of them the which they having fulfilled quieting themselves as it falls in a sphear or degree lower here unto them the Promise is fulfilled which was prophesied of to the Jews saying from the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same Incence and Sacrifice shall be offered in the Temple of the Eternal Power Moreover As all men abide in the same Power of the Rising of the External Sun through a careful and constant watch of the mind in it they will come to see it arise in such a glory that as first the Light of the Moon that ruled the night became as the Light of the Sun which ruleth the day So the Light of the day that is now spring from on high shall be as the Light of seven dayes abiding as an Everlasting Glory of Brightness even for ever and ever and then will their Maker make his Tabernacle among them and they shall be his Temple and Habitation and he will be their Dwelling Rest Peace Joy Life and Glory eternally Amen Quest Hereby all men may see the true Worship ond Sacrifice what it is and in what Life and Power it is to be performed to find acceptance and answer concerning which if any should say that I have neither told them the matter nor the manner nay nor the times plainly in which man shall worship in Prayers c. Answ To such I answer Touching the matter of Prayer It is to be understood that Prayer is a Petition or Desire poured forth for something that is needful either to a mans own particular state and condition or else that is necessary for other men Now seeing the whole Creation stands in the alone disposal of the glorious Wisdom of the Cretor of all things he therefore knows best what is needful unto every mans estate which no man of himself doth know neither can know what is necessary for himself or any other Soul but by the pure and immediate openings of the Light in the Soul which purely doth proceed from the eternal glorious Wisdom therefore I teach no man words but labour to lead all men to the understanding of the eternal Wisdom and Power within them in this Light to wait that in his Life they may feel the Risings of the Power of his Wisdom which then may give utterance of words unto a man that were never known before by a man even such words as shall be suitable to the state of want either of himself or others and sometime also for the preservation of all souls in the blessed state all which in the good time of the Eternal Wisdom shall be answered who cannot deny himself nor that which is of his own Nature and performed in his own Life and Power So then this in brief no man of himself knows what to Pray for as he ought but the Spirit of Light of the Eternal-Wisdom helpeth the sanctified man's infirmities that is to say his weakness of knowledge and giveth unto him either sighs groans thoughts or words which answereth his Eternal Will in the Power of Wisdom which is the true matter of Prayer whereby every man's Formality and Will-worships comes to be abolished wherein also much may be understood as to the manner and time seeing it leads out of prefixed words and times that likwise stand in the adulterated will wholly into the will and time of the Eternal Wisdom in which still as a motion is inwardly found the matter was given and so his purpose comes to be revealed and known In this order of Worship all People may be thorowly satisfied That that which a man receives in the Eternal Power and immediately from the Eternal Wisdom into a sanctified Vessel is a Matter and Worship at a real certainty and assurance and in no wayes dubious and therefore may well be believingly received and perfectly owned by a man whilst all other sort of Worship if the eyes of men were but a little open to see it must needs be doubted because it is of that which a man knows not what nay nor can say that his method matter time nay nor yet his own person or soul hath any acceptance of the unknown thing that he doth worship in his vain imaginations Yet it is in me to instance another uncovered Case that in its nakedness every man may discern between the true and the false Worship and accordingly chuse the better if their hearts can take an affection to the better All People upon the face of the Earth may take one set form of words manner and time and in that custom pray all dayes of their lies and yet live and dye in enmity one to another as it 's this day manifest among many Sects that have set-forms of words manner and times appointed for Worship yet are of these minds some of them flattering others of their Brethren and Fellow-worshippers to their faces whilst they hate them in their hearts and revile them behind their backs And others of them there are that love one another to day for the sake of the corruptible things and the same persons on the morrow seen fighting one against another to gain the most of the corruptible things or a seat of presumption one above another and so rest in envy and malice one towards another even unto death this is the spirit of the power of darkness and all the Prayers and Worships in it stand in the adulteration and separation from the Life and Power of the Eternal Immutable Love and therefore is absolutely manifest to be the Cursed state But all People drawing to worship in the Spirit of the Power of Light which is the Eternal vertue of Love and Vnity here must certainly be found unanimous prayers with joynt hearts or rather as I have formerly shewed with one heart and soul because the one Spirit and power of Love makes all but of one soul so to every Prayer and Supplication in this Spirit all souls in the same Spirit say Amen in Truth and when they are according to every mans occasion separated and departed in body one from another yet still they are together as one individual body in the individual Spirit of eternal love and unity and thus they live in the body to the end and thence for ever in the same Spirit rest everlastingly out of the body without end These therefore I call the true Worshippers in the true worship and is the Blessed State Because as the first stands in the Adulteration and Degeneration from the true likeness of the holy Creator and therefore impossible that that state can have acceptance of him so this latter mentioned being in the true likeness and therein finding the true Unity with the Power of Brightness in which the Worship is performed and therefore must infallibly have acceptance of him From this Testimony which stands not only in the Letter or Declaration but in the power of an Endless Life and Unity it appears without controversie that this and only this latter
