Seeds is placed by the Lord so the Victory is obtained by joyning with That of Him where his Power will be witnessed according to his Promise But in vain it is for any ever to expect the Victory who will not enter into the Warfare so as to have the Serpent's Head broken who will not joyn with the other Seed against it so as to have Sin to dye who will not deny themselves of their Sins but give liberty to their Lusts for there can be no dying of Sin until there be a dying of that which brings it forth For as the Scripture declares God made Man upright but they have sought out many inventions Eccles 7.29 But he was not so created in the many Inventions but in the Image of God Gen. 1.26 The Evil was of Man's finding out for the Lord commands Such a thing thou shalt not do Gen. 2.16 17. Now although the Command was Thou shalt not eat Man through Temptation aspiring thinking to be High fell Low acts contrary to the Command and so broke it The Transgression of the Law is Sin 1 John 3.4 And as Sin came at the first by breaking the Command of God so whilst there is a running on to be guided by that which at the first brought Sin there can be no dying of Sin but adding Sin to Sin and filling up the Measure of Iniquity But as there is a hearkening and giving up in obedience unto that Divine Light within which checks and reproves for Sin then the other part which leads forth the Creature unto the acting of Sin comes to be denied and so Sin will dye Obj. But if any shall say Is there this Light in every one Ans The Scriptures declare of Christ I am the Light of the World John 8.12 And John the Fore-runner of Him saith That he was not that Light but was sent to bear witness of that Light that was the true Light which lighteth every Man that comes into the World John 1.8.9 And Christ who was the true Light compares the Kingdom of Heaven unto a Man travelling into a far Country who called his Servants and delivered unto them his Goods unto every Man according unto his several ability Mat. 25.14 15. And the Apostle Paul saith The Grace of God which bringeth Salvation hath appeared unto all Men Tit. 2.11 Who can this deny but that there hath that appeared unto them which if hearkened unto and obeyed would have redeemed them from the Evil of their Ways they coming into the Obedience So this Light wherewithal Christ Jesus hath enlightned every one that comes into the World doth shine in the dark Understanding of the Creature Mankind although the Darkness does not comprehend it as John 1.5 Light shines in Darkness and the Darkness comprehends it not Yet notwithstanding as John 3.19 This is the Condemnation that Light is come into the World and Men love Darkness rather than Light because their Deeds are evil All which I witness according to these Scriptures That there was a Light a Measure of that which was pure of God in me which appeared unto me which did convince of Sin and Evil Deeds time after time this did shine into my Understanding although the Darkness was such in me that this Light could not be known by it Yet it was there and this Light was my Condemnation in secret when contrary thereunto I acted That which in the first place did convince of Sin and Evil Deeds did afterwards rise up in me and condemn me And this all must witness all that will not be obedient thereunto must be slain by him yea all his Enemies that will not have him to Reign over them Luke 19.27 Therefore in vain it is for any to expect him to be their Saviour in their Sins for he was not given by God for that end but to Save his People from their Sins Mat. 1.21 But if any shall say Is this possible ever for any to be saved from their Sins whilst they are here And may say If any say We have no Sin we deceive our Selves 1 John 1.8 I Answer doth not the same Apostle say 1 John 3.9 Whosoever is Born of God doth not commit Sin for his Seed remaineth in him and he cannot Sin because he is Born of God Here is mention of a Seed remaining in him which cannot Sin because he is Born of God Now this doth the Scriptures reconcile which seem to be at odds to know the two Seeds in Mankind what Seed that is that doth Sin and what Seed that is that doth not Sin neither can Sin for this know and this you may likewise feel within As there is one Seed that calls upon and leads forth the Creature for to act Wickedness so there is another that could never consent thereunto but was burthened by Transgression yet did reprove in secret and if it had been hearkened unto and obeyed then it would have been exalted in Men and set above the other and so have ruled in the Creature and the Creature being therewith guided would be kept from Sin for he that doth Righteousness is Righteous even as Christ is Righteous and the other which committeth Sin is of the Devil 1 John 3.7 9. And for this purpose was the Son of God manifested that he might destroy the Works ef the Devil and to take away Sin as in the 5th verse which is seen and witnessed to be the end and purpose of God sending his Son but first he must be known to be Judge to condemn Sin in the Flesh as the Apostle declares Rom. 8.3 For what the Law could not do in that it was weak thorow the Flesh God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful Flesh and for Sin condemned Sin in the Flesh And this is by Christ's Appearance who said Mat. 10.34 Think not that I come to send Peace on Earth I come not to send Peace but a Sword And he says John 9.39 For Judgment am I come into the World He comes first to break their Peace who have been at quiet and asleep in their Wickedness before he speak Peace unto them and so every one must know him as in Isaiah 33.22 The Lord is our Judge the Lord is our Law-giver the Lord is our King and he will Save us And whoso doth not know him thus knows him not savingly at all Therefore all you who do not know God any otherways but by hearsay and are only looking upon things without your Ignorance I pity and in love to your Souls as I am moved of the Lord I have written this unto you for to inform your Understandings where you are to wait to hear the Voice of God and the same obeying your Souls may live Therefore every one in particular turn your Ear the Ear of your Soul within hearken do not you hear something within you calling upon you to cease from the Evil of your ways and to do the Good Which being hearkened unto then you will find
