Thou saist all forms how speakes wisdome how is all one when thou speakest of Selfe and powers of darknesse and many beloveds and that Midwife Sel●e How is it all was good in the beginning and many since the fall and beginning are all one again in Christ the Image of God that that destroyes the devil and his works and selfe propriety which thou must come out of the hole of the earth and thy nest for such Christ calls Foxes and fowles such as be in him reignes over thy head in him againe out of the one which is out of the truth which makes many wayes many Sects many opinions out of the divine nature which makes one who are one in it are in wisdomes steps power and dominion and sees and feels thee in the Earth and cannot eat sower things without setting their teeth an edge The devil must serve the Lord and he must worship and come behind the truth and not before it and the devil the serpent that is out of the truth is a murtherer and out of the wisdome of God which is gentle and from above but as fallen out of the truth he is devilish devouring destroying but all things as t●ey were in the beginning they were very good standing in the truth and power of God and so the devil must be destroyed and his wisdome Now doth God destroy his own wisdome So thou art not in the wisdom that puts a difference but we are in that which puts a difference and remaines and so that he did not create the Devils work which is out of the truth which he doth destroy for by wisdome all things were created and by wisdome they stand out of this is the Enmity and the works set up in his wisdome which by this wisdome must be destroyed by this wisdome that is above and so the beloved one is turned into his beloved one from the bed that is defiled to the bed that is not defiled so mark each bed where each beloved lyes each marryage the honourable and the dishonourable the defiled and the undefiled and this wisdom doth see and so here the Beloved that appeares black and terrible to you all is known whose face is marred in whom there is no beauty nor forme nor comlinesse to the earthly to the Nations to the formal and literate Earthly ones nor to the Fowls nor to the Foxes that have holes who be in the defiled bed set up since the fall For from the Virgins state in whose mouth is no gail and his face is beloved which is beautyful to the pure eye but ma●red by such as thou art who art yet in the lust of the flesh and the pride of life which is of the World who lives within the City knowes the 12 gates above thy three which are distinct from thee wisdom hath seen thy invented gates the gates thou hast invented who saith The second is that that tries the heart and the first that that tries the Spirit the third is that which none can enter that feeds of the tree of good and evil Thou fool must not the heart be tryed before the spirit be tryed and the tree of knowledge tryed when their hearts be tryed and doth not that one tryal that tryes spirits tries hearts tries food is not that one and is not that the gate Hast not thou confounded thy principles that makes many doth not good enter Nor no name distinct from other doth not Christs name who was called the word of God enter into the City which thou saist neither good nor righteousnesse enters in and is not the good and righteous both and distinct from others that makes one So wisdome over all the wise men of the Earth doth foresee that wisedom that is to be confounded and thou art seen whose city is the wicked City into which no righteousnesse must enter who puts no difference and the black sheeps cloathing and pride which ●hou must be deceived of which signifies two in thy owne as I read I ●udge which is comprehended by the sheep who hath the wisdome of him by whom the world was made before twain was when all things were good And is this black sheeps cloathing invented by the Serpents wisedome and artificiall colours of God as thou sayest now dost thou destroy thy own wisdome here for wisdome doth not destroy true wisdome but the Serpents wisdom which is out of the truth and its works and doth the Serpents wisdome which thou saist is the wisdome of God bring people to set up stately buildings Idoles Images Gold and doth the wisdome of God deceive the wisdome of God and destroy those things what a Kingdom divided how now Roger what hast thou set up two powers again and so confounded thy own principles what but 〈◊〉 power yet envyings What Roger but one power yet furious and shattering to pieces it selfe till it come to nought then there 's no power at all Roger and what is your evil to him that doth think it and envy in the envyous one and but one power how comes this opposite how comes this thinkst Is not this all the wisdome of God as thou seest that is the wisdome of the Serpent and so if wisdom be divided against its selfe it cannot stand But wisdome it selfe which is the truth sees all this for envy and strife is that which are out of truth and turnes against the truth Alack poor brat how dost thou build and throw down who art dashing thy se se to pieces against the stones If one look upon thy flesh it is loathsome and would make one sick read this in secret Roger in patience who art a corrupt bulk of Fog ●ho art like a quagmire that sucks up them that comes upon thee that art not in the wisdome which doth force ●o shun thy mire and clay who walks in the wisdome of God misses thy paths and way where the streames of life flowes and under the vine s●ts where the showers comes And so thy beastly garments are not to be touched but such there may be in the Earth in the dark in thy own powe● out of truth that sees not to shun the way and for an casefull life gathers together to make up a hill a mountain which in the end turns to a Quagmire which they that comes into their feet doth stick fast which is made up of beastical lust earth and of powerish ayre And her 's Sodom which saith I am not Egypt but dwell in a plain out of whom just Lot the Angel calls whom to Abraham is revealed of destroying the just that is out of it called who sees it on fire over it reignes So who are of Faith are of Abraham of the flesh of Christ far above thy wisdom power flesh If thou appeares wrath confusion and darkenesse to them that be in darkness to that 〈◊〉 and yet thou saiest there is but one power then there is but one eye and what is the confusion in
