The First Epistle A CRYING VOICE of the holy Spirit of Love wherewith all People are out of meer Grace called and bidden by H. N. to the true Repentance for their Sins to the Entrance into the upright Christian Life and to the House of the Love of Jesu Christ Luke 15.7 There shall be more joy in Heaven over one Sinner that repenteth then over ninety and nine just persons that need no Repentance O how lovely are the Feet of the Messengers that publish the Peace preach the Good and witness or declare the Salvation Isa 52.7 Rom. 10.15 Behold I will send mine Angel or Messenger which shall prepare the way or path the Street before me Mal. 3.1 Matth. 11.10 Mark 1.2 Luke 7.27 To day if ye hear his voice then harden not your Hearts that ye bide not without the Rest of the People of God Psal 95.7 8. Heb. 3.15 and 4.7 Printed in the yeer 1648. The First Epistle The First Chapter THis is the Crying or Voice which cometh to passe and is heard now in this present day through the holy Spirit of the Love of Iesu Christ and wherewith all People are by H. N. called and bidden to the Repentance for their sins and to the house of the Love of Jesu Christ the a Isai 32. Heb. 3. Heb. 4. Rest of all the Saints or Children of God And not alone with this Calling but also with all the Scriptures heavenly testimonies and spirituall Voyces of the eternall Truth which are gone forth from the holy Spirit of Love and brought to light by H. N. like as the Holy Ghost hath spoken thereof and warned all people that they in that present day when they hear his voice should in no wise harden b Psal 95. Heb. 3. their hearts namely that they should not refuse c 2 Cor. 6. Heb. 12. nor resist the same proffered Grace but humbly endeavour them thereunto to the end they might enter into the godly Rest which till unto this same day of Love is reserved for the People of God for to rest them therein 2. The most highest hath also after such a long time that He had promised the d Psal 95. Heb. 3. Rest to the people of God yet once more appointed a day on the e Acts 17. which the universall Earth should be judged with Righteousnesse 3. Therefore as the holy Ghost saith f Psal 95. Heb. 3. To day if ye shall heare his voice that is when the time now is fulfilled that the day of Love which the most highest hath appointed to be a Rest for the People of God declareth it self then shall ye heare that yee g Isa 42.

Rom. 1. only born son of God and avery true l Ioh. 1. Iohn 14. light and eternall life for evermore like unto his Father 7. From hence hath the man turned him and seen and tasted the corruption but so hath not the Christ of God For Gods very like-being the true Christ of God m Eph. 4. Col. 3. is the upright righteousnesse and holinesse which is everlasting and n Sap. 1. immortall also undestroyable unchangeable and uncorruptible But the unrighteousnesse is the obtaining of death and of the corruption which corruption or deadly mortality o Gen. 3. Rom. 5. 1 Cor. 15. the man hath taken on and there-through hath born the contrary being to God p Sap. 2. Iohn 8. that Antichrist the like-being of the devill and so is driven from the beholding of God q Gen. 3 without the riches of the godly goods and hath lost the mercy-seat of his salvation 8. Which salvation of the mercy-seat is r Gen. 12. Gen. 22. Act 3. Gal. 3. covenanted and promised again by the God of life unto Abraham and his seed And through that same the blessing of all generations of the earth after which salvation many Å¿ Mat. 13. Luke 10. 1 Pet. 1. Kings and Prophets have sought and inquired which they saw into afar off as coming but they could not attain unto it but have witnessed and prophecied thereof that the same should be inherited in all Love Peace and upright Righteousnesse in the last time The Fourth Chapter THis grace of salvation and this like being of God which became unknown through Adam did in times past appear in Israel out a Mat. 1. Luke 1. Luke 2. of the house of David of the tribe of Iuda like as God had promised b Psal 78. Esa 9. Ier. 23. Ier. 30. Dan. 9. through the Law and the mouth of all his Prophets and he is published c Act. 2. Acts 3. Acts 13. to the whole generation of Israel to be their King Saviour and Messias and that God had shewed the mercy d Luke 1. on them for to help up Israel his servant And so at the same time God was mercifull unto his chosen people and hath not forgotten his Covenant even as he had promised unto Abraham and his seed 2. Even thus verily was this like-being of God the true Christ and only born son of God from Eternity born of the e Luke 2. Rom. 1. seed of David according to the flesh to be a Saviour to the generation of Israel for to set up Israel in his righteousnesse But certain of the wise and scripture-learned ones after the Law f Mat. 12. Mat. 15. Mat. 21. 27 c. Acts 2. Acts 3. have neither believed nor received the same Iesus Christ according to the flesh but have withstood him and refused both him and his requiring g Mat. 23. not allowed of him but have delivered him over unto the Heathen h Mat. 27. to the death of the Crosse 3. Yea so far is the unregenerated man differing from the minde of God although he bewise prudent or understanding in the knowledge and Scripture-learnednesse that he for his own wisdomes cause doth understand i Mat. 11. 1 Cor. 2. nothing at all of the mind of God nor of the setting up of Israel neither yet can he attaine thereunto with his own wisdome like as it hath also come to passe with the wise Scripture-learned ones of the Law And this Christ of God k Luke 24. Acts 3. Acts 17. hath been forced to suffer yea from the l Apoc. 13. beginning of the world forth for the wisdome of the flesh and the sinnes cause And it went with him m Mat. 26 Luke 22. as was written thereof and he was killed on the earth with the contemnable n Sap. 2. Mat. 27. death of the Crosse and buryed in the heart of the earth 4. Seeing now that it was impossible that the death could hold him or that he should see the o Psal 16. Acts 2. Acts 13. corruption to a consumation therefore is he risen again p Mar. 16. Luke 24. Acts 2. Acts 10. 1 Cor. 15. from the death for a perpetuall conquering of the sinne and death through his death of the Crosse and hath made himselfe manifest unto his friends that loved him and were his Disciples and renewing them in the word of his doctrine he q Luke 24 shewed them through his suffering and death of the Crosse the victory r 1 Cor. 15 against the sinne death Devill and Hell 5. Now when as these his disciples were renewed and established in the word of his doctrine and armed s 1 Pet 4. with the same mind of the suffering of Jesus Christ t Mar. 16. Luke 24. Acts 1. then was he taken up from them to the right hand of God his Father in the heavenly being From thence hath he comforted his disciples and comprised his shape in them out of the heavenly being u Acts 1. Acts 2. powring forth v his holy Spirit into them as a new and true x Apo. 21. Jerusalem which is not prepared by men but by God like a garnished Bride for her Husband And even thus became God the Father through his only-borne Sonne Christ of one substance againe y Acts 2. with the manly creatures And to that end also because that all manly creatures should through Christ be z Iohn 17. one substance with God the Father is Christ preached And in such a state doth God require to have his people or the Congregation of Jesu Christ 6. Behold these disciples of Jesu Christ who through Christ were sealed with the holy a Acts 2. Rom 8. 2 Cor. 5. Spirit of Christ from the right hand of God b Mat. 13. taught to the Kingdome of the God of heavens and established in God the Father and in the Lord Jesu Christ were the right christians not out of the letter or flesh c Mat. 26. Luke 22. Iohn 6. 1 Cor. 11. wherewith they had been served till unto the coming of the same clearnesse of Christ but out of the power of God d Luk. 24. Acts 1. Acts 2. 1 Cor. 2. in the Spirit and did beare even thus e 2 Cor. 4. a costly treasure in earthen vessels namely the very like-being of God the Almighty 7. Which being of God f 2 Cor. 4. Phil. 2. Col. 1. Heb. 1. is the true Christ himself according to the spirit with whom they had their fellowship And through him seeing he was one with God their g 1 Ioh. 1. fellowship was also with God the Father Whereby they used that word God our Father and the Lord
his Son Jesu Christ The which also many no doubt doe speak or witnesse in that manner out of the letter and out of the imagination of the good-thinking knowledge but they are wide of it according to the truth But these who h Acts 2. 1 Cor. 2. 1 Iohn 1. witnessed that word out of the spirit and truth have witnessed the grace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesu Christ in the truth of God And yet notwithstanding have confessed no more but one God but have witnessed the wonderfull acts of God shewed on them through Jesus Christ And i Ioel 2. Acts 2. it shall come to passe saith God in the last dayes 8. This grace of salvation that k Luke 1. Luke 2. Acts 2. Acts 3. Acts 4. c. appeared to the Jewes which many of them in that time refused is published to the Heathen l Mat 3. Luke 2. Acts 13. to a Repentance for their sinnes to the end that they should m Iohn 1. believe on the like-beeing of God the Almighty that was appeared unto them and so become partakers likewise of the gifts of the holy Ghost through Jesus Christ out of the fatherly grace and that their fellowship might be one n 1 Ioh. 1. with God the Father and his Sonne Jesu Christ in one manner of faith 9. And to that end was the service of Christ ministred o 2 Cor. 10 under the obedience of faith by the Apostles of Christ to the unbelieving Heathen namely in the word of the preaching of the Disciples and Apostles of Christ to the intent that the same life of righteousnesse that was refused p Acts 3. by the Jewes should be set up among the Heathen through faith and so they sought to confirme the Law among the Heathen through faith and to bring forth the righteousnesse thereby q Rom. 3. Gal. 2. Gal. 3. Phil. 3. that is required by the law The Fifth Chapter BEhold even thus for a a Luke 2. Light and Salvation of the Heathen is this same only out of grace undeserved published unto the Heathen for a Gospel to a mortifying of their vaine understanding b Rom. 1 Rom. 6. Rom 8 1 Cor. 5. 1 Cor. 6. Gal. 5. Gal. 6. and of the corrupt ungodly beeing and to an incorporating to the new man whom the Apostles of Christ did publish namely Christ the like-beeing of God c Luke 1. Ephes 4. in upright righteousnesse and holinesse In whom and in none other standeth the forgivenesse of sinnes 2. These publishers of the holy Word or Gospel of the Kingdome of God seeing now that Jesus Christ had a shape in them as a very true light and life of God and that Gods shape was in Christ where-thorough they likewise were in Christ and God in them have published that word Grace and Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesu Christ in the truth 3. But although the Apostles did publish this after this manner yet have they notwithstanding spoken no otherwise then of one God who had shewed his procreation or generation in them as a e Iohn 1. glory of the only-borne Sonne of the Father full of grace and truth namely that God the Father had begotten and declared in them his like f Iohn 1. 1 Iohn 1. life of God out of his life and his like light out of his light 4. Seeing then that they did beare this like-beeing of the God-head in them therefore have they through the same knowne the living God who was their salvation namely through the life of God Jesu Christ being appeared unto them g Ephes 3 in the spirit Where-through they also published the life that is everlasting and so witnessed likewise that those which had h 1 Ioh. 5. not the Son of God could not also have the Father and that they were without i Ephes 2. God in this world For the like-life of God k Iohn 1. 1 Iohn 1. 1 Iohn 5. is the only born Son of God himself And whosoever refused him might not obtain the grace before God For it is so concluded by God for ever that in the Son is the life of salvation l Iohn 10. Iohn 14. and that it shall also be obtained in him 5. This is verily the grace of God the Father which was published in times past unto the children of men under the obedience of Faith and which is also published now in the last time under the obedience of the Love that the life of the living Godhead is appeared upon earth and that through the same the Unity in the Peace with God the Father is to be obtained whereby to m Iohn 8 Iohn 14. Iohn 17. know him in his glory and his uniformeness with the manhood through the Lord Iesus Christ Read Iohn 17. 6. Behold this is the difference with a brief Instruction betwixt God the Father and the Lord Iesus Christ Take it to heart 7. My service to content thee my Beloved vouchfase to take in good part with a regard to the God of the living And this my writing to the answering of thy request have I rehearsed in this manner seeing otherwise no means for to open the understanding of the Godhead of Christ and to content thee or to satisfie thy demand 8. Behold I have here witnessed the mind unto thee in full manner so that in this Instruction so far forth as the Lord n Ephes 1. dothilluminate thine understanding there shall be sufficient to answer thy request And thy intent of heart in the Spirit shall likewise through the beleif of the truth if thou hast a right regard hereunto o Prov. 4. and takest this same to heart be well-minded to our most holy Service of Love The Almighty God lead thee into his Righteousness Amen The End of the Third Epistle The Fourth Epistle A cleer Instruction of the Mediation of Iesu Christ that cometh to passe in the spirit for a Reconciliation betwixt God and the Man Jesus speaketh to his Disciples I am the Way the Truth and the Life no man cometh to the Father but through me John 14.6 If any man enter in through me he shall be faved John 10.9 I am the light of the world who so followeth after me walketh not in darkness but he shall have the light of life Joh. 8.12 If any man will follow after me let him forsake himself and take up his Crosse on him and follow after me Matth. 16.24 Luke 9.23 He that taketh not up his Crosse on him and followeth after me he is not worthy of me or he may not be my Disciple Mat. 10.38 Luke 9.23 There was demanded by a lover of the Truth and an Instruction in writing desired thereupon how the Mediation of Jesu Christ according to the Spirit or spiritually cometh to passe in us to our a Rom. 5. Reconciliation with God the Father and how Christ is an b Heb. 1.
his Prophets from the beginning of the world 5. This same was in times past published in the world p Mar. 16. Luke 24. Acts 1. Acts 2. for a Gospel or joyful message to the end that all those which were burthened w th sin captived w th darknesses should be baptized or washed q Rom. 6. Col. 2. in his death of the Cross according to the inward man and planted into him r 2 Cor. 4. Phil. 3. w th his like death for that all those which beved in him should be born again out of the same death so become partakers of the Å¿ Rom. 6 2 Cor. 4. Phil. 3. resurrection of Christ the very like-beeing of God the righteous one and that they might even so then in the spirit have their fellowship with Christ t Ephes 2. in the heavenly beeing in the Kindom of God his Father and so rejoyce them in this coming in the everlasting Life 6. Behold that is the upright u Luke 1. Ephes 4. Righteousnes and holyness which cometh to the Man in the Spirit through Christ to an everlasting Reconciling of the Man with God or to an x Iohn 17. Ephes 2. Unity betwixt God and the man to th' end that God may in that sort be y 1 Cor. 15 all in all according to the Promises The Fifth Chapter BUt seeing now that thy question is how or in what manner the same shall come to passe in us so can I not omit to give thee a full instruction thereof 2. Therefore behold and consider in thine understanding my beloved how that now in the last time the same living God out of Grace undeserved is a 2 Cor. 4. 2 Tim 1. appeared unto us out of his holy heaven and dwelleth b 2 Cor. 6. Apoc. 21. liveth and walketh among us the family of his Love and how that he and his upright righteousness is by his gracious word administred in the familie of Love and how that likewise in the same administration c 2 Cor. 10. 1 Pet 1. the belief and the obedience to the requiring of the same God is required of all men d Ephes 4. to an unity of heart with us in all Love 3. So consider then wheresoever the same living God of heaven and his goodnesse as an upright being and very true Light and as the right Father of his like-beeing and e Iames 1. light for ever and his will and requiring as a fatherly Love to the mans preservation in the godlinesse is administred in the ministration of his gracious word under the obedience of the Love of whose beeing and upright forme we have witnessed before and that then likewise in the same administration belief and obedience is shewed by the man in the same will and requiring of God even there in the belief is the same living God seen and known like as he according to the Spirit is an upright being f Iohn 1. Iohn 8. 1 Iohn 1. and very true light for a life of men and the right Father of his like-beeing and light there is also seen and known that the same Gods procreation or seed is likewise his upright beeing and very true light and is even so in the believing and obeying of the same administration proceeding from the same Father and that the same is wholly and altogether of one mind and g Iohn 17. Col 8. of one substance with the Father and is the true Christ himselfe and geteth in that sort his forme in the man 4. To whomsoever now the same Christ doth come thus in the spirit essentially h 1 Iohn 1. to those is he also seen and known rightly in the spirit and he is likewise of i Iohn 17. one substance with them in all Love and upright righteousnesse 5. This selfe same Christ the true Son and like-beeing k Col. 1. Heb. 1. of God his Father although he from eternity be the l 1 Cor. 15. Col. 1. first born of all creatures and the only m Mat. 16 Luke 9. Iohn 6. born Son of God is also according to his birth of the seed of David after the flesh named the Son of n Mat. 8. Mat. 12. Luke 6. Luke 9. 21. Man because that he as the true seed of the promises of God the Father is sown or planted in our manhood through the ministration of the gracious word of the Lord and through the belief and obedience to the same word also manned with our manhood and so after our passing over his like death of the Crosse unto the o Iohn 3. Rom. 12. Ephes 4. second birth from the death borne again out of our manhood 6. And that is the very true Seed of God from heaven which is sown in our p Mat. 13. Mar 4. Luke 8. manhood through the Administration of the holy and gracious word under the obedience of the Love and at the appointed time born again by us and out of us as a q Ioh. 15. fruit of the overflowing good life and of the upright righteousness and holiness and where-through we are then likewise according to the word of our Lord Iesu Christ the r Mat. 12. Luke 8. Mother brothers and sisters of Christ which do the will of his heavenly Father 7. This same Man of God from heaven according to the Spirit and the Sonne of man f Mat. 1. Rom. 1. of the seed of David according to the flesh is in all points minded t Mat. 26. Iohn 4. Iohn 6. 8. according to the will of God his Father and his will is that all what is good should be and he beareth in us the u Phil. 2. Heb. 2. Heb. 5. image of the earthly man and suffereth with us for our sinnes 8. But now when the believer of his gracious word hath x 2 Pet. 1. regard obediently unto his gracious word according to the requiring of his Service of Love and that even so in his beliefe and obedience the same word beginneth to appeare or break through as a very true y John 1.2 Cor. 4. light of the upright life and like-beeing of the perfect clearenesse of God and as a z 2 Cor. 5. Gal. 6. new creature from heaven then hath God the Father his pleasure a Esa 42. Mat. 12. Mat. 17. 2 Pet 1. only in the same light and life of his like-cleernesse and upright righteousnesse For that is his beloved Sonne his spirituall heavenly beeing whom he hath given unto us for an everlasting b Heb. 1. heir to the end that we should live through him 9. Seeing now that the Lord the God of heaven is spirituall and minded to the upright righteousnesse and that the man of the earth is fleshly c Gen 6. Rom. 7. and minded to the sinne and unbelieving and disobedient to the requiring of God in the ministration of his gracious word and Service of Love therefore
hath God according to such a mind of the man no d Rom. 8. pleasure in the earthly man nor yet the earthly man in God nor in his requiring 10. But seeing now that the only-borne e Mat. 16. Luke 9. Iohn 6. Sonne of God the Father according to the spirit namely Christ the like f Sap. 7. Col. 1. Heb 1. beeing of God is also the only-borne Sonne out of the g Mat. 1. Rom. 1. manhood of the seed of David according to the flesh and beareth in us the Image of the earthly manhood as well as the Image of the heavenly God-head therefore it is not his will that the man whom he hath created h Sap. 1. Sap. 2. Eccles 17. to be an Image of his like-beeing should perish in the disobedience of the earthly man i Ezek 18. Ez k 33. 2 Pet 3. nor in the sins of the earthly being but should live for ever and ever with him and with his spirit in the upright righteousnesse of his heavenly beeing and that all men likewise which love God and his righteousnesse should be assembled into the same beeing and be saved both in soule and body 11. Behold the same forementioned Christ and Sonne of God who for our sinnes cause hath suffered in us the death k Rom. 6. Phil. 2. of the Crosse and armeth us l 1 Pet. 4. with the same minde of his suffering and death maketh known unto us as is before said through his Service of Love his upright beeing of righteousnesse And in our good will to the same he bringeth his belief unto us and so in belief he himselfe m Esa 53.1 Pet 2. beareth our sinnes and justifieth n Rom 3. Gal. 2. us from the same through the belief And so taking our sinnes upon him in patience he o 1 Iohn 1. Iohn 4. reconcileth us before his Father and maketh his p Iohn 14. Apoc. 21. dwelling in us 12. Even thus verily with patience doth Christ come before the man for his q Rom. 8. 2 Cor. 12. Heb. 5. ignorance and weaknesse cause in the ministration of the gracious word of God his Father and in the same patience he through his Service of Love r draweth the man away from all that is ungodly and unreasonable and whereunto he is bound or wherewith he is bewitched according to his earthly and manly mind 13. Behold in this sort doth Christ in the obeying of the requiring of the service of his Love r Oze 13. Rom. 8. 1 Cor. 15. 2 Tim. 1. Heb. 2. 1 Iohn 3. break all the bands of the Devill and of the selfe-mindednesse of the flesh and bringeth the believing and obedient man to his spirituall and heavenly mind of the upright righteousnesse according to the mind of God his Father and even so as the f 1 Tim 2. Heb. 9. true mediatour to our reconcilement with God the Father he putteth away the t Esa 59. Ephes 2. middle-wall betwixt God and us and procureth the man that he uniteth him with a good will with a Godhead and God u Iohn 17. to an uniting with the manhood 14. Behold and have a good regard hereunto my beloved for even thus as is rehearsed is x Rom. 55. the peace and reconciliation with God the Father prepared for us through Christ and so he maketh of two y Ephes 22. that they be one namely the Godhead and the manhood 15. But in the meane time that we doe suffer with a Rom. 22. 2 Cor. 44. Phil. 3. 2 Tim. 22. Christ for the sinnes cause and doe daily take our b Mat 16. Luke 14. Crosse upon us with him so doe there yet daily no doubt many temptations meet with us through the unbeliefe of the earthly man and we doe stumble or fall and doe sinne also yet sometimes by reason of our ignorance and weaknesse Which sinne we doe not then commit in the Father but c Mat. 12. in the Sonne But if we be good of will and continue stedfast therein then is the sin d Act. 10. forgiven us through his name 16. For inasmuch as he himselfe beareth in us our sinnes therefore hath he e Heb. 55 compassion with our weaknesse and suffereth likewise with us in the belief till that all the contrary-being that is against the upright beeing of God the Father be overcome through the belief in the like-suffering with Christ f Rom. 6. Phil. 2. of the death of the Crosse and that Christ with his Father have gotten g 1 Cor. 15. the dominion against the sinne Which Crosse or suffering of Christ is the altar of the offering of Christ h Heb. 9. Heb. 13. in the holy whereon our sinnes be offered up through the offering of Christ as a sinne-offering death offering and debt-offering Through which offering of Christ wherein we doe obediently follow after i 1 Pet. 2. him till unto the second birth from the death we be k 2 Cor. 5. Ephes 1. Ephes 2. Heb. 9. sprinckled with his bloud of the true testament to the forgivenesse of sinnes and to an everlasting reconcilement with God the Father through faith and that same is the fulfilling of the true God-service in the holy 17. Through which fulfilling of the foregoing Service in the holy the godly understanding l 1 Cor. 13 Eph. 4 of the true age of the manly-beeing of Iesu Christ is inherited by us m 2 Cor. 3. the veil before the most holy put away from us and the n Esa 16.
