they abide in darknes and brings forth the works thereof and are in the house of bondage kept and knows not the Rest and Peace in God and so all people who he from the light they are from the guide that leadeth in the way of life in which secrets are revealed and the Mystery opened and though such swear the Lord liveth they swear falsly for his life they know not but are enemies to it and every appearance of it and so brings forth their own conceivings and preaches it for Doctrine and stands in similitudes and likenesses forms and imitations where the false birth is exalted and the fleshly mind puft up which breaks forth in appearance and makes a great shew of godliness and in that glories but the power is denied and Christ is rejected and his appearance persecuted by this fleshly birth Therefore doth the Word of Power reach unto you all ye High-priests and professors that unto the light you may be turned and have your understandings opened to know the Scriptures that you may learn of him of whom the Scriptures testifie for he is the power of God unto Salvation to all that believe and he will teach you truth in the inward parts and make you to be of understanding hearts to know Redemption by him and Salvation in him who gives true freedom out of bondage and leadeth into the Fathers love where all fears are cast out and doubtings removed the flesh being subdued and the false birth crucified his righteousness is received in whom the Father is well-pleased and this is the day of Redemption which from the beginning was and is now witnessed to be the same and so declared in the Spirits power and not in words which mans wisdom teacheth for that is earthly and cannot reach unto things above nor know the Mystery of the heavenly and that makes the world so ignorant of the things of God because they are from the Spirit of God in which secrets are revealed and in which the Mystery is opened and the onely true God known and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent which none can comprehend or know with that which is in the transgression and at enmity with God though words they may have and in them be puft up yet from the life they are found and in their carnal minds are at enmity against it Therefore miserable will all your Comforters be who knows not the Consolation of Israel and in the day of calamity your strength will fail and your hearts faint and it is coming upon you and will be heavy upon your heads And who then will remove it or take it from you who knows not Christ within you Therefore all know this from the Lord that form without power will not save you nor the Letter without the life will give you peace and if either be found amongst you let your doctrine and practise be examined and let it be tryed what image it bears for you wanting the life and power of God your birth is fleshly and born of the flesh and of your own wills and not of the Will of God Therefore arise and depart for it is not your rest you are polluted and your image is defiled and must be destroyed for he appears against you whose Image is heavenly and you must be taken and slain before him because you will not that he should reign over you for he is destroying Antichrist with the brightness of his coming and with the sword of his Spirit is he slaying the wicked and all flesh is but as grass before him for he is blowing upon all your glory and it fades away and dies as the untimely fruit and if your eyes were not blinded you might see the arm of God dashing you one against another and breaking you in pieces as potsherds of the earth and scattering you as the Sun scatters the morning clouds and this is the day of glory which shineth forth in brightness and discovers all your emptiness in the Son of righteousness who is risen in power and gone forth rejoycing and all your idols of silver and gold must be broken down by him and the carved works of your own hands must fall before him for his Image is heavenly though you have marred it and sees no comeliness in it that you should desire it because the worlds glory is not upon it therefore cannot you believe that it is he but puts him to open shame and with your sensual wisdom crucifies him and under your earthly carnal minds buries him and sets your own life above him and so is our Lord crucified in the streets of spiritual Sodom and Egypt where he is trodden under foot and despightfully used consider if ye be not found enemies to God who hates the Light and loves your evil deeds better walking after the flesh and satisfying the lust thereof and sets the lust above the life which makes the seed to groan under the bondage of corruption bearing the earthy image which is in the transgression Now all be awakened for the day is come and the true light shineth in which the Fathers love is manifested and plenteous Redemption witnessed be ye turned unto it all ye ends of the earth for there is not another Saviour but he that is born of God and comes into the world to redeem out of the world and take away the sin of the world in whom the Fathers bosom is opened and his love tendered unto all people that none might perish but that all might come and be saved he that can receive it let him for this is the onely begotten of the Father which is come in power and great glory to put an end to sin and destroy the work of the Devil that the bands may be unloosed and the Prisoner freed and every captive redeemed by his outstretched arm this is good tid●ngs unto the poor Salvation is come that the mourners may be comforted and the feeble strengthened that all who breath after God may walk with him in the light of the living Now let all flesh be silent for God is risen the glory of all flesh to stain and Nations and Kingdoms to subdue Who stands exalted above him and brings forth a birth that is not of his begetting but is of Hagars seed and riseth up against him and is at open enmity with him despising and rejecting reproaching and reviling crucifying and slaying the appearance of him who is the express Image of the Father Now let all be measured with the line of true Judgement and then it will be seen unto whom this condition will reach and who they be that are in the enmity and in that exercises cruelty against the Lord of glory disdaining and scorning reproaching and persecuting the life of righteousness the day of tryal is come the Throne is prepared for Judgement and He that Judgeth Right sits upon it who is the Lord of Hosts come ye Priests and Professors appear before him and stand your tryal he will do
