speak but such as that spirit of Darkness approved of Man or Woman And so here hath been the misery of these last Ages past in the time of the Reign of the Beast that John saw when he stood upon the Sand of the Sea rising out of the Sea and out of the Earth having seven Heads and ten Horns Rev. 13. In this great City of Babylon which is the woman that hath sitten so long upon the Scarlet-coloured Beast full of names of Blasphemy having seven Heads and ten Horns and this Woman hath been arrayed and decked with gold and pearls and precious stones and she hath had a golden Cup in her hand full of Abominations and hath made an Nations drunk with the Cup of her Fornication and all the world hath wondred after the Beast and hath worshipped the Dragon that gave power to the Beast and this woman hath been drunk with the blood of the Saints and with the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus and this hath been the woman that hath been speaking and usurping authority for many hundred years together And let the times and ages past testifie how many have been murdered and slain in Ages and Generations past every Religion and Profession as it hath been ●alled killing and murdering one another that would not joyn one with another And thus the Spirit of Truth and the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ hath been quite lost among them that have done this and this mother of Harlots hath sitten as a Queen and said She should see no sorrow but though her dayes have been long even many hundred of years for there was power given unto the Beast to continue forty and two months and to make war with the Saints and to overcome them and all that have dwelt upon the earth have worshipped him whose names are not written in the Book of the Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world But blessed be the Lord his time is over which was above twelve hundred Years and the darkness is past and the night of Apostacy draws to an end and the true light now shines the morning-Light the bringt morning Star the Root and Off-spring of David he is risen he is risen glory to the highest for evermore and the joy of the morning is come and the Bride the Lambs Wife is making her self ready as a Bride that is adorning for her Husband and to her is granted that she shall be arrayed in fine linnen clean and white and the fine linnen is the Righteousness of the Saints The Holy Jerusalem is descending out of Heaven from God having the Glory of God and her light is like a Jasper stone clear as Christal And this is that free Woman that all the Children of the Promise are born of not the Children of the bond-woman which is Hagar which genders to strife and to bondage and which answers to Jerusalem which is in bondage with her Children but this is the Jerusalem which is free whch is the Mother of us all And so this bond-woman and her children that are born after the flesh have persecuted them that are born after the Spirit even untill now but now the bond-woman and her Seed is to be cast out that hath kept so long in bondage and in flavery and under limits this bond-woman and her brood is to be cast out and our Holy City the New Jerusalem is coming down from Heaven and her Light will shine throughout the whole earth even as a Jasper stone clear as Christal which brings freedom and liberty and perfect Redemption to her whole Seed and this is that woman and Image of the Eternal God that God hath owned and doth own and will own for evermore More might be added to this purpose both out of the Old Testament and New where it is evident that God made no difference but gave his good Spirit as it pleased him both to Man and Woman as Deborah Huldah and Sarah The Lord calls by his prophet Isaiah Hearken unto me ●e that follow after Righteousness ye that seek the Lord look unto the Rock from whence ye were hewen and to the hole of the Pit from whence ye were digged look unto Abraham your Father and to Sarah that hare you for the Lord will comfort Sion c. Isa 5. And Anna the Prophetess who was a Widow of fourscore and four years of age which departed not from the Temple but served God with fastings and prayers night and day she coming in at that instant when old Simeon took the Child Jesus in his arms and she gave thanks unto the Lord and spake of him to all them who looked for Redemption in Jerusalem Luke 2.36 37 38. And Philip the Evangelist into whose house the Apostle Paul entered who was one of the Seven Acts 6.3 He had four Daughters which were Virgins that did prophesie Acts 21. And so let this serve to stop that opposing Spirit that would limit the Power and Spirit of the Lord Jesus whose Spirit is poured upon all flesh both Sons and Daughters now in his Resurrection and since that the Lord God in the Creation when he made man in his own Image he made them male and female and since that Christ Jesus as the Apostle saith was made of a Woman and the power of the Highest overshadowed her and the holy Ghost came upon her and the holy thing that was born of her was called the Son of God and when he was upon the Earth he manifested his love and his will and his mind both to the Woman of Samaria and Martha and Mary her Sister and several others as hath been shewed and after his Resurrection also manifested himself unto them first of all even before he ascended unto his Father Now when Jesus was risen the first day of the week he appeared first unto Mary Magdalene Mark 16.9 And thus the Lord Jesus hath manifested himself and his Power without respect of Persons and so lit all mouths be stopt that would limit him whose Power and Spirit is infinite that is pouring it upon all flesh And thus much in answer to these two Scriptures which have been such a stumbling block that the ministers of Darkness have made such a mountain of But the Lord is removing all this and taking it out of the way M.
