A●d remember this that Mocking and Scorning and Jeering and Deriding are all Works of Darkness and not wrought in the Light but with the Light are all condemned S. C.

Rebellious and the Gift of God to the Rebellious is the Light which sheweth him his Rebellion and for this Cause it is given him that he might return from his Rebellion unto God the Giver Now Christ is the Light the Way the Truth and the Life and this is the Gift of God and they that receive love believe and follow the Light which showeth unto them their Sins they shall receive Power to come out of their Sins and to become Children of God and that Light which is the Gift of God that shall justifie and comfort them But they that disobey reject despise and hate the Light which sheweth unto them their Sins they shall abide in Darkness and if they Repent not they shall dye in their Sins and the Light which was God's Gift to them which shewed unto them their Sins and call'd unto them to forsake their Sins shall remain their Condemnation Blessed are they that love and obey the Light and believe in it for they shall be kept by it through Faith out of condemnation and they shall feel and know the Light to be their continual Teacher to teach them that which God requireth them to do and it will give them Power to do it also Little Children joyn not your selves to the Wicked Mark neither keep Company with them that walk in Unrighteous Wayes lest they tempt you to run into Wickedness also and so ye come thereby to receive the Wages that Sinners must receive and the Wages of Sin and of such as live in S●n is Death And they that partake with the Wicked in their Wickedness they also must partake with them in the Judgment therefore refrain from the Company of the Wicked and delight your selves in the Fear of the Lord. They that seek to the Wicked for Counsel they go to a corrupt Fountain but they that seek to the Lord for Counsel and live in his Fear they shall find the Treasures of Wisdom and the Fountain of Life Children delight not your selves in earthly Riches nor in the Honour of the World nor in the Pleasures of the Flesh nor in gay Apparel nor in vain Mirth in Musick nor in any Evil whatsoever but let this be your Delight to learn to know the Lord and to be obedient unto him Now Children the Light if ye wait in it that will learn you the fear of the Lord and it will shew unto you what the Lord commandeth you to do and it will lead you in Obedience unto God and his Commandments and so ye will be brought unto the End of the Matters and to the whole Duty of man which is to fear God and keep his Commandments and in the Light his Commandments are seen and they that receive the Light receive Power to keep them and to such they are not grievous but joyous Little Children wait in the Light G. F. Something concerning Original SIN THE Original of all Sin is out of the Truth and out of the Light and its conception is not in that Power by which all Creatures were made neither is its Original in that in which the Original of all Creatures is and doth stand And although Sin may be in a Creature it is not by Creation but by Degeneration not by the Power that made Man but by the Power that captivateth Man in his Senses and leadeth him from the Power that made him which he should be Subject and Obedient unto which Power placeth a Law in the Creature which it maketh and formeth and so as this was or is kept so long doth not Sin enter but when the other Power namely the Power of the Lust or earthly desire after something besides the pure Power and the Law of it takes the Creatures Senses into the Apprehension of something to be good beside the Law and the pure Obedience thereof here is Sins Original and Conception and so then the Knowledge of a Pleasure in Sin that enters into the Heart which is darkened with Love and Desire of that which is earthly and the Love which was to the Law which is the Light that grows cold and the Affections become deceived by the Subtilty of the Author ●f Transgression who is the ●egetter of the Evil Desires which is Sin in it self before ●t be brought forth to Action ●nd is of that Seed that is ha●ed in the Womb and then ●he Power not being loved which worketh to save out of ●he Sin at length the Feeling of ●t is lost and God the Power ●orgotten and the Creature led ●nto Captivity and the Power ●f death and Darkness comes ●p from the Pit of Darkness ●ver the Soul which bore the ●mage of him that created it and ●o then the the Begetting of the Power of Darkness the Prince of Iniquity the Father of Abominations and Defilements tha● begetting gets a Birth ●n th● Form of him that begot it● an● this takes the Dominion ove● the Creature and subjects i● unto Vanity not willingly 〈◊〉 but by force commanding i● the Members and making the● to be Servants to Unrighteou●ness bringeth forth continually through the Members that by Authority and Power which at the first was but pe●swaded and enticed unto an● so the Continuation of Si● and the Custom of sinning taketh away the Sence so that it becomes Natural to conceive Evil and to bring forth Mischief and to act Iniquity and this is the Nature in which all men are Children of Wrath one as well as another that are in it without respect to Persons Names Countries or any other thing whatsoever for Sin is the Transgression of the Law and where there is no Law there is no Transgression and where there is a Law there is Obedience required which not being yielded the Law is broken and Transgression committed so that of Necessity the Original of the pure righteous holy Law of God is first before the Original of Sin which is the Transgression of it and this is that which is near to every one even the Law which they should observe and keep and fulfill the requirings of it and not transgress and who take heed unto this do well and those that transgrses this do Evil as did Cain and then Sin lies at the Door which being finished brings forth Death and so as many as have sinned since the Foundation of the World it hath been by their departing aside from the pure Law of the Power that made them in their own Particulars unto that which their own Hearts l●sted after and so that having conceived in the Womb of Darkness in the blinded and deceived Affection brought forth the Sin which being finished in them and through them brought forth Death in their own particulars by what is done in thine own self and not by that which was done in another long ago So let none be deceived but all both Old and Young High and Low Rich and Poor mind the pure Law of God in your own Particulars which by Transgressing and Disobeying Sin has gotten Head

such are no Mi ni-sters of God's Word who tell you the Scrip-ture is the Word of God for they speak con-tra-ry to the Scrip-ture which saith Christ is the Word and was in the Be-gin-ning which the Scrip-ture was not and did be-come Flesh which the Scrip-ture never did and made the World which the Scrip-tures could not do and these are Mi-ni-sters of the Let-ter who are Mi-ni-sters of the Scrip-ture and not Mi-ni-sters of Christ the Word see-ing the Scrip-ture is nei-ther Christ nor the Word There-fore let e-ve-ry one Old and Young High and Low mind the Light of Jesus Christ within in the the Con-sci-ence and it Tea-ching that you may know the Path of Life and the Way of Righ-te-ous-ness that ye may be sa-ved from the Wrath that must come up-on them who by con-ti-nu-ing in their e-vil deeds pro-voke the Lord to An-ger And may be made Par-ta-kers of the Mer-cy and Lo-ving-kind-ness of God which is laid up in Christ Je-sus the Light for them that fear him and de-part from I-ni-qui-ty S. C. Little Children GOD that made the World and created all Things that therein is he is not a Man sitting as a Man above the Stars in some one place which place is called Heaven as many of the World and the Teachers thereof imagine But the true God who was Creator of all things h● is an Eternal Spirit and he is the Life and Vertue and Power that upholdeth all his Creatures and by him all things consist For without him no Creature can have a being for he giveth Life and Breath unto all that have it And this Eternal GOD no Mortal Man can approach unto for he only hath Immortallity and dwelleth in the Light And this Immortal God he cannot be kept in one place for his presence filleth Heaven and Earth the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain him as saith the Scripture And this God who is an Immortal Spirit he was your Creator and this is he whom you are to remember in the dayes of your Youth And to know this true and living God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent and freely given to be the Light of the World that all through the Light might believe it is Life Eternal Now God the higher Power he is called the Father and Christ the Light is called the Son and Christ was glorified with the Father before the World began And Christ the light was and is called the Word which was with God in the beginning and was and is God and God the higher Power and Christ the Word are One by whom the World was made And the Spirit of Truth that is Life which proceeds from the Father and the Son as say the Scriptures of Truth And these the Father Son and Spirit the world and their Teachers call Three Persons but they speak they know not what even as they have imagined contrary to the Scriptures Therefore Children believe them not For the Father which is called the Higher Power and the Son which is called the Word and the Spirit which is called Life which proceeds from the Father and Son these are one and are not separated For he that hath seen the Son hath seen the Father also for the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father and the Spirit proceedeth from the Father and the Son as saith the Scripture and these are one Being and Subsistence Now that Word which was in the Beginiing with God and was and is God by whom all things were made that were made Mark in that Word was Life and that Life was and is the Light of men And this is the true light which lighteth every one that cometh into the World that all through that Light might believe as saith the Scriptures of Truth This Light which every one is enlightned withal the Priests of the World call it a natural light but Children believe them not for they speak contrary to the Scripture For the Scriptures of Truth say That in the Word which was God by whom all Things were made was Life and the Life was the Light of Men So Children take notice that the Light of Men is the Life of the Word which is God And this Word is Eternal and Spiritual and this Word made all the natural lights and this Word also is called Christ the Son of God whose Life is the Light of Men. And this Word became Flesh and in due time he was made Manifest in the Likeness of Sinful Flesh in that Body which was supposed to be Joseph the Carpenter's Son and he was called Jesus And in him dwelt the Fulness of the Godhead bodily and this Jesus fulfilled the Will of him that sent him and he freely gave his Life a Ransome for many as saith the Scripture And as concerning the flesh he was crucified without the Gates of Jerusalem and he was buried and he is risen again according to the Scriptures and he wrought Eternal Salvation for all them that obey him And so the same that descended the same also ascended as saith the Scriptures he that came from the Father the same is gone to the Father again And he is glorified with the Father with the same Glory that he had with the Father before the World began And though some have known him after the flesh yet henceforth know they him so no more as say the Scriptures of Truth Now Children the Scriptures of Truth do declare of God and Christ and the Spirit of Truth which are one but the Scriptures cannot bring you to know God and Christ and the Spirit of Truth For no man knoweth the Father who is a Spirit but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him as say the Scriptures And they that come to see and know the Son they come to see and know the Father also for the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father as saith the Scriptures And they are call'd by one name which is the Word or the Light for the Word is God and Christ is the Word and God is Light and Christ is the Light of the World and the spirit of Life proceeds from God and Christ who are Light And whatsoever the Son seeth the Father do that doth he also and the spirit of Life is not separate from the Father and the Son in the Work Now Children the Father Son and Spirit which are one Being is the true one only God which you are to know believe in and Worship which God is a Spirit of Truth and they that Worship him must Worship him in the Spirit and in the Truth and before you can Worship him aright you must know him and believe in him And the Knowledge of God and the Faith in him man lost through disobeying the higher Power and so fell from God in the Transgression into darkness and death And all Children and People that be in Transgression in their Natural estate in the Fall they are out of the Knowledge
