Wisdome to the wise and Councel to the foolish ones The simple he will teach in his way and the arogancy of the proud he will contemn Now brethren I would not have you ignorant of what was the glory of the Gospel in the truth of it I tell you that the true Gospel is not onely talkative as mans creation doth give it a being but the true Gospel is active in goodness now this acting goodness must be inquired into and found out what it is and every one be an example unto others acting therein Brethren it is round the definition is strange truly my brethren I say as Peter and Iohn said going into the Temple Such as I have I give unâ—o you But I shall open unto you as the unfoldings are opened unto me the Gospel of Christ is round the acting goodness is and must be round now I shall draw the embleme The world is round the Gospel is round the soul of man is round now all these are in every man and woman under heaven the soul Gospel and the world But the true meaning must be understood First the soul is round else the world and its creation could not hold its figure in competency with it in its adherency The Gospel is round and that holds in competency with the soul but it being last takes the first state and subdues all for minde first a world then man then the Gospel and then comes goodness righteousness from what from neither world nor man but from the Gospel now my brethren this is a strange metaphorical expression but t is a true assertion Now here comes the true decipheration and from this decipheration comes the clear definition Now comes the clear view that brethren you may apprehend every one of your standings whether you are upon the Gospel built or upon mans foundation that is mans defending his actions by the name Gospel and speaking of the spiritual intentions of the Gospel Now mind before the Gospel comes to any know that there is a world and man in this world acting a oneness or an agreeableness in one thus man sees something in the world that hath a seeming beauty unto which his understanding is subdued upon this subdument there is an oneness in love betwixt the worldly things and man the world loves her own that is Christs words Now upon these two yet one comes the Gospel and that doth illustrate into the soul a far greater beauty of loveliness Now here begins mans trouble being wedded to the worldly appearances the present enjoyment holds fast the beams of the Gospel begin to heat both these as man and the world now the Gospel being Gods strength never loses its end My word shall effect the end whereunto it is sent saith the Lord. Now beloved here is the contest begun betwixt the world-man and man-world both being one by reason that the world hath eonquered the understanding of man and so man hath yeelded up his all unto the world for know the world cannot yeeld up unto man because of its majority but man yeelds himself to the world by reason of his minority and smallness of competencie comparatively now upon these two yet one and again two and yet again all made one by the Gospel so then the trine is erected in terra in earth when the Gospel is planted then comes this Motto in truth Thy will be done in earth as it is heaven nay then the will of God is done in earth as it is in heaven which is world-man man-world made obedient to the Gospel But to open their circumferences t is thus The world round the soul of man round the Gospel round thus I prove man word and world all round and all in Trines the greatest mystery that ever was wrote therefore mind First know that God created the round world whose consistance is of earth the influentives of the celestial bodies and the life operation in the sun subâ— Deus under God this is the first trine or the Basis for man now man in his Trine is this soul spirit and body Now I come to show how these Trines in their tinctures hold together First the earth that is Masor orbis the great world now God said as the Text is rendred God made man of the dust of the earth so there is a oneness in the earth and in the body of man now here comes the deceit Every thing loves his own so man must by that rule love the earth he was made on for in every oneness is an entireness loving it self for man and woman being in truth so love one another by reason of the true oneness in them if they be truly one which in truth of description ought to be so much for the body of man and the pondrous or massie body of the earth Now I come to the influences of the celestial bodies and know that they are placed in mans connexions which is millions as in the earth for these celestial bodies hold more the truth of figure then the earthly bodyes can for know the more nearer the spheres you come the more spiritual you must be for let me tell you the descent from them spiritual bodies are the livening living in this gross terrestials so know there is a perfect oneness in the celestial influences thus the influences causes all products in earthly appearances as the spirit of man Now mind I state the soul the first in man the last in God proved thus God made man and breathed in him the breath of life and he became a living soul I beseech you mind Man dies and the spirit or soul returns to God that gave it I pray you mind first man was made and then life was breathed which life was the whole all that erected the fabrick of man the fall of this sabrick or man dying the spirit returns to God that gave it Now mind here is the error know God withdrawing is mans disceasing for mind the Text runs as though man did die and then God did receive that Text gives glory to man and lessens the glory and strength of God for Gods withdrawing in that appearance is the cause of deceasing so let God have his preheminence as Paul saith Let God be true and every man a liar so brethren the truth lies not in names but in things not as they are said to be and reported to be but as they are in the substance and substance hath its center Now brethren the soul is one with the Gospel nay if you can say properly a true soul I will swear that is true word and Gospel for 't is the living life of God in you bringing your natural man to act in obedience into spiritual righteousness declared in life and conversation by distributing acts of mercy and relief to thy own Members that is of Christs body Now what is Christs body temporal I affirm it is the whole creation and in that all men and women Christ saith Love thine enemie love him

To the Reader Friends and Enemies BEloved whereas in my first Book Theous ori I did promise unto the world speedily the second part being then wrote for both the first and second were wrote in one scene of light but by reason of my false imprisonment for writing the Copy and the tossing from one Prison to another two of the Copies I could not finde until now lately wdich were in a friends hand these things with other necessities which were laid upon me was the cause that I could not discharge my promise Now thus much I do protest before God and his holy Angels I was forced to write I neither understood nor knew what I wrote and when it was wrote I could not rest till it were delivered unto the people Now what I thus wrote Captain Robert Norwood did read and by his wisdome dispute but I would not have you for to conclude a oneness in us two for what the Captain hath done or doth that is upon his account and what I have done and what I do that is upon mine account for when I was a child I held by any thing but now childishness is departed and counsel is established on her Throne as a short time will manifest Now let the wise and prudent weigh in their secret and juditious judgements and I leave it to the whole to consider what they could cast me in prison for it will appear mad Rage in them if they have condemned me for the things they understood not but blessed be the Lord who now hath given me understanding in the book and without the book that I in my Masters name Jehovah do challenge the whole Clergie in the world to dispute in any created appearance or any

The English is this The mercy or the saved do sing Halilujah in the living voice of Angels in the thing so you see God his mercy in creating his mercy in receiving his created that very mercy doth praise God so in short Gods mercy doth praise himself take one place of Scripture I do not bid you beleive me nor it but stand upon your owne centre the words are these Thy works praise thee O God and we will sing unto thy Majesty Now I did bid you not believe me nor it How because I would not deceive you nor have you deceived and John the Baptist my Brother spoke the same words in the import when he said I baptize you but with water but there is one that will baptise you with fire and the holy Ghost John knew he was but a sound or a voice and knew that a voice or sound hath no centre but is a composure abstracted of aire which is but a lye or nothing that is all that man can teach but the reason that I bid you not believe me nor the place cited it is because I would not deceive your manhood for the manhood will gather together a stock of names and words of queries and answers and notions which is all but a Lye till the Spirit of the Lord be come and cast forth that dark deceit and Christ erect his owne glorious light So I would intreat you becarefull that ye accept not a sound for the substance Now I know that Gods light shall unvail all these things unto you that the true truth in the thing may be illustrated for Christ coming is like Fullers-sope or the Refiners fire this I know and have selt and from the true knowledge in me I speak though it be in me and in you a truth in the heart or foul yet that you and I both and all people speak it is 〈◊〉 but Lye in the mouth for in the heart is wrote Digitus Dei that is the finger-writing by God himself you speak what is done and from that true root in the soul yet know your voice is but a sound from the thing and is not the thing and a sound is a Lye and not a substance for t is but a name of and from the thing and not the thing I instance thus a signe or picture of a man is not a man therefore in the true propriety of true speech it is no more nor no less then mans Lye Now to come to the Devil he hath a Trine figurative the celestial Trine temporal as thus the Devil envy and man make up one temporal Trine thus the Spirit in man nay mans spirit is a Devil and the strange birth that is brought forth of Devil-man or Man-devil it is Envy Now that word Orga it is a Caldee word but it is the properest word to hold in truth the coherency but thus this word Orga is envy and this evy is the Devil man in man from man and by man and against man and this is envy in man or the Devil envy man or man-devil Now to come to state the connexion that exhales and draws the conjunction together in this Trine it is thus I beseech you mind Non serte pele esse this is a Latin state though Pele be the ancient Orthodoxal word in the Greek tougue Now the English is thus much Not sure nor certaine being or thus no certaine being not sure this is a strange state but we must have stranger yet before we can find out this Apollyon that hath inbondaged us unto his strange being that is so strange that it hath no
centre and not to be found out Now let me speak if all Languages can finde him out or all Arrs or all Sciences or Earth Aire Fire or Water I shall reach him if he can be found Non ocare in acaos in re Here is another state more harder then the other let me tell you The light in knowledge doth finde out the Devil or the true knowledge doth out the Devil but to open the fore-cited state it is thus the English minde all you curious quick wits while I define unto you this deceivng Devil the English of the stated Greek maxim is this Not the lightest in confusion in the thing Sed oculus in ve alli nen But the eye in life sees no Devil or darkness but it is a severation from light that is a composure of dark and seeming light and this is Hell or Devil Quando in operati avaret nel medad al in re sem addi aal oli abbit sole toro oâ—abit al beneam sabat The English is this When in work he varieth then the eye sees the Cave or Hell but the high thing sees no Devil but himself for he and his sight sees no evil or darkness or devil Solat arry absadet ve The English is this The safe strength evadeth the Lye I have gone thus far in this scarch and cannot finde a composed Devil that is a substance and that substance a place of residence Quoas amalum sarbat alu alaous in amarere semer allat vel nede mem in re sabat altra nebat The English is How or why doth light discover the Lye Why it is the beauty of his owne transcendencie The darkness is a shade for light Wherein it doth it self delight Thus if truely understood Then the Devil is viewed But to let the state downe thus God in his Essence before he came forth in created appearances was all light and Gods vailing himself in earthly appearances hath eclipsed as it were to the heighth of our expression his glory in his Essential Essence in his created derivative appearances so that the light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehendeth not the light but the light illustrating causes a banishment of darkness then there is no Devil not Death but a dayly Resurrection in glory into the pure and divine being which is God in and with us a derivative yet one in the all light Essencie which is Teri-al But to come to state this envy Devil and man all in one Trine thus man is the Devil thus the Spirit in man is the Devil and that by reason of the abstract it was abstracted from it is quick and fugitive and lusteth to envy nay t is envy and envy is the Devil Semus in ar I-in-e it is the alone lustful deceit in man for know whatsoever centereth not in God is a Devil for in the reducement there is as the whole Church called in England for know it is but a called Church and call is but a Ly and not the thing they all hold only that in the reducement that we must go either to Heaven or Hell unto God or unto the Devil and these two are as it were Paymasters as God the Father of mercy and the Devil the Father of envy Now you that are not in God ye must be and are in the Devil thus the Devils Trine made and upheld thus the Spirit of man is mans proper all thus it is the life of man as he is natural man until that spiritual light hath made it one by inlightning it and so it obeying that light there is an union made in one and so all one in union with that glorious Essence it was descended from for the darkness is unvailed and light hath caused obedience so that the day and night are both one and night is gone in that clear day Now the Devil his Trine is thus the Devil is the Serpentine Spirit in man that opposeth the light of God and while that Spirit is uncast forth man is wholly ruled by the lusts of the Devil and his acts are in darkness in all deceivea bleness in unrighteousness for Satan and he is one Minde Chirsts words to Peter Get thee behinde me Satan then Peter was the Devil acting in that dark Spirit or dark light Now how can it be properly said to be a dark light thus the light is life and the darkness is death therefore where darkness resides in predominacie then a dark light but the word runs thus they shall be cast into utter darkness Quande avalet armi assem pele avaret axzi pele Ethrati leget almae amaset doly The English is this But the state is dark for it is the denotation of Hell and you hold it all of you to be dark then minde this is a dark state for it is Greek because the major language lies in the Greek tongue and the other languages are but conjuncts to the Greek and from the Greek tongue this great deceivable Devil was clustrated though what he is and where he dwels all men that have said they have been Christs Embassadours could never define to this day Now I English the dark fore-cited state mind When the contrary receives strength the light is eclipsed and the light increasing darkness vanisheth away and flyeth in his airy Kingdome of which Kingdome he the Devil is Lord predominate for the light causes his combinement to his airy Region Now to be Priest-like as you call him though the holiness in all men I honour and holiness in man or men that is the true Priest and not prating man but holy acts from the true root that is a demonstration that the true Priest dwels there minde these words for ye shall all be Kings and Priests unto God but he that nameth Christ must depart from every evil way Now you say man cannot think a good thought then know he cannot turne from his evil way it is granted but to come close where the evil way is not departed from that man hath but prated and never heard Christ preach in them words are included both the called Priests and people for if the Priest be not turned he prateth Christ never preacheth in him and Christ never sent none but he preached in him first and by their voice they sounded forth to the people all this is nothing yet for the Devil may and doth speak as high in expressing words of godliness as any in light can do but when you come to search the root it is but a sound and not a doing or reforming to that that was spoken for Brethren until you are doers you are Devils and lyers I will give you one more It is not he that heareth my words saith our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ but he that doth my will that man or woman or both are my Disciples but the same that the Spirit did denote to my brother John the Baptist the same confer I unto your capacity to judge of upon whom thou
and woman them names and spelling and much invention of man interwoven in the named Scripture Now the word of God written upon the soul that is the Scriptum est that is it is written in the Spirit what is that that is written it is this holiness unto the Lord written in thy soul by tha finger of God that is it that shall stand thee in stead and not what is writ in another or by another or what another shall write for let me tell thee O thou man and woman where and when God writes that then the false conception in man or woman ceases which power is in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as he is a Saviour and not in them dead names called Gospel or Scripture that doth only name a name of his saving us but it is his substance without name that doth save us and deliver us So beloved I would not have you deceived with the dead name but the desire of my soul is that you with my owne ingraftement may be placed in the true thing which is God the Lord. Now Beloved I walking and thus acting know that that you in me count blasphemy is a glorious declarative of truth in righteousness from that ingraftment which is Christ in the soul it is greater then your calling the letter the word of God and the holy Gospel of Christ Now let me tell you that though you see and understand it not Paul said and testified what I have declared and prove me in this point a blasphemer and you must prove Paul a blasphemer This I prove I say that the name is not the thing but a sound from the thing a sound is not a substance anso by consequence a Lyâ— and nothing but an abstract of ayr Paul saith that the better is dead and death killeth What odds is there betwixt Pauls words and mine in this state thus Paul may name or plant and Apollo may water but God giveth the blessing Now if the letter be dead know then all men it is a Lyâ— I prove it thus Things in death or dead are not lively for or what is dead there is but a name and a name is but a Lye for the substance there is withdrawn into the thing which is the life of all things and the name is but the dead ashes of that appearance Judge ye all people is the name life Is it life as thus to illustrate I say I will give such a thing unto such a one that is but name and it is good to the party when it is done that is received from the giver So all names are a lye till â—one be centred in that named name that is the thing spoken of or promised be wholly really performed unto the promised So you see all names are nothings and when the substance is come the promised name is returned into the acted thing Now draw all into one Maxzim it is thus God is the thing of all things and thing is as proper to denote the excellentest union as any word in any or all languages I tell you it is a higher import in the Ori Abba then JEHOVAH You cannot nor must not tell me though you speak from your received opinion what the highest denotation is in any one Language or Tongue for I know all Tongues and Languages and they are but one lighted life in the VE But brethren know God is the Life and all things are but names issued out from that one Life do but reduce them dead names to the living thing then they are not dead names as they were but living things in the thing that state lies dubious and so it shall stand unrefined yet Now Pauls words were the very same for saith he The letter killeth and the name is dead but the word of God abideth for ever turning all things and planting and transplanting all things according to its own pleasure Now the word of God endureth for ever because it is the life on whom all dependances dependeth but death that is all names are but a Lie and nothing but vanity in appearances So you see that a name is not the thing neither is the written insert called the Scripture the word of God for Gods writing is not upon paper but in the heart and spirit of his chosen ones So brethren deceive your selves no longer with that dead Idol of your own making for it is good in its place if a seeing eye enlightned do view it he values it at the true value for brethren our not being our selves makes us see double and that double fight overthrowes our true valuation for that that is good in his own place by our esteem of it it doth thereby become a God unto us for what man over values or over-esteems it is his Idol and by consequence his God Let me speak in the days of our vanity how many Gods have we sacrificed unto Now the shortest way to give a definition to the Querie it is this what have we not sacrificed unto Do not mistake me the sacrificing unto is this It is obedience unto that that is not God as thus I esteem Gold my love is drawn unto nay into it what will not I do that that God will not reward me for Because every God doth seemingly promise reward for every God doth give himself if adored to the person adoring Or thus again I worship Honour how do I idolize that God that will but procure me Honour for Honour is the God I look to be rewarded with Though man goes many ways unto his God yet the end he counts his safe centre and the centre is the end and so a God One more thus God the great Creator of heaven and earth is he unto whom all obedience is due Now he that doth give that due that is onely due unto God alone unto any creature or creatures it is to deny God his Creator his Royal pre-eminence Now this sacrifice doth every man in his dark condition as the Apostle saith Such were we in times past when we lived in the lusts of our own desire fulfilling our envious mindes in all lustfulness But now minde here is that that destroys all but here comes the separating power of breaking asunder our connexion that is Gods Word coming in power But when the mercifulness of God our Saviour appeared not through the righteousness that we had done but minde of his free mercy he saved us by renewing 〈…〉 our souls the new birth whereby they and we and all that are enlightned are renewed by the principle of obedience that is lust is cast forth and obedience is planted and set upon the right object that is upon God and then it acts righteousness and righteously O beloved you high account of the name Gospel and Christians it is the name that is the cause of your greater loss for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is this DONE in our souls or spirits we doing unto others from that gift which is Gods
free mercy unto us we declare the work of God done in us unto the glory of God the Father the free giver of that free gift for brethren the Apostles must be as bad as ye hold me in this state Be ye doers of his will and not onely hearers onely deceiving your selves All hearing is but a lye that is deceiving until doing be come for the doer shall be justified in his deed and the hearer which is but a sound and a lye shall be cast forth and the doer is he and onely he that shall be received into Christ the Lord this this is the true Gospel Si Deus almorarum in re The English is Love is obeying the thing in all his commands Alui hessena amphi sele oraous-sebe-olat-al The English is this The height in love doth illustrate in the doer to the example and invitation of others O agomeon in a salma onary in reab oly odoneus O the height of love in the creature is in obedience acting the commands of the Creator Savior O alpha in cretura in re saguisse elma amaset in rem The English is this The beginning in the creature is the light from the Creator whereby he acts obedience unto the Lord his God sola alone Theauranjohn Tani the Jew Epistle 14. Wrote at Eltham O Beloved-brethren that eternal word or root it is the Gospel it is not the named word but it is the power Gospel in the soul which is not Christ in name but word God in power overturning the name and planting the thing for the true Gospel hath not nor cannot bear any name that is cypnered out in letters for it is the new creation within the soul and a spiritual work in truth of term cannot be named for a Spirit is spiritual what is the meaning of spiritual it is in import in the word as if it should be said thou Spirit art all and to all there is not nor can be no proper name at all Brethen my insert is beyond Apostolical for it is Evangelical and if you have the Evangelical eye then you see it mystery the litteral eye sees me not I am life if ye see meye are one with me nay we and as many as do see are all but one in the union for through Christ that is o-obedience we are made one with the Father in the celestial center But beloved now I come to cut your state that you are so fast stated in and upon and I shall show your deceiveable state stated and held and maintained and thus I begin I will give your state the precedencie for it was a name and that name was the written Bible and New Testament their names are called and were called so before you and I were borne that is they were called the word of God the glorious Gospel of Christ the holy Scriptures Non sabbah litteras sed sperituus devinus The English is The written letters are not holy but the intendant Spirit it is holy and holy cannot stand on Paper and Ink but in the souls of men in that figure or Image being that man he is the fairest flower in Gods field within this terrestrial Orb and as wholly stands in the soul of man which is but obedience from man unto God so wholly stands the center-bearer in the whole creation Beloved you that are taught in the Spirit know what is spoken for unto you is that teaching given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom Now brethren know that your composure of letters and names in the Bible and the New Testament cannot give true knowledge in this Mystery of the Kingdom for the mystery in the Kingdome it is spiritual and no name can define a spiritual thing for this is the reason the one is Truth the other is a Lye thus the spirit it is Truth Truth it hath a center nay it is the center of all things and all founds or names are but compositions semblances and semblances are no substances and no substance no center therefore nothing a meer Idea a meer Lye a Fancie a Shadow a Vanity Now you will say that I deny the Scriptures now I joyne issue with you your selves mine enemies you shall be judge first it is true I do deny the Scriptures as you hold them forth nor you understand not what you do hold forth that is it I affirm for the insert or Scripture in many places is true according to inserting or writing but it is made a lye by your practising This is the Scripture I affirme to be true Scriture First I hold the Scripture to be true if truely wrote you understand me not I pass now I tell you you understand not the Scripture but you make the Scripture false for the Scripture is true they admonish all to love one another then wherefore doest thou see thy brother in need and wherefore dost thou wrong thy neighbour to set up thy self The reason is this I pray you minde thy self is thy Scripture and thou hast denied the literal word of God that thou callest the word of God and the Gospel but thou deniest Christ the Lord and his commands are cast behind thy back and thou art both Scripture Law and Word and Gospel thy self and so indeed thou art the high Antichrist that is Christ the Law the Word the Gospel the Scripture all these thou art enemy unto nay a destroyer of them all Brethren out of love I intreat you out of knowledge I do admonish you be ye warned of this main condemnation that floweth forth upon you by your owne knowledge and forwardness I beseech you in the bowels of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour remember the words of my Brother Peter the Apostle they were these in the daies of our ignorance God winked at but now that all should come to the knowledge of of the truth Now Brethren I beseech you minde what you curious and eloquâ—nt and quick witted ones have gotten by your affirming that the Scriptures as the Bible and the New Testament is the word of God now you know that the word of God abideth for ever and it is a word of power and discerning between the joynts and the marrow nay betwixt the soul and the spirit I beseech you minde It discerneth betwixt the Apostolical doctrine and the Evangelical declarative whereof and from that root I affirm that is the Evangelical expression it is beyond the Apostolical Insertation or writing but to come to the word of God I affirm it to be himself for if it be true word it is true God for God and his word are not two but one â—ntire onely one now know Gods word is of that power nay it is that power that over-turneth all things into it self Now minde I beseech you the Scripture that you say is the word of God you are a greater and stronger word then it for it calls for obedience you will not obey therefore by consequence you are a greater God then
the Scripture or the word of God which ye call or count to be the word of God Would you know the highest of what it is I tel you it is the writing Appestolical pointing to the life Evangelical of which things I am come forth to speak unto that you might not be no longer deceived by the Appestolical dead name but to be drawn to the view in light into the Evangelical living thing Now minde upon this comes your nondemnation that you know the Scriptures and hold them in so high esteem in the name as for to be the true word of God and though ye say this and dispute thus and persecute them that say not as you say I intreat you take notice you are the abominable belyers of your owne word of God as you call it for you say it is truth then why act you not in that truth againe you say you know it to be Gods word then know that if it were Gods own word and thou taught that knowledg by God who is the giver of knowledge thereby to know him to be the onely true God this knowledge turneth the receiver of it into obedience and then he sees God as he is for he seeth God with Gods owne eye that is true sight without mixture Now if God had taught thee then it had been effectual to the turning thee into obedience and know so taught so kept for where God teaches he keeps and obedience acts forth in distributives of mercie love pity and compassion for Gods teachings are alwaies effectings and from them effectings flow forth actings of mercy unto thy poor distressed brethren which is a declared seal unto the people that thou art taught by God himself and sealed with Gods seal for know so long as you are but sayers ye are Devils and lyers and when you come to be doers then ye begin to declare that God hath taught you the true Gospel as for ye and your Gospel and your word of God so long as it lies in the tongue so long it is a lye untill the tongue in that body be turned into hands and them hands be made doing distributively unto every one in necessity then I say Id east non literas sed spiritus et divitie The English is this It is not letters or names but the Spirits riches which is planted in the soul and hath silenced the lying tongue and hath caused an operation in the hands to be acted forth unto the members of the same body whereof Christ is the head if ye will be Christs disciples ye are to sell all and follow him as he hath commanded this is the word of God and you know the text then how are ye Christs servants withstanding the commands of your master but I take this for granted this is a hard saying and who can bear it I answer he that commanded it for if thou wert but out of thy devilish knowledge then thou wast in Christs strength and his strength is thy strength if he be thy teacher then no command is hard because the strength that commanded in that same strength it is obeyed But now I will show you how you are all cheated and deceived that are not in that strength it is thus ye are learners of Christ and ye are treasurers up of names and verses and texts and disputes and answers all this is learning of Christ Now I Theauraujohn say and declare this day that Christ cannot be learned nor taught for know that the height of learning is but getting the name But I beseech you brethren minde it is Gods free gift conferring the thing into the soul that is it that makes an oneness betwixt thee and himself thou hast learned the name but he is the true thing that will not nor cannot stoop to thy naming his name for the name is a meer lye without the thing which lye art thou until the thing named be come which thing is Gods free gift or Christ in the soul alas what makes all this disunion or division amongst us and variety of opinions as is amongst us at this day I will show you the reason it is because we gather unto us names and them names are variously named and so by this we our selves gather our selves into these opinionated names and gatherings together but mind we are not gathered by God himself but our selves gather our selves into selected companies and then judge others that are not as we are when indeed we are all this while but a name which is but a Ly for know if we were gathered by the Spirit of God then no division would be amongst us but an intire oneness in the union Spirit for whom and them that the Lord gathers they continue for they are centered in the alone center Now here is the difference betwixt our gathering our selves into Churches and Companies and we being gathered by Gods Spirit its gathering us thus God gathers all out of us that is all our names notions oppositions and prejudices after them weeds are gathered and bound up and cast forth then he maketh the great Allah alba that is the high white plain in us and of us and in that white plain he gathers together and plants in that plain made plaine by his own word this to be expressed in words Hevi-altiel The English is to say Behol◠the great plaine of the Lords making Now this is the Lords paper fitted for him to ensigne himself in Now this plaine being thus made now comes the ensignement which in words is thus denoted in Hebrew Oli el vau ו which is in import as the words do stand relatives unto Hevi altiel The English is this The whole light in man is againset in God this is the second Viva vita that is The spirit of man is made obedient to act Gods will and from this Ensignment flowes holiness unto the Lord. Now thus gathered thus they ever stand and that that keeps them it is Degitus dei in kor allah apparan hashsha The English from this Hebraick state it is this That that keeps them it is the finger of God wrote upon and in the cleane and high table in the heart of soul of man by the high strength of God in power overturning all false writings and then ingraving himself in his holy mount for saith the Lord I dwell in the humble and meek spirit Now ye proud ones consider who is it that dwells in you for God dwels in the humble plaine soul in the dejected spirit O beloved the mourning spirit is an Angels feast O a poor pure heart is the Evangelical Throne Therefore ye poor ye weak ye nothings in your selves why are ye cast down it is because the Spirit of God doth rest upon yee and in that glory that now you see your selves nothing then are yee the happiest happy for your Iow nothingness in your selves it is Christs riches in you that hath made you so and ye are clothed with all and that all
mite nay halfe mite nay minute of time nay it is not to be defined in truths rule it is so short Non statis in ko saluat seabbris segat aluat hoi-sele mem The time is so short that I cannot state it for time is and it is time and for a nothing that is man is nothing and for nothing to state a time in a center it cannot be for the center is time and time is the center here is wisdom to the wise and understanding to the prudent time is time is not not is time and time is not now times are two and times are one not two times but one and that onely one In trinas in re that is three in one thing O Beloved if ye perceive any thing in me that is light know that it is this That I know the Land shall be destroyed therefore I beseech you that fear the Lord humble your selves and walk low in love for the time of vengeance hastens O a fire is coming I tremble to hear thereof therefore walk humbly before God that in the evil day you may escape as brands plucked out of the fire Brethren what I say unto you I practice in my owne person for abstenance and sorrow are my companions crying to God for my peoples gathering and my complaint unto my God is this O Lord thou hast made me naked before this people and hast caused terrible things to be declared when I was not my self but know that mad men so mad fools your owne proverb is oft-speak truth I have cryed in the streets I have declared what I have received yet who among you is departed from his evil waies my heart panteth and my spirit faileth and is weary because I see such small turnings unto God by obedience O Beloved that you were not more stupid then the beasts in your understanding you might easily perceive that if there be any God as by many mens and womens living they declare that there is not else they would not nor durst not do now as they do in this time of deceit O shall not the Lord throw downe his wrath in his fury and anger upon this hypocritical this all-tongue Nation But O people deeds of mercy is not amongst ye for the Lord hath looked from heaven and behold nothing but oppression is found in her Now know O England that thou art but a scourge to others to be scourged for scourging O ye that fear the Lord happy are ye for when destruction comes upon the World then even then is the time of your rejoycing for the righteous shall rejoyce when he seeth the vengeance coming Now we that fear the Lord are now dead but in afflictions then we live so beloved unto you poor dejected ones am I sent with the Olive-leaf of peace even unto you who are the precious ones in the sight of the Lord though in low esteem in the world nay necessity so overpowreth you that many of you want bread O this wanting bread in our Nation doth declare we live but in the name Gospel for refreshing the poor and releiving the needy this is the Gospels true thing for which my soul mournes in secret to hear and see the name Gospel cryed so high and doing which is the true Gospels not owned amongst us O what a dishonour is it to the Gospel that amongst us care is not taken to supply the poor Now I will show you the reason it is this every man being a Gospel unto himself that is the cause I prove it thus if thou did once owne Christs words to be Gospel then thy self Gospel is cast forth but thou ownest thy owne Gospel that is thy owne self-will to be the truest Gospel and so Christ and his Gospel is cast forth for thou sayest Christ shall not reign over thee by thy actions in plain English words thou declarest no less therefore brethren I beseech you every one of you free your selves from this high deceit and set to your seals that it is true for doing is a seal unto others what the Lord by his Spirit hath done in thee try whether thy walking and actions be ruled by Christs prescript or writing which thou callest the word of God now if thou actest contrary thou art word and Gospel and God unto thy self for his ye are to whom ye obey one thing I will state clear to you wise ones the point is this you say that the Bible and the New Testament they are the word of God I say you belye them in saying so for know if Gods word were of no more power and force in it self then it is in the insert or Testament I say you are a greater word and a God then that is I prove it thus that that you say is Gods word commands obedience unto something you in actions act contrary how can this be Gods word that cannot over-power you I pray you minde Now you are Gods word for the greatest strength that is Gods word and your strength commands that that is there commanded and you act freely your owne will now let all judge whether that you be not a greater word then that you calls Gods word nay you make it a Lye and become a God unto your selves Let all people judge now for you to acknowledge that writing to be Gods word and you are not reformed by that word I tell you you make God a Lyer thus God saith that his word is life and you say you know it to be so why then knowledge in truth of that word it is life unto all that it is commanded unto but it is death to thee because thou hast taken the bare notional name and unto thee was the word never sent in power which is the communicated thing Now let me speak unto you here is the difference Christ saith I am the door the way and the life Christ saith I am the eternal word now what is this unto any man until Christ be become thus unto us I tell you we are before he come and abide with us we are unclean spirits witches and sorcerers deceivers for we would climbe over another way then Christ hath taught us I am the door saith Christ but your actions answer for you you will go in another way that is by the power of your owne strength This is every namer and national gatherer in the whole world which is cast forth at Christs owne appearing and then all that you counted gain unto you is become loss unto you through the excellency that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. O that ye did but know what this Lord Jesus Christ is or that you could bear my knowledge in the thing El massah arkad axsi sephraim aspah salma oni pele labat arbattha koersim semar axsi The English to what it will bear God the Saviour is onely strong and omnipotent in every thing and he alone is the restorer of himself in the whole creation in appearances for this end
were they created that they may be preserved through destruction nothing can be saved until it be destroyed for destruction is absolute salvation by Christ Now hear a word O England that is this I know God is bringing about Zach. 10.3 My wrath was but I know now it is kindled a gainst the Shepherds and he will visit the Goats but the Lord will visit the house of Judah and will make them as his beautiful horse in the day of battel the 4. verse 5. and 6. and so on for this work am I called and sent for the proclaiming Israels return for the Lord will build her againe that he hath destroyed and plant her in the magnificentest beauty of beauties as is thus much the Jewes and Jerusalem shall be the exalted beauty out of all beauties into one beautiousness in royal magnificence and adorative glory Now ye Jewes my Brethren be ye doers of works of mercy which doth declare the strength of the Gentiles Gospel being planted in your living souls and do not as the Gentiles do that make a great sound of the name Gospel in the tongue but in heart and life they deny the power and they now Crucifie Christ as the Jewes did in times past for the Gentiles name a name and yet they abhor the thing that is included in that name but they are become a Law unto themselves in that they have abhorred the Gospel and departed from it in its power Zachary the 12 Chapter verse the second and so forward these insertations of the Prophets are my witness and the Jewes strength for to uphold their drooping spirits Beloved had you but eyes to see my sphear I move in you might see the Appostolical body for to be thick clay and ponderous to that Evangelical lusture I recead from the appostolical doctrine was light in the evangelical part of it but then he that views it he must have the Evangelical eye but know that the Jews Ceremonies were beautious for a time and then vanished the Appostolical beautious for its time which time is ended they were both beautious in their times and now ended but now comes the Evangelical living of which they both were but dark types yet in them daies splendorous now know if God should cease from varieties he must cease from being God but he is various in his creation and theâ— varietiâ— is the declarer of his intire union there lies the Mystery Now ye that be talking and prateing Gentiles we that are in grafted Jewes that is Gods strength hath subdued us unto himself we are doers of deeds of mercy unto them that are in necessity and not onely literal hearers thereby deceiving our selves as ye literal notional Christians or Gentiles are for not he that beareth my words but he that doeth my will even that very man or woman it is Christs Disciple on Disciples therefore none come to hear me more unless ye intend to make a true spelling that is doing what you hear commanded for ye are mockers of God by your so hearing and not doing better had it been for you that you never had heard then having heard a command commanded in them words you hold to be a truth and yet you disobey this truth now let me tell you your condemnation is just and cut of your owne mouth against your owne self it must and will pass I have heard this word it is truth it commands righteousness thou actest wickedness here is thy judgement Now Brethren had God come unto you first in the power of his word you had been enlightned within the soul and that light is strength to obey if by Christ it be taught but you are so quick you will come in by the name Gospel and your owne bestial reason must be your owne guide and so you are guided in your own strength from Christ unto the high Antichrist now who is an Antichrist even he that denies the Father and the Son who denies the Father and the Son even all that obey not the commands of Christ which doth bring us unto God in union so you may plainly see and by that sight save a great deal of time that you spend in study that your braines are and have been imployed in about Antichrist for if not Christ then Antichrist So now look no more for Antichrist abroad or at Rome For thou O man in darkness art Antichrist the Devil the false Prophet the Socerer the Witchcraft the Lyer this is every man in his dark state and we thrust it off one unto another and one Country unto another Nation when indeed it is Antichrist his trade to keep our eyes without lest we should fee his deceit within Antichrist is the Whore that wipes her mouth as it is said saying with an Amazonian face I have done no wrong when she hath acted what she can Beloved thus dark are we being but the mystery of iniquity Brethren Jeremiah the 8. and the 7. verse these words even the Stork in the aire knoweth her appointed times and the Birds their season but my people knoweth not the judgements of the Lord read the 8 verse and so unto the 12 verse adde to this Ezekiel the 5 chapter and the 5. verse so unto the 12 this was a sentence against Jerusalem but now I say and know Tremble Tremble Tremble O England for thy decree it is sealed and from the sealing the declaring is gone forth to warn the people that Destruct on is at the very door therefore I beseech you say it to heart let every one cry unto God though we are neither shall be delivered yet thereby we may be humbled that when the Iudgment is come it may finde us not proud but humble There is an humbling in man as Ahab humbled himself and went softly it prevented Iudgment but I fear that you are rocked in the strength of pride and you and your pride will fall together how many of you have made a covenant with death and you will not be released that evil it is a proud heart that is the seal of deaths covenant be watchful that a proud heart be not found in thee then thou art fast tyed in deaths covenant Revelations the 6 and the 5 verse And the seal being opened I saw a black horse and he that sate on him had ballances in his hand Beloved I am carried thus from one text to another but here I stand for it is my center place or place center that is for to weigh the substance out of and from the seeming substances for know my work is to weigh both the thing and the name and to give honour unto the thing and to curse the name for it is one with the figure my brother Jesus caused would you know who or what Jesus cursed It was the flourishing Figtree that was a show of a goodly good Tree afar of to dark eyes but to come close to the figtree and you my brethren then the figtree are ye and ye are the
figtree for ye are full of beautious leaves of expression but come to the fruit ye are Devils in action Now you count the expression strange but it it is true therefore to be owned by you if you will do the Devils work be not ashamed of your Masters name now here you will use my owne method and say that the name is not the thing and that the Masters name is not the servants thing Now comes the plaine definition thus God is light that light is love now man in love he is in that light and that light is Christ and Christ is God now is not this a clear apparant truth Now as God is light the Devil he is but darkness to that light now in darkness is hatred and hatred is the Devil and hate being in man predominate he is Satan or Apollyon but these words will not carry the intention of our English word Devil if we would but let that word stand in name but we will have it thing and so we are one with that Apollyon or Abaddon which you say is the English Devil but the intendant out-runs the name quite out so brethren God and man make a declared truth Devil and man make a declared Lye Now what is that Devil and man for why it is to set forth the glory in created appearances though the Devil was never created nor made it is we that make him a creation and judge ye how great creators we worms and dust are things are greater in esteem then many times in truth they are But I pass now let me tell you the balance is come to weigh this Nation and Mene Tekel is found upon its basis or in hebrew Orbus kabus all ah The English is Thou art not weight in the highest ballance or in the center weight thy people are a vaine people trusting in the name but the knowledge in the thing is not in them Bealah arki peal ardi neset doni The English is this Thou art high in name but in me saith the Lord thou art not found for then love was the connexing thy joynts or members one to another but thou art Quas in tiby allah pealah anvi pean ardi dele mem The English is this Thou art for thy self in every man and self is exalted and Charity cast forth or is made a vagrant amongst us to our shame is this motto inserted upon us by the Spirit of God this saying is strange to you but it is true and you will feel it true if you belong to light as I have found so shall many more to their sharp sorrow but their after joy O Beloved I mourn for you I strive with God for you beseeching him to inlighten you in all spiritual knowledge and understanding blessed be the Lord I can say in a safe conscience as ever Paul could say I have not coveted after no mans gold or silver nor desired any thing of any man or of any of you but onely that life part that my soul thirsts after to see it gathered into union in the celestial center O beloved my soul is ravished with the deliteful delite for when I am poor then am I rich in him who is my riches that is Christ the mercy and strength of God Brethren ye and to ye onely I speak that are passed the Apostolical teaching and are come into the Evangelical living Allah all ah allah hoei selma amaseret one peon alpha haggarim semam in re ex al olo on The English of this hebrew state is to what the English will bear O the light the light the light of peace is in the Evanglical thing that is in God when we have passed these beggerly rudiments Apostolical which are dead names pointing us to the Evangelical living in God for if Christ be come you are no longer in the dead name but you are risen in the life of Christ into his body that is Evangelical Minde the Apostles words We are dead and our life his hid with Christ in God Behold
