that is come and coming in the Ten Thousands of his Saints to judge the World and all the fallen ●ngels X. Such who are gathered by the Spirit of the Lord out of all Gatherings in the Fall that stand in the Will and Wisdom of Man and these follow Christ the Shepherd and Bishop of their Souls and abide in his Doctrine and Spiritual Worship and cannot hearken to a Stranger who is made a Minister or a Bishop in the Will of Man and not made by the Holy Ghost an Overseer of the Soul but are climbed up another Way and not come in through Christ the Door by the Gift of his Spirit but in the Wisdom of Man and of the Birth of the Flesh that persecutes the Sheep for the Fleece therefore the Sheep cannot hear them for he that gives the Soul Eternal Life the Soul ought to hear and be subject to and to all that come in his Name that is his Power who feeds the Sheep Lambs with the Bread of Life that is Meat indeed and Drink indeed where the Word of Life ministers through the Vessel the Sheep that are gathered by the Spirit do know the Voice of the Spirit which is the Voice of Christ that the Stranger knows not but the Sheep and their Souls are greatly refreshed by that Ministry of Life and so is the Body of Christ edified but where the Gift of Life is not received nothing but Death can preach and that burdens and hurts and defiles the Soul if it be touched or fed upon therefore in a Figure he that touched the Dead was to be unclean by the Jews Law so by the Law of the Spirit of Life dead Works that are Works of Darkness the Living are to have no Fellowship with but rather reprove them So this is the Infallible Truth that the Children of Truth and Sheep of Christ will hear and obey none but the Voice of the Spirit of Christ the Truth the Light and the Life which every Member of his Body hath a Measure of in himself which is the Anointing that leads guides and teacheth all his to profit in the Movings and Requirings of which all may prophesie one by one that all may be edified and the whole Body built up together in Love a Habitation for the Lord to dwell in to walk in work in and speak in and these have received Eternal Life dwelling in it shall never perish XI Such who have put off the Old Man with his vain Conversation and have in their Measure Crucified the Flesh with its Affections and Lusts who walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit which is become their Leader as ever it was their Fathers Children in which they find Power to do the Will of God in Earth as in Heaven Being created again after the New Man in Righteousness and True Holiness and being become New Creatures are in Covenant with God Old Things are past and passing away and becoming and become New a clean Heart and a right Spirit possesseth the Body which loves the Lord wholy and his Neighbour and Brother as himself true Judgment and Justice sits in his Gate and Goodness Mercy and Love within his House his Law is come forth of Sion and the Word of his God from Jerusalem in the Doctrine of which he abides and Statutes and Ordinances keeps who swears not at all nor lyes for that is against the Truth and under Condemnation who is come to the End of Wars and Fightings and doth to all as he would be done unto that ends Swearing Lying Fighting and Lusting after Evil Things loves Enemies serves Friends respects not Persons but gives to all their Due To Caesar the Things that are his and to God the things that are his labours in Love for the Good of all and doth Good to all denyes to hold up the Types and Shadows under the changeable Priesthood which are fulfilled in the unchangeable that pointed at Christ and his good Things who ends the Old Things the Old Priesthood and the Law that upheld it and Christ the Everlasting Priest being come the Substance of them all cannot deny him before Men by holding up the Old Things that he hath abolished by his Coming which if now upheld were to deny Christ come in the Flesh the High-Priest of our Profession Heb. 3.1 Now if we profess him to be our High Priest and hold up another Priesthood by paying of Tythes and other Things abrogated and denyed by the Holy Brethren of the Heavenly Calling in the Apostles Dayes I say then though we do profess him in Words to be come yet we should deny him in Works and so do all that hold up the Ceremonies now the Substance is come who is a merciful and faithful High Priest in Things appertaining to God to make Reconciliation for the Sins of the People Heb. 2.17 And those that hold up or establish another Righteousness fall short of the Righteousness of Christ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest that is passed into the Heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our Profession Heb. 4.14 Which Profession stands in Christ the better Hope by the which we draw nigh to God whose Kingdom is not of this VVorld therefore saith the King Put up the Sword and know that Nature that could kill with the Sword Outward to be slain with the Sword Inward for saith Christ My Kingdom is not of this World if my Kingdom were of this World then would my Servants fight John 18.36 Then all you that fight consider whose Servants you are seeing Christ's Servants cannot so all these Things forbidden are not to be used by the Children of God's Kingdom and Inheritors of the New Covenant in which the New Man enjoyes all the Promises of God that are Yea and Amen to him forever XII As to the Ministry they are such that the Lord of the Harvest fitteth by his Spirit and sends into the Harvest being called and chosen to be faithful Labourers in God's Harvest and are content with his Wages and refuse Anti christ's having freely received do freely give according to their Master's Command who warch for the Souls Good and not for the Fleece having Food and Raiment are contented and are to be ready to do the Masters Will in all Things and go whither the Spirit requires them and to preach the Word of Truth he gives them not consulting with Flesh and Blood but with Christ revealed in them who teacheth them to profit the People and to divide the Word aright with Boldness not fearing Man nor the Power of Darkness but to shew the People their Sin that they that are yet in it may come to repent and amend their Lives by turning from Darkness to the Light and from the Power of Satan unto God by receiving the Troth in which is found Power to do it and then they do the Things they ought ought to do and leave undone the Things they ought not to do
