to be accounted his Disciples We have many men-pleasers at this day which makes the World go so and so little restoring light otherwise provided it need not be so but while plain Paul preached general Doctrine to the unreformed Jewes and Pharisees they were pleased in that way of Teaching It was related by some of them They could have plucked out their eyes to have done him good But when he stood up for a primitive power which was that disciplying Church according to our Saviours appointment this being too good a doctrine for them to follow and could not endure so righteous an act and therefore they railed on him and caused him to complain saying To did run well who did hinder you that ye did not obey the truth I am jealous over you with a godly jealousie I have espoused you to one husband that I might present you as a choice Virgin to Christ but I fear as the Serpent beguilded Eve by his subtilty so your minds may be corrupted from the sincerity of Christ and so throw off your confidence in God But take heed all you unjust persons for I will come neer ye saith the Lord and will judge all your ungodliness I will purge your Camps and your Ordinances too and will search ye out in every condition behold I will do a new thing in the earth that all the despisers may wonder at God and behold his coming here is an indictment to you all both high and low to prepare the way of the Lord and to see him coming behold he cometh with clouds of Witnesses and they that have pierced him shall wail and weep before him for I will be a swift Witness against you and will try you as gold and silver is tryed that ye may bring a pure offering in righteousness And the Lord complaineth in divers places of the Scripture saying Ye bring unto me vain obligations and ye have changed my ordinances and trod down my sanctuary and made ordinances to your selves but my house lies desolate and not one Restorer of my Temple but every man goes on in a broken Church-way and your foundation shall all be scattered and you shall lay hold on him that is a Jew saying We will go with thee and that must be your calling Esay 55.4 Behold I have given him for a Leader and a Commander to the people Then follow your Leader for Judah shall shall gather the people Christ Jesus will have you all come into his own Tribe Judah for he cometh and who may abide his appearing if he come on a white horse who can behold his brightness if he come on a red horse who shall stay his hand from bloud or when he cometh on a pale horse who shall keep Death from their Windows I desire and beseech you to lay to heart all his appearances and move your selves to mourn with your Families and every family apart looking to the Center saying to one another Let us go seek the Lord that others may say I will go also Looking to see great inlargments of spiritual comfort in these last times and that his Kingly power shall pierce the Clouds and shine in all the dark corners of the earth and all the Nations shall submit to his Kingly power when it appeareth and no creature shall withstand God when he shall purge and purifie the earth with his refining fire when the Sun shall lose her light and the Moon be turned into bloud Then who may abide his appearing Look to it Watch and pray for he will suddenly come to his Temple The Covenant Brethren and Friends THis is the new and last Covenant which the Lord Jebovah the Fountain of our peace and Well-spring of immortality which he the Lord promised to the seed of Adam Abraham Isaac and Jacob saying in Deut. 4.31 I will n●t forsake thee neither forget the Covenant of thy Fathers which 〈◊〉 ●w●re to them This Covenant is a holy tie from and under th● God of Israel which is a feee gift to all and singular that be 〈◊〉 the inward Court and it is an engagement to all that be of the outward house or court This is the Record of God that three in Heaven shall bear the Unity and three on Earth shall bear Record the Spirit the Word and three persons which shall make up one Testimony in Unity with one heart and one profession which shall bring us all into one and one King shall be King to us all that we may dwel in the Land that he hath sworn to Jacob his servant to give it him for us and inheritance where our fathers dwelt in and their childrens children for ever And in this we are Testators in his new Covenant and as our Lord about his suffering said It is finished Even so must we finish our testimony to hazard our lives saying For thy sake we are killed all the day long and are accounted as sheep for the slaughter Therefore let us and all the inhabitants of the earth come in to crown this honorable Work to rebuild Gods house as he hath spoken Jer. 50.4 5. saying Israel and Judah shall come together saying Come and let us joyn our selves unto the Lord in a perpetual Covenant that shall never be forgotten And this Covenant we must enter into this day A remarkable place we find in Neh. 10.28 29. where he saith All of understanding cleave to their Brethren and their Nobles and entred into a course and into an Oath to walk in the Law of God which was given by Moses Now their Names that sealed the Covenant ye shall find from the first verse to the 27. To confirm this work to our sight more cleerly Josh 24.25 26. So Joshua made a covenant that day and Joshua wrote those words in a book and took up a great stone and set it under an Oak that was neer the Sanctuary of the Lord and Joshua said to all the people behold this stone shall be a Witness to us for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us and it shall be a Witness unto you lest ye deny your God So Joshuah let the people depart every man to his inheritance Our Consent THis is Our grand Consent from the Lord and the course we and all the Nations must take to joyn and consent all in one Discipled Church to bring in all such believing persons as shall cast up or resign up all to ingage themselves for this Temple-work of the Lord Christ Jesus and all such as shall or can be deemed godly persons proving them so effectually in this we are bound by the love and mercy of God to bring them into our Temple-work if it be their desire and the person or persons being thus qualified with divine Grace meet for so high an Office thereunto we ought with care and expedition to receive and disciple them in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost saying We incorporate thee into the bosome of
