JACOB THE Plain Man Wrestling with God un●… Break of the Day and prevalling in the Lig●…●…ereof for perfect VICTORY and DOMINIGN over ESAU THE Rough Cunning Man And over all that would hinder him from going up to Bethel the House of God to sacrifice unto him in the Place where he first appear'd unto him Whereby all may see how I was after long Wrestling with and seeking the Lord brought off from Professing and Preaching that for Gospel which made not free from sin in this Life that I might come to know the Light and Life of Jesus manifest in me for the Destroying the Works of the Devil and giving Power to supplant overcome all that would hinder from going up to the Mountain of the Lord's House to Worship and Serve him in the Life and Purity of his own Spirit which is blessed for evermore Whose Outward Name is Laurence Steel Printed in the Year 1677. Reader THese things were required of me to give forth to be read in the Fear of the Lord which if kept to will make a right Application of all unto thy own Estate and Condition either by way of Condemning thee or Justifying of thee and may if in Singleness of Heart thou readest help to open thy Understandin the Discerning of these things which the Lord through the Dayes of Judgment and Tryals that are past and those that are yet to come hath and will more and more supplant overturn and what he hath and will yet more and more establish and exalt in the room thereof that so thou mayst come timely to escape the one and to joyn unto the other lest the Day of the Lord which will be as a Thief in the Night overtake thee unawares A TESTIMONY TO THE Gospel of Christ Jesus AS Anciently preached and believed in by the Primitive APOSTLES and CHRISTIANS with the Manner of my coming to witness and receive the same THe Gospel of Christ as it was preached and witnessed by the Primitive Christians is the Power of God unto Salvation unto them that do believe in which Gospel the Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all mark All Ungodliness and Unrighteousness of Men who hold the Truth which is the Gospel that should save them in Unrighteousness So the Truth is in Unrighteous Men and testifieth against their Unrighteousness in which it is by them held down and imprisoned which keeps them from witnessing Deliverance thereby And in this Gospel there is no Glad-tidings to any in Unrighteousness nor Justification in Ungodliness but Wrath revealed against it and abideth upon all such as hold the Truth therein until they come to bow to the Wrath of God which is revealed in them for the cutting down of all Unrighteousness and Ungodliness and for the freeing of the Truth which is held therein and such come through the righteous Judgments of God to know that Righteousness which is Christ the Power of God to be revealed for the removing and taking away of the Wrath that was upon them and the bringing them to Life and Justification who are hereby made Witnesses that what may be known of God viz. of his Eternal Power to sanctifie and redeem out of Sin and Unrighteousness is manifest in them for God hath shewed it unto them to be his Gospel and Power unto Salvation who do come from holding of the Truth in Unrighteousness to hold this Mystery of Faith in a pure Conscience so this Gospel of Christ which is a Mystery was manifested or shewed to the Primitive Saints to be within And how was it shewed Not by Tradition from Man or any outward Letter but by Revelation Therefore it is said The wrath of God is revealed mark and The Righteousness of God is revealed and Paul calls the Gospel which he received not by Tradition from any The Revelation mark of his Son in him And how was it that Christ came to be revealed in Paul but by the Light which exceeded the Brightness of the Sun the outward natural Light which Light was the Appearance of Jesus of Nazareth which also inwardly shewed him and prickt him for his Persecution which he saw not nor was not judged for by the outward Letter of the Law according to which he was blameless And Paul being thus met with and stopt by a greater Power and Authority then that by which he was before acting it was hard for him to kick against the Pricks of this Light but he fell down both he and his Companions with their Commission from the High Priest and all their Letter Knowledge before this Light of Jesus which was greater then all and here Paul lay until the Light that struck him down said unto him Stand up and in the rising up after he had known the inward Pricks and Terrors of the Lord he came to receive a Power and Commission to turn the People from Darkness unto the Light which he else-where calls the Revelation of Christ in him and when the Saints heard that Paul preached of and by virtue from Christ revealed in him which Gospel he once sought to destroy they glorified God in him mark in him And this was and is the true Gospel and the manner of the Saints receiving of it viz. by Revelation not by Tradition from Men or Writings and if an Angel from Heaven should bring any other Gospel he was to be accursed And this was and is the true Foundation other then which no man can lay upon which the Ancient Christians built their Hope of Glory viz. Christ in them which was not another then Jesus of Nazareth who was with them and now came to be manifest in them for the destroying of the Works of the Enemy that so he and his Works being cast out the Seed of God which is Christ the greater Power might only remain in perfect Dominion and Possession of the Hearts out of the good Treasure whereof good Fruits and Works were to be brought forth to his Glory who is blessed forever Now this Gospel of Christ I could not meet with or hear preached in any of the Professions that I was conversant in whose Faith was that Revelation was ceased and that there was not a total Cessation from Sin which is the Work of the Devil attainable in this Life nor no such Grace or Light given to Mankind by which they might come to deny all Ungodliness and all Worldly Lusts but that if the Conversation were reformed yet there would be Lust and Sin still remaining within to the Life's end from the Commission whereof none could be fully freed by any Power or Strength which God had given on this side the Grave Nor did I receive this Gospel by Tradition from Man or any Writings Learning or Wisdom of my own but from the living God who separated me for his Service from the Womb and placed his Fear in me which inclined me in the beginning of my dayes to seek his Glory Honour above the Pleasures of this
