and then makes you Persecutors and Murderers like Cain and so not doing well ye do not rule over sin but sin gets into you and rules over you and the Lord God hath no respect to such nor their Offerings nor Sacrifices nor fair Speeches nor good Words that do not well But if ye do well then the Lord God will accept you as you may see in Gen. 4. And Christ saith Blessed is that faithful Servant whom the Lord when he comes shall find so doing to wit doing the will of God Christ said to his Disciples when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you say we are unprofitable Servants we have done that which was but our duty to do Luke 17 So here you may see that which would beast of his doings is to be kept down and keptout for it is every Servant of Gods duty to do his will And the Jews said unto Pilate Crucifie him Crucifie him to wit Christ and Pilate said three times over What Evil hath he done Luke 23. But the Jews that did evil could not accuse him of any evil that he had done for Ch●●●● to bruise the Serpents head and destroy the Devil and hi● Works and to finish Transgression and to make an end of Sin and to bring ever lasting Righteousness into the Hearts of his People And Peter said Of a Truth I perceive that God is no Respecter of Persons but in every Nation he that fears God and worketh Righteousness is accepted with him So here you may see it is not he that talketh of Righteousness out of the fear of God and worketh not Righteousness is accepted with the Righteous God as in Acts 10.35 For Christ saith Every one that doth evil hates the Light neither comes to the Light lest his Deeds should be reproved Now here you may see who are them that hate the Light of Christ who is the Life in him who enlightens every man that comes into the World every one that doth evil hates the saving heavenly Light of Christ which they should believe in and become Children of the Light and they that do evil and hate the Light neither come to the Light lest their Deeds should be reproved all these Doers of Evil and Haters of the Light of Christ and will not come to it lest their evil deeds should be reproved all such God nor Christ doth not accept their Offerings nor Sacrifices and such that hate the Light of Christ hate Christ though they may preach him and profess him in words yet they persecute and hate the Believers in the Light of Christ which are the Children of the Light and walk in the Light and are the Children of the day of Christ And again Christ saith He that doth Truth comes to the Light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God So it is not he that only talks of Truth but Mark he that doth Truth comes to the heavenly and spiritual Light of Christ that with his spiritual Light he may see his deeds that they are wrought in God this is a blessed work and a blessed sight to see and a happy comfort and a satisfaction to every one and such God doth accept and respect their Offering and all the Children of the Lord are to be tender one to another for Christ saith If I then your Lord and Master have washt your feet ye also ought to wash one anothers feet for I have given you an Example that ye should do as I have done unto you as in John 13. And this is a Practice of Humility in condescending in the tender Light of Christ one to another And John in his general Epistle saith Little Children let no man deceive you he that doth Righteousness is Righteous even as he is Righteous whosoever doth not Righteousness is not of God c. So here you may see it is not the Puft-up Boasters and Talkers of Righteousness but them that do it are of God And was it not the Reason that Cain slew his Brother because his works were Evil and Abel's were Righteous And is it not the cause now of Prisoning and Persecuting both with Tongue and Hand because their Works are Evil and of them that did and doth persecute the Righteous now but let them not be weary in well-doing for in due season they shall reap if they faint not for they that do evil sow to the flesh and shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that is in the Spirit of God sows to the Spirit and shall of the Spirit reap Life Eternal And whatsoever good thing any man doth the same shall he receive of the Lord whether he be bond or free for there is no respect of Persons with God for he doth accept all that are the Servants of Christ and do the Will of God from their Hearts but he that doth wrong receives for the wrong which he hath done for God is no respecter of Persons for he doth render to every man according to his deeds but them who by patience continue in well-doing seek for Glory and Honour and Immortality eternal Life but unto them that are Contentious and do not obey the Truth but obey Unrighteousness Indignation Wrath Tribulation and Anguish upon every Soul of man that doth Evil of the Jew first and also of the Gentile but Glory Honour and Peace to every man that worketh good to the Jew first and also to the Gentile for there is no respect of Persons with God And as Christ saith Every good Tree bringeth forth good Fruit and a corrupt Tree bringeth forth evil Fruit. So by their fruits Trees are known for it is not every one that saith Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven but he that doth the Will of my Father which is in Heaven So here you may see that it is not only the Talkers of God and Christ that enter into the Kingdom of God but every one that hears the Sayings of Christ and doth them is likened to a Wise man which built his House upon a Rock that neither the Rain Floods nor Wind shall beat it down because it is founded upon a Rock but every one that hears the sayings of Christ and doth them not is likned to a foolish man which built his House upon the Sand and the Rain and the Floods and the Winds beat upon his House and it falls and great is the fall of it These are them that do not the Will of God these are the Sayers and not Doers these are them that walk not in the Light nor Grace nor Truth nor Spirit nor Gospel of Christ these are the Hearers of the Word but not Doers of the Word which deceive their own selves and are likned to a man that beholds his natural face in a Glass and streight way forgets what manner of man he was but that man which is the doer of the Work and the Word of God is blessed in his deed to him
