is all in vain And this is not known by any but such who know the Judgements of the Lord set up in the heart and the Cup of Astonishment to the Adulterous seed which comes of the Will of the flesh and cannot lay down the life for the Friend Wherefore I say Wait to know the Birth that is immortal and feel that born up which never yet vvas raised in them over vvhom the Vail yet is that the free-Birth may be known and the Seed whom God hath appointed the blessing unto from under death redeemed that by the powerful risings thereof the understanding may be opened with that which was before Forms were that to it you may come which giveth life unto the soul and know a Saviour borne of the barren Womb and a Deliverer brought forth in the place where he hath not been known and the plant to spring out of that ground which is yet dry that it may be overshadowed with the loveliness of its spreading forth that a Way may be opened in the Wilderness and the humble exalted in the Valley and so come to learn of that which is yet little and low and take heed of taking counsel of the Serpent vvhose subtilty will soon lead forth from the simplicity neither cover your selves with any thing before the Righteousness of God which is perfect be received but love that which comes from the man of sorrows vvho comes to break the peace of all them who walk not in the everlasting Way of Life Let all them who are out of it search their hearts with the Light And take heed of that which is high forward or strong in the Will for vve are weak which is not brought to the Cross for there is the first birth from the wrong grounds which will speake and act that which it lives not in neither is able to confirm it in faithfulness to the death and loss of all for things may be true in themselves and that which is out of the truth may speake of it yet such vain talkers cannot suffer to death for what they speak For that which cometh forth first is strong in the Earthly and would live for ever and have the blessing and would rule over the meeke thing in the particular and in others having a secret desire to be admired being far unwilling to take a servants place but certainly it is the meeke humble suffering seed which in many is yet opprest that is to last for ever vvho through death comes into the Dominion Therefore sink down out of the airy Comprehension and subtilty above the life and first come to suffer with that vvhich is meek and lovv if ever you intend vvith it to reign in that peace and life vvhich from all that vvithout the Vail is hid and in silence watch and be sober to see him come which saves the soul and clothes it with his own Righteousness that you be not found without a covering of the spirit power and life among the foolish Virgins for few there be that find the Way of life and abide therein And I knowing the terror of the Lord that will certainly come upon all them who dye out of his Covenant therefore I warn all people every vvhere as the Lord enlargeth me to wait to feel the powerful Word of repentance and with the light to make diligent search into the ground and foundation of all Professions Words and Actions For the Lord God will make inquisition for the blood of the Just and reward the double-minded according to the intents of their hearts the Gaul whereof will be rent with the povver of his Might which will sweep away the refuge of lyes and confound your Divinations in the head of that knowledge above the seed and a day of desolation must come Sword and Famine must you know and the Earth to be removed and your heavens shaken that the poor may come to receive the glad tydings of the Gospel which is the povver of God for the fat and the strong is for judgement both vvithin without they are still sent away empty but the poor are they which are to be satisfied not the rich high wise strong mighty prudent Diviners and Orthodox Men and zealous Professors and licentious Libertines as they are called who professe a Saviour to come some would have a King to reign hereafter but they are not agreed how nor when nor where their King shall reign whom they imagine shall come but are sound despisers and not lovers nor faithful followers of him that is come the glory of whose KINGDOM is already shining over the World and is established in righteousness Who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords Who is our Head our Law-giver and our King and vve do not look for another as the Drunkards of Ephraim do vvho are drunk but not vvith Wine and staggar at noon-day and must be dashed one against another and broken to pieces as the potsherds of the Earth vvho are looking for a King to come and know not the King who is already come Who is the Light to which they will not bow though it in secret doth them reprove and sheweth us plainly of the Father and lets them see their disobedience To it now therefore bovv and bend for plainly the Lord God vvho is light vvill not alvvayes strive by the light of his Son in your hearts and this knovv That as I tender the least honest desires that are begotten in any after the living Truth of God yet I am to deal plainly vvith all and clear my conscience of all Who are covered vvith their ovvn conceivings and in Words and Writing to vvarn all in the spirit of truth and meekness as the Lord moveth me in faithfulness to declare against that vvhich yet in any bears rule over the Seed vvhich by judgement must be overturned and all the judgements of the Lord are true Wherefore ye that are vvilling to come out of temptations into that vvhere the foolish virgins cannot enter wait in the fear of the Lord to feele his Work vvithin vvhile the day of salvation lasteth least thick darknesse come upon you and you be found in the night in vvhich none can vvork and take heed of a secret high mindedness and prize your day of visitation more then life or liberty and take heed of that vvhich vvould contrive a vvay to shun the cross or stop the mouth of the vvitness but let the honest simplicity come to rule in the measure of it and take heed of entring in and yeilding to temptations for many vvayes hath the Serpent vvhich is near to beguile and destroy the life from man vvhich is not overcome but in the continual fear through the cross to the Will vvith the povver of the light vvhich is given to lead through all these things into the rest vvhich is prepared onely for them vvho are faithful to the light For this have I not learned nor received from men the Lord God knovveth I lye not but through the operation of the mighty povver of God vvhose indignation I have born in vvhose judgements I rejoyce for ever and glorifie and praise his blessed Name vvho by it my Wisdom confounded and suffered me to be sifted and tempted by the Enemy divers vvayes yet preserved my life under the shadovv of his Wing that I might praise and serve him in the Land of the living and declare his Wonders among the sons of men and let them also see vvith the light the narrovv vvay that they are to come vvhich in some measure hath been declared though in that language vvhich the Wisdom of the World may not understand and call it legal to vvhom as foolishness it may appear but my voice may be knovvn to the spirit in prison vvhom my soul travels for in the bovvels of my Fathers love H.

HIDDEN THINGS Made manifest by the LIGHT In a plain Distinction between CONDEMNATION and TEMPTATION Wherein is shewed how the righteteous LAW of God is ministred upon the transgressor and how it is to be by all received and continued under through it as a Schoolmaster to come to Christ by him to have the sin done away for ever Also of Temptation what it is and how it may be known and discerned from Condemnation that out of Temptation Man may be delivered and kept with the Light of Christ who was tempted and did overcome With a direction to them who profess the knowledge of the truth and live not in the power of God that they may know the entrance within the Vail where the Temptations are overcome and where the foolish Virgins cannot enter Given forth for such who say they see and yet their sin remaineth and may be serviceable to such who can hear and understand the things of God that those who are yet blinde may no longer put darknesse for light and light for darknesse as it is written Bring forth the blind people that have eyes and the deaf th●● have ears Let all the Nations be gathered together and let the people be assembled who among them can declare this and shew his former things Let them bring forth their witness that they may be justified or let them hear and say it is truth Isa 43. 8 9.

Hidden things made manifest by the Light in a plain distinction between Condemnation Temptation Concerning the Ministration of Condemnation THE World being set in mans heart and sin being in the world before the promise was made which promise was before the Law by which the sin is discovered which sin was in the world before the promise yet the promise was before the Law and yet until the Law come death reigns over that to which the promise is and sinne separateth man from God the which is not clearly seen until the Commandment which is Light is come the ministration whereof is condemnation unto MAN being found in the transgression the which Ministration of Condemnation is to pass over all having sinned and when this commeth it finds man in the death and by it is sinne revived whereby man comes to see a body of sin which stands between him and God so that he is afraid of the dreadful power of God ministred forth through the law to slay him that hath transgressed the which some coming to see or in the least measure to feel calleth it a temptation because it maketh him sensible that condemnation belongeth to him and that all his profession and building upon the promise in that which the promise was not unto and seeing that if he lyeth down to receive this Ministration that then all his profession and knowledge zeal wisdom and prayers which did arise out of that ground which was cursed by reason of the sinne that was in the world before either the promise the profession or the law will be all ript up from him as filthy Rags and that his shame and nakedness must appear as it 's written Every mouth shall be stopped and every one shall stand guilty before God and no darkness nor shadow of death shall hide the workers of iniquity from the mighty hand of God who bring●th to judgement the hidden things of darkness and rips open the secret of the heart so that the most secret sins that ever was committed are clearly made manifest and justly charged upon the head of the transgressor who stands in enmity to God who will wound the head of the transgressor and plead in righteousness with him in whom the sin is found though not made manifest until the time that the Law is come by which it is discovered And this Ministration of Condemnation is not a temptation though many call it so who being blind put darkness for light and light for darkness for that which sheweth man his sin doth not tempt man to sin but rather brings man in fear that he may not sin for because of sin was the Law added and the Law was given after much of the love preservation power deliverances and the wonders of the Lord had been seen and it was given in the Wilderness where sometime there was want of bread and water where was Serpents Scorpions and many trials where the figure of him who was to heal the wounded and take away the sting of death and save the life of man was lifted up on high without them the which figure or outward bodily appearance was prepared by Moses And Christ had a body prepared him both which the carnal eye might see the carnal mind contend about even as the Devil about the body of Moses but the substance of the figure Christ the Light Gods power being not received within in the heart and so sin the transgression of the Law remains within and the figure or that which the natural eye did or may see was and is looked upon without and that without doth not take away the sin within and these knew not the ways of God who sinned and at last loathed the Manna calling it light bread in the Wildernerness even there was the Law ministred they whose eyes are open may read and understand And where the Law was given forth there was a Mount or a high place of the earth which then trembled by reason of the dreadful power of the Lord of Hosts and beneath or under the Mount was the Seed and Israel of God which was to keep the Law and Life Read within and understand and yet by reason of that which was hard upon the heart there was a crying out with dread and horror and fear That the Lord might speak no more least they dye and so that which is hard upon the heart in the which by the Law which is Light sin is found that is it which is afraid to receive the Law and come near the darkness and thunders and tempests and so though many do talk of the Law being a Schoolmaster to Christ yet are they as much afraid to receive the Ministration of Condemnation as their Fathers were who might have boasted that they were the people of God and his onely chosen flock and that the Land of rest was promised to them and that they had fed upon the passover and yet they perished before they came to that which was promised who are left for an example and they might have boasted and talked much of the goodness of God and of his wonders and of his presence being with them and of their own experiences therein and that therefore they were not to come under the Ministration of Condemnation and fear and horror and trembling and astonishment and

is a Temptation that leadeth man to commit any manner of sin whatsoever and keeps man from believing in him that maketh an end of sin and keepes man in sin and from repentance and turning from sin while that of God in the conscience is striving with him against sin perswading him that he cannot be free from sin and to put off the time of true repentance until Gods spirit by the light in the heart hath ceased striving and then such think all is well because that which judged and condemned them for the least appearance of evil hath ceased striving with them that so they are now quiet and not judged as formerly for what they do though they do the same things for which formerly they were judged but let such assuredly know that that which was sin is sin still though they instead of coming through the Law are gone back from the Law which did discover it and came to that state again which was before the Law or a worse where death reigns and sin is in the World though not discovered by the Law to them who have despised the Law and so become dead to that which should fulfil the Law and also dead in that vvhich doth transgress the Law even so dead in sin that not now feeling the weight and burthen thereof neither yet feeling any thing of God in them striving in them against it and is not their latter end like to be vvorse then their beginning And are not such as these who have got a profession more hardened in their sin and pleading more strongly for their continuance therein then the Publicans Harlots Drunkards and Prophane And it is a temptation which draws forth the mind to fear love serve obey or respect any man or created thing glory honor or whatsoever may be named more then God or to deny obedience to God for the attaining or retaining thereof or to let any of the most glorious creatures of God fill and take place in the heart that in it room may not be found for the power of God to enter so that the life vertue and substance of all things in which there is full satisfaction cannot be received And it is a temptation that leadeth forth to seek or love the praise of men for if that was out of the Faith which received honor from men then that must needs be of the Devil which would compel honor to be given to it that is it in man of the Devil vvhich vvould have the begotten of God honor and worship it vvhich vvould take the due honor and praise from God to vvhom alone belongeth all Dominion Glory Honor and Obedience and Praises for ever and ever And it is a temptation vvhich draweth forth the minde to Worship any other God but he that made all men of one blood and is above all and through all and in you all Who dwelleth in his people and what of him may be known is manifest within Whom all may feel after and finde Whom the world by wisdom doth not know who abhorreth the sacrifices of them whose hearts are uncircumcised and is wearyed with the peoples words Mal. 2 17. and grieved vvith their iniquity who heareth not the prayers of men of sin but waiteth to begracious unto such who wait for him in the light of his Son who was lead as a Lamb dumb and is of the seed of David who was dumb with silence and opened not his mouth while the wicked was in place But when the wicked thing is removed out of his place the humble seed of the Shepherd raised up in his Throne upon his Hill of holiness having his Enemies under his feet then he speaketh with authority and not as the Scribes Thus man coming into the fear of the Lord and waiting in the light of his Son in the heart with it may he see and discern between that which discovereth and condemneth sin and that which tempteth to sin out of which that man may be redeemed and kept out of temptations is this written in love to the seed over which the beast the dog and the swine doth vaunt themselves who have nothing to do with this but onely to receive the Cup of astonishment which to the Serpents is to be poured forth who are not to feed upon this which is written A direction in the way to that within the Vail by which Temptations are overcome TRuth is that in which the power of God doth stand and in the truth there is no lye all them who receive truth from God in it they receive his power whereby they are made his Sons in his power tostand in obedience to his wil which is that by vvhich they are sanctified and by obedience of faith thereunto are preserved keeping in steadfastness by the mighty power of God out of that which doth defile are preserved in that Dominion and place of Holiness into which the Harlots out of the truth and power and all proud boasters and such who are intruding into things they have not seen and all Murmurers vvho complain for want of power doth not enter Therefore all people vvho profess the knowledge of the truth and yet have not received the power of God in which no sin doth stand Wait ye all in the Light to know the Vaile rent and the ground to be removed from whence the Words comes which darkens that in which the Counsel of God should be received and wait to feel Judgement and Condemnation upon the Earthly that over the seed doth rule and keep Judgement that through the Condemnation that may spring which never yet was found For certainly till there be a coming through the Ministration of Condemnation the Pearl is hid under the Earth and the Earthly bears rule over it whereby it still in bondage lyes and the creature sometimes led by a sight of that which it doth not possess holding the truth of God in that which is not his Righteousness for his Righteousness is revealed by Faith through the power of him that takes away the sin and so it 's not comprehended in by that mind which is out of the Covenant And this know assuredly That many may see that which is afar off and not feel the life of what they see and so are many high professors in the World who change from one opinion to another and are all yet but fruitless Trees which are to be cut down and rooted up And many there are who call him that is the Light Lord and Master but to the Light are not obedient in self-denial nor taking up the daily-Cross which is the power of God and crucifies unto the World and so the first man of the World being not crucified nor put off the new man is not received and so little more is witnessed by many who profess truth without the life then was in the time of other Forms for if the death be not known the resurrection of the Just received and the dead raised then
