I the Ordinanses appointments of God in the Church I ansvver Nay Answer And as concerning the exercys of povver Dominion throuh men over others this I say That al the Powers and Dominions that ar or hav been sins the entrans of transgression to this day hav been raised suffered to arys by God ether in mercy or judgment to them over whom it hath bin exercysed that every soul ouht to be subject to the hyer power The power to be obeyed what ever the instruments 〈◊〉 but let such tâk heed how they abus the Power which al who resist resist the ordinans of God what ever the Instruments or Persons be throuh whom the power is administred be they Gentel or froward wiked or godly and in câs they do abus the power commited unto them turning the sword bakward siting up such as work wikednes making a prey of such as depart from Iniquity yet ouht non to seek by outward fo rs in rebellions insurrections to oppos or resist them but wherin for consciens sâk towards God any cannot obey their unjust unryteos laws and commands they ouht to be subject by Patient suffering in the fear wisdom of God bearing their Testimony against the evil so commiting their souls into the hand of God as unto A faithful Creator Thus the trù Christians did stil do in so doing the spirit of glory resteth On such in du tym the Lord God of faithfulnes wil clear their Innocency caus it to shyn forth as the lyt his Iust wrath vengeans to tà k hold on that spirit Power by vvhich they hav bin mà d unjustly to suffer It is the sâm spirit not the sâm Nam mâks the sâm Minister or ordinans of Christ. And as concerning the ordinanses Appoyntments of God in the church this I say that as God hath so he stil doth sit appoynt in the church Profets Apostels Evangelists Pastors and teachers with other helps in Government altho they hav not now the sâm Nâms yet appearing in the sam spirit and Power ar in truth substans the sam which shal continu in the church until that end be accomplished in Mankynd for which they ar Appoynted by God to wit for the work of the Ministry in gathering and Perfecting the saints the Edification of the Body of Christ until al com into the unity of the faith Knowledg of the Son of God unto A perfect man unto the mesur of the statur of the fulnes of Christ But som may say shal man Kynd be brouht Or Redeemed into such A stat Obj. II I answer Yea And the ground or reason of my faith Answ hôp heerin is first becaus the Lord God of Lyf Wisdom Power and faithfulnes hath promised and mà d a Covenant with his own seed in man kynd and throuh his Servants the Holy Profets declared that it shal be so The promis Covenant of God in man kynd the ground of al trâ— faith hóp to which the scripturav a witnes That the seed of the woman shal bruis the hed of the Serpent that al the familys of the Erth shal be blesed in throuh it that into it the gathering of the Peepl shal be that it shal hav the heathen for its inheritans the utmost parts
of the Erth for its possession rul them with a rod of iron al its enemys becom its footstool that as a ston cut out of the mountain without hands it should smyt the Imag ' to wit the Powers of sin darknes in the feet therof so that the Yron Clay Silver Gold therof to wit al the strength Glory of the Power Kingdom of Darknes from the foundation to the Top ston in that cursed building shal be broken to pieces together becom as chaf which the wynd carrieth away that the ston should becom a great mountain fil the whol Erth And the Dominion of sin transgression shal be finished an end put therunto everlasting Ryteosnes be raised up established in Man Kynd they in it that as in Adam al dyed so in Christ the seed al shal be mâd alyv as sin hath reined unto Deth so Grâs shal Rein throuh Ryteosnes the seed unto everlasting lyf John in the Spirit of Profesy heard him that sat on the Thrôn say Behold I mak al things new saw the new Hevens the new Erth wherin ryteosnes dweleth the Holy City the new Jerusalem into which nothing that defyleth or worketh abomination can enter or that maketh a ly but they who ar writen in the Lambs Book of Lyf wherby was for shewn The restoration of the seed Christ in mâl and femâl of them in it to that pur Dominion Glory which he had with the Father in Man-kynd Man-kynd in him befôr the foundation of the World which lyeth in wikednes began The promis fulfild in the hed many members a strong ground of Hôp II. Secondly he hath alredy in mesûr mád thos promises Covenant good performed it to in som to wit in Christ Jesus that Lamb of God who was the first begoten from the Ded the Hed of the Body the Church in whom the Eternal Word of Lyf the Seed of God slain from the foandation of the World which lyeth in wikednes was brouht forth in its Holy Pur perfect Estat of innocency in whom the old Serpent the Divel the Tempter found no Plas who pased the tym of his sojourning heer on Erth in that mortal body in the pur fear lyt lyf Wisdom Power of God his Father faithfully finishing the work given him by the Father to do in the sam Eternal pur Spirit offered up himself again unto God without spot returned into the Bosom of the Eternal Father fountain of lyf from whens he câm proceeded As also dyvers of the Saints and Holy Men of God by and throuh a participation of the Sam Eternal pur fulnes of God which dwelt in him wer turned from the darknes to the lyt from the Power of Sathan to the Power of God and witnesed Salvation from sin and had learned to deny al ungodlynes worldly lusts and to liv soberly Ryteosly holyly in this present World wer clensed from al filthines of flesh and Spirit and had overcom the wiked ón wer mâd free from sin becom the Servants of Ryteosnes risen with Christ siting together in hevenly plases in Christ Jesus and wer com to the new Jerusalem to Mount Syon the city of the living God to the innumerabel Company of Angels the general Assembly Church of the first born to God the Judg of al and to the Spirits of just men mâd perfect in them III.

Fourthly The Day is now com in which an end to the World which lyeth in wikednes shal be put the Kingdom of darknes sin and transgression finished and the pur and everlasting Ryteosnes of God to wit Christ in mâl and femâl be mád manifest in and throuh mankynd and mankynd in it reconcyled to God and to ón another in the ever lasting Covenant of lyf never mor to be forgoten in which the whol creation shal hav deliverans from the bondag of corruption in to the glorios liberty of the Sons of God The grouâ—d of al outward Rul ordinanses in Church stat declared And as concerning al Rûl Dominion Authority Power whatsoever that hath bin or shal be exercysed in throuh man over others wirh al the Ordinanses Appointments of God in the Church The ground of the Rys Manifestation Administration Continuans of them al was is mans transgression in sining departing from the Lord the lyt Spirit power of God in the inward parts And mans Restoration redemtion from sin transgression returning again unto the Lord in obediens to the lyt Spirit The most universal gathering greatest glory to be after the Apostacy and power of God in the inward parts puteth an end unto them al. But according as it was fôrseen fôrtold by the Spirit of Christ in the Holy Apostels a faling away Apostacy from the tru Christian faith lyf should com that the most spreding manifestation of the most Excelent glory day of the Lord the most universal gathering into him was not to com except ther cam ' first a faling away the Man of sin revealed and Holy Paul in his Advys to the over seers of the flok told them that after his departur greevos wolvs would enter in amongst them not sparing the flok that from among themselvs should men arys speaking pervers things to draw Discypels after them further said that the Mistery of Iniquity did then already begin to work John in his Epistel advyseth them to whom he wrot to try the Spirits not to beleev every Spirit becaus many fals Profets wer then gon out into the World The â—ôp confesseth that the Christ cam in that on body of flesh saying that every Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is com into the flesh is not of God that was the Spirit of Antichrist of which they had heard that it should com said then that it was already com into the VVorld that they went out from Among themselvs And so it was that the seed of the Serpent having found Plâs in som beguyling them as of old he did Eva drawing their mynds from the simplicity of the Spirit of Christ in them leading them out into the World Inclyning their hearts after outward visibel things it ceased not working even in a mystery of
