A38772	A brief discovery of God's eternal truth and a way opened to the simple hearted whereby they may come to know Christ and his ministers, from Antichrist and his ministers : with a warning from the Lord to all people that do name the name of Christ, to depart from iniquity / written in the inquisition of Malta by ...

defile and pollute the Mind and Soul and corrupt the Heart of man hence it is that nothing but the clean and pure Spirit of the Lord God that can in any wise cleanse and sanctifie the Soul and Mind or purge or purifie the Heart again and it seems to be a very vain thing for any man or woman to think otherwise Now let every one that is called a Minister of Jesus Christ see that he be so indeed and in truth for they must come a great way before they can administer Christ Wherefore it is safe to consider that Death reigned or reigneth from Adam to Moses and from Moses till the Prophet John and John was a burning a shining Light the greatest that was born among women but the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he and John cried in the Wilderness saying Prepare ye the Way of the Lord make his Paths streight for he whose shooe he was not worthy to unloose was coming after him whose fan is in his hand and he will throughly purge his Floor and gather the Wheat into the Garner but the Chaff he will burn with Fire unquenchable And John denied not and said He was not that Light but he came to bear witness of the Light saying This is the true Light that lighteth every one that cometh into the world Now it behoveth all that are called Ministers of Christ to call themselves to mind how they travelled through all these Administrations spiritually from Adam till Moses ye are all in death and when you have received the just and holy Law of Moses upon Mount Sinai then you must journey through all the Prophesies till you come to Mount Sion the heavenly Jerusalem the City of the living God before you can be a noble Minister of Jesus Christ And this I am bold to declare in the Name of the Lord Jesus whose Servant I am through mercy Be ye not deceived the Lord God will not be mocked any longer there is a great Mystery in Godliness insomuch that all the earthly Wisdom and Learning and Languages Studies or Prudency is never able to fathom or comprehend the least Motion of the Life of it but as the Mind is joyned to the Light the Word of Life the Word that was before the World was the Word by which the World was made the Word that is quick and powerful sharper than a two-edged Sword even to the piercing and dividing between soul and spirit joynts and marrow and is a searcher and discerner of the Thoughts and Intents of every ones heart and this is he whose Vesture is dipt in Blood his Name is called the Word of God and he is come according to the determinate Counsel of the Father to make a separation between the Pretious and the Vile and to divide the Sheep from the Goats and to gather in the Flock of his Inheritance the People of his own Pasture the Sheep of his hands to fill up his own Fold out of every Kindred Tongue and Nation Jew and Gentile Bond or Free of his Israelites indeed in whose mouths there is no guile and he will place his Name amongst them again and work his Fear in their hearts and write his Laws in their inward-parts that they may never depart from it and they shall be his People for ever and he will be their God eternally and he will be merciful to their Transgressions their Sins and Iniquities he will remember no more for our God cannot deny himself nor forget his holy Promises who hath said I have given Him for a Covenant of Light to enlighten the Gentiles and a Leader and Commander to the people and the day is come that all the Children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord and be established in Righteousness And as for those Ministers that say Men and women can never be freed from Sin while they are here nor made perfect while they are in the body I say such Ministers do not know Christ Jesus the Light nor his Ministry which saith When he ascended up on High he led Captivity captive gave gifts unto men some Prophets some Apostles some Ministers for the perfecting of the Saints and for the Work of the Ministry and for the edifying of the whole body of the Church And again it is said All Scripture given by the Inspiration of the Holy Ghost is wholsome for Doctrine for Instruction for Reproof and Correction in Righteousness that the man of God may be made perfect and thorowly furnished to every good Work Now let all sober-minded men consider where men and women should be made perfect if not here while they are in this body If not in this Body where then Solomon saith As the tree falleth so it lieth the Spirit of the Lord doth not once mention any other place to be purged in in all the Scriptures of truth And the Prophet spake to the Church and said The Lord would purely purge away the dross and take away the tin and rebrobate silver and gold And this I know when Souls come to be quickned by the powerful Word of Life and Truth they come to know the Purgings of the Father and the Washing in the Fountain of Eternal Cleansings in the sweet Streams of Light and living Refreshment the everlasting Refining in the Sanctifying-Furnace of the Spirit of the Lord God and so they do come to be cleansed purified and sanctified throughout souls bodies and Spirits and are made Vessels of Honour and fitted for Glory without the help of any Man or any outward Observation whatsoever What is to be known of God is manifested within and He that giveth power over any ones sin is sufficient to give power over all sins and will and doth to all that be obedient The willing and obedient shall eat the Good of the Land but they that refuse and rebel the Sword shall devour them the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it and his zeal will perform it There is none can forgive Sins but God only against whom all sin is committed for whatsoever just offence is given to any he that giveth the offence sinneth against the Commandment of God which saith Do by all men as you would have them do unto you and love thy neighbour as thy self He never commanded any to do contrary to his own nature which is Love Mercy and Long suffering waiting to be gracious not willing the death of any but that all should return and forsake the Evil of their Wayes and deny the Evil of their Doings and then he would have mercy upon them and abundantly pardon all such as come to him in the Name of the Lord Jesus bringing nothing with them but a penitent heart and an humble spirit confessing their sins being weary of the burthen and weight of them and he will forgive and take away the Guilt from the Conscience while there is guilt within the sin is not pardoned when the Sin and the Guilt of Sin
