with the same eternall spirit that gave forth the scriptures and with the light all such are condemned whatsoever profession they are of Sect or Opinion that walk not in the light and have not the life that gave forth the Scriptures with the light they are all condemned wherein we have unity And all you that are turned from the light which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall though you may professe the words declared from the light and their commands which they obeyed and yet not led by tht same light with it the light you are to be condemned And you that are turned from the light which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall you are in the self righteousnesse you are turned from the Lord our righteousnesse who are out of the light and hate the light and with the light you

and cleansing the land of evill doers which the righteous law takes hold upon which is perfect acccording to that of God in all consciences and is against such as act contrary to the light of God in the conscience who is a lover of peace and unity in that which never changeth in that which comprehends time in that which sees out of time from which love proceeds where all the children of God in the light meet in one judgment and mind which light is the condemnation of the world in which light they walk where there is no strife not war for the earth nor about the earth but from the earth su h are redeemed to God the Lord whose the earth is who is come to reign and coming to reign Glory g ory to God Almight for ever who liveth and reigneth and endureth forever This is witnessed amongst them whom the world scornfully calls Quakers and the light is ours which shall condemn the world and them which do profess what they are not To the light of Christ in you all I speak that with it you may see your selves there is your Teacher that will not lye which will concondemn you if you do lye which will witness me eternally condemn you that hate it and shew you all the way to salvacion that love it and from Christ from whence it doth come which is the way to the Father and to you all this is the word of God and love and peace to your souls and a visitation And lay aside all your profession in words and have not the life for you are worse then they that make no profession for you have a cloak you are worse then the Publican the open sinner which sees himself quickly which is more justified with that which lets him see himself then you that stand up in your self-profession with that light which comes from Christ all self and all corruption and sin is judged and condemned and nothing is justified but what is sanctified and nothing is glorified but what is justified and so all every where r ad your selves to the light in all your consciences I speak that with it you may see your selves where you are what you have been what you are whom you serve whom you worship and whether you know the Father of light or had known there had been such a one if the Scripture had not spoken of such a one with the light that knowledge is condemned for its death that talks of the same which knowledge is outward and whether you had known there had been a holy Ghost if the Scriprure had not spoken of the holy Ghost or whether you had known there had been a Christ if the Scripture had not spoken of Christ And whether you had known there had been a Gospell if the Scripture had not spoken

turned from the light of Christ within which brings to witness the temple of the holy Ghost and worships that which is turned from the light of Christ which speak their imaginations upon the words declared from the light these are the cage of unclean birds these are they that do persecute these are they that paint themselves and such are the harlots the welfavoured harlots and build the Tombs of the Prophets and the Apostles and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous but with the light which Christ Jesus hath inlightned withall which comes from him all such actions and practices and such a profession from God is seen and condemned With all the children of light who are of God and to you all this is the word of God This I command you all in the presence of the living God to walk in the light that Christ Jesus hath enlightned you withall that with it you may all come to see Christ and walk in the light and life as the Saints did which from it the Scripture proceeded and walking every

be no more Lo here is Christ Lo there is Christ and toto al this is the word of God you that of God in you al I speak that with it your minds may be stayed upon God and that you may come to witness your soules quickned with the living power which raises it up out of death and throws down the earth and wait in the light which comes from Christ that this you may come to enjoy in life substance and power which will lead you out of form and words to the life that gave forth the words for who have the words and not the life from it are strangers and with it are to be judged for so to it I speak
