Printed in the Year 1663. Gentle and Courteous Reader IN this small Book is many weighty matters laid down to thy serious consideration even the things which belongs to thy eternal peace with God therefore be not rash nor hasty to judge of any thing herein which may be above thy capacity but wait in that measure of the gift of grace which God hath bestowed upon thee that it may lead thee in the path of righteousnesse so will these heavenly mysteries be unfolded unto thee and if in any thing thou be contrary minded God shall reveal even this unto thee for he revealeth secrets and the light dwelleth with him And as no man knows the things of man save the spirit of man that is in him so no man knows the things of God save the spirit of God Therefore if thou wouldst know whether these things in this little Volume be of God or no return to the manifestation of Gods Spirit which he hath given to thee to profit withal this will be as the Key of David unto thee and will open unto thee these things and no man shall shut them from thee but if this shut them from thee no man shall open them to thee Therefore unto this I recommend thee and remain Thine to serve in love AMB. RIGGE A Standard of Righteousnesse lifted up to the Nations and an Ensigne of Peace unto the People IN the beginning God made man upright Eccl. 7. 29. perfect and compleat in his owne Image Gen. 1. 26 27. which was righteousness and true holiness and gave him divers Commandements and alsopower to keep and observe them while he stood in that perfect image in which he was created who in that state was a Son of God and Heir of Life and had the Tree of Life freely given him to be his food that he might live for ever But out of that state the Serpent led him to sin and break Covenant with God whereby he lost that perfection of holinesse in which he stood compleat while he kept Covenant with God And also was dispossessed of that power by which he kept the Commands of God and so all his posterity died in him from that power and perfection of holinesse in which man was created and fell into Satans Kingdome which is sin and imperfection and so were and alwayes have been led captive at his will into many noysome lusts which hath drowned thousands in perdition But as in Adam all died so in Christ shall all be made alive 1 Cor. 15. 22. This glad tydings of Life Salvation and Redemption was general to all Mankind without respect of persons who would hear and obey him by whom God in his eternal purpose would restore man into his first estate viz. by Christ the second Adam according to his word by Isaiah the Propet who said that Zion should be redeemed through judgement and her Converts with righteousnesse Isa 1. 27. And also said he would restore her Judges as at the first and her Counsellors as at the beginning and afterwards she should be called the City of Righteousnesse the faithful City verse 26. This was the first promise of mans restoration into that perfection of holinesse in which he was created And he prophesied of the Coming and Kingdome of Christ and said it shall come to passe in the last dayes that the Mountain of the Lords House shall be established in the top of the Mountains And many people should say Come and let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord to the House of the God of Iacob and he will teach us of his wayes and we will walke therein Isa 2. 2 3. And the same Prophet cried unto the house of Iacob and said Come let us walke in the light of the Lord Isa 2. 5. Here was the way of God which was his Light prophesied of to lead man again to God from whence he was fallen which afterwards came to lead the Israel of God in all his wayes as hereafter I shall fully declare Yet never thelesse the same Prophet said Christs Kingdome should be a Tabernacle when the Lord had washed away the filth of the Daughter of Zion by the Spirit of judgement and burning Isa 4 4. 5 6. yet the same Prophet saw in a Vision the stubbornesse of many to their own destruction and said they would make their hearts fat and their ears heavy and would not hear and shut their eyes least they should see until their Cities was wasted without inhabitants and their houses without men Isa 6. 10 11. But said in it there should be a remnant which should be as a Teyle Tree or as an Oake whose substance was in them when they cast their leaves so the holy seed should be the substance thereof Isa 6. 13. which afterwards was fulfilled for Christ the holy seed was after in the remnant that was saved as the substance remained in the Teyle Tree or Oake when their leaves was cast This was also a certain testimony of the Son of God who was set for the fall and the raising again of many in Israel Luke 2. 34. who was to be manifested in man to restore him to his first estate as the Apostles at large afterwards witnessed The same Prophet also prophesied of the birth of this Second Adam and of his Kingdome and Government Isa 9. 6. 7. And said the remnant of the house of Iacob should no more stay upon him who smote them but should stay upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel and should return unto the mighty
