and the Word was God Iohn 1. And so we do know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding to know him which is true and we are in him that is true that is in his Son Jesus Christ this is the true God and Eternal Life Ephes 2.16 That Christ might reconcile both unto God in one body by the Blood his Cross and slay Enmity thereby and so making of twain one new man and so making peace And so people ought to walk in love as Christ hath loved us and given himself for us to be an Offering and a Sacrifice a sweet smelling savour to God and so not another Gospel do we preach but the Gospel which is the Power of God unto Salvation to them that believe Rom. 1.16 and so through Christ Jesus we come to God out of old Adam and in Christ we please God and Christ is our Mediator who makes peace between us and God and he is the new Covenant the Covenant of Light to the Gentiles and in this Covenant of Light all is to walk which brings them out of the old Covenant which vanisheth away and through which Covenant we have peace with God in the Covenant of Light and Covenant of Life and so Christ is our Rock who is the Life which all must be built upon and no other Foundation can any man lay then what is laid already Christ Jesus who is the Foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and for this purpose was the Son of God made manifest to destroy the Devil and his works who led man from God and so he is the Way to God to walk in and as every one hath received Christ the Life they must walk in him and he is worthy of all honour and glory who is the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World the Lamb must have the victory Christ Jesus the Emanuel God with us the First begotten full of Grace and Truth whom all the Angels must worship and as the Law came by Moses so Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ and God will judge the World in Righteousness by the man Christ Jesus according to the Gospel which is the Power of God who would have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth who desires not the death of a Sinner but rather that he should repent for this the Lord binds with an oath As I live saith the Lord I desire not the death of a Sinner but rather that he would repent and live and often cries Why will ye die And whereas it s said the Quakers hold forth Free-will we answer no for God worketh in us both to will and to do according to his good pleasure and we do know it is the Devil that worketh in people to will and to do that which dishonoureth God Hebr. 9.14 Christ offered himself through the Eternal Spirit without spot to God and by his Blood purges our Consciences from dead works to serve the Living God and must not people come to feel his Blood in their Consciences and so come to eat his Flesh and drink his Blood and except they eat his Flesh and drink his Blood they have no Life in him and now God is writing his Law in peoples hearts and putting it into their minds by which all shall come to know the Lord from the greatest to the least and shall not need to say to his Brother know the Lord for the Knowledge of the Lord shall cover the Earth as waters cover the Sea and so Christ is come to cleanse from sin and to purge from sin and to make an end of sin and to destroy the Devil and his works who bruises the Serpents head and abolishes death and brings in Life and Immortality to light through his Power the Gospel So not that people should name Christs Name and live in iniquity and live in unrighteousness and sin and ungodliness but they should live to Christ Jesus and walk in him for did Christ die for Sinners that they should live in sin nay but that they should be cleansed from sin and their Garments made white in the Blood of the Lamb and so come to be heirs of Christ and Salvation and to sit down in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus and not sit down in the old Adam And true belief is it not to believe in the true Light as Christ commands and so to become Children of the Light and of the Day and not children of Darkness and so he that believes is born of God and he that is born of God overcomes the World for greater is he that is in them then he that is in the World so the greater overcomes the less and so he that believes passeth from Death to Life and he that hates his Brother abideth in Death and what kind of belief is that and he that envies his Brother is a Manslayer and no Manslayer hath Eternal Life abiding in him and therefore Christ commands you Christians should love one another and love Enemies which was a mark they were Disciples of Christ and he that saith he loveth God which he never saw and hateth his brother which he hath seen what saith the Scriptures of such a one And he that saith he knoweth God and Christ and keeps not his Commandments is a Lyar 1 Iohn 2.4 but he that keeps his Word in him is the Love of God perfect which he that doth not keep the Word the Love of God is not perfect in him and so we know that Christ by one offering hath for ever perfected them that are Sanctified and so all people to mind the Grace of God which brings Salvation that hath appeared to all men which teaches the Saints and establishes their hearts and seasons their words and teaches them to live godly and soberly in this evil present World and to deny ungodliness unrighteousness and and the lusts of the World and the Spirit of God is given to every man to profit withal and the Lord gave his good Spirit Neh. 9. to people yet they rebelled against it and so they quenched the Spirit and vext it and grieved it by yeelding to the evil spirit and its work so his Servants they are whom they do obey and Christ is the true Light who enlightens every man that comes into the World one loves the Light and the other hates it and he hates it because his deeds are evil and will not come to it because it reproves him and this is the condemnation that Light is come into the World and men love Darkness more then the Light because their deeds be evil and they that love the Light bring their deeds to it that with the Light they may see that their deeds be wrought in God and so as people walks in the Light as he is in the Light they have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Christ clenseth them from all sin and so with the Light they see the Blood
