day_n or_o as_o the_o moon_n that_o give_v light_a to_o the_o night_n and_o that_o the_o time_n will_v come_v that_o god_n himself_o will_v be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n without_o creature-helps_a or_o mean_n and_o these_o teach_n of_o god_n shall_v never_o cease_v then_o second_o as_o we_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o ordinance_n of_o preach_v so_o likewise_o of_o pray_v and_o fast_v and_o all_o ordinance_n whatsoever_o so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o rest_n upon_o they_o to_o lay_v our_o faith_n upon_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v cause_v that_o ordinance_n be_v nothing_o without_o the_o lord_n every_o one_o will_v confess_v that_o the_o letter_n be_v a_o dead_a letter_n without_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o ordinance_n be_v mere_a form_n without_o god_n appearance_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o our_o design_n be_v to_o couple_v the_o lord_n and_o ordinance_n together_o and_o we_o can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o part_n of_o they_o though_o many_o now_o adays_o do_v who_o cry_v so_o we_o have_v ordinance_n we_o be_v well_o now_o this_o be_v that_o we_o must_v deny_v or_o else_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o we_o promise_v to_o ourselves_o something_o from_o the_o bare_a outward_a form_n of_o a_o ordinance_n and_o so_o like_o the_o israelite_n we_o be_v hanker_a after_o the_o fleshpot_n of_o egypt_n though_o they_o have_v better_a meat_n in_o the_o wilderness_n yet_o their_o fleshpot_n run_v in_o their_o mind_n so_o though_o god_n offer_v himself_o and_o though_o the_o saint_n tell_v you_o they_o can_v find_v god_n in_o such_o and_o such_o form_n but_o find_v he_o abundant_o good_a in_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o find_v that_o he_o recompense_v the_o want_n of_o all_o form_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o press_v you_o to_o wait_v till_o god_n appear_v to_o you_o in_o the_o spirit_n o_o say_v you_o i_o can_v never_o believe_v that_o god_n shall_v do_v it_o without_o a_o ordinance_n or_o that_o god_n shall_v strengthen_v you_o without_o a_o ordinance_n god_n think_v you_o with_o a_o ordinance_n can_v strengthen_v i_o and_o deliver_v i_o and_o save_v i_o out_o of_o temptation_n not_o otherwise_o this_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o ordinance_n or_o fleshly_a form_n do_v add_v something_o to_o god_n if_o you_o confess_v god_n to_o be_v all_o in_o a_o ordinance_n you_o must_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v all_o without_o a_o ordinance_n to_o be_v sufficient_a of_o himself_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v mistake_v i_o judge_v not_o those_o that_o find_v god_n in_o ordinance_n and_o outward_a form_n let_v they_o wait_v upon_o god_n and_o let_v they_o receive_v and_o partake_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o ordinance_n and_o let_v they_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o be_v faithful_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n and_o let_v they_o be_v sweet_a to_o other_o but_o when_o we_o do_v find_v god_n in_o a_o form_n and_o in_o a_o ordinance_n to_o say_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o enjoy_v any_o other_o way_n this_o be_v not_o a_o right_a spirit_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v resign_v up_o and_o deny_v by_o we_o a_o main_a and_o principal_a reason_n of_o the_o point_n be_v that_o god_n alone_o may_v be_v exalt_v for_o as_o civil_a form_n be_v accompany_v with_o many_o corrupt_a yet_o cleave_v interest_n so_o spiritual_a administration_n be_v attend_v in_o their_o proselyte_n with_o flesh_n form_n &_o self_n which_o do_v many_o time_n deprave_v and_o corrupt_v the_o administration_n and_o render_v it_o ineffectual_a to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v appoint_v and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o god_n to_o purge_v the_o civil_a administration_n from_o its_o dregs_o and_o filth_n so_o the_o lord_n carry_v on_o the_o same_o design_n in_o pare_n away_o all_o humane_a interest_n from_o the_o spiritual_a that_o so_o he_o alone_o may_v be_v exalt_v beside_o as_o civil_a form_n be_v not_o the_o substance_n but_o the_o outside_n only_o and_o appearanee_n of_o that_o equity_n and_o reason_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o represent_v so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o spiritual_a as_o be_v only_o supplemental_a to_o our_o want_n absence_n weakness_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o come_v to_o live_v in_o the_o very_a life_n or_o substance_n its_o self_n so_o that_o spiritual_a administration_n be_v of_o a_o inferior_a and_o enterven_a notion_n can_v possible_o hold_v forth_o the_o most_o complete_a and_o glorious_a way_n of_o enjoyment_n which_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v say_v to_o be_v by_o sight_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n and_o such_o a_o sight_n as_o be_v not_o in_o form_n or_o glass_n but_o face_n to_o face_n the_o sight_n which_o moses_n have_v of_o god_n as_o it_o do_v transcend_v the_o ordinary_a discovery_n to_o common_a saint_n so_o it_o be_v far_o inferior_a to_o this_o vision_n for_o moses_n see_v but_o the_o backpart_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o as_o their_o sacrifice_n do_v t●●e_v out_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n which_o we_o enjoy_v so_o this_o vision_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o immediateness_n of_o it_o bear_v some_o proportion_n with_o that_o glorious_a discovery_n in_o the_o saint_n where_o god_n shall_v be_v see_v as_o he_o be_v but_o this_o discovery_n be_v darken_v and_o veil_v in_o the_o outward_a form_n even_o in_o the_o design_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o the_o weak_a understanding_n be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v the_o brightness_n of_o this_o presence_n as_o the_o israelite_n flee_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o father_n to_o cast_v a_o veil_n over_o his_o glory_n which_o vail_n be_v the_o form_n that_o so_o the_o discovery_n thereof_o may_v be_v bear_v by_o we_o our_o enjoy_v ment_n will_v be_v then_o most_o sublime_a when_o this_o vail_n be_v rend_v a_o sunder_o and_o way_n make_v to_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n or_o the_o naked_a glory_n by_o the_o power_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o form_n be_v proportion_v to_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o fleshly_a understanding_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o glory_n be_v limit_v and_o confine_v therein_o and_o give_v out_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o

spiritual_a administration_n be_v the_o darkness_n and_o weakness_n of_o the_o creature_n all_o which_o make_v up_o a_o bundle_n of_o necessity_n which_o be_v thus_o sum_v up_o man_n be_v cloud_v with_o a_o dark_a and_o misty_a understanding_n stand_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n whereof_o he_o apprehend_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v suitable_a to_o himself_o and_o his_o enjoiment_n be_v answerable_a to_o his_o light_n that_o be_v weak_a and_o glimmer_a but_o god_n stoop_v down_o to_o humane_a frailty_n and_o give_v out_o himself_o in_o weak_a appearance_n moysaicall_a form_n which_o be_v as_o medium_n between_o god_n and_o we_o but_o when_o this_o darkness_n and_o distance_n be_v remove_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n man_n become_v near_o and_o his_o enjoiment_n immediate_a which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a because_o near_a the_o fountain_n for_o the_o appearance_n of_o god_n like_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o far_o they_o pass_v the_o more_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a be_v they_o as_o to_o we_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n in_o spirit_n be_v the_o most_o immediate_a appearance_n be_v therefore_o strong_a god_n in_o flesh_n the_o next_o to_o that_o but_o of_o a_o inferior_a cognisance_n and_o operation_n and_o the_o deep_a god_n descend_v into_o flesh_n as_o into_o the_o

while_o we_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o appearance_n they_o may_v afford_v we_o a_o good_a but_o not_o the_o most_o excellent_a life_n for_o the_o high_a life_n be_v above_o all_o appearance_n
