And thatsame euerlasting Life / together with the spirituall and heauenlie Goods / and euerlasting Ioye / becometh reuealed and brought vnto Them that are borne out of God / in the heauenlie Beeing and therthrough / they haue their fellowship with God / the Father / with his Sonne / the Lorde Iesus Christ and with the Holie-gost of Loue / wherout they witnes and declare / the great h Act. 2. Actes of God / and the Saluation of all Men. 5. Those now that knowe thissame / and receaue it in the heauenlie Beeing / their Testimonies are true For they witnes That / which they haue seene in the Godhead / and i 1.

Temple of the liuing God / wherin God with his Christ and holie Spirit / dwelleth and wherthrough they expresse their good Nature and Beeing / among all Men / euen as ther is saide And in such-sort / the liuing God is their God / and They his l Apo. 21. a. elected People in whose Temple / ther is no Idoll / but alone the liuing God of Israel nether is-ther also any Idolatry-seruice ministred theare but alone the Ministration of Iesu Christ / with the spirituall heauenlie Goods of his holie Spirit of Loue. The Thirde Chapiter A distinct Declaration / how that Hee which beleeueth in Christ / hath the euerlasting life THer is noman that beleeueth rightlie in Christ but Such with whom Christ is remayning or present / or which assemble them to Him and his Doctrine / in his Name / and so becom his Disciples Therfore is all the Faith / that Men ⁏ without the Assembling vnto Iesus Christ and his Doctrine assume or take-on of Christ ⁏ whether it be then out of the Imagination of the Knowledge· out of the Good-thinking of the Heart· or out of the Text or Letter no Faith in Iesu Christ / that extendeth to the Inheritaunce of Christ / in the eternall Life Nether-yet is-ther also anyman / that preacheth or teacheth the Woord or the Doctrine of Christ but Such as haue first ben obedient Disciples of the Woord and of the Doctrine of Iesu Christ. and euenso ⁏ vnder the Obedience of the Loue of Christ are a Math. 13. g. taught to the Kingdom of Heauen and in whom Christ b Gal. 4. c. hath then likewise his Shape 2. For that cause / they all which haue not rightlie beleeued in Iesu Christ / haue missed the eternall Life / as also the liuing Waters / wherof the Scripture maketh-mention / touching the Beleeuers in Christ like-as ther standeth writen Whoso c Iohn 7. c. beleeueth in Mee saith CHRIST as the Scripture saith / from his Bodie shall flowe Riuers of liuing Water Which liuing Waters / serue to the Purging d Ezec. 36. c. of y ● Heart or inward Minde / the which the vnilluminated Scripture-learned and vnsent Preachers / haue neuer out of the Letter ⁏ albeit that they testified thesame / and administred it / according to their Goodthinking obtayned or could attaine vnto For inasmuch as they turned them not about to the e Math. 18. childish Simplicitie / so hath also the f 4. Esdr. 1. c. wicked Nature ؛that Contrary-minde to God remained euer with them 3. But the Woord of the vpright Doctrine of Iesu Christ / that seruiceablie is administred ⁏ speakablie or in Letters out of the Loue / and out of the Light of Life / is trulie the vpright and safe-making Water or Doctrine / to the Purging of the beleeuing and obedient Heartes of thesame Woord For Christ the Sauiour / is present in thesame Seruice 4. For-that-cause thesame seruiceable Woord ⁏ which is administred speakablie or in Letters / out of the Loue and out of y ● true Light and euerlasting Life is also g 2. Cor. 5. d. Christ after y ● Fleash and so Many as beleeue thesame Woord / and assemble them

euenso thesame like as Herode / p Math. 14. ● did vnto Iohn in their Prison / and com not to Christ nor to the Ministers of his Woord / for to be purged from their Sinnes 8. For that cause also speaketh Christ ⁏ which is the Woord of Life itself well and a-right / wher Hee sayth If any-man com vnto mee / and hate not his q Luk. 9. 14. Father / Mother / Wife / Children c. Hee cannot be my Disciple That is / that hee which forsaketh not it all / for the Woordes cause / and so followeth-after the Woord ⁏ in his Doctrine and Requiring obedientlie / cannot be taught by the Woord / nor through the Woord / to the Kingdom of the God of Heauen 9. And therfore cannot such-a-one which forsaketh not it all / for the Loues-cause of the Woord / and taketh-vpp and beareth his Crosse / as also followeth-after the Woorde ⁏ in hys Doctrine and Requiring obedientlie be any Disciple of the Woord / much-lesse then / an Elder or Minister of the Woord For hee vnderstandeth not any-whit of all that which the Woord is or requireth / in his Misterie / nether can hee also speake or witnes vprightlie of thesame 10. For-that-cause verely / they are not all Disciples of the Woord / which heare the Woord testified / or that reade thesame in the Letter / and so speake therof NOTA. But euen Those which respect-well the Grace of the Lorde / to Repentaunce / and adioyne themselues obedientlie / to the Publisher and Minister of the Woord / for to fulfill therin ⁏ according to his Counsell or Doctrine the Requiring of the Woord Like as wee haue an Example therof / of y ● holie Apostle Peter when-as hee witnessed the Woord of Life / How that Certen ⁏ through the Hearing of the Testimonies of the Woord / and of the Promises of Saluation adioyned themselues to Peter and how that Those which gladlie receaued his Testimonies Act. ● f. did according to his Counsell and Doctrine / for to let themselues euenso be holpen or seperated from the vnnurtered or vnrepentant People For so ther was a Difference made / in the Ministration of the Woord / betweene Them that heard the Woord / and were obedient Disciples of the Woord and Those which heard also thesame / and were no obedient Disciples of the Woord 11. Therfore ought eueryone to take good-heede / how hee heareth and receaueth the Woord / which is this-day ⁏ from God-his Grace witnessed and administred / through the holie Spirit of the Loue of God the Father and his Christ. For thatsame is the Woord s Iohn 6. g. ● Iohn 1. a. of Life / which was in times-past ⁏ euen ●il-vnto this Coming of his glorious Manifestation preached in the World and that is also presentlie in this Day ⁏ euen-as ther is promised and writen therof com vnto vs from y ● Right-hand of God the Father / out of Heauen / for to execute t Act. 10. c. 2. Tim. 4. ● 1. Pet. 4. b. Iudgment ouer the Liuing and Dead 12. BEholde / This is the v Rom. 10. a. 1. Pet. 1. c. Woord of Life / which is descended vnto vs / from Heauen / and becometh published vnto you Not verelie that thesame should ⁏ in his Ministration be heard but slightlie in the Eares / or taken-on to a Knowledg of the heauenlie Thinges and so be talked-of but that-men ⁏ through the Hearing therof should beleeue thesame· and as is before rehearsed becom faithfull and obedient Disciples of the Woord· doo vpright Frutes x Math. 3. Luk. 3. of Repentaunce / in the Doctrine of his Seruice of Loue· obtaine the y Iohn 14. 16. Act. 2. holie Spirit of Promise· and liue in all Trueth and Loue / To-thend that wee mought then euenso / in this Daye of the righteous Iudgment of Christ ouer Liuing and Dead / be kept from the terrible Plagues of the Vngodlie· and preserued in the Godlynes of the Woord / and so inherit the euerlasting Life 13. Those now therfore which do thus as is before rehearsed wholly geeue-ouer themselues to becom faithfull and obedient Disciples / vnto the gracious Woord and his Seruice of Loue and euenso vtterlie depart from their olde Possession and vnprofitable Dealing / and forsake thesame / as also perseuer firmlie till vnto the Ende / in the Doctrine of the Woord and of the Ministers of thesame / They are verelie the right z Iohn ● d.

Documentall Sentences / that wee should shewe-fourth the Loue towardes our Neighbour / in his Falling into Sinne· exhort hym ⁏ to his Preseruation in the Godlynes vnto the Amendement of his Life· warne hym of his Destruction· take vpon vs his Sinnes / as Our-owne· and healpe to beare his Burden and euenso ⁏ with the Loue to couer his Sinnes 2. Out of which Sayinges wee are occasioned to demaunde / whether wee ought also dutifullie / to shewe such Seruice of Exhortation / vnto Preseruation· and such Warning from the Destruction / towardes Those which obstinatelie turne them away from the good Doctrine Requiring of the Woorde / or which wax much-worse at the Exhortation to their Preseruation· and at the Admonition from their Destruction / and so liue without the Requiring of the Woord and Seruice of Loue / and will not do nor shewe-fourth any Repentaunce for their Sinnes And ther-vnto is answered by HN and saide 3. O Yee Beloued / which haue a Lust and good Will with vs / to be obedient-vnto or to fulfill the Requiring of the gracious Woorde and of his Seruice of Loue / haue alwayes an vpright Respect or Consideration vnto the Woord / and a right Diuersitie / betwixt Those that geeue-ouer themselues ⁏ to faithfull Obedience by the Elders in the Familie of Loue / vnto the Lorde and his Woorde Seruice of Loue. beare a Math. 3.
