that life that the holy men of God were in and witnesse that power that made them to tremble and Quake and Shooke the Earth and threw it downe which the World Priests People and Professors having the words declared from this power and life but not it scornes at but this is our riches THe word of the living God to fly abroad to the light of Christ in all consciences that with it the word may be witnessed and their minds may be guided up to God and kept up to Christ and it loved in which light is unity that all that which is contrary to this light may with it be hewen down judged down and condemned All whose minds turn from this light into the earth into the lust into the cursed speaking into the presumption and rauntings all such ranters with the light which is eternall doe we judge and condemne eternally for with the light they are condemned from God and all their beggarly lusts in which light we have unity which light doth not change and with it all such Ranters and rauntings must be limited bound and chained and for judgment and with the eternall to be brought under And all their great swelling words and all their boasting of their communion with God and Christ when their communion is with darknesse and they themselves the servants of corruption with that which is pure and eternall they are seen and judged and all their Imagined libertie which they are got into which ariseth out of the earthly part by the light they are seen that they have slaine the witnesses which declared against all unrighteousnesse and now their understandings are darkned and the eye put out and the savour lost and now they call all things one light and darknesse one and now their glory is to commit sin with greedinesse and saith they are redeemed into libertie with the Invisible eye of the Lord they are seen and condemned by the light and now their wills is at libertie speaks acts and thinks and the Son of perdition is head and now their Ayrie minds are puffed up and dreams of a power to come but have slighted the day of their visitation and hath turned the grace of God into wantonnesse and trampled under foot the blood of the Son of God and so are all condemned by all the Children of the light and all their filthie practises we deny and they must be troden in the wine-presse of the wrath of God without the Citie as a just recompence of their reward who blaspheme and causes to be blasphemed the name of the living God but the eternal power of the living God which is made manifest in the children of light hath seen and doe see them and judge them by that which everlasting that they shall goe into utter darknesse and down into the pit with all the uncircumcised And all such that turne from the light which is eternall and doth not change into the earth into the lust and their earthly ends who would Levell others Levelling with their earthly nature and speaking of the things of God through the lusts of the flesh with the eternall light are all such actions and practises condemned and who goe under a colour of Levelling we deny which are for the earth and which is to draw peoples mindes into the earth with the light and power which brings out of the earth do we all them and that deny but that which overturnes the earth and bringeth out of it we owne and in it we have unity which brings into the right order all the creation and the right use of all the creatures throweh down the Mountains and exalteth the vallies raiseth up the just and throweth down the unjust but that which would have ease and filthinesse and draws from the light which is pure which will keep all diligent to serve God and to levell the filthy nature and judge it down we deny and them that staine the earth and cumbers the ground with the eternall light which brings the mind up out of the earth into onenesse in the light we judge and comprehend and here is the crosse of Christ to keep the mind out of the earth up to God with the light of God and with the light to see it is the Lords and with it to receive wisdome from God to labour and to order and rule in he earth this we own this we honour and set upp in our soules which layes low and throws down and condemnes and judges all filthinesse beastlynesse and the liberty in the flesh for who witnesse the power of the Lord and the light of God it throwes down that nature among them whom the world scornfully calls Quakers But such that dwel in the light whose minds are guided up to God to receive the wisdom from God to labor in the Creation whose minds are kept out of the earth above the earth

for power and strength to cleanse the mind to purifie the heart and to witnesse the life of Christ have gotten the truth in motion and in their vain minds study to comprehend the truth and boast of
