their children after them I will make an everlasting covenant with them That I will not turn away from them to do them good but I will put my fear into their hearts that they shall not depart from me So you that had the covenant given to your Fathers when they came out of the Land of Egypt stood against his covenant though it was witnessed by Moses and the Prophets which you read so you stand against the promise of God to you which now thousands of the Gentiles do witness the covenant of Light which to them was promised with which they know God and so are come into the life of the Law and covenant of God which reconciles Jew and Gentiles together which brings to see that he is God of both and brings them to one so that which doth convert brings into the life that the Prophets spoke of and Moses spoke of which God to them did let see and the promise which thing is come to pass and the life of the Law and the Prophets is witnessed and him that sits on the Throne of David now reigns And again thus saith the Lord If ye can break my covenant of the day take notice and my covenant of the night that there should not be day and night in their season Mark This Covenant which orders day and night in their season then may also my covement be broken with David my servant that he should not have a son to reign upon his Throne and this is the covenant and this is the King of the Jews which they would not have him to reign And this is he who bears his Government upon his Shoulders which is without end and this is the Heir and this is he that is come for judgement into the world to make them blinde that say they see and to make them see that sees not And this is the question that lies upon you to answer If he was Davids Son how did he call him Lord Now as you come to the Light you will see it and him that shall and doth reign on the Throne of David with the Priests Levites and Ministers as the Host of Heaven cannot be numbred neither the Sand of the Sea measured so will I multiply the Seed of David my Servant saith the Lord. Now he that sits on the Throne of David his Seed witnesses him Lord and King who is the Prince of life that hath Dominion over death through death hath destroyed him that hath the power of death and Repentance is preached and remission of sins through faith in him from whence comes the refreshing into the soul who is the Bishop of it and as they cannot break the covenant that keepeth day and night in its season for they was made by him who was the covenant so they cannot break this covenant with David that he should not have a Son to reign on his Throne if they can break that covenant that orders day and night then they may break this covenant with David my Servant Jer. 33. that he should not have a Son to reign on his Throne They shall set their faces towards Zion saying Come let us joyne our selves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten Now the everlasting covenant written in the heart by which you need not say Know the Lord brings from among the Heathen seperates from from among the strangers and aliens from the life of God as the Gentiles were Though the Lord by his Spirit in the Prophets spoke of the Promise That he should be a Light to the Gentiles and that they should see his glory which many now do enjoy and imbrace and see him who sits on the Throne of David him whom Abraham David and Isaiah saw and Jeremiah saw and the Prophets gave Testimony of and Moses who said God would raise up and the people should hear him and the people doth hear him yet they which had the words being strangers from the life of God knew him not when he was come and God had raised him up but denied the Resurrection of the Just One. And Jesus Christ the EMANVEL that Moses spoke of the Prophet which God raised up said Think not I am come to destroy the Law but to fulfil it whom your Fathers thought was out of the life of it Saith he It was said in old time Thou shalt not commit Adultery mark Commit it But I say unto you He that looketh after a woman to lust after her hath in his heart committed adultery already Now mark here is the Law written in the heart here is the new Covenant that the Prophet speaks of which is agreeable to Moses and to them all that which fulfils the LAW not breaks it And the Law saith Thou shalt do no murder but your Fathers which had garnished the Sepulchres of the Prophets which their Fathers had killed desired a Murderer before the Just One the Emanuel the Saviour him whom Moses the Prophets and Abraham did give testimony of and they said His blood be upon us and Christ said All the righteous blood from Abel to Zacherias should be required of this Generation So have you not been driven into other nations and your houses been desolate since and Jerusalem trodden under foot where the Prophets perished that shewed the coming of the Just One which at last the Son was cast out by you upon whom the Gentiles hath trodden But now is the Lord gathering to himself and his Name is great among the Gentiles and the Remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people which now is witnessed and his Tent is known as the dew from the Lord as the shewers on the grass that tarries not for man take notice nor waits for the Son of man and the Remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as al yon among the Beasts of the Forrest as a yong lyon among the sheep whom it he go thorow he tares down and tares in pieces and none can deliver Now this is seen among many people And in that day saith the Lord Isa 10.11 there shall be a root of Iess which shall stand for an ensign of the people to it the Gentiles shall seek and his rest shall be glorious Now the Gentiles have found this glorious rest which to this ensign this root of Iess they do seek this day is fulfilled among them and witnessed glory to the Lord God the Highest for ever And he shall set up an ensign for the Nations and shall assemble the out casts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Iudah from the four corners of the earth Now this Ensign is set up for the out-casts of Israel for Nations and to the gathering of the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth Now you owning the light you own this ensign and this ensign now is witnessed see it and have that set upon the Throne of David for the Lord

TO the Iews scattered who are the seed of God to whom the promise belongs who have long had the words but mist the promise which promise is to the seed from them who are of the seed who witness the promise to you this is sent From them that are of the seed of Abraham to all the scattered Iewes according the flesh who have the Law of God the form of it but being found out of the life of it have not possessed that which Moses saw who received the Law from God which Law you have the form of and your fathers in ages past had who put Christ to death and slew him that is the end of the Law Gods Righteousness Christ Iesus the end of Gods righteous Law which Law was to keep out of all unrighteousness And your Fathers that had the form of the Law slew the Prophets that shewed the coming of this just One Christ Iesus the end of his righteous Law Gods Righteousness they having the Prophets words and Moses words but out of the Prophets and Moses life who saw the just One that was to come and fuffer were those that slew the Prophets David saw the just one and called him Lord and Moses saw him which received the Law from God which Law was given to your fathers which you have had the form of who said Deut. 18. Like unto me will God raise you up a Prophet from among your brethren and him they should bear and every one that would not hear that Prophet should be cut off Now your Fathers that had Moses who this Prophet saw and received the Law from him he said God would raise up this Prophet and he came among your Fathers that had the Law and Moses words but not Moses life and the Prophets words but not the Prophets life but they knew him not neither heard him though he was a Prophet raised up from among the Brethren and was made of the seed of Abraham according to the flesh but declared to be the Son of God according to the Scriptures by signes wonders and miracles Devils being made subject to him loosing many from their chains which were kept under bonds and yet your Fathers believed not that Prophet which Moses saw and the Prophets saw which was to come to fulfil what was written of him neither heard they him though it was Moses command they should and Gods command So therein was in the transgression though the Law the words of it they had but found in the transgression out of the life of the Law and the life of the Prophets and came to be mingled among the Heathen which knew not God who be in the same transgression though you profess the words declared from the life wherefore being out of the life of the Prophets being raised up among your Fathers who speak of this just one of this Prophet your Fathers did persecute them and did put them to death and at last the Son come And to your Fathers spoke a parable Luk. 20.13.81 which was agreeable to the Prophets words As a man letting forth a vineyard to husbandmen and he sent his servants to look for fruits and they beat one and cast him out and wounded another and killed another and last of all he sent his Son and when they saw the Son the Heir of the Vineyard Come said they to the Keepers of the Vineyard this is the Heir let us kill him and cast him out then the Vineyard will be ours And these things your Fathers did fulfil they killed him they cast him out and delivered him up to the Gentiles to be mocked scourged and crucified Now consider what hath become of you since of you Husbandmen have you not been laid waste and was not the word fulfilled concerning his coming and rising up from among the Brethren And when he was come among you he would have gathered you as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings but your fathers would not And he shewed them how they stoned the Prophets and killed them and how Wise men should be sent among them and Scribes and Prophets some of them they should crucifie and scourge in their Synagogues because they neither knew the Father nor the Prophet that he had raised up which Moses spoke of Wherefore Mat. 23. ●● saith he to JERUSALEM Behold your house is left unto you desolate Hath it not been so Was he not a true Prophet to you herein Are not your Houses unto you left desolate Are not the Prophets words here fulfilled on your fathers and you scattered which Prophet Moses spake of who went up to Jerusalem and was betrayed by him that David spoke of unto the chief priests and Scribes who condemned him to death and delivered him to the Gentiles to be mocked scourged and crucified but the third day he rose again and saith Christ It cannot be that a Prophet perish out of Jerusalem This the Prophet spake to your Fathers of whom you have the form of the law and the words of the Prophets which killed the Prophets and yet built their Sepulchres Here you may see your Fathers and as it was with them so it is with you being now found in the same Transgression untill you come to the life of the Prophets of Moses then with the life you see him who is the end of the Prophets and Moses even the EMANVEL spoken of born of a Virgin which is Christ Now coming to the life the Prophets were in and Moses was in with that this you will come to see and with that you will come to the Conversion and see the everlasting Offering And Christ the EMANVEL this Prophet whom Moses speaks of and the Prophets saw who said it could not be that a Prophet perish out of Jerusalem was delivered by the chief Priests and Scribes to be condemned to death and delivered to the Gentiles to be mocked scourged and crucified Now minde He was

betrayed into the hands of the chief priests and scribes and was condemned to death and by them delivered to the Gentiles to be scourged and crucified Now saith Christ when you shall see Ierusalem compassed with Armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh Hath not Ierusalem been compassed with armies and hath it not been laid waste your House desolate and scattered as the Prophet said Hath not Ierusalem been compassed with armies where the Prophets were slaine and saith the Prophet They should fall by the edge of the Sword Luk. 21.24 and be led away captive into all Nations and Ierusalem should be trodden down of the Gentiles to whom your Fathers delivered him to be crucified to death untill the time of the Gentiles was fulfilled Now minde Are not these words fulfilled which the Prophet spake whom God raised up Is not Ierusalem trodden down have not you been carried Captives into other Nations have not the Gentiles trodden Ierusalem under foot hath it not been compassed with Armies have not your houses been left desolate have not some fallen by the Edge of the Sword Have not they come upon you the Gentiles whom you delivered this Prophet unto to be mockt and crucified and have not they laid Jerusalem waste And hath not the Temple been thrown down and not one stone left upon another which Solomon was commanded to build as Christ foretold who was a greater then Solomon So consider Are not the words of this Prophet fulfilled on you that had the words of the Prophets but being out of the Life knew not the Substance and being strangers from the Life of Moses who had the Life of the Law and strangers from the Life of the Prophets you see not Gods purpose nor decree nor determinated counsel which had shewed unto his Prophets of the coming of the Just One before he came whom your Fathers being in the transgression out of the life of the Law and the Prophets chose a Murderer Barabbas and the Chief Priests perswaded the people to ask the Murderer and to crucifie the Just Doth not this shew that they was in the state of the Murderer And when the Just was risen which death nor bonds could not hold according to the determinable counsel of God as David who foresaw it Psalm 16.10 said He would not leave his soul in hell nor suffer his Holy One to see corruption The chief Priests and those that set a guard on Christ after they had crucified him when the news came he was risen gave large money to the Souldiers to say that his disciples came by night and stole him away and this Report hath gone among the Iews and so blinded you with a lye for a lye is of the devil and he it is that is out of the truth and abode not in it that blindes the eye and casts a mist before their eyes that they should not believe and so believe the lyes before the truth For had your Fathers known Moses and the Prophets in the life they would have known him the just One the Holy One whom God would not suffer to see corruption though he was numbred among the transgressors and among them he made his grave whom God highly exalted at his right hand to whom Thrones Powers and Dominions must be subject to who is the end of Gods Righteous Law Gods Righteousness which the Prophet Esay spoke of who could not hold his peace for Zions sake Isa 62.1 and for Ierusalems sake he could not rest until the Righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth And the Gentiles shall see thy Righteousness and Kings thy glory and thou shalt be called by a new Name This Righteousness is come forth and the Gentiles see it and doth burn as a lamp and the brightness and salvation thereof is witnessed among them and the vengeance of our God is proclaimed the acceptable yeer of the Lord is come and comfort to all that mourn Isa 61. the good tydings is preached to the meek the broken hearted is bound up Liberty is proclaimed to the Captives and the Prison doors are opened and them that are bound go forth who sing of his glory and the Gentiles see●h is Righteousness and profess it and the Lord is an everlasting light to his people and God their glory For we can call salvation our walls and gates praise And the sons have come from far this is witnessed and behold saith the Lord Gentiles shall come to thy light and Kings to the brightness of thy rising lift up thine eyes round about thee and all that gather themselves together they shall come to thee from far and saith the Lord Arise shine for thy light is come for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee behold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee Isa 60.

Your Fathers had the Tabernacle of VVitness in the VVilderness as he had appointed speaking unto Moses that he should make it according to the fashion which he had seen which also the Fathers that came after brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles whom God drave out before the face of our Fathers unto the dayes of David who found savor before God and desired to find a Tabernacle for the God of Jacob but Solomon built him a house howbeit the most high dwelleth not in temples made with hands as saith the Prophet Heaven is my Throne and the earth is my footstool what house will yee build me saith the Lord or what is the place of my rest Now your fathers that held up these o●tward things being not in the life that saw beyond them the end of them the things which Steven here witnessed whom your fathers that had the Law not the lise put to death which had persecuted the Prophets that shewed the coming of the Iust One of whom they had been the betrayers murderers of that stoned Steven these know not that new thing that must come to pass before declared which the Lord by his Prophets spoke of but were disobedient rebellious against the Lord cast his law behind their backs slew his prophets which testified against them to turn them to the Lord they wrought great provocations therfore the Lord delivered them to their enemies vexed them in the time of their troubles when they cried to him he heard them according to his manifold Mercies he gave them a Savior who saved them from the hand of their Enemies Now you may see the cause why his hand was against them being rebellious and disobedient casting the Law behind their backs being out of the life of it here is the cause of slaying the Prophets who witnessed the life of his Law and yet many yeers did the Lord forbear them and testifie against them that had the words by the Spirit in his Prophets Therefore now you having the Prophets words have built their Sepulchres were you in the Prophets life you would see that which the Prophets gave Testimony of and Moses him by whom the world was made the Glory of Israel the light of the Gentiles the leader of the people take notice the light is to lead yea the light is the leader of the people Now you being out of the life of the Prophets and Moses having their words thinking to have life in the Scriptures searching them which do testifie of Christ but not coming to the Prophets
