in_o this_o last_o age_n be_v the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v to_o finish_v the_o mystery_n of_o god_n accord_v to_o that_o say_n of_o john_n rev._n 10._o and_o 7._o where_o it_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o two_o seed_n be_v these_o two_o key_n which_o do_v open_a or_o unlock_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n that_o be_v they_o know_v what_o the_o commission_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n be_v and_o how_o far_o a_o man_n be_v free_v from_o the_o visible_a worship_n of_o his_o commission_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o gate_n of_o

up_o in_o their_o time_n which_o be_v then_o in_o great_a force_n so_o long_o as_o that_o commission_n stand_v but_o when_o god_n do_v give_v a_o new_a commission_n the_o old_a be_v make_v void_a as_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o visible_a worship_n which_o be_v set_v up_o by_o a_o commission_n therefore_o you_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n commission_n do_v whole_o thrust_v out_o the_o visible_a

which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o be_v so_o likewise_o it_o be_v w●th_v this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spiri●_n do_v hold_v forth_o no_o visible_a nor_o external_a outward_a worship_n as_o the_o other_o two_o commission_n do_v but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o outward_a nor_o visible_a worship_n to_o be_v use_v in_o it_o but_o that_o invisible_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n only_o which_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n which_o spiritual_a worship_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o right_a devil_n upon_o which_o the_o

only_o and_o those_o which_o come_v to_o understand_v and_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o commission_n much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v in_o this_o thing_n but_o it_o will_v be_v too_o

in_o his_o creation_n then_o all_o the_o elect_a angel_n of_o glory_n for_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n in_o this_o may_v be_v liken_v to_o a_o wise_a earthly_a prince_n that_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o royal_a pleasure_n ex●lteth_v that_o subject_n to_o the_o high_a dignity_n which_o he_o have_v secret_o decree_v to_o the_o high_a disgrace_n 6_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o glorious_a creator_n who_o foreknow_v that_o his_o prerogative_n royal_a will_v compel_v he_o to_o create_v this_o angelical_a reprobate_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o divine_a justice_n therefore_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o most_o glorious_a power_n unto_o his_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n his_o wisdom_n see_v it_o most_o fit_a to_o endue_v he_o with_o more_o pierce_a rational_a wisdom_n and_o brightness_n of_o person_n than_o all_o his_o angelical_a companion_n because_o he_o be_v decree_v to_o the_o great_a shame_n and_o pain_n as_o aforesaid_a 7_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o because_o the_o elect_a angel_n shall_v admire_v their_o creator_n wisdom_n and_o power_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o outcast_a condition_n of_o the_o high_a create_a glory_n and_o be_v fill_v with_o new_a declaration_n of_o honour_n praise_n and_o glory_n unto_o the_o divine_a majesty_n for_o his_o free_a elect_a love_n towards_o they_o through_o which_o they_o be_v insure_v eternal_o to_o reign_v in_o their_o create_a purity_n 8_o again_o from_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n i_o positive_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o reprobate_a angel_n create_v at_o the_o first_o which_o be_v full_o clear_v in_o this_o book_n 9_o moreover_o you_o spiritual_a one_o may_v understand_v that_o if_o the_o most_o merciful_a creator_n can_v possible_o have_v know_v any_o other_o way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o divine_a excellent_a 〈◊〉_d unto_o man_n and_o angel_n i_o say_v you_o may_v be_v confident_a he_o will_v never_o have_v create_v any_o thing_n on_o purpose_n for_o eternal_a suffering_n 10_o furthermore_o can_v you_o possible_o imagine_v or_o think_v that_o the_o most_o gracious_a and_o wise_a creator_n will_v ever_o have_v suffer_v the_o nature_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o become_v rebellious_a against_o himself_o for_o the_o occasion_v of_o such_o marvellous_a transaction_n in_o this_o world_n and_o suffering_n both_o of_o god_n angel_n and_o man_n if_o he_o can_v have_v possess_v his_o in●●nite_a glory_n in_o the_o create_v of_o every_o thing_n unto_o eternal_a pleasure_n 11_o again_o if_o dust_n and_o water_n be_v eternal_a substance_n distinct_a from_o the_o creator_n it_o be_v dark_a and_o dead_a matter_n it_o can_v not_o produce_v any_o kind_n of_o life_n at_o all_o of_o itself_o but_o be_v bring_v forth_o into_o life_n by_o another_o 12_o wherefore_o it_o may_v be_v query_v by_o some_o what_o be_v that_o which_o enter_v into_o dust_n and_o bring_v forth_o angelical_a body_n to_o live_v in_o the_o creator_n presence_n be_v it_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o spiritual_a life_n or_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n himself_o 13_o unto_o this_o curious_a quere_z from_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n i_o answer_v that_o neither_o the_o spirit_n of_o angel_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n be_v form_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n but_o the_o soul_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n only_o 14_o but_o they_o be_v create_v of_o variety_n of_o spirit_n to_o one_o another_o and_o to_o the_o creator_n also_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o pure_o create_v and_o in_o a_o sweet_a harmony_n with_o each_o other_o and_o their_o creator_n also_o even_o so_o long_o and_o no_o long_o than_o they_o abide_v in_o their_o create_a purity_n 15_o again_o by_o inspiration_n from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o affirm_v that_o the_o unsearchable_a wisdom_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n be_v secret_o hide_v in_o the_o infinite_a power_n of_o his_o word_n speak_v only_o 16_o so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o foreknowledge_n of_o his_o own_o mighty_a power_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a ground_n that_o move_v he_o to_o produce_v and_o live_a creature_n in_o his_o presence_n 17_o wherefore_o before_o any_o creature_n be_v form_v by_o he_o if_o he_o have_v not_o perfect_o know_v that_o of_o those_o aforesaid_a element_n of_o dust_n or_o water_n by_o his_o word_n speak_v only_o he_o can_v create_v as_o many_o several_a spirit_n with_o body_n suitable_a to_o their_o nature_n as_o he_o see_v good_a and_o yet_o whole_o retain_v the_o divine_a nature_n of_o his_o spirit_n to_o himself_o he_o will_v never_o have_v form_v any_o creature_n to_o have_v live_v in_o his_o sight_n 18_o because_o then_o you_o know_v there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o distinction_n of_o nature_n or_o name_n between_o the_o creature_n themselves_o and_o the_o creator_n nor_o none_o of_o the_o variety_n of_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n ever_o see_v or_o know_v by_o the_o creature_n 19_o for_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v understand_v that_o the_o creator_n royal_a will_n or_o pleasure_n be_v that_o glorious_a wheel_n that_o move_v he_o to_o form_v any_o creature_n at_o all_o 20_o therefore_o you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o create_v the_o spirit_n of_o angel_n and_o man_n to_o be_v both_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n or_o neither_o of_o they_o to_o be_v of_o his_o divine_a nature_n because_o as_o aforesaid_a the_o variety_n of_o his_o wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n will_v have_v be_v all_o lose_a for_o want_v of_o distinction_n 21_o moreover_o if_o angel_n and_o man_n have_v be_v both_o of_o god_n divine_a nature_n in_o their_o creation_n then_o in_o stead_n of_o their_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v transmute_v into_o a_o high_a or_o low_a condition_n at_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n of_o the_o creator_n will_v they_o not_o rather_o have_v be_v unchangeable_a creator_n then_o changeable_a creature_n 22_o therefore_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o holy_a creator_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v all_o that_o might_n impede_fw-la his_o divine_a purpose_n he_o create_v the_o body_n of_o angel_n spiritual_a and_o their_o nature_n rational_a and_o he_o make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o man_n adam_n natural_a and_o his_o soul_n spiritual_a 23_o for_o if_o their_o spirit_n and_o body_n have_v be_v both_o of_o the_o divine_a nature_n than_o it_o will_v have_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o change_n of_o sin_n or_o evil_n or_o consent_v to_o evil_a in_o they_o no_o more_o than_o the_o creator_n himself_o 24_o where_o then_o have_v be_v all_o the_o wonderful_a transaction_n of_o his_o glorious_a majesty_n or_o what_o will_v have_v be_v form_v but_o creator_n only_a in_o stead_n of_o creature_n as_o aforesaid_a 25_o again_o because_o of_o our_o weak_a comprehension_n in_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v speak_v something_o by_o way_n of_o imagination_n only_o which_o be_v as_o follow_v 26_o suppose_v the_o most_o high_a god_n shall_v have_v create_v both_o angel_n and_o man_n all_o glorious_a like_o himself_o and_o eternal_o so_o to_o remain_v yet_o those_o create_a being_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v the_o divine_a essence_n of_o his_o godhead_n spirit_n but_o only_o a_o create_a light_n of_o sensible_a life_n of_o divine_a joy_n proceed_v from_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o virtue_n of_o word_n speak_v through_o his_o heavenly_a mouth_n into_o those_o element_n beforesaid_a 27_o because_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o uncreated_a essence_n or_o godhead_n spirit_n of_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n be_v utter_o uncapable_a to_o be_v convey_v into_o a_o finite_a create_v be_v for_o infiniteness_n be_v only_o capable_a of_o its_o own_o glorious_a centre_n 28_o so_o that_o you_o that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a may_v understand_v that_o after_o the_o angel_n be_v form_v into_o live_a body_n the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o those_o create_a being_n be_v become_v distinct_a in_o their_o essence_n for_o everlasting_a 29_o that_o the_o angel_n by_o apparent_a sight_n of_o their_o creator_n face_n may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v but_o creature_n and_o subject_a to_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n of_o he_o that_o make_v they_o 30_o moreover_o from_o the_o true_a light_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n i_o affirm_v that_o the_o elect_a angel_n of_o eternal_a glory_n have_v no_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o continue_v in_o their_o create_a purity_n until_o the_o lord_n have_v discover_v the_o

the_o lord_n of_o glory_n command_v his_o apostle_n to_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o and_o take_v they_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_a they_o say_v of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 9_o my_o belove_a spiritual_a friend_n if_o god_n only_o wise_a have_v say_v that_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n consist_v of_o little_a child_n or_o innocent_a childlike_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v not_o those_o man_n more_o like_a unto_o curse_a serpent_n than_o bless_a saint_n which_o contrary_a unto_o all_o spiritual_a literal_a or_o rational_a truth_n impudent_o affirm_v that_o little_a child_n may_v be_v eternal_o damn_v by_o original_a sin_n 10_o if_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n that_o die_v in_o their_o childhood_n shall_v find_v mercy_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a some_o man_n may_v say_v unto_o i_o shall_v the_o save_v child_n of_o cain_n and_o adam_n be_v of_o two_o contrary_a nature_n appear_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n or_o measure_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n vengeance_n upon_o ungodly_a man_n 11_o from_o the_o light_n of_o life_n eternal_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o nature_n in_o this_o life_n so_o shall_v they_o differ_v in_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o their_o glory_n in_o that_o life_n to_o come_v 12_o the_o save_v child_n of_o the_o angelical_a serpent_n will_v enter_v into_o that_o rational_a glory_n out_o of_o which_o their_o reprobate_a father_n be_v cast_v 13_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o adam_n shall_v enter_v into_o that_o glory_n from_o which_o he_o fall_v in_o a_o more_o transcendent_a godlike_a condition_n to_o all_o eternity_n 14_o but_o not_o in_o a_o paradissical_a separate_a

according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o holy_a writ_n 15_o thus_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o holy_a god_n of_o all_o spiritual_a and_o natural_a order_n restore_v his_o spiritual_a and_o rational_a image_n into_o their_o first_o create_v condition_n upon_o a_o more_o firm_a foundation_n of_o possess_v everlasting_a life_n and_o glory_n together_o purchase_v at_o a_o dear_a rate_n from_o his_o divine_a

he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o that_o say_n in_o the_o 20._o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n whereof_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o overseer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o that_o his_o own_o blood_n 16_o again_o if_o you_o look_v in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n with_o a_o spiritual_a eye_n you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o god_n eternal_a election_n or_o rejection_n of_o man_n run_v in_o a_o line_n of_o personal_a understanding_n and_o not_o in_o a_o line_n of_o innocent_a child_n or_o natural_a fool_n the_o word_n be_v these_o and_o in_o process_n of_o time_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o cain_n bring_v a_o oblation_n unto_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o abel_n also_o himself_o bring_v of_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o his_o sheep_n and_o of_o the_o fat_a of_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v respect_n unto_o abel_n and_o to_o his_o offering_n but_o unto_o cain_n and_o his_o offering_n he_o have_v no_o regard_n 17_o you_o that_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o power_n of_o all_o inward_a filthiness_n i_o beseech_v you_o what_o occasion_v the_o respection_n or_o disrespection_n between_o cain_n and_o abel_n in_o the_o pure_a eye_n of_o the_o creator_n 18_o sure_o not_o their_o offering_n for_o you_o know_v that_o god_n need_v no_o man_n person_n for_o his_o sacrifice_n sake_n in_o the_o least_o but_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n only_o 19_o yet_o you_o know_v that_o cain_n have_v as_o much_o wisdom_n from_o his_o own_o reason_n to_o present_v a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n as_o abel_n 20_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o creator_n eternal_a free_a love_n unto_o abel_n which_o cause_v both_o his_o person_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o find_v such_o sweet_a acceptation_n with_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o divine_a love_n of_o god_n in_o abel_n may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o fatness_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n 21_o in_o that_o you_o may_v know_v he_o be_v make_v to_o offer_v up_o himself_o a_o live_a sacrifice_n of_o invisible_a and_o visible_a obedience_n unto_o the_o creator_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o be_v choose_v to_o life_n eternal_a 22_o yet_o you_o may_v know_v it_o be_v not_o any_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n worship_n righteousness_n or_o desire_v in_o man_n or_o angel_n that_o can_v possible_o move_v the_o divine_a majesty_n to_o accept_v of_o it_o or_o his_o person_n in_o the_o least_o but_o it_o be_v his_o eternal_a free_a love_n in_o his_o own_o season_n which_o operate_v in_o he_o all_o heavenly_a mindedness_n or_o love_n to_o god_n or_o man_n 23_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o original_a cause_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o fearful_a darkness_n and_o fiery_a shame_n in_o cain_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o nonelection_n of_o his_o person_n 24_o this_o be_v his_o condition_n when_o he_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o invisible_a seal_n of_o reject_v both_o his_o person_n and_o sacrifice_n from_o those_o word_n wherefore_o cain_n be_v exceed_v wrath_n and_o his_o countenance_n fall_v down_o 25_o my_o belove_a

from_o a_o sensibleness_n of_o his_o outcast_a condition_n and_o because_o he_o can_v not_o come_v at_o the_o creator_n himself_o therefore_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o his_o favourite_n even_o innocent_a abel_n 27_o the_o scripture_n give_v you_o the_o reason_n thereof_o because_o his_o own_o work_n be_v evil_a and_o his_o brother_n good_a 28_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v
