The English is this The light of God set in man that is the first state Sede oli el Vau. The English The light of man is set in God onely There is the two states laid down I beseech you mind for we have had great disputes about this little world Man or Sabastanaies in his first principle But now God hath been pleased to let down the state more fuller and plainer Now mind First God is the Raigning Essence or Regency Essence in himself alone Secondly Man is a Derivative Essensied in that raigning Essence for in him we live move and have our being then know that that is and doth wholly depend upon another is Essensied in that he doth depend upon Now know you cannot give any thing to hold semblance with the Essence of God and the living life of man that is in the true propriety of speech the Essence of God in man Brethren many of you cannot bear that word but thus the Soul of man which is the very same in its originallity Now we will look into this desent from God to make man thus the Soul in man is the angel of God That is the pure divine Evangelicalquintessence which is the same in the forecited state Now the raigning Essence or God doth cause out of himself a Voice Life That abstracted out of the four Elements a composure of appearances of all things as well as the material or Beastial body of man Now there is a Body there is an Essence from whom this living life or Soul came to be placed in the abstracted four elements in a visible Corporal body now there is set downe the Case the Derivative cased the abstract of the the beastial body corporal Yet here wants the Spirit of man that the whole world cannot tell what it is where it shall cease whether in Heaven or Hell now this Spirit of man is to be fetched forth for it is the All that is either in bondage or in freedom Now Priests where will your learning fetch this Spirit that is the trouble of all nay the trouble of it self Now minde This Spirit of man is the quintessence of the four Elements motional and is alwaies operating in the body as the Coherents it was abstracted from and is continually motional Now know that that giveth more motion to this quintessence of abstract Elementary it is the conjunction of and with the Selestial bodies for their Ingreediences doth cooperate in the abstract and composed actuated and operated though he thinkes that himself is the cause of acting so it is but subordinate to the operating of the Selestial bodies predominacy for in truth that that doth act and the cause or motion be in another the other may be properly be said to act not that that doth appear in the thing Now let me tell you that this poor innocent beast or body of Clay doth nothing but the Spirit of God and of man them two do operate every man under heaven Thus I open that I have abstracted in three though I know them all three to be trines that is nine but in three I lay the state down because al may understand Thus the Soul the Spirit and the Body Now as in Gods regency Essence their Spirit is proper but in his derivative Essence Soul is the proper word and holds thus much Oli el the light of God in man not of man Now the Spirit of man is proper thus because t is the quintessence abstracted out of the Elementary motions with its recedings from the selestial influenses and thus is mans composure But now comes the main matter I say that the living life which is the Soul of man returnes to God and cannot detract his Ti or Essence and with obeying the inward dictatings of that living Life The Spirit of man is taken into the called Paradise or Heaven or Evangelical living and for not obeying the inward dictatings of that living Life within the Spirit of man is cast forth unto utter darkness which is counted Hell Now what is this Hell or darkness T is a Separation from an injoyment that it was capable of that is Hell and Devil and Lyâ—r and false Prophet they shall not come forth till they have paid the uttermost farthing then shall they receive mercy for know that God is Good and Just and mercifull and he will not punish a Finite thing Infinitely Now there is more in that Popish Tenent then the Papish know of

To the Reader Friends and Enemies BEloved whereas in my first Book Theous ori I did promise unto the world speedily the second part being then wrote for both the first and second were wrote in one scene of light but by reason of my false imprisonment for writing the Copy and the tossing from one Prison to another two of the Copies I could not finde until now lately wdich were in a friends hand these things with other necessities which were laid upon me was the cause that I could not discharge my promise Now thus much I do protest before God and his holy Angels I was forced to write I neither understood nor knew what I wrote and when it was wrote I could not rest till it were delivered unto the people Now what I thus wrote Captain Robert Norwood did read and by his wisdome dispute but I would not have you for to conclude a oneness in us two for what the Captain hath done or doth that is upon his account and what I have done and what I do that is upon mine account for when I was a child I held by any thing but now childishness is departed and counsel is established on her Throne as a short time will manifest Now let the wise and prudent weigh in their secret and juditious judgements and I leave it to the whole to consider what they could cast me in prison for it will appear mad Rage in them if they have condemned me for the things they understood not but blessed be the Lord who now hath given me understanding in the book and without the book that I in my Masters name Jehovah do challenge the whole Clergie in the world to dispute in any created appearance or any

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 unto the Lord. 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
wrote by Matthew Mark Luke and Iohn but what we have inserted is neither Matthews nor none of the rests you have not the name of many of their words and then the knowledge in the Spirit that was their light you are very far from no nearer then light to darkness the name to the thing is darkness to light Now before I begin I desire you desire of God that a clear manifest discovery may be made known unto you as the truth is in Jesus who is the light and life of the Father the buty of excelency Now know I come not to asperse the true Scripture but to take of mans invention that is inserted for the true Scripture for all is not Scripture that is written in the Bible and the new Testament for the truth in them both is but one truth and one intire Scripture now it is said that Christ his second comming is to Illusterate to the view the cleare discovery of the wisdome of God and reconcile the differences betwixt the Jews and the Gentiles which lies in the abstract of the Old and New Testament But the vail is upon both Jews and Gentiles concerning the main reconcilement of both in this main maxim that is Massah El Jah or Jehovah but to come to the beginning that is the Incarnation of Emanuel or Jesus or Christ First he was very God equal with the Father what was equal with the Father but himself for he is was and shall be one entire essence in him self before all and in product from him all came even this Son which is the true Image of the Father Now I beseech you mind the world was Christ I am the life of the world these are his words essentially for he was the maker of it and all things and let all people and Nations know that the maker of all things could not die for with him must die all the things made in heaven and earth But to begin Thus God sent forth his Son made of a woman What was that That woman was no less then the life created of himself that is to say his whole creation and he is the light of the whole creation But to come to state one entire State saith one text a woman shall compas a man now the truth in that text is this hevah alsiel agroanei selma that is thus much the strength of God taketh weakness into it this is the meaning of the Spirit in that text Another text translated is in Isaiah a Virgin shall conceive and bring forth her first born and they shall call his name Emanuel that is God with us this text I deny in the coherents additicinal thus is the words in the truth of words alsiel reme a sadi el dolorum in re fasisti nobat al dele a saous in re a pher sele Emanuel the English of the true text and the Spirits meaning is this A Virgin pure doth bring forth unto God that living life Emanuel now how can you confine these words that are a living life operating through the whole Creation in every figure now how comes this Emanuel to be inclosed or the included in the alone womb of one entire Virgin when Emanuel is the Virgin Spirit that is the life of God living in man by operation Now you add to that state to bring in your fleshly humanity Thus much a Virgin shall conceive and so bring it to the relation of our capacity that a Virgin brought forth Jesus the same say I but the manner and meaning must be truly understood Thus I say them words have a Spiritual interpretation as well as an outward signification Now mind Mary that word is perfection Emanuel is perfection also So they be two names but the whole Creation that knoweth knoweth that there is but one perfection Now I say that Mary the Virgin brought forth Jesus and I say and you in truth cannot deny but that Jesus brought forth Mary for without Christ made the Father nothing that was made Now minde this state Mary brought forth Christ Thus Mary is Christ and Christ is Mary for both Mary and Christ they be perfect names of one entire and alone thing the Caldean Tongue is thus read Ofagodo dolma maret eltah assi salos sabdi the English is Jesus the Saviour is that pure alone thing that cannot conjoyn into any one thing for he is the life of the whole O beloved of God my soul pants after you that you might be inlightned by the Spirit of truth but beloved you are so married to the dead letter of whose Translations you know not neither what Bait is laid in the mystery you know its Originality was not wrote in English and let me tell you that without the truth in that Spirit to the wisest man living the record in Scripture is but a dark riddle Was not the Iewish Rabbies as deep learned in the Scriptures in their litteral Expressions as you great learned ones are in these blind times though we may think a great light is in us when indeed it is onely a learned notional lye for all learning is the lye and it is the Whore that Iohn saw rise out of the bottomless pit for know what man can learn in the divine thing it is but to speak a curious name of he knows not what for the Spirits teaching is a turning and a converting teaching which mans words is but the dead name of that living life acting in power to the overturning all oppositions This is the Gospel that is a powerfull Substance compelling obedience unto it self Now beloved I come to let down the State to your capacity and let no man asperse my words But let them take a coppy from what is inserted that freedome I allow to all men for my inserted shall not be barred from any man and to what I have wrote I shall be willing to render an account to any How have I all along desired the Priests my Brethren to a fair despute in giving the state or taking the state from them to answer to them yet never could obtaine it which doth declare that they are in darkness and dare not come to the light for light is not ashamed but darkness and a lye seeketh shelter Now minde I beseech you my brethren for I shall put in the leaveâ— that raises the whole foundation I beseech you minde Christ as he is stated in your Testament could not be born I say it is Blasphemy to hold it forth according to the written inserted I intreat your attentions and be ye like the noble Bereans that searched whether the things were so or no that were declared Now mind what do I seek for at any mans hands or any thing that any one of you have but blessed be the Lord that hath spared me a little of that abundance that he had committed to my trust for in my washing is my refinement Now know Christ could not be properly said to be born that was the
cannot rob you of your Devil yet let me tell you this if you understood or had true capacity in truth then there is no Devil but God who is the light showing thee his beauty and that is his glorious truth and in that truth there is no Devil and this is true understanding and capacity to know God to be thy God then this Devil hath been a furtherer for thy good Now minde how hath these Thornes and Bryers and Devil been good unto the Vine-branches thus the Thornes are the pricks from the Devill which doth procure our unrest till the Devil hath as I may say hunted us home to our God who is our safe centre in which this cheat and cheating Devil hath no centre I term it a cheat or deceit or deceiving O that God would be pleased to open your eye then you never see the Devil but you see alwaies a Devil while you have a double eye or two eyes but when you see with the single eye there is then no Devil to be seen with union his eye Brethren it is your being more then truely you are that makes you see a Devil for if you did but see your self to be your owne self then there is no Devil but God alone O I wish from my soul that you had but the true sight then there would not be this judging one another and censuring one the other but instead of this envy which is the Devil but you must have it in these words this envy is from the Devil But now I will show you how envy you and the Devil are all one and in one Trine which is the dark semblances figurative figure of Terra Evangelius in re that is to say the light Evangelical in the thing but to let it down from the state to your capacity it is this the Devil hath his trine in figure as Christ hath his figure in earthly appearances but in their absolute adverse contrarieties as for Christs figure that is declared already in this Epistle in the Vine and the Vine-brances as Christ being the Vines root and the branches naturally branching forth from that true root which in the Egyptick tongue the word that holds the method inclosed in its womb is Glavo in the true Hebrew in Primus Maxi the word is Okas now the Greek word is Theos the Latine word Deus there was in the Translation of this word in the New Testament from the Greek tongue the reason I know why the word Logas or Logos for the variety of Dipthongs which is the foundation of the Greek tongue their connexions being so knitted one in another in the pronounced sound that the true understanding in many words is perverted and the sence in its extent lies buried Now let me speak my man-sight and judgement this is my own yet there is somewhat more in it then my judgment is that whereas you read In the beginning was the word which is in the import Logosh but you say Logos Now I give you my reason why I sound H as Logosh it is because I dignifie him in the Hebraick ר Resh whose import in that compound word doth import or denote the binding strength or strength word for strong word will not hold but the word Koash is this the strong binding root that word Koash will bear the maxim in his full denotation Now I say if true read before the beginning the root was you say in the beginnsng the word was now know your maxim cannot bear it in the state of God for God was before appearances came forth by or in his word judge ye all of this whether that the root was before the world was made and before appearonces did appear root is the properest denotation Paul saith we are his off-spring that is we are branchings forth from that root that was before the beginning as your text is read which Translation is false in that state and though I am unlearned and unread in what I declare and none more ignorant that hath any learning let me owne my owne and that is this I am a lyer God is true though it be somewhat strange yet it is true Brethren it reaches every one of you I pray you take this to back my words withall Paul saith Let God be true and every man a lyer or all men are lyers And now I come to show you the Devil Envy and Man and that last word Lyers will hold all Thus man was the Image of God I beseech you minde In true propriety of speech God can have no Image thus I prove it The whole altogether cannot figure out the Image of God but thus they do denote unto us the wonderous greatness and power and sacred Majesty of God for know God is to be considered in the works of his royal creation and not in himself for God is incomprehensable I tell you it is as easy for a Gnat to swallow both the sea and the land as for man to comprehend what the eternal Majesty of God is But know I must state the word Image because that you may understand my term Thus God made man in own his Image or likeness this is in the high light in man that is the soul in man now the soul in man I say cannot detract its derivacy but the spirit of man is motional and hath no centre whereby the strength of its quick composure that it is composed of or from it is in coherency in operation with the abstract it was abstracted from for know the Spirit of man is the abstract out of the quintessence of the four Elements with its recedings from the celestial bodies in their influences now I would not have any of you to mistake my denotation or meaning Now I will state the state in Hebrew Greek and Latine and in English that if the query be queried it may be reduced for the reducement of the query queried the Hebrew denotation is in these words Oli-Al that is to say the light of God set in man that is the Spirit from God yet inclosed in flesh a derivative it doth take this descent in nomination that is mind Oli el vau ו that is the light in man is wholly set in God which is the soul in man yet Spirit from God but soul will hold both from Gods denotation as well as Spirit for the Spirit from God is the soul in man and the soul in man is set wholly in God for in him we live and move and have our being that is the union his tye unto himself Now in the Greek the true word in the Originalest denotation it is Oukessi Avalle that doth denote thus much the clearness in man is the Spirit The Latine denotation is Ego sâ—â— vita mentis that is I I am the life of the minde or the mindes life which is but thus much by denotation the soul is Primus Maxzi that is to say the first strength in man that is the soul now
upon the return to God Spirit doth if it can be defined doth in the proper place as it were take the Precedency in the return but minde I ever state the soul in man to be Primus maxzi that is the first strength in man the denotation lies very mysterious that is it that causes the exactness in my state laid down now the first in man is the soul that is the breath of God which is the being life in man that is the soul in man Now I come to the Spirit in man that is truely mans all now that is Secundus vita in homo that is the second life in man or the second living in man Now know I am coming to bring the Envy Devil and Man all to make one Trine in figure and thus I begin First The soul although it be in man and be id est primus Maxzi that is the first strength in man yet it is not of man neither hath man any benefit in that soul until that secundus vita till the second life be brought into obedience unto the Primus maxzi that is the first strength Oli el vau ו that is thus much the Spirit of man that is Secundus vita in orbis that is the second life in this little world be brought into obedience into Primus maxzi that is the first strength in this little world man Now this is wrought by the Spirit of God infusive into the Oli el vau ו that is God infusing his Spirit which is word which is Gospel which is Light which is Life into the soul in man by that light which is Gods grace in the soul the Beauty of that excellency in the soul it doth illustrate into the Secumdus vita in orbis that is the second life in man which is the Spirit in man and by that beauty the Spirit in man is made obedient which obedience is Christ in us so by this light or Spirit from God we are reconciled in our selves that is the Soul and Spirit and Body for the body is acted by the Spirit in man and not by the Soul in that body till the light in the soul hath overcome the darkness in the Spirit and a marriage be inde abetwixt the soul and the Spirit and the Body now then in this marriage with us with Christ with God we are one enlightned Trine in our selves one with Christ one with God and all but one then we see him as he is which sight makes us one with the Father though a derivative yet in Essencie and we shall be one in regency Brethren here I have showne you the beginning work the way work and the end work O oli el vau ו amor in re sabat al halilujah in mem The English of the Hebrew state is this O the light of love set in the soul in man by God the word Re doth import God in this state it doth cause the ejaculations of Angels to returne to God for his free gift of rest into the soul this is the light Trine figurative figuratively the semblance in sanktum sanktorum where there is onely union denoted unto us that is in truth Gods love or mecy praising himself thus God in mercy made a creation and God gave mercy to restore his creation this restored being restored doth sing Halilusah in viva vose in Evangelious in Re. The English is this The mercy or the saved do sing Halilujah in the living voice of Angels in the thing so you see God his mercy in creating his mercy in receiving his created that very mercy doth praise God so in short Gods mercy doth praise himself take one place of Scripture I do not bid you beleive me nor it but stand upon your owne centre the words are these Thy works praise thee O God and we will sing unto thy Majesty Now I did bid you not believe me nor it How because I would not deceive you nor have you deceived and John the Baptist my Brother spoke the same words in the import when he said I baptize you but with water but there is one that will baptise you with fire and the holy Ghost John knew he was but a sound or a voice and knew that a voice or sound hath no centre but is a composure abstracted of aire which is but a lye or nothing that is all that man can teach but the reason that I bid you not believe me nor the place cited it is because I would not deceive your manhood for the manhood will gather together a stock of names and words of queries and answers and notions which is all but a Lye till the Spirit of the Lord be come and cast forth that dark deceit and Christ erect his owne glorious light So I would intreat you becarefull that ye accept not a sound for the substance Now I know that Gods light shall unvail all these things unto you that the true truth in the thing may be illustrated for Christ coming is like Fullers-sope or the Refiners fire this I know and have selt and from the true knowledge in me I speak though it be in me and in you a truth in the heart or foul yet that you and I both and all people speak it is 〈◊〉 but Lye in the mouth for in the heart is wrote Digitus Dei that is the finger-writing by God himself you speak what is done and from that true root in the soul yet know your voice is but a sound from the thing and is not the thing and a sound is a Lye and not a substance for t is but a name of and from the thing and not the thing I instance thus a signe or picture of a man is not a man therefore in the true propriety of true speech it is no more nor no less then mans Lye Now to come to the Devil he hath a Trine figurative the celestial Trine temporal as thus the Devil envy and man make up one temporal Trine thus the Spirit in man nay mans spirit is a Devil and the strange birth that is brought forth of Devil-man or Man-devil it is Envy Now that word Orga it is a Caldee word but it is the properest word to hold in truth the coherency but thus this word Orga is envy and this evy is the Devil man in man from man and by man and against man and this is envy in man or the Devil envy man or man-devil Now to come to state the connexion that exhales and draws the conjunction together in this Trine it is thus I beseech you mind Non serte pele esse this is a Latin state though Pele be the ancient Orthodoxal word in the Greek tougue Now the English is thus much Not sure nor certaine being or thus no certaine being not sure this is a strange state but we must have stranger yet before we can find out this Apollyon that hath inbondaged us unto his strange being that is so strange that it hath no

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
but to look into the center I mind not what is said but the true truth is in truth the thing is and now blessed be the Lord my God he doth increase my understanding Now mind I come to shew not what is written but what in your hearts you hold a zeal for the same I ever did since God gave me light and it is this the Scriptures and the Gospel for the defence of them through the strength of my God I would lay down my life for them Now I will show you that in terme that I may say that I and you at this day are so zealous for that is the Scriptures so called now the God that you ignorantly worship him show I unto you and I beseech you take special notice even you that are but notional and you likewise My brethren that are zealous but not according to knowledge as through Gods goodness I shall make appear Non est nome sanktus in re sabat akzi a malet oli in rem medad alphi sele arbat al. The English from this Hebrew state and yet both Latine Greek and Arraback and Caldee all these tongues to make a true harmonious assent in consent But lest you learned Rabbies should contend with me that am unlearned onely English I have and that no man worse but I will give you one hint of knowledge and learning denoted unto me by the Spirit and what spirit let the declaratives of it self speak and the obedience and actions of my life speak forme and so all judge Look you be clean within and then you judge righteous judgement But now Scholars know that the major includes the minor so the major in that state is Hebrew wrote in Kof ק that is the second strength in writing Now let me tell you Schollars I will but state three Hebrew words and I will make their majority carry the state of five lines of Latine stated but they will not carry so much in no tongue for know the nearer you come to the center which is the Hebrew the more you disearet the weak connexions dependancies For know that the Arraback and Caldee and Syrriack and the Muscovite in their original center are as it were in the edge or verdge of the Hebrew Now you will say that the majority of them languages is Hebrew it is granted but write you in any one of them languages it is not Hebrew So though the Hebrew her Regencie be over the languages yet her predominacy may be eclipsed by another tongue when she is but an adjunct in the state or sitation for know that in all tongues and languages there is an union consent and assent in a composed composure in their coherents and the truth flowes from the head to the foot and ascends from the foot to the head as the rivers from the sea to the sea their centred center But this knowledge in truth of knowledge by man is not to be understood and none but the Spirit of God whose conveyances is in and through all tongues into one language that is the scriptum est Now brethren your long patience is your expectation of what is Scripture I beseech you mind I cannot come when I would to open the state or citation out of the tongues though my desire is as great as yours can be ye though I am weary I cannot leave writing the mysterie that lies in the Hebrew state last cited when I thought to have open'd it when I named the english I could never come at it till now non est nome sanklus in re Now I beseech you mind the english of the forecited state The name is not the holy thing now I read negatively The holy thing denyes any name in truth of thing but is and is in truth hath no name Now mind since the world was there was not a greater denotation by the spirit of the truth in God than this Now there is another citation in the same Hebrew state which is this The true Scripture 't is the divine life of God in the soul and it is written by and with Digitus Dei the spirit finger or finger spirit by God O that destroying of it wounds and destroyes sense for according to our Translation digitus Dei the finger of God that word of undoes the state Now I shall show you how your zeal is evacuated and how you come misled concerning that you call the Bible and new Testament calling them the Scriptures or the word of God the Word was made flesh and in that flesh there is a Table and a Book that even that God doth write upon that is Holmess to himself But to come to speak to you brethren even ye blind persecuting Zealots truly I love you all and pity all for ye cannot do right till light be come Brethren I demand of you from whence zeal proceeds if it be true zeal in light it proceeds from that scriptum est that is from that inward and inmost Vail unvailed though you know it not Now know but this that nothing without can give life to your zeal within but it lives in it self and from that small appearance within to the notional man he as he is sees outwardly and he catches at the glimmerings within and through that false conception he states all without upon mans writing or the Signam manum or sign of a mans hand of mans spellings so man not drawn into obedience to the spirit of God within he builds upon outward words and names in books without Now I beseech you mind did any of you receive remission of sins by mans preaching you and I my self did think so thus such a man is a man of God and he is able to turn any man now how was that because Gods power within thee did begin to unfetter thee for it was Gods spirit did begin inwardly to illustrate and thy resurrection and walking was from that light within and thou accounted that it was done by man or hearing or reading here thou wast a greater Idolater then before now here thou sacrificest to man and in this act thou makest and accountest him thy God converter or the Bible or Testament were thy Idols when indeed and in truth it was onely the alone descent of Gods mercy conveyed by his spiritual light arising in thy soul that caused thy awaking from the corruptible estate of death and darkness Now mind I desire to know of you my brethren whether the knowledge doth lye outwardly in objects declared or in the inmost or inward understanding in the spiritus that is in the spirit in that word θ in that import it is a Greek word and it doth denote God his Spirit that is θ spirit and you read it the spirit not understanding the import of the word Now if that be granted that cannot be denyed if duly considered that the understanding lives and lies within the inmost spirit why doth not man act alwaies right and in truth of zeal I answer
Justness in God and such a justness in his declarative written that if one word or letter or tittle in the whole books be not true in word and in truth in time and truth in place it ought to be rejected and refused for know there is no perfection but in God and the spellings or denotation of God must be perfect to a mite nay to it self otherwise we make God a Lyar and an imperfect thing which far be it from us to think so Now to come to close and state a Quere and it is to the great learned ones in all Tongues and Languages if they dare affirm that the Translation of the Bible and the new Testament is truth in all its coherencies and dependancies and in adjuncts and conjuncts and in affinacy and definacy and in reluctancy to a tittle to a mite to it self let them be put to their Oaths in this and when they have done it is not the word of God but the writing by man which is but Signam manum the sign of the hand naming the outward sound from the inward significant Now I Theauraujohn say and affirm that the writing in English cannot hold the truth in Translation from the Hebrew by reason of the weakness in it and the excluding certain letters I know of y and f and q and w and other dubious consonants in consequence that are wholy destructive to the true truth in the signification therefore blessed be the Lord our God that hath sent his Light to reduce you from your Idolizing the shadow or name and by his resurrection in you sheweth you the truth and the true thing which is Christ the Lord the beauty of excellency which is Massah or al or Jehovah Salem ad te Israel arbat Wrote by me Theauraujohn Taniour the Jew Allah al sabbah Skribahjael High-Priest Epistle 16.

God is love and love is light and light is the true guide to God himself thus God is love he let down his loveliness in created appearances he giving light into the soul of man it is guided by that light into the center it came out from which is God himself Now brethren the truest name that Christ can be ciphered out unto the sons of men is this in Hebrew Sabbah oli the English is the whole holy light that is true Christ. Now I will shew you the word that Christ is denoted from and what the word in import will bear and give you the reasons to conduce the proof of what I have laid down Christ in the Greek is Cristos which if truly understood doth denote unto us Light the Hebrew doth hold more full in strength of illustration for nothing can hold with its Original that is no strength to the Original strength for know that from the Original that that is it is but derived from the Original in which lies the glory of that derived The first proof to this is that God is the Original we and the whole creation is but derived from God who is the all of our continuing good and the glory is still in himself and our glory in him he is our Original there is the first Original and his reason rendred The second reason of glory in the Original is this That the derivasi hath its dependancie on the Original it was derived from as Adam the first figure our glory in creation lies in Adam as we are a derivation from that figure that is the outside figure But now I come to the inward spirit that is light or Christ in the soul which is but the same now to prove true light to be true Christ thus Sabah oli apethrat al in re sabie pelma amaret al. The English of this Araback state the whole holy light is in English Christ the whole holy light is Christ that turneth in the whole moving motion in the whole creation this is light Now by this light is denoted Christs other faculty that word doth not bear the state clear but Oukssi to denote the second conjunct in the declaring Christ in his second facultie or oukssi Brethren you must bear with the word though you understand not for I must write every conjunct in truth of word in truth of time in truth of place for my stating one Hebrew word or state doth bind the whole English afore-cited into truth of word time and place But now I come to Christs second facultie or oukssi and I shall cite the first state to prove the second and give you Scripture in affirmation but God must make my named names words to you by writing them upon your souls and that writing of his upon you maketh you and his word one you and I one by the same word and that word drawn into himself we are all one with him as we were at first this is the Gospel in power of the Spirit that must work this effect and when this is so written then mans self ends is departed Christs Throne is erected mans will is wholly subdued to act in love then and not before takes this Commandment his root that is I love my Neighbour as my self for then you that were Neighbours are one in love and love in Christ is the soul and Christ is God Now do not think that I say the soul is Christ but Christ in the soul is light that light is Christ that light in its Original center is very God if Christ be not in you then ye are dead now you read Reprobates which word doth vilifie the intendant as thus dead to day alive in Christ to morrow which the word Reprobate cuts off and excludes in our intention for ever But now I come to prove that light is strength and strength is light and suddenly thus Arab axsi salma avaran anni pethrai radax ab lu sonary The English is The light in strength is God in his creation and the strength in light is God in appearances Or thus God is light that light is strength God is strength that strength is light that light in strength descended into appearances the strength light and life in them appearances is Christ which is the light and life of God which in appearances is Primus maxci that is the first undeniable but in creation Secundus persona I give you that but it is Secundus vita in creationem in re ad id ex in re Now I break your Latine connexions and conjuncts the reason is mans inventions cannot spell nor conjoyn Gods truth for know Gods truth doth confound mans invention and know that Gods truth in no age was revealed but to confound mans invention and when mens invention had wrought a full Babel though they account it Wisdome Strength and Beauty yet then even then when men are concluding their labours are finished and they will enjoy themselves in beholding their work just then and not before comes the stone unhewed and breaks asunder for God never appeared but to confound mans invention that the wise might be caught in their own craftiness England this is thy Motto that is involved in this Motto thy rendings to ruine is even at the door yet I will read you the intent of that you will count contradiction brethren let us walk honestly in things though we differ in names for in doing we are justified and in saying and not in doing are we condemned for know saying gives us notice what we ought to do and saying makes us guilty of not having done But the English to that Latine that is Primus maxci that is the first undeniable in creation he was the First-born and to the Church of the First-born now know life is the first birth and Christ saith I am the life of the world now this is a binding state Now you say Christ is Secundus persona the second Person in creation I say in that state he is not onely Secundus persona as you count but as you in this point I count not for I say Sola Deus inter vara alvah hapsi bene am in re The English is Christ was God alone in creation in the high moving motion that high moving motion is God in union in creating so then una not duo Now I come to Secundus vita in creationem in re ad id ex in re The English is Christ is the second living life in creation that is the second thing in that of the thing and to the thing the lise in the thing that is the life of the creation which lies in these words I am the life of the world there is more in them Latine words cited then ever was demonstrated if truly understood now this state I lay down and do not determine thus whether that the second living life in the whole creation can properly in truth of word be called Person or not God is
Wisdome to the wise and Councel to the foolish ones The simple he will teach in his way and the arogancy of the proud he will contemn Now brethren I would not have you ignorant of what was the glory of the Gospel in the truth of it I tell you that the true Gospel is not onely talkative as mans creation doth give it a being but the true Gospel is active in goodness now this acting goodness must be inquired into and found out what it is and every one be an example unto others acting therein Brethren it is round the definition is strange truly my brethren I say as Peter and Iohn said going into the Temple Such as I have I give unâ—o you But I shall open unto you as the unfoldings are opened unto me the Gospel of Christ is round the acting goodness is and must be round now I shall draw the embleme The world is round the Gospel is round the soul of man is round now all these are in every man and woman under heaven the soul Gospel and the world But the true meaning must be understood First the soul is round else the world and its creation could not hold its figure in competency with it in its adherency The Gospel is round and that holds in competency with the soul but it being last takes the first state and subdues all for minde first a world then man then the Gospel and then comes goodness righteousness from what from neither world nor man but from the Gospel now my brethren this is a strange metaphorical expression but t is a true assertion Now here comes the true decipheration and from this decipheration comes the clear definition Now comes the clear view that brethren you may apprehend every one of your standings whether you are upon the Gospel built or upon mans foundation that is mans defending his actions by the name Gospel and speaking of the spiritual intentions of the Gospel Now mind before the Gospel comes to any know that there is a world and man in this world acting a oneness or an agreeableness in one thus man sees something in the world that hath a seeming beauty unto which his understanding is subdued upon this subdument there is an oneness in love betwixt the worldly things and man the world loves her own that is Christs words Now upon these two yet one comes the Gospel and that doth illustrate into the soul a far greater beauty of loveliness Now here begins mans trouble being wedded to the worldly appearances the present enjoyment holds fast the beams of the Gospel begin to heat both these as man and the world now the Gospel being Gods strength never loses its end My word shall effect the end whereunto it is sent saith the Lord. Now beloved here is the contest begun betwixt the world-man and man-world both being one by reason that the world hath eonquered the understanding of man and so man hath yeelded up his all unto the world for know the world cannot yeeld up unto man because of its majority but man yeelds himself to the world by reason of his minority and smallness of competencie comparatively now upon these two yet one and again two and yet again all made one by the Gospel so then the trine is erected in terra in earth when the Gospel is planted then comes this Motto in truth Thy will be done in earth as it is heaven nay then the will of God is done in earth as it is in heaven which is world-man man-world made obedient to the Gospel But to open their circumferences t is thus The world round the soul of man round the Gospel round thus I prove man word and world all round and all in Trines the greatest mystery that ever was wrote therefore mind First know that God created the round world whose consistance is of earth the influentives of the celestial bodies and the life operation in the sun subâ— Deus under God this is the first trine or the Basis for man now man in his Trine is this soul spirit and body Now I come to show how these Trines in their tinctures hold together First the earth that is Masor orbis the great world now God said as the Text is rendred God made man of the dust of the earth so there is a oneness in the earth and in the body of man now here comes the deceit Every thing loves his own so man must by that rule love the earth he was made on for in every oneness is an entireness loving it self for man and woman being in truth so love one another by reason of the true oneness in them if they be truly one which in truth of description ought to be so much for the body of man and the pondrous or massie body of the earth Now I come to the influences of the celestial bodies and know that they are placed in mans connexions which is millions as in the earth for these celestial bodies hold more the truth of figure then the earthly bodyes can for know the more nearer the spheres you come the more spiritual you must be for let me tell you the descent from them spiritual bodies are the livening living in this gross terrestials so know there is a perfect oneness in the celestial influences thus the influences causes all products in earthly appearances as the spirit of man Now mind I state the soul the first in man the last in God proved thus God made man and breathed in him the breath of life and he became a living soul I beseech you mind Man dies and the spirit or soul returns to God that gave it I pray you mind first man was made and then life was breathed which life was the whole all that erected the fabrick of man the fall of this sabrick or man dying the spirit returns to God that gave it Now mind here is the error know God withdrawing is mans disceasing for mind the Text runs as though man did die and then God did receive that Text gives glory to man and lessens the glory and strength of God for Gods withdrawing in that appearance is the cause of deceasing so let God have his preheminence as Paul saith Let God be true and every man a liar so brethren the truth lies not in names but in things not as they are said to be and reported to be but as they are in the substance and substance hath its center Now brethren the soul is one with the Gospel nay if you can say properly a true soul I will swear that is true word and Gospel for 't is the living life of God in you bringing your natural man to act in obedience into spiritual righteousness declared in life and conversation by distributing acts of mercy and relief to thy own Members that is of Christs body Now what is Christs body temporal I affirm it is the whole creation and in that all men and women Christ saith Love thine enemie love him
