So Men and Women come to be cleansed ●rom the Defilements of Sin by the power of ● true and living Faith not that Faith which ●s so common in Christendom a traditional ●nd historical Faith What if all Men and Women in England should say They have ●he Faith of Christ within What if all Chri●endom should profess the Light within them ●nd yet live contrary to that Faith and cru●ifie the Lord Jesus Christ afresh with their Covetousness Strife Envy Fighting and ●uch things It is not every Profession of Faith ●f Christ within us or of Christ without us ●at is a true Faith The Enemy of our Souls ●ay creep in at that Door under a Profession of Christ within or the Light within wh● there is neither a true Belief of Christ withi● nor of Christ without many have professe to be taught by the Light within and th● Spirit of Christ within It is not a traditional Faith nor an hist●rical Faith of Christ without or of Chr● within that I preach but that evangelical ●●ving and living Faith by which we come be dead with Christ and buried with hi● and risen with him according to the expre● Testimony of Scripture Rom. 6.3 4. Kn● you not that so many of us as were baptized 〈◊〉 Jesus Christ were baptized into Death th●●●fore we are buried with him by Baptism in Death that like as Christ was raised up fro● the Dead by the glory of the Father even so w● also should walk in newness of Life It is no● meant there of outward Baptism but of more excellent Baptism and you are not risen with Christ before Faith no but throug● the Faith of the operation of God that Powe● that raised Christ from the Dead 1 Col. 2.12 And if you feel not a measure of that Powe● which raised Christ from the Dead to bege● Faith in your Hearts it is impossible yo● should be dead with Christ or risen wit● him Why shall they profess Faith in Christ tha● have it not otherwise than the World hat● it If they have not a true and living Faith which is another kind of Faith than the Worl● hath or Christendom generally hath for the are Strangers to true Faith This true living ●aving Faith is as necessary to be preached at ●his Day as ever it was As to the manner of ●t I do not say It is needful to stand up from Morning to Evening to preach to People in a ●are historical way to convince them that the ●ternal Son of God came in that prepared Bo●● and by his Death was a Sacrifice for our ●edemption and Salvation that is not the ●●ing I labour in I never Laboured a quar●er of an hour much less have I stood up in ● Meeting from Morning to Evening to con●ince People barely from the Letter that C●rist is come But I will tell you what I have laboured for I preach Christ as I am moved and as the Lord is pleased to open my Mouth to speak and I hope he hath opened the Ears and Hearts of People to 〈◊〉 I have laboured to prove That the 〈…〉 of that Faith in Christendom is a false Fa●●● not a Faith of the operation of God I have demonstrated That the Faith that abounds in Christendom is an unprofitable dead Faith their Works do prove it so It is an absurd Doctrin to say That divine Revelation and divine Inspiration is ceased the true Faith comes by divine Revelation inward Revelation and Inspiration and also by outward Preaching and hearing instrumentally in God's ordinary way of working It is the Spirit of God that reveals the Mystery of Faith in our Hearts It s well known how I have laboured and what Books I have written for this Testimony that none have this true sincere Faith but they that have it by i●ward divine Revelation the Mystery of i● must be by Inspiration revealed within them I have laboured with all my Heart to pro● this but a preparatory Work goes before han● John Baptist was sent to prepare the way 〈◊〉 the Lord therefore it is no new Testimon● but it is the ancient Testimony of our Frien● that I have long since heard preached It is th● which answers John's Ministry that is a M●nistration within Before Christ's Ministr●tion the Gospel Ministration there is the M●nistration of the Law within and of Joh● Baptist within and Mount Sinai within Thus I have pressed and preached O my Friends before you come to th● spiritual Sion you must pass by the spiritua● Sinai You must not take up your Rest i● Mount Sinai nor in the Wilderness but yo● must follow the Pillar of a Cloud by Day an● a Pillar of Fire by Night that God leads hi● People by Isa 4.5 6. And the Lord wi● create upon every Dwelling-place of Mount Zion and upon her Assemblies a Cloud and Smoa● by Day and the shining of a flaming Fire by Night for upon all the Glory shall be a Defence And there shall be a Tabernacle for a Shadow in the day-time from the Heat and for a place of Refuge and for a Covert from Storm and from Rain Here is a Cloud not without Christ's refreshing Rain it will shower down heavenly Rain and divine Influences from Heaven upon us and this Cloud shall likewise be as a Fire in a cold Night to warm us with heavenly Heat and Influence So we are not to ●it down at Mount Sinai but to pass through the several Ministrations of both the Law and the Gospel It is not my present Testimony to demonstrate to People these great important and weighty Truths That Christ is God That he is the true Messiah and Saviour of the World and That he is already come God manifest in Flesh I should think it almost needless to demonstrate these things to any but such as are ignorant of them as Jews and Heathens to demonstrate that Christ is outwardly come but it is a most necessary and profitable Labour and God hath blessed it with Success to all that labour in the Power of the Lord to demonstrate to People that it is a living Faith in the crucified Jesus that is absolutely necessary to Salvation to believe in him as he lived in the Body died and rose again and is ascended and is gone to Heaven in the Body The Heavens and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain him as to his Godhead which fills Heaven and Earth but with respect to his Body he is only in Heaven The Heavens have received his Body until the appointed time of the restitution of all things when he shall come again to judge the World then all Nations shall see him and shall stand before the Son of Man God hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the World by the Man Christ Jesus not by the Light within only tho' he shall judge Men here by the Light within and also hereafter All that are born of Women shall stand before Christ Jesus at his Tribunal the Saints shall behold him
