being turned from the Covenant wherein he was set into his own willing and desiring in the outward Creation the evil defiled him and he became evil and a fruitless tree that cumbred the ground and an

transgression are you all subject to led captive in your minds affections desires at the vvill of the povver that leads into transgression called the devil in that state you are all strangers to God are vvithout him in the World ignorant of the knovvledg of his ways and are in the perishing state for want of knowledge and subject to the curse of the power which you transgress and are heirs of his Wrath having no part in the Inheritance of blessing for a vail of darkness through sin hath overspread you all and covered you all from the sight and hearing and feeling of the Creator and of the mystery of his glory and wisdom and every one in particular and none excepted of all the children of Adam upon the face of the whole earth but all have sinned and transgressed and death reigns over

men all flesh hath corrupted his way upon the earth in his sight that made it and the wickedness of man is great in the earth and the imaginations and thoughts of every mans heart is evil continually and grieveth the Creator for the whole earth is filled with violence through mans trnsgression And now if any stock or age hath priviledge one above another to redemption and salvation and to the Kingdom of Peace and Glory but Jew and Gentile wise and foolish Noble and Ignoble Male and Female all people without exception are in transgression and by the line and measure of true judgement are shut out from the knowledge of life and salvation and of the Inhheritance of the Father in that state of enmity wherein every man in the world is fallen into and by one the offence came so death upon all men which reigns in the hearts of all and opposeth the life of the Creator and every one is imperfect in the sight of the Lord blind deaf dumb lame and without the sence of the Power that made him and brought him forth his eye sees not for it is covered with a vail of darkness neither doth the ear hear for it is stopped nor the Tongue speak nor the understanding pecceive any thing of the secrets of the Lord but all are separated and divided from the tree of life and are cast out from his presence by whom the world was made into blindness of heart and to the loathing of your selves and are more ignorant of your Maker then the Ox is of his owner or the Asse of his Masters Crib for you know not him that gives you life and all good things and that upholds you by the Word of his Power and this is his word unto you all You are all under the power of Satan and subject to his wil acting in iniquity and in evil bringing forth the fruits of death from that ground in which you now stand which is cursed and your Maker hath no pleasure in it for your fruits grieves his spirit that made you and vexes his soul which brought you forth for man is degenerated into the plant of a strange Vine and brings forth wild grapes and cursed fruits which is of a bitter taste unto the Lords soul who planted all things for himself who is the good Husband man but the whole earth is currupted and all mankind in it and man is not now acted nor led nor ruled in his heart by the Power that made him which gives him all good things but the power of Satan the Serpent the old Dragon which deceived from the beginning who is in the enmity against the life of the Creator he acts man and rules man to the abuse of all creatures and to his own destruction and every particular man is liable to the wrath and to the curse and to everlasting wo and misery and tormeut from his Maker in that state of disobedience whereinto all mankind is fallen not one upon the face of the whole earth excepted from transgression and so from misery nor none priviledged one above another unto happiness but as I have said Male and Female who was made in the Image of their Maker in the first Creation but now every man in the whole world is in the enmity against the life of the power that made him and is a child of wrath and shut up in blindness and unbelief under the Devils power which power abode not in the truth but is out of the truth and all mankind is left in this condition without help or helper or deliverance or means or way of salvation from himself or any other creature upon the face of the whole earth but is a Sheep without a Shepherd straying and wandering in the thoughts of his own heart after vanity and that wherein there is no profit to the Lord nor to his own soul but death and sorrow in all his wayes having forsaken the Fountain of living waters and gone a whoring after other Lovers and defiled himself and so brought destruction upon himself by his own doings who abounds in all evil lying theft murder envy strife

hear let him hear and read himself how he was planted with the image of his Maker but is now degenerated and turned aside from truth and righteousness from all good and from the wayes of peace out of the love and pleasure of his Maker and is now in all evil in deceit and unrighteousness and in the Wayes of sorrow and trouble and in the Makers displeasure and the Seed of Enmity ruleth in him and is suffered to be King in the Wrath of God and must be taken away in Gods displeasure and anger for that is not the annointed of God but is in rebellion against his Authority and breaks his Law and transgresses his commands and must be condemned into perdition for all cursed Fruits doth spring forth from that Seed to the vexing and grieving of the Lord God injustice oppression deceit hypocrisie falsheartedness lying murder whoredom theft envy bitterness perversness devouring one another covetousness idolatry and all manner of evil which gives an ill savor a corrupted taste and a loathsom sight in the presence of the Lord God who made all things Oh how abominable are all the wayes of man become-unto his Maker who hath nodelight in any of his ways nor pleasure in any of his Works Oh how is the Lord grieved and his soul from day to day oppressed and his long-suffering provoked by the ways and works of his creatures which he made for himself but they are become the Devils and subject to the power of the enmity all mans works are brought forth in that nature which is evil and out of that ground which is cursed his good works are not accepted and his evil deeds are condemned all which springs forth of one root of bitterness and enmity which is in the displeasure of the Creator Oh earth be awakened and all ye sons and daughters of Adam call to mind your state and condition and repent and return before destruction when no time of repentance can be found Hearken to instruction and let your ears be open to hear here you may all hear and understand the way to restoration to be restored and recovered out of this condition and out of this Enmity and from under this curse of misery and destruction for a way hath God prepared unto all mankind and is making it manifest unto the whole earth that the Sons and Daughters of Adam may again know their Maker and have fellowship with him and this way is but one which is ordained for all people upon the face of the earth of what Tribe or Nation soever and all that comes to the knowledge of the Creator must walk in this way which is called Christ Jesus who is the Son of the Creator the second Adam the Lord from Heaven the Power and VVisdom of the Creator and by him all things was made and without him was not any thing formed that was brought forth he is the Restostorer the Redeemer and the Deliverer for he connot be overcome of the evil but overcometh and treadeth down all the Powers of Darkness and death and the Devil which riseth against him in all the world and the Creator hath so loved mankind though he hath transgressed against him and grieved him yet he hath given his Son into the world into all Nations without respect of persons or people to be the Saviour of all that believe in him and receive him that they may come out of death and darkness from under the Devils power and may be translated and changed and renewed out of sin and death and ignorance and rebellion and out of the Kingdom of the Devil into truth and righteousness and into the kingdom of God And this Restorer and Saviour the Power and VVisdom of the Creator hath lightned all mankind every one that cometh into the world is lightned by him that every one may follow him and be guided by his power and wisdom and every one that doth receive him sin and iniquity and transgression is condemned and the seed of the Enmity is cast out by his power which is revealed against all unrighteousness and he subdues it and works it forth of the hearts of all men and so reconciles man again to his Maker to have fellowship with him and this Restorer the second Adam comes to be revealed within every man who executes true Judgement upon the Transgressor and bindeth under the rebellious Nature and death and condemnation passes upon the seed of Enmity and all its fruits upon the Devil and all his works upon him who is born of the flesh and all his wayes his joy is turned into mourning his pleasures into sorrow his glory and rejoycing into sadness of heart and the life which he has lived comes to be crucified the ways which he hath walked in comes to be hedged up and no more followed and his strength is turned into weakness and all his ways and pleasures fadeth and perisheth and the birth which is immortal comes to be brought forth which is not of this world but Heir of the Creators Inheritance who hath no glorying under the Sun nor no pleasure in the glory of this world which passeth away but lives unto God in all things and brings forth fruit unto the Father and is replanted into the living Vine and is leavened into a new lump and placed in the Garden of God all the old garments are put off old things are passed away the devil is cast out the blinde eye is opened the vail is taken away which hath been spread over all the deaf ear is unstopped man is again returned unto his Maker hears sees understands the things which are eternal which belongs to his peace the fear of God is set up in his heart and Gods secrets are revealed unto him he is become the glory of his Maker to praise him to glorifie him to magnifie him for evermore being restored again unto Gods Image guided with his power wisdom have received dominion and authority from his Maker to reign rule over all creatures to be exercised in all things to his glory by whom they were made he is not in bondage to any creature but in liberty over it the creatures are become his servants he servant to his Maker the earth yeilds its encrease unto man the curse is removed the blessing restored in the Covenant of Peace and righteousness where all creatures comes to be injoyned the covenant of Death and Hell being broken and disannulled where the curse stood standeth in all the world where the Restorer of the second Adam is not received who moveth by the measure of his power against the evil in the hearts of all men he knocketh at the door of the heart that he may be received and come in and dwell with the children of men whose delight is with the sons of men every one that openeth unto him hearkeneth to his cry who calleth by the Light moveth by his Power by him they receive life and peace and sulness from the

and that is felt and seen and tasted which was before the world was before any creature was made and the whole world is comprehended and mans state in his first creation is here known what it was and mans state in transgression is also known whiat it was and mans state restored again is also witnessed and the difference sperceived betwixt the first Adam which was overcome of the Devil though he was innocent and without sin and bore the likeness of his Maker and of the second Adam who cannot be overcome of the devil whom Satan hath nothing in who is the express image of the creator it self He that hath an ear to hear let him hear eye hath not seen ear hath not heard it hath not entered into the heart of man that which the Father hath revealed by his spirit things not lawfull to be uttered

and bear its condemnation and judgement upon all that which is contrary to it if ever you be restored to the blessed state and all anger and wrath and murder and lying and dissembling and whoredom and drunkenness and brutishness and beastliness and wantonness and backbiting and theft and all these things whatsoever must be condemned in you for who acts these things are Enemies to the Creator and is led by the Povver of Darkness which is the destroyer of you soul and body and the cause of the curse upon you and the ground of all sorrow and sufferings and afflictions and troubles which comes upon that part in you which is in transgression against the power of God for there is a birth born of the flesh which brings forth and goes after fleshly Wayes fleshly Joyes and Delights and Pleasures and fleshly Words and Vanities which murders the Just and blinds the eye and grieves your Maker and this birth must not inherit eternal life but all that ever doth inherit must be born again of another Seed and into another Nature where all the former things is passed away for all glories of this World will wither and all your joyes and pleasures will come to an end and you will be left miserable and wretched Therefore oh earth earth and all the children of Adam in the whole World be awakened be awakened and stirred up to consider of your state and condition for the Creator of all things is risen to gather his people up to himself and his voice soundeth abroad through the whole World if any hath an ear to hear let him hear terror and vengeance is against all the rebellious and to the judgement must all come before the Maker of all things to be judged by him according to the Power which moves in every man which is just and equal and witnesseth in equity which is a measure of the Power that made the World and all mankind unto it shall confess to its greatness to its justness and to its authority and to it must all the children of Adam bow and before it tremble and he that hath done good and lived in meekness and soberness in the truth and in justness in all that which is good not in any evil shal receive life peace rest and glory from the righteous Judge the Power by whom the World was made and he shall be excused from all condemnation but he that hath done evil and transgressed against the Power of God by which he is upholden who is degenerate and brings forth rudeness wildness and wickedness he shall receive tribulation and anguish and be deprived of happiness in this life and for ever and all who doth not own the measure of the Power of the Creator in you to be guided by it such doth neglect and reject the day of your Visitation and shuts your selves out from the glory of God and are unworthy of life and peace but all that owns this and are subject to it the Power of his Son who is the Maker of all things and doth follow it this will reconcile you and stay the enmity and bring you into unity with the Creator and this will lead you out of darkness out of death and evil and all the wayes thereof and will save you from all the effects thereof and you will be excused and justified in the sight of the Creator Therefore all people upon earth consider this is the day of your Visitation the Way of life and of death is set before you the Way unto peace and the way of trouble Prise the day of your Visitation This is to go abroad through all the world to all the Sons and Daughters of Adam it is a Warning from the Creator and Maker of all things by a friend unto all people and a lover of their souls HEre is the estate and condition of mankind described whereby in the sight of the World all may come to understand how all the sons daughhters of the first Adam are degenerated and subverted fallen from the state wherein man was created in the begining who was blessed of his Creator being brought forth in his own image and likeness to rulin dominion over all living creatures and to use them to the glory of the Creator and in that day man was not subject te the curse of misery or sorrow or vexation for that door wo not opened for the curse to enter but man was altogether blessed in the state wherein he was brought forth until by disobedience unto the power that made him another power gained dominion over him even the seed of Enmity placed it self in mans heart which prospered by mans rebellion and became a great Tree of bitterness bringing forth much Fruit in the hearts of all the children of Adam to the vexing grieving and dishonoring of the Spirit and Life of God the Creator even to the making void of his Purpose in creating man who created him for his glory but man disgraces him and dishonors him altogether and brings forth fruit not accepted but grievous and of a bitter tast and the Lords soul hath been pressed as a Cart with sheaves under mans transgressions who have backslided and revolted and turned aside for a thing of nought and have cast himself down from his excellency of Dominion into shame and dishonor daily provoking the long-suffring of the Lord and wearying his goodness and he hath been provoked to cut off the Works of his own hands which Satan hath entered into and defiled and made loathsom and abominable to the Maker for Satan hath made man barren of all good and fruitful in all evil and he is vvholly subverted into another end in all his Works then wherefore he was created he that reads let him understand the Creator of all things planted a Vineyard with the choicest Vinr his own image and he dressed the Vinyard and watered it and he came to look for Fruit in the season and behold the Vinyard was degenerated into strange Plants and brought forth onely wild Grapes and sower Grapes and crossed the expectation of the good Husbandman for the Fruit of the Vinyard was loathsom to him of an ill smel and of a bitter taste and his soul was not satisfied but grieved who laboured for himself that he might gather Fruits of the Plants which he had planted with the choicest Vine but behold his Vineyard all mankind was barren of good Fruit and no pleasant Fruit could the Husbandman reap to himself but the Vines were degenerated and all brought forth wild Grapes and sower Grapes which the good Husbandman hath no pleasure in but is vexed thereby for his Vinyard is barren of all good Fruit and the fruits of unrighteousness hath abounded whereby the good Husbandman is provoked to fury and indignation against the Vinyard which he had planted being become degenerate Plants and strange slips this is a Parable and describeth the condition of all mankind if any have ears to
