hearts Now you that are stumbling at the light how far short are you of this sure word of Prophesie as a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawning and the day-star arising in the heart 2 Pet. 1. and are not you judging before the time and the Lord will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsel of the heart you that are judging and stumbling at the light are you not found in this condition 1 Cor. 4. and the Sun and the Moon praiseth the Lord and the Stars of light which was made by Christ and you that are standing against salvation Christ Jesus that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that calls this ligh● this salvation a natural light you have not yet seen your selves to be that woman that lighteth a candle to sweep the house and hath found the piece of silver Luke 15. so the Teachers that doth deny the light Christ that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world you are the Ministers of Satan that transforms themselves into an Angel of light 2 Cor. 11. and so you that do deny the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world you l●ghtly esteem the Rock of your salvation which doth enlightlighten every man that cometh into the world Deut. 31. but you are them that lay the h●avie burdens upon the people which makes them haavier not lighter then your fathers as you may read 2 Chron. 10. 1 Kings 12. and see what burdens they laid upon the just they that did transgress but when you come to see the Ang●l come down from heaven that lightens the earth with his glory then shall you know the fall of Babylon then may you come to see the light that lightness every one that cometh into the world Rev. 18. but all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light awake thou that sleepeth and arise from the dead and Christ will give thee light so they that sleep sleep in the night he th●t comes to the day he comes to Christ he is awakened and risen from the dead and witnesseth Christ light he hath enlightned him withal he is arisen from the dead and he is awakened and he sleeps not he is out of sleep and among whom you shine as lights in the world the children of the light that are in the light that doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world they are in Christ these shines as lights in the world these are converted answering the light in every one Phil. 2. That which doth make manifest is light and that which doth reprove is light and all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light for whatsoever doth make manifest is light for every one that doth evil hateth the light and will not come to the light because it will rep●ove him this is the true light that doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world What is the drunkard enl●ghtned and the swearer and the adulterer and the Heathen yea drunkenness is an evil deed and theft is an evil deed and adultery and the murderer and these doth evil and these comes not to the light lest the light should reprove them and these with the light knows they should not do so and this is their condemation saith Christ the light and their works are wrought out of God and these are the children of disobedience now he that loveth the light he cometh to the light and bringeth his works to the light that they may be m●nifest that they are wrought in God and he is not condemned so times of darkness the light not comprehend●d with the darkness and the light shines in darkness and a time of putting light for darkness and this the time when the word hath no place in them and this is the time of the children of disobedienc● the Prince of the power of the Ayr rules i● them this is the time of the unconverted under the power of Satan in the darkness not turned to the light for this is the time that the god of the world blinding the eyes that the light of the glorious Gospel should not shine into them for God having commanded light to shine out of darkness to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God Here the salvation is known the everlasting Covenant is known and and all who denies the light denies the salvation of God to the ends of the earth and him the Prophet Moses wrote which God would raise up which the people should hear which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world which is the Treasury of Wisdom and Knowledge which light being turned to it which comes from Christ which shines in the heart it gives the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ Now the first Priestho●d and his lips was to preserve th knowledge of the people and they was to hear Moses the Jews was which there was a separation between them and the Gentiles the second Priesthood Christ is a light to the Gentiles the Gentiles shall hear him and the Jews shall hear him and this is the Prophet Christ Jesus that Moses wrote of which God would raise up that people should hear and doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that all men might through him believe so they were to hear Moses and he that doth not hear him is to be cut off he goes from the light they that walk in the light have unity one with another G. F. TO all you Professors Priests and Teachers who are in the darkness and knows not the spirit in prison and knows not the light that shines in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it but are the Infidels whom the god of the wo●ld hath blinded to whom the Gospel is hid though they have the four Books yet the Gospel is hid who are now stranging at the work of God and do not believe that Christ hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world so I shall give you some Scriptures to read which will prove the Spirits and try them how contrary they be unto the Apostles spirit Christ and the Saints Christ went ministring to the spirit in prison he that readeth let him understand whether this be a measure of the spirit yea or nay or the spirit without measure which he ministred to for he whom God hath sent speaketh the word of God John 3.34 for God gives not the spirit by measure unto him Here Christ had not the Spirit by measure given unto him and the Apostle Paul said 2 Cor. 10. they would not boast themselves above their measure now here was measure and not by measure and Christ saith who retained not the spirit by measure to his Disciples that he would send them the Comforter the spirit of Truth that he should guide them into all Truth for he shall not sp●ak of himself but whatsoever he

is light and John saith Light shines in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it and the Apostle saith God hath commanded light to shine out of darkness so the light comprehendeth darkness and gives the light of the knowledge of God and the people of God that sate in darkness saw a light and to them that sate in the shaddow of death light is sprung up Here was the unconverted estate and the converted estate when they sate in darkness and the shaddow of death there 's the unconverted but them that was converted light was sprung up but darkness could not comprehend it Matth. 4. but who is come to witness the day Zachary speaks of that the light would not be clear nor dark but at the evening it shall be light This was the day when the living water was to go out from Jerusalem Zach. 14. who sees that which Habakuk saw Hab. 3. the glory of the Lord covered the earth whose glory was his praise whose brightness was as the light and the judgements of the Lord God and his Son are as the light that goeth forth for who acts contrary to the light God who is light his judgements are according to the light and are one with the l●ght and answers the light in every one Hosea 5. Lam. 3. he saw when he was broug●t out of the darkness into the light so there 's a time in darkness and a time out of darkness but he saw each condition who come under that which was transgress●d such as provokes the Lord to anger to such the Lord said he would take away their light of the candle such as transgress the ways of the Lord Ier. 25. but such as hears the word of the Lord they come to witness the state where they shall not need the light of the Sun nor the light of the Moon nor the light of a candle but who transgress the word of the Lord shall want the light of a candle so to the Law and the Testimony if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them Mark how should they when they have transgressed it and loves darkness more then light and are gone from it so gone from the testimony which is the Spirit of Prophesie which is the testimony of Jesus and speaks not according to the word which is light in them so who are gone from the word are gone from the light and where the word is transgressed the light condems them for the light comes from the word Christ whose name is called the word of God which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world and the law is light and here 's the state of darkness where there 's no light in them which comprehended not the light which be in the transgression and there 's the place for the familiar spirit to enter Now if ye say the Letter be the Testimony and the Letter be the Law Isa 7. the Pharisees they had the Letter which stood against Christ the ligh● and they had ●he Law if that be the Law and if that be the word and they stood against Christ the light which had the words of the Law for mark them that have transgressed the light which is the Law they are from the testimony and they are from the light and then there 's no light in them and such was the Pharisees which professed the Scriptures and doth not believe in the light when it was come yet light shines in darkness but darkness doth not comprehend it and there 's that which is dead in sins and trespasses which before conversion must be quickned so the people that have walked in darkness have seen a great light and they that have dwelt in a land of the shaddow of death hath light shined I say and they who transgressed who were from the Law and the Testimony called darkness light and and put light for darkness this was the darkness which could not comprehend it in the Transgression now with the light these were comprehended The Prophet comprehended these who was not in the light and spake not according to the Word th●y spake not according to Christ which the Prophet said that God would give him for a covenant of light to the Gen●iles and to op●n the blind eyes and to bring out the prisoner from the prison and them that sate in darkness from the P●ison-house Ma●k what is the Prisoner must come out here that must come into covenant with God doth not the light come to shine out of darkness here where the Prisoner comes out and is he not in darkness till that I have long held my peace and have been still I w ll bring the blind by a way they know not and will lead them into paths that they have not known I will make their darkness light now you that a e bl●nd cannot comprehend the light such stands against the covenant of God and sees it not that be blind but such now ●he Lord God is come to lead to make darkness light and to lead them the way they have not known Isa 42. Moreover saith the Lord the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun as the light of se●en days Isa 30. and saith the Lord is it a light thing that thou shouldest be as my servant to ra●se up the seed of J cob and to restore the preserved of Israel Mark to restore them here 's Covenant with God I will give thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou mayst be my salvation to the ends of the earth Mark Now you that say h● doth not enlighten every man that cometh into the wo●ld you see not the salvation of the ends of the earth Isa 49. who is among you that feareth the Lord and obeyeth the voice of his servant that walks in darkness and hath no light Mark that walks in darkness hath no light while he walks in darkness what l ght hath he there let him trust in the name of the Lord and stay upon his God then he stays upon the light but if he walks in darkness he goes from the light and whoso feareth the Lord and obeyeth the voice of his servant that will lead him out of darkness into the l●ght Isa 50. and such comes to find the help of God But such as walks in darkness goes from the light and fear of God and stays not upon the Lord and such comes to have no light for darkness cannot comprehend it though light shines in darkness yet darkness cannot comprehend it so they will put light for darkness and darkness for light which is comprehended with the light which reacheth to the light which shines in darkness Darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people Mark cover and light shines in darkness but the Lord shall rise upon thee and his glory shall be seen in thee and the Gen iles shall come to thy light Arise shine for the

light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen then shall thy l ght break forth as the morning and thy light speedily and thy righteousness shall go before thee and the Sun shall be no more thy light by day nor the Moon give light to thee but the Lord God sh●ll be thy everlasting light here 's conversion thy light riseth in obscurity and thy darkness shall be as the Noon-day read that condition here 's conversion again Isa 58. and 60. such as came out of bondage out of captivity out of transgression the Lord had enlightned them and given them a nail in h s holy Place Mark a nail a fastning Mark and read what a nail doth but such as be in the captivity transgression and bondage darkness covering therefore light shineth and darkness comprehendeth it not thou wilt save the afflicted and b●ing down the proud Look thou wilt lighten my candle oh Lord and enlighten my darkness Mark as the afflicted is saved proud looks is brought down the candle is lighted and there 's enlightning of darkness Mark the enlightning of darkness that l ght sees over it Psal 10. and they look'd to the Lord and unto him and were enlightned Mark as there 's a looking to the Lord there 's an enlightning yea which makes the face to shine Psal 34. but looking from the Lord and going from the light and ●ates it he goes into darkness and there he stumbles if it be at Noon-day they were stumbling when Christ was among them the Pharisees the Scribes the Jews which had Scriptures but were darkness and in darkness and the light shined in them but they could not comprehend it and the kingdom of heaven was within them but they were observing it to come Lo here and lo there and of David according to the flesh Christ came said his lightning enlightned the world and the earth saw and trembled Mark enlightned the world you will say he enlightens Saints but his light enlightens the world and the earth saw and trembled Psalm 97. He spread the cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the night Mark who be in the night there was fire to give th●m light in the night to stay upon whereby they m●ght stay upon the Lord which was to the children of Israel which had the figures of the everlasting substance Christ Je us the enterance of thy words giveth light Ma k the entrance of the words of God giveth light it is a true word but you see the Pharisees had the words and the mind that transgressed so they hated the light Christ they that had received the words from others but the enterance of the words received from God giveth light if I say surely the darkness shall cover me even the night shall be light about me yea the darkness hideth not from thee take notice of this but the night shineth as the day the darkness and the light are both alike to thee for the Lord sees over it who is one with the light that shines in darkness Psal 139. ye are the light of the world saith Christ who saith he was the light of the world said his Disciples was the light of the world Mark the light of it a City set on a hill that cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and is giveth light to all that be in the house let the light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your father which is in heaven here they answer the light which every man is enlightned withal that are the light of the wo ld which makes them to glo●ifie their father which is in heaven and think not saith Christ that I come to destroy the Law but to fulfil it Matth. 6. the paths of the just are as the shining light which shineth more and more to the perfect day the way of the wicked is as darkness and they know not at what they stumble at Prov. 4. the light of the righteous rejoyced but the lamp of the wicked sha●l be put out Mark he goes from it who hates light and transgresseth and abideth not in it and so hath not God Prov. 13. the poor and the deceitful man meets together and the Lord lightens both their eyes Now mark here is the poor and the deceitful man ●oth enl●ghtened but he that doth ev●l leaves the light and doth not come to it because his deeds are evil and that is his condemnation And you that say the wicked man is not enl●ghtned the deceitful man is not enlightned you deny the Scripture read Prov. 29. and I say that wisdom did excel folly as light darkness Eccles 2. Mark and know this light and know this wisdom that excels folly and darkness and com●rehends it which gives to see the salvation Christ Jesus the light of the world that doth enlighten every man that cometh in●o the world the Covenant of God to the Jews and Gentiles and salvation to the ends of the earth so he that believes in the ligh● shall not abide in darkness but shall have the light of life and he that believeth in the light shall become a child of light and Christ the Saviour of the world doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world and this light from him will let every man see his salvation which believ●ng in the light receives power to become the Son of God but hating the light it is his condemnation and he doth enlighten all men that c●meth into the world that all might believe this is his end but he that doth not believe is condemned and this is his condemnation the light that light is come into the world mark into ●he world he doth not say altogether in his Saints and men love darkness rather then the light mark men that darkness are in the world and hates the light and doth evil and will not come to the light left his deeds should be reproved but he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be manifest that they are wrought in God Now he loveth darkness because his deeds are evil and every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved mark th●se be of the world and hath these the light yea how should they know their evil deeds else and will not come to the light because the light will reprove them therefore men love darkness rather then the light for every one that doth evil hateth the light and this is his condemnation the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world saith John he doth not say every Saint that cometh into the world but every man and light shineth in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it Now the Apostle writes to the Corinths and told them God had commanded light to shine out of darkness which shined in their hearts which did give them the light
