To all ye who be called BAPTISTS who call your selves Saints and Church-Members I write these things unto you as by the Lord moved and instructed that you may try and prove your selves with the Touchstone of Truth whether you be so in deed and in truth as you profess your selves to be in words CHrist Jesus the Son of Righteousness Rom. 8.11 Iohn 17. ● is risen from the dead and is glorified with the Father with that eternal glory that he had with him before the world was made Eph. 2.5 6. and the Saints who were raised from the dead and quickened by his living Spirit of Power were made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus with the Father and had fellowship with the Father and the Son 1 John 1.3 Coll. 2.11 12 3.9 10 11. having put off the body of the sins of the flesh and the old man with his deeds and having put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the Image of him that created him where there is neither Greek nor Jew Circumcision nor uncircumcision Barbarian Scythian bond nor free but Christ is all and in all This was the priviledge of the Saints 1 John 3.8 Rom. 8.21 Rom. 6 13 18 22 23 Heb. 12.14 John 13 34 35 Eph. 2.10 Eph. 4.22 23 24 1 Cor. 15.34 even freedom from the bondage and servitude of sin no more to yeild their members servants unto sin and unrighteousness but unto purity and holiness without which no man can see the Lord and hereby they were known even by their fruits of righteousness being made Gods Workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works the Image of the Devil as pride covetousness self-seeking envy wrath and malice and such like being defaced and the Image of God as meekness and humility gentleness patience and long-suffering truth and righteousness love peace joy and true holiness and such like being renewed in them O friends awake and arise and seek not the living amongst the dead Eph. 1.20 21 Eph. 2.15 Coll. 2.14 Heb. ● 2 the Lord is risen and ascended far above all heavens and hath abolished in his flesh the enmity the Law of Commandments contained in Ordinances blotting out the hand-writing of Ordinances and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross He was and is the substance of all Elementary shadows and figures and the glorious appearance of his light and power doth make the Elements to pass and the shadows to flye away and there is the Saints union fellowship in the Light and walking therein 1 Iohn 1.7 Rom. 8.7 8. 2 Tim. 2.11 12. the blood or life of Jesus clenseth from all sin the power of the cross of Christ crucifies that carnal mind which is enmity against God which feeds upon the carnal things and Elementary shadows and so the death of Christ and crucifying with him comes to be witnessed by his followes Rom. 6.6 Rom 8.2 who walk in the Light and believes in the same and being dead with Christ from the Rudiments and Elements of the world cannot turn back and feed upon the shadow or figure nor be subject to fading and carnal Ordinances For as saith the Apostle who came through the warfare Gal. 2.19 20 Col. 2.20 21 22 Iohn 3.6 Rom. 8.8 1 Iohn 2.15 16 17 2 Cor. 4 18 and was dead unto sin and crucified with Christ If ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world why as though living in the world are ye subject to Ordinances Touch not taste not handle not c. I know by the Spirit of the Lord that it is the nature of man being alive unto sin to himself and to the world to feed upon the visible and fading things of the world and so the carnal feeds upon the carnal but all that is in the world that are seen with a visible eye cannot satisfie the hungering desires nor quench the thirstings of the weary Soul but as man by the power of the cross of Christ which the true Disciple must take up daily comes to dye unto himself Luke 9.23 24 25 26 Gal. 6.4 15 and unto sin and evil and to be crucified unto the world he can no longer feed upon the fading shadows nor perishing things of the world Iohn 6.50 51 to 59 but his food and bread is he who came down from above who is the Saints bread and their life and he that eats of this bread lives and hath life in himself and bread in his own house and shall not hunger and he that hath not this life and this bread to feed upon hath no true life nor bread that satisfies Isa 55.2 but is spending his money for that which is not bread and his labour for that which doth not satisfie So it is he that hath the Son 1 Iohn 5.12 which hath life but he that hath not the Son of God hath not life You that have the Name of Christians and of Saints and Church-members judge in your selves and try with true Light whether you be so in truth 1 Cor. 11.31 32 Iohn 3.21 Eph. 5.13 2 Cor. 13.5 2 Cor. 5.17 and have the nature and life of that which you profess the words of it is indeed a high state and condition to be a true Christian for to be a true Christian is to be in Christ and if any be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away old heart old love and old life of sin behold all things are become new new heart new love and new life which is the life of Christ Col. 3.3 4 Rom 8.10 Iohn 3.9 Gal. 3.23 Iohn 15.4 5 6 7 Matt. 7.13 14 who is the life of every true Christian this life is sins death For if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin and in this life is the Saints oneness and out of this life is no unity but all such are in a strife and contention about the words and practises of those who were in this new life and falls out about the meanings and so are divided into Sects and Opinions and many Religions as they are called as is manifest at this day in these Nations many thousands have got the Name and Profession of Truth and Christianity in words outwardly Psal 14.2 3 but a very few there be that are possessors of the life of Truth inwardly as the Fruits make manifest and the Towns and Streets declare The eternal Eye is open and the Lord is come to view your fields and to look for Fruits but his Garden is overgrown Weeds Briars and Thorns Heb. 6 7. 8 Iohn 5 41 44 fruitless Trees cumbers the ground Ye proud ones that are so highly exalted seeking honor one of another ye cumber the ground Isa 28.1 Iam 5.1 2 3 5 1 Cor. 6.10 Isa 5 8 Iames 1.26 and wo is your portion your profession will not cover you ye covetous
