And a discovery of the true light and the false, with their wayes, worships, natures, properties and effects. &c. A vindication for the truth against the deceit. to clear the truth, of scandalls written for simple ones sake, that desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus.	R. F.

root of all enmity to reconcile thy soul unto God in yielding to the pure law of love and the divine power of purity in thee and so circumcise thy heart and cut off the evil nature which hinders thy soul of the unity so will the righteous law kill sin in thee and give thee knowledge of the true way that leadeth to life joy and comfort in yielding obedience to the principle of purity in thee heartken to that which checks thee for running into folly and van●ity and it will crosse thy mind will and affections 2 Pet. 1.19 2 Cor. 4.6 7. Pro. 20.27 that runs out after carnality and so search thy heart and turn thee out of the iniquity and guide and lead thee into holynesse and purity in walking up to God in the right way that leadeth to the divinity with Christ I am the way the truth and the life and no man cometh to the father but by me know Christ the way in you to lead out of darkness into the light of purity Christ is the light and Christ is the way and he comes to set up his judgement within and to reveal wrath against sin and to break the peace of the carnall mind and to draw under judgement all the first birth Ioh. 9.39 1 Cor. 1.19 20 21 22 23 24 25. Col. 2.13.14 Eph. 2.11 12 13 14 15 16 both the love of the world the wisdom of the flesh and carnall reason and lead that into the pit of confusion to slay the enmity by the execution of the righteous judgement upon the unjust nature that he may pour forth fury upon the head of the wicked and slay that which crosseth purity and opposeth the work of redemption as man doth imbrace the comings in of wrath to the wrathfull nature to cut it down and burn it up that the good seed may hare room to grow in man and make man fruitfull to God in joining with the slayer of sin that the world or the creature man may be saved by the power of the Lord which doth redeem the soul and unite both soul and body to God that they may be reconciled by the death of the cross in the mystery to praise and glorify God in sincerity and in integrity The true light and the false with their waies worships natures properties and effects This then is the message that we have received to declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darknesse at all and that every good and perfect gift is from above and cometh from the father of lights with whom is no variableness Iam. 1.17 18. 1 Pet. 1.22 Rom. 11.16 Eph. 5.1 2. Eph. 2.8 9 10. neither shaddow of turning for of his own will begat he us that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures being born again and children of the light 1 Pet. 1.22 Rom. 11.16 Eph. 5.1 2. God is the fountain of all good and of mans salvation and happinesse and God is pure his waies words works and worships are pure and holy and this holy God doth inhabit in eternity and dwelleth in purity in himself and none can approach to come near him in their sins nor by their faln wisdom none knowes him but those that are born again and washed and cleansed not in his purity therefore as he that hath called you is holy Heb. 12.14 1 Pet. 1.15 16. so be ye holy in all manner of conversation because it is written be ye holy as I am holy for holinesse becometh mine house for ever as God is pure and holy so the light that proceedeth and cometh forth from God is pure and holy and stands out of all apprehensions and comprehensions of man by his faln wisdom and so sees all mans devices his deceits and false waies and false worships and this pure light that doth proceed and come forth from God which is pure and perfect it convinceth man of all the deceits of his heart and of all his devices and deceiveablenesse and of all his false waies of worship and sheweth him his transgressions and convinceth him of unrighteousnesse and infidelity and all manner of evil whatsoever and calleth him out of the waies and works of darknesse into unity with this pure light and leads him into the way of peace and salvation in obedience to it to worship God in purity even in spirit and in the life and power of truth Ioh. 16.25 26 17 28. Ioh. 12.35 36. this light is from the fountain of lights it is not a conceited thing that is conceived in the brain but it is the light of life and is not to be found in books nor learning without it gathers out of all books without to reading the book of life within this light opens all Scriptures 1 Ioh. 5.8 9 10 11. Ioh. 17.23 14. and Ieads man out of the fall up to God the fountain father of lights this is the true light leadeth into life eternall 1 Joh. 5.12 13. Joh. 17.10 But the naturall men know it not by their naturall learning at studies at universities that is but a borrowed or false light that leads them into books and studies to find out the truth by their carnall wisdom which is gathered up from the serpent and is accursed from God and that faln wisdom and man that lives by conceivings and comprehension and catching of truthes in the nation to speak of and sell for mony it is earthly carnall and divelish Iam. 3.15 16. and he that is joined to that serpentine wisdom is one with it in the same nature and sets up a way of worship that stands in the carnall conceivings of his own brain in imitation from them who lived in the life and power of truth and his ministry that is of the seed of the serpent stands in his own will and so learns his naturall tongues and so would be a judge of spirituall things by his naturall learning and trades out of books and the conceivings of his own brain to sell his divinations at a great rate and calIs them his spirituall things when he is in his carnall corrupt nature 1 Cor. 2.7 8 9 10 11 13 14. 2 Cor. 10.4 5. 2 Pet. 1.19 20 21. Ioh. 28.7 8 to the 22. Isa 30. Ier. 23.29 30 31 32. Isa 5.20 Mat. 23.24 25. Ioh. 8.12 and the naturall man knows not the things of the spirit God for they are foolishnesse to him 1 Cor. 1.14 15. And that is a false light that leads the minds of men out into conceivings and imaginations and to gather up knowledge out of old authours or books without them and that light which is borrowed from without and gathered into the brain through the conceivings and imaginations leads the mind will and affections out after pride and oppression self-self-love and the honour of the world and the like and it conceives that to be good also and all to be evil that crosseth his knowledge in his carnall

shineth in darknesse but darknesse comprehends it not Joh. 1.5 This then is the message that God is light Ioh. 1.5 and in him is no darknesse at all if we say we have fellowship with him and walk in darknesse we lye and do not the truth but if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another Ioh. 1.5 6 7 and the bloud of Iesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin 1 Joh. 1.5 6 7 he that dwelleth in God dwelleth in light but he that is out of God is in darknesse and walketh in crooked paths that leads to destruction Therefore I say unto you who desire to fear the Lord as John said to the brethren Little children let no man deceive you he that doth righteousnesse is righteous even as he is righteous but he that doth not righteousnesse is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother in this the children of God are made manifest 1 Ioh. 3.9 10. and the children of the Divell 1. Joh. 3.9 18. Here is two seeds acted by two powers and receiveth strength from two roots the seed of God acted by the power of God and all who are in unity with that seed are crucified to the world and dead to unrighteousnesse Christ being made manifest to destroy the works of the Divell who is the bright morning star I am the root and off-spring of David Rev. 22.16 saith Jesus Christ and he that is unjust let him be uniust still and he that is saithy let him be filthy still there is the evil seed but he that is righteous let him be righteous still and he that is holy let him be holy still there is the good seed and righteousnesse springeth from one root and is of God and all who act in righteousnesse who are acted and guided by the divine power of God are one and are in covenant with God but all unrighteousnesse doth spring from another root Rev. 22.10 11 12 13 14 15. Isa 5.22 23 24 Rev. 22.16 17. Isa 28.13 14 15 16 17 18 19. and those who are of unrighteousnesse are of the seed of the serpent and are acted and guided by the power of the Divell Rev. 21.10 11 12 13 14 15. and I witnesse the same with the Scriptures by experience that good and evil it from two roots distinct and two powers therefore be not deceived for God will not be mocked Heb. 1.14 15. Act. 26.28 Rev. 13.4 Rev. 16.10 11 12 13 14. Rev. 19.11 12. to the end of the chapter You who are of the unrighteousnesse and of the seed of the serpent are one and all in covenant with the Divell and have made a covenant with death and Hell that the Scriptures maybe fulfilled Isa 28.15.28 chap. 1. 2. Isa 5.18 19 20 21 22 13 24. But you can deceive none but such as are of the same seed of evil doers with you who are of the serpent and lives in the fall and the lust of the flesh forsaking the fountain of living mercies to delight in lying vanities but the seed of God is springing up and begin to grow and righteousnesse will be a terrour to unrighteousnesse and the seed of God will be a torment to the seed at the serpent and the Lord ruling in his Saints will be a terrour to the heathen Howl ye serpents and all ye dragons for you will be found out and have the vialle of wrath and indignation poured forth upon you howl ye lustfull ones who delight in unrighteousnesse the Lord will be avenged of you Isa 1.24 Isa 3.11 all vengeance is mine all I will repay saith the Lord sury to mine adversaries you would have two kingdoms but Esaus dominion is yours and the hatred of God it to you all who delight in unrighteousnesse and and ye shall desire to see one of the daies of the son of man out shall not or the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it and this declare I unto you from the word of the Lord. The mistery of the crosse of Christ and the law in the heart taking hold upon sin and all unrighteousnesse to cut it down and cast it out through the working of the divine power of God in Mankinde The crosse is inward Ioh. 16.7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 v. Luk. 9.23 24 25 26. 1 Cor. 1.17 18. 〈◊〉 6.14 to the cutting down of sin and uncleanesse within the pure light of God which convinceth of sin and evil and witnesseth against all the branching forth of the unrighteous power of darknesse in man when his mind will and affections would run forth into the world to conceive some comfort to himself out of die visible objects his heart is soon taken through the outgoing of his eye with the things of the world and he transformes the very image of what part of the creation soever his eye was out after and sets it up in his heart if it be a house field horse oxe or any other creature he is taken with beauty or riches and so his heart is stoln away into the earth and he sets his affections on the things below God and his will falls down to worship silver and gold and such like things making them his Gods to delight himself in and when his heart is running out after the love and honour of the world there is a principle of purity within tells him all is but vanity and this calls for equity equity to take of oppression and cruelty but the lustfull proud nature crosseth that principle of purity and draweth the heart after vanity when the Divell bears rule in the heart working into the mistery of the iniqnity but that of purity which calls for equity still cryeth out and tells man all is but vanity and calls and cryes in his heart for purity and to set up truth and righteousnesse and to do to all men as he would be done by for that is the Law and the Prophets and to love God with all his heart and his neighbour as himself and to give over folly and vanity this is the crosse to iniquity which calleth and cryeth for justice and equity and love and pity let that be heard and obeyed in you and it will shut out jollity and cut off vanity and work into unity with that which calleth for purity and crosse the lustfull proud nature that hardness of heart may not rule over justice and equity Consider oh man that thou art mortall and must return to dust and be cast into torment and burning if thou wilt not give ear to the cry of the poor that which is pure in thee that it may work thee into charity and shew thee the way that leads to eternity and cut of oppression and tyranny that diligence may rule in thee that thy lusts may be slain that would break the bonds of amity the pure light will witness against the dark nature in thee and strike at the
