Sinne kept out of the Kingdome ALL Professors and People consider where you are and from whence you are fallen you that plead 〈◊〉 and say none can be set free from sin while they are in the world you plead for a Hold for Satan in you while you are here and where will you have him cast out or what fellowship can you have with God so long as the Serpent is Head in you 1 Ioh. 1.3 you are seperated from God and knows him not for what communion hath light with darknesse 2 Cor. 6.14 God is light and he that dwels in God dwels in light and in him is no darknesse at all but while you live in sin you are in darknesse and the god of this world hath blinded your eyes that you cannot see it 2 Cor. 4.4 you are led captive at his will to serve him and you are willing to be so and you do not beleeve that ever you shall be otherwise you are servants to sin and you take pleasure in it you are in the flesh and sin and have made a covenant with Hell and darknesse and death You are resolved to serve and please the flesh while you live and you will repent at your death you have forgot that your times are in the Hand of the Lord Heb 3.7 8 and that this is the day of grace and repentance which you turn into lasciviousnesse and wantonnesse you make it plainly appear you have your lustfull pleasures wantonnesse and filthinesse and love them more then God You that love the world and the things of the world the love of the Father is not in you 1 Ioh. 2.15 and 16. for whom you love him will you follow Christ saith If you love me Ioh. 14.6 keep my commands and those that follow him he leads them out of all the wayes of sin into the wayes of puritie and holinesse Hab. 1.19 and so he is the way to the father For without holinesse none can ever see God for he is of purer eyes then to behold iniquitie Ephe. 2.2 neither can any unclean thing come in his sight But while you are following the Prince of the Aire which ruleth in the Children of disobedience bringing forth fruits of sinne and unrighteousnesse having your conversation in the earth and earthly things following your corrupt wills and pleasures an● yet you will professe you love God and own him in words and the Devill in practice Oh horrible hypocrisie shall not the righteous God finde you out and reward you according to your works Mat. 16.27 you cannot deceive him you deceive your selves who think to be Heirs of two Kingdoms you will have the pleasures of sin here and you say you hope to be Heirs of the Kingdome of Heaven too but the hope of the Hypocrite shall perish remember thy father Dives in whose steps thou walkest and the same way leads to the same end The Lord saith that the wicked shall be turned into Hell Psal 9.17 and all that forgets God But the deceit in thee sayes That thou maist live in sinne while thou art here and have thy thoughts in the world and yet thou shalt enter into the Kingdome of Heaven too Now who must be the Lyar whether God or thou O vain man was it not sin that separated God and man at the first Gen. 1.27 and thinke thou to be reconciled again so long as sin stands in thee Ma●… was not created in sin Gen. 2.19 20 but pure and holy in the Image of God and while he stood here he had communion with God Gen. 3.24 and ha● the pure wisdome of God Gen. 3.17 by which he was able to see into the wonders of God and to give Names unto all Creatures but so soon as he had committed sin he was stript of all this and became naked and was thrust out of Paradice and was curse from the Lord yea the ground was cursed for his sake and all this because of sin which thou thinkest so light of for odious is sin in the pure eyes of the Holy God and didst thou but know thy condition as thou lyest in sin in thy first birth a Child of wrath and one to whom all the Curses in the Book of God are due thou wouldest tremble at sinne and not plead for it wherein thou plainly shewest thy self to be the servant of the Devill And when thou thus abusest the goodness of God 1 Cor. 10 ●… to the 11. that having left the failings of others upon Record as warnings to all that come after not to doe the like and these thou makest use of to incourage thee in thy sin and filthinesse and because God is mercifull to pardon sinners at what time soever they repent therefore thou art incouraged to live in sin the longer unrepented of Now all that have eyes in their heads may plainly see whose Child thou art for the Apostle saith Know ye not that the long-suffering of God and forbearing leads to repentance it doth so to the Children of God Rom. 2.4 but that Scripture is fulfilled in thee which saith Eccles 8.11 Because judgement is not speedily executed on the wicked therefore his heart is set in him to do wickednesse and thus thou makest the mercy of God a Cloak for thy unrighteous actions and yet thou wilt talk of a Redeemer and of faith in Christ but O friend where is thy Redeemer witnessed while thou art yet in thy sins what art thou redeemed from or what art thou redeemed to those that are redeemed are set free from the sevitude of sin Iohn 8.24 25 26. but thou servest sinne so long as thou obeyest the motions of it then where is thy freedome Canst thou witnesse Christ dyed for thee and thy sins still alive how wilt thou witnesse his death in thee or thy self dead with him the Saints that were dead with Christ were dead to sin Rom. 6.2 and saith Paul How can you that are dead to sinne live any longer therein and saith also Those that are dead with Christ are free from sin and are become servants of righteousnesse again he saith Rom. 6.22 23 Now being made free from sin and become servants of God ye have your fruits unto holinesse and the end thereof eternall life But while thou livest in sin thy fruits are unholy and the end thereof is death and then where is thy redemption They who are redeemed by Christ are redeemed from earth and earthly things Revel 5.9 10 unto God again from whence they had fallen out of every Tongue Kinred People and Nation and are made unto God Kings and Preists to reign above sin on the earth and are made conformable to his Image again which was lost by sin but what conformitie is there in thee while thou art in sin thou art not like him but like the Devill for every sin is the image of the Devill who sinned from the beginning and while thou committest sin thou holdest forth the image of the Devill in thee who is thy father and Christ told the Scribes and Pharisees Ioh. 8.44 who professed to be the Children of God but lived in sin that they were of their father the Devill for his works they would do for every sin is the work of the Devill 1 Ioh. 3.8 and saith Iohn He that commits sin is of the Devill and saith For this purpose was the Son of God manifested to destroy the works of the Devill Whosoever can witnesse Christ manifested in them can witnesse sin destroyed but if thou say thou canst witnesse Christ manifest in thee and yet commit sin thou art a Lyar for the Scripture saith whosoever abideth in him sinneth not whosoever sinneth hath not seen him neither known him 1 Ioh. 3. ● and whosoever saith he knows him and keepeth not his commandements is a Lyar and the truth is not in him and saith the holy Ghost whosoever is born of God sinneth not 1 Ioh. 2.4 but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself and the wicked one toucheth him not and saith again that whosoever is born of God sinneth not for his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God 1 Ioh. 3. ● 10 and saith plainly In this are the Children of God manifest and the Children of the Devill whosoever doth not righteousnesse is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother Gen. 13.14 God in all ages hath known his by their obedience but thou sayest thou mayest live in disobedience and yet bee counted one of his too but where is thy Mark by which thou art known from the world those that are Gods are marked and known from the world Rev. 7.3.4 but thou art in love with the world and canst conform with them in all their wayes words works and worships Iam. 4.4 and yet would be counted one of Gods too O thou deceiver thou deceivest but thy self and men that are like thee for thou canst not deceive the Lord. Tike heed repent halt no longer between God and the world if thou wouldest own GOD Rev. 3 1● thou must disown the world and the world will disown thee thou caust not have both Written by James Nailer late prisoner in Appleby Castle by the dark world called a Quaker
