Evil-doer and to condemn the Innocent although it be to their own Destruction and to the darkening the good Understanding till they be past feeling of the holy Spirit to lead them out of Darkness the Land of the Shadow of Death where the First-born of Death rules and reigns without any good order and in this Confusion saying in Word and gain-saying in Deed with your Words as smooth as Oyl but War in the Heart of that Seed and Spirit yea ejoyned to and led by against the very Heart of God and his Light and Life which his People live with him in and yet can cry You have nothing but Love in your Hearts to all when the Poyson is flung out before against the holy Child and against his holy Government and Order in his Church which all the Upright in Heart delight to see and in which the Apostle rejoyced when he wrote to the Church after this manner I am rejoyced greatly to behold your good Order and the Stedfastness of your Faith in Christ Jesus And again he saith in another place Now we live if you stand fast And what must they stand in but even in that holy Liberty which God who is not a God of Confusion but of Order gave them which is but one and of one Mind in all and all that be led by it and stand in its Counsel they be by it made of one Mind Heart and Soul there is no Division nor Rent amongst them for they all be for Christ their Head who purely put on and keep within this holy Vesture and Garment although ten thousand times ten thousand together this Holy Order that is in the Power being observed we have all but one Spirit the Author of our Faith and of our Hope which is but one and stands in one and makes all of one Heart and Mind having all things common where we all speak one and the same thing where we all seek the things that be Jesus Christ's and not our own these shall not hit each other nor break their Ranks nor fall before their Enemy when he shoots sore at them that they might fall and never rise again but they that put on this holy Garment must be girt about with Righteousness also and out of the Armoury of God which is built as the holy Tower of David where be the Shields of thousands of holy Men and Women which they wore and put on in their time of War and Distress but when the War was ended and Peace with God proclaimed over their Enemies the World and the Devil then they laid them down there again giving Glory to God and the Lamb whose Weapons they were crying Thou and the Lamb are worthy to have the Praise and the Honour of all our Salvation and Deliverance now and forever and ever And so I come to re-mind you of those Scriptures which some in their Darkness say I slight that ye may see whether you be in the same Love those holy and true men were in or in that Love that is of the Spirit of this World that 's Enmity with God for they said even Paul and Moses Thou shalt not hate thy Brother in thy Heart nor suffer Sin to lie upon him but thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy Brother and this is the Love which the Lord owneth and which he himself is the Author and Root of which hates the Evil and loves the Good and loves to see it exalted in Righteousness and in Judgment over all Deceit of Men that be Cunning and Crafty inventing Wayes to hold the Truth in Unrighteousness and to press into the Kingdom and holy Inheritance among the Saints in Light but yet have not known the holy equal and just Law of God fulfilled in them which fits and makes meet to inherit it And Paul saith who was a man that dyed daily to the Love the Friendship and Fashions of this Evil World through the Rejoycing he had in Christ Jesus the true Light he had Power to do this and to testifie what manner of Love the Love of God was and said Let Love be without Dissimulation abhor that which is Evil or as Peter saith Hating the Garment spotted of the Flesh And now hear some of the Sayings of David who hearkned to the Lord and to his words which were pure words to his Precepts and Statutes which were Life to his Soul and rejoyced his Heart greatly nay saith he I took the Testimonies of the Lord for my Heritage in the House of my Pilgrimage and all thy Precepts were before me and I did not put away thy Righteous Judgments from me more are they to be desired by me than Gold yea than much fine Gold and at Midnight will I arise to praise the Lord for his Righteous Judgments for Sion 's Children which be God's Children they be saved through Judgment and Righteousness So you may see who be turning Judgment backward with your feigned Love and Pity like old Ely to his Sons whilst they were in the Transgression whilst he that made them would not have Mercy on them and he that formed them from the Womb as it were to be his Servants and to wear an Ephod and a holy Prieft's Garment before him but seeing his Covenant was broken by them and the Sacrifices kicked at which he appointed in his Habitation therefore would he shew them no Favour but judged them and their Father's House forever But how did this good man David love to be judged searched and tryed by the Lord he was afraid of his Wayes like Job lest there should be any Iniquity in him hid in his Heart as a sweet Morsel and lest he had not a true Respect and Regard to all God's Commandments which he said were pure and gave Light as a Lamp Lanthorn to his Vnderstanding to the making Wise of the Simple And I do beseech you all who say You are led by the same Spirit to consider whether the same Fruit be brought forth by you in this respect or whether you love it in its Root and Buddings forth or whether the other thing that 's contrary be not budded even whether Pride be not budded and broken forth into a Rod of Violence to smite the Innocent with who in true Love dare judge nothing in you but the Bad. I will sing of Mercy and Judgment unto thee O Lord will I sing I will behave my self wisely in a perfect Way Psal 101. O when wilt thou come unto me I will walk within my House with a perfect Heart I will set no wicked thing of Belial before mine Eyes I hate the Work of them that turn aside from the path of Vprightness it shall not cleave to me a froward Heart shall depart from me I will not know a wicked Person we all in so doing shall know the Heart of God a coming to us for I am sure if we open to him when he judges he in Bowels of tender Mercy will open to
