A WORD FROM THE LORD TO ALL THE VVORLD MAN being drove into the earth out of paradise and death having passed over all men the flaming sword turns every way to keep the tree of life death having passed over all men death raigned from Adam till Moses and as there is death within so death speaks and as Christ hath given to every one of you a measure according to your ability and this measure is the light yet one he loves the light and the other he hates the light and this is the condemnation he that loves the light and brings his deeds to the light there is no occasion at all of stumbling this is the light that gave forth the Scripture according as thou art grown up in it thou wilt read them again and this light thou that hatest it thou stumblest because thy deeds are evil thou wilt not bring thy deeds to the light least it should reprove them thou knowest thy deeds are evil this light shews thee there thou hast learned thy condemnation thou knowest thou shouldst not lye be drunk and that thou shouldst not steal nor commit adultery this light will tell thee all this and it will condemn thee and reprove thee if thou love it and bring thy works to it but thy deeds being evil and knowst it will reprove thee therefore thou hatest it and will not bring thy deeds to it therefore this is thȳ condemnation here thou hast learned it when the righteousness of God is revealed through flames of fire upon thee then thou shalt see it is true thou knowest thou shouldst not be proud delight in fashions and customs and follow the world this light will shew thee and let thee see all that is vanity and bring thee sometime to confess it and yet thy heart being hardned and the deceit strong thou rejects and hates that which calls thee to repentance which lyes low in thee and continually calling thee to forsake thy lovers it tells thee thou shouldst not lust nor covet nor thieve it tells thee there is danger to all you thieves and lustful ones and covetous ones it speaks to you and I tell you there will be your condemnation when the book of conscience is opened in your own mouths ye shall be judged therefore take warning when the vengeance of God falls upon you then you will say you had time once when it is past and the plagues of God are poured upon you who hate to be reformed with that in your conscience when God calls you continually to repentance ye hear not his voice but trust in your own fancies and dreams and lying divinations and so hate the light for if you love it it would bring you to repentance and the fear of the Lord and the fear of the Lord is to depart from all sin and wickedness and all evil and all respecting of persons for thou that dost respects not Gods Law which forbids it for he that doth respect persons transgresses the Law and is convinced as a transgressor and commits sin thou that dost not own this light which is according to the Law of God which respects no mans person that in thy conscience if you love it and hearken to it it will exalt God alone ye proud ones at this may stumble but to that in your consciences which should exercise it I speak and this light will bring you to walk in the commands of Christ Christ Jesus saith In all your communications let your yea be yea and your nay be nay for whatsoever is more is evil and swear not at all for that was in the old time the swearing now thou that dost not abide in the doctrine of Christ art of the devil swear not by the head nor by Jerusalem nor by the earth nor by heaven These are great noted things I say swear not by the Bible which is a great noted thing which you swear by now if the Lords oath be performed which he swear by himself then all oaths are put an end to if the high Priest Iesus Christ be owned then all the Priests are put an end to which were true types and figures of him for he that holds up Priests which receive tythes according to the Law and now doth deny Jesus Christ come in the flesh and who loves the light that he hath given them witnesses Jesus Christ come in the flesh but those are they which deny all the Priests that receive tythes for the receiving tythes was in old time though Abraham paid tythes to Melchizedeck who was a figure when Jesus Christ the everlasting Priest was come he put an end to all figures and they and thou that holdst up the figures denyest Christ come in the flesh There was a Temple which God commanded when Christ was come and risen all outward Temples were denyed and we witness one Priest which is over the houshold of God ten thousand witness one Priest which is entred into the holiest and all the Priests and his hirelings are denyed and all such as go after covetousness to make gain of the people are denyed and all such as bear rule by their means and seek for their gain from their quarters are denyed and all such as are called of men Masters and have the chiefest places in the Assemblies are denyed such then who have one Master Jesus Christ to whom all power is given in heaven and earth who masters over all and hath conquered all subdued all raigns over all heaven and earth Judge over all heaven and earth and the mighty day of the Lord is coming God that made the world dwels not in Temples made with hands neither is he worshipped with the works of mens hands Seeing he is Lord of all hath given to all birth and life made of all Nations man of one mould to dwell upon the face of the earth and is coming to fill his with the knowledge of himself to all you that are unlearned outwardly of the letter that cannot read the Scripture outwardly to you I have a word from the Lord to speak which is Christ saith I have given to every one a measure according to their abilicy this is the measure the light which is pure which doth convince
