peace and prosperity of you all as men throughout all the Kingdoms of this world And now in this the Lord hath opened my heart and I shal make mention of his Name in righteousness shewing unto all people of the large and Universal love of God unto all the sons of men in general That as all have followed the first Adam into sin and Transgression against God their Creator and so are become degenerated into a strange spirit and a contrary nature against God even so in like manner Christ Jesus the Son of God the second Adam the Lord from heaven who is a quickening spirit he is appeared and is appearing to lead all his followers back again out of the sin out of the transgression and out of the state of degeneration and to give unto every one a right spirit and make them partakers of

is the Light and the Truth and the Way to the Father shall not abide in darkness and captive under sin and transgression and in the state of degeneration but all that through faith and obedience comes

Goverment must every soul be subject and this is that which the Lord God Everlasting requires of every one to be made Conformable in faithful obedience unto the Rule and goverment of Christ's spirit and light and life manifested in measure in every man for behold this is the day wherein he is and is to be proclaimed Lord of Lords and King of Kings and under his Rule and goverment spiritually must all the Kings and Princes and great Potentates of the earth be made subject and his Kingdom shall be over all the Kingdoms of this world and he is come and coming to Rule and to Reign in his Kingdom

Scepter so that by him Kings must Reign and Princes decree Justice and he is to be head to have the preheminence in all things and this is his priveledge perogative given unto him of the father and he wil not give it unto another wherefore it was said in a certain place Bring those mine enemies that would not that I should Reign over them and slay them before me And now certainly this is the day of God's Controversie with his Enemies and the seed of the Serpent the power of darkness who is called the Divel is to be cast out for in the night of darkness and day of Apostasie he has been exalted
