you you should not lye tells you you should not be drunk tells you you should not take Gods name in vaine tells you you should not follow whoredome which light tells you you should not cozen nor cheat one another nor swear but keep to yea and nay in all your communications Now with this light in you which Christ hath inlightned you withall you see evill thoughts and evill d●sires and evill affections this is the true light that doth manifest these things afore mentioned and this is the true light which doth reprove when you act those things contrary to the light which if you love the light and walk in it you will come to learn of Christ who saith Learn of me from whence it comes who inlightneth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe Now you poor people you all are inlightned with this light and you all know these things before mentioned to be contrary to the light with the light which it manifesteth And you rich people and great men you have a light in you which comes from Christ Jesus which shews you your hearts and sin and evill when that your hearts are grosse and deceitfull this light within shews it you which is the light that cometh from Christ the true light who lighteth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might beleeve and he that beleeveth receives the Gospel which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that beleeves And every one in particular waiting in the light given to you to beleeve which cometh from Christ who saith Learne of me I am the way I am the truth and no man cometh unto the Father but by me here you will feel your Teacher that cannot be removed into a corner Christ Jesus who saith Learn of me This is my beloved Son hear ye him saith God And here every one having a light from Christ given to you to beleeve who saith Learn of me here is your Teacher but if you hate this light which from Christ doth come and follow the worlds Teachers the hireling which deceives you and follow such as the Apostles and the Prophets and Christ cryed against as Isaiah Jeremiah Ezekiel and Micha and Peter and Jude and Mat. 23. as you may read now these that gave forth Scripture say these are the Deceivers and were witnessed against and Christ hath said Learn of me I am the way no man cometh unto the Father but by me now if you hate this light and follow the forementioned contrary to the light this is your condemnation the light saith Christ but if you love the light which is Christ who saith learn of me you will find your Teacher as you lye in your beds and as you are in your occasions which will keep you to yea and nay in your communications for whatsoever is more is evill from the light contrary to the truth THe Relation that stands in destroying is by the children of light denyed all such who live out of the light and out of it walk who weare the old Garment whose minds is corrupt and hath a wisdom and with it know not God and hath a knowledge and with it corrupt themselves and hath a humility but feigned and hath a worship but in the will and hath a righteousnes but in the selfe and speaks the high words but it is in the hypocrisie and hath a liberty but in the flesh where the Spirit is in prison who in Cains way is gone hath not an habitation in God whose affections are below in the Earth and to it and serve the lusts and the pleasures whose conversation is among the wicked and there is the worlds Relation where lodgeth the strife and debate and deceit and disdain and setting up that which God will throw down now while this is standing which is contrary to the light they that in the light doe walk and be in it those they deny and see that which leads nature out of its course which set the whole course of nature on fire and there the whole world are in confusion and all the tongues are unbridled where power over them is not while that reigns that leads nature out of course his Religion is vaine and that Relation stands out of truth but all such as to the light be turned see with the light that doth manifest what leadeth nature out of course the marriage that is honourable and the marriage that is not honourable and what sets the whole course of nature on fire and what leads nature into course where the pure Relation the entrance of it is received where the selfe and its righteousnesse is denyed and the righteousness of Christ received where the worship of the will is denyed and the worship of God in Spirit and truth is received where selfe righteousnesse is denyed and Christ the righteousnesse of God received and the former conversation put off and the conversation in Heaven witnessed and the affections below changed and the affections which are above come to here is the pure Relation known without guile which are out of Cains way where the habitation in God is witnessed and seen where the just lives by his faith and the honouring in the Lord known the true humility learned of Christ who is not of the world though it by him was made who lighteth every man that cometh into the world who is mans way out of it which light is mans condemnation if he doth not believe in it And the Relation which is in the world who hate light is in the lust where the perversnes is in the love of the world where the envy is where the invention is selfishnesse crossenesse perversnesse back-biting maliciousnesse filling with unrighteousnesse yet they have a love yet they have a Relation now the light which comes from Christ the beloved of God where the love of God is received the worlds Relation denyed for the Relation of the world destroys and devoures but the children of light which be in the Relation out of the world live in peace unity and fellowship and comfort injoyed in the Holy Ghost So all you that professe Relation in word and envy lodgeth in your heart against one another and yet flatter one another to your faces and back-bite one another behind the back such Relations we doe deny and have a witness in your own conscience against it And all that professe Relation to one another and love and friendship with the tongue and in heart deceive one another and cozen one another and cheat one another and lye and dissemble one with another all such Relations we deny and have a witnesse in your conscience against it And all such as professe Religion or worship or humility
