the Scripture or the word of God which ye call or count to be the word of God Would you know the highest of what it is I tel you it is the writing Appestolical pointing to the life Evangelical of which things I am come forth to speak unto that you might not be no longer deceived by the Appestolical dead name but to be drawn to the view in light into the Evangelical living thing Now minde upon this comes your nondemnation that you know the Scriptures and hold them in so high esteem in the name as for to be the true word of God and though ye say this and dispute thus and persecute them that say not as you say I intreat you take notice you are the abominable belyers of your owne word of God as you call it for you say it is truth then why act you not in that truth againe you say you know it to be Gods word then know that if it were Gods own word and thou taught that knowledg by God who is the giver of knowledge thereby to know him to be the onely true God this knowledge turneth the receiver of it into obedience and then he sees God as he is for he seeth God with Gods owne eye that is true sight without mixture Now if God had taught thee then it had been effectual to the turning thee into obedience and know so taught so kept for where God teaches he keeps and obedience acts forth in distributives of mercie love pity and compassion for Gods teachings are alwaies effectings and from them effectings flow forth actings of mercy unto thy poor distressed brethren which is a declared seal unto the people that thou art taught by God himself and sealed with Gods seal for know so long as you are but sayers ye are Devils and lyers and when you come to be doers then ye begin to declare that God hath taught you the true Gospel as for ye and your Gospel and your word of God so long as it lies in the tongue so long it is a lye untill the tongue in that body be turned into hands and them hands be made doing distributively unto every one in necessity then I say Id east non literas sed spiritus et divitie The English is this It is not letters or names but the Spirits riches which is planted in the soul and hath silenced the lying tongue and hath caused an operation in the hands to be acted forth unto the members of the same body whereof Christ is the head if ye will be Christs disciples ye are to sell all and follow him as he hath commanded this is the word of God and you know the text then how are ye Christs servants withstanding the commands of your master but I take this for granted this is a hard saying and who can bear it I answer he that commanded it for if thou wert but out of thy devilish knowledge then thou wast in Christs strength and his strength is thy strength if he be thy teacher then no command is hard because the strength that commanded in that same strength it is obeyed But now I will show you how you are all cheated and deceived that are not in that strength it is thus ye are learners of Christ and ye are treasurers up of names and verses and texts and disputes and answers all this is learning of Christ Now I Theauraujohn say and declare this day that Christ cannot be learned nor taught for know that the height of learning is but getting the name But I beseech you brethren minde it is Gods free gift conferring the thing into the soul that is it that makes an oneness betwixt thee and himself thou hast learned the name but he is the true thing that will not nor cannot stoop to thy naming his name for the name is a meer lye without the thing which lye art thou until the thing named be come which thing is Gods free gift or Christ in the soul alas what makes all this disunion or division amongst us and variety of opinions as is amongst us at this day I will show you the reason it is because we gather unto us names and them names are variously named and so by this we our selves gather our selves into these opinionated names and gatherings together but mind we are not gathered by God himself but our selves gather our selves into selected companies and then judge others that are not as we are when indeed we are all this while but a name which is but a Ly for know if we were gathered by the Spirit of God then no division would be amongst us but an intire oneness in the union Spirit for whom and them that the Lord gathers they continue for they are centered in the alone center Now here is the difference betwixt our gathering our selves into Churches and Companies and we being gathered by Gods Spirit its gathering us thus God gathers all out of us that is all our names notions oppositions and prejudices after them weeds are gathered and bound up and cast forth then he maketh the great Allah alba that is the high white plain in us and of us and in that white plain he gathers together and plants in that plain made plaine by his own word this to be expressed in words Hevi-altiel The English is to say Behol◠the great plaine of the Lords making Now this is the Lords paper fitted for him to ensigne himself in Now this plaine being thus made now comes the ensignement which in words is thus denoted in Hebrew Oli el vau ו which is in import as the words do stand relatives unto Hevi altiel The English is this The whole light in man is againset in God this is the second Viva vita that is The spirit of man is made obedient to act Gods will and from this Ensignment flowes holiness

Now thus gathered thus they ever stand and that that keeps them it is Degitus dei in kor allah apparan hashsha The English from this Hebraick state it is this That that keeps them it is the finger of God wrote upon and in the cleane and high table in the heart of soul of man by the high strength of God in power overturning all false writings and then ingraving himself in his holy mount for saith the Lord I dwell in the humble and meek spirit Now ye proud ones consider who is it that dwells in you for God dwels in the humble plaine soul in the dejected spirit O beloved the mourning spirit is an Angels feast O a poor pure heart is the Evangelical Throne Therefore ye poor ye weak ye nothings in your selves why are ye cast down it is because the Spirit of God doth rest upon yee and in that glory that now you see your selves nothing then are yee the happiest happy for your Iow nothingness in your selves it is Christs riches in you that hath made you so and ye are clothed with all and that all

O the greatness of things cannot demonstrate the heavenly light but that light doth demonstrate it self as it self pleases that is the english of the fore-cited state or citation in the tongues Now Beloved I have shown you one glimps of Gods goodness and Gods greatness in his distributive destributive in distillation into and upon the creation in appearances by his illustrious influences in strength conveyed from himself through the celestial Attire that is the high moving motions in the sphere celestial and so is conveyed by the Sun through the Moon into every receptacle appearance in the terrestrial world or forme or chaos I prove it so for what is not union is a chaos I speak it as relative to man but it is union unto God his varieties in themselves is his delightful union in himself Now beloved I come to shew you how man is essencied in God and then how he is like God in the earthly figure and if he be renewed to his figure that is the life of Christ risen up in man in predominacie where man is wholly subjected to the will of God that is man to be wholly passive and the spirit of God to be the sole and whole rule in the spirit of man then the figure is as true in the derivative essence as it is in the raigning all Now beloved I come to shew you man that is man drawn up by the Spirit of God into union with God as saith one Text Whereby we have an union with the Father through one spirit that Text varieth little from the Original in its import for it is thus whereby our union is made one through Christ. O how I could joy if there were no more dismeeter in the whole conclave of the old and new Testament then had I not had this trouble that my manhood lies under the zeal I have against the aspersion that by weak and vain man is laid upon God onely by the ignorance in man and his false conception that man hath upon the sacred Majesty of God that is in not ful understanding the denotation that God hath letten down to put motional man to a stand or stof But now I come to denote how man is said to be like God that is the earthly patern of the Divine thing in sanctum sanctorum now man being made obedience he acts in love from that Root obedience which word in the Hebraick terme is Rokas in the Greek tongue it is Kias in the Latine word it is Cristus but you would have it Cartas but the word is neither Cristus nor Caritas but the true nominative case is Cristos in the true Latine the import is binding that is the full import of the word Rokas which is the essence from whence all these are derived from for the Hebrew is Pimus maxzi that is the first great strength that is the significant of Rokas Now know that obedience is the all required of man and obedience is the all gift from man to God that is the Rokas or binding strength of man to God by Gods own gift that is thus much in import In one Text I saith God will give them an obedient heart and they shall fear me Now this obedience is Gods free gift into man that is to say in truth of words it is Christ in the soul now in man is this obedience set which is Christ or the Spirit or the holy Ghost or the new Birth or the Angel of God in man Now know that at the descent of the Spirit into the Soule of man it causes in the Soul an erection of the heavenly figure then doth the Pattern temporal act in true truth in the Pattern as it is in the Seater Though it be but a derivative yet it is in sanctification holding coherent with the Essence it was derived from Now I may truely speak if truely understood it is thus much God in man and man in God that is by the derivative Essence essencied in Flesh and yet not flesh but the subjecter of flesh to it self and so both unto God so the marriage is compleated in the union of one Spirit being thus God in himself and in man by his Spirit this is the true pattern of the divine and sacred Trinity operative in the earthly form which is the figurative pattern of the trine celestial yet all in one which in property of is speech Jehovah or Al for Al if duly considered in this new dispensation but it is but the old truth reduced to his Originalest center in the true declarative which by reason of mans false conception of God and his declarative so that the truth in the litteral expression is buried and one of Gods declaratives mixed with mans invention by mans conceiving it to be so and he not knowing the true import of the various maxzims in their combinements in themselves and with others in their addititional coherencies and adjuncts Now in this Sate if truely understood the learned Rabbies may perceive that by my pointing at these Maxzims being I am unlearned in what I declare it might be a satisfactory satisfaction for them either to affirm against me or else to acknowledge it to be true what I say least I do conclude that their silence doth give consent through their ignorance in the citation I declare Now I have drawn up man and stated him in his called center or earthly form to what can be required or can be attained to in which man may in property of speech be said to be like God by the Spirit of God predominating in man to mans subjectancie in the whole to the Spirit thus that man beareth this Motto from God his owne writing be thou like me in my humane creation this is the new creation that God makes or the called new birth in every one that is brought forth unto God Now I come to the declaratives that this new birth if truely born and brought forth unto God OF you think would have been the true word as to have said to be born of God that very OF makes all the state false for in a true state there must not be a false letter so in a true sentence there must not be a false word and know that in the Translation in the Major OF is read in the divine and sacred expressing or writing Now minde I will not neither can I give it the name Scripture if it were but for that one word OF and that word but named once in the whole book for minde we have and do read OF an Affirmative and it is in our language or speech a Negative Now I come not to dwel in the name or shadow
made in the perfection that is to say thus much God doth cause obedience in the creature and that obedience is acknowledgement of digression and that acknowledgement wrought from that root obedience which is truely Christ in the Soul for he causes an acknowledgement God is satisfied through him the Spirit of obedient man is taken into perfection or heaven Do not deceive your selves God is not like partial men for God is love mercy and compassion Now let me shew unto your view one place of Scripture so called that you and I my self in the daies when I knew not God was much troubled at that is a text translated corruptly from which place that place in the Romans doth hold coherent the text is this as you read it Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated and this was before the Children were born now I plainly see the Sarbax or strength that that place in the Romans fetches that is implied thus much that it might stand with Gods decree according to Gods election as I have declared them words were none of Pauls But now brethren I beseech you by the mercy you have received lay by all prejudice opinions and minde exactly and directly for it is the maine asperse that lies upon the holy and just and glorious God it is laid upon him by the invention of man first I will read the true text in the truth of words to express the intire union significant which is this Eval-silo-reme-am sardet a salu oâ—oniel In that word odoniel is the main mistake for it is rendered addoniel the English of odoniel is the all-saving mercy of God and addoniel is God in his declarative of Justice Now I read the whole text coherent in the intendant which is this Jacob I love Esau I hate Now let me tell you that these two are in every man and woman under heaven For Jacob is Gods delight that was as much in that day or time as Christ with us for the maxims full drawn is both one for it is in truth no less then the Spirit of God in man or Christ in flesh Now Esau is the Spirit of man that was denoted in this word Esau which word in the original signifies a searcher or pryer or deceit or weakness which is indeed that Spirit that Paul saith is enmity against God or higher it is one with the Devil I prove it thus Esau was and is that searching Spirit that would pry into the secret of God which was a Spirit of disobedience that was and is to be cast forth Now Jacob is an hebrew word Scholars it is wrote with three radiaces in × Sambah or Sameck that is the name which is denominated in the highest strength in pronounciation that is the meaning when I say such a thing is wrote in Sambah × now the characters decyphering out this state are ר ×› ×™ Rosh Caph and Jod Now Scholars you quarrel with me because the radiaces do not give the true tone or sound let me demonstrate unto you that are the highest learned in the world in the state or sitation take notice and do you know that in the Caballesterial insertion the true knowledge in that mistery lies in the very averets or Frame in the rough materials that is knowing them in their true desendant â—â—ttere thus much to know every radiace in his proper weight in his senter Original and to know him in his true original senter that is both negatively and affirmatively and then to know the true state of all his combinements in himself and with all others in their various and dubious imports and compounds this is one hint of Theauraujohn unto you learned ones though I my self am unlearned Now to show you ר ×› ×™ Resh Caph and Jod denotes Jacob it is thus much ר Resh is wisdome ×› Caph doth impede that wisdome ×™ Jod doth illustrate through ×› Caph and ר Resh so to draw the consort into one entire insert it is thus much Gods loveliness in man or the Image of God in man this is Jacob for he saith the inserted he Scripture was the figure of Christ Now I have shown you Jacob Now I come to show you rough Esau he is wrote with three radiaces that are these ש ×– ×” Sin Zain and Hea. Now people I intreat your patience while I do define this state to our great learned ones Now you great learned Rabbies If I according to your learning had but stated × Sambah in ש Shins stead then there had been some sound in the pronounciation and do but read the state contrary then you might have made the stated state sounded Heza and now it sounds Hezin Now I will show you the Original of them three radiaces I hold in the Hebrew term or else radax in English is the proper word Now ×” Hea is weakness ×— Heth is her essence ×– Zaine is a figitive compound in any state according to the truth in the methodical method ש is weakness her essence lies in × Samah or Sameck now shut these together then it is the figitive Spirit in weaknesses that is the rebellious Spirit in man which indeed is the Devil in man unto which Spirit Christ spake when he said they were of their Father the Devil whose works they would do because they were guided by that figitive Spirit that deceiver that Antichrist which hath prevailed over all Nations and now raigns in England in his predominatest spheare yea and in the clothing of holiness or holy zeal and the obeyers of him are deceived and know not that the Lye is in their right hand and hath deceived them But now to come to clear the goodness of God from that charged partiality by mans false conception of his knowledge of him I intreat you minde First I say as I have declared God could not chuse when all was wrapped in the womb of union how could he chuse when nothing was produced but himself alone in his alone and entire Essence I beseech you minde for it will if duly considered take off a great deal of trouble out of both heads and hearts of many people who lye under eruel bondage of this corrupt and false conception that God had from Eternity ordained some unto salvation and some unto damnation which is absolute Blasphemy I prove it to be Blasphemy thus that that can or will be partial it is not God for God is just and just doth not nor cannot admit of partiality then let all the world know that God will not act that himself that he commands man being his representative to be warned of which is these words spoken by God to man that is this command do just without partiality Now you will say are we not as the Pots in the hand of the Potter and may not God do what he will who shall say why doest thou so to his Maker I pray you mind I intreat you I say no the comparison is weakness and it is false I prove it
the highest but here comes the separating Ax that is thus Christs people are operative doers and ye are onely operative hearers and your doing is contrary to that you have heard so there you have set to your seals for doing is the sealing to others what God the merciful Creator and Lord of heaven and earth hath done in us Therefore I intreat all in Christs stead never hear more unless ye resolve to be doers of his will whose voice you seemingly desire to hear for in hearing and not doing ye treasure up wrath against the day of wrath which is even at the very door ready to seize upon all disobedient hearers and not doers of the things they have heard for God shall render wrath in fury like flames of fire upon the disobedient hearers Not he that heareth my Word but he that doth my Will even that same man or woman is my disciple Let me tell you one doing is better then all the hearing that ever you heard in all your days Now this that I have spoken it is the Prophet that is sent Non homo in prophecie sed propishe in re semmam The English is this Man is not the prophesying Prophet but the Prophet is the Prophecie and yet both in one that is to say in truth Man is not the Prophet but the light in man from God that even that is the true teaching Prophet Now know that this Prophet is never sent forth to one man at one time to reside in but it is Gods light at the time of Gods pleasure when the people are lost to renew them and connex them together by his Prophet that is his union Spirit in his appointed gathered All. Now I will discover unto you the notes or signes that you may know the Truth in the Prophet whether it be true or no that he declares And I will come unto the highest Instalments thus first the Spirit of the Lord by communion goeth forth to gather the people not by mans voice are the people gathered but by Gods power in his own Spirit for mans voice is a Lye but the true strength gatherer is the Spirit of the Lord. Now know that I know God will gather a true figurative Church in England and that gathering is the cause of all the trouble upon the spirits of men at this day and as the light doth increase so doth molestation and trouble increase upon the natural man for Antichrist must be before Christ in his creation for out of a confused Chaos Gods union shall be perfectly selected out That is this work that is in the earth it is Thorakx alli that is the high Revolve of the Revolution of the JEWES and their calling that is a turning from dark and dead names and dead idols though supposed Gods to serve and worship the true and living God that made heaven and earth and all things Now I come to denote the Prophet that is as it were the head unto the members I beseech you minde in that headship he is servant unto all Minde this state for it was Christs own example Who will be greatest among you let him be servant unto all That was Christs own example for he washed his disciples feet Now this Humility hath cast out the devil which is Pride and Exaltation and this lies written upon the spirit of that man in whom the Spirit is in the Flue or fulness of it I have nothing but that I have received neither do I understand what I have received But it is it self and I am yours to serve you in love which is the Gospel in truth and Truth in love is Christ and Christ is Gods So much for the first Notation of Dâ—vitie Devinam of the divine riches or spiritual gift or the Spirits teachings or the Spirit of Prophecie The second note of the true Spirit dwelling in man is this The man must and is for the time taken wholly into the Spiritual work that is this his delight is so far drawn into that lovely beauâ—y of excellencie that his love is wholly in that divine light so that he hates all ends and by-respects onely advancing the glorious illustration of that beautious excellencie by voice of breath and doth seal it with a holy godly liberal life compassionate unto all Thus much Paul said Walk as we are an example unto you Be ye followers of us as we are of Christ the Lord for whose sake we hove forsaken all and do count all things but dung in comparison of Christ Jesus our Lord. Lex â—alionis in re The right understanding is Christ in the thing or the thing is Christ in the right understanding But brethren I would not have you ignorant of what hath been the reward of our Lord and Master and of the Apostles his brethren and servants and all they that will live up in the life of godliness they must suffer persecution for are we greater in this weak Age then Christ our Lord and Master was Was not he counted a dceiver a deluder a drunkard and a devil and gluttonous As it was then so it is at this day for then darkness did persecute light even so it is at this day O how are we censured for Ranters for Blasphemers and of the devil Now for what cause is this that we suffer it is first to make us perfect through sufferings that we may be made partakers of his holiness secondly that it might fill up the measure of their wickedness that destruction might come and take center in this Nation in these words Fill ye up the measure of your sins Now Brethren let me speak unto you not I but Christ in me I beseech you walk so that your walking in and doing from that root Christ your life may be demonstrated unto the sons of men that the life of Christ lives in you you in it and from that inliving life within ye act outward acts of righteousness and holiness without which no man shall the Lord and although ye are condemned for blasphemy and blasphemers yet I beseech you for Christs sake let your light of doing acts of mercy be great that so the illustration of that beautâ—ous truth may be by you so illustrated that they may be ashamed that have anâ— do asperse and speak evil of you wrongfully and know I act the life of the Gospel which is doing that you call blasphemy So worship I the God of my fore-Fathers in truth and righteousness and let me tell you that my blasphemy is better then your high cry of the name holiness Brethren I would not have any man to take the name for the thing as to say that the Bible and New Testament are the holy Scriptures and the Gospel and the holy word of God of which they are onely the bare names and not the thing they say or name what was done and what is to do and that is all the stead they stand you in But what is done in thee O thou man
and woman them names and spelling and much invention of man interwoven in the named Scripture Now the word of God written upon the soul that is the Scriptum est that is it is written in the Spirit what is that that is written it is this holiness unto the Lord written in thy soul by tha finger of God that is it that shall stand thee in stead and not what is writ in another or by another or what another shall write for let me tell thee O thou man and woman where and when God writes that then the false conception in man or woman ceases which power is in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as he is a Saviour and not in them dead names called Gospel or Scripture that doth only name a name of his saving us but it is his substance without name that doth save us and deliver us So beloved I would not have you deceived with the dead name but the desire of my soul is that you with my owne ingraftement may be placed in the true thing which is God the Lord. Now Beloved I walking and thus acting know that that you in me count blasphemy is a glorious declarative of truth in righteousness from that ingraftment which is Christ in the soul it is greater then your calling the letter the word of God and the holy Gospel of Christ Now let me tell you that though you see and understand it not Paul said and testified what I have declared and prove me in this point a blasphemer and you must prove Paul a blasphemer This I prove I say that the name is not the thing but a sound from the thing a sound is not a substance anso by consequence a Lyâ— and nothing but an abstract of ayr Paul saith that the better is dead and death killeth What odds is there betwixt Pauls words and mine in this state thus Paul may name or plant and Apollo may water but God giveth the blessing Now if the letter be dead know then all men it is a Lyâ— I prove it thus Things in death or dead are not lively for or what is dead there is but a name and a name is but a Lye for the substance there is withdrawn into the thing which is the life of all things and the name is but the dead ashes of that appearance Judge ye all people is the name life Is it life as thus to illustrate I say I will give such a thing unto such a one that is but name and it is good to the party when it is done that is received from the giver So all names are a lye till â—one be centred in that named name that is the thing spoken of or promised be wholly really performed unto the promised So you see all names are nothings and when the substance is come the promised name is returned into the acted thing Now draw all into one Maxzim it is thus God is the thing of all things and thing is as proper to denote the excellentest union as any word in any or all languages I tell you it is a higher import in the Ori Abba then JEHOVAH You cannot nor must not tell me though you speak from your received opinion what the highest denotation is in any one Language or Tongue for I know all Tongues and Languages and they are but one lighted life in the VE But brethren know God is the Life and all things are but names issued out from that one Life do but reduce them dead names to the living thing then they are not dead names as they were but living things in the thing that state lies dubious and so it shall stand unrefined yet Now Pauls words were the very same for saith he The letter killeth and the name is dead but the word of God abideth for ever turning all things and planting and transplanting all things according to its own pleasure Now the word of God endureth for ever because it is the life on whom all dependances dependeth but death that is all names are but a Lie and nothing but vanity in appearances So you see that a name is not the thing neither is the written insert called the Scripture the word of God for Gods writing is not upon paper but in the heart and spirit of his chosen ones So brethren deceive your selves no longer with that dead Idol of your own making for it is good in its place if a seeing eye enlightned do view it he values it at the true value for brethren our not being our selves makes us see double and that double fight overthrowes our true valuation for that that is good in his own place by our esteem of it it doth thereby become a God unto us for what man over values or over-esteems it is his Idol and by consequence his God Let me speak in the days of our vanity how many Gods have we sacrificed unto Now the shortest way to give a definition to the Querie it is this what have we not sacrificed unto Do not mistake me the sacrificing unto is this It is obedience unto that that is not God as thus I esteem Gold my love is drawn unto nay into it what will not I do that that God will not reward me for Because every God doth seemingly promise reward for every God doth give himself if adored to the person adoring Or thus again I worship Honour how do I idolize that God that will but procure me Honour for Honour is the God I look to be rewarded with Though man goes many ways unto his God yet the end he counts his safe centre and the centre is the end and so a God One more thus God the great Creator of heaven and earth is he unto whom all obedience is due Now he that doth give that due that is onely due unto God alone unto any creature or creatures it is to deny God his Creator his Royal pre-eminence Now this sacrifice doth every man in his dark condition as the Apostle saith Such were we in times past when we lived in the lusts of our own desire fulfilling our envious mindes in all lustfulness But now minde here is that that destroys all but here comes the separating power of breaking asunder our connexion that is Gods Word coming in power But when the mercifulness of God our Saviour appeared not through the righteousness that we had done but minde of his free mercy he saved us by renewing 〈…〉 our souls the new birth whereby they and we and all that are enlightned are renewed by the principle of obedience that is lust is cast forth and obedience is planted and set upon the right object that is upon God and then it acts righteousness and righteously O beloved you high account of the name Gospel and Christians it is the name that is the cause of your greater loss for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is this DONE in our souls or spirits we doing unto others from that gift which is Gods
mite nay halfe mite nay minute of time nay it is not to be defined in truths rule it is so short Non statis in ko saluat seabbris segat aluat hoi-sele mem The time is so short that I cannot state it for time is and it is time and for a nothing that is man is nothing and for nothing to state a time in a center it cannot be for the center is time and time is the center here is wisdom to the wise and understanding to the prudent time is time is not not is time and time is not now times are two and times are one not two times but one and that onely one In trinas in re that is three in one thing O Beloved if ye perceive any thing in me that is light know that it is this That I know the Land shall be destroyed therefore I beseech you that fear the Lord humble your selves and walk low in love for the time of vengeance hastens O a fire is coming I tremble to hear thereof therefore walk humbly before God that in the evil day you may escape as brands plucked out of the fire Brethren what I say unto you I practice in my owne person for abstenance and sorrow are my companions crying to God for my peoples gathering and my complaint unto my God is this O Lord thou hast made me naked before this people and hast caused terrible things to be declared when I was not my self but know that mad men so mad fools your owne proverb is oft-speak truth I have cryed in the streets I have declared what I have received yet who among you is departed from his evil waies my heart panteth and my spirit faileth and is weary because I see such small turnings unto God by obedience O Beloved that you were not more stupid then the beasts in your understanding you might easily perceive that if there be any God as by many mens and womens living they declare that there is not else they would not nor durst not do now as they do in this time of deceit O shall not the Lord throw downe his wrath in his fury and anger upon this hypocritical this all-tongue Nation But O people deeds of mercy is not amongst ye for the Lord hath looked from heaven and behold nothing but oppression is found in her Now know O England that thou art but a scourge to others to be scourged for scourging O ye that fear the Lord happy are ye for when destruction comes upon the World then even then is the time of your rejoycing for the righteous shall rejoyce when he seeth the vengeance coming Now we that fear the Lord are now dead but in afflictions then we live so beloved unto you poor dejected ones am I sent with the Olive-leaf of peace even unto you who are the precious ones in the sight of the Lord though in low esteem in the world nay necessity so overpowreth you that many of you want bread O this wanting bread in our Nation doth declare we live but in the name Gospel for refreshing the poor and releiving the needy this is the Gospels true thing for which my soul mournes in secret to hear and see the name Gospel cryed so high and doing which is the true Gospels not owned amongst us O what a dishonour is it to the Gospel that amongst us care is not taken to supply the poor Now I will show you the reason it is this every man being a Gospel unto himself that is the cause I prove it thus if thou did once owne Christs words to be Gospel then thy self Gospel is cast forth but thou ownest thy owne Gospel that is thy owne self-will to be the truest Gospel and so Christ and his Gospel is cast forth for thou sayest Christ shall not reign over thee by thy actions in plain English words thou declarest no less therefore brethren I beseech you every one of you free your selves from this high deceit and set to your seals that it is true for doing is a seal unto others what the Lord by his Spirit hath done in thee try whether thy walking and actions be ruled by Christs prescript or writing which thou callest the word of God now if thou actest contrary thou art word and Gospel and God unto thy self for his ye are to whom ye obey one thing I will state clear to you wise ones the point is this you say that the Bible and the New Testament they are the word of God I say you belye them in saying so for know if Gods word were of no more power and force in it self then it is in the insert or Testament I say you are a greater word and a God then that is I prove it thus that that you say is Gods word commands obedience unto something you in actions act contrary how can this be Gods word that cannot over-power you I pray you minde Now you are Gods word for the greatest strength that is Gods word and your strength commands that that is there commanded and you act freely your owne will now let all judge whether that you be not a greater word then that you calls Gods word nay you make it a Lye and become a God unto your selves Let all people judge now for you to acknowledge that writing to be Gods word and you are not reformed by that word I tell you you make God a Lyer thus God saith that his word is life and you say you know it to be so why then knowledge in truth of that word it is life unto all that it is commanded unto but it is death to thee because thou hast taken the bare notional name and unto thee was the word never sent in power which is the communicated thing Now let me speak unto you here is the difference Christ saith I am the door the way and the life Christ saith I am the eternal word now what is this unto any man until Christ be become thus unto us I tell you we are before he come and abide with us we are unclean spirits witches and sorcerers deceivers for we would climbe over another way then Christ hath taught us I am the door saith Christ but your actions answer for you you will go in another way that is by the power of your owne strength This is every namer and national gatherer in the whole world which is cast forth at Christs owne appearing and then all that you counted gain unto you is become loss unto you through the excellency that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. O that ye did but know what this Lord Jesus Christ is or that you could bear my knowledge in the thing El massah arkad axsi sephraim aspah salma oni pele labat arbattha koersim semar axsi The English to what it will bear God the Saviour is onely strong and omnipotent in every thing and he alone is the restorer of himself in the whole creation in appearances for this end
figtree for ye are full of beautious leaves of expression but come to the fruit ye are Devils in action Now you count the expression strange but it it is true therefore to be owned by you if you will do the Devils work be not ashamed of your Masters name now here you will use my owne method and say that the name is not the thing and that the Masters name is not the servants thing Now comes the plaine definition thus God is light that light is love now man in love he is in that light and that light is Christ and Christ is God now is not this a clear apparant truth Now as God is light the Devil he is but darkness to that light now in darkness is hatred and hatred is the Devil and hate being in man predominate he is Satan or Apollyon but these words will not carry the intention of our English word Devil if we would but let that word stand in name but we will have it thing and so we are one with that Apollyon or Abaddon which you say is the English Devil but the intendant out-runs the name quite out so brethren God and man make a declared truth Devil and man make a declared Lye Now what is that Devil and man for why it is to set forth the glory in created appearances though the Devil was never created nor made it is we that make him a creation and judge ye how great creators we worms and dust are things are greater in esteem then many times in truth they are But I pass now let me tell you the balance is come to weigh this Nation and Mene Tekel is found upon its basis or in hebrew Orbus kabus all ah The English is Thou art not weight in the highest ballance or in the center weight thy people are a vaine people trusting in the name but the knowledge in the thing is not in them Bealah arki peal ardi neset doni The English is this Thou art high in name but in me saith the Lord thou art not found for then love was the connexing thy joynts or members one to another but thou art Quas in tiby allah pealah anvi pean ardi dele mem The English is this Thou art for thy self in every man and self is exalted and Charity cast forth or is made a vagrant amongst us to our shame is this motto inserted upon us by the Spirit of God this saying is strange to you but it is true and you will feel it true if you belong to light as I have found so shall many more to their sharp sorrow but their after joy O Beloved I mourn for you I strive with God for you beseeching him to inlighten you in all spiritual knowledge and understanding blessed be the Lord I can say in a safe conscience as ever Paul could say I have not coveted after no mans gold or silver nor desired any thing of any man or of any of you but onely that life part that my soul thirsts after to see it gathered into union in the celestial center O beloved my soul is ravished with the deliteful delite for when I am poor then am I rich in him who is my riches that is Christ the mercy and strength of God Brethren ye and to ye onely I speak that are passed the Apostolical teaching and are come into the Evangelical living Allah all ah allah hoei selma amaseret one peon alpha haggarim semam in re ex al olo on The English of this hebrew state is to what the English will bear O the light the light the light of peace is in the Evanglical thing that is in God when we have passed these beggerly rudiments Apostolical which are dead names pointing us to the Evangelical living in God for if Christ be come you are no longer in the dead name but you are risen in the life of Christ into his body that is Evangelical Minde the Apostles words We are dead and our life his hid with Christ in God Behold here is the greatest mystery in the world men living speaking the height of the Gospel as you call it and these men are dead the same condition is every true new-borne man and woman in for our life is not in our selves nor in this body of dung nor in things below that is to say these beggerly rudiments or elements motional but our life is in God the Evangelical caller and gatherer of his people into himself and for this cause God did send forth his Spirit in men to converse with that self same Spirit in men that their conversing by his power are turn 〈…〉 to converting unto this end God made some Apostles some Pastors some Ministers and teachers some Evangelists and all was but the union of one Spirit in its efficacious varieties So now Brethren the same work is God a bringing about now in England and all Lands and it lies included in these Prophetick words of expression I the Lord will gather her I have cast 〈◊〉 off and she shall rebefore me as in the daies of old Brethren this is the gathering the Church of the Jewes for whom I The auraujohn and the rest of my brethren the Lord hath made fishers for to gather the people into a figurative figure of the Evangelical building therefore the foundation of the Jewes Church Evangeli 〈…〉 is laid here even in this house and the Lord my God adde unto it dayly thy increase of blessing the place may remove but the people cannot be shaken for God the Lord he is the Evangelical center so this meeting hath been the gathering the Church of the Jewes and the Jewes Church is the true name So you that are ashamed of the name of the Jewes see me nor hear me no more Sebat allah am R. Theauranjohn Taniour high Priest Epistle 15. Wrote at Eltham DEarly beloved Brethren God is love and know that he that acts in love doth act in God Now I beseech you mind how can it properly be said for man to act in God Thus it is if radically understood the Spirit of God in man being predominate that Spirit is in union with God in Essence though it be for a time a derivacie Now the Querie would be resolved thus God is love how is God love Thus God is love His fulness is a filling every want and necessity in the whole Creation that is by distilling acts of courpassionate refreshments to every distinct of his or of himself Now let me speak thus man is the Image of God in the earthly form not of the earthly form the distinction lies in these two words IN and OF Now beloved to come close unto the matter of the main concernment it is this that if you are not in God then you are in the Devil Now know that there is but light and darkness in the whole Creation now God he is the light the death or darkness is the called Devil Now what is God I answer
though it be Gods Spirit in the heart and the heart be sanctified yet a body of corruption doth remain for know that the inward righteousness cannot be demonstrated outwardly for it is another creation in man and not of man nor by man but by God himself and this creation that is spiritual cannot be demonstrated temporal Now here grows the mistake for the outward motional man that is mans spirit that is quick and motional and so swift that it is a subject of deceit and subject to deceit onely by the a yrie composure it was abstracted from this is mans spirit natural Now to show the maxzim it is this The spirit in the flue or full motion moveth in man this is Gods spirit in man and it doth through the operative power inlighten the dark spirit in man that is mans natural spirit but till that the spirit of God hath wholly subjected the natural spirit of man unto its own light there is a greater declarative of false light than before for when we were dead to life in the spirit of darkness then we were one with the world but being making alive in or by the spirit of God there is a great strong work declared both of truth and the lye by a strong motion acting in strength that is when the strong man sin is standing for the conquest and the opposition never ceases till the spirit of God hath gotten the prevalencie Now in this conquest by the spirit of God this natural spirit speaketh great names of things till that the spirit of God come like a sithe and cuts down the natural spirit even by the roots and causes an erection of righteousness then where sin did abound there grace shall abound much more unto the praise or glory of God which is denoted in this Hebrew word Gehest the ancient Greek word is Siah the Latine word is Cristus but I say Cristos the Hebrew word doth denominate thus much A root a strength unresistable a Forme a Tower and a Cave and a Circle The Greek word Siah doth import to know or overcome or to remain or sent the Latine word Cristos doth import an anointing a knowing and it will bear no more Now know that Massah is a Saviour and a Deliverer now all these is but the Gospel in the intendant Now let me speak to you all that can be spoken of the Gospel that glorious word and that magnificent transcendantest Gospel which word and Gospel are two words but one entire beauty of excellency that is not your called word of God neither Bible nor the new Testament nor that you call Gospel and the word of God but every life appearance is Gods word and not dead letters or names set together now that you are zealous for I my self have been as great a Zelot for them dead names called the written word of God Now I will show you that which in truth none in majoritie can deny that is this Gods word is truth and endureth for ever you cannot deny this The Word was made flesh that Text is false for the word in truth is in that Text the Word dwelt in flesh now mind the soul of man enlightned by Gods spirit is the Gospel the Word and the Truth and the living life of God in man for then God is said to dwell with men that is when God rules by his Spirit in the soul that is the Gospel and the holy word of God in the soul and not the dead letters and names that we by reading do so idolize and I do affirm that by man it is made the great Idol in Europe by this false conception for man thinks that he renews from that outward word and knows not that it is the gift of God illuminating within One word more to conclude this point Do you think that motion in the soul arises from without or from the life principle within judge ye whether your understanding be not within your selves every one of you the truth of that true knowledge is the gift of God into thy soul and this is thy Idolatry that thou sacrificest the gift given to be learned in from the dead name of mans false composure of names together so thou makest the living God and his richest and greatest gift to be conferred to thee through that and from and by that dead name written word or name Gospel Now word and Gospel it is the living life of God in you by the Spirit of himself that is the Gospel judge ye all whether it be so or not for as I have declared 't is not the name that can confer the thing but the thing it self doth confer it self without the name and then man speaketh the name from the thing done that is in short thus much God hath given the Gospel or the Spirit or the Word or life into the soul of man then it is Scriptum est it is then inwritten digitus Dei with the finger of God O! that of undoes all but I intend it another thing then is there stated Now know that the word of God cannot be written by none but himself here again you are all deceived that thinks that it can be wrote by man for know that the word of God abideth for ever it is the living life of God in the soul and that is wrote by and with the finger by God himself for the naming the words that flows from the ingraftment that is the light of God in the soul Now write this upon paper it is but a lye compare it with the truth in the heart for that Scriptum est in cor that is the writing in the heart by the finger of God it remains for ever Wherefore doth it remain for ever Enim est digitus Dei for it is written by the finger of God and that writing is and is is that writing and cannot be defaced and that writing causes the soul to move from death to life at last raises the soul into the celestial center O amalam orbeus in re fasisti nebat alli El. The English is O the evil in the eye of the soul by the writing of God upon that soul is cast forth Now I intreat you mind all people this is all the contest betwixt me and the enemies of light that is this I say by the grace given me that the name is not the thing now you say that the name is the thing by consequence but you understand not what you say You say that the Bible and the new Testament is the word of God which I deny and I affirm it is but the name of that word and falsly spell'd and set together and mans invention added in many places for ends of concernment Now I say the word of God can no man write but God himself and to ascribe that to the writing that belongs to God himself you thereby rob God of his glory and are grievous Idolaters Now let me speak I say there is such a
free mercy unto us we declare the work of God done in us unto the glory of God the Father the free giver of that free gift for brethren the Apostles must be as bad as ye hold me in this state Be ye doers of his will and not onely hearers onely deceiving your selves All hearing is but a lye that is deceiving until doing be come for the doer shall be justified in his deed and the hearer which is but a sound and a lye shall be cast forth and the doer is he and onely he that shall be received into Christ the Lord this this is the true Gospel Si Deus almorarum in re The English is Love is obeying the thing in all his commands Alui hessena amphi sele oraous-sebe-olat-al The English is this The height in love doth illustrate in the doer to the example and invitation of others O agomeon in a salma onary in reab oly odoneus O the height of love in the creature is in obedience acting the commands of the Creator Savior O alpha in cretura in re saguisse elma amaset in rem The English is this The beginning in the creature is the light from the Creator whereby he acts obedience unto the Lord his God sola alone Theauranjohn Tani the Jew Epistle 14. Wrote at Eltham O Beloved-brethren that eternal word or root it is the Gospel it is not the named word but it is the power Gospel in the soul which is not Christ in name but word God in power overturning the name and planting the thing for the true Gospel hath not nor cannot bear any name that is cypnered out in letters for it is the new creation within the soul and a spiritual work in truth of term cannot be named for a Spirit is spiritual what is the meaning of spiritual it is in import in the word as if it should be said thou Spirit art all and to all there is not nor can be no proper name at all Brethen my insert is beyond Apostolical for it is Evangelical and if you have the Evangelical eye then you see it mystery the litteral eye sees me not I am life if ye see meye are one with me nay we and as many as do see are all but one in the union for through Christ that is o-obedience we are made one with the Father in the celestial center But beloved now I come to cut your state that you are so fast stated in and upon and I shall show your deceiveable state stated and held and maintained and thus I begin I will give your state the precedencie for it was a name and that name was the written Bible and New Testament their names are called and were called so before you and I were borne that is they were called the word of God the glorious Gospel of Christ the holy Scriptures Non sabbah litteras sed sperituus devinus The English is The written letters are not holy but the intendant Spirit it is holy and holy cannot stand on Paper and Ink but in the souls of men in that figure or Image being that man he is the fairest flower in Gods field within this terrestrial Orb and as wholly stands in the soul of man which is but obedience from man unto God so wholly stands the center-bearer in the whole creation Beloved you that are taught in the Spirit know what is spoken for unto you is that teaching given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom Now brethren know that your composure of letters and names in the Bible and the New Testament cannot give true knowledge in this Mystery of the Kingdom for the mystery in the Kingdome it is spiritual and no name can define a spiritual thing for this is the reason the one is Truth the other is a Lye thus the spirit it is Truth Truth it hath a center nay it is the center of all things and all founds or names are but compositions semblances and semblances are no substances and no substance no center therefore nothing a meer Idea a meer Lye a Fancie a Shadow a Vanity Now you will say that I deny the Scriptures now I joyne issue with you your selves mine enemies you shall be judge first it is true I do deny the Scriptures as you hold them forth nor you understand not what you do hold forth that is it I affirm for the insert or Scripture in many places is true according to inserting or writing but it is made a lye by your practising This is the Scripture I affirme to be true Scriture First I hold the Scripture to be true if truely wrote you understand me not I pass now I tell you you understand not the Scripture but you make the Scripture false for the Scripture is true they admonish all to love one another then wherefore doest thou see thy brother in need and wherefore dost thou wrong thy neighbour to set up thy self The reason is this I pray you minde thy self is thy Scripture and thou hast denied the literal word of God that thou callest the word of God and the Gospel but thou deniest Christ the Lord and his commands are cast behind thy back and thou art both Scripture Law and Word and Gospel thy self and so indeed thou art the high Antichrist that is Christ the Law the Word the Gospel the Scripture all these thou art enemy unto nay a destroyer of them all Brethren out of love I intreat you out of knowledge I do admonish you be ye warned of this main condemnation that floweth forth upon you by your owne knowledge and forwardness I beseech you in the bowels of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour remember the words of my Brother Peter the Apostle they were these in the daies of our ignorance God winked at but now that all should come to the knowledge of of the truth Now Brethren I beseech you minde what you curious and eloquâ—nt and quick witted ones have gotten by your affirming that the Scriptures as the Bible and the New Testament is the word of God now you know that the word of God abideth for ever and it is a word of power and discerning between the joynts and the marrow nay betwixt the soul and the spirit I beseech you minde It discerneth betwixt the Apostolical doctrine and the Evangelical declarative whereof and from that root I affirm that is the Evangelical expression it is beyond the Apostolical Insertation or writing but to come to the word of God I affirm it to be himself for if it be true word it is true God for God and his word are not two but one â—ntire onely one now know Gods word is of that power nay it is that power that over-turneth all things into it self Now minde I beseech you the Scripture that you say is the word of God you are a greater and stronger word then it for it calls for obedience you will not obey therefore by consequence you are a greater God then
