The strength and power of God manifested in the creatures weakness against the hard judgment and judgments of cruel and unreasonable minded men in and of the World and Worlds spirit and worldly censures whose rashness and hastinesse therein against the innocent God hath found out a way to overcome and subject even patience and endurance of and under sufferance in the quiet and meek Life and Spirit of the Lamb of the Fathers Glory the fury and rage of man that turneth to the praise and glory of God and returns the evill and mischief thereof on their own heads as the remainder of what more of the rage and fury of mans cruelty than makes for such honour and praise of God and his creatures good he doth 〈◊〉 And The Epistle or Preface to the Reader signifieth That the Glory of God was and is discov … 〈…〉 revealed in the world in the suffering spirit and principle in the Sons life that magnifieth the power and wisdome that sent and brought him hither to that same end that as he was and is heir of his Fathers sufferance and we have been made partakers thereof with him so also we may be heirs and partakers with him together to Glory for evermore even with that glory the Son of God was glorified in with the Father of Spirits before the World began in the enlargement of the Seed and Spirit of God And that as Christ our life hath or doth appear in the World and Worlds eye and sight of esteem so we might appear with him in glory Though it is the end of such his sufferance in spirit that manifesteth and revealeth the glory thereof in flesh in that until his sufferance in spirit begins to draw to a period in the flesh of his Creatures and some end to be put thereto the end of the Law nor of transgression for which cause it was added is not nor cannot come up in the world that the ordainer of all may be praised in his Creature in the beginning and end of all holy determination in the counsel of that will and workings of the mighty power that exalteth the wisdome of the worker and contriver of all purposes that therein stand nor can it be seen in the world to what end the Just was sent and came hither a sufferer for and in the Creature in the state of the unjust but as the witnesse of such end of his sufferance comes and appears in such the Creature in the Fathers Glory The Mysterie of which hath been and is hid from the World and Worlds sence in our lifes sufferance and also joy and rejoycing in that Glory that hath been hid with Christ in God until the salvation of God sprung up from the morning of the everlasting day of God and glad-tydings to the poor and imprisoned captive of hope to arise from the dawning of its brightnesse in the earth and world and deliverance to the Seed and Spirit of God and soul and life of his Creature that there hath been a wall of separation between in the night of obscurity and darknesse that hath overtaken and overspread the world whereby that glory hath been vailed and darkned broke forth in the power of an endlesse life to the dispersing and driving back the thick cloud of the worldly mists and foggs of ignorance and blindness of mind wherein the understanding of the Creature hath been stupefied under grosse thick darkness and unity of spirit between God and his Creature kept from to the astonishment of many beholders of that Glory in the appearance of Christ in his Life and Spirit of truth that worketh the work his own work that doth praise him to see what breaketh forth of the work of power and wisdome that brakes down the wall and brings up the life and spirit of reconciliation in and to the creature in the mind and will of his Maker and Creator whereby that which hath been done in secret may be manifest openly and what was spoken in the ear preached on the house top and declared abroad in the world c. though if our Gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost in whom the God of this world hath blinded their eyes least the light of the glorious Gospel which in them that perish is a mysterie unrevealed shine in their dark hearts and God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness shine in there to give the knowledge of God in the face of Jesus and wherein the refreshments from the presence of God that hath been often ready to break forth in the brightnesse of the Majesty of such Glory in which is endlesse praises to the highest hath been hindred and clouded in the soul by the straitning limiting spirit and power of the world such gross thick darkness and blindness of mind wherein they have been groaping for the walls as the blind at Noon-dayes in their imaginary Faith and Doctrines of and concerning God and Christ and Heaven c. in the black night of Apostacy and back-sliding from God and his Spirit of truth in the heart into and after the errour of the wicked in the falsity of a mis-led judgment in their giving forth their meanings and private interpretations on Scriptures of truth that were spoken in and according to the motions and risings up of that Spirit Life that had in honour and respect for the Lords sake the thing or things contended for For as to The strength and power of God experienced in the Creatures weaknesse Introduct IT alwayes hath been and is manifested in the suffering life of the Fathers will and wisdome of good pleasure wherein the weakness and emptinesse and nothingness of the creature doth exalt and magnifie the praise and glory of God his Maker and Creator and is that in which God doth delight to glory as what makes for his own honour in the worthiness of that one that debaseth himself to the dust for the creatures good to the bringing him back into unity of spirit with that one in which is a good and glory that is everlasting and a rejoycing therein that is endless in God over all blessed for evermore that into the sense hereof the creature may come and in that may dwell and sit down and count what is before them and also what is behind that empties the creature of all and brings out of all conceitedness and exaltation and heighth of spirit to see the nothingness and emptiness and worthlessness of the creature in himself in a state he is fallen in and under and into the nature of which he is degenerated and with the spirit and life of which he hath adulterated that God may be all in all unto and in the creature and his honour and glory over all exalted for ever and ever that is thus worthy where that glory only can be and is prized and esteemed that is endless and without which sence he worth and glory value thereof remains unknown or
