been talking of Faith and Hope and Sanctification and Redemption and Adoption and Justification by Christ and by his Righteousnesse while you are in the Unrighteousness and in the Sin and Transgression who would have Christs righteousnesse to be a Cloake and Cover for your sins and would be justified by Christ in your sins who came to save his peopie from sin and to destroy sin and to destroy the Devill who is the Author of it and he came to take away all Cloaks and covers for sin who saith himselfe If I had not come and spokon to you ye had not had sin but now have ye no Cloake for your sin so he it is that hath spoken to you once and againe but ye have not regarded and he doth speak to you and reproves you for sin all of you secretly in your consciences and for your evill deeds by the Light of his Spirit with which he hath enlightened you all who saith Except ye beleeve that I am he ye shall dye in your sins and then there will be no covering for you for your shame and nakedness will be seene though ye may call to the Rocks and Mountaines to fall upon you and cover you But the woe is unto all who are covered with a covering and not of my Spirit saith the Lord and woe will be for ever to all such who want the covering of Gods Spirit at the last day Therefore all people turne in your minds to the Light of Christ Jesuswithin you which doth reprove you for sin and never consents to the doing of any unrighteous thing and beleeve in the Light and be obedient to it for obedience to it is life Then will ye come to put off that and be uncovered of that which ye have been covered with which the woe is too brings the trouble and sorrow and anguish upon your soules and which will bring shame and confusion and woe and torment for ever except it be cast off and separated from And who come to the Light of Christ and beleeve in it and love it which is the Law of the Spirit of life with it they come to be quickened and made alive unto God and made dead unto sin and so come to be covered with the covering which the woe is not too for the Spirit is Life because of Righteousnesse but the body is dead unto sin As the Apostle said How can we who are dead unto sin live any longer therein Mark They who were quickned which Paul writ to who were once dead in sins and trespasses children of wrath as well as others these were made alive unto God but they were first dead unto sin and so could not live any longer therein except they would goe about to build again that which before they had destroyed and so make themselves transgres7s ors 2 Gal. 18. Now this the Saints said and witnessed who were made alive unto God and quickned by his Spirit dwelling in them and made free from the Law of Sin and Death but now this is contrary to all the Apostate Christians the Priests and Professors in this Age who say That they must live in Sin and have the Body of Sin as long as they be here and none can be perfect here nor be made free from sin but they sin in thought word and deed dayly and say they had need to pray for the forgivenesse of the sins of their Prayers and the best of their holy Duties is full of sin and the most righteous doth sin c. and so teach people These I say never yet did know sin destroyed nor never yet come out of the transgression nor our of the fallen Adams state nor we yet re-quickned but are still dead in their sins and trespasses and therefore they are not like to shew people the way out of sin or how to be freed from sin for they themselves are still in the Death the dead not raised yet and therefore hath all their preaching and praying been in vaine both to themselves and others and their faith vain also and they are yet in their sins even as the Apostle said If the dead arise not then is our Preaching vaine and your faith is vain also and ye are still in your sins Now you I say who long have been called Christians and you who have professed your selves to be Ministers of Christ and yet are walking according to the Course of this World not redeemed out of the World nor separated from the World but dead in sins and trespasses unquickned yet unmade alive unto God in the Death yet where all the World lyes who are in the wickednesse your conditions are far unlike to the Saints conditions who spoke sorth the Scriptures ye who are not yet come from among the dark world who sit in the darknesse and in the shadow of Death and love darkness rather than Light because their deeds are evill And will not these Teachers and Professors abide with them in the darknesse And doth it not appear that they are resolved upon it who say they must have sin and cannot be freed from it here but as long as they live here they must carny a body of sin about with them and a body of Death and so they walk in the shadow of it and sit in the shadow of Death and are not yet come to the Light nor will they come to the Light that they might see a way out of it but love their evill deeds rather than the Light so there they are sate down in the darknesse and remaine in the Death untill this day and will not arise and hearken to the Voyce of Christ Jesus whom God hath given for a Covenant for a Light unto the Gentiles to open the blind eyes and to unstop the deafe eares and to bring the Prisoners oat of Prison and them that sit in darknesse out of the Prison house and out of the House of bondage where they are all in Egypt still in the Land of darknesse and it hath been and is still the worke of the hireling Priests to cry peace to the people there and when any of the Servants of the Lord have been sent by him to call people our of the darknesse to come to the Light of Christ which he hath enlightned them withall that by it they might be led out of spirituall Sodome and Egypt where our Lord Jesus Christ hath been and is crucified afresh and put to open shame I say the Priests and Teachers they have stood up to oppose and have been like Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses and would have hindred the people from going our of Egypt even to keep people in the darknesse and by the flesh-pors of Egypt where they may eat and drink with the drunken and satissie their lusts and yet notwithstanding tell the people that they are the Children of God and Christians and that none can be free from sin and the best have their sailings and
