is taken away then there is no Condemnation but man is at unity with his Maker all Fear of Death and Torment is taken away for the Sting of Death is Sin and the Strength of Sin is the Law but thanks be to God who hath given us the victory through our Lord Iesus Christ over Sin Death Hell and the Grave together with all the dark Powers of the Earth That as we who are called Quakers do continue in the Light none can overcome us for Truth is stronger than all and the Lord our God will exalt his Truth over all Falshood and deceivable Shews Everlasting Praises eternal Glory and heavenly Renown to his pure holy and perfect Name for ever world without end Amen Amen There is none can forgive Sins but God only neither will he give his Honour to another though Christ said to his Apostles Whose Sins ye remit on Earth shall be remitted in Heaven he spake to them that were filled with his own eternal Spirit and were able to discern an innocent penitent Heart from a Hypocrite in the Light and Life of Righteousness and they did not say they could forgive any their Sins but they were sent to direct their Minds to God who was and is ready to forgive every one that cometh to him by Faith and throughly purged and cleansed from all Iniquity But as for those that have taken upon them to pardon Creatures for their Money or if they will receive their Correction and so deceive the poor People and so he or they that doth pardon and they that are pardoned of them do and will perish together eternally unless they repent of their Blasphemies and Sorceries Divinations Inchantments whereby the poor People are blinded and kept in ignorance and in all manner of Uncleanness and are corrupted for want of Knowledge My People perish for want of Knowledge saith God and the Kingdom is shut up from the Simple-hearted and the Key of Knowledge is hid away by them that will not enter in themselves nor suffer any to enter that would neither will they permit that any of the Lord 's Anointed that have received the Key of Knowledge should speak among the People but they say None ought to speak in the Name of Jesus but the divine Doctors that have received their Ordinations from them The People are blind indeed that do think the Spirit of the Lord can be limitted tyed confined or dispenced by any mortal Man No they that do make the people believe any such thing are absolutely the Messengers of Satan and not the Ministers of Christ they are out of his Doctrine such are Doctors of Divinity that dwell in the Divine Light of God and grow into his Divine Nature and do receive their Ministry by the Inspiration of his divine Spirit of Life and Power and do speak as they are moved and as the Spirit giveth them utterance in the Will of God they are no Men-pleasers nor Time-servers nor Will-worshippers for such cannot please God that seek to please man and they are Hypocrites that walk in the Imitations and Likenesses without the Life and Power observing this thing and observing the other Christ saith The Kingdom of Heaven cometh not with Observations but the Kingdom of God is within you speaking to the unbelieving Jews the Scribes and Pharisees Wise and Learned that were gone out from the Kingdom the Measure of God in them in which is Power to destroy the Works of the Devil in the Observations and Christ reproved them and said to them The Kingdom of Heaven consists in Righteousness Peace and Ioy in the holy Ghost Now that is the kingdom of Antichrist in which kingdom is the City that Cain built that is in the Observations and Babel that Nimrod the Heretick begun to build which is full of confused Noises and Bloodshed and all manner of Cruelty It is Babel that is built with blood but Sion is redeemed through judgment and her converts with righteousness O! blessed be the pure holy and powerful Lord God the Day of his Power according to his determinate Counsel is come that Antichrists Kingdom shall be destroyed and Babels Building must fall for the Mystery of Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth is made manifest by the bright Appearing of the Lord Jesus and the Children of Light are able to fathom and comprehend her and all her Lovers and to see the Foundation they stand on and the Ground they act from which is but as Water as John saith in his Revelations he saw Nations Waters Peoples Waters and Tongues Waters yea Men Waters Peoples and Nations all unstabled like the Waves of the Sea tossed to and fro with every Wind of Doctrine in the changable gone out from that which changeth not into the many Ways and have heaped to themselves Teachers having itching eares and cannot endure sound Doctrine but saith Preach unto us smooth things so they do preach Peace where the Lord proclaimeth War and bless themselves in that nature that is everlastingly shut out of the Kingdom of God and excluded from his living Presence But the Lord God of Life and Power will hath discovered the Spirit of the Barren woman that hath made all Nations drunken with the Wine of her Fornication and the Inhabitants of the Earth were surfeited and overcome with her Abomination She shall soon be cast into a Bed of Torment with all her Lovers where she shall have Torment without Ease Judgment without Mercy a full Cup without Mixture and the Dregs wrung out unto her and she shall be rewarded double for all her Iniqiuties the Lord will mar her beauty and stain her glory and strip off her costly robes and lay her honour in the dust and turn her songs into howling and her mirth into mourning and her musick into lamentation and she shall receive a Cup of trembling at the Lord's hand and all her glory pomp and pride shall perish as the untimely figs and fade as the flower of the field and wither as the grass upon the house top and the Smoak of her torment shall ascend in the sight of all people and it shall go forth in the audience of all Nations and she shall be a by-word and a scorn a taunt hissing and derision and off-scouring to as many as have heard of her Name and a day of lamentation shall be heard in the midst of her great Tribulation Wrath and Anguish upon every Soul that doth Evil because she repented not of her Uncleanness Fornication Cruelty Hardheartedness and Mercilesness and all her Uncharitableness and Blasphemy and Sorceries and the like Wickedness And this I give in my Testimony for the Lord in the living Word of Truth against Her and all her Lovers and every one that uphold Her as I have received it by the Revelation of the Son of God and not from or of any Flesh or Blood but have seen handled and tasted deeply of the Cup

Disciples indeed and did hearken to his Teaching did hear his Voice and follow him and a stranger they would not hear but Christ alone was their Head Guide Teacher Leader and they did believe in his Name and obeyed his Will For it is not every one that saith Lord Lord shall be saved but he that doth the Will of the Father is accepted And this is the Will of God that ye should believe in Him whom he hath sent and be sanctified for Christ is the same that ever he was to all that believe in his Name He is their King to rule and Prophet to teach and Priest to offer up the spiritual Sacrifices that are accepted with the Father who saith Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from iniquity for I have given him a Name above every name that at the Name of IESUS every knee shall bow He that doth depart from iniquity doth bow at the Name of Jesus but those that do bow their knees when they hear Jesus named and do not depart from iniquity do not bow at the Name of Jesus but are Hypocrites and do bow to the Beast and do not believe in Christ Jesus neither doth their faith stand in the power of God but their faith is vain Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ saith He that believes in the Lord Iesus in his heart and confesseth with his mouth that God hath raised him from the dead shall be saved for with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness and with the mouth Confession is made unto Salvation but Paul did not say that every one that confesseth that Christ was crucified at Jerusalem and God raised him up again should be saved No that would contradict the Scriptures for as I live saith the Lord if Israel were as the sands upon the Sea-shoar for multitude but a remnant shall be saved For they are not all Israel that are of Israel but he is an Israelite indeed in whose mouth there is no guile but every one that confesseth the same Christ near them which was crucified at Jerusalem For know ye not that Christ is in you unless you are Rebrobates And let them know that do not witness the Life of Christ raised within them that sin and wickedness is alive in them and where sin and wickedness liveth there Christ lieth crucified in the streets that are spiritually called Sodom and Egypt and it is the faith of the Drunkard Swearer Lyar Murderer Adulterer and covetous persons and them that work all manner of Abominations which shall never enter into the Kingdom of God as saith the Scriptures yet those will confess that Christ dyed at Jerusalem to their own condemnation because they do not walk in obedience to him John saith Try the spirits whether they be of God yea or nay Every one that confesseth that Christ is come in the flesh is born of God but he that denieth Christ to be come in the flesh is not born of God but is of Antichrist and denieth the Lord that bought him He that professeth Christ and doth not possess Christ neither is possest of Christ it is he that is Antichrist and is not of Christ but where Christ is manifested in the flesh he destroyes the work of the Devil and giveth power over Sin Death Hell and the Grave and over Antichrist and all the dark powers that do corrupt the Earth Where sin is destroyed death hath no power The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal Life And he that hath the Son hath Life and he that hath not the Son hath not Life but is in Death and the Wrath of God abideth upon him He is the best Christian that is most like Christ.
