things is God And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a Servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after but Christ as a Son over his own house whose house are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoycing of the hope firm unto the end Heb. 3. 1. to the 8. And make your calling and election sure for if ye do these things ye shall never fail for so an entrance shall be administred unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 2 Pet. 1. 9 10. Thus saith the Scriptures I say where there is no calling and what that calling is I have signified it is unto Holiness there is no justification and where there is no justification there is no glorification and this is in Christ Jesus And if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin but the Spirit is Life because of Righteousness But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Therefore brethren we are debters not to the flesh to live after the flesh for if ye live after the flesh ye shall die but if ye through the Spirit do mortifie the deeds of the body ye shall live For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear but ye have received the Spirit of Adoption whereby we cry Abba Father The Spirit it self beareth witness with our Spirit that we are the Children of God and if Children then Heirs Heirs of God and joynt Heirs with Christ if so be that we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together Rom. 8. 10. to the 18. And if ye call on the Father who without respect of persons judgeth according to every mans work pass the time of your sojourning here in fear forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers but with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for you who by him do believe in God who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory that your faith and hope might be in God Seeing that you have purified your souls in the obeying of the Truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently being borne again not of corruptible Seed but of incorruptible by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever For all flesh is grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass the grass withereth and the flower thereof fadeth away but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever And this is the Word which by the Gospel is Preached unto you 1 Pet. 1. 17. to the end So this is the calling and this is the word and this is the hope and this is the Predestination and this is the fore-knowledge and this is the Justification and this is the Glorification viz. Christ Jesus and as men are for him and are found in him not having their own Righteousness which is through the Law but that which is through the faith of Christ the Righteousness which is of God by faith Phil. 3. 9. And where men are not here they are mistaken to talk of these things or to think them theirs They appertain to another state then Transgression which delivers out of it and maketh men indeed the Sons of God and so are Heirs of the Blessing that came on Abraham who believed and it was counted to him for Righteousness of whom God saith I know him that he will command his Children and his houshold after him and they shall keep the Way of the Lord to do justice and judgement that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him Gen. 18. 19. And who raised up the Righteous man from the East called him to his foot gave the Nations before him and made him rule over Kings He gave them as dust to his sword and as driven stubble to his bow Isa 41. 2. And art not thou our God who didst drive out the Inhabitants of this Land before thy People Israel and gavest it to the Seed of Abraham thy friend for ever 2 Chron. 20. 7. And if ye were Abrahams Children ye would do the Works of Abraham but now ye seek to kill me a man that hath told ye the truth which I have heard of God this did not Abraham you do the deeds of your Father Then said they to him we be not born of Fornication we have one Father even God Jesus said unto them if God were your Father you would love me for I proceeded forth and came from God neither came I of my self but he sent me Why do ye not understand my speech Even because ye cannot hear my Word Ye are of your father the Devil and the lusts of your father ye will do He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a lyar and the father of it John 8. 39. to the 45. v. So here 's an end to all this matter Those that the Father hath chosen unto himself it is unto good works which he hath before ordained that they should walk in them We are his work manship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them saith the Apostle Ephes 2. 10. And shew me thy faith without thy works and I will shew thee my faith by my works Faith without works is dead Jam. 2. 18. 20. And the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation hath appeared unto all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live Soberly Righteously and Godly in this present World looking for that blessed Hope and the glorious Appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all Iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar People zealous of good Works Tit. 2. 11. to the end And those that are not redeemed from all Iniquity he hath not given himself to save And those that are not zealous of good Works he hath not purified unto himself a peculiar people And those that deny not Vngodliness and Worldly lusts and live not soberly and righteously and godly in this present World are not such as look for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ And those that have not works their faith is dead and they that walk not
have mercy upon all that is to say that their Eyes being darkned in that state that they may not see and their Ears being stopt that they may not hear and their Backs being bowed down always that which shews them mercy that opens their Eyes and causeth them to see which that state closes that unstops their Ears that boareth them and makes them to hear that which takes of the burden from the shoulder which bowed them down may appear to be of the Lord for in that state there 's no hearing no seeing no standing upright God hath given them the Spirit of Slumber Eyes that they should not see as aforesaid And David the Seed prayes Let their Table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling-block and a recompence to them Let their eyes be darkned that they may not see and bow down their backs alwayes So how can they arise how can they hear how can they see in this state which the Seed hath prayed may not see and that their back may be bowed down alwayes and whom the Lord hath given the Spirit of Slumber eyes that they should not see ears that they should not hear Now that which gives eyes to see ears to hear that takes off the burden that lifts up that awakes out of the slumber is another thing the Election the Seed the Election which obtains where the rest are blinded who continue or are in the state of Reprobation of Vnbelief though Israel once the chosen of the Lord Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for but the Election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded So that which gives to see and to hear that awakens unto God is another thing the Election which sheweth mercy unto whom he will shew mercy and whom he will he hardens that is to say Opens the eyes of those whom it wills to open and whom it wills it shuts that is to say Concludes in Vnbelief that it may have mercy upon them Concludes never to see never to hear never to go upright in that state but in another he hath concluded all in unbelief that he may have mercy upon all not that he may destroy all that he may bring them to see the well-spring of Life which is near them which hath dam'd up the Way to Life by any other way then Christ the Life that which witnesses in them who is the Way the Truth and the Life I am saith he and there 's no other way to life the state of Reprobation of Vnbelief cannot shew it it is uncapable of it it cannot comprehend it cannot see it even the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirt of God for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned 1 Cor. 3. 14. So that which gives to see is another thing that which gives to receive is from another state the hearing ear the seeing eye the Lord hath made even both of them saith the wise man Prov. 20. 12. but he made not Reprobation he made not unbelief or the state thereof that is to say He is not the cause of its being Man â—an into that man brought that O Israel thou hast destroyed thy self but in me is thy help the hearing ear the seeing eye the Lord hath made even both of them and he hath closed the eye and shut the ear of the other that there is no seeing there no hearing unto life in that state It can never see God nor hear his voice it hath neither seen him nor known him Whosoever sinneth hath neither seen him neither known him 1 John 3. 6. It is in another state the seeing and knowing of God In the state which is immortal that never dies nor changes which is that which witnesses and here 's the seeing and here 's the hearing and no where else it is the Word of the Lord and this you will find in the day that he will render unto every man according to his deeds wherein every tongue shall be silent and every mouth shall be stopt and all shall confess that his judgements are just and there will be no covering for man nothing to hide him but he shall be naked and bare before him with whom he hath to do and shall see himself so to be in the day wherein the books shall be opened all that which witnessed shall be remembred and man shall be judged according to what is written in the books And I saw the dead small and great stand before God the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works Rev. 20. 12. All that which witnesses speaks is written in a book and this book shall be opened not a book of Ink and Paper but of Conscience written with the Spirit of the living God that which speaks in Conscience and every man shall be judged out of that and by that which in Conscience witnesses which gives to receive the things of God and nothing else So the Lord hath shut up hath concluded the state of the one in unbelief given them the Spirit of Slumber eyes that they should not see ears that they should not hear that he might have mercy in the other that gives the eye to see and the ear to hear Here 's the two seeds here 's Election and Reprobation here 's the seeing eye and the hearing ear which God hath made even both of them here 's the eye that they should not see the ear that they should not hear which God hath given here 's the conclusion of all in unbelief he hath concluded all in unbelief here 's the end of it that he may have mercy upon all not that he may condemn all and so I have opened this Particular Then as to that Even for this cause have I raised thee up that I may shew my power in thee and that my Name may be declared throughout all the earth which is spoken of Pharaoh I answer This is meant of states So is that viz. Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated as it is written and the Elder shall serve the younger as it was said unto her unto Rebecca before the children were born neither having done any good or evil that the purpose of God according to Election might stand not of works but of him that calleth It was said unto her the Elder shall serve the Younger as aforesaid The Elder Esau which was first in the tran gression that state that was brought forth first after the fall the state of Wrath the state of Reprobation the state of Vnbelief in which all are concluded And were by Nature the children of Wrath even as others saith the Apostle Ephes 2. 3. The first born Esau have I hated but Jacob have I loved before the children were born neither having done any good or evil the Elder shall serve

Heb. 1. 3. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head forasmuch as he is the Image and Glory of God but the woman is the glory of the man For the man iâ— not of the woman but the woman of the man Neither was the man created for the woman but the woman for the man he that reads let him understand for this cause ought the woman to have Power over her head because of the Angels Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman neither the woman without the man in the Lord for as the woman is of the man even so is the man also by the woman but all things of God 1 Cor. 11. 7. to the 13. And as we have borne the Image of the Earthly we shall also bear the Image of the Heavenly 1 Cor. 15. 49. and this is Christ but the woman being deceived was in the transgression the woman that man waâ— not Created for but the woman for the man the woman by whom also the man is as the woman is of the man the woman without whom neither is the man neither the man without the woman in the Lord being deceived was in the Transgression the Creature that was made not the Soul of the Creature the living Soul that of God the Image of God in which the Creature was made God breathed into man the Breath of Life and man became a living Soul the first man Adam was made a living Soul I say the Creature that was made in the Image of God the living Soul that man became after God had breathed into man the Breath of Life and man became a living Soul the first man Adam the Creature that was so made the woman not Adam the living Soul which by this came into death and death came over it and there he remains till the second Adam the quickening Spirit the Lord from Heaven raise it up and deâ—iver it being deceived mistaking the thing was in the Transgression went from the Commandement in the which Adam was not deceived for that testified in the woman that which was taken out of man which proceeded from man for which the man was not Created but that for man without which the man is not nor that without the man in the Lord We may eat of the Trees of the Garden said the woman to the Serpent whilst she stood in the man the Image of God the living Soul the first man Adam into whom God breathed the Breath of Life and man became a living Soul this said she but of the Fruit of the Tree which is in the midst of the Garden the Eternal state of which the Creature is and by which it is preserved from a dependency on which the Creature cannot be that is to say to be as it is without dependancie change or alteration which the Lord alone onely is and the Creature can be never viz. in a state of Independency on God on another nor shall be ever no eating no touching of this fruit of this Tree that groweth in the midst of the Garden no coming to this state by man for ever no coming at it though the Serpent climbing up to it mist and so keeping not his first state drew man thither to fall also God hath said ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it least ye die v. 2 3. Thus said the woman whilst she stood in the man in that in which she was made out of which she was took from which she proceeded thus she answered the living Soul that was not yet under that death was not yet over for she had not yet let it in the first man Adam into whom God breathed the Breath of Life and man became a living Soul the Image of God Righteousness and true holiness the new man which is renewed in Knowledge after the Image of him that Created him as aforesaid Christ Jesus the Lord from Heaven the quickening Spirit who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as if they were the amen the true faithful Witnesse the beginning of the Creation of God that was dead and is alive and behold I am a live for ever more Amen And have the Keys of Hell he that is Holy he that is true he that hath the Key of David he that openeth and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man openeth the first and the last the beginning and the ending saith the Lord which is and which was and which is to come the Almighty Behold he cometh in Clouds and every eye shall see him and they also which piereed him and all Kindreds of the Earth shall wail because of him even so Amen Rom. 4. 17.

So she was not yet deceived He yet spake in her as aforesaid Adam who was not deceived who was not in the Transgression but shewed the Transgression who said in her God hath said and she spake after him God hath said said she c. Now she spake right now she was not deceived whilst she spake after him in her who witnessed who was the Son of Adam who was the Son of God Luke 3. 38. The Seed of the Woman which God said should bruise the Serpents head Gen. 3. 15. who lives for Ever the Root and Off-spring of David whilst she heard him speaking in her and kept there she said God hath said Ye shall not eat thereof neither shall ye touch it least ye die Yea said the Serpent hath God said ye shall not eat of every Tree in the Garden Ther 's somewhat in the matter I 'le tell you a secret tush there 's a state beyond that in the which you
to fall from the state in the which he was made And as he hath not so chosen man since the fall as that he can never be removed from the state unto which he was chosen so neither doth he so will the salvation of all as that all are saved This were to put by the work of Redemption for if he so willed them all should be saved for who hath resisted his Will And what need is there of such a work of Redemption if all by such a willing as this and such of such a willing as this mâ—st be the consequence are effectually saved For as I have said in his will there is Power and who hath resisted his Will And if his Will be not to be resisted what need is there of a work of such a work as Redemption is which cost the Blood of the Son of God and the Travail of his Soul and which cost the sufferings of the Seed the Seed which is Christ Christ in you the hope of Glory My little children of whom I travail in birth again till Christ be formed in you Galath 4. 13. And I am crucified with Christ neverthelesse I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh is by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me Gal. 2. 19. and the Travail thereof ere it be accomplished Now what saith Christ Jesus All things are delivered me of my Father and no man knoweth the Son but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him Matth. 11. 25. And All things that the Father hath are mine John 16. 15. And as the Father raiseth up the Dead and quickneth them even so the Son quickneth whom he will Joh. 5. 21. And this is the Fathers will that hath sent me that of all that he hath given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up again at the last day And this is the will of him that sent me that every one that seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting Life and I will raise him up at the last day John 6. 39 40. Where then is that thing of Salvation to all or that all are saved or that God willeth the Salvation of all This God willeth that all men come to the Son that which reproves that which makes manifest in them that they may have life that all men honor the Son as they honour the Father that they and no others that see the Son and believe on him should have everlasting life and that he should raise up such at the last day and that he should loose nothing of all that the Father hath given him but should raise it up again at the last day that he should quicken whom he will unto whom all things are delivered him of his Father whose are all things that are the Fathers whom no man knoweth but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father but the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will Reveal him Now here stands the case of all men in this particular they must come to the Son as I have said if they will be saved Ye will not come to me said he to the Pharisees that ye might have life John 5. 39. All that the Father giveth me shall come unto me and he that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out John 6. 37. And he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him Heb. 7. 25. So to him must all come that are saved to that in men which shewes them where they are the thoughts and intents of their hearts and judges them Come see a man which told me all things that ever I did is not this the Christ John 4. 29. This is the way to God and no other neither is their salvation in any other for there is none other Name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved Acts 4. 11. And they that are in him are new creatures Old things are passed away behold all things are become new as afore 2 Cor. 5. 17. And he is the Saviour of the body the Church Ephes 5. 23. Who loved the Church the Church which is in God 1 Thes 1. 1. and gave himself for it that he might sanctifie and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word the Word which endures for ever 1 Pet. 1. 25. that he might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinckle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish Vers 25. 26 27. So as through sin and transgression and by reason thereof all men come to be defiled for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God Rom. 3. 23. And all we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one to his own way and the Lord hath laid on him the Iniquity of us all Isa 53. 6. so must all men come to Christ Jesus that which reproves sin that makes manifest transgression in them the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel Heb. 12. 24. to have their Conscience purged from dead works to serve the living God Heb. 9. 14. I say to have their Conscience purged from dead works works that are not from the living Root that are not from Faith for she that lives in pleasure is dead whilst she lives 1 Tim. 5. 6. And sin is pleasure Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgement because he wilâ—ngly walked after the commandement Hos 5. 11 and he that sinneth is carried away from that which manifests it And you hath he quickened who were dead in Trespases and sins wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world according to the Prince of the power of the Air the Spirit that now worketh in the Children of Disobedience Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and were by nature the children of Wrath even as others but God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ by grace ye are saved and hath raised us up togather and made us sit togather in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus For by grace ye are saved through faith and that not of your selves it is the gift of God Not of works least any man should boast for we are his workman-ship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them Wherefore remember that ye being in time passed Gentiles in the flesh who are called uncircumcisiion by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh
manifest to Christ the light and all must believe in him who is the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the World and abide in him who is light or they shall never see life they can never be delivered and this is truth Now this is the state in the which man is in the fall in the transgression he sees not God nor hath seen him nor can see him in that state nor know him The state is without a proof a witnesse a feeling of God and being without a proof a witnesse a feeling of God in him How can he come to him whom he neither sees nor feels nor knows nor of him hath a proof or witness For Ignoti nulla Cupido as the Axiome is A man hath no desire to that which he knows not And a man knows not that which he doth not feel and a man feels not that which he doth not witness and a man cannot witness that which he hath not and a man hath not that which he doth not witness that is to say in his sence in his understanding though it may be in him And the reason is this because he being in a state which is void of that which gives the feeling the sence the witnesse the proof of God in him He in that state can have no proof of God nor witness nor sence nor feeling more then of wrath and eternal condemnation none of life nor of Salvation or that leads to it for Wrath and Eternal condemnation is the portion of that state and of all that are in it whilst they are in it And though the light be in man that which reproves that which makes manifest and God hath plac't it there a measure of himself in every man to bring him back again to God which calls on him to turn unto the Lord from whom he is gone that it may be well with him and man knows it and it often appears and shews and makes manifest and reproves and judges which is the love of God and his kindness unto man who seeks to gather him and therefore hath he placed this of himself in him to bring him to God yet the Spirit of Reprobation the Spirit which is without the living sence and feeling of God or proof or witness of him or the state of Reprobation or the Reprobated state or condition being that which hath man and holds him being that in which man is it keeps him from believing in that which reproves which makes manifest which shews which judges which witnesses to God and answers to him and so as this hath power over him he obeys it not Now being made perfect he became the Authour of Eternal Salvation to as many as obey him Heb. 5. 9. And man obeying it not he doth not receive it he doth not retain it Iniquity comes which he obeys and blots it out and so it is to him as if he had it not it is made of none effect to him he becomes not the Athoâ—r of Eternal Salvation to such Iniquity races it out as it were comes over it covers it and so man feels not the Power and Vertue of that which calls upon him so as to deliver him because he receives it not he doth not obey it and therefore it is that he is not delivered that to him he becomes not the Authour of Eternal Salvation who is it though it is Vertue and Power above the strength of darkness that shews it else it should never shew darkness and make manifest what darkness is Nor hath that man any other advantage by it then to know his Condemnation which is the state of the Devil the state of Reprobation the state of the Reprobates the Reprobated state who though they know God yea and though they also believe and tremble yet it is in a sence of Wrath and Judgement For he is over them and they know him to be Lord over all Principalities and Powers who is Head of the body the Church yet they obey him not nor receive him nor can they the state they are in and he is contradistinct and so their knowledge to him is but to Judgement What have I to do with thee Jesus and yet the Pharises would not confeâ—s him so to be thou Son of the most high God I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not cried the unclean spirit whose name was Legion when Jesus said unto him come out of the man thou unclean spirit Mark 5 8. And thou believest there is one God thou doest well the Devils also believe and tremble said James to the vain man concerning the Faith which was without works which he said was dead which obeyed not which received not his Vertue therefore it wrought not For as many as received him to them gave he power to be called the Sons of God even to them which believe in his Name which were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God Who was in the World and the World was made by him and the World knew him not who came unto his own but his own received him not Was not Abraham our Father said James justified by works when he had offered Isaac his Son upon the Altar Seest thou how Faith wrought with his works and by works was Faith made perfect And the Scripture was fulfiled which saith Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for Righteousness and he was called the Friend of God You see then saith he how that by works a man is justified and not by Faith only Likewise also was not Rahab the Harlot justified by works when she had received the Messengers and had sent them out another way For as the body without the spirit is dead so Faith without works is dead also This testified James and John also Jam. 2. 19. to the end John 1. 10 11 12 13. And the reason is this because as hath been hinted that spirit having man and possessing him man comes to be as that spirit is and that spirit being so man comes to be like it and man being like it or coming to be formed into the image of the Devil who was made after the Image of God he comes to be concluded with him and this is the state of the fall the state of Reprobation the state of him who is reprobated from God of the Reprobates they are such as are in him in the Devil he is their Root their Ground their Source and their Spring who is reprobated from God who feels him not who is without any thing of him in him that is the principle of him who doth not know him and therefore it is that they are called Reprobates And here I must end as to this Particular having spoken that which I have received of the Lord to communicate that all may see and understand this great mistery viz. how the Lord made not man to destroy him and that he hath concluded no man
