thoughts words and actions and to be given up in the will of the Lord God in singleness to wait upon him to be refreshed in his holy and everlasting day and to know and witness the acceptable year which the Redeemer of Israel hath proclaimed and is come to make manifest and he that is entred into his rest he also hath ceased from his own works as God did from his But all that continue in sin and Rebellion against God and the murmurers and unbelievers are shut out of the true rest Mat. 12.8 Luke 6.5 Col. 2.16 17.23 Mat. 12.1 Mar. 2.23 Luk. 6.1 Joh. 5.9.10.11.18 Joh 20.19 Acts 20.7 1 Cor. 16.2 Rom. 8.21 Isai 58.13 Heb. 4.10 Rom. 2 8 9. Rev. 21.8 6. Of the brazen serpent that Moses made WHen the people in the time of the first Covenant had murmured against God so that he caused Serpents to come among them and bite them that many of the people died then he caused Moses to make a fiery Serpent of brass which he set upon a pole and behold every man that was bitten with a Serpent if he beheld the brazen Serpent he was cured that he lived but afterward the people idolized this Serpent and it was broken down as the Lord commanded because of their Idolatry Num. 21.6.7.8 2 King 18.4 In the second Covenant is the power of Christ the righteous seed known which bruiseth the Serpents head and taketh away and destroyeth the enmity of the dragon that old Serpent which deceiveth the Nations and this seed giveth power over Serpents that they who are in him may tread upon Scorpions and not be stung and the wicked one cannot touch him that abideth in Christ who is revealed in his people and is the saving health and salvation of his people whose vertue and life hath been manifest of old accompanying the commands of God without which the Israelites could not have been cured when they looked on the Brazen Serpent without which as Moses lifted up the Brazen Serpent in the wilderness so is the Son of man lifted up that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life But they who continue in their hardness of heart in impenitency and unbelief they reject the saving health of Christ and must be plagued for their iniquities and their torment will be as the torment of a Scorpion when he striketh a man Gen. 3.15 Isai 27.1 Luke 10.9 1 Joh 5.18 Joh. 3.14 Rev. 9.4.5 7. Of oathes and swearing IN the first Covenant there was oaths and swearing between man and man for the deciding of controversies and they were to perform unto the Lord their oathes and not forswear themselves and men were to fulfill their vowes also which they made unto the Lord and as appears swearing was not used in all cases of controversies nor by both the parties between whom the controversie was but by the party accused or impeached where they had not witnesses to decide the controversie without oaths for at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established Exod 22.11 Levit. 19.12 Num 30.2 Deut. 6.13 10.20 Num. 35.30 Deut. 17.6 19.15 But Christ Jesus who is the everlasting Covenant of God and the life and fulness of the New Testament said ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time thou shalt not forswear thy self but shalt perform unto the Lord thy oathes But I say unto you swear not at all neither by heaven for it is Gods throne nor by the earth for it is his footstool nor by Jerusalem for it is the City of the great King neither shalt thou swear by the head because thou canst not make one hair white or b●ack But let your communication be yea yea and nay nay for whatsoever is more then these cometh of evil And said the Apostle James above all things my Brethren swear nor neither by heaven neither by earth neither by any other oath but let your yea be yea and your nay nay least you fall into condemnation So that all swearers and all swearing is out of Christ and the Apostles doctrine and every one that sweareth shall be cut off and he that transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God and all that professe a love to Christ ought to abide in his doctrine and keep his sayings And they that love Christ are come out of all the strife and the enmity which causeth the controversies and the swearing unto Christ in whom the Godhead dwells and unto whom all power is given over Angels Thrones and Dominions principalities and powers And if Rulers come to the light of Christ in them they will receive wisdom and power to see an end put to the strifes and controversies without swearing either by the mouthes of witnesses or otherwise by diligent inquisition touching the controversies and by true judgement according to the righteous Law of God Mat. 5.34.35.36 37. J●m 5.12 Zech. 5.3 2 Joh. 9. Phil. 2.3 prov 17.14 Mat. 28.18 Col. 1.16.17 Heb. 1.6 chap. 2.5 8. Of the outward anointing of the Priests IN the first Covenant neither Aaron nor his sons the Priests were to Minister before the Lord in the Priests office without being annointed and consecrated And the ointment they were annointed with was the principal of spices composed after the art of Apothecary of pure mi●he of sweet Cinamon and of sweet Callamous and of sweet Cassia and of oil Olive c. Exod. 30.2 to the 30. verse In the second Covenant God hath a royal Priest and a peculiar people who have received a spiritual and inward anointing from God whereby they are fitted for the Lords service and have dominion over the earth for Christ is their annointing who teacheth them all things that they need noman to teach them which the the outward annointing of Priests was a figure of but none are fitted for the service of God neither are any come to have dominion over sin but who have received the inward unction from the Father of life whereby they become a sweet smelling savour unto God even as a garden of spices knowing the Name of the Lord which is as oyntment powred forth and because of the savour of his good oyntments therefore the virgins love him and a bundle of mirhe is my beloved unto me 1 Pet. 25.9 Rev. 1.6 2 Cor. 1.21 1 Joh. 2.27 Cant. 1.3.13 9. Of the Tithes the Priests received IN the first Covenant the Priests had a command to receive Tythes or the tenths of mens increase onely of their brethren and the people was to give them freely were they more or lefs and the Priests did not take them nor force them from the people by compulsion for the Tythes were the Lords portion And every man was to bring his tenths or the value of them unto a house which the Lord appointed for them to bring the tythes unto wch was the storehouse and the fatherless widowes and strangers was received and relieved out

Disciples into heaven which while some men of Galilee stood gazing they saw Jesus taken out of their sight and that this Christ who was and is the word which made all things which became flesh as is declared who descended from the Father of spirits and life is now ascended and is on the right hand of power and of God who is the All power we have the testimonies both of faithful men and Angels and the life of Jesus in us which is the light of men which beareth witness to these things And all these things concerning Jesus came to passe according to the determinate Councel of God that the Scriptures might be fulfilled though wicked Priests and professors who had the Prophets words and were shut up in the unbelief were fitted in their iniquity as instruments of cruelty to fulfill their iniquity in these hard proceedings against Christ And that these things were true that Christ is ascended and is on the right hand of power Read Ps 68.18 and Psal 110.1 Mar. 16.19 Luke 24.51 Acts 1.9 Eph 4. And whereas after the watchers that were set to watch the Sepulchre where the body of Jesus lay were smitten by the Angel of the Lord and Jesus raised from the dead some of the watch went afterward and told the chief Priests what was done concerning Jesus the chief Priests with the Elders took councel gave large money unto the souldiers that were of the watch saying unto them say ye his Disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept and if this come to the governours ears we will perswade him and secure you so they took the money and did as they were taught and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day Mat 28.11 12 13 14 15. And 't is very likely that through that report are the Jews now perverted who do not believe that Christ is come as the Scriptures have foretold concerning him and for their sakes and the truths I chiefly write these things whether they believe them or not Let that lie upon their own heads but to prove these truths that all aspersions that have been cast upon us touching the denying Christ by the Priests and others have been cast upon us falsely and without a cause I say that all power in heaven and in earth is given unto Christ in whom dwelleth the fulness of the God-head who is ascended up on high yea far above all heavens that he might fill all things and he is God over all God blessed for ever the Judge of quick and dead and moreover his Resurrection was confirmed unto his disciples in this manner when he was risen he gave Commission unto his Disciples to go into all the world and Preach the Gospel in every creature and he said unto them he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned and these signes shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Mar 16.15 and this his promise was fulfilled and confirmed to several that believed who had power given them by Christ to work these things Acts 16.18 Acts 2.4 Acts 28.5.8 these things do testifie that Jesus was risen and that his promise was made manifest who promised to come again and to manifest himself unto them that believed and to send the spirit which was the Comforter and to indue them that waited upon him with power who said he that is with you shall be in you and so the sheep of Christ were scattered to their own to wit his gift which was in them they came to receive and feel his power and spirit to lead them into all truth and this many thousands do and shall witness that the spirit of truth is their leader into all truth and thus though Christ be exalted far above the heavens yet he doth so far condescend unto them that believe in his name that he becomes their leader a light to them that have sat in darkness to lead them out of darkness and a seed to such as have been barren that they may bring forth fruit in him to the praise of his everlasting Name in whom is the life which life is the light of men that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world and Christ said unto his Disciples verily verily I say unto you he that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do also and greater works then these shall he do because I go unto my Father Joh. 14.12 and Christ said unto his Father concerning them that he sent forth as thou hast sent me into world so I send them into the world and thus he made manifest his power and gifts in his people as he doth in this day in these that believe in him for the same power that he gave unto his Disciples the same he giveth unto his servants now according to the several gifts and manifestations committed unto them that they may come to the measure of the stature of his fulness and to a perfect man in him and that they may feel handle taste of and injoy Christ who is glorified in that glory which he had with the Father before the world was and now by his power many do withess that the power of the Serpent the prince of the world is overcome and the sick are healed and the blinde are brought to see and the deaf to hear and the lame to walk and even such as have been dead in trespasses and sins are quickened and raised up and brought to live with Christ in newness of life and such have an interest in the death of Christ being made conformable thereto in that they are crucified with Christ and dead with him to the world and to the evil wayes fashions customs rudiments and conformities of the world so as the the vail of the Temple was rent and the dead was raised when Christ suffered they that feel his power made manifest and with it are brought to suffer with Christ they feel the vail that hath seperated them from his glory rent and in his light are come to see light and in his blood which is his life they are brought to feel life and his witnesss is raised and his seed is come to live as he hath promised the hour is coming and now is when the dead shall hear the voyce of the Son of God and they that hear shall live John 5.25 and this is truely witnessed among many that have believed in the light of the Lord Jesus praises praises to his holy name for ever and ever But they that deny the light of Christ within people to be sufficient to lead them to Christ and will not own Christ within them according to his promise to his but are looking and gazing abroad in their

are corruptible and some have abused and Idolized many things without and corrupted the first Covenant which upheld the carnal things that in their time some upheld in obedience to God but they did but signifie or figure forth greater things which are comprehended in the everlasting Covenant of life and light which cannot be comprehended nor discerned by the carnal mind nor by natural men And things unutterable doth the Lord reveal to them that walk in his way the light of his Covenant which the world cannot Idolize or corrupt though outward things they may corrupt and in no other way can the presence of the Lord God be known nor the life of his law and Covenant be revealed and made known but by the light of his own Son which shineth in the hearts which he that believes and walkes in is blessed for he feels a living way an acceptable sacrifice and offering which is offered by the eternal spirit And now the light and spirit of the Lord Christ is Gods way wherein he will be obeyed worshipped and honoured and this is the way to the everlasting righteousness and salvation of God who is the everlasting Temple in his City in whom his seed shall find rest and solemnity And this is the life the wisdom and power which brings to see over all the world and over all temporal things and no way will please the Lord but his own way which is his light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world and thus God hath given his Son for a way for a light for his salvation for his Covenant to his people that his glory may be known and his Name may be published and known to the ends of the earth both among Jewes and Genti●es who thirst after his righteousness which never hath an end Thus I have according to truth discribed unto the Jewes and professors the end of the Law of Commandments contained in Ordinances and the end of the figures and the shadowes as the Apostle Paul did to the Hebrewes or Jews of old that were upheld in the first Covenant that they that would receive life and salvation may see the way to the heavenly treasury and to the good things of God that will minister to the soul But the way into new Jerusalem the City of the living God the mother of the righteous all the workers of iniquity are out of it and nothing that works abomination or maketh a lie must enter into the City of the living God and no unclean thing must dwell there for the Lord God and the Lamb is the Temple the light and the glory thereof from whose wrath mountains and hills cannot cover the wicked for he is the fulness and the sum of all whose presence filleth heaven and earth he is infinite incomprehensible invisible eternal the heaven of heavens cannot contain him who can receive or discern any of the secret council of our great God But he that feareth his name and walketh in his light who is led by the spirit of light and truth which leadeth into all truth Holiness to the Lord our God for ever for he is in his Son Christ and Christ is the light that enlighteneth all men and women and Christ is God over all through all and in all God blessed for ever he is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the End the first and the last Blessed are they that do his Commandments that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in thorow the gates into the holy City for without are dogs sorcerers and Whore-mongers and Murtherers and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie and no such can enter into the City of God but the upright and the faithful who are clothed in righteousness and walk in their integrity they have accesse into the City of God and they shall praise him in the light of his countenance among the living who have right unto the Mysteries of life and salvation who know that worthy is the Lord our God to be glorifyed and to Reign Allelujah to the most high for ever and ever Amen This was written from the spirit of the Lord God G.
