they abide in darknes and brings forth the works thereof and are in the house of bondage kept and knows not the Rest and Peace in God and so all people who he from the light they are from the guide that leadeth in the way of life in which secrets are revealed and the Mystery opened and though such swear the Lord liveth they swear falsly for his life they know not but are enemies to it and every appearance of it and so brings forth their own conceivings and preaches it for Doctrine and stands in similitudes and likenesses forms and imitations where the false birth is exalted and the fleshly mind puft up which breaks forth in appearance and makes a great shew of godliness and in that glories but the power is denied and Christ is rejected and his appearance persecuted by this fleshly birth Therefore doth the Word of Power reach unto you all ye High-priests and professors that unto the light you may be turned and have your understandings opened to know the Scriptures that you may learn of him of whom the Scriptures testifie for he is the power of God unto Salvation to all that believe and he will teach you truth in the inward parts and make you to be of understanding hearts to know Redemption by him and Salvation in him who gives true freedom out of bondage and leadeth into the Fathers love where all fears are cast out and doubtings removed the flesh being subdued and the false birth crucified his righteousness is received in whom the Father is well-pleased and this is the day of Redemption which from the beginning was and is now witnessed to be the same and so declared in the Spirits power and not in words which mans wisdom teacheth for that is earthly and cannot reach unto things above nor know the Mystery of the heavenly and that makes the world so ignorant of the things of God because they are from the Spirit of God in which secrets are revealed and in which the Mystery is opened and the onely true God known and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent which none can comprehend or know with that which is in the transgression and at enmity with God though words they may have and in them be puft up yet from the life they are found and in their carnal minds are at enmity against it Therefore miserable will all your Comforters be who knows not the Consolation of Israel and in the day of calamity your strength will fail and your hearts faint and it is coming upon you and will be heavy upon your heads And who then will remove it or take it from you who knows not Christ within you Therefore all know this from the Lord that form without power will not save you nor the Letter without the life will give you peace and if either be found amongst you let your doctrine and practise be examined and let it be tryed what image it bears for you wanting the life and power of God your birth is fleshly and born of the flesh and of your own wills and not of the Will of God Therefore arise and depart for it is not your rest you are polluted and your image is defiled and must be destroyed for he appears against you whose Image is heavenly and you must be taken and slain before him because you will not that he should reign over you for he is destroying Antichrist with the brightness of his coming and with the sword of his Spirit is he slaying the wicked and all flesh is but as grass before him for he is blowing upon all your glory and it fades away and dies as the untimely fruit and if your eyes were not blinded you might see the arm of God dashing you one against another and breaking you in pieces as potsherds of the earth and scattering you as the Sun scatters the morning clouds and this is the day of glory which shineth forth in brightness and discovers all your emptiness in the Son of righteousness who is risen in power and gone forth rejoycing and all your idols of silver and gold must be broken down by him and the carved works of your own hands must fall before him for his Image is heavenly though you have marred it and sees no comeliness in it that you should desire it because the worlds glory is not upon it therefore cannot you believe that it is he but puts him to open shame and with your sensual wisdom crucifies him and under your earthly carnal minds buries him and sets your own life above him and so is our Lord crucified in the streets of spiritual Sodom and Egypt where he is trodden under foot and despightfully used consider if ye be not found enemies to God who hates the Light and loves your evil deeds better walking after the flesh and satisfying the lust thereof and sets the lust above the life which makes the seed to groan under the bondage of corruption bearing the earthy image which is in the transgression Now all be awakened for the day is come and the true light shineth in which the Fathers love is manifested and plenteous Redemption witnessed be ye turned unto it all ye ends of the earth for there is not another Saviour but he that is born of God and comes into the world to redeem out of the world and take away the sin of the world in whom the Fathers bosom is opened and his love tendered unto all people that none might perish but that all might come and be saved he that can receive it let him for this is the onely begotten of the Father which is come in power and great glory to put an end to sin and destroy the work of the Devil that the bands may be unloosed and the Prisoner freed and every captive redeemed by his outstretched arm this is good tid●ngs unto the poor Salvation is come that the mourners may be comforted and the feeble strengthened that all who breath after God may walk with him in the light of the living Now let all flesh be silent for God is risen the glory of all flesh to stain and Nations and Kingdoms to subdue Who stands exalted above him and brings forth a birth that is not of his begetting but is of Hagars seed and riseth up against him and is at open enmity with him despising and rejecting reproaching and reviling crucifying and slaying the appearance of him who is the express Image of the Father Now let all be measured with the line of true Judgement and then it will be seen unto whom this condition will reach and who they be that are in the enmity and in that exercises cruelty against the Lord of glory disdaining and scorning reproaching and persecuting the life of righteousness the day of tryal is come the Throne is prepared for Judgement and He that Judgeth Right sits upon it who is the Lord of Hosts come ye Priests and Professors appear before him and stand your tryal he will do
you no wrong but will pass true Judgement according to the evidence which shall be given in by the Just witness in your Conscience and then will you stand guilty before the Lord for the sentence will pass against you and the Judgement will fall upon on you and a Just recompence of reward will be given unto every one of you and this is in the breathings of Gods love declared unto you that you may once turn before repentance be hid from your eyes for you have oft been warned and still you have refused it and hated to be reformed now look unto him whom you pierce let your joy be turned into heaviness and your laughter into mourning that you should so despise him who would have you to be saved and so evil intreat him who hath so long suffered and been patient towards you Now stand still in the pure fear of God that you may come to see Salvation which is so plentifully revealed and made known in the breakings forth of the love of God in the light that you may come to witness Redemption by him who is the way to the Father whose coming is prepared as the morning to give light unto such as be in darkness and this will be known unto you all that it is not want of love from God which will be the Condemnation but your hating the light which from his love is made manifest unto you for a manifestation of the Spirit there is given unto you all that you thereby might profit and who joyns to the Spirit joyns to the Lord and denies the evil deeds and comes out of imitations and over all false births to the birth immortal before which the false birth dies and comes to an end and all imitations withers and consumes away and in that are you glorying which the Spirit of the Lord is blowing upon and blasting and though you be heightened in your glory and stands as if you were rich and had need of nothing yet are you fathomed to the bottom and your ground is tried and you are seen to be poor and miserable and the wo doth reach unto you who are covered but not with the Spirit of the Lord Therefore come down you high and lofty ones who have climbed up another way then by the door you are thieves and robbers and have stollen words from your neighbours which is not your own and have sowed them together and made you a covering and in it stands decked as a painted harlot yet will not all this hide you from the pure eye of God for he is enquiring after you and his voice reacheth unto you and in the cool of the day he comes to see where you are you being erred from him and out of Communion with him for Adam was fallen from God when it was said unto him where art thou read in the fear of God and trie your waies and doings O ye Priests and professing people and see where you are whether in the innocencie or subtiltie in the life or in knowledge covered with righteousnesse or with leaves bearing the image of the heavenly or the image of the earthly in which of these are you consider for the day of visitation reaches unto you all who be out of the way of life put off your coverings for they will not hide you nor be a defence unto you for now doth the Lord appear against you and his controversie is with you all and the day hastens towards you that burns as an oven and all the proud and the wicked must be the stubble and it will burn and there shall be none to quench it therefore be not you deceived for God will not be mocked he sees your wayes and doings and you cannot hide your Councel from him though many things you do he hath no pleasure in them neither doth he require them at your hands he is weary of your meetings and your prayers he heareth not though you make many of them but heaven is shut upon you and the showers doth not fall and so you are a parched heath that brings forth no fruit neither doth your will-worship and fained humilitie make you stand approved in the sight of God neither do you please him nor are your performances accepted for you walk after the flesh satisfies it in the lust and so joines to the harlot and commits whoredom and brings forth a child of whoredom and the son of an adulteress woman which is at enmitie with the seed of life and persecutes the birth that is born thereof But now is the Lord redeeming his chosen and unto the good land is bringing of them in which all wars ceaseth and every one comes to know a quiet habitation in the lot of their own inheritance and possesseth their own portion with joy and gladnesse and fits under their own vine where none makes them afraid for into the holy city many are come where the Lambs government is known who is set upon his throne and in great power doth he reign to subject the kingdoms of the world for he is the Lord and all must worship him who in his glorie doth appear and of whose government there is no end for he hath taken to him his great power and ruleth and with his own arm doth he scatter the proud and with his own arm doth he gather the humble and in his hand doth lead them into the holy City where he is King for ever and makes all wars to cease and seales an everlasting decree of peace this is the new Jerusalem come down from God out of heaven where there is no● curse nor sorrow nor hell nor death but the glory of the Lord fills it and the Lamb is the light thereof in which many walk who are by his power redeemed from the earth and are made to sing songs of deliverance and gives glory unto him that sits upon the throne and unto the Lamb for evermore and this is the rest prepared for the people of God into which many are entered and many are pressing in the light of the Lord Therefore arise you wearied ones and forth of Egypt depart the day of God reacheth unto you that out of darknesse you might come in which you have long sojourned as in a strange Land and under a strange government where you are oppressed and evil intreated arise and come forth the day of Redemption is come and he who is the light of the world makes himself known and his visitation reacheth unto all Stay not behind him but his out-goings waite to know who leads in his light and will not leave you in darknesse nor under Pharaohs power but will ease you of your burdens and break open the house of bondage and free you from oppression and guide you in the way prepared to the everlasting rest gird up the loines of your minds for salvation is near you stand still and see it for the day hath appeared in which Gods arm is revealed by which the
