things as to the truth that is in them and that was the Sadduces condition concerning the Resurrection and Christ said unto them ye do err not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God for if they had known the Scriptures and the ●ower of God they would 〈◊〉 understood the truth of the 〈◊〉 and not erred in 〈◊〉 judgement and opinion for it was their judgement that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 no Resurrection and that 〈◊〉 their Error or mistake 〈◊〉 Christ opened the truth unto them saying God is not the God of the dead but of the living so truth is not to be concluded as to what men hold in their judgement and opinion seeing Christ reproved it 〈◊〉 error in the 〈◊〉 but that which is revealed in 〈◊〉 and spirit of God may be safely concluded to be the 〈◊〉 which is no error for he that is the light and truth did see the Saddu●●● error in what they held in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and opinion concerning the Resurrection and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 there be for people to give up their belief to the judge●●●● 〈◊〉 opinion of natural men as to spiritual things there can be no ●ore safety in so doing then for one blind man to be led or guided by another that is as blind as himself therefore I shall speak in plainness to the Rulers and People of England for their information in the things of God if happily the light may shine out of darkness in such where it shines in darkness and by darkness not comprehended that if it seem good to the Lord the day may break in them and the Sun of righteousness may arise with healing under his Wings Friends unto you all that are striving against the blessed appearance of Christ Jesus the Lord of Life and Prince of Peace this matter is offered in love to your souls and to the whole nation and though I well know that judgement lingreth not where wickedness aboundeth So I also know that God would not the death of a sinner but rather he would turn from his wickedness and live and this I deliver as a testimony for God and in this matter I shall not appear like Tertullus the flourishing Orator but like Paul the plain and true Apostle for in such weighty concernments the Fear of the Lord is to be minded and his counsel and wisdom to be obeyed and followed and in that I shall speak to the witness of God in all your consciences 1. The Almighty and Everlasting God created all things good man in that state was blessed and happy in the paradic of God and there his Soul enjoyed the benefit and comfort in the life and power by which it was nourished 2. The good and blessed state in which man was created he loss by disobedience and so was driven out of paradice to his Souls sorrow and heaviness and that is the state of all people in the first Adams transgression 3. The Almighty and Everlasting God promised a seed to break the Serpents head that tempted man forth of his good and blessed state in which he was created that man might be again restored into his first being of life 4. The seed promised was Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God who by the arm of his power is able to destroy the Devil and his Work and to bring Man again unto God and the good 5. The holy men of God in all ages did bear witness of the power of the seed in working deliverance from the power of the Serpent by which they came to witness Gods promise fulfilled and to live in the joy of his Salvation 6. There is no nation people or Language unto whom the seed doth not give light for the 〈◊〉 is Christ and Christ lighteth every one that comes into the World and his Light is a Witness in every ones conscience unto that which is good ●nd against that which is evil 7. Man believing and obeying the testimony of the Light of Christ in his conscience it worketh in power for his deliverance out of darkness where his Soul is in bondage sorrow and heaviness and restores into the good again where the Soul comes into peace joy and happiness and so Christ is the restorer of 〈◊〉 to dwell in Now as you profess your selves to be believers in Christ and so to be Christians it is necessary that you consider how far you can witne●s the promise of God fulfilled in you by the power of Christ and that you may fully examine your own conditions these following questions may be useful to you 1. Do you believe in the Light with which Christ lighteth you 2. Do you obey the Testimony of Light in your own Consciences 3. Do you witness your sin done away and the serpents head broken 4 Do you witness deliverance out of darkness and the house of bondage 5. Do you witness liberty in the power of an endless life 6. Do you witness the righteousness of Christ to be made your righteousness 7. Do you witness unity and peace in the righteousness of Christ. 8. Do you witness the goodness of God to satisfie your Souls 9. Do you follow peace with all men and holiness 10. Do you feel the peace of God rule in your hearts 11. Do you love your enemies and do good to those that hate you 12. Do you serve God in Fear and Rejoyce before him with reverence Examine your selves and your condition by these few questions for these good and holy things are witnessed by such as are regenerated and born again and except you be regenerated and born again you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God and can your Souls be satisfied out of Gods Kingdom and is it not the greatest concernment to know an entrance into the Kingdom of God where the Soul comes to be satisfied in rest and peace and comfort and happiness and so there is a coming out of the first Adams transgression as the light and power of the second Adam is obeyed in manifestation and operation for the operation of the light and power of Christ Jesus the second Adam makes a new creature and they that receive Christ in his light and power to come into Union with him they are new creatures and new creatures are Christians in Nature and Life and the Spirit beareth witness with their spirits that they are the sons of God and in such all old things are done away and all things are become new and so they are in the New Covenant with a new heart and a new spirit which God gives them and puts into them and these are the people who now worship God in the spirit and rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh and so they answer the life and practice of new creatures and Christians in times past and this keeps the harmony and doth not break it for the same righteousness Unity and Peace runs as a natural stream in the same light spirit life and power that is in Christ Jesus and
