and removing and defacing and taking the glory to himself and the honor to whom it belongs and the fear to whom it belongs Therefore boast not your selves none but be watchful and meek and learn the true humility which goeth before the honor and the true patience which obtains the Crown of eternal life and the immortal life through the patience received Now in Causes of Judgements in Controversies with patience hear each party the Accused the Accuser the Offended and the Offendor with meekness and humbleness hear that goes before the Honor for it is an honor for a King to find out a matter and to search it out And let not there be an eye among you nor in any of you nor an ear that will respect persons or have persons respected for in such causes there will be a will that will be brickle earthly changeable wanting the patience to judge rightly selfish and stubbornnese and prejudice and sidings to parties more then to Truth and right judgement is blinded in these and the true Measure is wanting and the true Weight to weigh withall and to measure withall Whilest there is prejudice in the Officer Judge Justice or Ruler whilest he is passionate out of the humbleness and humility out of the mercy out of the patience in the wilfulness in the stubbornness sturdines high mindedness minding the person respecting under this doth the just groan under this doth the just feel the weight which feels the want of the true measure and cryes for the true measure and cryes for the true weight and puts up Petitions to the Lord who hears and answers the cryes of the oppressed and removeth the Oppressor and brings him to shame and contempt though for a time he hath a day of honor and glory but such the Lord of glory their dayes doth shorten often in turning them out and cutting them off bringing his righteous judgements upon them who rightly hath not judged such God measures their wayes God gives to them measure and just weight according to their works Therefore all ye Rulers of the earth be awakened with the measure of God be awakened to righteousness and to the measure of God in you all take heed to guide your minds up to God whereby ye may stand all in Gods Counsel to receive that from God which shall never be shaken whereby with it you may answer that of God in every man and be to the Lord a praise and a terror to the Nations about you for true Judgment and Justice being set up and being in the hands of such that hath the true measure to reach that of God in every man that of God in every man shal answer his measure and having the true weight to weigh things aright that of God in every man shall witness his weight to be just and true and not too light and his measure not too short he gives to every man his due and every m●n his weight here is the equity here the righteous is glad the righteous rejoicetth the evil doer that reigns which is a terror to it From the Lord God of Heaven and Earth I am moved to charge all to be meek to be humble to be patient and not to be rash nor to be heady nor to be fierce but to be gentle and fear before the Lord God whereby ye may receive his wisdom that in all Countreys where ye come where ye are Judges Justices Rulers and Magistrates ye may be a praise in the Country where ye are and where ye come and a good savour to the Lord God answering that of God in every man which will exercise your conscience towards God and towards man which is for conscience sake and not for wrath that all may come subject to the Higher Power mark the Higher Power which is above that Power which abode not in the truth but is out of the truth out of the life which is the light and that is the Powers of Darkness and there is the spiritual wickedness and there is the Rulers of Darkness out of the truth which is out of the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world the light which every man is enlightned withal that cometh into the world will witness to him the higher Power which is a terror to him if he do evil And so ye all knowing and coming into the higher power to which the soul must be subject unto ye that are come to this ye are in that that is above the spiritual wickednesses that is above the Rulers of darkness of this world ye come to be on top of all the world in the whole world ye will be a dread and terror to all the world ye will be the Higher Power ye will reach over Nations Tongues People Kinreds and Languages and so sound a dread and terror over them all ye which be in the higher Power higher then the POWERS of DARKNESSE Higher then the spirituall wickednesses higher then all the Heathenish gods and Rulers higher then the Rulers of darkness in the highest places of the world this is higher the higher Power is above the world and them all on top of them all and chains them all and answers that of God in all the fashion of it the lusts of it which wars against the soul mark which against the soul wars which soul must be subject to the higher Power which higher Power goes against the lusts of the world of the flesh that against the soul wars Therefore whose soul soever is subject to the higher power above the power of him that abode not in the truth none of them that be here do the lusts of the Devil that 's out of the truth but they are in the Power above him the higher power which chains overturns brings down brings under puts down all the powers of darkness the spiritual wickedness Who are in this higher Power they are in the Throne of God and they be in that which is honorable and in that which doth remain they be in that which limits and stops and sets bars to that which is out of the higher Power which comes under the chain the bridle the yoke the gage the rule which would destroy devour tear to pieces the higher power over that hath Dominion and all that which wars against the soul to which the soul must be subject to and where this rules there is peace and the burden is taken off the innocent rejoiceth the simplicity is glad the righteous praiseth God and magnifies him where this rules and where this rules such as be in it they know the kingdom of the Most High tuling in men and his Dominion which hath no end and his Scepter of Righteousness his Throne is exalted the Kingdom where there is no end is known seen enjoyed who be in this are in the honorable power throne Dominion which hath no end which moves throws down shakes all the contrary which Power reacheth to the seed of God
