man and the woman that comes through the Cross of Christ to have the first man crucified and slain in them and the second birth brought forth in them and they being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth sorever I say be it either man or woman that comes to this state may preach and prophesie in the Church and speak and pray and praise God in the Church for it is not they that speak but it is Christ Jesus that speaketh in them they being nothing but the empty Pitcher until the heavenly Light and Life appear and Christ doth utter his Voice through their earthly Tabernacles for we preach not our selves said Paul 2 Cor. 4. 5 6 7. but Christ Jesus the Lord and our selves your servants for Jesus sake 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 God in the face of Jesus Christ see also Mat. 17. 2. But we have this Treasure in earthen Vessels that the excellency of the Power may be of GOD and not of VS There is a great Mystery lieth hidden in all the Scriptures of Truth which the first man seeth not and knoweth not but it is opened in the Light of the Lord in the glorious face of Jesus Christ to the truly sincere and seeking Soul who loves the Light and hates Darkness I say in this 14 vers of the 22 chap. of 2 King there lieth open a clear Manifestation of the place dwelling of a true Prophet or Prophetess the enlightn'd Mind doth see it in the openings of the Springs of Life in the face of Jesus Christ they see it whose face doth shine as the Sun in his strength and his Rayment is white as the Light O that the vail were taken off all hearts that the eyes of all might be open'd and anointed with Christ's Eye-salve that they may see believe in him and turn to him who rends the vail breaks down the middle wall of partition it is the true Light and Life in man and in woman of Christ Jesus in them that opens all the Mysteries of his Father's Kingdom The King and his Nobles and Hilkiah the Priest had a knowledge of God and his Law by holy History and by Report and Hear-say and they were zealously affected real so far as they did know but Huldah that godly Woman was come to the holy Spirit of Prophesie where she knew and heard the Voice of God immediately and saw him by the seeing of the Eye of her Soul as Job did The King and the Priest and the Scribe and the rest of the King's Counsellors had the outward Book of the Law which was found in the outward Temple open'd unto them But Huldah this godly Women and Prophetess of the Lord had the inward Book of the Law which she had found in ●he inward Temple opened unto her by ●im who openeth the Seals in all Ages even Christ Jesus the Lamb of God the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah the Root and Off-spring of David the bright and morning Star the Light and Life of men I say ●e had open'd the Book of Life unto Huldah and doth open it to all who believe in and follow him both Men and Women They read in the Law and believed it and were humbled before the Lord and their hearts were tendred and they wept and this was and is acceptable with God in its time and place Oh! that this were the case with Kings Nobles and People this day wherein there is as great a Cloud of Wrath hanging over our heads and ready to be poured forth because of our Transgressions Iniquities and Rebellions as ever hung over the heads of Israel in the days of old we are guilty of the like Transgressions and may expect the same Punishments if speedy and unfeigned Repentance prevent it not and it would have been poured out long e'er now but that the Lord waits to be gracious and is calling and hastening People out of Sodom that they be not consumed in the Flames of eternal Vengeance Oh! this Land is guilty guilty let great and small and Persons of all ranks and degrees lay it to heart But to return to our purpose in hand The King and the Priest and the Scribe and the rest read and heard read the Book of the Law written by Moses and others of the Lords Prophets and believed what was written and was humbled before the Lord when they heard of the Wrath denounced because of their Iniquities and Rebellions and this as I said before was acceptable with God in its time and place But men and women are not to stay here nor set up their standard here but they are to travel on till they come to witness deliverance from the Evil against which the Wrath is denounced and till they come to travel beyond the Historical knowledge and hear-say and be made partakers of the Life it self even the Life of the Son of God manifested in their earthen Vessels and they being born again without which they can neither see nor enter the Kingdom of God nor hear the Voice of God in his own Kingdom Huldah was come here and had her dwelling here to wit into the new Birth and here she read in the Book of Life and heard the Word of the Lord And the King and the Priest and ●he rest knew this and therefore was not ●atisfied with what they could learn from ●he Letter of the Law till they went and ●nquired at her who knew the Word of ●he Lord and what effect the Word of ●he Lord through this good Woman had ●pon good King Josiah and the rest you may read 2 King 23. There is one thing more which comes before me which I may not let pass and that is the grievous mistake of the Letter-learned who prosess themselves to be the only men and I verily think believe themselves to be the only men that are endued with Wisdom and Gifts to govern the People and to teach the People the way to the Kingdom of Heaven which Kingdom of Heaven signifieth in Scripture-Language Righteousness Peace and Joy in the holy Ghost Rom. 14. 17 18. For he saith Paul that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of Men. But what Righteousness we have had and how much Peace we have enjoyed under these Letter-learned men's government and teaching let the present Broils and Contentions that are found amongst their Followers and Scholars bear witness You may see in this 14th Verse of 2 Kings Chap. 22. The Translators of the Scriptures call it the Colledge where Huldah that holy Prophetess dwelt they to wit the Letter-learned men imagining that none can be a Prophet but those who have dwelt in their Colledges and are trained up there this Colledge they account their second part their English and Grammer Schools
