God and they that heare shall live is that which Lucifer defaceth and bringeth into contempt in the very hearts of men by endeavouring to make them beleeve this to be a Fancy or else to neglect and put off the time whereby the great Mystery of Christ is over-ruled and trampled upon which he cannot help unless together with him we sink down into the Cross the wrath of God then the light shineth in our hearts and by that means we see our fall our danger and our Redeemers great love and mercy Luk. 13. v. 34. O Jerusalem Jerusalem which killest the Prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together as a Hen doth gather her brood under her wings and ye would not Here indeed is the unspeakable Mystery that Christ in whom the Trinity dwelleth bodily Colos 2. vers 9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the God-head bodily should take upon him our nature and suffer therein a reproachful life and ignominious death by the Prince of the world the Prince of the air for the Redemption of mankind and that the same Christ should be manifested himself through faith in the mystical Body of his Saints whereby he formeth himself in us out of himself that so he may be brought into an Image thereby to know himself 2 Cor. 3.18 But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Therefore praying that our Lord Jesus would establish and strengthen us I will name some Texts whereby we are commanded to suffer with him without which we cannot raign with him 2 Tim. 3.12 Yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution 2 Tim. 2.11 It is a faithful saying For if we be dead with him we shall also live with him Verse 12. If we suffer we shall also raign with him if we deny him he will also deny us Luke 9.23 And he said unto them all Jf any will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross dayly and follow me Verse 26. For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory and in his Fathers and of the holy Angels Rom. 6. vers 6. Knowing this that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve sin 2 Cor. 1. v. 5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ Heb. 12. v. 6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth Verse 7. Jf ye endure chastening God dealeth with you as with Sons for what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not Verse 8. But if ye be without chastisements whereof all are partakers then are ye bastards and not sons Ephes 3.20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us Gal. 2.20 J am crucified with Christ Nevertheless I live yet not J but Christ liveth in me and the life which J now live in the flesh J live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me 1 Pet. 2.20 For what glory is it if when ye be buffeted for your faults ye shall take it patiently But if when ye do well and suffer for it ye take it patiently this is acceptable with God Vers 21. For even hereunto were ye called because Christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps 1 Pet. 4.13 But rejoyce in as much as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings that when his glory shall be revealed ye may be glad also with exceeding joy Verse 14. If ye be reproached for the Name of Christ happy are ye for the Spirit of Glory and of God resteth upon you on their part he is evil spoken of but on your part is he glorified Verse 16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian let him not be ashamed but let him glorifie God in this behalf Verse 17. For the time is come that Judgment must begin at the House of God and if it first begin at us what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God 1 Pet. 5.10 But the God of all grace who hath called us into his eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that ye have suffered a while make you perfect stablish strengthen settle you To search further and beyond this we have neither ground nor authority for 't is in the Will of God himself whose Will is infinite and no man can possibly attain to the knowledg of what farther Creations he will make An Addition Unfolding and clearing some Things only toucht upon REader To prevent mistakes in some obscure Mysteries and my expressions on them take these few Explanations before J bid thee Farewell 1. Whereas in page 3. I make mention of the Spirit of the Virgin Mary know there is a twofold mystical Virgin the one is the pure Word or Doctrine of God out of which Christ is born in us according to the Flesh the other is the eternal Wisdom of God out of which Christ is brought forth in us according to the Spirit and this last is the Virgin which we here meant 2. Whereas in that page also and page 4. line 7. we speak of the Bride of Christ this also is twofold the one is the Jerusalem which comes down from God out of Heaven which the promised Spirit the everlasting Kingdom of Righteousness that descended upon the Apostles in the day of Pentecost concerning which you may read more at large Jer. 3.16 And it shal come to pass when ye be multiplyed and encreased in the Land in those days saith the Lord they shal say no more The Ark of the Covenāt of the Lord neither shal it come to mind neither shal they remēber it neither shal they visit it neither shall that be done any more Revel 3.12 Him that overcometh will I make a Pillar in the Temple of my God and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the Name of my God and the name of the City of my God which is the new Jerusalem which cometh down out of Heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new Name And Chap. 21.2 And J John saw the holy City the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband Of which Jerusalem we also make mention page 10. line 3. out of the fourth Chapter to the Galatians Our Jerusalem above is free The other Bride of Christ is his beloved Spouse the Church at which the Apostle speaks at large Ephes 5.25 26 c. Husbands love your wives even as Christ also
