him in the sepulchre For when Israel fell he made every serpent to bite them and they died because the transgression in Eve was by the serpent that he might reprove them and convince them that for their transgression they were delivered up to the anguish of death In the end though Moses had commanded that there should be no molten nor graven image amongst them for a God he made one to shew the type of Jesus For Moses made a serpent of brass and placed it gloriously and by Proclamation called the people They coming together intreated Moses that he would pray and make an offering for them that they might be healed Then Moses said unto them When any of you shall be bitten let him come to this serpent set upon a pole and let him hope believing that though it is dead it is able to give life and he shall be immediately healed and they did so In this thou hast the glorie of Jesus ●or all things are in him and to him What saith Moses again to Jesus the Son of Naue giving him being a Prophet this Name That all the people should hear him only because the Father would reveal all things touching his Son Jesus to the Son of Naue And when he gave him this Name and sent him to search the Land He said Take a little book in thine hands and write what the Lord saith Because the Son of God in the last days will cut up all the house of Amalek by the roots Behold again Jesus not the son of man but the Son of God but manifested by a type in the flesh And because they would say that Christ is the son of David he fearing and understanding the errour of sinners saith The Lord said to my Lord Sit on my right hand until I make thy enemies thy footstool And again Esaias saith in this manner The Lord said to Christ my Lord I have holden his right hand that the nations may hear him and I will break in pieces the power of kings See how David calls him Lord and the Son of God But let us see whether this people be the heir or first people and whether the Testament be ours or theirs Hear now what the Scripture saith concerning this people Isaac prayed for Rebekah his wife because she was barren and she conceived afterwards Rebekah came to enquire of the Lord and the Lord said unto her Two nations are in thy womb and two people in thy bowels and one people shall prevail over the other people and the Elder shall serve the Younger Ye ought to be sensible who is Isaac and who is Rebekah and which of the two he hath demonstrated to be the Elder people this people or that And in another Prophesy he saith Jacob spake more plainly to Joseph his son saying Behold the Lord hath not deprived me of thy presence bring thy sons unto me that I may bless them And he brought forth Ephraim and Manasses desiring that the blessing might be given to Manasses because he was the elder and he set him on the right hand of his father Jacob. But Jacob saw in the spirit a type of that people which should be And what follows And Jacob changed his hands and put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim the second and the younger and blessed him And Joseph said to Jacob Put thy right hand upon the head of Manasses because he is my first-born son And Jacob said to Joseph I know it my son I know it but the Elder shall serve the younger yet he also shall be blessed See which of these he hath appointed to be this first people and heir of the Covenant Yet further let it be remembred that through Abraham we have a greater perfection of our knowledge Therefore what saith he to Abraham That because he believed it was counted to him for righteousness Behold I have made thee a father of nations which should believe in the Lord through uncircumcision But let us now enquire whether he hath performed the Covenant which he sware to the fathers to this people He gave it but they were not worthy to receive it by reason of their sins For the Prophet saith And Moses was fasting in the mount Sinai fourty days and fourty nights that he might receive the Covenant from the Lord for the people and he received of the Lord the two tables written with the finger of the Lord's hand through the spirit and when Moses had received them he brought them down to deliver them to the people And the Lord said to Moses Moses Moses go down quickly for thy people have transgressed which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt And Moses understood that they had made them molten idols and he cast the tables out of his hands and the tables of the Covenant of the Lord were broken Moses indeed received them but they were not worthy Learn now how we received them Moses received them as a servant but the Lord himself gave them to us who suffering patiently for us was made manifest that they might be consummate in their sins and we might be the people of the inheritance and receive the Covenant by the heir Jesus Christ The Prophet saith again Behold I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles that thou maist be for salvation to the ends of the earth saith the Lord God who redeemed thee who was prepared for this very thing that he making discoverie of our evils destructive to death and how wholly we were given up to the transgression of errour might deliver us from darkness and put his Covenant in us by the Word For it is written how that the Father commanded him to redeem us from darkness and to prepare for himself an holy people Therefore the Prophet saith I the Lord thy God have called thee in righteousness and I will hold thy hand and will strengthen thee and I have given thee for a Covenant to the nations and for a light to the Gentiles to open the eyes of the blind and to deliver those that are in bonds those that sit in darkness from the prison-house Know therefore how we were delivered and redeemed Again the Prophet saith The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me and sent me to preach the glad tidings of grace to the humble to heal the broken-hearted to preach liberty to the captives to open the eyes of the blind and to call an acceptable year of the Lord and a day of retribution and to comfort all that mourn It is also written concerning the Sabbath in the Ten words wherein he spake in the Mount Sinai face to face to Moses And ye shall sanctifie the Sabbath of the Lord with pure hands and with a pure heart And in another place he saith If their sons shall keep my Sabbaths then will I put my mercy upon them He calleth it a Sabbath in the beginning of the Creation And God made in six days the works

of his hands and finished upon the seventh day and rested on it and sanctified it Sons observe what he saith when he saith He finished in six days This he saith That God the Lord will finish all things in six thousand years for a day with him is a thousand years He himself witnesseth it saying Behold this day A day shall be as a thousand years Therefore Children in six days in six thousand years all things shall be finished And he rested on the seventh day This he saith When his Son coming shall finish the works of his time and shall judge the ungodly and shall change the Sun and the Moon and the Stars th●● he shall rest honourably upon the seventh day In fine this he saith Thou shalt sanctifie it with pure hands and a pure heart Therefore how can any one now sanctifie the day which God hath sanctified unless he be of a pure heart in all things Let us not be deceived For if he resting gloriously doth sanctifie it we being just and doing just things shall be able to sanctifie it when we have received the Promise of iniquiti● ceasing all things being made new by the Lord. Then we shall be able to sanctifie i● when we our selves are first sanctified Afterwards he saith to them Your new Moons and your Sabbaths I cannot away with See how he saith That the Sabbaths which are now are not acceptable unto me But in that he rested he made all things which he had made the beginning of the eighth day that is the beginning of another world Therefore we observe the eighth day with ●●a●rity of mind whereon Jesus rose from the dead and being manifested ascended up into the heavens I shall moreover speak unto you concerning the Temple How they being in miserie did erre in their hope upon the way for they did not hope in the God of the Temple who made them but in the Temple as being the House of God for almost like the very heathens they confined him within the Temple but learn what the Lord saith making void the Temple Who hath measured the heavens with his palm and the earth with his fist Is it not I saith the Lord. Heaven is my throne and the earth my footstool what house will ye build unto me and what is the place of my rest Know that theirs is a vain hope After this he saith again Behold they who destroy this Temple shall themselves build it It is done For when they warred it was destroyed by the enemies and the ministers themselves of those enemies shall build it Again he hath opened How the City and people Israel should be delivered up For the Scripture saith And it shall be in the last days That the Lord will deliver up the sheep of the pasture and their fence and their tower to destruction And it is come to pass as the Lord hath spoken Therefore we shall enquire whether there be a Temple of God There is where he saith he would make and finish it For it is written It shall be when a week is finished that the Temple of God shall be built glorious in the name of the Lord. Therefore I find that there is a Temple But how shall it be built in the name of the Lord Learn Before we believed God the dwelling of our heart was corrupt and weak as a Temple built truly by the hand for the house was full of Idolatry by Idolatry it was the house of devils so that we did whatever was contrary to God But it shall be built in the name of the Lord. Learn that a glorious Temple of the Lord shall be built But how Learn we receiving remission of sins and hoping in the name of the Lord were made anew and created again as from the beginning So that in our house that is in us God truly dwelleth How The word of his Faith the calling of his Promise the wisdom of his judgements the commands of his doctrine he himself prophesying in us he himself dwelling in us opening to us the gates of the Temple who were before the servants of death that is opening that mouth which gives repentance to us hath brought us into the incorruptible Temple And he who desires to be saved minds nothing but him dwelling in him admires nothing but him speaking in him desires to hear nothing but the words spoken from his mouth This is the spiritual Temple built unto the Lord so far as he would in power and simplicity manifest it unto us My Soul hopeth with desire that I have omitted nothing convenient for you and conducing to Salvation If I should write unto you of things future ye would not understand me because they are shut up in Parables but these things are so Let us now pass over to another kind of knowledge and doctrine There are two ways of doctrine and power either of Light or of Darkness and great is the difference of these two ways Over one are appointed the Angels of God the Ministers of light Over the other the angels of Satan over the one is the Lord from ages to ages over the other the prince of the time of iniquity The way of light is this If a man would walk to the place designed he will make haste by his works Therefore Knowledge is given to us that we may walk in it which is this Thou shalt love thy Maker Thou shalt glorifie him who redeemed thee from death Thou shalt be simple in heart and being rich in the spirit thou shalt not joyn thy self with those who walk in the way of death Thou shalt hate to do that which is not pleasing to God Thou shalt hate all hypocrisie Thou shalt not forsake the Commandments of the Lord.

Thou shalt not desire thy neighbours goods nor be a covetous person Thou shalt not adhere in thy soul to proud persons but be numbred amongst the just and humble Thou shalt embrace temptations when they happen as good things Thou shalt not be of a double mind nor a

life God speaks again unto them as concerning these things saying Wherefore do ye fast Isai 58. to me that your voice may be heard on high as this day I have not chosen such a fast nor a day for a man to afflict his soul neither shalt thou bow down thy neck like a bulrush nor spread sackcloth and ashes under thee nor shall ye call this an acceptable fast But to us he saith thus When ye shall fast Loose every bond of iniquitie dissolve the obligations of violent contracts set the oppressed at libertie make void every injurious obligation break thy bread to the hungry bring the poor that are without shelter into thine house when thou seest the naked clothe him and hide not thy self from thine own flesh then thy light shall break forth as the Morning and thine health shall spring forth speedily and thy righteousness shall go before thee the glorie of the Lord shall be thy rereward Then shall thou call and the Lord shall answer thou shall cry and he shall say Here I am if thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking Vanity and shall give thy bread to the hungry with all thy soul Therefore in this brethren God is provident and merciful in regard the people whom he hath acquired to his beloved should believe in simplicity and he hath shewn to all us that we should not run as Proselytes over to their Law And it concerns us to write much of the things in hand which cannot heal Let us flie every work of iniquitie and hate the errour of this time and love things future Let us not give libertie to our soul nor suffer it to wander with most lewd men and sinners For the trial is consummate as it is written as Daniel saith it is at hand For this cause doth the Lord divide times and days that his beloved may hasten to his inheritance So saith the Prophet Ten kingdoms shall reign upon the earth Dan. 7. and a little king shall arise who shall depose three into one Concerning the kingdoms and this very thing Daniel saith again I saw a fourth beast dreadful and terrible and exceeding strong having ten horns and another little horn grew up in the midst of them before whom there were three of the first horns pluckt up by the roots Therefore we ought to understand and I intreat you again as one of you loving you above mine own life that ye would take heed unto your selves and that ye would not be like unto those who heap up their sins and say That their Testament is also ours But ours it is for they have for ever destroyed that which Moses received For the Scripture saith And Moses was in the mount fasting fourty days and fourty nights and he received the testament from the Lord the tables of stone written with the hand of God But they being turned unto idols destroyed that for the Lord saith to Moses Go down quickly for thy people which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt hath transgressed And Moses cast the tables of stone out of his hands and their Testament was broken that the love of Jesus might be signed upon your hearts unto the hope of the faith of him Therefore let us give heed unto the last days for all the time of our life and faith shall profit us nothing if we do not endure unjust things and future temptations as the Son of God saith Let us resist all iniquitie and hate it Consider therefore the works of an evil life Ye ought not to separate your selves as being justified but meeting together in one to enquire what may be in common profitable and convenient for the beloved For the Scripture saith Wo to those who are wise in Isai 5. their own eyes and prudent in their own sight Let us being spiritual be made a perfect Temple to God as much as in us lies Let us meditate upon the fear of God and endeavour to keep his Commandements that we may rejoyce in his judgements The Lord accepting no mans person judgeth the world every man shall receive according to his deeds If he be good his goodness goes before him if wicked the ways of his wickedness follows after him Take heed lest at any time being called and at ease we do not fall asleep in our sins and the wicked one getting power over us do not awake us out of our sleep and exclude us from the Kingdom of the Lord. Understand a little more Having seen the great signs and wonders among the people of the Jews and that the Lord doth so leave them therefore let us take heed lest happily we be found as it is written Many called few Matt. 22. chosen For this cause the Lord endured to deliver up his body to death that we might be sanctified by remission of sins that is through the sprinkling of his bloud For it is written of him to the Jews and to us in this manner He was wounded for our transgressions Isai 53. bruised for our iniquities by his stripes we were healed He was led as a sheep to the slaughter and as a lamb before the shearer dumb so opened he not his mouth Therefore we ought exceedingly to rejoyce in the Lord because he hath shown unto us things past and hath made us wise neither are we without understanding of things to come But he saith The net surely is spread in vain in the sight of any bird This he saith in regard that that man shall justly perish who hath knowledge of the way of truth and yet will not refrain himself from the dark way Moreover the Lord endured to suffer for us and yet he is the Lord of the world to whom he said upon the day before the world was consummate Let us make man Gen. 1. according to our image and similitude Learn therefore how much he endured who would suffer this from men The Prophets having the gift from him prophesied of him and he that he might abolish death and make manifest the Resurrection from the dead endured because it was necessary for him to appear in the flesh that he might make good the Promise to the Parents And preparing a new people by his being upon the earth he declared by making a Resurrection the judgement and in the end by teaching and doing great signs and wonders he preached to Israel and dearly loved him Then he chose proper Apostles who should preach his Gospel who were sinners above all sin that he might shew that he came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance Then he manifested himself to be the Son of God For had he not come in the flesh how could men looking on him have been saved For the Sun which is the work of his hands men cannot look directly upon with their eyes intent upon the beams of it Therefore the Son of God came in the flesh that he might
