Enemies are subdued and who shall withstand his Spirit or resist his Power that he should not ride on Conquering and to Conquer until he hath accomplished Gods great work of Salvation in the Earth In which Reformation Liberty and Freedom to the Sons and Daughters of Sion is known and perfect Peace and Establishment in Gods Covenant of Light and Life witnessed against which the Gates of Death and Hell shall not prevail Though the people rage and the Heathen imagine mischief in their hearts Yet the Lords work shall go on and prosper in the Land to the shame and confusion of all the opposers thereof who take not warning by the downfal of others that have gone before them But here is our Rock that splits all the Powers of the Earth even that Rock of Ages of which Israel drank in the VVildernesse out of which flows the VVaters of Life for ever But ye have hewen out unto your selves broken Cysterns that will hold no water and will not come to the Lord the Leader of Israel and Fountain of Living VVaters that Your Souls might live So that Your Rock is not as Our Rock The Lord hath often Declared and Proclaimed Repentance to the Rulers Priests and People of this Nation from time to time by his Servants the Prophets that have been sent forth in the Power of his Spirit and that he expects a Worship in Spirit and Truth and a Government in Righteousnesse in this Nation to be established in his own way No longer in the oldnesse of the Letter but in the newness of the Spirit and that he requires such to worship him and that he will no longer be served with the abominations of the AEgyptians which sit in Darkness under the Power of Death and come not to the Light of Life in which God is well pleased but this Seed of the Kingdom that 's likened to a Grain of Mustard-seed is that which all the wise Builders in the worlds wisdom have stumbled at and rejected as a thing Common and Unclean and too mean and foolish for them to take Counsel of and so all their wisdom hath been confounded and turned into foolishness because they would not become fools that they might be wise in the way of Gods Salvation for it is a Righteous thing with the Lord to stain the Glory of all flesh that hath been exalted above his Fear in the Earth and that that which hath boasted and gloried above the Cross of Christ should now be abased and ashamed yea and shame shall cover the Faces of the Wicked and all Vizards shall be taken off from all Faces and every man shall appear to be as he is in the Day of the Lords Search in the Land and all the deceitful Coverings of Antichrist stollen from the words of the Prophets of Christ and the Apostles without the Life and Power of God in Christ Jesus shall be stript off and found too narrow to hide from Gods wrath as these that have gone before you and exceeded you therein finds true by sad experience that it s not Words and Pretences but Truth and Righteousnesse the Coverings of Gods Spirit that saves and delivers 〈◊〉 People in the time of Straits and Distresse of Nations And though you or others could now after so many Years experience beget a Reformation and Worship of which there is little Hopes and less appearance that you could make your Image speak even with the Tongue of Men and Angels and come not into the right Spirit to know the Voice of the True Shepheard Christ in you all your Labours Services and Performances of VVorship as you may call it would be no better than the cutting off a Dogs Neck or offering of Swines Blood which is altogether abominable in the sight of the Lord For men have so long talked in words of Religion Righteous Laws and Just Government to be set up and established that the Lords Spirit hath been long grieved therewith and he hath cast them out as unprofitable Servants because they came not to the Light to Gods Righteous VVitnesse and Principle in themselves which teacheth men to do Iustly to love Mercy and to walk Humbly with their God for Gods Government is a Righteous Government and its said on Christ And can men reasonably expect that Ministers of unrighteousness and Servants of sin and Satan should set up a Righteous Government for God as they stand in that Ground and Nature which is condemned by Gods Righteous Laws for ever Can he that is not Born of God do the Will or VVork of God to his Praise Or can any evil Tree bring forth good Fruit no not one It 's high time for men if ever they will come to the Light to the Root and Ground of things in themselves that is good that they may know of what Spirit they are of for most men in this Nation will confess I believe that there is a Spirit of Truth which doth the VVill of God and there is a Spirit of error which is of the Devil and against God in the VVorld Now that Spirit as the Scriptures testifie that confesseth that Christ is come in the flesh is true which is the Power of God that destroys the works of the Devil in the Creature in the Root and Ground that is evil from whence all wickednesse proceeds even out of the heart of man where Satans seat hath been And so this same Spirit that reproves the world of sin and condemns sin in the flesh leads us and those that follow it out of sin and transgression and mortifies lust in the Root and leads us into all Truth and teacheth us to deny ungodlinesse and Worldly Lusts and to walk Righteously Soberly and Godly in this present World no longer in the oldnesse of the Letter but in the newnesse of the Spirit according to the Rule of the new Creature Christ in us the hope of Glory which changeth and reviveth us in the Spirits of our Minds whereby we are inabled unto every good word and work according to the measure of his eternal Spirit working in us in which we are taught to deny our own wills and to do Gods will in Earth as it is in Heaven the enmity in the carnal Mind being destroyed by the Crosse of Christ which is the Power of God unto Salvation unto all them that believe From which all people and Nations that turn away they crucifie Christ and do but cast lots about his Vestment and retain at the utmost but a form of godlinesse without the Power and so worship a God in their imaginations ignorantly and come not to witness and feel the VVord of Life in themselves which begets the Creature again into the likeness of Gods Image by destroying and casting out that which is begotten in man by the Seed of the Serpent which is Gods and the Creatures enemy And so as the enmity is destroyed in the Root and Ground and the cause of Seperation from God done away
