life you know not the voice of the Prophets though they be read among you every Sabbath-day now Christ the end of them so coming not to the Prophets life you come not to Christ the life whom the Prophets testified of who said unto your Fathers Ye will not come to me that ye might have life who had that which testified of him so he now is witnessed that the Scripture testifies of who is the light and life which light is the life of man him by whom the world was made And your Fathers which had the Prophets words and Moses words being strangers from the life were them that said They saw but were them that were blinde saw not Christ the Just One that the Prophets shewed the coming of and Moses spoke of which you had your Law from who said Like to him God would raise up a Prophet him you should hear whom you did not hear but put him away from you who were out of the life of the Prophets and would not hear him that was the life of them and said As for this man you knew not whence he was and would not have him to rule over you Therefore consider you since your Fathers nor you never came to see this Prophet which Moses spoke of and the Prophets testified of whom your Fathers had the words but not come to the life which you never come to see until you come to the life of Moses and Abraham that saw his glory and that will let you see Christ the end of them and that which the Prophets spake of and wrote of and gave testimony of which all his Holy Apostles witnessed after his Resurrection him who was the Covenant that the Prophets and Moses gave Testimony of which you having the words but being found out of the life them persecuted But that now you may c●me to see in this mighty day of the Lord his gatherings together with his Covenant of light and his mighty power which is everlasting and changeth not where the prophesie is opened and things not declared or is known which gathers together in one up to God which leadeth out of the changeable things up to God who is a Spirit and the hour is now come wherein they worship him in spirit And the salvation of the Jews which is to the end of the earth is believed in and witnessed and the time of the Gentiles not believing in the Light is seen and their Conversation wherein was the excess wantonness lust wine reviling banquetting and abominable idolatry with which Light from them who believe in it are turned and come to the honest conversation the obtaining of the Savior Iesus Christ who hath abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel And the Gospel is preached to the Gentiles which is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth in the Light and him saith God I give for a Covenant a light to the Gentiles and when this Covenant of God was come Christ Iesus the everlasting covenant said he Believe in the Light I am come a Light into the world and he that abideth in the Light shall not abide in darkne And the Embassadors of this Covenant of light Life and Peace hazarded their lives among the Iews and Gentiles among all sorts of people which w●re ●ut of the life of the Law and they did preach to them to the Gentiles and do still for the Covenant of Light is everlasting to bring them to it but now many have the words declared from this Covenant of Light but yet are strangers to it and them that kill the ●o●d Iesus Christ and their own Prophets have persecuted the Apostles and pleased not God but were contrary to all men these were of your Fathers who had the words but were strangers to the life and these did forbid speaking to the Gentiles to whom the Covenant was promised they themselves being in the transgression out of the life of what they profest and out of the life of the Prophets who declared this Covenant but now the Riches of the glory of the mysterie of the Gentiles is known which God would make known which had been hid from ages and generations which is now made manifest to his Saints which is Christ in them the Hope of glory whom we preach warning every man that we present every man perfect in Christ Iesus the Light the everlasting covenant of God Now such Gentiles that walk after the vanity of their minde are strangers yet from the glory of Israel and the Common-wealth and the life of God and the covenant of Light but God is gathering with his covenant of Light up to himself both Iews and Gentiles in one I say his everlasting covenant not according to the old covenant which he gave to your Fathers when they were brought up out of the land of Egypt which did decay and wax old for this covenant never doth decay or wax old Glory glory to the Lord God of life for ever And so the Gentiles that are not yet come to own the light are without the true Hope without God in the world and so the promise being to the Seed he saith not unto Seeds as of many but of one which is thy Seed which is Christ And this I say Gal. 3. That the covenant that was confirmed before ●f God in Christ the Law which was 43● yeers after cannot disannul that i● should make the promise of none effect that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ as it s writen I will give him to be a light to whom he was preached after his Resurrection and this Light brings from giving offence to Jew and Gentile that believe but offends both that be against it Eph. 2 3 chap. And when the Gentiles which had not the Law did the thing contained in the Law which shewed the works of the Law written in their hearts that judged you Jews that had the Law and were transgressors of it which caused the Gentiles to blaspheme God and so your circumcision became uncircumcision and their uncircumcision became circumcision and judged you so the Light which is the life joynes Jews and Gentiles together in one up to one God who is Light who is Lord of all and rich to all with which Spirit they come to be baptized into one Body And here that you may come to know the Salvation that is sent to the Gentiles the everlasting covenant which among them is witnessed which God of old promised and Christ the Prophet sayes Go not in the way of the Gentiles but to the lost Sheep of the House of Israel Now when your Fathers had delivered him up to be crucified he sent them to preach to all Nations to the Jews and to the Gentiles and when the Jews did not hear your Fathers that had the words of the Prophets and Moses which spake of this Covenant they turned to the Gentiles
