A Tender Visitation of Love To both the UNIVERSITIES OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE AND To the Jnns of Court and Chancery Even to the Seed of God in you All for you to mind and consider ere it be too late From the movings of the Lord in your Friend George Bishop And I said Hear I pray you O Heads of Jacob And ye Princes of the House of Israel is it not for you to know Judgement LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson and are to be sold at his Shop at the Black-spread Eagle and Windmill in Martins Le Grand and also by Richard Moon Book-Seller in Wine-Street in Bristol 1660. A Tender Visitation of Love to Both the Universities Oxford and Cambridg and to the Inns of Court and Chancerie c. FRIENDS THere is something in you all that 's Eternal which nothing but God can satisfie which came from God In the Prosperity or Suffering of which stands your Welfare or undoing for Ever for as much as God is with or against you as well or ill ye deal with it And Gods being with or against you is your blessedness or Everlasting Destruction Now this Eternal thing in you all is the Soul God breathed into man the breath of Life and man became a living Soul after the Image of God created he him in Righteousnesse and true Holinesse which being in Death by reason of Corruption for By one man sin entered into the World and Death by Sin And so Death passed over all men for that all have sinned and by Death being held under or in Captivity by him who hath the Power of Death it is made subject unto Bondage for being Servants of sin ye are free from Righteousnesse And to whom ye yield your selves Servants to obey his Servants ye are to whom ye obey Whether of sin unto Death or of Obedience unto Life And the wages of sin is Death but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord and being held under or made subject to Bondage it is separate from God without Christ an Alien from the Common-wealth of Israel A stranger from the Covenant of promise havving no hope And without God in the World And this is the State of all men by Nature and this is your state whilst ye know not that your Redeemer liveth and that your Redeemer lives ye know not whilst ye feel not Him living in you And him ye feel not living in you whilst ye are in Death and in Death ye are whilst Death hath power over you And Death hath power over you whilst ye are not delivered from the fear of Death and from the fear of Death ye are not delivered whilst ye are subject to Bondage for forasmuch as the Children are partakers of Flesh and Blood he also himself likewise took part of the same that through Death he might destroy him that had the power of Death that is the Devil and deliver them who through fear of Death were all their life time subject unto Bondage and subject unto Bondage ye are whilst sin hath dominion over you for of whom a man is overcome of the same is he brought in Bondage and sin ha … dominion over you whilst ye obey it in the lusts thereof and sin having dominion over you ye are under the Law And whilst ye are under the Law ye are under the curse And being under the curse ye are dying so most miserable for such shall be turned into Hell and out of Hell there 's no Redemption For Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels will the King say to them on his left hand when he shall come in his Glory and all his Holy Angels with him and shall sit unpo the Throne of his Glory and these shall go into everlasting punishment but the Righteous into Life Eternal Therefore it concerns you whilst ye have time to mind and consider ere it be too late the things that appertain to your Eternal peace That so it may be well with that in every one of you in the welfare of which doth stand your Blessednesse and Prosperity for ever Now unto this there is no other way than Christ the Light the Light of the World the true Light that lighteh every man that cometh into the World in whom was life and the life was the Light of men Who was in the beginning with God who was God by whom all things were made and without whom was not any thing made that was made The Word the Word of God The Word nigh you in your mouth and in your heart which Moses spake of saying This Commandment viz. the Book of the Law which I command thee this Day It is not hidden from thee nor is it far off It is not in Heaven that thou shouldst say who shall go up for us into Heaven and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it Neither is it beyond the Sea that thou shouldest say who shall go over the Sea and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it But the Word is very nigh unto thee in thy mouth and in thy heart that thou mayest do it And which Paul Preached when he said the Righteousnesse which is of Faith speaketh on this wise say not in thine heart who shall ascend into Heaven that is to bring Christ down from above or who shall descend into the deep That is to bring up Christ again from the dead but what saith it The Word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart that is the Word of Faith which we Preach Whose Commission to the Gentiles was to open their eyes and to turn them from darknesse to Light and from the Power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgivenesse of sins and inheritance among them that are Sanctified by Faith which is in me And for this was he sent by him who is the Son of God who met him in the way the Saviour of the Soul the Covenant of Light to the Gentiles and the glory of his People of Israel And this Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates and the Light of this Christ it is in you which shews you evil the compasse and end of all your actions which searcheth your heart tryeth your reigns the candle of the Lord that searcheth the inward parts of the belly which shines in darknesse but the darknesse comprehends it not And the Dominion of this Christ it is in you the Kingdom of God which reproves you for sin the Comforter when he is come he shall reprove the World of sin Now the Lord is that Spirit who is the Power of God the Gospel of Salvation the Everlasting Gospel the Law the Rule the measure of all things That 's over all that 's above all that comprehends all The Supream the Higher Power The Head of Principalities and Powers and of every man and of the Church which is his Body the fulnesse of
