is the Word of God which Judgeth the wicked man for his wickedness and this is he which was in the beginning with the Father before the Heavens were framed or the foundations of the Earth were laid and this Word we bear testimony unto which became flesh and dwell amongst the Apostles as the Scripture of truth declareth and by the same Word is the World kept to this day standing in the water and out of the water and all things are upheld by him Heb. 1. 3. Who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the Word of his power and this Word we bear testimony is nigh people as the Scripture of truth declareth in the heart and in the mouth But it may be said did not the Apostles preach Christ in the Scriptures or did they not bid people look for him Answ. Nay the Apostles preached Christ the word nigh in the heart and in the mouth and said there is no need to say who shall descend or who shall ascend or go beyond the Seas but what saith it the word is nigh in the heart and in the mouth that you may hear it and do it and this is the more sure word of Prophesie which you will do well if you take heed unto as unto a light that shineth in a dark place and there was them who had the word of God abiding in them to whom John writ 1 John 2. 14. I have written unto you young men because you are strong and the word of God abideth in you and ye have overcome the wicked one and this word is to be known within the anointed of God as 1 John 2. 27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him And the word of God which Paul was a Minister of we bear testimony unto which word he did not preach till he was revealed in him as Gal. 1. 15 16. saith he When it pleased God who seperated me from my mothers womb and called me by his grace to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the heathen So now people may plainly see that Paul did not preach Christ who is the word till he was revealed in him and this was the end of his Ministry and of his travail who said I travail in birth again till Christ be formed in you he did not say he travelled till they professed Christ or Scriptures or talking of him but till he was formed in them for he was in them as saith Paul 2 Cor. 13. 5. Examine your selves whether you be in the faith prove your own selves know you not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates and when he writ to the Colossians Col. 3 16. said Let the word dwell in you richly in all wisdome and this word we bear testimony unto which we know St. Paul declareth Heb. 4. 12. The word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and Spirit and of the joynts and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart so this is the word of God which divides between the pretious and the vile in people that which cuts down the unruly nature that is the word of God yea the sword of the spirit is the word of God and so that which cuts down the wicked one in people the same reconcileth to God and this word was committed unto the Apostles for saith Paul 2 Cor. 5. 19. He hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation so the same word which cutteth down the man of sin in people the same reconciles to God as the Scriptures of truth declareth Yea but it may be said Christ said search the Scriptures then cannot we find Christ if we search them Answ. The Jews searched the Scriptures and thought in them to have eternal life for they are they which testifie of me saith Christ but you will not come to me that you may have life so friend whosoever thou art I do not deny but thou maist search the Scriptures which testifieth of Christ but thou can never have life till thou come to that which Scripture testifieth of which is Christ Jesus the word of God Yea but it may be said we had thought the Scriptures had been the Word Answ. Nay Friend by the Word the World was made which was before Scriptures was which Word abideth and endureth for ever the Scriptures did not make the World but the Word which the Scripture testifieth of which he that hath it hath life he that hath not the Word hath not life so it is the ingrafted Word which is able to save the soul Then some may object and say if thou sayes Christ is the Word and the Word is but one then thou denies Scriptures Answ. Nay the Scriptures of truth I own which was spoken forth as the holy Men of God was moved of the holy Ghost which are good in their places yea let my Pen fall out of my hand and my arm from my shoulder and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth rather then I should deny the Scriptures of truth for they I truly own which testifieth of the Word but the Scriptures are Words as Exod. ●0 1. And God spake all these Words saying c. for the Scriptures were called Words before Christ Jesus the Word of God was made manifest in the flesh and this Word came unto the Prophets which came out from the Father as you may read in Isaiah Jeremiah Ezekiel and other of the Prophets who said The Word of the Lord came unto them saying they did not say the Scriptures came unto them saying but the Word from which they spake forth Scriptures and so the Scriptures declareth and testifieth of the Word from which Word the Scriptures were spoken forth by the Prophets Christ and the Apostles and they were given forth to be believed in and to be fulfilled and so the Scriptures of truth we own which was spoken forth from the Spirit of God as the holy men of God was moved of the holy Ghost and this is writ to stop the mouths of them who say we deny the Word and for the information of the simple hearted who desire to know what we believe as conconcerning that thing I have by plain Scriptures laid down that we own no other Word but that by which the World was made and by which the Scriptures were spoken forth which Word abideth and endureth for ever Written the 5th day of the first Month near 1660.
