leading them into Sin which hath seperated them from him and with-holden his Blessings from them that so again they may be a Free People as it was in the beginning before Transgression was And this is the Glorious Liberty of the Sons and Daughters of God which Christ did restore many into in the Apostles dayes which Work he is now Gloriously carrying on in these our dayes Glory yea Glory be unto the Lord our God forever for the same For now the Children of the Lord are taught by him and his Sons and Daughters are led by his Spirit into all Truth and the Peace of all such is plentiful as a
