the light Now where God hath commanded the light to shine out of darkness Mark out of darkness such are come to be turned from the darkness to the light such witnesseth conversion and the Image of God shines in them But the other the darkness cannot comprehend it Acts 26. that Christ should suffer and rise again and shew light to the people and to the Gentiles and this was the Apostles confession before the heathen when that they thought he had been mad when he confessed the light the Heathenish Rulers did and said that he was sent to turn people from the darkness to the light Now light shines in darkness saith Iohn and you were somtimes darkness saith the Apostle to the converted and these that were to be turned from the darkness to the light was the unconverted But where God hath commanded the light to shine out of darkness to give the light of the knowledge of God these be the converted here 's light comes out of darkness So all you that doth not see the light which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world which shines in darkness and darkness doth not c●mprehend it and where light shines out of the darkness it gives the light of the knowledge of the glory of God you that do not see this are the darkness yet which do not comprehend the light and the god of the world hath blinded their minds and their eyes are not yet opened and from darkness you are not yet turned and in the unconverted state you yet be that the god of the world hath yet blinded your minds lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ should shine in you which doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world so what communion hath light with darkness it is an unequal yoke 1 Cor. 6. for light brings to have fellowship with God communion with God but darkness cannot comprehend it and thus the Apostle who was sent to turn people from the darkness to the light warning both small and great which made the heathenish Rulers to think that he was mad To turn people now from the darkness to the light and to profess the light is the same as it was then and them that are wondering and thinks them besides themselves that speaks of the light to them their eies are not yet opened so your eyes must be opened before you see the light so he that believes the light shall not abide in darkness but he shall have the light of life Mark the light shines in darkness there but he that believes in the light shall not abide there but he shall have the light of l fe so if any man walks in the night he stumbles because there is no light in him in him that walks in the night Mark he walks in darkness and it is his time of darkness and these are them that sees not Christ the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world yet light shines in darkness but he that walks in the light there 's no occasion of stumbling in him but he that walks in the night he stumbles because there is no light in him for he is from the light for light shines in darkness and darkness compreh●nds it not Here you may see him who ab●des not in the truth but walks in the night endures not light he that w●lks in the night goes from the light and hates the li●ht because his deeds are evil and will not come to the l●ght because the light will reprove him Iohn 11. so while you have the light walk in the light lest darkness come upon you for he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes and while you have the light believe in the light that you may b●come children of the light so b●lieving in the light you become a child of the l●ght I am come a light into the world that whosoever believeth in me should not abide in darkness Mark he is to come out of darkness he is not to abide there he that believes in Christ the light of the world Now whosoever saith he believeth in Christ and abides in darkness his belief is false John 12. but whosoever believeth in the light should not abide in darkness he comes to have death abol shed and hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel that 's the power of God 2 Tim. 1. and who sees this knows him who hath immortality dwelling in the light here 's the converted estate And Brethren ye are not in darkness that the day should overtake you as a thief but ye are all the chi●dren of the light and of the day and not of the night nor of darkness Mark the Apostle saith they was not in da kn●ss and so the day should not come upon them as a thie● and mark how the day wi●l come upon them who be in the darkness that comprehends not the light that be in the time of light shining in darkness and d●rkness doth not comprehend it upon such the day will c●me as a thief Mark ●he day will come as a thief What a wo●d is this upon them that are not the children of light but upon them that be darkness where light is not comprehended 1 Thes 5. A light to the Gentil s a glory to Israel Mark a light to them that are called heathen and a glory to the people of God Luke 2. And here one saw the fulfilling of the prophets he that saw his salvation saw the glory of Israel and the light of the Gentiles so doth every one that seeth their salvation they see the light that ligh●eneth every one that cometh into the world the glory of Israel and the glory of the Gentiles Now saith Christ to his Disciples what I tell you in the darkness that speak you in light and what I tell you in the ear that preach you on the house top and be not afraid of him that kills the body Mark what condition these was in when this was spoken to them when he told them there was nothing covered that should not be revealed and hid that shall not be known Matth. 10. and saith Christ the light of the body is the eye if therefore thy eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light Mark if thy eye be single make search and see if it be so Matth. 6 but if thy eye be evil thy whole body is full of darkness Mark there 's place for it if therefore the light that be in thee be da kness how great is that darkness such are se●ving Mammon and the contrary master to such here 's the distinction and laying up for themselves treasure upon earth where the eye is not single and such puts light for darkness and darkness for light So Christ was called with the Jews a Prince of Divels So the light that was in you was darkness yet Christ told them the Kingdom of Heaven was within them and the Kingdom of Heaven

light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen then shall thy l ght break forth as the morning and thy light speedily and thy righteousness shall go before thee and the Sun shall be no more thy light by day nor the Moon give light to thee but the Lord God sh●ll be thy everlasting light here 's conversion thy light riseth in obscurity and thy darkness shall be as the Noon-day read that condition here 's conversion again Isa 58. and 60. such as came out of bondage out of captivity out of transgression the Lord had enlightned them and given them a nail in h s holy Place Mark a nail a fastning Mark and read what a nail doth but such as be in the captivity transgression and bondage darkness covering therefore light shineth and darkness comprehendeth it not thou wilt save the afflicted and b●ing down the proud Look thou wilt lighten my candle oh Lord and enlighten my darkness Mark as the afflicted is saved proud looks is brought down the candle is lighted and there 's enlightning of darkness Mark the enlightning of darkness that l ght sees over it Psal 10. and they look'd to the Lord and unto him and were enlightned Mark as there 's a looking to the Lord there 's an enlightning yea which makes the face to shine Psal 34. but looking from the Lord and going from the light and ●ates it he goes into darkness and there he stumbles if it be at Noon-day they were stumbling when Christ was among them the Pharisees the Scribes the Jews which had Scriptures but were darkness and in darkness and the light shined in them but they could not comprehend it and the kingdom of heaven was within them but they were observing it to come Lo here and lo there and of David according to the flesh Christ came said his lightning enlightned the world and the earth saw and trembled Mark enlightned the world you will say he enlightens Saints but his light enlightens the world and the earth saw and trembled Psalm 97. He spread the cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the night Mark who be in the night there was fire to give th●m light in the night to stay upon whereby they m●ght stay upon the Lord which was to the children of Israel which had the figures of the everlasting substance Christ Je us the enterance of thy words giveth light Ma k the entrance of the words of God giveth light it is a true word but you see the Pharisees had the words and the mind that transgressed so they hated the light Christ they that had received the words from others but the enterance of the words received from God giveth light if I say surely the darkness shall cover me even the night shall be light about me yea the darkness hideth not from thee take notice of this but the night shineth as the day the darkness and the light are both alike to thee for the Lord sees over it who is one with the light that shines in darkness Psal 139. ye are the light of the world saith Christ who saith he was the light of the world said his Disciples was the light of the world Mark the light of it a City set on a hill that cannot be hid neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick and is giveth light to all that be in the house let the light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your father which is in heaven here they answer the light which every man is enlightned withal that are the light of the wo ld which makes them to glo●ifie their father which is in heaven and think not saith Christ that I come to destroy the Law but to fulfil it Matth. 6. the paths of the just are as the shining light which shineth more and more to the perfect day the way of the wicked is as darkness and they know not at what they stumble at Prov. 4. the light of the righteous rejoyced but the lamp of the wicked sha●l be put out Mark he goes from it who hates light and transgresseth and abideth not in it and so hath not God Prov. 13. the poor and the deceitful man meets together and the Lord lightens both their eyes Now mark here is the poor and the deceitful man ●oth enl●ghtened but he that doth ev●l leaves the light and doth not come to it because his deeds are evil and that is his condemnation And you that say the wicked man is not enl●ghtned the deceitful man is not enlightned you deny the Scripture read Prov. 29. and I say that wisdom did excel folly as light darkness Eccles 2. Mark and know this light and know this wisdom that excels folly and darkness and com●rehends it which gives to see the salvation Christ Jesus the light of the world that doth enlighten every man that cometh in●o the world the Covenant of God to the Jews and Gentiles and salvation to the ends of the earth so he that believes in the ligh● shall not abide in darkness but shall have the light of life and he that believeth in the light shall become a child of light and Christ the Saviour of the world doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world and this light from him will let every man see his salvation which believ●ng in the light receives power to become the Son of God but hating the light it is his condemnation and he doth enlighten all men that c●meth into the world that all might believe this is his end but he that doth not believe is condemned and this is his condemnation the light that light is come into the world mark into ●he world he doth not say altogether in his Saints and men love darkness rather then the light mark men that darkness are in the world and hates the light and doth evil and will not come to the light left his deeds should be reproved but he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be manifest that they are wrought in God Now he loveth darkness because his deeds are evil and every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved mark th●se be of the world and hath these the light yea how should they know their evil deeds else and will not come to the light because the light will reprove them therefore men love darkness rather then the light for every one that doth evil hateth the light and this is his condemnation the light that doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world saith John he doth not say every Saint that cometh into the world but every man and light shineth in darkness and darkness doth not comprehend it Now the Apostle writes to the Corinths and told them God had commanded light to shine out of darkness which shined in their hearts which did give them the light

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. F.

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
