the obedience to the life of that power by which man was made from which through disobedience he was led by that which said Ye shall be as gods which against God doth stand in that ground which by him is cursed And how can the unsearchable love of the father be uttered with words who so loved the world and his seed in it that he gave his Son to them that asked not for him that by his light may be seen the deceiveableness of the many workings of the powers of darkness in the mind that is darkned which from the darkness to the light is to be turned with the light in the fear to watch against every appearance and first motion of the changeable powers of darknesse which sometimes appeareth as an Angell of light against whose appearance all are to stand armed with the power of him who is the light and to feel the power of the word which is as fire and yet to resist that which the Devil darteth in which is also like unto fire And that the tender simplicity after which my soul breaths may not be betrayed by that which still seeketh to devour and keep from the power of the Cross and turne aside from the narrow way of life in which that all the innocent friends of Christ may be kept to follow the leadings of that which from the God of truth and love and peace to them have come by it to be led out of and from all that which in the truth doth not abide and in the power doth not stand Therefore is this given forth even from the breathings of my life to the pure witness in you all which the changeableness of iniquity doth always stand against the which in Gods living power let all that feel it keep against the other to stand and out of all Satans wiles to be preserved to the end of all that which hath an end that then when time shall be no more you may rest and abide with and in him that is the truth whom the Devil hath nothing in to receive the blessings of the father and the tender mercies of the most high to refresh you and overcome you with the power of his love that it to you all may be the bond of everlasting peace in which with all the humble and faithfull am I bound up and in it with them for evermore do rest Writing the name of my flesh H.

The true and everlasting RULE From GOD discovered AND That which proveth all things published from the spirit of truth to the which Rule the Scriptures also beareth testimony that all the simple and honest-hearted may see what Rule they are to walk by to come to perfect peace and rest with God for evermore With an addition to the former wherein is also shewed what that is in man which is not to be his Guid nor Rule Also a Testimony of the true Prophet who was to come and is come and there was not another his work witnessed and truth declared from a feeling sence and experience according to Scripture Wherein is also shewed that the Prophets of God and Ministers of Christ did preach the light and so those who preach the Light now do therein preach the same doctrine as the Prophets Christ and his Apostles did With an Invitation from the Spirit of Christ The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee of thy Brethren like unto me unto him shall ye hearken Deut. 18. 15. By a servant of the Lord a sufferer for his truth in the house of correction at Winchester in Hampshire called Humphrey Smith LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1658. The true and everlasting RVLE received from God discovered c. that all the simple and honest-hearted may see what Rule they are to walk by to come to perfect peace and rest with God for evermore THE Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life man became a living soul So man was formed of that which was earthly and into that which was earthly that which was living was breathed and that which is living comes from God which is to keep and lead men unto God but man going from that which is living into that which is earthly is thereby led from God and being led from that which is living he is also pleading for another thing then that which is the life to be his Rule and Guide and so comes not to be guided by that which is manifest of God in him Gen. 2. 7. Rom. 1. 19. Now the letter without is not living but the breath of life within is the which living breath man not knowing goeth forth from it to be guided by the letter which killeth 2 Cor. 3. 6. But the holy men of God who walked with God and were obedient to his will and spake forth and writ scriptures from that which was holy in them and were perfect in their generation they were such who came to be guided by that which was living in them and from that men in the dayes of old called upon the Name of the Lord Gen. 6. 28. and they had not a scripture without them to guide them thereunto And Enoch walked with God and so he walked with that which is living and not with that which is earthly neither had he a Scripture without him to be his Rule and so he walking with him who is the life came to be translated that he should not see death Gen. 5. 24 Heb. 11. 5. And Noah who was perfect in his generation found grace in the sight of the Lord consider this he found that by which man comes to be saved for by grace man is saved which grace to all men hath appeared and so Noah found that which bringeth salvation which is the Grace of God in the heart thereby hee came to do Gods will and not by any thing that was earthly nor from a scripture without Ge● 6 8 ● Eph. 2. 5. 8. Col. 3. 15 16. And Noah who found that by which man is saved him God blessed and his Seed and said the fear of you and the dread of you shal be upon every beast of the field and they were to multiply and bring forth abundantly from the living that was within the earth for by that comes the increase of God and with them God established his Covenant so Gods Covenant came to be established with him who found that in the heart by which man is saved Gen. 9. 1 2. 7 8 9. And the Lord who is the one spirit was Abrahams Leader from his Kindred and Fathers house and so Abraham heard that which was living obeyed that which was spiritual who had not a scripture to be his Rule and unto him the Lord appeared and blessed and in the time of grievous Famines he and his Seed was fed Gen. 1● 1 2. and 7 1 9 1● and he that is led by the spirit comes thereby to receive feedings when the Famine comes upon them who are led by another thing and Abraham who followed the Lord was called the Friend of God and he through believing became the Father of many Nations and he saw the day of Christ the light and obeyed the Word which liveth and abideth for ever 1 Pe● 1. 23. and being led by that which is living from his Fathers House and out of his Countrey so by that which is living was he preserved and him God loved and to him afterward the Word of the Lord did come saying Fear not Abraham I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward And Abraham answered the Lord and the seed which God blessed came forth of his Loins who was led by the spirit Gen. 15. 1. Heb. 11. 8 9. And on the contrary Nimrod who began to be a mighty one in the earth he went hunting before the Lord who is the one spirit and now there is that first which is earthly and much earthly wisdom whereby man goeth hunting before the spirit comes the which should not be but man should stand stil and not hunt and see the salvation of God and so receive the spirit to lead or go before him and not to run or hunt before the spirit but let it lead man as it is written As many as are led by the spirit of God are the Sons of God ●om 8. 14. but Nimrod hunted before God who is a spirit he was one of the seed of Ham who was the Father of ●ana●r whom Noah cursed And the beginning of this m●ghty hunters Kingdom was Babel where the Lord whom he hunted before followed after and confounded the language of all the that belonged to this mighty Hunter who was a mighty one in the earth and out of this land of Babel went forth them that built many cities afterwards there was a people whose gods were according to the number of their cities and so see what followeth when man is not led by the spirit of God as Noah was and so preserved but hunts mightily before him being mighty in that which is earthly first he is mighty in the earth then a mighty Hunter then builds a mighty Tower whereby he that is earthly would climb up to heaven this a figure then God confounded the Language and afterwards those that were in

5. 21. and try the spirit and that which proveth all things and tries the spirits comes from the God of the spirits of all flesh and from the word of his power by which all things were made which Word in the heart is as fire which proves tries and refineth things and is quick and powerfull dividing asunder soul and spirit and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart and man feeling that and coming to be guided by that which searches the heart and tryes the reins with that may he try all things and so the Rule which man may try all things by is to be known within for there is one thing in man which will try the many things from the which one thing within the false spirits are gone forth into the world and those spirits of the World and all the world by its wisdome and that spirit which is without knowes not God nor the measure of his spirit within and so those are the false spirits that are gone forth which are to be tryed by that which is not gone forth but abides within and discerns the heart and those that are gone forth from being guided by that within as the holy men were they are like unto Angels who kept not their first estate for man at first was and Holy men were guided by that within which is the word which word is truth and he that abode not in truth which is in the inward parts was a Devil and a murtherer who is called the God of the world that blindeth the mindes and worketh in all the children of disobedience and so the Devils works are in his children and they are talking of the Works of God without them but they that are led by the word of truth that sanctifyeth cleanseth and maketh free by it they come to know the works of the devil destroyed which was in them 1 Iohn chap 3. ver 8 and so he that destroyeth the works of the Devill and maketh an end of sin and bringeth in everlasting righteousnesse is known in all them that are not reprobates and so when sin is made an end of everlasting righteousnesse is brought in and so it 's within and not without and so he being received within who brings that in which is everlasting to that man he is within the hope of glory and shewes plainly of the Father and saith Without me yee can doe nothing it 's not said without scripture ye can doe nothing and they that are without him who teaches all things are without God in the world all they are without him that are not in him nor he in them but he that hath the son hath the Father also and he that hath the Father and the Son abiding in him needs not to goe out from that to be taught or led by any other thing or rule without him as it is written of him that overcometh that he shall no more goe out and upon him that goeth not out the new Name comes to be written and he comes to be a pillar in the Temple of God who goeth not out Rev. 3. 12. and the Name which is better then of Sons and Daughters even the everlasting Name that shall never be cut off is given to them within the house and within the walls even to such as take hold of the Covenant Esa 59. 4. 5 and the Sanstuary is set in the midst of them for evermore Ezek. 37. 26 27 28. and in the midst of them will the Lord spread forth his hands as one that swimmeth Isa 25. 11. and though Ephrain compassed the Lord about with lies and the house of Israel with deceit yet saith the Lord unto Ephraim I am God and not man the holy one in the midst of thee Hos 11. v. 9. 12. And so Ephraim compassed him about with lies who was in the midst and he that was in the midst was holy though compassed about with lies and the just Lord was in the midst o● the filthy polluted and opressing City Zeph ●3 1 2 3 4 5.
