but the oppression and were from the light such Christ came to make blinde against whom went the woe that drew iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as it were with a cart-rope that called good evill and evill good such as were from the life of the Law and such as these hearing hear not and seeing see not whose hearts are made fat Make them sat whose eyes are shut lest they should see whose ears are heavy lest they should hear Then said I Lord how long and he answered untill the Cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land be utterly desolate mark and take notice of this untill the cities be without inhabitant and the houses without men and the land be utterly desolate Now such as were here out of the life of the Law and the Prophets being in the transgression the life went against them that were from the life and blinded it and stopt that ear and that heart cannot understand that against the life is turned untill the city be wasted without inhabitant and God hide his counsel and secrets from this eye and from this ear so he comes to make them blinde that they cannot see which be in the transgression who doth not blinde the light the eye that the Prophet saw withall And again Isa 29.9 10 11 12. c. the Prophet said to them that were out of the life of the Law in the transgression Stay your selves and wonder for the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep and hath closed your eyes the Prophets and your Rulers and the Seers hath hee covered the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed which men deliver to one that is learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for it is sealed and the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for I am not learned Wherefore thus saith the Lord Forasmuch as this people draw neer me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me but have removed their heart far from me and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men therefore will I proceed c. These people were from the life of the Law whose hearts were farr removed from God to these the books was sealed and the Vision of all was become unto them as a sealed book and they could not read it neither the learned nor the unlearned for to both it was sealed to this people that could not see nor hear was the book sealed whose eye was blinded though they were learned or unlearned such as was from the life of the Law which was the light the life of the Law the light they had not and such the prophet saw who was in the light of the Holy Ghost and their fear towards the Lord was taught by the Precepts of men as it is now with them that are blind these their eyes were closed upon whom was poured a spirit of deep sleep who stagg●red like a drunken man but not with wine who sought deep to hide their counsel from the Lord and worked in the dark among whom the Lord will do a marvellous work and a wonder the wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of the prudent shal be hid These were-them that turned the things upside down who should be esteemed as the potters clay for shall the work say to him that made it He made me not Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it He had no understanding Yea he sees take notice that hath made and framed Mind this you who call upon God with your lips but your hearts afar off who be strangers from the life of his Law who turn things upside down who must be turned upside down before the life of the Law which is the light be known and their eyes opened Who are in the spirit of slumber and the spirit of deep sleep yet have wisdome and a prudent understanding These were them that the Prophet saw from the life of the Law and such God made blinde for the promise was when God gave forth the Law Blessing and them that were in the life saw the end of it a Curse was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law the woe was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law but the blessing the curse was to them that did not abide in the life of the Law and such came not to s●e the end of what they profest and these went from the life of the Law to mens precepts and they were such as called upon God with their lips but their hearts were afar off and such owning not the life of the Law they owned not Christ when he came who was the end of it but was blinde and so the fulfilling of Isaiah's words came to be which were spoken forth from the life which when Christ came who was the life they that had the words of the Law and being out of the life knew him not but were them that were blinded by hearing should not hear nor understand and seeing 〈◊〉 should see not perceive these which was gon from the life of the law the light which Christ was one with the life which they were gon forth from These could not perceive nor see though they saw and though they heard they could not understand which were in the transgression from the life of the Law and such Christ came to make blinde and these eyes must be blinded that they cannot see nor heary for that which must hear comes to the life of the Law and to the conversion and saith Christ to them that were gone from the life of the Law which hearing heard not neither understood These peoples hearts were waxed gross their ears were dull of hearing their eyes was closed lest at any time mark they were so shut up from the light the life of the Law lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted and I should heal them Now you may all come to see what peoples hearts they were that was waxed gross and ears dull of hearing and could not see with their eyes nor hear with their ears lest they should be converted and Christ should heal them such as were out of the life of the Law and out from that of God in them in the uncoverted estate against whom Christ cried wo For how can they hear with their ears or see with their eyes that are from the life of the Law and how otherwise can it be but that their hearts will wax fat and gross and be hardned with the deceit who go from the Light the life of the Law which is the eye which God blindes not who is light and teach mens commandments for doctrines such as hear not the life of the law
