of howling will be amongst your Fat Bulls of Bashan that all the tall Cedars and strong Oaks must be hewen down and all the loftiness of men must be laid low then shall the Lord alone be exalted The free grace of God is the Saints teacher which teacheth them to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts to live righteously and godly like God in this evil present world denying all the worlds lusts and worlds ways and worlds teachers and works of darkness which grace is turned into wantonnesse by those who follow the course of the world and the works of darkness drunkenness and uncleanness and such are they who cannot abide sound doctrine which heap up teachers having itching ears And all who turn this grace of God into wantonness deny it to teach them and they live in their worldly lusts and ungodlinesse Oh how doth the Land mourn because of Oaths Oaths are heard in the streets openly belched forth Oh how doth the pride and haughtiness of Men and Women abound scarce know how to walk in the streets Oh how doth oppression and tyranny rule that the cryes of the poor are entered into the Ear of the Lord of Sabboths Oh how doth drunkenness and drunkards walk abroad in the streets which devours the creatures The Lord is rising and surely he will be avenged of all his Adversaries he is come to sweep the Land of evil doers that the earth shall yield her increase and the Land enjoy her Sabbaths and he will sit as Judge and righteousnesse shall run down our streets and God alone be magnified and glorified to whom it alone belongs for ever Oh how doth all the creation groan under this bondage of corruption the Lord is powring out his spirit upon all flesh that his sons and daughters may prophesie up and down this great City and none shall make them afraid crying for justice crying for righteousness crying for equity for the cry of the great whore is come up before the Lord who is adulterated from the truth they who hate this light hate Christ which is the Husband and goes from him they who love the light have the Husband which is Christ but the judgement of the great Whore is come who made all Nations to drink of the Cup of her Fornication who must drink of the cup of the indignation of the wrath of God powred out without mixture who must have it filled double Rejoice rejoyce all ye Prophets and holy men of God triumph in glory sing aloud praises to the Lord God Almighty and omnipotent who is come to reign rejoyce over the world over the false Prophets over the Beast over the Whore which is adulterated from the light and tels al her lovers that the light is natural and so denies the husband Christ Iesus and lives in Fornication but all who loves the light and walks in the light witness Jesus Christ to be the Husband and this light to be spiritual Now she is convinced of her Adultery of her witchcraft of her sorcery and that which doth convince her is the light which Christ hath enlightned her with and this is her condemnation And now the judgement of the great Whore is come God will be avenged on her who has drunk the blood of all his Saints who dwelt in the light and loved the light All who hate this light they set up to be their light such as are called of men Masters have the chiefest places in the Assemblies stand making long Prayers lay heavy burthens upon the people which devour widows houses the widow has not a husband all are widows who are devoured of such but who loves the light which Christ hath enlightned them with it joynes them to Christ and then they witness him to be their Husband and such are not devoured of them And who hate this light hold up them who bear rule by their means which Ieremy who dwelt in the light was sent to cry out against And they that hate the light hold up them that cry for their gain from their quarter and never have enough which Isaiah who dwelt in the light was sent to cry out against And they that hate the light go after the error of Balaam and hold up such who love the wages of unrighteousnesse and all who hate this light have the spirit of error and they that dwell in the light know the spirit of error and what the spirit of error follows And all who hate this light hold up the hirelings that Micha cryed against and such as call for the Fleece and cloath themselves with the wooll that Ezeki●l cryed against who was in the light and full of the spirit Now where the same light is made manifest as was in the Prophets which saw Christ the light the Apostles in the same light which gave forth the Scripture all the Scripture is witnessed and here we are grounded upon the Prophets upon the Apostles and Christ the corner stone in the eternal light by which we see the Priests bear rule by their means now and seek for their gain from their quarter now and are greedy dumb dogs now nay worse than Balaam who loved the wages of unrighteousness but durst not take it but these sue men at the Law for it worse than Simon Magus who would have bought the spirit but these sell the letter this corrupt doctrine hath long reigned but now is made manifest and in this light we see the hirelings that Preach peace but he that puts not in their mouths they prepare war against him and by which light we see teachers who professe they are sent of Christ to be in the seat of the Scribes and Pharisees and are called of men Masters and have the chiefest places going in their long robes love salutation in the Markets have the uppermost seats at Feasts and under pretence making long Prayers devouring widows houses which Christ cryed woe against such we cannot own as sent of Christ nor hold up for if we should we should deny the Scriptures and hold up that which Christ forbids and if we should hold up them who rule by their means we should deny Ieremiah to be a true Prophet who cried against such and if we should hold up such as cry for gain from their quarter we should deny Isaiah who was sent to cry against such and if we should hold up such as go for gifts and rewards who love the wages of unrighteousness we should deny the Apostle who cryed against such for the same light is manifest praised be the Lord God by which they are seen and cannot be owned but must be denied as they were by the Prophets by Christ by the Hpostles and if we should hold up such that say Revelations are ceased we should deny the Son as they do for none knows the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son reveals him and so we deny those to know any thing of Christ or to be sent of Christ which deny the Son and deny revelations for the Apostle which was a Minister of God he was not a Minister of Christ till the Son was revealed in him and then he Preached him and Preached the Kingdom of God so all who deny Revelations deny the Son and the Father both and live in their imaginations of the letter And the Apostle exhorts the Saints to have the loins of their minds girded up and hope to the end for the grace that was to be brought to them at the revelation of Iesus Christ now he was a Minister and did exhort to wait for the revelation of Iesus Christ but now thou that denies revelations dost declare thy self openly to be no Minister and raceth thy sdlf out from among the Ministers of Christ and thou goest in the wayes of Cain thou art raced out from Abel for in thy heart lodgeth persecution and thy mouth utters it and thy hand acts it And you that speak a Divination of your own heart art raced out from them who speak from the mouth of the Lord for the Prophets of the Lord cryed out ever against such and so they do now and ye that seek for gain from your quarter are they that are raced out from the true Prophets of God they cryed out against you and the same light cryes out against you now otherwise the Prophets should be made of none effect for they spoke forth freely and so they do now that speak forth the same light the light is free which hath enlightned every one that coms into the world thou that hates it has learned thy condemnation it lets thee see all the evil deeds of thy heart And the Gospel is free to every creature not to be bought and sold for money Oh shameless men that tell people the letter is the word and buy and sell it for money which is but a declaration of the word and the grace is free which hath appeared to all men which is the Saints teacher and you need not have any teacher if you own the grace which shews your ungodliness and worldly lusts this grace will teach you to deny it and the light which hath enlightned every one that comes into the world there 's every one of your condemations in particular that hates it and there 's every one of your teachers that loves it which is but one and will open all the Figures and the Parables and Types to you and waiting in it it will guide you to God there is your teacher there is your condemnation every one of you shall eternally witness me to that which exerciseth your consciences do I speak for now the mighty day of the Lord is comming meet him by putting off your works of darknesse God that made the world and all things in it dwels not in Temples made with hands neither will be worshipped with mens inventions but Israel when he had forgotten his Maker builded Temples and Iudah builded fenced Cities but the Lord will send a fire to devour them and all your Songs shall be turned into Mourning the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Oh then all ye that professe see that you possesse and profess no more than you are G.

the light and will not bring his works to the light to be made manifest because his deeds are evil and the light will reprove him Thou that saith this light is natural thou art a blasphemer and thou that saith Christ doth not enlighten every one that comes into the world thou art a lyar and denier of Christs words and lyes waste the Scripture and thou that saith this light is natural thou puts the letter for the light which is natural true it is darknesse cannot comprehend this light but the light makes manifest darknesse and this is the condemnation of the world the light thou that hatest this light thou hast it Christ saith Swear not at all this light will say the same to thee in thee Christ saith He that lusteth after a Woman committeth adultery with her in his heart this light will tell thee the same bringing thy works to it and loving it Christ cryed woe against the Pharisee the hypocrite this light will let thee see the same Christ will say Go ye cursed workers of iniquity this light will say the same to thee in thee who art a worker of iniquity here shalt thou be condemned with the light and judged with the light out of thy own mouth this light will let thee see all thy hard speeches thy venomous thoughts thy evil intentions and thy covetous desires which is Idolatry and all dissembling and deceit to be works of darkness let thee see that all those things are evil there thou hast learned thy condemnation there is thy teacher that would teach thee to know God there is thy condemnation hating that light it will condemn thee from him Thou wilt say thou knowest in thy conscience that drunkenness is sinne here thou lovest darkness rather than the light that shewes it thee and lying and swearing and cursed speaking is sinne and yet thou followest it and pleasures there thou lovest darkness rather than the light that shews thee them because thy deeds are evil and there thou hast learned thy condemnation when Gods righteousness shall be revealed in flames of fire thou shalt witness I speak truth Thou knowest theft is sin and all unrighteousness God forbids thou wilt see something in thy conscience tells thee so if thou hearken to that it will exercise thy conscience and bring thee to repentance Christ saith I call sinners to repentance that in thee calls thee to repentance and if thou hearkenest to that thou hearkens to Christ and if thou hate that thou hates Christ and God then thou turns into the sorcery into all uncleanness and then God is not in thy thoughts and then thou art the disobedient one which disobeys the light which God hath enlightned thee with and there the wrath of God abides on thee and the Prince of the Ayre rules in thee as he doth in all the children of disobedience who hates this light Now do not think that I hold free-will here mans free-will speak of that which is contrary to mans will loving the light it will keep your wills from running and your wills from willing any thing and keeps it in subjection but thou that hates this light and makes a profession of God and Christ and saith the letter is the word and the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and Iohn is the Gospel thou knowest not Christ which is glad tidings the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world for the letter takes not away sin and thou that sayst thou had not come to repentance if thou had not known letter thou deniest Christ who comes to call sinners to repentance before letter was but it is he that calls to repentance sinners and not the letter but the letter is a declaration of the word the husks God is the word and it is a declaration of the light Christ is the light and a declaration of the Spirit but the spirit is not in it a declaration of power but the power is not in it the power and the life and the light was in them that spoke it forth which ever the world hated therefore waiting in the light which Christ hath enlightned you with that 's Scripture within you and that will open the Scriptures according as you grow in the light the Saints conditions as you are sanctified and as you are clensed and made free with the Son of God for it is he that makes free who are made free from sin from the world are made free by the Son of God and blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath raised him from the dead and by him raised up from the dead And to you that tempt God and say the Lord give us a sight of our sins Priests and People does not the light which Christ hath enlightned you with let you see your sin that lying and swearing cursed speaking theft and murder whoredom and covetousness and pride and lust and pleasures all these to be the works of the flesh and fruits of darkness this light within you lets you see it so you need not tempt God to give you a sight of your sins for ye know enough and waiting in the light power and strength wil be given to you for they that waite upon the Lord their strength shall be renewed and living in the light and walking up to God it will bring you to true hunger and thirst after righteousness that you may receive the blessing from God and give over tempting of God to give you a sight of your sins And to all ye that say God give us grace and we shall refrain from our sin there ye have got a tempting customary word for the free grace of God hath appeared to all men and this is the grace of God which shews thee ungodliness and worldly lusts Now thou that livest in ungodliness lying and swearing and theft end murther and drunkenness and filthy pleasures and lusting after the world thou art he that turns the free grace of God into wantonness and casts his law behind thy back and walkest despightfully against the spirit of grace here the Scripture is fulfilled upon thee oh vain man yet thou canst say God is merciful he is merciful and just and that shalt thou see when destruction comes upon thee for thou canst say God is merciful yet lives in thy wickedness passing on thy time without fear of God sporting thy self in thy wickedness Oh ye covetous proud Priests which deceives the Nations who mind earthly things whose God is your belly who glory in your shame enemies of the Cross of Christ your destruction is comming that ye shall not make a prey upon the people any longer the Lord hath spoken it Oh ye great men and rich men of the earth weep and howl for your misery is comming who heaps up treasures for the last day your gold and silver shall eat you up as the rust and the canker the fire is kindled the day of the Lord is appearing a day
