Life Then the Spirit took me up and I heard a voice behind me Ezek. 3. 12 saying Blessed be the Glory of the Lord from his place Here was the Work of the Spirit in which God is glorified for it is his own Work that praises him and glorifies his great Power and excellent Name And all the while my Breath is in me and the Spirit of God Job 27. 3. is in my Heart my Lips shall not speak wickedness nor my Tongue utter deceit my Righteousness I will hold fast and will not let it go my Heart shall not reprove me as long as I do live It appears the Spirit of God in his Heart was able to preserve him and is it not now the same as ever it was from everlasting to everlasting God blessed for ever The Spirit of God hath made me and the Breath of the Job 33. 4. Almighty hath given me Life This he experienc'd hath given me Life he knew both what the Spirit of God had done and what it was then a doing a state beyond all Lifeless Forms and Shadows that are in the World And I will pour upon the House of David and upon the Zech. 12. 10. Inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and Supplication and they shall look upon him whom they have pierced and mourn for him It is not in vain then to wait for the motion of the Spirit to supplicate the Lord but many vex it and grieve it in themselves and others also it may be said they crucifie to themselves afresh the inward appearance of the Lord of Life and Glory And it shall come to pass after those days saith the Lord Joel 2. 28. I will pour out of my Spirit upon all Flesh and your Sons and your Daughters shall prophesie If the Lord has said it great reason for men to believe it and wait for it and not to be offended at it for who shall stop the Mouths of those the Lord opens Woe to the rebellious Children saith the Lord that take Isa 30. 1. Counsel but not of me that cover with a Covering but not of my spirit that they may add sin to sin Here is a Woe pronounced to the rebellious Children and that from God that cannot lye they had taken Counsel but it was ill Counsel it was such Counsel as to be rebellious and truly such Counsel is taken by the greatest part of Mankind But the Lord would have People to take Counsel of himself and be covered with his Spirit for they that are covered with Profession and with the words of other mens Experiences be but like the Fig-leaves or Fig-tree that bore no Fruit it was blasted and withered and so will all be that add Sin to Sin Therefore it is high time for all to come to Repentance and amendment of Life not to talk so very much of it but to come to it and live in the self-denyal of all false things and false ways and ill words that offend the Lord. Saith the Lord Behold my servant speaking of Christ Isa 42. 1. whom I uphold mine Elect in whom my soul delighteth I have put my spirit upon him he shall bring forth Judgment to the Gentiles The Spirit of the Lord was poured upon him without measure and the Lord delighted in him and would have all People to behold him that they may receive a Measure of his Spirit whereof Christ testified saying He shall take of mine and give it unto you and the least Measure of it if taken heed unto is sufficient to make a man an upright man For I will pour Water on him that is thirsty I will pour Isa 44. 3. my spirit upon thy seed and my Blessing upon thy Off-spring A very large Promise and in this Gospel-day we ought to look wait and hope for the fulfilling of it here is the free Love of God to the Children of Men that hunger and thirst after Righteousness they shall be filled they shall know the pouring forth of God's Spirit from Generation to Generation As for me this is my Covenant with them saith the Lord my Spirit which is upon thee and my Words which I Isa 59. 21. have put in thy mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of thy seed nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed saith the Lord from henceforth and for ever Many are the Promises of God to the Children of Men which are yea and amen in the Seed which is Christ this Seed that bruises the Serpent's Head and delivers the Soul When the Enemy shall come in like a Flood the spirit Isa 59. 19. of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him How full is the Scriptures of Truth and how many times over the Lord has said and promised to pour out of his spirit and the wonderful Effects that it would bring forth for the Sons of Men both in former Ages and also in our Age. I have set down some few of them here in great love to my Native Country that all might believe and see them as recorded in the Scriptures though one of the least whom God has reached to yet by his Grace I am a Believer believing that it is not in vain to wait upon God for the fulfilling of these many precious Promises that are left us in the holy Scriptures I shall set down a few more and for no other end but that People may endeavour to reap the real Benefit thereof Jesus saith Verily I say unto thee except a man be born of John 3. 5. water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God This new Birth here spoken of is not that Birth which is after the Flesh but the Birth which is after the Spirit which no one can know but by the Holy Spirit and he that believes therein as the Scriptures have said Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water But this John 7. 3. spake he of the spirit which they that believed in him should receive Now let us try our Belief if true then we shall know the Promise true also for the Promises of Christ and of the Spirit which he said he would send is to be expected or otherwise our not believing nor expecting of them hinders us from partaking thereof as it doth all them that do not expect the appearance of Christ in Spirit For the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers Joh. 4 23. shall worship the Father in the spirit and in the truth God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth Now let all the Worshippers in the World see what they worship for Christ said of the Temple-worshippers And to such as said in this mountain ye worship ye know not what and truly we may see by Christ's own words that all the Worshippers in the World that do not come to the Spirit are no true
