times mourned and lamented and their Souls endured griefe and trouble for want of Christ whom they earnestly breathed after and though they had gone through many invented forms and tried the depths of mans wisdom in his own way yet they could not finde him whom their Souls longed after but when the glorious Gospel brake forth in its own power and came to be preached in the life then by its strength their Ears were pierced and the joyful sound did enter into their hearts and the living witness of God was raised and life from death was witnessed and then they found him whom their souls loved and such knows the Scripture to be fulfilled and can truly say How beatutiful is the feet of him that brought glad tidings of Salvation and published peace who is risen in life to proclaim the Gospel and such do witness that the night is over and gone and the day is come and the light of the knowledge of the glory of God shines in their hearts in the face of Jesus Christ who is the first born of God that brought many Son to glory who are now made living witnesses of his Resurrection and his life and are allowed of God to be put in trust with the Gospel whose labour and traveail is in the strength and power of God and in the same they publish his message that people may be turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive remission of sins and come to an inheritance amongst all that are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus and whosoever doth not bring this message is not to be received for it is the same Gospel that was preached unto Abraham and in which he believed it is the same Gospel that was preached by the Apostles and in which many then believed and what they had heard and seen and tasted and handled of the word of life that they declared in the life and so they preached Christ Jesus the power of God to Salvation and there was not another Gospel to be brought either by Angel or man but they that brought it was to be accursed for the Apostle said though we or an Angel from heaven preach any other Gospel unto you then that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed as we said before so say I now again if any man preach any other Gospel unto you then that ye have received let him be accursed but I certifie you brethren that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man for I neither received it of man neither was I taught it but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ Gal. 1. Oh that they which speak of themselves would consider this who knowes no more of the Gospel then what they receive of man and are taught by man which is not the way by which the Apostle came to the Gospel and therefore it is evident that such have not the Gospel to preach who denies revelation and so they preach another Gospel then that which the Apostle preached But now the same Gospel is known again by many in whom Jesus Christ is revealed who hath brought life and Immortallity to light by the Gospel and in his power it is preached again even the same Gospel which is neither of man nor by man but in the same power received as they received it and in the same power preached as they preached it and it is committed unto faithful men whom God hath intrusted with it who are able to teach others also and this is the Light which shines out of darkness and goes over the night of apostacy with all the Apostates Inventions and in power redeemes people up to God again from whom they are alienated in the apostacy and such whose Eys are shut and Ears stopped and hearts hardened against this glorious administration of the Gospel they are of all men most miserable for it is the mighty power of God unto Salvation unto all that believe in it and receives it but they that reject it and are rebellious against it they reject the loving kindness of God and with the Gospel are condemned and not saved for they that believe not they are condemned because they believe not in the name of the onely begotten Son of God but unto all that do believe his appearance brings life and immortallity to light by the Gospel and it is evident that it is the same Gospel that is now preached and not another for it hath wrought effectually in the hearts of many and hath purged and expelled the uncleanness and filthiness both of flesh and spirit and hath pulled down felf-righteousness and revealed the Righteousness of God in which many are established so that the life of such now who have received the Gospel doth fully answer to the life of such then by which it is manifest that it is the same Gospel and not another having wrought the same work in the hearts of all that have received it as in times past and they answer to the same in life and practice as face answers face in a glass so that the demonstration of the Gospels power may be clearly distinguished from all Inventions for though there may be fair shews of Godliness in some particular forms yet they are not translated into the power and life of Christ in which the Gospel administration standeth therefore unto all such who yet abide in darkness and are seeking peace in their own way is this message sent in love that they unto the Light may be turned by which the danger of their way will be opened and discovered for the Light will open that eye which hath been closed and unstop that Eare which hath been stopped and break that heart which hath been hardned by the God of this World and so they will come to see and hear and understand what is with the Light made manifest without which the things of God can never be perceived for as the Light is in it self a most holy pure and Righteous principle so it doth discover in mans Conscience all unrighteousness which is sin and lets him see what lovers he hath entertained into his heart which defiles him and makes him unclean in the sight of the pure God and in the Light waiting that voyce which speaks from heaven will be heard and the Gospel will sound into that Ear which is unstopped pierce into the heart prick it and with the precious savour of its virtue it will soften it and so the Light of the glorious Gospel will shine out of the night of apostacy and bring glad tidings into the Soul which in the night of apostacy hath been captivated and there man will come to feele the love which God hath unto him who would not that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledg of the truth and be saved and there is no want of love from God to save men but there is want of love from men to close
