the Gazers and Despisers and VVonderers that perish and the blind Sodomites that cannot find Lot's Door for our Door is Christ Jesus and he is the Truth and the Way to the Father and Kingdom of God which none can see except a man be born again and whoever climbs another Way is a Thief and Robber and will be condemned by him to whom all Judgment is committed which stands at the Door read within for its the foolish Woman that is without And a Witness hath God placed in every mans Conscience according to whose Righteous Judgment he will judge the secrets of all people And this is not another then the Universal Light of the Son of Righteousness Christ Jesus who is come with his Fan in his hand and will throughly purge his Floor and is now setting up his true VVorship again after the Night of Apostacy as he spoke The Hour is coming c. this Hour is now come and the Father is seeking true VVorshippers to worship him in the Spirit and in the Truth which was begun Sixteen Hundred Years ago and these onely are the True VVorshippers John 4.23 24. Though in the Times of Ignorance God is said to VVink the Light closed in or not so manifested but now he calls all men every where who are in Darkness Ignorance and VVickedness to Repent and turn at his Reproofs lest they dye in their sins and so never come to enjoy the Soul's Rest which is prepared for the Obedient of which the outward Sabboth was a Figure as all the other of the Temple-VVorship and Sacrifices and Ceremonies were but Types Figures and Shadows and not the heavenly things themselves no more then the Shadow of a man or an Image drawn of him is the very man himself The Substance or Body is Christ as it is written by whom the VVorld was made though the VVorld knew him not he was in the VVorld before Abraham was or Adam either the VVord of God the Truth the true Bread the true High-Priest Temple and Tabernacle the true Prophet the true VVay and true Rest to the Immortal Soul of which living immortal Substance the Lord God expected and waited to see if the people would perceive something beyond all these Shadows and Figures which made nothing perfect as pertaining to the Conscience but they remaining hardened and in the Blindness of their minds understood not Moses and the Prophets though they had their Writings read every Sabboth day and so not-answering the Mind and Will of God but persevering in Sin and Wickedness and depending on those out-side things commanded and settled on their Lets and Name of Profession the Lord raised up and sent his Servants the Prophets to try against them both Priests Rulers and People as being weary of the multitude of their Sacrifices and Services and their Holy Things became Abominable to him the sacrificing a Lamb as if they cut off a Dog's Neck and Oblations and Incense as if they blessed an Idol and offered Swine's Bleed the Life of a Swine this was their state by reason of their gross Hearts and deaf Ears which were hardened and stopped through the Deceitfulness of sin in which they continued so that none truly seek'd after God but were all out of the Way of Peace and true Attonement gross Darkness covered the People the Ox and Ass-knew their Owner and Master's Crib better then they knew their Maker whose Love and render Care was towards them in visiting them that their souls might live for that was the Cry of his Servants beyond all their Profession and Worship Turn ye turn ye why will ye dye and Perish in your Iniquities for iniquity and sin was their Ruin as God fore-warned them of it For that was the cause of his Anger that was kindled against them and of hiding his Face and with-holding Good Things from them Isa 59.1 And this is the same Partition-Wall at this day among all blind hard-hearted poluted Christendom who are rending and tearing about Shadows and devouring one another about fading perishing Things not minding the Mighty Day of God that is now come and coming wherein your Heavens shall be on Fire and Elements melt with fervent heat for it burns like an Oven and the old Earth and its Works must be burnt up Root and Branch This Work is begun amongst ye though the Blind cannot see who have Eyes and see not and Ears and hear not like the old Jews And now thousands of Rams and Ten Thousand of Rivers of Oyl will do no good as pertaining to the Conscience Nay If I should give the First-born of my Body for the Sin of my Soul it would not be accepted 〈◊〉 it s only the Blood of the Son of God the Life as of 〈◊〉 Lamb without Spot and Blemish that can redeem it out of Transgression and reconcile it unto God who had a Body prepared in the fulness of time to end all the outward Sacrifices under the Law through which the New and Living Way was consecrated through the Vail that is to say his Flesh which Vail all blind Professors and Prophane in Christendom cannot yet see through to this day no more then the blind Jews and blind Guides could see the end of Moses and the Prophets words to the Everlasting Priesthood and Worship in the Spirit and in the Truth within the Vail though they had the Scriptures who cannot see to the Beginning beyond the Visibles to the only wise invisible God before Bread and Water and Wine and Books and Priests Lips that Preach for Money and Hire and Gain from their Quarter which the Prophets saw beyond and cryed against and them that bore rule by their Means which was a filthy and horrible thing And Abraham saw Christ's Day before Moses was born And John the Baptist saw beyond the Water to the Fire and Holy Ghost's plunging to the Christ that was before him and to the Fan in his Hand and preferred before him saying He must Increase but I must Decrease Yet John was born outwardly before him and his Ministry a Fore-runner and Signifier of the Day at hand of through Purging and fanning the Chaff from the Wheat by the unquenchable Fire Hear this ye Professors of Christ Jesus who feed upon Husks Can ye believe this Work is now again begun and that Fire can swallow up Water as in dayes of old and that the Elements shall melt with fervent Heat as was Prophesied of and John Baptist decreasing by degrees till there is no Water left to comfort the Soul but of that sort the man in Hell Torment wanted which the true Believer and Abraham and Lazarus had enough of as Christ said He that believeth in me as the Scripture hath said out of his Belly or inmost parts shall flow a River of Living Water which shall be in him a Well of Water springing up unto Eternal Life And he that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood dwelleth in me and I in him and except
