A sound out of Sion from the holy Mountain which the Lord is establishing above all the Mountains c. ALL you that make a profession of God and of Christ try your selves with the Light that sheweth you sin in your Consciences and see whether you have fellowship with the Father and the Son 1 Iohn 1. 3. for all they who have not felship with the Father and the Son are not of the Church of Christ for his Church is his body Col. 1. 18. and he is the Head and the body hath fellowship with the Head and he that hath fellowship with the Son hath fellowship with the Father also for the Father and the Son is one eternal Power by whom all things were made Iohn 1. 1 2 3. and he is pure and holy and they that have unity with him must be holy as he is holy 1 Pet. 1. 15. else there is no unity 2 Cor. 6. 14. nor fellowship for this holy God Mal. 3. 6. is an unchangeable being who cannot be reconciled to any thing which is not of himself because he is holy pure and immortal and all other beings that are not one with this pure being hath an end 1 Cor. 15. 28. Now by the Power of this pure God was all things made that is made and he made man according to his own Image Gen. 1. 7. and 2. 7 and breathed into him the breath of Life and he became a living soul but man went out from that Life in which he was created and so dyed to that holy Life in him and so death came to have dominion and man became alive in sin and unrighteousness and the Life that God had placed in man became vailed and so man came tobe estranged from the Life of God Eph. 4. 18. And thus being estranged from the Life of Righteousnesse Gen. 6. 5. was filled with unrighteousness and the Life and Power in which he was created became his Adversary and man became an Enemy to God and a habitation of uncleannesse And from the pure and holy God went forth a Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the World Iohn 1. 9. and this Light beareth witness in the Consciences of all mankind against unrighteousness by which every man knoweth sin and this Light is set against man to keep him out from the Tree of Life so long as he is in the enmity left he should eat and live Gen. 3. 24. And this Light is one with God for it is the true Light of the Son of God that lighteth every man that cometh into the World which is the condemnation of the World and proceedeth from the same power by which all things were created and this is manifested in the Conscience of every man to lead him out of unrighteousness which by it is condemned and to lead into peace with God all those who follow it Iohn 1. 12. And so all they who follow this Light they follow the Son of God who is made a quickening Spirit 1 Cor. 15. 45. and by him comes the Life of Righteousness to be quickened in them and the unrighteous being to be destroyed and cast out For this Light condemns all unrighteousness and they who follow it vvalk in the cross to the unrighteous lusts and desires vvhi●h moveth in the flesh and is obedient to the Light by vvhich they are condemned and so the unrighteous Povver comes to be crucified and the povver in vvhich man vvas created comes to be quickned and so the second Adam comes to be knovvn vvho is made a quickening spirit and doth reconcile to God through the death of the cross Col. 1. 21. every one that believeth in him keepeth his commandments and in them cometh the pure life of God to be raised by vvhich Life purification is vvrought and man is brought into unity vvith God the enmity being slain in man through the obedience of the Cross Eph. 2. 16. Here comes the pure Life to have dominion in man and man becomes the Temple of the Holy God Eph. 2. 21. and this is redemption For man being obedient to the lusts and motions of the flesh he became the servant of sin and so vvas free from righteousness Rom. 6. 20. for righteousness is in bondage in him and unrighteousness bears rule and this is the captivity of Iacob for the life of righteousnesse being lost there is nothing brought forth but unrighteousness and the pure Seed of God that beareth witness in the Conscience against unrighteousness is kept in prison and although it cryes there is none that answers nor obeyeth it but the lusts and desires which lead to lying swearing drunkenness covetousness idolatry and all wickedness hate malice envy murder witchcraft and such like is obeyed and followed and here are all men in the enmity which is against God Eph. 2. 3. and are the heirs of wrath and condemnation And this is the unhappy state for there is no other unhappiness then to have the pure God to an Enemy and so to be an heir of his wrath and he is an Enemy to all impurity and they that act impurity are in the enmity against him Col. 1. 21. Therefore hath he given his Son a Light in the World and hath lighted every man that cometh into the World to seek and to save that which was lost Luke 19. 10. Purity is lost Holiness is lost Righteousness is lost the knowledge of God is lost peace with God is lost Now they that turn to the Light they turn to the Son in whom the Father is well-pleased Matt. 3. 17. who hath long sought man who is lost from it and hath convinced of sin in the Conscience and hath sought to lead out of sin into righteousness that it which was lost might be found and saved Now every one that turneth to the Son the Light which seeketh in the Conscience they come to find that which was lost and to be found of it who have been lost from it and come to know hol●nesse and righteousnesse and peace and knowledge
