put on immortality that whereas before thou wast alive to five and dead to one now thou shalt be dead to five and alive to one that lovely pure one who beholds nothing but purity wheresoever it goeth and whatsoever it doth all is sweet and lovely let it be under what title soever thou art risen from title to act from act to power from power to his name and that only one name pure and undefiled so that now thou art of purer eys than to behold any iniquity so that Devil is God Hell is Heaven Sin Holiness Damnation Salvation this and only this is the first Resurrection Yet here is no lodging no safe inhabiting in that thou art yet on the borders of Aegypt only with Moses on Mount Hermon only verbally not practically so short of the second Resurrection which is the life and power what thou saw for till thou be delivered of that thou wast risen to thou canst not say Death where is thy sting Grave where is thy victory Wonder not at me for without Act without Birth no powerful deliverance not only the Talkers but the Doers not only your Spirit but your Body must be a living and acceptable Sacrifice therefore till acted that so called Sin thou art not delivered from the power of sin but ready upon all Alarums to tremble and fear the reproach of thy body Therefore my beloved ones that supposeth your service is perfect Freedom by having onely light into anothers life know this that if light without life thy service will be perfect bondage and therefore it is when a creature is drawn forth to act in anothers life insteed of tryumphing over sin he will be conquered in sin so that I say till flesh be made Spirit and Spirit flesh so not two but one thou art in perfect bondage for without vail I declare that whosoever doth attempt to act from flesh in flesh to flesh hath is and will commit Adultry but to bring this to a period for my part till I acted that so called sin I could not predominate over sin so that now whatsoever I act is not in relation to the Title to the Flesh but that Eternity in me So that with me all Creatures are but one creature and this in my form the Representative of the whole Creation So that see what I can act what I will all is but one most sweet and lovely Therefore my deer ones consider that without act no life without life no perfection and without perfection no eternal peace and freedom indeed in power which is the everlasting Majesty ruling conquering and damning all into its self without end for ever The ensuing Queries What that God is so often recorded in Scripture and by the Creature beleeved First Whether he admit of a Corporeal Sustance to wit flesh blood and bones and if so as by some of the Creation is beleeved then the Question will be Where his habitation hath been is and will be to the end of the world I say if God admit of a corporal substance whether then any other but a local plaee caen contain that substance or that he can be omnipresent in all places and with all Creatures at one time in that substance c Secondly Whether God admit of any other but a Spirit so invisible and if so as by others of his Creation beleeved the Query is then where its Region hath been is and will be I say if God admit of no Corporal substance form nor image but only a spirit whether then any other but an invisible habitation an infinite boundlesse region can contain an invisible infinite boundlesse Spirit Thirdly If God be a Spirit then whether a Spirit can be confined from any thing and if confined then must we observe these two things 1. What he is confined from or confined in 2. What it is that doth confine God Fourthly If God be a Spirit and cannot be confined then whether God be not infinite and omni-present in all places and in all things as well Hell as Heaven Devil as Angel Sin as Holinesse Darknesse as Light Fifthly If God be infinite in all things then whether all things are not finite in God That if God be subject to nothing then whether all things be not subjected to God so as to do nothing without God nor against God but in the performance of the will of God as well Esau as Jacob Pharoah as Moses Pilat as Christ yea Sin Devil or any other instrument whatsoever Sixtly Whether a creature living in God so as to know God as he is known of God be not infinite with and in God and so all things finite unto him as unto God subject unto him as unto God whether Devil Hell Sin Death or any other thing whatsoever Seventhly If God be in all things then in all men the wicked as the godly wherein then is the state of the wicked worse then the godly yea if God be in both why have they not both one title but one wicked another godly Eighthly If God be in all things then in all Creatures that hath life whatsoever so that wherein is man better than these or hath any preheminence above these yet if he have by whom is it given and the reason of so being given Ninthly If God be in all the wicked as the godly why is not the wicked saved with the godly but if not saved what is that in the wicked more then the godly that is damned with the place where and the nature of that damnation Tenthly If God be in all why are not all things one in God and if they be all comprehended as one in God how commeth it they are two distinct from God yea so titled from the Scripture now if Scripture were indicted by God the Question wil be why it speaks not of things as they are in God but relates two distinct titles two opposites the one for God the other against God and whether that Scripture so contradictory be not the original or instrumental cause by which the Creation becomes blinded divided yea destroyed in worshiping that for God which in the Original is no God I say the Query will be whether the contradiction in the Scripture be not the contradictions in the Creation and that so long as there is this Scripture there will be Religions not Religious forms not Spirit war not Peace envy not Love the teachings of men not the teaching of God yea in conclusion there will be gods and not God no not that God that is all in all Alpha and Omega the God yesterday and to day and for ever FINIS
