THE AVRAVJOHN His THEOUS ORI APOKOLIPIKAL Or Gods Light declared in Mysteries Salem Ori ad te Israel Beware of false Prophets that come to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves But behold Christ hath told you By their fruit you shall know them Beloved God is love and love is light and in it is no darkness at all So then know he that is in light acts in love not lust and he that acts not in love is in darkness even till now I will pour out my Spirit in the last days and that Spirit shall be your alone teacher saith the Lord my God Jehovah Ire ad te O England Theauraujohn Tanni Dedicated to the Army and the risen people in all Lands coming forth in the first fruits in the Evangelical operation Rev. 14.1 And so a lamb stood on Mount Sion and with him an hundred forty and four thousand having his Fathers name written in their foreheads To these is the dedication of this Book and their eyes behold the Truth none else I have added to this Book the particular Charges in the Indictment against Captain Robert Norwood and myself and my Defence against the Charge London Printed for the Author and are to be sold by Giles Calvert at the Black-Spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1651. Dearly beloved THe word grafted in our souls makes oneness in unione in our lives and conversation for God teaches us to be like himself in love Dearly beloved I am constrained to publish to the view of the world the writing I have declared It is to a tittle without alteration as every Epistle stands in his place without adding or diminishing one tittle upon my oath I will affirm though sometime I was out of my self yet the Charge of calumny upon me being so great I am forced to declare my greatest weakness which might have been in obscurity But I beseech the courteous Reader know that the great sound and name of things are not the very things themselves for if so Christ and his Apostles suffered justly all whereas charged upon them but Christ and his Apostles were one truth and the dark world persecuted them even unto death now know that the new heaven and the new earth is not yet erected in the generality and till that work of Grace and power come there is and must be enmity betwixt light and darkness condemn not things by another mans sight but know that thou whosoever thou art must be saved in thy own sight and light and not in another mans Every man must give an account of himself but brethren I am accounted a blasphemer now I am come to try the truth in your Gospel the Gospel in me that you account blasphemy hath made me act strangely and whether truly or no according to the truth in the same Gospel I commit to judgement Now if you condemn me for blasphemy and my actions are the very substance that Gospel or writing points at or unto I say that then my blasphemy is holiness and you are found blasphemers with your high cry of holiness Now brethren I must have you come from your high cry of names and by things you are and must be justified and I will put in my actions in the balance because I am but one and many against me First know that after fourteen weeks in humiliation in fasting and Prayer frequently Then the power fell upon me in my shop and smote me dumb then after blinde and then dead in the beholding of hundreds of people then I was corded and bound in my bed and then I received instruction which afterwards I was forced to put the same into action which was this Distribute all to the poor Release all pawns without advantage give back to them that were not able to redeem fain to proclaim if I had injured or wronged any man to restore him four-fold according to the Law Brethren the name of this would not serve me for I was forced to act the thing I durst not act any thing O beloved the Gospel is peace in it self but 't is a fiery Law to flesh and blood Now how have I walked since my affliction can any man charge me either for drinking swearing whoring or deceiving or lying or uncivil walking which do you know and all the world that blasphemy is the root on which them names depend and where a godly life is there these actions are not to be found and where godliness is not in the root or soul these are and will be for know that blasphemy is onely the tye in the soul of man loosed from its principle of obedience and from that loosness comes a dissoluteness in life and take Christs own word which is this By their fruits that is actions you shall know them Again what end or advantage have I sought to my self ever since as my Epistles will declare now I say the love of Christ hath constrained me hereunto which is not blaspemy but love in truth without deceit Now brethren you that are so high in holiness in name I come to see what things you declare for the Gospel is not a lying name but an over-powring and commanding thing who amongst you is gone beyond this blasphemy I have stated and who is but short of what I have spoken and done he is a blasphemer and a perjured man for 't is written Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain and have ye not all learned and heard that it is not speaking but doing is the justification of him that doth it and a declaration to the world that God hath done his work in him from whence this doing doth proceed So then be ye hearers no more deceiving your own selves but doers O how many high expressions of Christ and holiness and the Lord help you before five pound to help to relieve him in need nay five shillings now if you say that the Gospel is true I say 't is made a lye by you for that being truth commands thee not to speak without acting and thou speakst all and acts not which action is the life of the Gospel and in truth and indeed how many of you are without the Gospel for your cloak Jam. 1.27 Pure religion and undefiled before God even the Father is this To visit the fatherless and widows in their adversity and to keep himself unspotted of the world Brethren this is a metaphorical expression but I will give you the literal meaning that is this the fatherless hold in it all that are in need for as the Father is the staffe on which the whole Creation depends so the fatherless amongst us is all that are in want so as God in his mercy and love condescends to our relief so to condescend to the fatherless is no less then helping all in need the widow is but the same for to give out to the capacity of our knowing our duty that we may be left without excuse for

glory nay one glory for when as we say to do well 't is all one to him or when we do ill 't is the same neither adding to him nor diminishing from him who is asa oli pene mem delos in se salu in rem emanet al. The goodness in man proveth no advantage to God or the evilness in man hurteth him not for know once come to be man that is in propriety of speech you cannot act out of his will as you call it but God hath no will for he Is and Is hath no will Now to come to lay down unto you some methodical method that that you may take from that some instruction or inlighten your understanding The Text is this Love one another O allu selos in rem Evangelies in se arri el. O the loveliness turns men into Angels with God himself in the Celestial center O avaran in sal moniam in re faciunter ad amalam The Love in us ties us to one another in love and being made in love by that love are taken into the heavenly center of eternal rest O amorum in se salvorum in re semper apellorum O the loveliness in love is the extract of beauty from God himself Beloved That you could but see your selves to be your true selves then loveliness is your royal ornament in the excellentest transcendent magnificentest manner O noble love that unnobles the noblest Nobles of their accounted nobility and implants its nobleness in them then are they truly nobled noble Beloved God did let down the nobility of his royal Creation in unione that is in love and how came thence detraction it is for want of love in themselves Thus God loved us that he gave his son Jesus which is a Saviour for to suffer for us this was love Now how this Saviour suffered 't is not understood First God created all good then the detraction or falling away was the fall Thus for God to have a detraction in him it cannot be for God cannot detract from himself Now beloved man detracted or fell what was the reason it was for wanting love now I beseech you minde as man detracted for want of love 't is the same in you for love ties the true-loves knot for love there is no end of it neither beginning for 't is God himself in himself Selose in re ex id in amalam ar Love is the heavenly and divine beautifyer of that that was evil in it self thus thy envy malice and lust and every contrariety if once love come to erect his throne thou art turned into love thy acts are in love so far that from night thou art turned into cleer day O beloved I can but speak what I know of love but I cannot confer it to you the naming it to you will not confer it to your precious souls Now beloved I shall speak a strange doctrine to what hath been taught unto you by your Ministers they say Do this and do that good work now mistake me not for in that good work though good to another yet 't is not thy goodness for know untill thou be crucified in thy self thy actions are dead though never so great and good to another Thus saith the Scripture Be dead to live how is that word meant that word is a glorious truth in its originy for he that speaks it is the Lord whose power is in that word to cause a death unto thy lustful living life and from that death raiseth himself in his own power then thou actest from the true living principle for thou art crucified to the world through the operation of Gods spirit then thou art in unione with God through ●esus Christ which was Gods mercy letten down in the power of that word and by that power did cause a death in thee to bring forth himself in thee thou declaring by acting mercifulnesses that thon art in God he in thee so an uni●ne a marriage is made betwixt thee and God by the living word of his power that causes such an effectual death to cause his glorious life in thee to raign in glory unto himself So beloved You see that man is nothing but passive in propriety of speech and nothing but God is mans free all Now beloved thus I prove it thus man had nor hath no true originality but in God for forth from him in the power of his word were we created there was our first state in created appearances well we no sooner were men but we were in need of mercy for I say that the created was tyed upon the obedience which obedience implies and cannot be denyed but there is some wanting and then not perfection in mans first state created Now I shall brethren discover to you through Gods mercy that that is hid to the sons of men I beseech you minde for Jesus sake these words are perfect in their center Thus Jesus is the Saviour which is but thus much the declarative of Gods mercy Now I prove by reason and you shall all be witness to what I say and let no mans passion be prevalent over his understanding thus God gave forth a Creation Now minde God gave in that creation a life that was not created neither could nor never can detract This is in the whole Creation in every figure living and accounted dead with us for there is in every appearance a living life that though it is the primum mobile yet it is not of the body nor receiveth from the body but 't is it self raigning in all storms and tempests in man which thing is typifyed out in that typication of Moses and Paul saw it it lies within the inmost vail which must not be lookt upon no the high-Priest must go into that vail but once a year That was thus much typified that that one yeer was a time representing every one intire figure or man that must be looked upon at the time in Gods mercy Now beloved That time of Gods looking into that inmost vail of ours 't is I may say the opening all the other vails and that is our departing from this world and then he takes that living life of our spirit into himself for that is the divine nature that cannot detract his essence this is Gods figure in man for minde who is it saith Let us make man in our own image saith the Bible or riddle Now them words are falsly translated I will insert the true Text. Anni Elohim Sambah allu salvah in re them two words of Latin are to make the full import in the state The true declared text is this Be thou like me in the humanity of my Creation Beloved Brethren in that state Re lies the import it is the Creation for we count Re a thing and Re is Gods Creation that is Gods thing Now to open the meaning of these words to the learned though as the Lord lives I neither can or ever could read any Hebrew or Greek or any tongues but

then we must live in God no it follows contrary so that our rule is false that we have measured our certainty by for in that state your negative will not hold the affirmative to center in thus I beseech you minde the point is great God is good undenyably by any but for all his creation to be good in themselves that is denyed Thus the essence creative in us is good for 't is Gods image but our discenting from that living life in us causes the evil in us and for want of sight of that good essence causes our detraction to go a whoring after other Gods then we are loosened from the Tye within us yet still the essence of God is in us but by the detracting acts we declare that we are not in God or as you say of God for Christ saith you are of the devil your Father for he was a murther from the beginning how was that he was darkness and light neither darkness nor light what then he was the opposer of light and his stength was to unbase the light or unfoundation the light to erect his own foundation which is darkness and the prevalency of the one is the extirpation of the other that is murthering one another Now know that the light is God darkness is suffered by God which lyes in these two great declaratives of day and night for the day is the night is not the night is and the day is not this is to us but to him that is both night and day all is but one for light and darkness is both one unto the Lord. These two hieroglyphicks of day and night were they but looked upon with enlightned eyes they hold all in them and do fully represent all things and contain under their hieroglyphicie whatsoever is and is not for 't is time O noble time O glorious time this time is our time of our glory but though we are contained in time in time we are loosened from time so time is nothing to us we nothing to that we are two in our distincts both one in God for to him all things is but one but God living in us is manifest but our living in God is Aufnah allah non That is not descernable in any height as the declaratives of England do manifestly declare for we have a name of the thing but 't is a bare name without the thing O Loadicca truly Englands true Emblem neither hot nor cold but lukewarm therefore is thy judgement coming like a smoaking ●ea that will overwhelm thee with violence O the time of thy peace is past destruction begins to enter thy Orbe or habitations for thou labourest to bare rule and sway by violence that is not the Gospels rule but 't is a false rule of thy own making making a noyse of acting righteousness in name but the truth in the root is another thing God looks not at thy outside paintings but sees thy secrets and thy secret actings yet know that God lives in thee but thou livest not in God Thus God lives in thee as thou art essenced in him but thy living in him is not found in thee This is a strange state but to open it it will appear too true to thy sorrow and unexpressable sufferings that are to come Thus minde I prove though God lives in thee thou livest not in him for thou livest in thy self for actions is the true declarative of living the reason is the action is more ponderous or weighty then the word and is a visible declarative to men what is in the heart for the living in God must be declared from the heart obedience to be declared in acts of love mercy compassion long-suffering patience this is a demonstrative of God living in thee nay thy living in God then is truth when the negative comes to be read from an affirmative state that is thus when thy will is unwilled and willed again in obedience to act righteosness then thou art in God and God in thee and both in one This was spoken by Paul when he was in his updraft the life that I now live is in the Son of God and 't is not I but he in me I in him Here was before an affirmative and a negative then by acts secondly two negatives thirdly both affirmatives fourthly one acting distributive which is mercy mercy is God and man drawn into that center is made one spirit so an unione betwixt God and man I speak your term to let you understand but men is not man but I pass Now you will say that man hath free-will and again man hath not free-will here is the main work in the disputing creation First I say man had free-will in his first state now you are pleased then I say that man hath not free-will in his second State now you are pleased But to define what is meant in this mystery The Spirit of God is the true establishment of both First man was man which in his proper essencial center is perfect God we in him did act his will because we in that will were ●ncluded in what act soever he acted we in it all our all was in him Now minde we by and in that will issued forth still the will was free but minde that state held not long after we were created For Angels will was strength and that strength and the motion by that strength caused the fall from the freedom of will then out of this fall came we that we call men which declarative of number is a declarative of weakness being in count with us for strength is when the numbers are drawn into one that one is God the centred centred Center But to come to term or name Addam that is as you conceive as we are but you say he was perfect that point will not be convenient in that state to speak to nor at that this time Thus the will in Addam was free though he was in flesh but thus the motion of that will was tied upon the principle of obedience now obedience denied free-will buried but not lost for from that graue in which the stem lies buried the celestial strength causes a resurrection to obedience and then free-will is produced out of that grave that held the free-will in captivity then your will is free-will because in obedience and obedience is free-will and no other thing Now men hath not free-will by reason of weakness t is comprehended under that term men but when you come to be proper man then free-will is your proper strength to ca●●t in righteousness for Christ is the freedom of will nay your obedience will Now as man had in his first strength free-will so in Christ restored man hath his freedom of will renued to his first original Principle that is in God by obedience in Christ that is our freedom in him for we are bound in our selves and free in him for if the Son have made you free then shall ye be free indeed Glavo

accuser of our brethren what is this he that doth deceive the very same doth accuse that is still the dark spirit of unbelief in man that is the called devil that must be cast forth into ntter darkness where and when when the spirit of light is taken into the center of light which is in God himself the body Evangelical into the paradaical living the evil spirit or lust or deceiver or destrover into darkness in the grave or hell for the grave is denominated hell or the grave Now the papal faction hath made this fine cheating definition Ouse se antimon ante tere elomon in se evan Haluleiah in se bene n●l pethrat alli evan asareth sephi The Hegemonians or Papists do declare that there is three states for the refining the soul of man The first is here by penance Secondly In Purgatory by indulgence Thirdly in the bosom of Abraham which is rest after refinement This opinion is not new for Pope Boniface the first was the inventer of this exhausting sum of sums into the Clergies tuition for you being not perfect hereby Penance may have your indulgence or remission out of Purgatory for mony and so by consequence the kingdom of heaven is earned by Prayers or purchased by mony forgetting the word of Saint Peter their main piller that when mony was offered to purchase the holy Spirit by the Sorcerer Simon Magus Thy mony perish with thee so say I thy Prayers that are founded on that foundation to purchase or payfor Gods free mercy they perish and come to nothing But beloved know there is nothing lost but all that is come forth is refined acting his end he came for and returns to his center Now beloved know that the New-Testament we have at the third hand for the originality is in the Bible and must hold coherent in unione with the truth there for 't is but an illustrative by the Spirit of that unione maxim now to come to the Bible there is truth and the lye in the insert but that came through innocent ignorance in not knowing the weight or import of the originality of the various maxims that are herogliphically typed out in the Hebrew radiases for one radax by the litteral man is taken for another for onely the spirit that is light doth demonstrate the truth from his own lettings down which learned man cannot reach Now to cite the radaxes where the first error took denomination the first is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 phe for she is read in many places for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 being both much like our English great C standing with her points backward in the English Alphabet the one is in the interpretation an impead or hinderance and and the other is the great influ of all the radaxes for the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 phe she is the cleerness of obscurity or the transcendency of beauty ●n her state now she is in her self radical 3 4 5. she is the golden number thus cleerness comes from her root for she is bottomed on 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shinn for that state but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 before Shinn and then the state will bare perfection for they are both one now to know by stating a Character by another the mystery is to know the weight of both together several by themseves in any place of adjunct or conjunct in essency and derivacy and in examinacy and in definacy and admonicy in admittancy and conjuncksie and disjuncksie c. but to come from these high sphears and to begin to plow in this terrestrial field I Theaurau-John-Eval-alsi-al allah al do declare this day before all you people and desire you to declare from me this day That though Election and Reprobation be stated in the New-Testament so called it is absolute blasphemy and I in my masters Ma●esty do challenge the whole world to answer and cleer the stated lye for it hath no originality and 't is fathered upon Paul which is a fained fiction and he that ended the Revelation of John the Expositor to lay a curse upon him that addeth or diminisheth 't is false and no original ●or its ●oundation but to binde men in an obedient fear to bring them in and keep them subject to the Popes supremacy Brethren though you do idolize that that hath set the world on fire it is but a bead Idol composed to hold men in obedience to time and state This I shall shortly declare for the life of all things is Christ the Lord which is the mercy of God taking us into it self that is the summum bonum the chief all or the chief good but 't is not so proper in that state as the chief all Now Brethren your Bible and New-Testament their originality is truth for 't is Gods declarative but for you to conceive the Book called Old and New-Testament to be true that is false for know their descent to us is from the Romish fingering interweaving and painting in their traduced opinion now we have that they have added to for there is an addition but no diminution but making multitudes of riddles to keep the peoples brains from idleness to keep all inslaved unto themselves Now Brethren let me speak plainly to you what have they or you to do with the writings of the Apostles why truly nothing at all for they were that thing that you have gotten the bare name of it this was such a ones words what is that to thee except his Spirit that is the substance of these lettered names be in thee then thou art it it thee before thou art but a lyer and thou art a thief for thou lookest to come in by the name which is not the thing neither the true way for the truth of Pauls words are the spirit seated in thee and thou by that spirit art made to act outward obedience from that inlightned and renued principle which is centered within thee from whence flows acts of mercy relief and pitty and compassion nay thou comest to be one acting distributive then Pauls words are thy words nay Paul is thee thou art Paul for light is but one spirit O agomeon in se alphy sele rem O the hidden thing when light is centered will show it self elohim ackki el selos in re affermater in rebeah sal oli penan arri afaniel The English The God of strength doth cause a resurrection from death to life by his own quickning Senat ori alsiel The living God doth give life to all Now Brethren concerning hell and the devil as you take them words in their center there is none as the Lord lives for hell and torment is when the light begins to appear and casteth forth darkness into utter darkness But to lay down some method to prove it thus I intreat your patience First know that there is but one originality out of whose product all things is produced this you cannot deny then God said all was good 't is Gods own word
