bad Therefore whatsoever is Transacted by any Man or by and from the Doctrine of any Religion that destroys Love Duty and Obedience either against God or Man or their Laws and Commands it doth murder kill and destroy the Spirit of God in that Man or in his Religion from serving God in the true Religion in Spirit and in Truth viz. with Christs true heavenly Spirit in love to God and Man for without that Spirit of Love it being quite extinct in Man ●o Man can possibly live in the Body from distraction and destroying himself if left to himself and it is as impossible that any Man can be saved out of the Body for without Christ's Spirit of Love no Man can possibly be saved it being the Trumpet that must and will sound in the Ears of all Mankind to call and awaken them from Death to Life whose Spirits being Dead with Adam's decayed Spirit of Love must be revived with Christ's quickning Spirit of Love or else of all Creatures Man is the most miserable Therefore I beseech you for the Lord's sake have a serious Consideration to Examine and try your selves by the above said Test whether there be in your Souls Christ's true and sincere heavenly Spirit in love to God and Man without any defection and let every one repent and be converted to the Knowledge of the Lord For it is said the time comes that every one shall know the Lord from the least to the greatest viz. that the Father Son and Holy Spirit a Trinity in one Spirit shall be found out as certainly known in every Man 's own self by the Spirit of Truth which shall lead you into all Truth The Spirit of the Comforter Christ's Spirit of Love which is in you and is the only Spirit that will or can save you and the only Comfort that none can take from you and the only undeniable Spirit wherewith to serve God in Spirit and in Truth Therefore make haste to the gaining the said Spirit of Christ through earnest violent and fervent Prayers for nothing else can preserve your Souls from everlasting Ruin in perpetual darkness in the horrid torturing Flames of Hell Fire with the Devil and his Angels and nothing can be more dreadful and terrible for the rouzing up every one from their stupidly acquiessing in the uncertainty of their own Salvation and with all speed to make their Calling and Election sure by the infallible certainty thereof through Christ's Spirit herein by divine Inspiration plainly demonstrated for the fulfilling of Scripture and that all Mankind concerned delay not to redeem themselves out of the Captivity of their confused Babel and that no Man beguile you in a voluntary humility and Worshipping of Angels which things have indeed ● shew of Wisdom in Will Worship and Humility Col. 2.1.23 And give 〈◊〉 heed to their seducing Spirits who teach the Doctrine of ●evils and are known by forbidding to Marry and to abstain from M●ats ●im 4.3 making Godliness great gain From such turn away and turn unto the Lord For why will yee die O ye House of Israel saith the Lord. Therefore I must again beseech you for the Lord's sake for the saving your own Lives that every Man would Attract to himself a self-denial from the many dissentions in the various Opinions about Religion and that all would with a fixt Resolution by Prayer Center their Hearts in that one only Word that was with God and was God and was made flesh in Christ Love For all Men were made from one Spirit of Love and all should by the Christian Religion live as Brethren in one Spirit of Love wherein the perfection of all Religion doth wholly and solely consist in gaining increasing and preserving the said Spirit of Love to God which Law of God in which are all the Commandments hath from the beginning is and will be written to the end of the World in every Man's Heart all naturally concluding without Conversie that none can be saved without Love to God which being Christ's Spirit doth fulfil all the Law and the Prophets and all God's Commands and doth contain in it the whole Body Soul and Spirit of Divinity Wherefore then should there be so many Divisions with the bitter envyings and strife amongst Christians when it is earthly sensual and devilish with confusion and every evil work James 3.14 And when nothing else but love can passify Wrath and cover a multitude of Sins and cleanse from all Iniquity and save the Soul from an irreyocable Ruine which that it may Reign in all your Hearts to center all into the one only Religion in Unity Peace and Purity being the perfection of Religion The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Amen FINIS
