and in truth for such he seeketh to worship him and therefore all must come to the Spirit of God and his Truth in their Hearts by which Truth and Spirit in their Hearts they must know the God of Truth an infinite Spirit and in his Truth and in his Spirit to Worship and Serve the God of Truth And if all Christendom had kept to the Truth and Spirit in their Hearts they had kept to the Worship that Christ the Lord from Heaven had set up for none can set up a better than he and then they had not set up so many Worships and Persecuted one another about them but all People must return to the Spirit of God and the Truth in their Hearts if they will Serve and Worship God their Creator for God is come to teach his People himself by his Son for as the Apostle saith God at sundry times and in divers manners spake to the Fathers by the Prophets but now in these last days God hath spoken to us by his Son who bruises the Serp●●ts head who hath been the head of all false Speakers and false Religions Churches Ways and Worships but God is the Speaker now to his People by his Son who was the Speaker to Adam in Paradise but when Adam forsook Gods Teaching and followed the Serpents he lost his happiness so have the Jews and the Christians therefore all must return by the Spirit Light Grace and Truth of Jesus to Christ Jesus the great Prophet Shepherd Bishop Leader and Counsellor that they may hear God speak to them by his Son and he that hath the Son hath Life and he that hath not the Son hath not Life though he may make a profession of all the Scriptures And none can receive the Son but by the Light Grace and Truth that comes from him in their Hearts Why are not all Christendom the Sons and Daughters of God which make a Profession of Christ Is it not because they do not receive Christ in his Grace and Truth in their Hearts which comes from him For Adam and Eve by eating of that which God forbid brought Death on them and their Posterity and now Christ the second Adam saith That he is the Bread from Heaven and except they eat this Bread from Heaven c. that he gives they have not Life in him so by eating came Death and by eating comes Life again it is not by talking And he gives his Bread from Heaven now for he is the Heavenly Bread Rock and Foundation Christ the same to day as yesterday and so for ever to all his People who was Dead and is alive again and Lives for evermore and Reigns in his People And now in this Gospel day of Christ the new Covenant God writes his Law in the Hearts of his People and puts it in their Minds that all should know him from the greatest to the least and none need say to his Brother know the Lord which thousands do witness this Law of Love Faith and Life that all may read what God puts in their Minds and writes in their Hearts and such are heavenly Jerusalem's Children who is the Mother of them all and no Mother can they own below the heavenly Jerusalem as the Christians did in the Primitive Times and such are the Church of the first Born written in Heaven cloathed with the Sun and the Moon under her Feet all changeable Churches Ways Worships Religions and Teachers all which change as changeable things for the Moon changes but the Sun doth not change but cloaths his living Members who is over his House the Royal Priesthood offering up spiritual Sacrifices to God not Carnal by Jesus Christ And when Christ sent his Disciples to preach the Gospel to every Creature under Heaven It was not with the Penalty of Prisons Gallows Fire and spoiling of the Goods of them that would not believe and receive them And therefore it is time for all that profess Christianity to put up the Carnal Sword concerning Religion and obey Christ's Command who said he came not to destroy Men's Lives but to save them and therefore love God and Christ and one another and Enemies for Love and Charity is the most Excellent way above all tinkling Cymbals and sounding Brass for they that dwell in Love dwell in God POSTSCRIPT AND all you Teachers that make a Scoff and a Mock at the Motion or moving of the Spirit of God but you had never had the Holy Scriptures which you make a Trade of had not the Holy Men of God spoken them forth as they were moved by the Holy Spirit of God and this shews that you are erred from the Holy Spirit of God that the Apostles were in and the moving of it and fellowship in it which proceedeth from the Father and the Son And as the Apostle said to the Church of Christ That I may know him and the Power of his Resurrection and the Fellowship of his Sufferings being made conformable unto his Death Phil. 3.10 This is the right Knowledge of Christ and the true Conformity 〈◊〉 they that are conformable to Christ who faith he is from above and not of this World such are not conformable to this World And now all you that go under the Name of Christians Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from Iniquity 2 Tim. 2.19 And if any Man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his Rom. 8.9 And the Apostle tells the Church of Christ That no Man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost 1. Cor. 12.3 And the Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son John 15.26 And again the Apostle saith to the Corinthians Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith prove your own selves know ye not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you except you be Reprobates 2 Cor. 13.5 And again the Apostle saith to the Romans The Word is nigh thee even in thy Mouth and in thy Heart and this is the Word of Faith which we preach Rom. 10.8 And again the Apostle saith The Mystery which hath been from Ages and Generations but now is manifest unto the Saints to whom God would make known what is the Riches of amabo oscultate Salemque quo cuncta quae sapiunt dignoscatis in vobismet retinete nec minus Oleum in lampadibus vestris semper habete ut fatuis virginibus absimiles sitis Talenta vobis concredita occupantes Pigri servi censuram evitabitis declaratio enim Spiritus Dei unicuique ad proficiendum datur Nec sitis locutores aut verbi Dei tantum auditores verum illius voluntatis Executores ne vestras seducatis animas semper vosmet perhibete Religiosus enim cultus incontaminatus apud Deum Patrem hic est invisere Orphanos Viduas in afflictione ipsorum immaculatum sese conservare a mundo Omnes qui Christianam professionem profitentur hunc cultum Religiosum a mundi
