is light and John saith Light shines in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it and the Apostle saith God hath commanded light to shine out of darkness so the light comprehendeth darkness and gives the light of the knowledge of God and the people of God that sate in darkness saw a light and to them that sate in the shaddow of death light is sprung up Here was the unconverted estate and the converted estate when they sate in darkness and the shaddow of death there 's the unconverted but them that was converted light was sprung up but darkness could not comprehend it Matth. 4. but who is come to witness the day Zachary speaks of that the light would not be clear nor dark but at the evening it shall be light This was the day when the living water was to go out from Jerusalem Zach. 14. who sees that which Habakuk saw Hab. 3. the glory of the Lord covered the earth whose glory was his praise whose brightness was as the light and the judgements of the Lord God and his Son are as the light that goeth forth for who acts contrary to the light God who is light his judgements are according to the light and are one with the l●ght and answers the light in every one Hosea 5. Lam. 3. he saw when he was broug●t out of the darkness into the light so there 's a time in darkness and a time out of darkness but he saw each condition who come under that which was transgress●d such as provokes the Lord to anger to such the Lord said he would take away their light of the candle such as transgress the ways of the Lord Ier. 25. but such as hears the word of the Lord they come to witness the state where they shall not need the light of the Sun nor the light of the Moon nor the light of a candle but who transgress the word of the Lord shall want the light of a candle so to the Law and the Testimony if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them Mark how should they when they have transgressed it and loves darkness more then light and are gone from it so gone from the testimony which is the Spirit of Prophesie which is the testimony of Jesus and speaks not according to the word which is light in them so who are gone from the word are gone from the light and where the word is transgressed the light condems them for the light comes from the word Christ whose name is called the word of God which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world and the law is light and here 's the state of darkness where there 's no light in them which comprehended not the light which be in the transgression and there 's the place for the familiar spirit to enter Now if ye say the Letter be the Testimony and the Letter be the Law Isa 7. the Pharisees they had the Letter which stood against Christ the ligh● and they had ●he Law if that be the Law and if that be the word and they stood against Christ the light which had the words of the Law for mark them that have transgressed the light which is the Law they are from the testimony and they are from the light and then there 's no light in them and such was the Pharisees which professed the Scriptures and doth not believe in the light when it was come yet light shines in darkness but darkness doth not comprehend it and there 's that which is dead in sins and trespasses which before conversion must be quickned so the people that have walked in darkness have seen a great light and they that have dwelt in a land of the shaddow of death hath light shined I say and they who transgressed who were from the Law and the Testimony called darkness light and and put light for darkness this was the darkness which could not comprehend it in the Transgression now with the light these were comprehended The Prophet comprehended these who was not in the light and spake not according to the Word th●y spake not according to Christ which the Prophet said that God would give him for a covenant of light to the Gen●iles and to op●n the blind eyes and to bring out the prisoner from the prison and them that sate in darkness from the P●ison-house Ma●k what is the Prisoner must come out here that must come into covenant with God doth not the light come to shine out of darkness here where the Prisoner comes out and is he not in darkness till that I have long held my peace and have been still I w ll bring the blind by a way they know not and will lead them into paths that they have not known I will make their darkness light now you that a e bl●nd cannot comprehend the light such stands against the covenant of God and sees it not that be blind but such now ●he Lord God is come to lead to make darkness light and to lead them the way they have not known Isa 42. Moreover saith the Lord the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun as the light of se●en days Isa 30. and saith the Lord is it a light thing that thou shouldest be as my servant to ra●se up the seed of J cob and to restore the preserved of Israel Mark to restore them here 's Covenant with God I will give thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou mayst be my salvation to the ends of the earth Mark Now you that say h● doth not enlighten every man that cometh into the wo●ld you see not the salvation of the ends of the earth Isa 49. who is among you that feareth the Lord and obeyeth the voice of his servant that walks in darkness and hath no light Mark that walks in darkness hath no light while he walks in darkness what l ght hath he there let him trust in the name of the Lord and stay upon his God then he stays upon the light but if he walks in darkness he goes from the light and whoso feareth the Lord and obeyeth the voice of his servant that will lead him out of darkness into the l●ght Isa 50. and such comes to find the help of God But such as walks in darkness goes from the light and fear of God and stays not upon the Lord and such comes to have no light for darkness cannot comprehend it though light shines in darkness yet darkness cannot comprehend it so they will put light for darkness and darkness for light which is comprehended with the light which reacheth to the light which shines in darkness Darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people Mark cover and light shines in darkness but the Lord shall rise upon thee and his glory shall be seen in thee and the Gen iles shall come to thy light Arise shine for the

E. B. Concerning the Light HEre you may perceive that be in the light a distinguish between them that walk in the light the converted and them that shines in darkness that be unconverted which are the state of darkness and the state of the Apostles preaching to the world and the Jews in the unconverted estate and the estate of the Apostles writing to them that were converted the Believers and the state of them that opposed Truth who was out of the light as you see the Jews which professed the Scriptures of Truth declared forth from the Spirit of Truth and themselves out of it out of the Spirit they knew not Christ the light the end of all the holy men of God speakings and writings and the end of all the types and shadows and figures Him whom all the holy men of God gave test●mony of and the Prophets of the Lord God To all you that now be called Christians and believeth not in the light that enlightneth every man that cometh and yet profess Scripture you are in the same nature the Iews were in for they professed Scripture but did not believe in the light which did enlighten every o●e that cometh into the world Christ Jesus So you and the Jews being one in professing the Scriptures in words but not believing in the light you be both out of Covenant so you cannot convert the Jews for the conver●ing of them is to bring them into Covenant with God who brings them into Covenant with God must be in the light and believe in the light which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe for saith God I le give him for a Covenant of light God speaks by his Prophet before Christ is come to put an end to the types and shaddows I le give him for a Covenant of light to the Gentiles to enlighten them and I le make a new

That which doth make manifest is light and that which doth reprove is light and all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light for whatsoever doth make manifest is light for every one that doth evil hateth the light and will not come to the light because it will rep●ove him this is the true light that doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world What is the drunkard enl●ghtned and the swearer and the adulterer and the Heathen yea drunkenness is an evil deed and theft is an evil deed and adultery and the murderer and these doth evil and these comes not to the light lest the light should reprove them and these with the light knows they should not do so and this is their condemation saith Christ the light and their works are wrought out of God and these are the children of disobedience now he that loveth the light he cometh to the light and bringeth his works to the light that they may be m●nifest that they are wrought in God and he is not condemned so times of darkness the light not comprehend●d with the darkness and the light shines in darkness and a time of putting light for darkness and this the time when the word hath no place in them and this is the time of the children of disobedienc● the Prince of the power of the Ayr rules i● them this is the time of the unconverted under the power of Satan in the darkness not turned to the light for this is the time that the god of the world blinding the eyes that the light of the glorious Gospel should not shine into them for God having commanded light to shine out of darkness to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God Here the salvation is known the everlasting Covenant is known and and all who denies the light denies the salvation of God to the ends of the earth and him the Prophet Moses wrote which God would raise up which the people should hear which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world which is the Treasury of Wisdom and Knowledge which light being turned to it which comes from Christ which shines in the heart it gives the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ Now the first Priestho●d and his lips was to preserve th knowledge of the people and they was to hear Moses the Jews was which there was a separation between them and the Gentiles the second Priesthood Christ is a light to the Gentiles the Gentiles shall hear him and the Jews shall hear him and this is the Prophet Christ Jesus that Moses wrote of which God would raise up that people should hear and doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that all men might through him believe so they were to hear Moses and he that doth not hear him is to be cut off he goes from the light they that walk in the light have unity one with another G. F. TO all you Professors Priests and Teachers who are in the darkness and knows not the spirit in prison and knows not the light that shines in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it but are the Infidels whom the god of the wo●ld hath blinded to whom the Gospel is hid though they have the four Books yet the Gospel is hid who are now stranging at the work of God and do not believe that Christ hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world so I shall give you some Scriptures to read which will prove the Spirits and try them how contrary they be unto the Apostles spirit Christ and the Saints Christ went ministring to the spirit in prison he that readeth let him understand whether this be a measure of the spirit yea or nay or the spirit without measure which he ministred to for he whom God hath sent speaketh the word of God John 3.34 for God gives not the spirit by measure unto him Here Christ had not the Spirit by measure given unto him and the Apostle Paul said 2 Cor. 10. they would not boast themselves above their measure now here was measure and not by measure and Christ saith who retained not the spirit by measure to his Disciples that he would send them the Comforter the spirit of Truth that he should guide them into all Truth for he shall not sp●ak of himself but whatsoever he
shall hear that shall he speak and shew things to come he shall glorifie me for he shall receive of mine saith Christ and shew it unto you who believe the measure receive of mine whose is not by measure and the Comforter when he comes he is to reprove the world of sin and of righteousness of judgement and unbelief of sin because they do not believe Now mind all the large Book of God the spirit of Truth which leads the Saints into all Truth which receives of Christ and shews it unto his Disciples who be in their measure he shall reprove the world because they do not believe and of sin of righteousness and of judgement Now the Comforter whom Christ will send take of his and shew it to the Disciples who reprove the world Now mind this and read this whether this be a measure yea or nay which c●mes from him who received not the Spirit by measure Iohn 16. He that leads the believers into all Truth reprove the unbelievers in the world of sin of judgmens and righteousness so he that is led into all Truth sees that which is reproved with the spi●it of Truth that leads and when Christ saith he shall take of mine and shew it unto you whether this be a measure yea or nay from him whom God gave the spirit not by measure too And saith the Lord by his Prophets and Apostles It shall come to pass in the last days I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and my sons and my daughters shall prophesie young men shall see visions old men shall dream dreams and on my handmaids will I pour out my spirit in those days a●d they shall prophesie Acts 2.17 18. Look you Deceivers Here the Lord saith he will pour out of his spirit mark the word out of it upon all flesh What young men and old men and sons and daughters and maids All these to have the spirit of the Lord upon all flesh poured Here say they these deny the means then here mark the word out of the Lords spirit and the notable day of the Lord is coming and whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved Numb 16.22 the God of the spirits of all flesh is known and saith the Apostle Paul who would not boast himself above his own measure that which may be known of God is manifest in them God hath shewed it unto them with this which was of God manifest in them they knew covetousness malice murder deceit and ungodliness who knows the judgement of God was upon such things Rom. 1. and that they were worthy of death that not only do the same but have ●leasure in them that do them therefore is the wrath of God revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and unrighteous of men so whether this of God manifest in them which God shewed unto them with which they knew unrighteousness and Gods judgement upon them that do it and they are worthy of death whether this be a measure yea of nay which is of God which he hath shewed to them and what was that in them that did by nature the things contained in the Law which shewed the works of the Law written in their hearts M●rk written But shall not this judge them that have the outward Law but are out of the life of it and saith the Apostle Paul 1 Cor. 12. the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man to profit withal Now mark here the spirits manifestation is given to every one to profit withal there are diversities of gifts but by the same spirit and so the manifestation of it is given to every man to profit withal Mark to one is given the spirit of Wisdom to another the spirit of knowledge to another the gifts of healing to another the spirit of discerning to another tongues but all these worketh the one and the self same spirit dividing to every man severally as he will now to every man severally as he will And saith the same Apostle Tit 2.11 12. the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust and to live soberly and righteously Now you that turn this grace that brings salvation into wantonness may deny it and say it hath not appeared to ●ll men which teacheth the Saints which by grace are saved and saith Jude behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to ex●cute Judgment upon all to convince all that are ungodly amongst them of their ungodl● deeds they have ungodly commited of all their speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him Here mark against him that cometh with ten thousands of his Saints to convince all of ungodly deeds and their hard speeches now is here all of their hard speeches all of their ungodly deeds none left out but all Looke you blind what is that which convinceth all of their ungodly deeds and hard speeches is not that the spirit of the Lord which is now come and coming to raigne and to reprove the world who will raigne and be king and Judg and have not you all somthing in you that doth reprove you for your hard speeches and your ungodly deeds the ungod lyest of you all and who live in your hard speeches and the Apostle writing to the Gentiles he saith But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ now marke here is the measure of the gift of Christ who lighteth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe he that believeth is saved and he that doth not is condemned and this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather then light because their deeds be evil now every man being enlightened that cometh into the world one he loves the light and brings his deeds to the light that with the light he may see whether they be wrought in God the other he hates the light because that his deeds be evill and he will not bring his deeds to the light because he knowes that the light will reprove him that hates light whose deeds are evill whom Christ enlightened knowes that the light will reprove him therefore the will not come to the light because his deeds are evill and I will give him for a light to the Gen●iles salvation to the ends of th● earth and what is that which the children that wlaketh according to the course of this world the Prince of the power of the Ayre that works in the children of disobedience what is that which they are disobedient to a consider mark and read your selves which being d●sobedient they walked according to the course of the world and the Prince of the power of the ayre which now worketh in the children of disobedience now mark what disobedience is too and him that hath an eare let him read and hea● and saith the Apostle to the
