This is for all you the Inhabitants of Whitwell to consider who deny the perfect life of Christ to be brought forth in his people here upon earth and manifested in their mortal flesh by a ceasing from sin And to all others whom it may concern BE it known unto you all who name the name of Christ and would be accounted Christians this is it that Christ the Son of the living God and Saviour of mankind requireth of you all To depart from iniquity sin and all ungodliness and return to him who saves his people from their sins who is come to judge all flesh raising up his true and faithful witness in all consciences which shews unto every man upon the face of the whole earth what is sin iniquity and ungodliness to the end they may return to him and repent and their sin may be taken away and their iniquities blotted out and his perfect life brought forth which doth his will on earth as it is done in heaven who witness his kingdom come in great power glory which is not of this world therefore the world seeth it not Joh. 18.36 but is spiritual invisible to the carnal which stands in outward observations Lo here lo there where men are doing their own wills and that which is right in their own eyes there the will of God is not known by which sanctification is wrought and witnessed to perfection Now all the world from the head to the tayl Kings Princes Rulers Magistrates Idol-shepherds false prophets priests and people all being out from the pure light of Christ in their consciences are out of that which gives them the Light of the knowledge of the glorified in the face of Jesus Christ 2 Cor. 4. 6. and being in darkness sees not the treasure that is in the earthen vessels for darkness cannot comprehend the Light neither the excellency of the power of God which is able to save to the utmost all that come to to it which is Christ the power of God the wisdom of God the strength of God and the life of God Now all that are ignorant of this power of God by denying it refusing to be led and guided thereby can never see nor taste of the life immortal which dwells in the Light and in the Light is onely seen and revealed Now all the world being out of the Light are out of the sight of the perfect immortal life pleading for the life they see which is sinful and mortal and not the life of God for the pure life is hid from the adulterous eye and so it appeareth by Christs words speaking to the ungodly children of darkness who shall answer saying When saw we thee an hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee Matth. 25.44 So here all may see that they that live in sin and plead for it term of life are all blind not one that could see the perfect life of the Son of God and brethren of Christ but on the contrary beat persecute imprison and despitefully used them as the same generation doth at this day being all from the Light denying it are all blind beating and imprisoning the sons of God as evil-doers For when the Lord Jesus himself appeared in flesh upon the earth not one of that generation could see him to be a perfect man but the learned with their learning Scribes Pharisees Rulers Priests and People all blind saying he was a sinner and had a divel and deceived the people but were all lyers and false accusers This was the generation of evil-doers which justified themselves saying that God was their father whiles they were doing the divels work as the same generation doth at this day who owns his name but denys his nature calling themselves Christians but persecute his life where it is made manifest to destroy the works of the divel Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge who eat up my people as they eat bread Psal 14.4 Nay they being from the light of Christ that which gives the true knowledge of God how can they know him or his Son or his servants No man knoweth the Son but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him Mat. 11.27 here you may plainly see there is no true knowledge of God but by the revelation of the Son The Father by the call of his grace which appeareth to all men bringeth salvation to all that are obedient to his heavenly call by the revelation of his Son in them and the Son being revealed within leadeth to the Father which by his grace revealed him This grace is a spiritual free-gift that is come upon all men though all receive it not nor believe it for many turn from it into wantonness that is their condemnation not that it is not come but because men love it not Where that which brings salvation is not received nor known how can salvation be witnessed therefore saith the world it is not to be here but hereafter putting the day of salvation far off which the Lord hath brought nigh Here the day of the Son of man is not known but those that hear his voice know his day and in his Light see it and rejoice in God their Saviour the Gentiles light and Israel's glory which is spiritual Mark the Gentiles Light is Israels glory which every true Israelite witnesseth to be spiritual and are not all those blind Priests and false Prophets that turn people from from the free-gift of God Israels spiritual glory the Gentiles Light the Son of God and Saviour of the world Now all that are turned from the spiritual gift the Light of the Son of God which shines in the conscience to give the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ are in darkness consulting with flesh and blood the imaginations of their own hearts which can never reveal the Son of God within Mat. 16 17. for he was first revealed to Peter within before he could confess him without and John was in the spirit when he saw those great mysterie in the Revelations and it was the Spirit that spake to the Churches and they that have a spiritual ear open do hear what the Spirit saith and he onely hath an ear to hear that is turned to the manifestation of the Spirit which is given to him to profit withal and the manifestation is given to every man They have ears but they hear not eyes but they see not and a measure or manifestation of the Spirit but they profit not therefore are they unprofitable servants which are to be cast into utter darkness because they loved it and hated the light and the manifestation of the Spirit which thewed them the deeds of darkness and so chusing darkness rather then light it justly became their portion Therefore all you professors who are pleading with the darkness of the world for darkness and
