no circumcision but the circumcision of the heart which is the putting away of all the uncleanness of the flesh nor in it there is no means of salvation but Christ the onely way the truth and the life and none comes to the Father but by him he declares of the Father and there is no light but the light of the Lamb all that are saved shall walk in the light of the Lamb and there shall be no need of any other light no need of the light of the Sun nor of the Moon nor of a candle but the Lord is unto them an everlasting light and God alone is their glory and this Covenant is for ever and cannot alter nor change but is sure unto the seed of his own inheritance but he that is born of the flesh hath no part in it who is shut out from the knowledge of God who is not known to the wisdom of this World which is foolishnesse with God and the knowledge of God is received no other way but only by the revelation of Jesus Christ and by the working of the Spirit of the Father in the heart he opens the blind eye and unstops the deaf ear and changeth the heart and causeth it to understand and he removes that which hath stood in the way betwixt God and the creature which hath caused ignorance in the creature that the Lord could not be seen nor perceived Christ Jesus the second Adam lighteth every man and all mankind that cometh into the world with the true light but some hates the light and they will not come to the light least their deeds should be reproved and their deeds are evill and they are in a condemned estate and such cannot receive Christ nor the knowledge of God but such who love the light with which Christ hath enlightened them they bring all their deeds to the light and walks in the light and their deeds are wrought in God never to be condemned and such as loves the light receives Christ and the knowledge of God which is eternall life and none comes to the knowledge of God and of Christ any other way but through the light of Christ and by the operation of the Spirit of God and evill is condemned out of the heart and the heart is made clean by the word of God and the knowledge of God is received into the clean heart and nor into the impure for without holinesse none shall see God nor ever come to the knowledge of him neither can the knowledge of God be received by the traditions of men or any outward observance in the will of man but only by the teachings of the eternal Spirit is the living God known in the creature CHAP. XVII Concerning Faith this testimony I give unto the World FAith is the gift of God and by it Christ is received and enjoyed it is the substance of things hoped for and the very evidence of things not seen gives the creature to believe God in all what he hath promised all that which is acted and spoken in it is well pleasing unto God and that which is done without sinne it is the strength of the creature to act for God in all things it is that whereby the world is overcome and all the powers of hell and death it is the armour against the Devill and the defence of all the children of God by it they overcome all their enemies and through it they reign over all the world it carries through all sufferings and tribulations with joy and patience Faith is an act of God in the creature through it peace and righteousnesse and the crown of life is received from God by Faith all things are received that are received of God by any of his children He that hath Faith sees and feels the Lords presence at all times and through Faith we do and suffer gladly for the name of Christ in all things and this is thus far our testimony given by the Spirit of the Father of these things of which we have received the knowledge from God who hath given us his treasure and we have this treasure in earthen vessells even the knowledge of these things which are eternall which is not our own but the Lords to give forth according to his movings and of those rhings have we handled tasted and felt CHAP. XVIII Concerning what works are accepted of God and what works are not accepted brought forth by the Creature WHatsoever work man is moved and led unto by the Spirit of God and guided and ruled in the practice of to speak or act whatsoever by the same Spirit which moveth and leadeth into all the works of righteousnesse and not into any evill this is acceptable in the sight of the Lord and these works are well pleasing to him where the Lord goes before and is the leader in all things and this man and his works who is led with the Spirit of the Father is justified and accepted of God and not for the creatures sake who respects not the person of any but for his own Name sake because they are wrought in him through faith and is moved unto and guided in by his own Spirit and they arise from Gods righteousness revealed in the creature and not from the righteousness of the creature for man being changed and replanted into the living Vine and the root being good every work which springeth forth from it is good also and accepted of God because the root is so But whatsoever works are brought forth by any creature though the same in appearance which are accepted of God from another yet not being moved unto nor guided in by the Spirit of the Father but brought forth in the will and wisdom of the creature which is from below and acted in imitation from the Saints words these works are not accepted and well pleasing unto God but is offence unto him and sin against him even the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination unto him and if a man come before the Lord with thousands of Rams and ten thousand of Rivers of Oyl and if he give the fruit of his body for the sin of the soul and cover the Altar with tears and is not led with a measure of Gods Spirit none of all these works are accepted nor his preaching praying baptism nor breaking of bread nor any other observances towards God whatsoever are not good in his sight but evill and to be contemnted and the root from whence they spring because man is in the enmity against him and not changed out of the old root nor in that state is not led with the holy Spirit of the Father and the root being bad the branches are evill and none are accepted of God in any thing which they perform towards him but such as are in Christ Jesus the second Adam and such are new creatures so that it is not for the creatures sake that any work is accepted of or offence against God but onely for his Name

all them to envy wrath pride whoredom drunkenness theft and murther and all the works of darkness sin and death he is the fountain and root of all these and the leader and ruler in the exercise of them and of every evill word and work whatsoever which are contrary to God he abode not in the truth and he hath led all mankind out of truth into all deceit and unrighteousnesse and into every evill way and he dwells in darkness and inhabits in thick darkness and is out of the light and is separate from the presence of God for ever bound in chains of darkness and ignorance and unbelief and he hath power in the earthly part of man and a law in the members and he possesses him that is born of the flesh his covenant is with him who is not born of the seed of God who cannot sin such are in covenant with God and renewed into his image but such as are not hath the Devill power in to captivate and lead their minds into vanity and their affections and desires into all that which is evill by which the Spirit of God the Creator of all things is grieved and his soul vexed and all murther and deceitfull works of the world and all whatsoever is contrary to God in words thoughts or actions is of the Devill that wicked one and from him and all that follow his movings and worketh evill thereby they serve him and obey him he is their God and their King and they are his people and his subjects he is their Father and they are his children he is their root and they are his off-sprign and brings forth fruit unto him and serves and worships him and not the true God that made all things and all such must be cast into utter darknesse with him and shall have their portion with him in the bottemlesse pit of darknesse for ever and ever where there is no end of woe and sorrow and misery for in the anger of God there the worm dies nor nor the fire is not quenched and out of that there is no redemption for the unclean and all such who are led of him who is out of the truth and in evill are judged and condemned and damned by him who is the truth who judgeth righteously and as he hath not ceased to work evill and to draw the children of men into evill for he continually tempteth to lead from God into rebellion against him And they that are led by him are destroyed and he shall not cease to sorrow woe and misery for ever as he hath not ceased to work evill he liveth and moveth in the anger of God his beginning was in it and all his works are in it and it shall be the reward of him and all that obey him in the separation from Gods everlasting presence for ever and ever CHAP. XV Concerning all creatures that God made this testimony I give unto all the World ALL creatures that God made in their creation and beginning was very good in his sight that made them and unto man that was to use them and no creature was evill or defiled in its creation but mankind transgressing against his Maker he became evill and did evill in the sight of the Lord and he being possessed with evill and corrupted he makes all creatures evill in his exercise of them and he corrupts them and perverts them to another end than wherefore they were created and by the creatures dishonours the Creator who should have honoured him by them and they are become a curse unto man and not a blessing though in themselves are neither cursed nor evill nor defiled but is become so unto man because of his transgression and disobedience for he being in the curse and defiled all things are so unto him and in his exercise of them he is wicked abusing them upon the lust to satisfie his devillish mind and ruling over them in oppression and cruelty and hard heartedness and not in the wisdom of God as he ought and he subverts them out from their pure vertue feeding his lust in pride and voluptuousness with that which should keep him from hunger and nakednesse and so pleasing the lust in all things more than satisfying pure nature and this ought not to be for it is out of the covenant of God in which all creatures was made and in which they stand except the creature man who is degenerated out of Gods covenant and subverts all things to his own end and not unto the glory of God while he continues in that state unreconciled to God but man being restored and redeemed and renewed again into covenant with God through the condemning of the evill then all creatures to him are restored and made blessed the curse being removed out of his own heart the creatures are no longer cursed to him but good and decent and enjoyed and received in the covenant of God in the life and vertue by which they were created and by the wisdom which they were made man comes to order them and exercise himself in them and no more are they spent upon the lust nor on the vain mind nor ruled over in oppression but all that is condemned and all creatures are seen to be the Lords and the whole earth is his and the fulnesse thereof and the abuse of all creatures is ceased and they are enjoyed in their pure vertue to feed and to cloth the creature and not to be destroyed upon the lust but for the healths-sake are they used to the glory of the Creator and unto the end wherefore he created them and are pure as they were in the beginning and the blessing is felt which is more than all creatures CHAP. XVI Concerning the new Covenant and how man comes to the knowledge of God this testimony I give THe Covenant of God is unity betwixt God and man and a binding each to other to serve each other the one is bound to obey and submit and worship and the other to blesse and keep and lead and preserve this Covenant is established with his own seed for ever and there is no teacher but God all is taught of him from the least to the greatest who are in this Covenant his just Law is written in their heart to condemn all transgression and his pure Spirit is put into the inward parts to be the rule and guide of life in all things and none need to say know the Lord but all knows him in the Spirit and worships him and obeys him and follows him in spirit and in truth and such are come into peace and reconciliation and God and the Covenant with Hell and death is broken and in this Covenant there is no Priest nor offering but Christ Jesus the high Priest of God the one offering for sinne he takes away sin and makes intercession and in it is no temple but our bodies are the temple of God and he dwells in us and walks in us and there is
