a man that tells ye the truth he hath heard of God This did not Abraham Now Friends to be plain and short with you You are the Children of Abraham no farther and no longer than ye do the deeds of Abraham but his Children ye are whose works ye do And therefore said John to the Pharisees who came to his Baptism O Generation of Vipers who hath forewarned ye to flee from the wrath to come Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance and think not to say in your selves that we have Abraham to our Father for I say unto you God is able of these stones to raise up Children unto Abraham And now also the Axe is laid to the Root of the Tree therefore every Tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire I indeed baptize you with water unto Repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier then I whose shooes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire whose Fan is in his hand and he will throughly purge his floor and gather his Wheat into his Garner but he will burn up the Chaff with unquenchable fire So see Friends what fruit you bear and whose Works ye do Whose Tree ye are of for as is the Tree so is the fruit and as is the Fruit so is the Tree And if the Tree be evil the Fruit is so and if the Fruit be evil the Tree is so And every Tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire And see Friends whether ye are Chaff or Wheat For to this ye must come if ever it be well with you For he will thoroughly purge his Floor whose Fan is in his hand who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost and with Fire whose shooes John saith he was not worthy to bear and that he was mightier then he who came to baptize with water unto Repentance and he will gather his Wheat into the Garner and burn up the Chaff with unquenchable fire as hath been declared In Bowels of tender love I write these things as being moved of the Lord for his Seed's sake in you that ye be not deceived in a wrong apprehension of your state as in another when you are not as he is in your selves For if whilest we seek to be justified by Christ we our selves are found sinners saith Paul is therefore Christ the Minister of sin God forbid For if I build again the things that I have destroyed I make my self a Transgressor And if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new Creature Old things are passed away behold all things are become new for as he is so must be that which is in him For What fellowship hath Righteousness with Unrighteousness And what Communion hath Light with Darkness And what Concord hath Christ with Belial Or what part hath he that believeth with an Infidel And what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols For ye are the Temple of the living God said Paul to the Corinthians the Church there as God hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God and they shall be my people And he that doth righteousness saith John is righteous as he is righteous And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself as he is pure For as he is so are we in this World And whosoever sinneth hath neither seen him nor known him And the Temple of God is holy whose Temple ye are And if any man defile the Temple of God him shall God destroy And know ye not that ye are the Temples of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you saith Paul again to the same Church And he that is born of God doth not commit sin for his Seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God He that committeth sin is of the Devil for the Devil s●nneth from the beginning For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not Little Children let no man deceive you he that doth righteousness is righteous as he is righteous In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the Devil Whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth not his Brother saith John again in his first Epistle Now Friends these things I have written unto you as I have said that ye may not be deceived for while ye think to be justified by Christ and yet keep a liberty in some things to transgress and in some things to heed the Witness of God and believe not in him in that which witnesseth that that is He ye will dye in your sins Except ye believe that I am he said he to the Pharisees ye shall die in your sins For he became the Author of eternal salvation to as many as obey him even to as many as believe in his Name And this is his Name The true and faithful Witness Unto which answers that of him in the Conscience and by which he will judge all men and they shall be left without excuse For if ye were blind said he to the Pharisees ye should have no sin but now ye say We see therefore your sin remaineth And he was manifest to take away sin And for this purpose was the Son of God made manifest that he may destroy the works of the Devil And sin is the work of the Devil And he gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works Now how can these things be and Men abide in sin and that to their Death And how are they purged and purified from sin who abide in sin And how are they justified that are condemned for sin And how are their sins taken away whose sin remain And how are they in Christ Jesus who are not new Creatures And how are they as he is in this world who sin while they are in this world And how are they righteous even as he is righteous who do unrighteousness and all unrighteousness is sin And how do they purifie themselves as he is pure who abide in sin And how is he become the Author of Eternal Salvation to them who neither obey him nor believe in his Name And how are old things passed away when they are there still And how are all things become new when there is the old And how can that be in him which hath neither seen him nor known him And how can that have Eternal life which will not come to him Friends These things are deep and weighty and it behoves ye to consider whilst ye have time for the Door is near shutting and the Lord is at hand to render unto every man according to his work and as your works are so will be your reward So 't is high time to look
