Rebellious and the Gift of God to the Rebellious is the Light which sheweth him his Rebellion and for this Cause it is given him that he might return from his Rebellion unto God the Giver Now Christ is the Light the Way the Truth and the Life and this is the Gift of God and they that receive love believe and follow the Light which showeth unto them their Sins they shall receive Power to come out of their Sins and to become Children of God and that Light which is the Gift of God that shall justifie and comfort them But they that disobey reject despise and hate the Light which sheweth unto them their Sins they shall abide in Darkness and if they Repent not they shall dye in their Sins and the Light which was God's Gift to them which shewed unto them their Sins and call'd unto them to forsake their Sins shall remain their Condemnation Blessed are they that love and obey the Light and believe in it for they shall be kept by it through Faith out of condemnation and they shall feel and know the Light to be their continual Teacher to teach them that which God requireth them to do and it will give them Power to do it also Little Children joyn not your selves to the Wicked Mark neither keep Company with them that walk in Unrighteous Wayes lest they tempt you to run into Wickedness also and so ye come thereby to receive the Wages that Sinners must receive and the Wages of Sin and of such as live in S●n is Death And they that partake with the Wicked in their Wickedness they also must partake with them in the Judgment therefore refrain from the Company of the Wicked and delight your selves in the Fear of the Lord. They that seek to the Wicked for Counsel they go to a corrupt Fountain but they that seek to the Lord for Counsel and live in his Fear they shall find the Treasures of Wisdom and the Fountain of Life Children delight not your selves in earthly Riches nor in the Honour of the World nor in the Pleasures of the Flesh nor in gay Apparel nor in vain Mirth in Musick nor in any Evil whatsoever but let this be your Delight to learn to know the Lord and to be obedient unto him Now Children the Light if ye wait in it that will learn you the fear of the Lord and it will shew unto you what the Lord commandeth you to do and it will lead you in Obedience unto God and his Commandments and so ye will be brought unto the End of the Matters and to the whole Duty of man which is to fear God and keep his Commandments and in the Light his Commandments are seen and they that receive the Light receive Power to keep them and to such they are not grievous but joyous Little Children wait in the Light G. F. Something concerning Original SIN THE Original of all Sin is out of the Truth and out of the Light and its conception is not in that Power by which all Creatures were made neither is its Original in that in which the Original of all Creatures is and doth stand And although Sin may be in a Creature it is not by Creation but by Degeneration not by the Power that made Man but by the Power that captivateth Man in his Senses and leadeth him from the Power that made him which he should be Subject and Obedient unto which Power placeth a Law in the Creature which it maketh and formeth and so as this was or is kept so long doth not Sin enter but when the other Power namely the Power of the Lust or earthly desire after something besides the pure Power and the Law of it takes the Creatures Senses into the Apprehension of something to be good beside the Law and the pure Obedience thereof here is Sins Original and Conception and so then the Knowledge of a Pleasure in Sin that enters into the Heart which is darkened with Love and Desire of that which is earthly and the Love which was to the Law which is the Light that grows cold and the Affections become deceived by the Subtilty of the Author ●f Transgression who is the ●egetter of the Evil Desires which is Sin in it self before ●t be brought forth to Action ●nd is of that Seed that is ha●ed in the Womb and then ●he Power not being loved which worketh to save out of ●he Sin at length the Feeling of ●t is lost and God the Power ●orgotten and the Creature led ●nto Captivity and the Power ●f death and Darkness comes ●p from the Pit of Darkness ●ver the Soul which bore the ●mage of him that created it and ●o then the the Begetting of the Power of Darkness the Prince of Iniquity the Father of Abominations and Defilements tha● begetting gets a Birth ●n th● Form of him that begot it● an● this takes the Dominion ove● the Creature and subjects i● unto Vanity not willingly 〈◊〉 but by force commanding i● the Members and making the● to be Servants to Unrighteou●ness bringeth forth continually through the Members that by Authority and Power which at the first was but pe●swaded and enticed unto an● so the Continuation of Si● and the Custom of sinning taketh away the Sence so that it becomes Natural to conceive Evil and to bring forth Mischief and to act Iniquity and this is the Nature in which all men are Children of Wrath one as well as another that are in it without respect to Persons Names Countries or any other thing whatsoever for Sin is the Transgression of the Law and where there is no Law there is no Transgression and where there is a Law there is Obedience required which not being yielded the Law is broken and Transgression committed so that of Necessity the Original of the pure righteous holy Law of God is first before the Original of Sin which is the Transgression of it and this is that which is near to every one even the Law which they should observe and keep and fulfill the requirings of it and not transgress and who take heed unto this do well and those that transgrses this do Evil as did Cain and then Sin lies at the Door which being finished brings forth Death and so as many as have sinned since the Foundation of the World it hath been by their departing aside from the pure Law of the Power that made them in their own Particulars unto that which their own Hearts l●sted after and so that having conceived in the Womb of Darkness in the blinded and deceived Affection brought forth the Sin which being finished in them and through them brought forth Death in their own particulars by what is done in thine own self and not by that which was done in another long ago So let none be deceived but all both Old and Young High and Low Rich and Poor mind the pure Law of God in your own Particulars which by Transgressing and Disobeying Sin has gotten Head

in you and so the Reign and Dominion of Death is come over you and the Powers of Darkness have prevailed in your Hearts and then in the Dark Imaginations of your own Hearts ye have gone to imagine about Original Sin being in Adam and so Si● unto Condemnation and Wrath to come upon you all But verily I say unto you The Original of Sin and the Law and their Transgression there of is nearer unto you tha● Adam even the disobeying of the pure Light of Christ Jesus wherewith he hath lighted every one of you withal which makes manifest unto you what ye should do and what ye should not do and who love and obey this it will lead them to that which was in the Beginning before Sin 's Original was A few Words concerning such as Mock and Deride at being moved by the Spirit OH Ye Blind and Ignorant People Children of no Understanding who are so far gone from the Lord God your Maker and from the feeling of his Power that it is become a Derision unto you What Lamentation shall I take up for you O ye People of England whose Old Men are Scorners and thy Children a Generation of Mockers In Vain has all thy Profession of the Scriptures been seeing now ye come to Mock and Deride ●t the Spirit which gave them forth Fear the Lord God ye Ishmaelites and Repent of the Evil of your Doings which have for several Years done Despight to the Spirit of Grace Jeering and Mocking at the Lord's People who are moved by his Spirit to Worship him and to Warn you of your Evil Lives as if there were no such Thing could be known as to be led by his Spirit I say what are you led by in your Worship if it be not by the Movings and Leadings of God's Spirit Then who hath required it at your hands but it seems you are not for you Mock and Deride at being moved by the Spirit and so Mock at the Manner of the Scriptures being given Holy Men of God Writing them as they were moved by the Spirit as saith the Scripture Therefore learn Understanding and mind God's pure Fear that y● may come to feel God's Spirit near you even in you moving out of Iniquity into that which is Righteous and then ye will leave Mocking at the Spirit for it hath been your Ignorance of it has been the Ground of your Despising of it But now they that mind the arising of the Light shall know the Clouds of Ignorance Expelled and come to the Knowledge of the Manifestation of God's Spirit without which the Mind cannot be Good And all you little Children who have been Mocking and Scorning at the Spirit of God and at the Light consider what you are doing you Mock at that which you ought to obey as hath been proved in this little Book and so remain Children of Disobedience in whom the Prince of the Power of Darkness rules in your Hearts and keeps you from the Knowledge of God who is Light in whom is no Darkness as ●ou may read in John 1. v. 5. A●d remember this that Mocking and Scorning and Jeering and Deriding are all Works of Darkness and not wrought in the Light but with the Light are all condemned S. C. An Exhortation to Families who have desires to serve the Lord God in their several places that they may all learn in the Light of Christ Jesus the Wisdom Power of God who is true Teacher O Ye Fathers and Mothers stand ia the pure Fear of the Lord and wait in his Light that ye may receive his living Wisdom and live in it that so ye may be ordered by it and with it order all things to God's Glory and bring up your Children in the fear of the Lord Watching over them in the Seasoned Savoury Life of God not suffering them to live in VVildness nor Idleness nor Vain Talking Unreproved but in the Sober Meek Spirit and in the Authority of God's Lamb reprove them and that will reach the Witness of God in them and Correct them in the Fear and Wisdom and Freedom of God in the Patience and follow not their Foolish Wills neither Correct them in your own Wills nor in Hast●ness Rushness or Passion for if ye do then that will use the Rod which is to be beaten with the Rod of God and that wi●l make your Children mo●● Stubborn and Wicked and this will Offend God but stand ye in God's Counsel and discourage nothing in your Children but Evil and let them have that which is meet ju●● and reasonable and no more that none of God's Creature● be wasted and be ye Patterns and good Example in all Holiness Gravity and Uprightness unto them and let them have sufficient Liberty to go to Godly Meetings and rather stir them up and Encourage them to go to such than hinder or discourage them and keep your Minds out of them unto the Lord and let your Love to them be in the Lord that so ye may feel his Blessing come upon you and them And all ye Children who have Parents honour and be obedient unto them in the Lord and mind the Light of Christ in you and that will not suffer ye to be Wild nor Wilfull Stubborn nor Vain but it will check and reprove ye for all Evil and if ye will own its Reproof and believe and wait in it it will lead ye out of all Evil and it will bring ye into Soberness and Meekness Tenderness and Innocency and preserve ye in it and it will bring ye to know and remember your Creator in the Dayes of your Youth and it will reveal God's Power and Wisdom in ye whereby ye will be kept in true order So suffer not your Minds to follow Vanity neither walk in Stubborness towards your Parents nor others I Warn ye in God's Fear lest he shorten your days and cut ye off by his righteous Judgments but mind his fear and wait therein that ye may feel his Grace and be taught by it and be obedient unto it then ye will feel the mercy and blessing of the Lord. And all ye that are Masters and Dames wait in the true Light that ye may feel Christ the Power and Wisdom of God to be your Master that so ye may Rule in your Places in his Fear and Wisdom and lay no more upon your Servants than ye would be willing should be laid upon you if were 〈◊〉 their Places and Condition Mark that and forbear thre●●ning them and be not hasty t● turn them away if they be wi●ling to abide with you but in patience and meekness shew them their Place and Service an● therein Teach them if the● know it not and let them hav● for their Service that which i● Convenient Just and Reasonable that they may have no jus● Cause to Mu●mur or Conplain● and keep out of Covetousness least that hinder you from giving them sufficient Liberty who desire it for going to the Meetings of the People

in it and then ye would come to feel the Mighty Power of God which ●s Christ manifested in you who was and is made manifest for this very end that he might and may destroy the Works of the Devil And they that commit Sin are of the Devil and in the Devil's Work for that is the Devil which begetteth Sin and works it in the Members and they that joyn to that which moveth to Sin they become one with the Devil the Author of Sin and so joyn with him in his Work and he becomes their Master Now Children Christ that Power of God he appears against Sin in the Members therefore mind the stirrings and movings and arisings of Christ the Power of God in you against Sin and believe and wait in it and th●n ye will come to feel Sin and the Devil who is the Author of it consuming even by the brightness of the coming or appearing or Revelation of Jesus Christ the Power of God in you And then you will grow into Soberness and Stilness and Quietness and Innocency and true Tenderness and Obedience both unto God and your Parents and them that have Rule over you and then the Blessing of the Lord will come upon you So Children ye being turned unto the true Light that shews you Sin and Evil with that as ye mind to abide in it ye will come to see and know that the true God the true Christ and the true Spirit is but one Being and Substance and as ye wait in the Light with it ye will come to see the Works and Workings of the one true and living God and so ye will grow into a good Understanding as ye believe and wait in that Light of God manifested in you And then ye will come to see and know the Devil also who abode not in the Truth and his Works and Workings and as ye abide in the Truth which the Devil is out of ye will come to feel the Devil and his Works and workings destroyed and consumed by the Brightness of the appearing of the one God of Light who is a consuming Fire So Children ye need not look out nor strive in your own Thoughts for the Knowledge of things but keep your Minds within in that which calls for Soberness and Stilness and Quietness and Harmelesness of Spirit and as ye wait in that ye will be kept in God's fear then whatsoever is needful for you to know the Lord will reveal it unto you by his Spirit For the secrets of the Lord are with them that fear him as say the Scriptures and they that fear the Lord shall not lack any thing that they have need of for they that stand in awe of God the light they shall be kept out of Sin and they shall grow into the pure Knowledge and Wisdom of God and therein be preserved for the Wisdom of God preserves all things that are preserved And Children with the Wisdom of God all God's Creatures must be ordered and they that come into the Wisdom of God Mark they must first come into the fear of God for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and the fear of God is to depart from Iniquity even from every Evil Way And before any can depart from their Iniquity they must first see their Iniquities before they can see their Iniquities their Sins and Evil Deeds they must first hear the Light which they are enlightned withal which will tell them that they are in Iniquity and also shew them their Sins and Evil Deeds And Children they that hear the Light they hear God for God is Light and they that hear God they hear Christ also for God and Christ are One as saith the Scripture and they that hear Christ hear the Author of the True Faith and so hear the Saviour of their Souls and the Light is that Prophet which all that hear not him are to be cut off Now Children that which moves or leads or draws to Lying to Swearing to Dissimulation to Pride to Covetousness to Wilfulness to Stubbornness to Envy to Rashness to Wildness to Disobedience to Parents or Masters or Dames when they command that to be done by you which you ought to do or that which moves draws or leads you into Gaming or into any manner of Evil whatsoever the same moves and draws and leads you from hearing the Voice of God And that which moves draw● and leads into any Evil that i● the Devil and going into the Evil which the Devil tempts to that hardneth the Heart and the Heart being hardned that stop● the Ear that should hear Gods Voice Therefore Children mind that which will shew you all the Motions and Temptations of the Devil and hear that which will tell you your Thoughts for that is God the Light who is the Word and the Word is as a Hammer to break the hard Heart and the Heart being broken into Tenderness then the Mercy and Virtue of God will be felt to heal again And then the presence of God will be witnessed for the Lord dwells with those that are of a broken and contrite Spirit and tremble at his Word and in his presence is fulness of Joy as say the Scriptures So little Children Learn of the Light which is Christ who is meek and Lowly in the Heart and he will teach you to be meek and lowly and patient and innocent and harmless and to live in true Love and Tenderness and Obedience and Honesty and Uprightness toward God and toward Men and then ye will find Rest and Peace for your Souls Now Children the wisdom of the Lord God is more precious then all the riches of the world They that are of a froward stubborn crooked envious rash fretting Nature they shall not be acquainted with the Wisdom of God But they that fear the Lord and are of a tender humble meek patient lowly Spirit they shall be filled with true Wisdom and Understanding They that are wild and studborn and run into wicked and prophane Language and Sport themselves in Vanity and live in disobedience the Lord God will overtake them with his Judgments before they are aware of them The End of a disobedient stubborn wicked Man who will not depart from his wi●●●●●ness shall be full of Torment Sorrow and Misery But the End of an Upright and Perfect man who delighteth himself in the Way of the Lord shall be full of Joy and Comfort Peace in the Lord. The Way of the Lord which is the way of Holiness and the Path of the Just is the bright shining Light which shi●eth ●ore and more until the perfect Day And the bright shining Light is that which will shew you your evil Words and your evil Deeds and your evil Thoughts and will chek and reprove you for them and this is the way wherein ye should walk Every good and perfect Gift comes from God and the Gift of God is perfect and God gives Gifts even to the
