that scoffing and scorning and repsoaching and persecuting is the fruits of the Spirit of God But on the contrary it is the fruits of that spirit in you which lusteth to envy which is of the Envious one the enemy of all mankinde the Devill who was a lyar a murtherer from the beginning out of the truth And so it is he that moves some to murther now and some to accuse falsly for he is the accuser of the Brethron and he moves some to persecute and to hate and to cast into prisons now those that live in the truth and bear witnessetoit and he moves others to scoffe and scorn and speak all manner of evill of them that are good now in these dayes as he did of old He it was that led Cain to murther his Brother Abell who was a righteous man and it was he who moved Ishmaell to mock at Isaac who was the Son of promise and it was he the Devill that moved the Scribes and Pharisees to say that Christ had a Devill and that he cast out Devills through Belzebub c. and led them to persecute Christ and put him to death and Judas to betray him and the High Priests and the rest to spit upon him and smite him and Crown him with thornes and mock at him and to say haile King of the Jewes and to cry to have him crucified and Barrabas to be released who was a Robber Now here are some of the fruits of that spirit which is not of God nor of Christ Jesus but is against God and against Christ Jesus And the Scripture saith Be not ye mockers lest your bonds be made strong and the Scriptures speaks of some who mocked the Messengers of God and despised those whom he sent to warn them till his wrath broke out upon them to destroy them now they that did so were not mov'd led by the Spirit of God but by the evill spirit which is of the Devil Therefore now all people try and examine your selves and see what Spirit ye are of and what Spirit ye are led by by the fruites which ye bring forth For this I say and know and testifie that there is no people upon the face of the earth but they are either of the good Spirit or of the evill Spirit that is they are either led by the Spirit of God or by the Spirit of the Devill and this is that which doth nearly concern all people to know which of these they are led by which they may know by the fruits which they bring forth for that is it which doth and will make it manifest plainly even as a Tree doth manifest it selfe what it is whether good or evill by the fruit it brings forth for the fruit doth come from the sap and vertue or as I may say the spirit and life that is in the Tree which comes from the Root of it and ground in which it stands Now the Scripture saith A good Tree bringeth forth good fruit and again If the Root be holy so are the Branches then the fruit is good there is the good Tree but now if the root be rotten or corrupt which stands in the cursed ground then the branches will be rotten and corrupt the fruit will be evill or none at all and there is the corrupt Tree which is to be hewen down and cast into the fire and burned for it is good for nothing else And there is the plant which must be plucked up which Christ saith the Father hath not planted for its a degenerate plant Now people these Parables are true therefore learn to read them and understand them with the Light that Christ Jesus hath enlightned you withall who spake them forth unto the World who is the Gift of the Fathers love unto the World whom he hath sent a Light into the World that all men through the Light may beleeve which they that did beleeve in him who is the Light he said unto them it was given to know the Mistery of the Kingdoms of God but unto the World who did not then beleeve in him they were Parables and are so still to this day Now the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightned you withall is the Gift of God to you and the manifestation of his Spirit which is given to you and his grace which hath appeared unto you all which brings salvation therefore receive it and beleeve in it and be obedient to it and so you will come to know the Misteries of the Kingdome and to understand all the Parables which Christ spake to the World know the Key of David which opens and none shuts and shuts and noman opens otherwise ye will all remame in the dark World still which loves not the Light but doth choose darkness rather and they will remaine Parables to you still and ye will be shut up in the unbelief and in the darkness the Light will be your Condemnation for ever Therefore in true love I exhort you all to consider in time oh all ye People Professors and Prophane that ye may escape that eternall condemnation and Judgment which will come upon all the World of Unbeleevers and ungodly men who doe not beleeve in the Light of Christ Jesus who is come a Light into the World but slight it and hate it and say it is not sufficient to lead to Christ and to lead to salvation which reproves you for sin and for your evill deeds that ye might be turned from sin and from the power of Sathan to God otherwise your sins and your evill deeds which now ye love rather then the Light which reproves them will be sufficient to sinke ye downe into hell and into the pit of perdition I say now is the day of the Lords visitation of his grace and mercy and love to your souls that he would not have any of you to perish but all to come to the knowledge of his truth which would surely save you and set you free Every one therefore seriously to sit downe and consider where ye have been and what ye have been doing and what ye are doing and what ye have gotten and what ye doe possesse of all that which ye have made profession of and what assurance ye have of the health and welfare and salvarion of your soules and what certain Evidence and testimony ye have thereof in your selves and to your selves For that alone will stand you in stead and be your comfort and stay in time of trouble and in the houre of tempration and when ye come to lye upon your death-beds when all things else will fayle you and yeeld ye no comfort nor helpe nay your teachers whom ye have so long been following cannot helpe you nor comfort you if ye have not the witnesse in your selves and testimony of Gods Spirit to beare witnesse with your spirits that ye are the Children of God all your profession will be nothing
