Spirit they are so farre from killing or consenting to the killing of any man offensively or defensively in their own behalfe or in the behalfe of any other man that they are afraid of their own evill thoughts and much more of evil words or deeds against God or men because they know nothing but pure righteousnesse pure love without envy and pure innocency shall raign in eternall glory with the only eternal Father the Lord Jesus And on the contrary they know all man-slayers under what pretence so●ver and all Govertous Idolaters Drunkards Swearers Lyers Sorcerers Whoremongers and all those that vindicate unrighteousnesse through the love of silver in opposing of that pure Law of love that commands all Christians not to do as they are done unto that is the hypocrits righteousnesse But on the contrary to do unto all men as you would they should do unto you this is the righteousnesse of pure faith which is the righteousnesse of God which makes men to fulfil all righteousnesse for want of this those unrighteous persons beforesaid must all perish to eternity Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that all those that hate to yield obedience to this pure peaceable Law of love proceeding from the pure spirit of the Lord Jesus I say in the great and notable day of the Lord by his decree or by a word speaking from his mouth they shall every one of them rise out of the dust together not with the same bodies they died or fell asleep in because there was somewhat of God in those bodies whilest they lived which perisheth with them indeath but the bodies which they shall have shall be in forme of their former bodies but they shall be fiery bodies of spiritual darknesse yea bodies of all unrighteousnesse having all the inwicked deeds of their former bodies conveyed into these bodiers as fewell to kindle the fire of new sorrows In these bodies of Hell and utter darknesse and their spirits in their bodies shall be all fiery Devils so their bodies shall be their Kingdome of Hell and their proud spirits that had pleasure in unrighteousnesse shall be the Devils that shall be barr'd in close prisoners within their bodies from all motioning or thinking of any former comforts either spiritual or naturall to give them any ease at all because all time is past then as beforesaid shall their spirits and bodies burn together like a flame of fire that is all as dark as pitch they never stirring from the place of their resurrection nor never seeing one anothers face●… more much lesse shall they see the face of God just men or Angels to all eternity and the place of their eternall torment shall be upon this earth where they acted all their bloodshed and all other unrighteousness Then shall the Sun Moon and Stars and all other natural lights in this lower creation or world vanish or go out like the snuff of a candle giving no more light to eternity then shall this fruitful pleasant earth be like unto dry burning sand the seas and all rivers or springs of water being dryed up for evermore as if they never had any being this whole creation being turned into a chaos of confusion without forme and void of all light or sap either natural or spiritual to all eternity as beforesaid Again I declare by Revelation from the Holy spirit what was from Eternity before any creature was formed that had any sensible life either in heaven above or in this e●●th beneath there were these two uncreated substances of earth and water with the uncreated spiritual person of God the Creator in whose glorious prefence these senseless substances of earth and water were eternally resident that the creator might create or forme by his infinite wisedome out of those dead substances all variety of sensible living creatures in his own time for the setting forth of his visible glory to eternity Again I declare by Revelation from the holy spirit that the earth and the water were both dark substances having no light or sensible life at all in them but the person of the creator was infinitely full of all glorious lights and sensible life to himself both within and without Thus it is clear there was death from eternity only it was not in a sensible forme as well as there was sensible life light and glory in forme from eternity Again eternall life or God was a substantial forme from eternity but eternall death or darknesse of earth and water was substance without forme void of all spirit or life so that life or spirit only is all substantiall forme and death or darknesse only is all substance without forme so that life and death from ecernity are not bare words as blind hypocrites imagine but the invisible creator of all life or spirits was a God of a glorious substance a spirituall body in the form or likenesse of a man from all eternity Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that the glorious sensible life or light in the person of the Creator could not possibly be known by Men or Angels but by his creating or forming of some creatures to live sensibly in death and darknesse shame and misery and by his creating other creatures in opposition sensibly to live in life and light joy and glory Again the infinite glorious prerogative power of the Creator could not possibly be known to any of his creatures to make a distinction between the glory of eternal life and the misery of eternal death but by his forming of creatures of the same lump to be vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour to eternity but of the contrary if the Creator without distinction had formed his creatures to be all eternally glorious like himself then the glory of his prerogative power of infinite love or mercy and infinite justice or wrath and all his infinite new wisdom increasing or flowing in his glorious person as a fountain of living waters must in a manner have been shut prisoner in his own person and the creatures must have been all as Gods instead of creatures and so the Creator would have had no glory in his Creation at all of the prerogative power of his Godhead Wherefore I declare by vertue of my Commission from the only wise God and everlasting Father the man Jesus in glory that all those that are made to yield obedience in love to the prerogative power of God are his Elect ones appointed for blessednesse to all Eternity but on the contrary all those that are offended at the prerogative power of the Creator and love to dispute against it are all Reprobates and appointed to be cursed to all Eternity IV. AGain for your Information I declare from the holy spirit that the Creation above or beyond the starre of the holy Angels who are spiritual bodies in their persons formed like men and all other creatures that God hath made in the heavens above of that substance of earth and water aforesaid that was from all
