A80101 Gods truth is faithfull in what it speaketh unto sin and death: It giveth it not too bad a name, because truth is justifi'd by him, which is just; therein it hath a crown of life, and shal have, though death like swarms of wasps are round about it. / Written by one called, John Cole-Venman. Cole-Venman, John. 1658 (1658) Wing C5096A; ESTC R174030 8,135 17

not espoused to Christ This harlot is in some souls that God wil have to be his first fruits When this harlots power shall receiue all bolzebubs into conjunction with it As it was at the first begining of the fall then thee will be the head of the deuils captives in flesh the evil one will dress and shape her so that none shall know her but gods light Nothing can see but light nothing can live but life nothing can love but love nothing can abide Christs coming but the soul if it hath any thing in it that is not as upright as Christ that shall not abide there This young harlot doth hang forth a signe and deth sweep before her dore that makes her very much respected by her devout kindred thee will as much as shee can furnish her house with that that is like trve good whereby shee may invite all that pass by her to come and feast with her inward and outward Idolatryes thee Calling them by the name of trve goodnesse she is alwayes assisted by the father of her intrest to worke her designe against the soul and trve union in it shee and some of hee sisters are the theiues that goe before Christ with their ministryes in biding men looke to them to be an example or pattern This harlots nature is so proud saying shee Rules in heaven and hell it s but her own fathers heaven and hell that shee can or ever must live in For ever all false mindes shall be shut cut of the hoaven of heavent Thus saith truth trust not him that would be trusted till his soul is ascended into the holy angels word and pewer in conjunction to redeem from deceit torment and destruction He that hath an ear to hear cannot but hear When nature hath receiued its Change it will not be tyed unto any Crab-tree neither will it that forest range where nothing but crab-trees g●●w because every thing that it meeteth withall there it s the souls soe The decei●er doth assume a ripeness in the soul in opposition to righteousnes and all harlots are acters theirin to adulterate the soul when the beauty full harlot is cast out of some souls and nothing but Christ there then his minisry is a clean sw eeper of souls and will bind all divells that did foul them in the inward principall in giuing some a mind to inslaue the necessity from its proper right Many harlots haue spoken against the beast saying they were sent from God but he would not beleiv them but keeps them in subjection and shal do till Christ hath his most powerfull ministery in for●● thou the beast and all harlots and false prophets shall joyn with him that will drag them along to fight against the lamb and his army READER it s the true spirits spy-right mind that gives life to word And makes knowne what the 24 Letters do afford Either in the single letter or in the compacted word The Lord cometh to confound all mens talk because when they talk they do not understand name or nature which of they talk The spi-right of truth is the confounder Whosoever hath the spi-right minde that shal not be confounded There is a great deal of talk of taking God his name in vain all do take his name in vain but the spi-right mind in men which seeth all vanity in them The unfaln Angels will have the government of vailed soul from the deceit which they are vailed with by subjecting of the deceiver to have no freewil to deceiv or destroy but to become their foot-stool God doth cleanse away the evell minde then he speaks into the soul it receiveth him God will have all cleansed before him as he is clean The body of man is a Figure the soul in it is a subject or essence carrying or bearing the body about This subject is to be no subject to that that gives it any self carnall minde or subject to any other affliction it is to be a s●● to life and not subject to death When the unsallen power hath raised it by his spi-right mind up into himself then man is in the eternal nature There is the unfallen undeceiuer and the fallen Deceiuer and the fallen deceived these are distinct one-from another The undeceiver is Minister of his spi-right to the soul that lieth under the alter or carnal minde which spi-right in it being set up doth see or spie all that is perishing and that which is everlasting The Lord wil have nothing to worship him but the spi-right in the soul which doth worship him discerning what it doth the man call'd Christreceivd the spi-right without measure into his soul which did spi-right-to all truth and lyes therefore it was said the Godhead in him dwelt bodily There is but one minister of the spi-right into men which doth by its ministry discover all Babell in them to its self within its self in them Nothing in man can receive the spi-right mind but the soul it being cleansed of all that is contrary to it it receiveth saith in God or spi-right of God which is the single eye everlasting truth The Father of the spi-right minde and soule will purge out the carnal mind and let nothing inhabit in his kingdom but spi-right Thus saith the spi-right that doth spy all truth and all lyes in men or in that power that is in combination to deceive his own whole creation that liveth within his own inclination he cannot deceive the spye for in it thore must live no ly or inclination to ly for it doth a ly defie saying thou shalt be reprobated for ever never to live in union with God the true spi-right to all false no spie-right or seer of truth which is the son of perdition that would be prying into all that the spi-right saith that he may be the nearest likeness as he can be to truth calling himself spi right when that he doth abominate the true spi-right that doth behold him in all his actions then he is in rage and madness and would not lose his cloke The spi-right mind saith all in the soul but me is a reprobate I do see with my single eye into thee whosoever thou be this is no mystery to the true spy but it is unto the ly that doth wonder and perish eternally All that ever did wonder was and is the reprobate at his self and at the everlasting truth The spi-right seeth all things and there is no new thing to it There is a great deceit in the interpretation of this saying no new thing under the sun Some say all things ever were as they are and that is the fool that doth expect any change in the world one generation goeth and another cometh and so it will be for ever as it is now with men living as they do in all manner of wickedness There is a truth in that saying but for this interpretation it is not of the spi-right of truth for the spi-right saith that as darknesse doth abound in men so that the light is not in them Thus saith the spi-right Light shal so abound in men that darknesse shal not be in them The spi-right is true all men are lyers There are two sowers two seeds one ground The true sower is the sower of the spi-right mind into the soul The false sower is the cumberer of the soul or ground with a false conception of a carnal mind having in it the false sowers inclination to all manner of his evils The carnal mind it is the bond-Woman that must be cast out of the soul which soul is to be the free-Woman when shee hath received the spi-right without any darkness in her Then the soul doth not groan in the strange wilderness of sin but is set free into Eternity where nothing but spi-right shall inhabit there shee is caught up into the Heaven of Heavens out of sin his sight which once with her did fight There is God spi-right And after the soul bath received the spi-right mind into it and the carnal mind done away then there is soul spi-right that seeth God it being the life of faith that it liveth which is one with God in all things seeing him face to face without any shame or disgrace There is a savour of death unto death which must be ashamed of his savouring of death because the Lord wilraign over the wicked nature The wicked nature never did savour truth nor never shal the righteous nature never did savour the wicked nature nor never will It is a clean soul that God doth savour with his true mind which is spi-right or discern right or see right with the single eye which hath in its self all light It is God the Father of life and light which doth spi-right of all things for there is nothing out of his sight by J.C.V.
