A57526	A true believer's testimony of the work of true faith; who hath believed in Christ Jesus the true light, who enlighteneth every one that cometh into the world, that all men through him might believe. Wherein are many excellent things held forth, which through faith in the light are seen, learned, and certainly believed, &c. and are profitable for all to reade. With a visitation to the called of God every-where. By a servant of the Lord, Geo. Rofe	Rofe, George, d. 1664.	1661 (1661)	Wing R1790; ESTC R222733	39,311	98

after Knowledge and to grow high in Wisdom and in Profession of words when as they should seek after the Life and wait for the Power of God which should lead them in pure Obedience to the Lord and to his Truth which Life and Power if they miss on they will be but as if they had precious Ointment of the Apothecary but alas Flies have corrupted it that it cannot cure Even so if all the knowledge of the World whilst mixt with earthliness and enmity neither doth it stand in the Power of the Lord which redeemeth out of the World and giveth to seek after God and feel after Him in his Life to walk in his pure living way which who come into shall not want Wisdom nor Knowledge but shall have it in the gift of God By Faith it 's given me to see that the same Life which God hath in these last dayes made manifest and declared to be the Light of the World and doth enlighten every one that cometh into the VVorld was in the dayes of Old which is the Heart of God by which he purposeth and upholdeth all things which Life in due time was declared to be his Son and made known in the Church while in the Wilderness and was the Rock which followed Israel of which they drank when they were joyned unto the Law and baptized into Moses in the Cloud and in the Sea by which Moses He was seen that God would raise Him up in the midst of the People for all the People to hear that he that would not hear Him might be cut off So that certain it is the Law did prophesie that the Son of God should come and not only so for he was manifest in the dayes of Noah preaching to the Spirits in Prison whose day Abraham saw and was glad by which Life the Prophets wrote of his Sufferings which they saw and witnessed should certainly be fulfilled before the Seed was raised up through the Virgin which Seed is Christ who is come and hath taken the Seed of Abraham and David and suffered in the body which Sufferings by Faith in the Light which He hath enlightened every one withal are clearly seen and believed to be done and fulfilled according to the Scriptures So that by Faith in the Light it 's seen and certainly believed that the Lord 's Christ is come in the flesh hath suffered and is arisen in Glory in the Kingdom of his Father having suffered and fulfilled all things that was written of Him being declared by signs and wonders and mighty deeds to be the only begotten Son of the Father the Prince of all his Saints the Kings of the Earth and Priests unto God and all these things hath he done and suffered as it was written of Him in the Prophets That He being the first-born among many Brethren and the first begotten from the dead might have the preheminence being in all things a Captain and Example in all Godliness and Humility humbling Himself unto death even the death of His Cross that in all things He being our Example we may follow Him in His Sufferings and Death who in that He dyed once dyed unto Sin in that He liveth He liveth unto God Death hath no more dominion over Him So likewise is every one dying unto Sin to live unto God that the residue of the dayes may be spent in the Service of God and the death which hath reigned in the mortal body and subjected the Creature unto Vanity may have no more dominion but may be swallowed up and consumed unto the end in the Victory of the Judgments of the Life And by Faith it is seen that it is a greater Mystery to know Christ to be the first-born who must be witnessed born first in Man before Man can be born again and be begotten from the dead before Man can be begotten from the dead He that reads let him understand he that reads must read by Faith in the Light and blessed is he that readeth and heareth and seeth and hath part in these things he shall give Glory to the Lord and to his Christ who is translating many Sons and Daughters out of the Kingdoms of this VVorld into Himself and into His Kingdom to praise and glorifie and magnifie Him for ever By Faith it is seen that Christ is certainly manifested to be that which was written of Him namely to be a Covenant of the People and Light of the Gentiles and Salvation of the Ends of the Earth who is able to save to the utmost all that come unto God by Him who hath freely offered up himself once for all and by the one offering hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified and not only so but being an Atonement for Sin hath appeased the Wrath of God towards all so that He is become a Propitiation for the Sins of the whole World having obtained Favour with God so that time and space is given and a day of Visitation unto all that the Long-sufferings of God waiteth towards all And this is the Liberty and Advantage which Christ through his Death and Sufferings hath purchased for All that all Men having a Visitation and time they might Repent and turn to the Lord by doing Righteousness which if they neglect their time and through impudence and impenitence and hardness of heart continue in their sins and unbelief and so treasures up Wrath against the day of Wrath and the revelation of the Righteous Judgments of God such shall certainly perish and receive the greater Condemnation when the measure of their Iniquities are full and all the Sufferings of Christ will be laid to their charge who have pierced the Just by resisting the Grace and the Light which from the Just is come to witness against all Transgression and doth testifie against it in every ones Conscience and this all shall see to be true that the Sufferings of Christ will be but to the greater Condemnation of them that continue in Wickedness though by His stripes are they made whole who turn unto Him but the Just when He appears the Families and Kindreds of the Earth shall weep and waile over Him when every Eye shall see Him and them that pierced Him shall behold him for He shall come in the Glory of his Kingdom and in the Power of his Father to sit as Judge upon all the Families and Kindreds of the Earth pleading with them by Sword and Fire and righteous Judgements taking Vengeance on all who have not wrought Righteousness on the Earth nor walked prudently amongst Men to shew forth his Praise and the glory of his Grace in obeying unto an Holy Life and Pure Conversation and as he comes rises and appears He destroyes the spirits of Belial and consumes the Transgressor that His Covenant of Peace and Life for evermore may be established with and in His Seed in which He comes and in which he reveals himself in the Children of the Covenant in Mighty Power that his

Jews though he condemned the Priests and Pharisees and Jews for omitting the weighty matters of the Law Faith Mercy and Justice for that was in the time also of the Law and of the first Priesthood and before the everlasting Offering was offered up which is the end of the Law the sum of all Offerings who blotted out the hand writing of Ordinances and nailed them to his Cross which were against us and raised up another Priesthood which was free and sent forth Ministers to turn People to it who had freely received and were freely to give and the Apostles never spake of Tythes to Gentiles nor Christ neither but witnessed the contrary and that the first Priesthood which consisted in divers Washings and Meats and Drinks under which the Tythes were payed was changed and the Law also by which it was made and by which the Tythes were payed under it Hebr. 7. for the Law and the first Priesthood made nothing perfect as appertaining to the Conscience but the bringing in of a better Hope did by the which we draw nigh unto God which is Christ who is revealed in his People an Anchor to their Souls to keep them sure and steadfast and he is in us the Hope of Glory and he that hath this Hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure So that it 's clearly seen they that take Tythes now are Antichristian and they which pay them deny the Everlasting Offering by which them that are sanctified are perfected for ever who is the End of the Law and the changeable Priesthood who hath blotted out the hand writing of Ordinances nailing them to his Cross and brought in the everlasting Righteousness and the Spiritual Priesthood and the Hope which makes perfect pertaining to the Conscience By Faith it is clearly seen that God in his faithfulness hath revealed his Son to finish Sin and make an end of Transgression and to cause the daily Offerings to cease for which sake the Tythes were payed to the Priests and Levites of the first Priesthood and offered up himself upon the Cross to make peace between man and God that all strife might be ended so he blotting out the Ordinances of the first Covenant which were in old time and ordains obedience for all His that so as he makes peace with God they may have peace with all men and exercise a Conscience void of offence towards all and love their enemies and resist not evil do good against evil bless them that curse pray for them that dispitefully use them love their enemies feed them when they are hungry cloath them when they are naked if any one compels to go a mile go with him twain and if they smite thee on the right cheek turn the other and if they sue thee at the Law and take away thy coat let them have thy cloak also and do unto every one as thou wouldst be done unto love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and thy Neighbour as thy self this is the Royal Law and the Prophets which the Gospel which is the Power of God to Salvation gives every one to fulfil who doth believe in it and obey it Now he that comes to this needs not swear at all but in all his Communication let his yea be yea his nay nay Here 's the end of Strife the end of Sinning the end of Fighting the end of Wrangling and Suing at Law and Swearing and false Witness-bearing the obedience to the Gospel which is received by Faith in the Light which gives to suffer all things bear all things forgive all things committing every thing unto God that judges righteously and he that comes to this will not stumble at Christ's Doctrine which saith Swear not at all nor at the Apostles Doctrine who saith My Brethren above all things swear not by any Oath lest ye fall into Condemnation but let your yea be yea and your nay nay in all your Communications and then it will be seen that there is not a wise man amongst them that goes to Law with his Brother and doth not chuse rather to suffer wrong and that such have not the mind of Christ who cannot suffer though he suffered for all By Faith it 's seen that Christ made it one of his greatest Businesses and one of his chiefest Works to witness against the Priests Scribes and Pharisees and witnessed the most Woes against them than against any for they laid heavy burdens upon the People and devoured Widows Houses and under a pretence made long Prayers these should receive the greater damnation and he cryed Wo against them often and called them Fools and Blind and Serpents and Vipers and asked them how they could escape the Damnation of Hell who were blind leaders of the blind these were witnessed against for their standing praying in the Synagogues and being called of men Masters and having the chiefest places in the Assemblies and the greetings in the Markets and walking in long Robes and Christ commanded his Disciples not to be called of men Master for one was their Master ev●n Christ and they were all Brethren and he bid them beware of the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisees to wit their Doctrine for it was Hypocrisie they say and do not here he brought them out from them and did not bid them hear them any more to do as they said for the Law was fulfilled which Christ is the End of and they were to Preach the Gospel and bring People off from the Temple Synagogues and Assemblies of the Priests and Pharisees to the Light and Power of God to worship God in the Spirit and in the Truth and for Christ's witnessing the Truth against these Priests Pharisees Scribes and Rulers and Jews they accused him to be mad and to have a Devil and to be a Blasphemer and so the Priests Pharisees and Scribes stirred up the Powers of the Earth against him to put him to death and to render him odious to the Rulers and said he was not Cesars friend and that he denyed to pay Tribute to Cesar and so through lyes and dissimulation stirred up both Rulers and People against the Lord of Life the Lord of Glory whom they took with wicked hands and slew and hanged on a Tree whom God raised up from the Dead against whom the Envy of the Priests was not satisfied but gave large moneys to raise lyes of him after his Resurrection which were believed among the Jews unto this day By Faith it 's seen how just and righteous the Judgement of Christ was against them who were once bidden to the Marriage Supper of the Kingdom who when all things on the Kings part were provided for them began to make excuses one by one the one hanging in the Farm the other in the Yoak of Oxen and the other taking a Wife and could not come to reject them all if the Jews who were first bidden could not taste of his Supper because of these things wherewith
