Also, a visitation to all you that have long had the Scriptures; but found out of the life of them that gave them forth, that are stumbling about the words, fighting and contending about them, imprisoning and persecuting them that witness the life that gave them fotth [sic]. / Given forth by G.F.

to the people upon it and spirit to them that walk therein I the Lord have called thee in Righteousness and will hold thy hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles Now this Covenant to the people and this light to the Gentiles that the Prophet speak of the Gentiles witness now the light and the people witness this Covenant of God and Gods promise fulfilled And them that were Ministes of this Covenant were sent to turn the Gentiles from darkness to the light and chose Iews and those Gentiles that did believe in the Light did believe the everlasting Covenant and did receive the everlasting Covenant and the glory of Israel and this brought in the Gentiles to light which broke down the Partition-wall between the Iew and the Gentile and of twain made one new man which covenant of Light the Prophet saw before he was come and when he was come your fathers owned him not neither received though by signs and wonders and miracles confirmed he his Ministry that he came from God yet said they blasphemously which had the Prophets words and Moses words but out of the life of both That by Beelzebub the Prince of the devils he cast them out And here they having the words and not the life when the thing was come that the words spoke of they that had the words knew him not and the Gentiles their mindes being alienated from the life of God and strangers from the Covenant of promise and Common-wealth of Israel to them the light was promised and that to it the Gentiles should come which many did and do now injoy and know the unsearchable Riches that are hid in God Christ Iesus And the Iews and the Gentiles receiving the Light the Covenant of promise they come to be baptized with the spirit into the one body and that Covenant of Light which brings in the Gentiles le ts see the end of the first covenant that doth decay and le ts see the everlasting covenant Christ Iesus wh● came to fulfil the Law and not to break it heaven and earth shall pass away but not one tittle of the Law shall pass away Psal 19.7 the Law is perfect converting the soul and brings it from under that which was against it and so at this covenant of God the Light of the Gentiles the Iews stumble which covenant the Prophets prophesied of and your fathers in those dayes stood against and so here is the saying fulfilled Ps 69.22 The builders rejected the corner stone and as David said Their Table became a snare a trap and a stumbling-block and a recompence unto them And hath it not been so I say then have they stumbled that they should fall Rom. 11.11 God forbid but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles for to provoke them to jealousie take notice of that Now if the fall of them be the Riches of the world Vers 12. and the diminishing of them mark the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness I speak to you Gentiles So here who are come into the life of Moses and the Prophets do witness that which Moses and the Prophets said should come to pass That Christ should suffer and rise from the dead and shew light to the people and to the Gentiles in which Light Iews and Gentiles are one I will make an everlasting covenant with you saith the Lord Isa 54.55 56. even the sure mercies of David behold I will give him for a witness to the people a leader and commander to the people Behold thou shalt call a Nation that knew thee not and nations that knew thee not shall run unto thee Now this everlasting covenant is witnessed to which Nations run and the people witness the leader which you that had the covenant which did decay stood against and do injoy the covenant of peace and authority which you do not that have not the life which I will not remove saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee and every one that keeps from polluting takes hold of this covenant As for me this is my covenant with them saith the Lord my Spirit that is in thee c. So the everlasting Covenant is witnessed which doth not decay with which is seen that which doth decay I will make an everlasting covenant with them and their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and saith the Lord My glory shall be declared among the Gentiles and I will take of them for Priests and Levites saith the Lord And behold saith the Lord the days come that I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Iudah not according to the covenant which I made with their Fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the Land of Egypt which covenant they brake though I was an husband to them saith the Lord but this shall be the covenant which I will make with the House of Israel After those dayes I will put my law into their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying Know the Lord for they shall all know me from the greatest to the least saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more Mind this you that have this first covenant which was given to your fathers when they came out of the Land of Egypt but saith the Lord I will make a new covenant not according to the covenant I made with your fathers which was to decay for there you had a Law in Tables of Stone writ but here in this covenant you shall have the Law written in your hearts with which you shall come to know the Lord and need not say Know the Lord And here is the Covenant which is everlasting Now the covenant which was made with your fathers while that was standing you were to be taught the Lord but this covenant being witnessed and received the Law-Writer in your hearts you shall no more every man teach his brother and his neighbor saying Know the Lord for all shall know him from the greatest to the least And now thousands do witness this second covenant this everlasting covenant not according to that covenant given to your Fathers in Tables of Stone but the everlasting covenant w●i●ten in the heart where they know the Lord And these witness the second cove●a●t where the iniquities are forgiven Ier. 31. and the sins and transgressions the Lord will remember no more If these Ordinances depart from before me saith the Lord then shall the seed of Israel cease from being a Nation before me for ever and I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me for ever for the good of them and of

their children after them I will make an everlasting covenant with them That I will not turn away from them to do them good but I will put my fear into their hearts that they shall not depart from me So you that had the covenant given to your Fathers when they came out of the Land of Egypt stood against his covenant though it was witnessed by Moses and the Prophets which you read so you stand against the promise of God to you which now thousands of the Gentiles do witness the covenant of Light which to them was promised with which they know God and so are come into the life of the Law and covenant of God which reconciles Jew and Gentiles together which brings to see that he is God of both and brings them to one so that which doth convert brings into the life that the Prophets spoke of and Moses spoke of which God to them did let see and the promise which thing is come to pass and the life of the Law and the Prophets is witnessed and him that sits on the Throne of David now reigns And again thus saith the Lord If ye can break my covenant of the day take notice and my covenant of the night that there should not be day and night in their season Mark This Covenant which orders day and night in their season then may also my covement be broken with David my servant that he should not have a son to reign upon his Throne and this is the covenant and this is the King of the Jews which they would not have him to reign And this is he who bears his Government upon his Shoulders which is without end and this is the Heir and this is he that is come for judgement into the world to make them blinde that say they see and to make them see that sees not And this is the question that lies upon you to answer If he was Davids Son how did he call him Lord Now as you come to the Light you will see it and him that shall and doth reign on the Throne of David with the Priests Levites and Ministers as the Host of Heaven cannot be numbred neither the Sand of the Sea measured so will I multiply the Seed of David my Servant saith the Lord. Now he that sits on the Throne of David his Seed witnesses him Lord and King who is the Prince of life that hath Dominion over death through death hath destroyed him that hath the power of death and Repentance is preached and remission of sins through faith in him from whence comes the refreshing into the soul who is the Bishop of it and as they cannot break the covenant that keepeth day and night in its season for they was made by him who was the covenant so they cannot break this covenant with David that he should not have a Son to reign on his Throne if they can break that covenant that orders day and night then they may break this covenant with David my Servant Jer. 33. that he should not have a Son to reign on his Throne They shall set their faces towards Zion saying Come let us joyne our selves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten Now the everlasting covenant written in the heart by which you need not say Know the Lord brings from among the Heathen seperates from from among the strangers and aliens from the life of God as the Gentiles were Though the Lord by his Spirit in the Prophets spoke of the Promise That he should be a Light to the Gentiles and that they should see his glory which many now do enjoy and imbrace and see him who sits on the Throne of David him whom Abraham David and Isaiah saw and Jeremiah saw and the Prophets gave Testimony of and Moses who said God would raise up and the people should hear him and the people doth hear him yet they which had the words being strangers from the life of God knew him not when he was come and God had raised him up but denied the Resurrection of the Just One. And Jesus Christ the EMANVEL that Moses spoke of the Prophet which God raised up said Think not I am come to destroy the Law but to fulfil it whom your Fathers thought was out of the life of it Saith he It was said in old time Thou shalt not commit Adultery mark Commit it But I say unto you He that looketh after a woman to lust after her hath in his heart committed adultery already Now mark here is the Law written in the heart here is the new Covenant that the Prophet speaks of which is agreeable to Moses and to them all that which fulfils the LAW not breaks it And the Law saith Thou shalt do no murder but your Fathers which had garnished the Sepulchres of the Prophets which their Fathers had killed desired a Murderer before the Just One the Emanuel the Saviour him whom Moses the Prophets and Abraham did give testimony of and they said His blood be upon us and Christ said All the righteous blood from Abel to Zacherias should be required of this Generation So have you not been driven into other nations and your houses been desolate since and Jerusalem trodden under foot where the Prophets perished that shewed the coming of the Just One which at last the Son was cast out by you upon whom the Gentiles hath trodden But now is the Lord gathering to himself and his Name is great among the Gentiles and the Remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people which now is witnessed and his Tent is known as the dew from the Lord as the shewers on the grass that tarries not for man take notice nor waits for the Son of man and the Remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as al yon among the Beasts of the Forrest as a yong lyon among the sheep whom it he go thorow he tares down and tares in pieces and none can deliver Now this is seen among many people And in that day saith the Lord Isa 10.11 there shall be a root of Iess which shall stand for an ensign of the people to it the Gentiles shall seek and his rest shall be glorious Now the Gentiles have found this glorious rest which to this ensign this root of Iess they do seek this day is fulfilled among them and witnessed glory to the Lord God the Highest for ever And he shall set up an ensign for the Nations and shall assemble the out casts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Iudah from the four corners of the earth Now this Ensign is set up for the out-casts of Israel for Nations and to the gathering of the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth Now you owning the light you own this ensign and this ensign now is witnessed see it and have that set upon the Throne of David for the Lord

say Who is a God like unto thee who takest away iniquity and passes by the transgression of the Remnant of his Heritage and saith the Lord I will bring again their captivity and the captivity of Sodom and her Daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her Daughters Ezek. 10.53 then will I bring again the captivity of thy Captives in the midst of them Now they that be in the life of the Prophets sees this That they that were in the captivity had spoyled the Oath in breaking the Covenant Yet notwithstanding saith the Lord I will remember my covenant with thee in the day of thy youth and will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant and thou shalt know that I am the Lord The Lord will raise up the Tabernacle of David that is falne down and close up the breaches thereof and I will raise up his ruins saith the Lord and build it as in the dayes of old that they may possess the Remnant of the Heathen which are called by my name saith the Lord. And the dragon was wrath with the woman and went to war with the Remnant of her Seed which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Iesus Christ the dragon is wrath with them that keep the commandments and them cannot endure but is wrath and makes war against them And the Remnant of the Seed of the woman appears now that have the testimony of Iesus and keeps the commands of God over all the world stands and the dragon and his wrath fears not but by the testimony of Iesus they overcome which is the Spirit of Prophesie who are his Remnant which keeps his commandments with whom the dragon now is wrath and makes war against And now is the Lord made manifest to them that asked not after him and found of them that sought him not this Prophesie of Isaiah is fu●filled in this our dayes The Father is made manifest God hath made manifest his Covenant to them that did not ask after him Mark Them that asked not after him to them is he made manifest And you which be strangers from the Light the Covenant having the first Covenant this saw not your eyes was blinded who was from the life of the Law and Prophets and this should provoke you to jealousie The life must be brought from the dead before the riches of the world be known the covenant of light the unchangeable the conversion to the life of Moses the prophets the Son of God who of them is the end this you must know before you be converted come to the father of spirits know Moses the Prophets that gave forth the scriptures for the life is that which doth convert le ts see to what condition it was given gives a spirit of understanding by w ch the Prophet spoke by by w ch spirit they saw the eye of your fa●hers that God blinded whose ears were dul of hearing hearts gross are in blindness not receiving the covenant of light within so over your hearts the vail i● remaining who yet have that eye which is blinded cannot hear the holy Ghost nor him who was born of it to be converted healed who ever tesisted are for Iudgement with the spirit the Scripture was given forth from for Moses in the light saw the covenant Abraham saw the promise in that light we in that light do inioy that promise which they saw to be fulfilled y● covenant of light witness y● holy spirit y● scrriptures were given forth from do see them which hath the words o● the scriptures ●ut not in the spirit that gave them forth them God the Father of spirits scatters though they gather together and such be Heathens that know not the Spirit the Scriptures were given forth from these know not God the Father of Spirits but are all a heaps about words killing and destroying one another From them who are Israels common-wealth who are the remnant that keeps the command of God and are of the seed of Abraham who witness the mighty power of the Lord in raising his own seed by his own power in this day and the trumpet is blown in Zion and the alarum is sounded in his holy mountain which makes the earth to tremble and do tremble at the word of the Lord and are by the dark world called quakers at whose voice Moses exceedingly did quake which power and voice now is known among us which doth no● onely shake the earth but the heavens which power removes that which is shaken that that which cannot be shaken may remain and appear and before this covenant you come to know your hearts must be rent so to come to witness the abolishing of death before life and immortality be brought to light through the Gospel which is the power of God which removes shakes and throwes down all and so the promise comes to be fulfilled And saith the Lord by the prophet Make the heart of this people fat make their eares heavy saith the Lord to him that was in the spirit lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts Pro. 6.22 Isa 6 chap. and be converted and be healed these that was from the light of the Law the life for his law is light saith Solomon But I said How long Lord mark and he answered untill the Cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land be utterly desolate take notice They that be in the Holy Ghost see this fulfilled upon you who have nor understood with your hearts nor seen with your eyes nor been converted whole cities comes to be laid waste and houses without man and the land come to be desolate without the spirit that gave forth Scriptures and the Lord have removed men far away and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the Land of this take notice But yet in it shall be a tenth mark and it shall return and be eaten as a teil tree and as an oak whose substance is in it when they cast their leaves of that take notice so the holy seed shall bee the substance thereof Mark Rom. 12.15 Isa 6.13 The holy seed life from the dead he that hath an ear let him hear ond this must be known before the riches of the world be Now that which gathers you to the promise is the light and power of God and the light will let you see all the evill deeds you have done all the ungodly actions you have committed and all your transgressions that is the light which shews you them and if you love the light you will come to see your selves and whether your deeds bee wrought in God and if you believe in the light which manifesteth all that ever you have done ye will become the children of light and receive power from Christ from whence the light comes him by whom the world was made

to stand against the evill which hee hath given you a light to see and with this light you come to know the M ssias your Saviour to save you from your sin which he discovers and to see the everlasting offering But you that do hate this light and go into the evill and love the darkness more than that which shews you your evill deeds and evill wayes when God is not in all your thoughts when your heart revolts and when you call on him with your lips and your hearts afarre off This is the light of Christ that shewes you this and lets you see your covetousness and idolatry and if you go on in these things before-mentioned the light will be your condemnation even the light saith Christ who inlightneth every man that cometh into the world This light of Christ tells you you should not do unjustly one to another that you should not be drunk nor oppress one another nor wrong one another It 's the light that shews you this and measures things aright and this word is nigh you in the heart and in the mouth to obey and do it Now as you love the light and bring your deeds to it you will come to know the light Moses was in and come to know the Prophet which he said God would raise up whom you should hear and come to know the Covenant of light which brings in the Gentiles to serve the living God from dead Idols which the Prophet spoke of which is the glory of Israel And as you love this light before mentioned you will come to know the Law in your hearts written the new Covenant the everlasting Covenant which the Prophet prophesied of which now thousands do witness with which light they know God the glory of Israel Zions King and him are come to worship and this light will tell you you must not bow to any likeness but unto God alone nor commit adultery nor serve graven images the Gods of the Heathen nor follow their customes which are vaine for against that Gods hand is turned who is one with the Light which Light the darkness cannot comprchend though it in darkness shines and Christ the light came to his own and his owne received him not even among your fathers that had the Oracles of God and the darkness could not the light comprehend though the light in darkness shined neither could the darkness see him by whom the world was made the light who is glor●fied with the Father with the glory that he had with the Father before the world was Therefore to the light in you I speak that with it you may be turned from darkness and the power of Satan to God and receive the covenant of light and the power of God Christ Iesus that you may come to life regeneration and c●nversion and the renewing of your mindes remission of sinns and receive the refreshing into your souls And as you love the light that shews you the evill that ever you have done 2 Cor. 4.6 ye love Christ and that light is it which gives the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ which shines in the dark heart and none comes to the knowledge of God but by the light which shines in the heart and this treasure have we in earthen vessells that the excellency of the power might be of God and not of Man But if you do this light hate you hate Christ and remain stumbling blinde and scattered refusing the Corner-stone whom all the builders stumbles at who are out of the light and none comes from stumbling to know the words of the Scripture declared from the life but such as own the light To the light in you I speak if you go on in your evil deeds and unbelief not believing in the light the light is your condemnation hateing the light you hate Christ for you do not come to the knowledge of God but by the light He that comes to the knowledg of God knowes his Son now none comes to the Son but who owns and comes to the light which from the Son doth come And this light brings to one heart one minde one People one God one Mediator betwixt God and Man and this light unites and brings Iew and Gentile together and he that believes not in the light doth not believe in God who is light nor know his Son who inlighteneth every man that cometh into the world And to you this is the word of the Lord. A VISITATION TO All you that have long had the Scriptures but found out of the life of them that gave them forth that are stumbling about the words fighting and contending about them imprisoning and persecuting them that witness the life that gave them forth TO all you who are from the life of the law and the Prophets which is the light and from the spirit of understanding which gave forth the Scripture and hearing hear not and seeing see not having hearts and understand not whose ears are heavy whose eyes are shut and whose hearts are fat who are in the transgression out of the Law of God and his Covenant first and second against all such the Lord sent his Prophet to declare and commanded him Go tell this people Is● 6 9.10 hear yee indeed but understand not and see yee indeed but perceive not make the heart of this people sat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them who is the light such as was from the light who with that ear could not hear Now the Prophet was here in the life of the Law the people was here from the life of the Law therefore the life turned against them that were from that of God in them and the life of the Law the life turning against them being one with that of God in them which they were gone from so the life blinded them and their ears became heavy and their hearts fat and their eyes shut and they could not hear with their ears nor understand with their hearts nor be converted even such as were gone from the life with which the spirit of God was one in which the Prophet was And saith the Prophet Isaiah to this people that were gone from the life of the Law what the Lord would do with his vineyard he would take away the hedge thereof and it should be eaten up and break down the wall thereof and it should be trodden down and I will lay it waste and it shall not be pruned nor digged Isai 5.5 6. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the House of Isreel and the men of Iudah his pleasant plant Hee looked for judgement but behold oppression for righteousness but behold a cry These were those that were blinde where the judgment was not

but the oppression and were from the light such Christ came to make blinde against whom went the woe that drew iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as it were with a cart-rope that called good evill and evill good such as were from the life of the Law and such as these hearing hear not and seeing see not whose hearts are made fat Make them sat whose eyes are shut lest they should see whose ears are heavy lest they should hear Then said I Lord how long and he answered untill the Cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land be utterly desolate mark and take notice of this untill the cities be without inhabitant and the houses without men and the land be utterly desolate Now such as were here out of the life of the Law and the Prophets being in the transgression the life went against them that were from the life and blinded it and stopt that ear and that heart cannot understand that against the life is turned untill the city be wasted without inhabitant and God hide his counsel and secrets from this eye and from this ear so he comes to make them blinde that they cannot see which be in the transgression who doth not blinde the light the eye that the Prophet saw withall And again Isa 29.9 10 11 12. c. the Prophet said to them that were out of the life of the Law in the transgression Stay your selves and wonder for the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep and hath closed your eyes the Prophets and your Rulers and the Seers hath hee covered the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed which men deliver to one that is learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for it is sealed and the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for I am not learned Wherefore thus saith the Lord Forasmuch as this people draw neer me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me but have removed their heart far from me and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men therefore will I proceed c. These people were from the life of the Law whose hearts were farr removed from God to these the books was sealed and the Vision of all was become unto them as a sealed book and they could not read it neither the learned nor the unlearned for to both it was sealed to this people that could not see nor hear was the book sealed whose eye was blinded though they were learned or unlearned such as was from the life of the Law which was the light the life of the Law the light they had not and such the prophet saw who was in the light of the Holy Ghost and their fear towards the Lord was taught by the Precepts of men as it is now with them that are blind these their eyes were closed upon whom was poured a spirit of deep sleep who stagg●red like a drunken man but not with wine who sought deep to hide their counsel from the Lord and worked in the dark among whom the Lord will do a marvellous work and a wonder the wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of the prudent shal be hid These were-them that turned the things upside down who should be esteemed as the potters clay for shall the work say to him that made it He made me not Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it He had no understanding Yea he sees take notice that hath made and framed Mind this you who call upon God with your lips but your hearts afar off who be strangers from the life of his Law who turn things upside down who must be turned upside down before the life of the Law which is the light be known and their eyes opened Who are in the spirit of slumber and the spirit of deep sleep yet have wisdome and a prudent understanding These were them that the Prophet saw from the life of the Law and such God made blinde for the promise was when God gave forth the Law Blessing and them that were in the life saw the end of it a Curse was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law the woe was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law but the blessing the curse was to them that did not abide in the life of the Law and such came not to s●e the end of what they profest and these went from the life of the Law to mens precepts and they were such as called upon God with their lips but their hearts were afar off and such owning not the life of the Law they owned not Christ when he came who was the end of it but was blinde and so the fulfilling of Isaiah's words came to be which were spoken forth from the life which when Christ came who was the life they that had the words of the Law and being out of the life knew him not but were them that were blinded by hearing should not hear nor understand and seeing 〈◊〉 should see not perceive these which was gon from the life of the law the light which Christ was one with the life which they were gon forth from These could not perceive nor see though they saw and though they heard they could not understand which were in the transgression from the life of the Law and such Christ came to make blinde and these eyes must be blinded that they cannot see nor heary for that which must hear comes to the life of the Law and to the conversion and saith Christ to them that were gone from the life of the Law which hearing heard not neither understood These peoples hearts were waxed gross their ears were dull of hearing their eyes was closed lest at any time mark they were so shut up from the light the life of the Law lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted and I should heal them Now you may all come to see what peoples hearts they were that was waxed gross and ears dull of hearing and could not see with their eyes nor hear with their ears lest they should be converted and Christ should heal them such as were out of the life of the Law and out from that of God in them in the uncoverted estate against whom Christ cried wo For how can they hear with their ears or see with their eyes that are from the life of the Law and how otherwise can it be but that their hearts will wax fat and gross and be hardned with the deceit who go from the Light the life of the Law which is the eye which God blindes not who is light and teach mens commandments for doctrines such as hear not the life of the law

words saying Go unto this people and say hearing you shall hear and not understand and seeing you shall see and not perceive for the heart of this people is waxed gross and they are dull of hearing and their eyes are closed lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and should be converted and should heal them To them he said Be it known unto you the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles and they will obey it So here the Apostle Christ and Isaiah saw them that had the words of Moses and the Prophets but out of the life the light such could not hear nor see being from the life of God such were blinde and such Gods Hand often turned against and carried them into captivity yea to the bringing down and bringing forth of his seed out of Captivity so in bringing them down that were in captivity they often came to remember God and so Gods promise stands with the seed sure and his election sure All along you may see in the days of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles such as had not the life the light of the Prophets and Apostles being found out of the life of the spirit of God had the spirit of slumber had hearts and could not perceive eyes they had and could not see eares they had and could not heare and such eyes God made blinde and eares God made deaf and knew not the mysterie of the Kingdom having their hearts gross and far from God and served him but with the lips and they that were from the life of the Law were here they that were in the life of the Law they saw such as were from the life of the Law here one saw and the other did not one saw and the others eye was to be made blinde And they that did carry Gods seed into captivity should be brought into bondage and God would judge them and they had the eye which was blinde so you may all see that which was from the life of the Law the life of the Prophets the life of Christ which is the light doth harden which is the deceit and such as hear the voice of the Son of God are not hardened but such as hear not the voice of the Son of God are hardened through the deceit among these there was warres one destroying another and carrying captives But who are come to the life of the Law and the end of the Law the end of the first covenant the everlasting Priesthood from the changeable to the unchangeable witnesseth that which doth not vail change nor harden and make to see captive and lead out of captivity while Moses is read the vail is yet over the heart which doth harden but take away that which doth harden and bring the minde out of the changeable which their minde was in in the outward to the life the light which was hardened and blinded having the spirit of slumber to the covenant of light the everlasting covenant the end of all shadowes types and figures to the substance that covenant is decayed and so with this that is kept out which doth harden mark the deceit which is out of the truth the life which is in the transgression having a pretence of the worship but out of the life of it all such are blinded and can neither hear with their ears nor see with their eyes nor be converted nor healed and from the life of the Law are whose hearts are afar off from God so all these that have the words of Moses and of the Prophets that are from the light the life with the life come to have all their wisdome and knowledge overthrown such had their eyes blinded and had a spirit of slumber and Hearts gross and these the life of the Law overthrew from top to bottome and all that profession without the life of the Law calling upon God with the lips but Hearts afarr off God overthrowes and judges judges and blindes he that hath an ear to hear let him hear That which overthrowes the Jewes outward brings in the Jewes inward in the spirit to the King the light which is one in the spirit and baptizeth them both Jew and Gentile into one body and here he comes to the life of the Law and the Prophets and Christ and the promise fulfilled where there is seeing and hearing and conversion the Heart being brought to the Lord God to perceive and to you this is the word of the Lord. And this eye the Lord doth not blinde God doth not blinde his own eye but that eye which is out of the life of the Law the Prophets and Christ and that eye is blinded which receiveth not the testimony of the Prophets nor the Son and this the Prophet saw with the Holy Ghost and Christ saw who by the Holy Ghost was conceived and the Apostle saw with the Holy Ghost such as was blinded and is to be blinded and the Holy Ghost was not blinded that which goes from the life cannot believe the life but is hardened they being from the life could not hear nor see the life when the life spake unto them to be converted their eyes was so closed lest I the Light should heal them to them woe was from the light to them which were from it they went from the life and the life was against them so the light cast them away that held up the outward Priests that had the outward Covenant their eyes they have closed mark they have closed their eyes lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their eares and unde●stand with their hearts and should be converted and I should heal them mark they have closed their eyes lest they should see Christ that owns not the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world they have closed their eyes lest they should see it and hear it and come to understand with the heart and should be converted and Christ should heal them They closed their eyes lest they should see the light who was from it and owned it not the healing which brings to be converted and turns the heart from being gross and the new heart comes to be received these that have closed their eyes lest they should see the light at any time say they see but are blinde so being from the light the sin remains these call on God with their lips but being from the light the heart is afar off these are the unconverted understands not with the heart and are unhealed and follows the world which sayes they can see which Christ came to make blind and for judgment is he come into the world that they that say they see may be made blinde they that see not might see and this light brings Iews and Gentiles to see one another and this raises up the tribes of Jacob gathers together in the unity in one and with it doth them reconcile up to God with the

covenant of light which is unchangeable And the Apostle Iames speaking of the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory which is without respect of persons Jam. 2. ch and shewing the Law which is Royal which is without respect of persons saith If ye fulfil the Royal Law according to the Scripture Thou shalt love thy Neighbor as thy self ye do well but if ye have respect to persons ye commit sin and are convinced of the Law as transgressors So that you that respect persons do commit sin and would have others to respect persons and to commit sin who cannot else you cast them into prison and go into the transgression of the Law of God and is against them whose souls are subject to the Higher Power and doth not respect the Ordinances of God as they do that respect persons and doth commit sin and are Transgressors and so brings to themselves destruction whose souls are not subject to the Higher Power but the Ordinance of God is resisted by such and the Royal Law and it convinceth them as Transgressors So speak and so do as they that would be judged by the Law of Liberty for whosoever shall keep the whole Law and yet offend in one Point he is guilty of all mark This one Point of respecting person which if it be broken it is guilty of all As for instance He that saith Do not commit adultery said also Do not kill if thou commit not Adultery yet if thou kill thou art become a Transgressor of the whole Law adulterated from the life and resists the Higher Power to which the soul should be subject Qu. But deceit will say If I must not respect persons I must not honor my Father and Mother Ans He honors not father and mother that disobeys Gods command and is out of his Law and lives not in the life of his Law who saith Thou shalt not respect persons and the same saith Obey your Parents in the Lord for the law is the light and the light is the life and the life preserves which light gives to know God and his will in the law and Gods judgements on them that transgresses it and this light keeps from adultery and where the Royal Seed is now risen up made under the law brings to know That marriage is hono able He that hath an ear to hear let him hear Obj. Saith he that is out of the light may not I respect another woman as well as my wife seeing I may not respect persons Ans The light which is the Law teacheth thee not to commit adultery and To love thy neighbor as thy self and thy Wife as thy own flesh and to know that marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled And this Light brings Parents to train up their Children in the fear of the Lord with which they come to honor them in the Lord. And this the Law which is the Light that tells thee Thou must not lust ●or covet which if thou doest thou hast an Idol So that which covets goes from the Law which is the Light and from the Light which is the Law to the Idol-maker where is the founder of the Image that hardens blindes stops the ear and makes the heart gross and there comes in the eye which God blindes and there is the heart far from God though there be calling upon him with the lips To the Light in you all I speak that you may come to the law written in your hearts with which you may come all to know the Lord and Christ his Son his Righteousness the end of Gods Law which is righteous the end of the righteous Gods righteous Law Let every man be subject to the Higher Power mark for there is no power but of God the powers that be are ordained of God mark Put on the whole Armor of God for we wrestle that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against Principalities and powers against the Rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high Places wherefore take unto you the whole Armor of God that you may be able to stand in the evil day having done all to stand having your loins girt about with truth having the Brest-plate of Righteousness So the Armor and Breast-plate of Righteousness brings to stand against the Principalities and Powers against the Rulers of Darkness against the Spiritual wickedness in High-Places whose feet are here shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace and have the Shield of Faith whereby they are able to quench all the Fiery-Darts of the Wicked and have the Helmet of Salvation the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and their Souls are subject to the Higher Powers and wrestles against the Principalities Powers against the Rulers of the Darkness of this World against Spiritual W ckedness in High Places For there is no Power but is of God the Powers that be ordained of God brings to stand against the Principalities and Powers against the Rulers of Darkness of the World the Spiritual wickedness in High-places mark Here is the Higher power that which God hath ordained to which the soul must be subject and here is that which is out of the Truth the which whole Loins are girded with it against it stands And whosoever therefore resisteth the powers which be ordained of God resisteth the Ordinance of God which God hath ordained and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation Such as go from the Light the Truth and the Power of God their souls are not subject to the Higher Power but that comes in which wars against it the Lusts which war against the soul where the Spiritual Wickedness and the Ruler of the Darkness against which who be in the Truth Wars for Rulers are not a terror to good works but to the evil Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power Do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of the same mark then thou art kept in the truth and the Loins about girded with it for he is the Minister of God to thee for good who hath this Higher power which is of God which is above the Principalities and powers and Rulers of Darkness in the World and Spiritual Wickedness in High places which is out of the light out of the truth such are not the Help Governors but he is the help government that stands against them which is the Higher power to which the soul must be subject but if thou do that which is evil be afraid then thou goest from the light and thy soul is not subject to the higher power and art where the spiritual wickedness is and the ruler of darkness and the spiritual wickedness in the High places which is to be wrastled against and so thou goest into the evill and this Higher power goes against thee for he is the Minister of God a revenger to execute
