avoid the contrary in such a difficult case as this c. Answ 'T is true that both these are within The heart of Man is deceitful and desperately wicked c. as the Scriptures testifies But the Lord by his Light in the heart discovers this to his Creature which he hath made and is the Work of his Hands and by it he being therein hearkened unto and obeyed helps the Creature from running into the Snare which the Enemy of the Soul would by inticing draw him into and so though there is that within People that would Intice and lead them into Sin yet is there also that within which shews the Creature the Evil thereof and doth discover from whence it doth proceed and being harkened unto as it ought and obeyed doth preserve the Creature thereby out of Temptations and so hereby God doth deliver his Creature Man whom he hath formed out of the snares of the Devil who goeth about like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour And though he doth appear like an Angel of Light as he is mentioned in 2 Cor. 11.14 yet by the True Light he is discovered which Light leadeth to fear the Lord and do his will and his snares are avoided that Light and Truth being followed and obeyed which makes a discovery of him and so hereby the Lord preserves his Creature which he hath made by his own mighty Power to his own Praise and the Creatures joy and Comfort Glory be given to God on high forever And so it is by a dilligent taking heed to that which is pure of God within that this comes to be known and witnessed and t is by this the Soul comes to live which was dead hereby the quickening Power of God is known which quickens and makes alive to him they who are dead to him by reason of their Trespasses and Sins by inclining their Ears and hearkening dilligently to that which is pure of God in themselves that they may be guided thereby only and so hereby such are led to repent and Sin no more and so becomes Followers of Christ who said to the Woman taken in Adultery Sin no more c. And so that blessed state comes to be known which is without Sin c. Object But some may say this is strange Doctrine if we mean a state without Sin in this World what can People be freed from their Sins while they be on this side the Grave do not tell us so our Teachers have told us that such a state is not to be expected while we are in this World 'T is true we ought not to Sin but to strive against it but we shall never be delivered from it while we are here it is Erronious thus to hold c. Answ If People do not know a freedom from Sin here in this World Where then What ground is there for them to believe That they shall attain to such a state hereafter Seeing it is said there is no Repentance in the Grave and as Death leaves Judgment finds and no unclean thing can enter the Kingdom of God If People must not be cleansed here I would know where they shall 'T is gross to hold that there is a Purgatory after Death for Peoples Soules to depart into when they shall leave this World where their Sins shall be purged away and if there be no such Place as I suppose you will not grant there is except you are Popishly affected then let not such plead for a never being made free from Sin while they are here if ye do well consider it will it not be best for you to grant that there is a Purgatory where sin is to be purged away afterwards if you would live in Sin Term of Life But Sin is to be Purged away here you must know Christ to free you from your Sins while you are here else Wo will be to you if you put it off till hereafter Christ came to save his People from their Sins and to destroy the works of the Devil which is Sin Mat. 1.21 And who doth not know this Work wrought in them by Christ they cannot so properly call him their Saviour For how is he a Saviour to such who are not saved by him from their Sins Christ taught Perfection here the Apostles and Saints knew a being made free from Sin while they were in this World and their Labour and Work was that they might present every Man Perfect in Christ Jesus See Mat. 5.48 Rom. 6.15 Col. 1.28 Therefore such as Teach and hold otherwise are contrary to Christ and contrary to his Ministers then judge whose Ministers they be for the Ministers of Christ they cannot be said to be who teach contrary to him and therefore are they to be turned away from and not to be believed So while that Spirit Rules in the Heart which leads to Sin there is not room for Truth but Sin is lived in the Spirit of Truth not being obeyed which frees from Sin and so while it is thus such cannot be said to be the Servants of Righteousness see Rom. 6.20 And so while People follow such they give their Money for that which is not Bread and their Labour for that which satisfieth nor see Isa 55.2 Therefore turn your minds to the Light of Christ in you that you may know the Lord to be your Teacher who teacheth his People to profit so will you be taught of him and in Righteousness will you be established so hereby you will know him your Teacher who saith Whosoever will let him take the Water of Life freely see Revel 22.17 So here I give you a mark whereby you shall know the Ministers of Christ from others the Ministers of Christ they gave freely as they have freely received according to the Commandment of Christ Mat. 10.8 The Ministers of Antichrist preach for Hire and filthy lucre and seek for their gain from their Quarters like the false Prophets and like those mentioned in the Scriptures prepare war against them that puts not into their Mouthes Mic. 3.5 And whether William Ley Priest of Nicholass Parish in Worcester did not like them for his Belly on the account of his Easter reckonings as he calls it Cast into and Keep Robert Smith and Edward Bourne of that Parish in Prison And would not make it appear to them it was his Right according to the Law of God which he ought to have done weigh these things with the Truth in your selves which weighs and measures things aright and give judgment herein accordingly The Ballance of the Sanctuary hereby you will know which weighs things aright here you will know that within which the outward was a Figure of and consider whether they be the Ministers of Christ that love to be called Master Mat. 23.6 7. and love Salutations in the Markets and the Chiefest Places in the Assemblies and the uppermost Rooms at Feasts seeing Christ forbad it and cryed wo to such and whether such as these do
