obedience thereto being yielded the same will remove the Judgments and cleanse from Sin and instead of Judgment pour in Healing Vertue as Hosea 6.1 Come and let us return unto the Lord for he hath torn and he will heal us be hath smitten and be will bind us up This is witnessed And by obeying the same their ways come to be cleansed as Psalm 119.9 Wherewithal shall a young Man cleanse his way By taking heed thereto according to thy Word If any say That none can have their Ways cleansed Yet David the Prophet of the Lord said That by taking heed to one's Ways according to the Word of the Lord a young Man may cleanse his Ways And in the 11th verse declares where this was Thy Word have I hid in my Heart Obj. But if any shall say Is Christ the Word of God in Men Ans I answer with the Apostle 2 Cor. 13.5 Examine your selves know ye not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you except you be Reprobates But this may be hid from many to know that he is there although it be so Light doth shine in Darkness although the Darkness do not comprehend it and so it is a Mystery hid as it hath been to know Christ within Many that have expected Salvation from Christ have been chiefly looking without them and have not minded him as is this Mystery which hath been hid from Ages and from Generations but now is made manifest to his Saints to whom God would make known what is the Riches of the Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ in you the Hope of Glory Col. 1.26 27. And that Mystery the Apostle found Revealed in him by the Grace of God Gal. 1.15 16. So that when it pleased God who separated him from his Mother's Womb and called him by his Grace and revealed his Son in him that he might preach Him unto the Gentiles this was the true Christ which he thus preached unto the Gentiles whom the Lord was pleased by his Grace to reveal in him as in plain words is here expressed And this is Christ which we now preach even the same as the Apostle preached and whosoever preaches any other let him be accursed for we preach not our selves but Christ Jesus the Lord and commend our selves to every Man's Conscience in the sight of God For God who commanded the Light to shine out of Darkness hath shined in our Hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of our God in the face of Jesus Christs 2 Cor. 2.5 6. And so it is now the same Light that hath shined in our Hearts from God the Father of Lights whereby we have received the Knowledge of God in the Pace of Jesus Christ the same we declare to others that they may come to the like Knowledge with us and Rom. 1.15 That which may be known of God is manifest in them for God hath shewed it unto them So turn within to that which is Pure of God in you to be guided by that which will lead you out of the Deeds of Darkness into the Light of the Lord and walking in it you will come into the Land of the Living and no more to be led to look for the Kingdom of God in outward Observations which I declare to be within and the Scriptures witness with me and so we agree But whilst I knew nothing but from Men I did not know It to be there although the Scriptures so declare as Deut. 30. Rom. 10. Heb. 4. That the Word is within and that Christ is within as Col. 1. Gal. 1. Rom. 10. And when the Pharisees demanded of Christ when the Kingdom of God should come he answered them and said The Kingdom of God comes not with Observation neither shall they say Lo berk or Lo there for behold the Kingdom of God is within you Luke 17.20 21. Within the Pharisees while they were looking without and observing things without to get thither as it hath been the Practice of many Professors but he tells them It was within them and did not stand in Observation cross to their Expectations That which keeps only in outward Observation leads into Consusion and Trouble one saying Lo here another Lo there one says This is the Way another says Such a Way is the Way So they differ about the Way and come not to the end But the Kingdom of God is not Meat and Drink but Righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost as in Scripture is declared Rom. 14.17 And as Christ compares it Luke 13.20 21. Whereunto shall I liken the Kingdom of God It is like unto Leaven which Woman took and hid in three Measures of Meal till the whole was leavened And so it is That of God in the Creature Mankind as he is under the Curse and in the Fall is to him little when compared with the great Lump of the corrupt Nature which hides it And That of God lyes low under-neath as even hid by the other that it cannot be discerned by it but yet it calls inwardly with a small still Voice and calls after them when they run into Wickedness and tells them many times privily That they ought not to have done such a thing Now I say that although this be low this Voice within yet it is heard sometimes and when obeyed then it brings a cross upon that desire that would be running out into the Evil so the Desire in the Mind cannot have the fiberty which formerly it had to act the Evil and so Sin dyes As when the vain Mind would lead forth the Creature either for Profit or Pleasure to tell a Lie That of God within which is pure says Lie not Now that being obeyed then that which would tell the Lie hath not the liberty which formerly it had and so instead of Lying there is speaking the Truth and so Sin dyes Thus the Leaven which is pure of God working and being obeyed the contrary will be purged forth and so the little Leaven will leaven the whole Lump For the Lord hath not left himself without a Witness in Mankind whereby he makes known what his Mind and Pleasure is and this shews what is Sin and Evil Deeds and although it be not hearkened unto nor obeyed yet it is there But this where obeyed brings into Christ the Promised Seed who by his Power hath bruised the Head of the Serpent and doth bruise his Head and break down his Power and will overthrow his Kingdom of Darkness This is witnessed Praises to the Lord for evermore by those who are Obedient to that Light of Christ and his Power within them which checks and reproves for Sin So the contrary Power which formerly ruled is disobeyed and trodden down within and so the Seed of the Serpent which was Head even the Head thereof comes to be bruised by the Seed of the Woman this is witnessed through the Warfare For as the Enmity between the two
