I know all the Fowls of the mountains and all the wilde beasts of the Field are mine If I be hungry I will not tell thee for the World is mine mark and all that therein is Will I eat the flesh of Bulls or drink the blood of Goats Offer unto God Thanksgiving and pay thy Vows to the Most High and saith the Lord by the Prophet I desire mercy and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more then Burnt Offering Now you may see many had the Burnt Offerings and not the knowledge of God whereas the knowledge of God he required more then burnt-offerings and Mercy and not sacrifice Minde Mercy and not sacrifice And when Christ was come the Covenant of Light he bid your Fathers who were in the burnt-offerings and sacrifices but out of the knowledge and mercie Go and learn what the Prophets words meant he would have mercie and not sacrifice such as had the burnt-offering and not the mercie nor knowledge of God which God desired mercie before sacrifice and the knowledge of God before Burnt Offerings So your Fathers that had the Sacrifice and the Burnt Offering were without the Mercie and the Knowledge of God who knew not the Son the Covenant of Light that Moses and the Prophets spoke of and the blind offered the blinde that which was not accepted of the Lord who respects not your persons but suffered you to be trodden under foot of the Gentiles who have been scattered But now is the Lord warning to turn to him and to do works meet for Repentance that you might come to know the Prince of life the end of the Law the end of the Prophets the end of all outward sacrifices and come to know the Spiritual Sacrifice which is acceptable to God by Jesus Christ which goes from the Spiritual Houshold which is built on the Prophets Christ the Corner Stone who is now come to reign on the Th●one of David whose Seed witness him Davids Son which God would shew mercy to David and to his Seed for evermore which mercie his Seed witness and witness the Son who reigns on the Throne of David the Son of God who are the Seed of Abraham to whom the Promise was when he was in the uncircumcision and the Promise which was made to him when he was in the uncircumcision do we witness fulfilled Glory glory to the Lord God for evermore And we are of the Promise which is to all the Seed which was not made to him through the Law therefore it s of Faith that it might be by Grace that the Promise might be sure to all the Seed not to that onely which is of the Law but to that also which is of the Faith of Abraham who is the Father of us also and him who was made of Abraham is now witnessed that took upon him the Seed according to the flesh who is before Abraham was a greater then Solomon him who according to the flesh is the Seed of Abraham but according to the Spirit was declared to be the Son of God the King of Glory And him David saw and called him Lord who said God would not suffer his Holy One to see corruption nor leave his soul in hell and saith David of him Psal 68. Thou hast ascended up on high thou hast led captivity captive thou hast received gifts for men yea for the rebellious that the Lord God might dwell amongst men Mark He that ascended up on high led captivity captive and gives gifts unto men that the Lord God might dwel amongst them And he that ascended mark he that led captivity captive what is it but he that descended first into the lower parts of the earth and he is the same that ascended far above all Heavens that he might fill all things by whom all things was made to reconcile all things to himself And he gave some Prophets some Evangelists some Apostles and Teachers for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ till all come into the unity of the Faith and the knowledge of the Son of God the Covenant unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ And the Prophet Isaiah speaking of Christ said he He would proclaim liberty to the captives Gen. 61. mark to the captive and he did proclaim liberty to the captives and went ministring to the Spirits
