As also, Judahs past, with Englands present miseries parallel'd; with sundry other particulars, very profitable and necessary for Christians of all degrees, to know the mysteries of God. Collected out of the Scriptures this 22. of the 11th moneth (corruptly called January) 1647. for the benefit of all, but chiefly for such, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, err in vision, and stumble in judgement.

eternal purpose in Christ Jesus whereby he hath made them heires of glory yea joynt heires with Christ to be glorified together with him Whose spirit beareth witness to our spirits that we are the Children of God the Father and heires with Christ who is the Ordained God and Lord over all blessed for ever He came out of the mouth of the most high God the Father and so is he the word of God For the Creator of all things gave him a Commandment and ordained his tabernacle or personall presence to rest Saying to him let there be a firmament and let thy dwelling be in Jacob and thine inheritance in Israel Yea he came forth as a brook from a river for he the Father created him the beginning and he shall never faile and thus is he established in Zion in the beloved City Jerusalem is his rest and power being the portion of his inheritance Where he the word the life the way the truth the righteo●sness and the l●ght is by the Father decreed to dwell in g●ory with all his saints for ever There is also a word which is called upon with death who is called darknes hell falshood vanity unrighteousness wrath destroyer Sathan wickedness God grant it be not found in the heritage of Jacob the Saviour But this word was found in Jacob or Judah when they renounced the word of life and glory Christ saying we have no King but Caesar and his blood be on us and our Children Then spake he unto them in or by this word of darkness his wrath the divel and vexed them in his sore displeasure for they were given up by God the Father to him the wrath therefore said to be of their Father the divel the destroyer For as God or goodness is set by the Father against evill the divell light against darkness mercy against wrath life against death the Saviour against the destroyer even so is the Godly against the Sinner and the Sinner against the Godly Even so also look upon the works of the most high God the Father and there are ●wo Christ and Belial the accepted and the rejected and their two works are one against the other The ways of Righteousness are plain and easy to the righte●us but his commands are stumbling blocks to the wicked And for the Children of Righteousness are good things created or decreed by the father in the or this sacred beginning Even life eternall in glory but for the sinners or the Children of the disobedient one or evill things created or decreed even eternall being in the land of horrour drought and darkness for ever with their Father the divell for the wrath of God is revealed now but shall then be manifest Called Principalities Powers Hosts Ministers that at the Almighty's pleasure on his works yea powers of darkness Beelzebub that act by fire famine sword and pestilence punishing the wicked to destruction and boasting themselves in mischief and destruction whose nature and property is cruelty and destruction therefore stiled a roaring Lyon the destroyer but not the Saviour Christ whose nature and property is mercy and preservation and therefore is he stiled the preserver of men yea the Oracle or mouth of God the Father Thus you see that all things are double or decreed for a double use one against the other some for the light to abide in glory and some for the darkness Beelzebub to abide for ever in darkness For all that obey or do his will shall reap perdition but they that walk in the light and are Children of the light shall inherit the land or earth of glory and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace Thou wilt say why doth he then complain for who hath or doth resist his will for can I do any other then I am lead forth unto or made to do But O man who art thou which pleadeth or speaketh against God thy maker for shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it why hast thou made me thus hath not thee Potter power of one lump to make one vessell to honour or for the acting of the spirit of honour and glory Christ Jesus and another to dishonour or for the acting of the spirit of dishonour and reprobation Beelzebub what and if God will to manifest wrath and to make his the sdivels elotted or meated out power known to the Creature uffer the vessels of wrath prepared or decreed to destruction to act the will and works of wrath and that he might also declare the riches and power of his glory for Christ is the glory and power of God unto salvation upon the vessels of his mercy Christ the mercy of God which he hath prepared or decreed unto glory to act the works of mercy here for glory hereafter For if thou be determined for glory and the vessell or body be filled at present with the Spirit of glory truth and righteousness Christ Jesus then shalt thou act and be led forth to the works of glory truth and Righteousness For the meanes shall never be wanting that drives on to the end of the Fathers decree But if thou remaine under the power and guidance of the spirit of darkness then canst thou do none other works then the works of darkness and then thou wilt apprehend the word works and actings of Christ in his vessels of honour called saints to be ridiculous and foolishness for he that is not for Christ is against him But wo unto him that striveth with this his maker Christ Jesus the Lord of life and glory for this maker the Lord our Righteousness is the husband or bridegroome to the Saints and he will marry them unto himself in Righteousness and glory everlasting for he will give unto them salvation in Zion O therefore say not thou it is through the Lord Christ my maker that I perish for he causeth me to err for who dare say unto him what hast thou done or who dare stand against his Judgement to whom all power is given by the Father both in heaven and earth or who dare accuse him for the nations that perish whom he hath made or who dare stand against him to revenge the cause of the wicked that are by him cast off or rejected therefore happy yea thrise happy are all they that are possessed and guided by this sacred spirit wisdom For she was created or produced by the Father before all things she hath built her everlasting foundations with men and is given by the rather to be with their seed in glory for ever For all such as band themselves against Jehovah and against his anointed power for 〈◊〉 are described and known to be disobedient men of this earth or world of darkness guided by the rebellious spirit of wrath darkness and enemies to the obedient spirit of sight life and determined glory to the elect and obedient

ma the God of all flesh the former and maker of all things and the Saviour of the body yea the Lord God maker of heaven and earth for thy maker is thine husband the Lord of host is his name thy redeemer the holy one of Israel the God of the whole earth shall he be called but he is not now so called by the men of this world nor by his own chosen people the Jews who do now daily deride him and call him the impostor and crucified God of the Gentiles Lo thus you see that the Father is the most high invisible and incomprehensible God and Father of all spirits Creator of all things of whom are all things and Christ is the visible Lord God the beloved Son the former and maker of all things into external form and shape being by whom are all things and thus are we Christs and Christ is Gods For he that is our God is the God of Salvation Christ or of the elect and not Lucifer the God of damnation or of the reprobates and unto God the Lord Christ belong the Issues from death Hell and Damnation Be●lzebub O the depth and power of Christ the wisdom of God!
