a free-will nor power to receive that in wch the power is An. It s true man as he is in the power which captivates him in sin hath not a free-will for it s in bondage but there is a will in man which is not of man which doth strive to beget the will of man that is in bondage into freedom Ezek. 18. and this is that which willeth not the death of him that dieth but that all men should come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved And as for those who say they have not power to receive that in which the power over sin is I out of tender love to their precious souls have written a few words for their information The immortal wise God of love whose grace hath appeared unto all men desireth not that any man should perish Tit. 2.11 12. Mat. 1.21 but that all should come to know his power his light and grace which is his Son to be their Saviour Isai 59.2 who saves his people from their sins therefore doth he strive to draw all men unto the Son by the cords of his love Now he draweth that which hath been seperated for all men by reason of transgression hath been degenerated and separated from God and his work is to draw and separate the creature by the light from that which hath blinded the creature and hid the face of God Now all the strength which man has is to look unto the light which makes manifest his deeds of darkness and reproves him for them Isa 30.7 Mans strength is to sit still and so to sit still from his own willing and runing that the power of the light which wrestles bringeth judgement on the power of darkness may rend the cords of iniquity which ti● the creature to the devil this spiritual light of judgement doth draw strive to redeem the creature out of its bondage by bringing judgement and Ministring condemnation upon all his deeds and all that is required of the creature is to stand still and own the spirits Ministration of judgement on him and quietly to lie down under them and herein lieth his strength And as there is a patient waiting under the judgement of the power the strong man comes to be bound and the keepers of the house are made to tremble and in this manner is the creature brought forth into victory through judgement over his enemy the devil but where the drawings of the Lord are refused and judgement scorned the power over sin is not known and before any comes to feel power over sin they must fi●st know open the door at which the power enters to wit a standing still from self-willing and acting which darkens the heart and to look with care unto the light which shines in the midst of darkness that the blind eye may be opened and receive sight and this light is the free gift of the Father which plentifully springs from the fountain to refresh the dry thirsty Land but many there be who throw up mountains and heap up great hills out of their impenitent carnal hearts to stop the passage of the sweet streams of the waters of Shilo which run softly and there is none can truly taste the vertue and goodness of this water but those who come down from of the mountains of their imaginations for the mountains are high but rhe waters are below the hills and the way to receive it is to stand still in coolness and not to reach after it in a self-will for that cannot taste it nor imbrace it but as there is a sitting still in a sober frame of spirit it springs up freely of it self in the heart to beget a thirsting desire and also to satisfie it with that which is more precious then Rubies he that hath an ear let him hear So the chief thing which is first required of people by the light is to sit still that is when the light ministreth forth judgement and condemnation upon all their wicked words and actions that they do not fly back from the light which makes them manifest nor revolt from the judgements thereof but that they own the smiting of the Lord by the light for their manifold transgressions and condemnation to be due unto them and so to look unto the light which makes manifest sin in the first motion and submit to and lie down under the judgements of
