Tables of Stone yet hee saith plainly the things that I write unto you are the Commandements of the Lord which doth prove and justifie as I said before the whole Doctrine of the New Testament is all the commanding power of God for to admonish his people what to follow what they should flye Againe in the fifteene Chapter of St. Iohn verse 14. Christ said yee are my friends if you doe those things whatsoever I have commanded you and Christ is the Mediatour of the New Testament Heb● 9. and Saint Paul saith God hath made us able Ministers of the New Testament 2. Cor. 3. chap. verse 6. not of the Letter but of the Spirit for the Letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life that is the Law killeth but the Gospell giveth life for Christ saith plainly John 5. ver 24. Verily verily I say unto you hee that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but hee is passing from death to life that is from the death and bondage of sinne and Satan by the vertue and Divine power of the word of God in the new Testament which is the life of grace Againe in the 13. chap. Rom. ver 6. for this thou shalt not commit Adultery thou shalt not kill thou shalt not steale thou shalt not beare false witnesse thou shalt not cover and if there be any other Commandements it is briefly comprehended in this saying namely thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy selfe that is God would have every man as hee would his neighbour should doe unto him so he should endeavour himselfe for to doe unto his neighbour love worketh no ill to his neighbour therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law of the Spirit of life for God is love and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and in him herein is our love made perfect that we have bo●dnesse in the day of Judgement because as he is so are we in this world generall of Iohn 4. so I praise God am I in this world for God doth not desire that any should perish but rather all should come to the knowledge of his Truth and be saved even so it is now with me for he that is joyned ●o the Lord is one Spirit and the Spirit of God drawes but one way that is unto Jesus Christ and to the obedience of his glorious Gospell Wherefore now by the helpe and power of God I will say with St. Paul as it is written in the 1 of Cor. 1. chap. v. 20. Where is the wise Where is the Disputer of this world I pray where now is the Divell and the Pope and all his carnall Ministers with all their dead Doctrines of darknesse which are alwayes teaching and preaching upon the Law and the Commandements and yet alas for pitty they are so blinded in their Doctrine and in their Judgement that they doe not discerne betwixt the Law and the Commandements which are unto death and condemnation from the Law and the Commandements which God hath ordained to everlasting life and justification for I have plainly proved that the Ministration of the Old Testament is the Law of Commandements contained in Ordinances which Christ hath abolished by his Passion on the Crosse which is unto death and condemnation but on the other side I have proved that Christ Jesus is the Law and Commandements in the New Testament which is unto everlasting life and justification the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all It is written in the 13 Revel ver 10. and I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven now is come Salvation and strength and the Kingdome of our God and the power of his Christ which is the powerfull preaching of his word in his Gospell and the accuser of the Brethren is cast downe which accused the Brethren before our God day and night the accuser of our Brethren plainly signifies for to be the Divell and all his carnall Ministers which by that authority that is given unto them they keepe the Children of God under the old Law and false Doctrine of carnall men which I have proved and shall prove to be the strength of sinne and death to condemnation but now I make no doubt but the Children of God which shall be reconciled unto Christ and to his glorious Gospell they will rise so powerfully against the Divell and all his carnall Ministers that their Hellish power will be broken quite downe and now that saying will be brought to ●asse that is written in the 1 Cor. 15. chap. v. 54. death shall be swallowed up into victory death shall be swallowed up of life Oh Death where is thy sting on Grave where is thy victory Sathan where is thy Victory the sting of death is sinne and the strength of sinne is the Law but thankes be unto God which hath given us the Victory through Jesus Christ our Lord so I thanke God he hath given me the Victory by the vertue and Divine power of his word in his Gospell which is by Jesus Christ our Lord for the ●●rength of sinne is the Law wherefore as by one man sinne entred into the world Ro● 5. v. 12. sinne entred into Adam and death by sinne and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned againe by the offence of one man judgement came upon all men to condemnation ver 18. Moreover the Law entred that the offence might abound but where sinne abounded grace did much more abound by one Jesus Christ ver 20. for he was delivered for our offences and was raised againe for our Justification therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 5. v. 1. wherefore then serveth the Law the Apostle saith plainly Gallath 3. chap. v. 19. It was added because of transgression till the seed should come till Christ should come wherefore St. Iohn saith plainly in his 1. chap. Behold the Lambe of God which taketh away the sinnes of the world which taketh away the sinnes of his people by his Passion on the Crosse for the strength of sinne is the Law and the Divell and all his carnall Ministers they are yet the strength of sinne for by that authority that is given to them they keepe the Children of God under unbeliefe for Christ Jesus in the end of the Law for Righteousnesse to every one that believeth Rom. 10. chap. ver 4. for God hath made him to be sinne for us who knew no sinne that we might be made the Righteousnesse of God in him and we in him and he in us by the vertue and Divine power of his word in his Gospell which liveth in us 2 Cor. chap. 5. ver 21. for the word of God is quick and powerfull and sharper then any two edged Sword Heb. 4. First it is quick in apprehension for to divide betwixt the Law and the Gospell Secondly it is powerfull for to draw the people from the bondage of Hell and corruption into the glorious liberty of the Children of God for God will finish the worke and cut it short in Righteousnesse because a short worke will the Lord make upon the Earth Rom. 9. chap. v. 28. for Christ must raigne but he hath put downe all Rule and all authority and power and Dominion under his feet that is all false Doctrine and false worships which belongeth to the Divell and the power of his Kingdome the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death and then commeth the end hereby I plainly understand when the Ministration of the blood of the New Testament which is the power of God everlasting life and justification shall overthrow the old Law and all false Doctrine of carnall men which I have plainly proved to be the strength of sinne and death to condemnation then there shall be an end of the outward man in the flesh for all the Children of God shall be gathered into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Sonne of God by the powerfull preaching of his word in the Doctrine of the New Testament which is the inward man in the Spirit therefore being saved and justified freely by grace we all have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord Now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepheard of the Sheepe through the blood of the everlasting Covenant Heb. 13. chap. He saith the great Shepheard of the Sheepe wherefore I acknowledge there is but one God and there must and shall be but one Religion one Shepheard and one Sheep-fold and this is the meanes which God hath ordained for to gather the Sheepe into one fold is by the powerfull preaching of his word in the Doctrine of the New Testament and we know that the Sonne of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his Sonne Jesus Christ this is the true God and eternall life unto whom be all praise honour glory power might Dominion and Majesty both now and evermore Amen I acknowledge that Davids Psalmes shall abide for ever those which are in proose for to be read for Divine service and those which are in meeter for the people to sing to the praise and glory of God Christian Brethren I have written a booke here in briefe upon many principall points of Scripture concerning the overthrow of the Divell and the false Church but by the helpe of God I have another booke which will come out very shortly to declare these things unto you more at large FINIS
