light and have not as I know none has out of the light found that God requiers and what stead will all that stand you in which he requireth not and so all men and women come to the light It is the words of Christ Jesus He that walketh in the light stumbleth Iohn i. 9 10 not and all from it have and do stumble and fall and therefore as you love your souls and prize your everlasting welfare give heed to the most sure word of Prophesy then that voice which come from heaven your teachers tell you that 's the Scripture but thus it is written You do well to take ●eed to the more sure word of Prophesy as 2 Pet. ● 19 to a light that shines in a dark place till the day dawn and the day star ar se in your bearts as to this you come the subtlety of the deceiver which hath beguiled man and led

glory O man and woman in the Image of God but by transgression art become as a brute beast that perishes and knowest nothing but what thou knowest naturally as from that wisdom which is sensual and devlilish for here sits the Devil in the sensual fulfilling the lusts slaying the soul and yet seeming religious here 's Cain's offering Esaus tears but not the blessing for that 's to the seed for ever and ever and in the Gel. 3. 16 light only must thou come to know the promised seed which is to break the Serpents Gen. 3. 1● head So to that of God in every man I speak who has not left himself without a witness in the worst of you that you harken diligently to that which hath at somtimes shewed your iniquities and called you out of it for it is better to harken then to offer the sacrifices

men whose moderation and temperance is seen unto Isa 56. 12 all who live in the excess eating and drinking and in pride and covetousness Rom. 2. 11 and wantonness respecting persons that are rich and oppressing the poor despising the needy and in the middest of all these your iniquities call your selves Christians and say you are justified by Christ Jesus and saved by his blood Will not the Lord be avenged for these things Will not the righteous God do righteously Doth he justifie the wicked or wil he save the ungodly Psal 7. 11 Exo. 34. 6 7 or acquit the guilty nay a due recompence wil be rendered unto all the workers of unrighteousness who are puting the evil day afar off and are crying where are the dayes of his coming things are as they were let ns eat and drink for to morrow we
