A TESTIMONY Of the TRVE LIGHT Of the WORLD Which is given to every man that comes into the world and of the true measure of the gift of God given to every one to profit withal And a True Witness and Faithful Witnessed of Christ Jesus unto this generation that every one may believe in the Light of the World and receive eternal Life or that every one may be left without excuse by the Light which is the condemnation of all that believe not in it but hates it Wherein all may learn the way of Life or know the condemnation from Life into the pit of Darkness Given forth for the good of all people in pity to all souls by him who is not known to the world but a stranger in it Geo. F●x John 3. He that loves the Light his deeds are wrought in God but he that hates the Light his deeds are evil LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert and sold in his Shop at the black Spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1657. The Preface O Earth the Testimony is true and everlasting which God hath given of the Son and which the Son hath given of the Fath●r and it abides for ever the T●stimony of Life in all that doth believe and the Testimony of Death to all that believe not even the light of the world which lighteth every man that comes into the world the entrance unto eternal life or the condemnation into destruction and who ever turn from the light of the Son of God within them and walks not in it goes into the Error and into the way of Perdition bu● who walks in the light stumbles not because he sees the light of this world Christ Jesus the Author and the Finisher of the Faith and there is no other Saviour then he which was is and is to come the light of the world and who-ever preaches a Christ to beli●ve in for salvation who hath not lighted every man with the true light preaches a false Christ and not that Christ which the Prophets and John bore witness of and which the Apostles witnessed So that this is truth from the Lord God there is no o●her name given for salvation but the name of Jesus nor there is no other Christ Jesus but he which lighteth every man that comes into the world with the true light and except this Christ Iesus be revealed by the spirit of the Father within salvation is not received by him Therefore all friends who have received the t●stimony of the light of the Son of God within you and have believed the report of the Father and of the Son hold f●st the word of that Testimony and dwell in it and walk in it up to the Father of light and life and this is the power of God in which you will be kept unto the day of salvation and this is the power of God which will keep you from all unrighteousness and so from condemnation and if any turn from the light they run into the evil and backslides from the Truth and such shall bear their own shame and condemnation in the sight of God and all his children For this is the message which was and is that God is light and in him is no darkness at all All that dwels in the light their habitation is in God and they know a hiding place in the day of storm and they that dwell in the light are built upon the rock and cannot be moved for who are moved or shaken goes from the light and so goes from their strength and from the power of God and loses the peace and the enjoyment of the presence of God for the light is the eye by which Gods presence is seen and felt and all that ever com●s to the knowledge of God must own the light which Christ hath lighted them withal for there is no other way to the Father of life And this is the testimony which in the power of the Lord hath been born and given through Nations by his servants and the day of your visitation is upon you Nations and Peoples and hitherto the Father hath wrought and the Son hath wrought and the voice of Wisdom hath been heard but the night cometh when no man can work and all that have not received the witn●ss which God hath given concerning this Son and all that goes from the testimony of the light within and continues not therein unto the end they shall be given up to fulfil the measure of Iniquity and to run their race in the way to perdition till they be sealed in the pit of darkness and condemnation where there is no repentance and the Lord God Almighty is clear from all their blood and their blood be upon their own head for ever because they hate the light and believes not in it nor continues not unto the end to walk therein And this is the testimony which is given to me to testifie who is not of this wrrld but a servant to him whose Testimony never changeth which is light London 1st of the 11. mon. 1656. 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

man that cometh into the world him by whom it was made these knew not the Scriptures that believe not in the light though they have them read among them every first day as the Jews had them read among th●m every Sabbath day yet knew not the voice of the Prophets nor of God nor of his Son so now all these in this age that have the Scriptures read among them every first day and believeth not in the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world seeth not Christ Jesus the same to day yesterday and for ever him by whom the world was made who was glorified with the Father before the world began which the children of the light which believe in the light that enlightneth every man that cometh into the world whose food is the bread of life that cometh from above whose water is the water of life which knows the living springs these comes to know the Scriptures the Prophets words declared from the light the fulfilling of them C●rists words declared from the light and the fulfilling of them and the Apostles words declared forth from the life and the fulfilling of them and these that be in the light believe in the light have unity in the light from which declared forth the Word was and unity with the words which declared forth from the light was and to them are reconciled but they that believe not in the light which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world they be all on heaps and strife about the Prophets words Christs words and the Apostles words which was dec●ared forth from the light they that b●lieve not in the light the greatest students upon the earth disputers understandings and knowers in their own knowledge knoweth not he Scrip ures nor are not reconciled to them which believe not in the light wh ch lighteth every man that cometh into the world these are the blind guides in these our days was and is in all ages such as believeth not in the light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world and they are in the disputings and strife and contention being in the contention about the words declared from the light the Scriptures the words of Christ the Prophets and the Apostles so being in the dark not believing in the light which enl●ghtneth every one that cometh inro the world there 's the stumbling and there 's the persecuter which was ever blind which stumbles at the light which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world which is the way every man that have light from the way and the light is the truth which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe And here is the truth in the inward parts so all you stumbling at the l●ght you stumble at the way and you stumble at the truth and you stumble at the life in him was light that lighteth every one that cometh into the world and the light is the life of m●n now is it not appearing and doth it not appear among all the wise of the earth in their own wisdom such as profess the Scriptures declared from the light and believeth not in the light which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world how they confound one another Yea the Doctors and great learned Rabbies the great knowing men the great un●ersta●ders such as believe not in the light how they confound one another and one anothers meanings they do get that are blind to the Scriptures Is it not apparent among you all beholders Now such as believe in the light shall not be condemned Mark and these become children of the light and Christ gives them an understanding who is the wisdom of God and they grow up in the knowledge of Christ Jesus who hath the Treasury of Wisdom and Knowledge these com●rehend the world and their knowledge wisdom and un●erstanding which believe not in the light with which light is all condensed and confounded in which light the children of light believing which was glorified with the Father before the world began which is not natural but spiritual not created but that by which all things was created and these that are here raigns over the world and witnesseth him by whom it was made and treads all the other which believes not in the light which is out of the light under foot as unsavoury under foot of man these are the light of the world these are the salt of the earth Them that hold up Synagogues Temple changeable Priesthood that took Tythes did not believe in the second Priest the light which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world the unchangeable Priest after the order of Melchisedech this was in the days of the Pharisees chief Priests in the days of Christ in the flesh then and these withstood the light that did enlighten every men that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe Now in our dayes and age such as holds up the priests which take Tythes and hath Temple and Synagogue and the chief place in the Assembly as the pharisees had which was in the transgression out of the life of the Scriptures which Christ cryed woe against these now in this age doth not believe in the light which doth enlighten every man that cōeth into the world as the Pharisees and chief Priests did not these I say that takes tithes and holds up the Priests with tithes that hath the Synagogue Temple the chiefest place in the assembly which wo Christ cryed against these believe not in him in that Christ which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe who are to believe in the light according to Christ command and are to learn of him according to Gods command of Christ the light which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world every man is to hear him every man is to learn of him hear him saith God this is my beloved Son hear ye him every man who heareth the light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened him withall he heareth Christ who saith learn of me I am the way the truth and the life and no man cometh to the way but by me who was glorified with the Father before the world began now all the students in the world which stand against the light such as hold up Synagogue Temple and carnal worship and observes dayes and times calls the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world an natural light or the checks of an natural conscience or a created light the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world by whom it was made and all things created nothing that was created but was created by him Mark by him and was before it was created which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe so these which are holding up Temple Synagogues Tithes and Priest

hearts Now you that are stumbling at the light how far short are you of this sure word of Prophesie as a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawning and the day-star arising in the heart 2 Pet. 1. and are not you judging before the time and the Lord will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsel of the heart you that are judging and stumbling at the light are you not found in this condition 1 Cor. 4. and the Sun and the Moon praiseth the Lord and the Stars of light which was made by Christ and you that are standing against salvation Christ Jesus that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that calls this ligh● this salvation a natural light you have not yet seen your selves to be that woman that lighteth a candle to sweep the house and hath found the piece of silver Luke 15. so the Teachers that doth deny the light Christ that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world you are the Ministers of Satan that transforms themselves into an Angel of light 2 Cor. 11. and so you that do deny the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world you l●ghtly esteem the Rock of your salvation which doth enlightlighten every man that cometh into the world Deut. 31. but you are them that lay the h●avie burdens upon the people which makes them haavier not lighter then your fathers as you may read 2 Chron. 10. 1 Kings 12. and see what burdens they laid upon the just they that did transgress but when you come to see the Ang●l come down from heaven that lightens the earth with his glory then shall you know the fall of Babylon then may you come to see the light that lightness every one that cometh into the world Rev. 18. but all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light awake thou that sleepeth and arise from the dead and Christ will give thee light so they that sleep sleep in the night he th●t comes to the day he comes to Christ he is awakened and risen from the dead and witnesseth Christ light he hath enlightned him withal he is arisen from the dead and he is awakened and he sleeps not he is out of sleep and among whom you shine as lights in the world the children of the light that are in the light that doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world they are in Christ these shines as lights in the world these are converted answering the light in every one Phil. 2. 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

that takes them which are professing the Scriptures declared forth from the light not believing in it but making a trade of the words disputing contending and are in strife about them the light in the dark about the words that came from the light the holy Scriptures that were given forth to be read Mark to be believed in to be practised for Moses and the Prophets they was in the light they spake forth the Scriptures from the light and they spake them forth to be fulfilled and what they wrote they wrote to be fulfilled and Christ Jesus the light came to fulfil what was wrote of him and they saw Moses and the Prophets saw what must come to fulfil their words Christ Jesus which did come to fulfil their words and the Jews that were out of the light saw not Christ when he was come to fulfil Moses and the Prophets words the Jews professed and the Apostles who witnessed Christ and the Disciples who was come to fulfil what was written of him they shewed to the Jews Pharisees and to the great wise Professors great knowing men who professed Moses and the Prophets that a Mes ia● was to come they being out of the light they shewed unto them that Jesus was the Christ out of M●s●s and the Prophets which they professed but did not believe in the light so they shewed the fulfilling of the Prophets and the fulfilling of Moses words and preached to them him that was come which did fulfil them which they that did believe in the light come to see the second Priest-hood who turned were from the first Priest-hood Temple Synagogue Priest-hood that took Tiths But them that did not believe in the light stumbled at the Apostles words and stumbled at the light which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world these Builders rejected the ●orner-stone and counted themselves unworthy of e●ernal life and though they professed Moses and the Prophets words but believed not in the light as all our Professors and Priests of the world in our dayes which believeth not in the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world judging themselves unworthy of eternal life yet professing Moses Christ and the Apostles words but seeth not the fulfilling of Moses and the Prophets nor Christs words and Apostles words such as be out of the light that believes not in it these are now haling out of the Synagogue prisoning and beating and persecuting that believe not in the light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world as the Jews did out of their Temple which prisoned and persecuted as those do and haled before Magistrates which fulfil choise words they that did so believed not in the light but were out of the light and so they know not the Son nor the Father take notice of this all priests and people who are haling now out of the Synagogues who are the generation that are fulfilling Christs words that the righteous blood may come upon you all But the Lamb hath gotten the victory and the Saints sings over you all them that be out of the light be out of truth which answers light and truth in every man which is the condemnation of all that are out of the light and hate it and this is the word of the Lord God to you and all that sees the light sees their salvation they that believe in the light and in that do dwell which condemn all the world and none cometh to everlasting life but who cometh to the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world who is the life and as every man cometh to the light which he is enlightened withal he cometh to the life of man and he cometh to the way to the Father which no man cometh to the way to the Father but who cometh to the light which enlighteneth him and every one that cometh into the world by which light all things were made and none cometh to truth but who cometh to the light which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world him by whom the world was made glorified with the Father before the world began and no man cometh to the glorious Gospel which is the Image of God but who cometh to the light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world and no man receiveth the power to become the Sons of God but who receiveth the light which cometh from Christ which is the power of God who doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world him by whom it was made nor no man cometh to the truth in the inward parts but such as cometh to the light which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world him by whom it was made who doth enligh●en every man that cometh into the world who is the truth in the inward parts there is it to be heard found seen and received with that is Christ the mistery the light seen with the light which comes from him which is the truth in the inward parts with this is the Kingdom of God seen which hath no end and here is the light of the Gospel known which is the Image of God with this is the God of this World seen with the light which comes from him which was glorified with the Father before the world began Take notice of this all ye children of light and all they that do withstand the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world him by whom it was made glorified with the Father before the world began they do withstand the way for every one coming into the world having a light that comes from the way le ts him see the way and a light from the life lets him see the life and a light from the truth lets him see the truth and a light from the word lets him see the words and lets him see the word that was in the beginning before the world was this light from the way to the Father with which they know the way to the Father into the Kingdom of God where there is no shadow a light from him which was glorified with the Father before the World began which light shining in the heart gives them the light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ and this is the treasure in earthen vessels now every man having a light from the truth which is the Christ which is the way to the Father the God of all truth here you need not go forth to ask where you shall find truth for it is in your inward parts and as that teacheth you and you abide in it you continue in the Son and in the Father from whence it comes and every man having a light from Christ who is the light with which light hee will see him that comes from him which light leads to him that he may believe in him he shall not come into condemnation he need not to say lo here is Christ lo there 's Christ he that believeth in the light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world now every man believing in the light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world with which they be lighted withal here 's the true belief then they believe in Christ who is the light Mark in him for the Pharisees believed had the letter who did not believe in the light so was blind so are all now who do not believe in the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world therefore they that do not believe in the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the World that they might believe through him But talkes of a belief because the Scriptures declares and believes not in the light they believe not in the truth the devils which be out of the light which is the truth can talk of the Scriptures as well as all the World which is out of the light out of truth which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe they that withstand the light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world withstands the way and they that stumble at it stumble at the way and they that stumble at the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world they stumble at truth and they know not Christ which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world and Priest and people knows not John the messenger of Christ sent from God to bear witness to this true light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world who suffered death by the powers of the earth for bearing his righteous testimony against the unrighteous and the powers of the earth and the great Rabbies standeth against them now and doth cast them into prison that are the witnesses of this light this true light that doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world that all men through him might believe who is the Son of God and against this light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world the powers of the earth and the rulers of the earth and the chief Priests gathered Councels together against who lighted every man that cometh into the world him by whom it was made and so all they that are stumbling at the light which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world which is the Covenant of God the Covenant of light they are stumbling at the Covenant and all them And those that keep people from the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world keep people from the Covenant of God the Covenant of light the Covenant of life the Covenant of peace and to you this is the word of the Lord God and every man coming into the world being enlightened with the Covenant of light he loving the light and receiving the light he receives the Covenant but hating the light he goes into the evil deeds and this is the light doth make them manifest and this his condemnation that hates it the light and not believing in it and this the lig●● 〈◊〉 torments the evil doer and reprooves him and m●●e● manifest his wayes and deeds and this is the light that makes manifest him that abode not in truth that speaks a lie that 's from the truth from the light with the light condemned which answers the light in every mans conscience so this is the word of the Lord God Given forth in Lanson Castle G.
