such are no Mi ni-sters of God's Word who tell you the Scrip-ture is the Word of God for they speak con-tra-ry to the Scrip-ture which saith Christ is the Word and was in the Be-gin-ning which the Scrip-ture was not and did be-come Flesh which the Scrip-ture never did and made the World which the Scrip-tures could not do and these are Mi-ni-sters of the Let-ter who are Mi-ni-sters of the Scrip-ture and not Mi-ni-sters of Christ the Word see-ing the Scrip-ture is nei-ther Christ nor the Word There-fore let e-ve-ry one Old and Young High and Low mind the Light of Jesus Christ within in the the Con-sci-ence and it Tea-ching that you may know the Path of Life and the Way of Righ-te-ous-ness that ye may be sa-ved from the Wrath that must come up-on them who by con-ti-nu-ing in their e-vil deeds pro-voke the Lord to An-ger And may be made Par-ta-kers of the Mer-cy and Lo-ving-kind-ness of God which is laid up in Christ Je-sus the Light for them that fear him and de-part from I-ni-qui-ty S. C. Little Children GOD that made the World and created all Things that therein is he is not a Man sitting as a Man above the Stars in some one place which place is called Heaven as many of the World and the Teachers thereof imagine But the true God who was Creator of all things h● is an Eternal Spirit and he is the Life and Vertue and Power that upholdeth all his Creatures and by him all things consist For without him no Creature can have a being for he giveth Life and Breath unto all that have it And this Eternal GOD no Mortal Man can approach unto for he only hath Immortallity and dwelleth in the Light And this Immortal God he cannot be kept in one place for his presence filleth Heaven and Earth the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain him as saith the Scripture And this God who is an Immortal Spirit he was your Creator and this is he whom you are to remember in the dayes of your Youth And to know this true and living God and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent and freely given to be the Light of the World that all through the Light might believe it is Life Eternal Now God the higher Power he is called the Father and Christ the Light is called the Son and Christ was glorified with the Father before the World began And Christ the light was and is called the Word which was with God in the beginning and was and is God and God the higher Power and Christ the Word are One by whom the World was made And the Spirit of Truth that is Life which proceeds from the Father and the Son as say the Scriptures of Truth And these the Father Son and Spirit the world and their Teachers call Three Persons but they speak they know not what even as they have imagined contrary to the Scriptures Therefore Children believe them not For the Father which is called the Higher Power and the Son which is called the Word and the Spirit which is called Life which proceeds from the Father and Son these are one and are not separated For he that hath seen the Son hath seen the Father also for the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father and the Spirit proceedeth from the Father and the Son as saith the Scripture and these are one Being and Subsistence Now that Word which was in the Beginiing with God and was and is God by whom all things were made that were made Mark in that Word was Life and that Life was and is the Light of men And this is the true light which lighteth every one that cometh into the World that all through that Light might believe as saith the Scriptures of Truth This Light which every one is enlightned withal the Priests of the World call it a natural light but Children believe them not for they speak contrary to the Scripture For the Scriptures of Truth say That in the Word which was God by whom all Things were made was Life and the Life was the Light of Men So Children take notice that the Light of Men is the Life of the Word which is God And this Word is Eternal and Spiritual and this Word made all the natural lights and this Word also is called Christ the Son of God whose Life is the Light of Men. And this Word became Flesh and in due time he was made Manifest in the Likeness of Sinful Flesh in that Body which was supposed to be Joseph the Carpenter's Son and he was called Jesus And in him dwelt the Fulness of the Godhead bodily and this Jesus fulfilled the Will of him that sent him and he freely gave his Life a Ransome for many as saith the Scripture And as concerning the flesh he was crucified without the Gates of Jerusalem and he was buried and he is risen again according to the Scriptures and he wrought Eternal Salvation for all them that obey him And so the same that descended the same also ascended as saith the Scriptures he that came from the Father the same is gone to the Father again And he is glorified with the Father with the same Glory that he had with the Father before the World began And though some have known him after the flesh yet henceforth know they him so no more as say the Scriptures of Truth Now Children the Scriptures of Truth do declare of God and Christ and the Spirit of Truth which are one but the Scriptures cannot bring you to know God and Christ and the Spirit of Truth For no man knoweth the Father who is a Spirit but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him as say the Scriptures And they that come to see and know the Son they come to see and know the Father also for the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father as saith the Scriptures And they are call'd by one name which is the Word or the Light for the Word is God and Christ is the Word and God is Light and Christ is the Light of the World and the spirit of Life proceeds from God and Christ who are Light And whatsoever the Son seeth the Father do that doth he also and the spirit of Life is not separate from the Father and the Son in the Work Now Children the Father Son and Spirit which are one Being is the true one only God which you are to know believe in and Worship which God is a Spirit of Truth and they that Worship him must Worship him in the Spirit and in the Truth and before you can Worship him aright you must know him and believe in him And the Knowledge of God and the Faith in him man lost through disobeying the higher Power and so fell from God in the Transgression into darkness and death And all Children and People that be in Transgression in their Natural estate in the Fall they are out of the Knowledge
