with_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n within_o which_o never_o give_v consent_n to_o sin_n and_o evil_a like_a to_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n and_o to_o a_o

and_o with_o what_o you_o must_v dig_v to_o find_v the_o pearl_n the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o what_o you_o must_v sell_v for_o its_o sake_n to_o purchase_v the_o field_n and_o wait_v in_o this_o light_n you_o will_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o comforter_n to_o to_o lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o to_o bring_v the_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v speak_v to_o your_o

so_o in_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v christ_n to_o be_v your_o teacher_n who_o say_v learn_v of_o i_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n by_o who_o life_n eternal_a be_v give_v and_o you_o be_v bring_v again_o to_o christ_n the_o shepherd_n who_o draw_v you_o out_o of_o the_o fall_n to_o god_n into_o his_o image_n where_o the_o green_a pasture_n of_o life_n be_v

may_v believe_v and_o say_v christ_n believe_v in_o the_o light_n whilst_o you_o have_v the_o light_n that_o you_o may_v be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n so_o you_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o light_n which_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o it_o you_o come_v to_o be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n and_o heir_n of_o promise_n and_o mercy_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o life_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n you_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o you_o come_v to_o know_v a_o translation_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o know_v the_o beget_v of_o god_n into_o his_o own_o image_n by_o his_o power_n as_o you_o have_v be_v degenerate_v from_o god_n and_o have_v lose_v his_o image_n by_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o so_o translate_v from_o the_o image_n of_o god_n into_o the_o image_n of_o satan_n from_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n so_o you_o must_v come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o you_o may_v have_v another_o conversion_n from_o satan_n power_n to_o god_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n to_o be_v renew_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v feel_v within_o and_o as_o you_o feel_v this_o within_o you_o will_v know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n within_o in_o your_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v to_o the_o roman_n which_o they_o be_v to_o hear_v obey_v and_o do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o word_n which_o separate_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a your_o precious_a thought_n affection_n motion_n and_o word_n from_o your_o vile_a so_o the_o word_n be_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o mouth_n to_o obey_v it_o and_o to_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v quick_a and_o powerful_a sharp_a than_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v who_o shall_v bring_v it_o from_o heaven_n or_o who_o shall_v fetch_v it_o from_o beneath_o but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o mouth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o the_o same_o word_n be_v call_v a_o hammer_n a_o sword_n and_o a_o fire_n to_o beat_v down_o to_o cut_v down_o and_o to_o burn_v up_o whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o so_o it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n which_o sanctify_v and_o purify_v and_o

the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v with_o you_o in_o all_o place_n and_o in_o all_o your_o occasion_n divide_v good_a thought_n from_o bad_a good_a word_n and_o motion_n from_o bad_a for_o if_o all_o

ii_o concern_v the_o church_n our_o church_n be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o redeem_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o

work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n god_n so_o this_o blood_n be_v witness_v in_o we_o and_o the_o excellency_n thereof_o by_o which_o we_o come_v to_o know_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n iii_o concern_v the_o way_n we_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o way_n which_o be_v light_n which_o enlighten_v you_o and_o
from_o the_o inward_a work_n of_o the_o power_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o heart_n which_o as_o so_o hold_v can_v save_v any_o but_o whoever_o feel_v the_o light_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n reveal_v in_o he_o and_o come_v into_o union_n with_o god_n therethrough_a he_o feel_v the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n of_o sanctification_n of_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o redemption_n and_o so_o come_v to_o reap_v benefit_n inward_o and_o to_o partake_v of_o the_o bless_a fruit_n of_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v outward_o yea_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o one_o with_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n can_v exclude_v himself_o nor_o be_v exclude_v by_o god_n from_o the_o advantage_n of_o any_o thing_n nor_o every_o thing_n christ_n do_v in_o that_o body_n of_o flesh_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n to_o witness_v salvation_n wrought_v out_o in_o the_o heart_n to_o witness_v the_o eternal_a power_n and_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n lay_v hold_n on_o the_o soul_n to_o save_v it_o and_o not_o only_o lay_v hold_n on_o it_o to_o save_v it_o but_o to_o witness_v the_o work_n out_o and_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o salvation_n as_o real_o in_o the_o substance_n as_o israel_n of_o old_a do_v in_o the_o shadow_n for_o as_o they_o witness_v moses_n and_o joshua_n outward_o so_o the_o true_a israelite_n the_o inward_a israelite_n the_o spiritual_a israelite_n be_v to_o witness_v that_o which_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o these_o even_o the_o son_n of_o god_n reveal_v inward_o now_o they_o be_v not_o save_v outward_o by_o a_o ba●e_n outward_a

inward_a israel_n christ_n be_v give_v for_o a_o leader_n and_o commander_n who_o appear_v to_o the_o distress_a embondaged_a soul_n in_o egypt_n bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o so_o lead_v on_o

life_n so_o he_o work_v out_o the_o redemption_n thereof_o but_o as_o unbelief_n and_o disobedience_n get_v up_o and_o the_o heart_n be_v hearden_v at_o any_o time_n against_o his_o voice_n and_o
