knew there was but one Christ however I thought I would assemble my self with a sober People at length I came among the Quakers but alas there I found nothing to my Satisfaction so that I was at a Loss again and so continued for many Years going no where but lived without Christ an Alien from the Commonwealth of Israel a Stranger to the Covenants of Promise without God in the World at last my Heart began to burn within me whether thought I shall I go I pray'd that the Lord if he had any Love to me would shew himself to me in Jesus Christ for I always did even when I lived in the Flesh as many nominal Christians do look for God in the Face of Jesus Christ and point me out a way at length I came to White-chappel where my Apprehensions concerning my State were dreadful I went one Night to bed and there thought I heard a Voice distinctly saying Arise arise if you look not about you and repent not you must certainly be damned This was a sad Sermon preached to me which from a slavish Fear and Dread drove me to worship God not from a Sence of his Love but as I said from a fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery Indiguation my very Heart trembled within me Lord thought I it is high time to repent what shall I do Meeting a young Man I told him my sad Condition who told me Unless I was born again of Water and of the Spirit I could not enter into the Kingdom of God which new Birth was wholly mysterious to me What shall I do then said I I fell to weeping I pray said I help me to a Minister a good Gospel-Minister I prayed many times that God would direct me to a right Church tho' with never so much Affliction the Head whereof is Christ I have often seen as I thought Jesus Christ perfectly at the right Hand of God who has promis'd to pour out his Spirit on all Flesh and certainly it cannot be far off I am sure if I were to dye shortly it will not be long after my time who brought me to this Minister to whom I declared my Mind who went Evangetically to work with me he went far beyond Baxter Baxter drove me back but this Gentleman told me there was free Grace for all that came to Jesus Christ This proved an happy Day to my Soul he told me the Lord accepts Jew and Gentile as in Gal. 3.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek there is neither Bond nor Free there is neither Male nor Female for ye are all one in Jesus Christ after some Discourse with Mr. Humfry who made some Discovery to me of God's Way of Salvation by free Grace of the Way of the Work of the Spirit of God on the Spirit of a Man in raising him up from the Death of Sin I read in a Book in which I found the Citation of that Scripture in John 17.26 Father I have declared unto them thy Name and will declare it that the Love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them And thought I now there is an open Door to come to God through Jesus Christ it came on my Soul with such Power that it appear'd to me as if a Door had been set open for any to enter in who will how abominably vile and filthy soever they be I thought I saw Jesus Christ yea the very Godhead shining round about me through the Manhood of Jesus for in him dwells the Fulness of the Godhead bodily 2 Col. 9. And now I am perswaded whether I direct my Prayer to God the first Person in the Trinity or to Jesus Christ the second it is the same they being the same in Essence equal in Power and Glory The Quakers indeed will suffer no Man to Pray but as the Spirit moves them pretending to be guided by a Light within which is no other than the Devil transforming himself into an Angel of Light and indeed it proved but a dark Guide to my Soul But as I was reading the Book above-named it pleased God to dart in a Beam of Divine Love in Jesus Christ on my Soul tho' for about an hour and a half my Bed shook under me I quivered and trembled and thought my very Heart was broken within me Lord thought I what shall I do to be saved But it was soon cleared up to me by the Spirit of the Lord that I should be saved by Jesus Christ and by him alone and I am sure there is Salvation in no other than in Jesus Christ no there is not And now I would give my Body to be burnt yea had I a thousand Lives I would lay them all down rather then be an unbelieving Jew For saith Christ unless you believe that I am he i. e. the Messiah you shall die in your Sins and whither I go you cannot come John 8.21 24. This is a miserable Sentence to all Unbelievers I often wondred when I heard Ministers pray for unbelieving Gentiles surely thought I the Gentiles all believe in Jesus Christ But alas Believing is quite another thing than I took it to be a thing of far greater Difficulty than most are aware of He that comes to God must believe that he is every way such as the Scripture declares him to be Heb. 11.6 he must believe that all his Attributes are highly exalted and infinitely advanced in our Salvation that the Law is much more highly magnified and made honourable Isa 42.21 by the Obedience of Jesus Christ God and Man than it could possibly be by the perfect Obedience of Sinless Adam he must believe that what Christ has done and suffered for us as our Surety in our room and stead is the only Righteousness whereby we are justified before God and accepted with him and that this very Righteousness becomes ours pleadable by us by Vertue of God's Divine Act of Imputation Jesus Christ is all and in all Col. 3.11 But alas by how few are these Gospel-mysteries really and truly believed Here you see one in whom the Covenant of Abraham is fulfilled as it is in all those who believe in Jesus Christ But if you do not believe you must die in your Sins I am afraid that my Forefathers tho' I must Judge as Charitably of them as I have warrant for yet I fear lest many of them are gone down to the Pit of Eternal Destruction and yet I am a Brand plucked out of the Fire Zec. 3.2 Now if God saved not his own Covenant-Children his own Spouse those who were naturally in the Root what will become of those who are grafted in and yet believe not that Jesus is the Christ 1 John 2 22. but I know and am perswaded That Jesus Christ loved me and gave himself for me Gal. 2.20 which is the main Point and that by his Death and Resurrection my Soul is saved Mr. H. Brethren you have heard what an account Mr. Shalome has given in
