all thy things made Selos in re sapuit ad amalam sab or on seben sait pele mem The English is the height of wisdome is in knowing God in the things created or made for he cannot be known as he is in himself Pele Ezecheus in se sephi el oli in re sabat al. O the greatness of things cannot demonstrate the heavenly light but that light doth demonstrate it self as it self pleases that is the english of the fore-cited state or citation in the tongues Now Beloved I have shown you one glimps of Gods goodness and Gods greatness in his distributive destributive in distillation into and upon the creation in appearances by his illustrious influences in strength conveyed from himself through the celestial Attire that is the high moving motions in the sphere celestial and so is conveyed by the Sun through the Moon into every receptacle appearance in the terrestrial world or forme or chaos I prove it so for what is not union is a chaos I speak it as relative to man but it is union unto God his varieties in themselves is his delightful union in himself Now beloved I come to shew you how man is essencied in God and then how he is like God in the earthly figure and if he be renewed to his figure that is the life of Christ risen up in man in predominacie where man is wholly subjected to the will of God that is man to be wholly passive and the spirit of God to be the sole and whole rule in the spirit of man then the figure is as true in the derivative essence as it is in the raigning all Now beloved I come to shew you man that is man drawn up by the Spirit of God into union with God as saith one Text Whereby we have an union with the Father through one spirit that Text varieth little from the Original in its import for it is thus whereby our union is made one through Christ. O how I could joy if there were no more dismeeter in the whole conclave of the old and new Testament then had I not had this trouble that my manhood lies under the zeal I have against the aspersion that by weak and vain man is laid upon God onely by the ignorance in man and his false conception that man hath upon the sacred Majesty of God that is in not ful understanding the denotation that God hath letten down to put motional man to a stand or stof But now I come to denote how man is said to be like God that is the earthly patern of the Divine thing in sanctum sanctorum now man being made obedience he acts in love from that Root obedience which word in the Hebraick terme is Rokas in the Greek tongue it is Kias in the Latine word it is Cristus but you would have it Cartas but the word is neither Cristus nor Caritas but the true nominative case is Cristos in the true Latine the import is binding that is the full import of the word Rokas which is the essence from whence all these are derived from for the Hebrew is Pimus maxzi that is the first great strength that is the significant of Rokas Now know that obedience is the all required of man and obedience is the all gift from man to God that is the Rokas or binding strength of man to God by Gods own gift that is thus much in import In one Text I saith God will give them an obedient heart and they shall fear me Now this obedience is Gods free gift into man that is to say in truth of words it is Christ in the soul now in man is this obedience set which is Christ or the Spirit or the holy Ghost or the new Birth or the Angel of God in man Now know that at the descent of the Spirit into the Soule of man it causes in the Soul an erection of the heavenly figure then doth the Pattern temporal act in true truth in the Pattern as it is in the Seater Though it be but a derivative yet it is in sanctification holding coherent with the Essence it was derived from Now I may truely speak if truely understood it is thus much God in man and man in God that is by the derivative Essence essencied in Flesh and yet not flesh but the subjecter of flesh to it self and so both unto God so the marriage is compleated in the union of one Spirit being thus God in himself and in man by his Spirit this is the true pattern of the divine and sacred Trinity operative in the earthly form which is the figurative pattern of the trine celestial yet all in one which in property of is speech Jehovah or Al for Al if duly considered in this new dispensation but it is but the old truth reduced to his Originalest center in the true declarative which by reason of mans false conception of God and his declarative so that the truth in the litteral expression is buried and one of Gods declaratives mixed with mans invention by mans conceiving it to be so and he not knowing the true import of the various maxzims in their combinements in themselves and with others in their addititional coherencies and adjuncts Now in this Sate if truely understood the learned Rabbies may perceive that by my pointing at these Maxzims being I am unlearned in what I declare it might be a satisfactory satisfaction for them either to affirm against me or else to acknowledge it to be true what I say least I do conclude that their silence doth give consent through their ignorance in the citation I declare Now I have drawn up man and stated him in his called center or earthly form to what can be required or can be attained to in which man may in property of speech be said to be like God by the Spirit of God predominating in man to mans subjectancie in the whole to the Spirit thus that man beareth this Motto from God his owne writing be thou like me in my humane creation this is the new creation that God makes or the called new birth in every one that is brought forth unto God Now I come to the declaratives that this new birth if truely born and brought forth unto God OF you think would have been the true word as to have said to be born of God that very OF makes all the state false for in a true state there must not be a false letter so in a true sentence there must not be a false word and know that in the Translation in the Major OF is read in the divine and sacred expressing or writing Now minde I will not neither can I give it the name Scripture if it were but for that one word OF and that word but named once in the whole book for minde we have and do read OF an Affirmative and it is in our language or speech a Negative Now I come not to dwel in the name or shadow

but to look into the center I mind not what is said but the true truth is in truth the thing is and now blessed be the Lord my God he doth increase my understanding Now mind I come to shew not what is written but what in your hearts you hold a zeal for the same I ever did since God gave me light and it is this the Scriptures and the Gospel for the defence of them through the strength of my God I would lay down my life for them Now I will show you that in terme that I may say that I and you at this day are so zealous for that is the Scriptures so called now the God that you ignorantly worship him show I unto you and I beseech you take special notice even you that are but notional and you likewise My brethren that are zealous but not according to knowledge as through Gods goodness I shall make appear Non est nome sanktus in re sabat akzi a malet oli in rem medad alphi sele arbat al. The English from this Hebrew state and yet both Latine Greek and Arraback and Caldee all these tongues to make a true harmonious assent in consent But lest you learned Rabbies should contend with me that am unlearned onely English I have and that no man worse but I will give you one hint of knowledge and learning denoted unto me by the Spirit and what spirit let the declaratives of it self speak and the obedience and actions of my life speak forme and so all judge Look you be clean within and then you judge righteous judgement But now Scholars know that the major includes the minor so the major in that state is Hebrew wrote in Kof ק that is the second strength in writing Now let me tell you Schollars I will but state three Hebrew words and I will make their majority carry the state of five lines of Latine stated but they will not carry so much in no tongue for know the nearer you come to the center which is the Hebrew the more you disearet the weak connexions dependancies For know that the Arraback and Caldee and Syrriack and the Muscovite in their original center are as it were in the edge or verdge of the Hebrew Now you will say that the majority of them languages is Hebrew it is granted but write you in any one of them languages it is not Hebrew So though the Hebrew her Regencie be over the languages yet her predominacy may be eclipsed by another tongue when she is but an adjunct in the state or sitation for know that in all tongues and languages there is an union consent and assent in a composed composure in their coherents and the truth flowes from the head to the foot and ascends from the foot to the head as the rivers from the sea to the sea their centred center But this knowledge in truth of knowledge by man is not to be understood and none but the Spirit of God whose conveyances is in and through all tongues into one language that is the scriptum est Now brethren your long patience is your expectation of what is Scripture I beseech you mind I cannot come when I would to open the state or citation out of the tongues though my desire is as great as yours can be ye though I am weary I cannot leave writing the mysterie that lies in the Hebrew state last cited when I thought to have open'd it when I named the english I could never come at it till now non est nome sanklus in re Now I beseech you mind the english of the forecited state The name is not the holy thing now I read negatively The holy thing denyes any name in truth of thing but is and is in truth hath no name Now mind since the world was there was not a greater denotation by the spirit of the truth in God than this Now there is another citation in the same Hebrew state which is this The true Scripture 't is the divine life of God in the soul and it is written by and with Digitus Dei the spirit finger or finger spirit by God O that destroying of it wounds and destroyes sense for according to our Translation digitus Dei the finger of God that word of undoes the state Now I shall show you how your zeal is evacuated and how you come misled concerning that you call the Bible and new Testament calling them the Scriptures or the word of God the Word was made flesh and in that flesh there is a Table and a Book that even that God doth write upon that is Holmess to himself But to come to speak to you brethren even ye blind persecuting Zealots truly I love you all and pity all for ye cannot do right till light be come Brethren I demand of you from whence zeal proceeds if it be true zeal in light it proceeds from that scriptum est that is from that inward and inmost Vail unvailed though you know it not Now know but this that nothing without can give life to your zeal within but it lives in it self and from that small appearance within to the notional man he as he is sees outwardly and he catches at the glimmerings within and through that false conception he states all without upon mans writing or the Signam manum or sign of a mans hand of mans spellings so man not drawn into obedience to the spirit of God within he builds upon outward words and names in books without Now I beseech you mind did any of you receive remission of sins by mans preaching you and I my self did think so thus such a man is a man of God and he is able to turn any man now how was that because Gods power within thee did begin to unfetter thee for it was Gods spirit did begin inwardly to illustrate and thy resurrection and walking was from that light within and thou accounted that it was done by man or hearing or reading here thou wast a greater Idolater then before now here thou sacrificest to man and in this act thou makest and accountest him thy God converter or the Bible or Testament were thy Idols when indeed and in truth it was onely the alone descent of Gods mercy conveyed by his spiritual light arising in thy soul that caused thy awaking from the corruptible estate of death and darkness Now mind I desire to know of you my brethren whether the knowledge doth lye outwardly in objects declared or in the inmost or inward understanding in the spiritus that is in the spirit in that word θ in that import it is a Greek word and it doth denote God his Spirit that is θ spirit and you read it the spirit not understanding the import of the word Now if that be granted that cannot be denyed if duly considered that the understanding lives and lies within the inmost spirit why doth not man act alwaies right and in truth of zeal I answer

made in the perfection that is to say thus much God doth cause obedience in the creature and that obedience is acknowledgement of digression and that acknowledgement wrought from that root obedience which is truely Christ in the Soul for he causes an acknowledgement God is satisfied through him the Spirit of obedient man is taken into perfection or heaven Do not deceive your selves God is not like partial men for God is love mercy and compassion Now let me shew unto your view one place of Scripture so called that you and I my self in the daies when I knew not God was much troubled at that is a text translated corruptly from which place that place in the Romans doth hold coherent the text is this as you read it Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated and this was before the Children were born now I plainly see the Sarbax or strength that that place in the Romans fetches that is implied thus much that it might stand with Gods decree according to Gods election as I have declared them words were none of Pauls But now brethren I beseech you by the mercy you have received lay by all prejudice opinions and minde exactly and directly for it is the maine asperse that lies upon the holy and just and glorious God it is laid upon him by the invention of man first I will read the true text in the truth of words to express the intire union significant which is this Eval-silo-reme-am sardet a salu o●oniel In that word odoniel is the main mistake for it is rendered addoniel the English of odoniel is the all-saving mercy of God and addoniel is God in his declarative of Justice Now I read the whole text coherent in the intendant which is this Jacob I love Esau I hate Now let me tell you that these two are in every man and woman under heaven For Jacob is Gods delight that was as much in that day or time as Christ with us for the maxims full drawn is both one for it is in truth no less then the Spirit of God in man or Christ in flesh Now Esau is the Spirit of man that was denoted in this word Esau which word in the original signifies a searcher or pryer or deceit or weakness which is indeed that Spirit that Paul saith is enmity against God or higher it is one with the Devil I prove it thus Esau was and is that searching Spirit that would pry into the secret of God which was a Spirit of disobedience that was and is to be cast forth Now Jacob is an hebrew word Scholars it is wrote with three radiaces in ם Sambah or Sameck that is the name which is denominated in the highest strength in pronounciation that is the meaning when I say such a thing is wrote in Sambah ם now the characters decyphering out this state are ר כ י Rosh Caph and Jod Now Scholars you quarrel with me because the radiaces do not give the true tone or sound let me demonstrate unto you that are the highest learned in the world in the state or sitation take notice and do you know that in the Caballesterial insertion the true knowledge in that mistery lies in the very averets or Frame in the rough materials that is knowing them in their true desendant ●●ttere thus much to know every radiace in his proper weight in his senter Original and to know him in his true original senter that is both negatively and affirmatively and then to know the true state of all his combinements in himself and with all others in their various and dubious imports and compounds this is one hint of Theauraujohn unto you learned ones though I my self am unlearned Now to show you ר כ י Resh Caph and Jod denotes Jacob it is thus much ר Resh is wisdome כ Caph doth impede that wisdome י Jod doth illustrate through כ Caph and ר Resh so to draw the consort into one entire insert it is thus much Gods loveliness in man or the Image of God in man this is Jacob for he saith the inserted he Scripture was the figure of Christ Now I have shown you Jacob Now I come to show you rough Esau he is wrote with three radiaces that are these ש ז ה Sin Zain and Hea. Now people I intreat your patience while I do define this state to our great learned ones Now you great learned Rabbies If I according to your learning had but stated ם Sambah in ש Shins stead then there had been some sound in the pronounciation and do but read the state contrary then you might have made the stated state sounded Heza and now it sounds Hezin Now I will show you the Original of them three radiaces I hold in the Hebrew term or else radax in English is the proper word Now ה Hea is weakness ח Heth is her essence ז Zaine is a figitive compound in any state according to the truth in the methodical method ש is weakness her essence lies in ם Samah or Sameck now shut these together then it is the figitive Spirit in weaknesses that is the rebellious Spirit in man which indeed is the Devil in man unto which Spirit Christ spake when he said they were of their Father the Devil whose works they would do because they were guided by that figitive Spirit that deceiver that Antichrist which hath prevailed over all Nations and now raigns in England in his predominatest spheare yea and in the clothing of holiness or holy zeal and the obeyers of him are deceived and know not that the Lye is in their right hand and hath deceived them But now to come to clear the goodness of God from that charged partiality by mans false conception of his knowledge of him I intreat you minde First I say as I have declared God could not chuse when all was wrapped in the womb of union how could he chuse when nothing was produced but himself alone in his alone and entire Essence I beseech you minde for it will if duly considered take off a great deal of trouble out of both heads and hearts of many people who lye under eruel bondage of this corrupt and false conception that God had from Eternity ordained some unto salvation and some unto damnation which is absolute Blasphemy I prove it to be Blasphemy thus that that can or will be partial it is not God for God is just and just doth not nor cannot admit of partiality then let all the world know that God will not act that himself that he commands man being his representative to be warned of which is these words spoken by God to man that is this command do just without partiality Now you will say are we not as the Pots in the hand of the Potter and may not God do what he will who shall say why doest thou so to his Maker I pray you mind I intreat you I say no the comparison is weakness and it is false I prove it

thus First God is just and he cannot be otherwaies as for man he is corrupt and must be changed to be made like unto God in Gods righteousness Now do you and all the world know that God who I know is just and all people will say God is good and just and righteous then how can this God act partiality or weakness thus if God do condemn partiality in man and if it be as you say that God did ordaine some to Salvation and some unto Damnation Is not be partial I say he is if it be true that you affirm but I say it is a Lye and false that you affirm and Father it upon Paul and God is holy just and without partiality neither did he decree any to Damnation or Salvation as you say and affirm but that point I open not yet though I know that there is nothing that is wrote but shall be abstracted into truth in which Original it was first let down But you will say thus God made us and he may do with us what he pleases I answer no for he hath but one attribute in that matter and that is just mercy to save his thing created and no more I say that God had just mercy to create the creature and just mercy to save the creature being made and no more not a little Now you in your weakness will say that I limit God or confine the holy one I say no do you but truely understand what that word just is and I tell you it will keep you in your own bounds without censuring me or judging God for know just is perfection neither admitting nor degating that is to say neither more or less but it self that is in the word just Now I tell you Jacob was ever saved and ever loved I say Iesus ever saved ever a Saviour I say Abraham ever saved I say the Image of God in man the same ever saved by reason it is one entire with it self in a derivative and will be one in Essence at the unmoddelling of every figure For man dies and the Spirit returns unto God that gave it Now I prove of Esau there shall be saved that is of that wicked or evil Spirit that is Children of the Devil nay devilish children Hos si selat-ar-al The English is this The Spirit of darkness shall be made light and saved Non quantum sed magit sed maxci sele mem The English is this Not much nor little but the thing shall be taken into rest Now I beseech you minde what the Spirit saith in this citation not much nor little but the thing what is that thing and what is the much and little The much and little is nothing but the sound of the thing in appearances the thing that is the Spirit in that much and little made obedient it shall be taken into perfection or heaven so that the disobeying Devil shall be made obedient and thus indeed and in truth do not flatter your selves for every one of us present is in our weak dark and blind condition which is guided and ruled by the Devil for his servants you are to whom you give obedience and whom do we obey until light arises in us through the operation of his powerful resurrection in us Ola olla osonno romi deleous in sesabat al ogo olemus sebat arbatar allab ak obediah sab al oli mem The English derivacie is this the darkness is made light by obedience that will in obedience is Christ the interceder for the accounted elect but the proper word is chosen and obedience is the chocie-maker in the marriage and upon that knot lock or ty doth the whole centre stand Now beloved let me intreat you but to consider one Scripture as you call it it is thus much the Elect cannot be deceived Now what that is and where it doth centre I will show you it is in these two hebrew words Oli al that is the 〈…〉 ght of God in man that is the Image of God in man that cannot detract nor be deceived This point is held by many but the truth in the thing is not understood Now minde I beseech you was Christ sent to preach unto that that could not be deceived it was vaine folly so to think and the greatest weakness so to think but Christ came to cast forth the Devil and to convert him that was cast forth now how is this doctrine to be understood Selam arba a sadit al oli mem durata sebat al oli mene seam abstrakcit oli senebassai elma avadet selose in re semmam The derivacie in English is this The thing accounted Devil and darkness and perdition is the false conception in man of and in the true thing that is God who is both light and darkness neither light nor darkness but the conjunct of both them two named semblances that is to say light and darkness he doth bring both them into one original centre which is in God himself from whence they had their issuing forth Beloved it is not what we account and conceive in our weak apprehensions but God is and that is God acting in light and dark appearances though that be Devil and darkness and afflicted for sin yet let me tell you t is light to God for that that is to us a burden t is light from him to make us like himself enlightning our Devil or darkness which is one and the same in their accounted centre I beseech you let us plead together without prejudice opinion Now minde I say there is but two Spirits good and bad that I do but say for I know beyond what is said but it cannot be with convenience born nor delivered for it is a rending maxim but I say as you say there is but good and bad light and darkness heaven and hell is not this your owne method you cannot deny then I say Christ came not to call light or righteousness but Sinners Devils to repentance these are your owne words now as I said before to teach the Spirit that could not be deceived it was vain folly that he that was all wisdome would not do for the Spirit could not be deceived that is the living life of man operative But he came to preach to the disobedient Spirits in prison Now what are these this is the disobedient Spirit in man that is the Devil in man now at Christs own preaching this Devil is alwaies cast forth but not by mans naming Christs words or the name preaching For I tell you that ye are all even ye Priests as far from preaching as light is from darkness for ye name a shadow for a substance for if man could once preach he then is Christ then he casteth forth at his voice but it is a spiritual voice from the true centre Now it may be ye would know of me what I account Christ to be I answer that the Christ that I know he is one with the Father and his declaring himself

the highest but here comes the separating Ax that is thus Christs people are operative doers and ye are onely operative hearers and your doing is contrary to that you have heard so there you have set to your seals for doing is the sealing to others what God the merciful Creator and Lord of heaven and earth hath done in us Therefore I intreat all in Christs stead never hear more unless ye resolve to be doers of his will whose voice you seemingly desire to hear for in hearing and not doing ye treasure up wrath against the day of wrath which is even at the very door ready to seize upon all disobedient hearers and not doers of the things they have heard for God shall render wrath in fury like flames of fire upon the disobedient hearers Not he that heareth my Word but he that doth my Will even that same man or woman is my disciple Let me tell you one doing is better then all the hearing that ever you heard in all your days Now this that I have spoken it is the Prophet that is sent Non homo in prophecie sed propishe in re semmam The English is this Man is not the prophesying Prophet but the Prophet is the Prophecie and yet both in one that is to say in truth Man is not the Prophet but the light in man from God that even that is the true teaching Prophet Now know that this Prophet is never sent forth to one man at one time to reside in but it is Gods light at the time of Gods pleasure when the people are lost to renew them and connex them together by his Prophet that is his union Spirit in his appointed gathered All. Now I will discover unto you the notes or signes that you may know the Truth in the Prophet whether it be true or no that he declares And I will come unto the highest Instalments thus first the Spirit of the Lord by communion goeth forth to gather the people not by mans voice are the people gathered but by Gods power in his own Spirit for mans voice is a Lye but the true strength gatherer is the Spirit of the Lord. Now know that I know God will gather a true figurative Church in England and that gathering is the cause of all the trouble upon the spirits of men at this day and as the light doth increase so doth molestation and trouble increase upon the natural man for Antichrist must be before Christ in his creation for out of a confused Chaos Gods union shall be perfectly selected out That is this work that is in the earth it is Thorakx alli that is the high Revolve of the Revolution of the JEWES and their calling that is a turning from dark and dead names and dead idols though supposed Gods to serve and worship the true and living God that made heaven and earth and all things Now I come to denote the Prophet that is as it were the head unto the members I beseech you minde in that headship he is servant unto all Minde this state for it was Christs own example Who will be greatest among you let him be servant unto all That was Christs own example for he washed his disciples feet Now this Humility hath cast out the devil which is Pride and Exaltation and this lies written upon the spirit of that man in whom the Spirit is in the Flue or fulness of it I have nothing but that I have received neither do I understand what I have received But it is it self and I am yours to serve you in love which is the Gospel in truth and Truth in love is Christ and Christ is Gods So much for the first Notation of D●vitie Devinam of the divine riches or spiritual gift or the Spirits teachings or the Spirit of Prophecie The second note of the true Spirit dwelling in man is this The man must and is for the time taken wholly into the Spiritual work that is this his delight is so far drawn into that lovely beau●y of excellencie that his love is wholly in that divine light so that he hates all ends and by-respects onely advancing the glorious illustration of that beautious excellencie by voice of breath and doth seal it with a holy godly liberal life compassionate unto all Thus much Paul said Walk as we are an example unto you Be ye followers of us as we are of Christ the Lord for whose sake we hove forsaken all and do count all things but dung in comparison of Christ Jesus our Lord. Lex ●alionis in re The right understanding is Christ in the thing or the thing is Christ in the right understanding But brethren I would not have you ignorant of what hath been the reward of our Lord and Master and of the Apostles his brethren and servants and all they that will live up in the life of godliness they must suffer persecution for are we greater in this weak Age then Christ our Lord and Master was Was not he counted a dceiver a deluder a drunkard and a devil and gluttonous As it was then so it is at this day for then darkness did persecute light even so it is at this day O how are we censured for Ranters for Blasphemers and of the devil Now for what cause is this that we suffer it is first to make us perfect through sufferings that we may be made partakers of his holiness secondly that it might fill up the measure of their wickedness that destruction might come and take center in this Nation in these words Fill ye up the measure of your sins Now Brethren let me speak unto you not I but Christ in me I beseech you walk so that your walking in and doing from that root Christ your life may be demonstrated unto the sons of men that the life of Christ lives in you you in it and from that inliving life within ye act outward acts of righteousness and holiness without which no man shall the Lord and although ye are condemned for blasphemy and blasphemers yet I beseech you for Christs sake let your light of doing acts of mercy be great that so the illustration of that beaut●ous truth may be by you so illustrated that they may be ashamed that have an● do asperse and speak evil of you wrongfully and know I act the life of the Gospel which is doing that you call blasphemy So worship I the God of my fore-Fathers in truth and righteousness and let me tell you that my blasphemy is better then your high cry of the name holiness Brethren I would not have any man to take the name for the thing as to say that the Bible and New Testament are the holy Scriptures and the Gospel and the holy word of God of which they are onely the bare names and not the thing they say or name what was done and what is to do and that is all the stead they stand you in But what is done in thee O thou man

I accounted gain was loss unto me for the excellent knowledge in Christ Jesus our Lord. Beloved brethren I come not in the eloquentness of mans even weaved connexions that is with mans curious composers for the Apostles and Prophets they took not a verse to study a Sermon but wrote the Texts that you study from Now what they wrote was true what you study is a ly the smooth composure in their writing is not found a composure composed as yours is theirs was life to them yours being studied is death to you for know it is but name and not the substance thing which is Christ the Lord. Now beloved I come to the main Doctrine of all that is in the new Testament that is Ackki Cristus in sabat re el vau salvat ori in se The English is this Christ is the strong Saviour to the trusting soul in knowledge for without knowledge Christ no Saviour and that knowledge must be Christ in the soul it is his own teaching that brings us to life in himself But now I come to shew you Christ the Saviour whom multitudes of knowing people as they think they know him not Id est non corpus sed alvah a Deo in spiritus It is not the body that is Christ but 't is the high spirit in the body now the mystery doth begin I intreat you mind for I must treat Allegorically as well as litterally Non sanguise selma a maxi pele ethrati sele meos in saba almat rogel perene aks elle nene sabat not the composure of the Elements is the body of Christ but mind the word spirit that commandeth them abstracted elements into a composure O beloved I could wish that I had the highest learned men in the world to speak to for you cannot fathome my reach though litteral I beseech you mind me exactly and distinctly that you asperse not me neither wrong the Scripture nor your selves the point is this First I demand do you believe that that body of Jesus that died at Jerusalem was our Saviour for the Scripture saith that he offered up willingly an acceptable sacrifice unto God for us This is a true Scripture for it is God himself he is our alone free Saviour Now beloved this Scripture is and hath been owned many hundred years together but if it hath been viewed with vailed eyes the truth cannot be reached for you know that the Scripture speaks of Christs second comming which is the Sun in light to unvail all the mystery both in the Law and the Gospel which is his preaching within our souls teaching us the Evangelical truths that is a true sight in all things both Allegorically Mysteriously and Litterally Now I come to the called Scriptures that are litterally expressed they are Christs body shadowie pointing us unto a higher resurrection as Paul saith Let us go on to a further height not laying again the beggerly rudiments of the first principles Now Brethren for Christs body that suffered that is not your Saviour nor Christs body mind me for Christs body is obedience in the whole new man for what Christ did he did it figuratively and yet true Christ is your true Saviour now that must be sought Christ saith I will destroy this Temple in three dayes The Words that I speak is spirit and life All these are mystery let me tell you that there is not one word that came from Christ and his Apostles but were all mystery if the insert had been truly translated whereof to make up the Romish Church a body they have bodyed Christ in a body that the Spirit never intended In alagma senaim maxsi sadaos in re perflex sele nos oramus sabat al. The English is this The Church of Rome hath built their Church upon that body which is not Christs body but upon mans dung and not Christs for true Christ hath not nor cannot have any true corporal body for he is a spirit and a spirit is free from flesh and imbodies himself where he pleases but it is in the soul that is not of the body but is the Divine riches of Christ and Christs riches are spiritual in the souls of men there is one glimpse of Christs body Now know that that body of flesh that suffered at Jerusalem was not Christs body but in that body was spiritual obedience that was the Son of God and that Son in the obedient spirit in that body that was Christ your Saviour which Saviour is in you offering up you unto God which is but thus much obedience in love unto God for do you know and all people that God doth give into the soul light that light is Christ which in the soul is obedience so that God is God in regencie Christ in the soul in every man that is in light that light is obedience hereby man is made obedient and so one with the Father through the Spirit and that light in the soul is perfect Christ Now as ever the light in the soul is Christ in flesh God in spirit do not mistake me for God is the Creator Christ is the strength of God the holy Ghost and Christ are both one in the earthly creation for God is the Creator Christ is the strength of that created the holy Ghost is the valley in which the two Persons as you say act but I say one union in all that hath been spoken and no Persons for know that a spiritual essence cannot be person in true truth but if you say Persons and I say God here is no difference between us for say you what you can say I know beyond what you and the creation can say for mind saying is nothing and knowledge is all things Wrote by me Theauraujohn Taniour Allah High Priest allah all Epistle 18. Wrote at Eltham June 28. 1651.
