Heritage And you may see in Luke 19.43 44. the Judgments that Christ pronounceth upon the Jews and their Children that disobeyed God and did not believe in him and Christ saith While ye have the Light believe in the Light that ye may become Ch●ldren of the Light Here Christ encourages his believers with a new Name that believe in the Light to wit Children of the Light John 12.36 And Paul saith to the believers in the Light Ye were sometimes in Darkness that was when they did not believe in the Light but now are ye Light in the Lord walk as Children of the Light Ephess 5.8 Ye are all the Children of the Light and the Children of the day we are not of the Night nor of Darkness 1 Thes 5.5 These are the Believers in the Light as Christ Commands And John saith My little Children 1 John 2.2 these thing I write unto you that you sin not c. and if any man sins we have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous c. but they must take heed of sinning willfully I write to you little Children because your Sins are forgiven you for his Name sake here is a comfort to Christs little Children Again John saith to little Children It is the Last Time and as ye have heard that Antichrist should come even now are many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the Last time they went out from us to wit the Antichrists but they were not of us to wit the elect members of the Church of Christ for if they had been of us they would no doubt have continued with us but they went out from us that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us And these things I have written unto you concerning them that seduce you but the Anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you and you need not that any man teach you but as the same Anointing teacheth you of all things and is Truth and is no Lye and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him And now little Children abide in him to wit Christ c. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not whosoever sinneth hath not seen him neither known him Little Children let no man deceive you he that doth Righteousness is Righteous even as he is Righteous He that committeth sin is of the Devil for the Devil sinned from the beginning for this purpose the Son of God was made manifest that he might destroy the works of the Devil Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God In this the Children of God are manifest from the Children of the Devil which is a clear manifestation and distinction Again John saith My little Children Let not us love in Word neither in Tongue but in Deed and in Truth hereby we know that we are of the Truth and shall assure our hearts before him This is a good tryal little Children 1 John 3. Ye are of God little Children and ye have overcome them to wit Antichrist and the World and its God because greater is he that is in you than he that 's in the World a good reason to little Children the greater to overcome the lesser and every one that Loveth him to wit God that begot him loveth him also that is begotten of him by this we know that we love the Children of God when we love God and keep his Commandments this is a good tryal and a manifestation 1 John 5. And Paul saith to the Galations in chap. 4. My little Children of whom I travel in birth again until Christ be formed in you This is a good Travel which should be every true Christians and not to travel to persecute Christ where he is formed within his people for that is a bad travel And John writes to the elect Lady and her Children whom he loved in the Truth c. and said I rejoyced greatly that I found thy Children walking in the Truth c. this is cause of great Joy to see Gods Children walk in the Truth Again he writes Gaius whom I love in the Truth said he I have no greater Joy then to hear that thy Children walk in the Truth 3 Epist of John Now this is a concern for all true Christians that they and their Children walk in the Truth that they may have the Joy and comfort of them in the Lord and his Truth in this World and in the World to come And every one that names the name of Jesus let them depart from Iniquity and not live in Iniquity and to see that their Children do depart from Iniquity for David saith The Lord hates all Workers of Iniquity and saith Depart from me all ye workers of Iniquity and therefore train up all your Children in the nurture and fear of the Lord that both you and they may all serve God in his Spirit in your Creation and Generation for Children are the Heritage of the Lord and ought to be trained up in his fear and serve and worship him in his Spirit and Truth for it is the Lord that gives the increase of them all it is he that brings to the Birth and gives power to bring forth whether it be Natural or Spiritual and the Life and Breath and the Souls of all is in his hand and Power I was by him as one brought up with him I was daily his delight rejoycing alwayes before him rejoycing in the habitable parts of the Earth and my delights are with the Sons of men Now therefore hearken unto me O ye Children for blessed are they which keep my Ways hear instruction be wise and refuse it not Prov. 8. Here you may see the Eternity of Wisdom which is to be desired for the blessing it brings The Apostle Paul tells the Corinthians That I have espoused you one Husband that I may present you as a Chaste Virgin to Christ 2 Cor. 11.2 THE END
Here he was tender of Children which are the Heritage of the Lord and the Lord said Thrice in the Year shall all your men Children appear before the Lord God of Israel Exod. 34.23 Here you may see the care the Lord takes that Children which are his Heritage should be acquainted with him which ought to be the duty of all Parents And the Lord said Take heed to thy self and keep thy Soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine Eyes have seen lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy Life but teach thy Sons and thy Sons Sons especially in the day that thou stoodst before the Lord thy God in Horeb when the Lord said unto me viz. Moses Gather me the people and I will make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me all the dayes that they shall live upon the Earth and that they may teach their Children Here you may see the Care of the Lord both to his People and how they are commanded to teach their Children yea their Sons Sons the Children that are Gods Heritage might be Instructed by their Parents the things of God Deut. 4.10 And in the Old Testament the Lord God said Thou shalt do no manner of work on the Sabbath day thou nor thy Son nor thy Daughter nor thy Man Servant nor the Stranger which is within thy Gate they were all to rest on the Sabbath day in the old Covenant so were all the Believers whether they be Masters or Mistrisses Sons Daughters or Strangers to rest in Christ in the New Covenant for he that believeth is entered into Christ the rest and ceased from his own works as God did from his Know therefore this day and consider in thine heart Mark in thine heart that the Lord he is God in Heaven above and upon the Earth beneath there is none else so with the Spirit of God ye may know him in Heaven and know him in Earth and thou shalt keep therefore his Statutes and his Commandments which I command you this day that it may go well with thee and thy Children after thee that thou mayst prolong thy days upon the Earth Here again you may see what care the Lord takes for his People and his Children Deut. 39 40. And you may see in Nehemiah 5.5 how they complained of them and their Children their Sons and Daughters were brought into Bondage because of going astray from the Lords Commandments And in Nehamiah 9. how they had rebelled against the good Spirit of the Lord that he gave them to instruct them And is not this the cause now that Christians are in Confusion for rebelling against Gods good Spirit though they may make an outward Profession of the New Testament as the Jews did of the Old Thus saith the Lord in Isa 49. Behold I lift up my hand to the Gentiles and set up my Standard to the People And is not this Standard Christ And they shall bring their Sons in their Arms and thy Daughters shall be carryed upon their shoulders And where do they carry their Children and their Sons and Daughters is it not to Christ who teacheth them and blesseth them The Lord saith I will make all my Mountains a high way and my high way shall be exalted And is not God and Christs High-way his Light that is the path of the Just and High-way to the Perfect day And Kings shall be Nursing-Fathers and Queens Nursing-Mothers And that will be a happy day when they come to nurse Christs Chickens Doves Lambs Babes and little Children Then Persecution will cease for not taking Oathes and Swearing and for not Paying of Tythes and for not going to the Worship at Temples made with hands and then Christs Doctrine will be obeyed who saith Swear not at all but let your Yea be Yea and your Nay Nay c. And then every one that hath received freely from Christ will give it freely as he commands then every one will know their Bodies are the Temples of the Living God and then every one will walk in the Light Gods High-way which shall be exalted and in it they have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Christ the Son of God cleanseth you from all sin And Isaiah 54. All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thy Children that are taught of the Lord in Righteousness shall they be established that are taught of the Lord Thou shalt be far from oppression thou shalt not fear and from Terror for it shall not come nigh thee that art taught of the Lord Behold they shall gather but not by me so then it is by the Wicked Spirit whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake that are taught of the Lord no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in Judgment thou shalt condemn c. This is the Heritage of the Servants of the Lord and the Righteousness is of me saith the Lord. And in 1 Kings 2.4 David saith That the Lord may confirm his Word which he spake concerning me saying If thy Children take heed to their way to walk before me in Truth with all their hearts and with all their Souls there shall not fail thee said he a man to sit on the Throne of Israel See that thy Children take heed to their way and walk before me as thou hast walked before me to wit David Now here you may see that not walking in the Truth before the Lord with all their Souls and their hearts made such Confusion among the Jews and likewise makes or hath made such confusion among the Christians for not walking before God in the Truth kept them off the Throne of Israel and therefore Children are to succeed their Fathers Path in the Truth if they will be accepted and exalted by the Lord and if they do enjoy the Comfort of the Lord as their Fathers did with the Promise as in 1 Kings 2.4 8.25 In Micah 2. he d●clareth against their Oppression and reproves the Jews for their Injustice and Idolatry and saith The Women of my people have you cast out from their houses from the Children have ye taken away my Glory to wit the Lords for Children are the Lords heritage and he hath a glory in them And Jo●● declareth sundry Judgments of God and exhorts the Jews to observe them and bids the Old men tell their Children of it and let your Children tell their Children and let their Children tell another Generation See what care was here and watches set up that Childrens Children might escape the Judgments of God by their walking in the Truth and keeping to the Lord with all their hearts and Children which were the Lords Heritage were to warn and tell one another to walk in the fear and way of the Lord with their whole hearts that he may have his Glory in them and their Children which are his
