Word preached did not profit them not being mixed with Faith in them that heard it And without Faith it is impossible to please God This is my wel-beloved Son in whom I am well pleased hear him saith the Lord of his Son in whom he is well pleased in the measure of him and no other And therefore hath he given a measure of him a measure of the Spirit of him to every one to profit withal that every one in it might know how to do his Will so that he need not ask Who shall ascend into the Heaven c. Or who shall descend into the Deep to bring Christ down or up again as a thing without them Nor depend upon another to know the Will of God but as every man must be saved for himself or damned and as the Lord will require an Account of every man and as every man must give an Account to the Lord for himself not for another nor another for him as to the deeds done in the body whether they be good or whether they be evil So hath he put a measure of himself into every man that every man might have in him something of the Lord to Direct him and Guide him and lead him into that which he should do by which he might know what he is to do and how to worship God so as it may be acceptable in his sight For that which pleaseth God stands not in the will of man though it is fit there should be in the Creature a ready mind If there be first a willing mind it is accepted according to that a man hath and not according to that a man hath not 2 Cor. 8. 11. And thy People shall be willing in the day of thy Power in the beauties of Holiness from the Womb of the Morning thou hast the dew of thy Youth Psal 110. 3. My heart is fixed O God my heart is fixed I will sing and give praise Psal 57. 7. because of its Relation unto God and its Dependency on him to be ready when he moves whose Spirit is as the Wind which bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof but knowest not from whence it comes nor whither it goes So is every one saith the Son of God that is born of the Spirit Joh. 3. 8. I say that which pleaseth God in which he will be worshipped standeth not in the Will of man though it 's fit the Creature should be willing and ready when the Lord moves and in the Day of his Power it will be so as aforesaid as that which answers to God is hearkened to and obeyed by which his Power comes to be made known which makes his People willing but in the measure of him in every one which as I have said he hath placed in every one that every one may know how and in what to worship him which every one is to know and in which every one is to believe and to wait to know what is the Will and Counsel of God and how and when and after what manner and in what he will be worshipped that so it may be acceptable in his sight Let the Words of my mouth and the Meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O Lord my strength and my Redeemer Psal 19. 14. prayed the holy man of God For all other Services or things done from this measure of him in the will of man Or of the spirit that is in him that lusteth unto Envy and knows not God is as Swines flesh He that killeth an Ox saith the Lord by the Prophet is as if he slew a Man He that sacrificeth a Lamb as if he cut off a Dogs neck He that offereth an Oblation as if he offered Swines blood He that burneth Incense as if he blessed an Idol Isa 66. 3. and such must come to an account for their Services and Worships as for their Transgressions and Sins and this will be hard when in that Day a man shall find that that which he thought pleased God and he therefore did it as thinking it might please God being deceived by the Enemy to offer that and from that which is not God's from the measure of him which he requires and only accepts is Iniquity For then what is left a man in which he can hope If his Righteousness if his Worships if his Services as he thinks to God be as menstrous rags be iniquity and the Lord is weary to bear them as hath been said and it is a trouble to him and his Soul abhors them and he cannot away with it and it is an Abomination in his sight What then is left a Man wherein to hope Or wherein is it that he can say I am accepted of God seeing that in him alone in the measure of him that which comes from the measure of him Christ Jesus it is that the Lord is well-pleased and that which is done out of him out of the measure of him can have no hope in Christ Nothing that is truly so but all such hope will fail a man and that which is done out of the measure of him is not in him and that which is in him is as he is for as he is so are we in this world 1 Joh. 4. 17. and he that doth righteousness is righteous as he is righteous 1 Joh. 3. 7. And if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a New-creature Old things are passed away behold all things are become new 2 Cor. 5. 17. And this will be found so in the Day wherein the Lord will judge the Secrets of all men by the Man Christ Jesus Therefore it concerneth every one to come to and to heed and to know the measure of God in him whereby to know in what and when and how to worship him and to do that which is acceptable in his sight For God is a Spirit as I have said and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth and that which is Letter is not Spirit and therefore the manifestation of the Spirit which is given to every man to profit withal which is that which reproves that which makes manifest must of necessity be come unto heeded and believed in ere there can be a worshipping in spirit or that the Worship which is in spirit which the Father seeketh such to worship him who will be worshipped in spirit and in truth can be known For nothing is known out of its Principle and the Measure of God is the Principle of the things of God in which only God is known and the things that are of him which Principle is as aforesaid which must be come unto believed in and obeyed viz. that which reproves that which makes manifest ere that the Worship of God that which is truly so can be known or the way how to worship him who will be worshipped in spirit and in truth So hither all must come to this Principle to that which is of God in them and from
