Of that Eternal Breath begotten and brought forth not of flesh blood nor of the will of man but by the Father of spirits which according to his own wil worketh to wil to do of his good pleasure when or in whom he pleaseth AM I moved to warn you the Parishioners of Ashted all others as opportunity is given who as you in the darkness are and know not what you are doing nor whether you are going who from the light are out of the Covenant and so not taught of God but are alwayes learning as silly Women but never come to the knowledge of the truth that he who is righteous in all his Judgements and faithful in all his promises who was dead but is alive is risen in great power and is dreadful to all his enemies rendringvengeance on all that know him not and yet wills that all men would repent and live so loving the world that he hath given his onely begotten a light into the world that whoso comes to him shall not abide in darkness And this is the common salvation which was and is declared by all sent of him who is no respecter of persons but will be worshipped in truth and in spirit and for such worshippers doth he now seek every where all other Worship being an abomination Who hath required them at their hands saith the Lord who in his Son onely is well pleased and though in the day of darknesse God winked yet now having visited from on high with his day-spring you that sit in darkness and in the Regions of death requires all to return from the darkness to the light with which you are enlightened which convinces of sin and condemnes the evil doer that by his Judgements the soul may be redeemed And this is no new invented Fable or error as your Hireling teachers tell you who are talking of a Gospel and are found fighters against the true and everlasting Gospel which Moses and the Apostles were witnesses of which is nigh and not far off the gift of God freely not sold or bought for money as those deceivers would make you believe who are upholding the first Priesthood by taking tythes and so deny Christ come in the flesh as Pope Prellate Priest though in words confessing yet in works deny him that come to put an end to the first that he might consecrate to himself a new and a living way which way in the light is seen and learned and the Scriptures declare of it say not who shall ascend on high and fetch him down or go down into the depths and fetch him up for he is neer thee in thy heart and in thy mouth and this is the Gospel Paul taught who was called of God and not of men and sent to turn people from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God and I of grace being made a witness of the same Gospel and an heir of the same Covenant as moved of God call on you to come thereto that in the light you may behold the way of the just for the wicked are posting to destruction and being in the darkness know not where you are nor whether you go and that you are there in your worships and meetings hath been confest to by your teacher whom when I met coming to visit William Burcheds wife would have past by me but I calling to him to hear me he hasted away as formerly and with anger asked me Why I sat all that while in darkness meaning while I sat and heard him in his Pulpet sayes he Thou heardest darkness why didest not thou speake afore but sat in darkness all that while thou heardest me so people if as by his own confession I sat in darkness and heard darkness who heard him but an hour on that day what do you that hear him weekly and think you serve God in it truly they that hearken to darkness hearken to the devil who is the Prince of darkness and they that sit in darkness si● in the kingdome of the Devil who rules in darkness and I confess I did heare darkness there and the fruits of darkness were manifest and I in the light saw the darkness and had power to witness against the Doctrine of darknes and in the same power should have proved it to be a Doctrine of darkness by plain Scriptures had he not fled when feare surprized him as it will do all that are in darkness And so teacher and people who teach and hear in darkness of the Lord who is light are you warned once more and while you have time prize it to turn from the darkness and to the light attend which condemns the darkness and leads out of it and by it onely is the knowledge of God gained and by it onely is power obtained over death and over him that hath the power of death the devil for Christ the light was and is manifest to destroy the wor●s of the devil the works of darkness and this must you know obey and believe in which convinces of sin and calls out of the worlds wayes and worships which are in the darknesse ere the promise you can obtain which makes partakers of the divine nature and in Christ Jesus is the yea and Amen which all who in the darknesse are are resisting and striving against for he is light yea the true light which enlightens every man that comes into the world and by this onely can man and woman fallen from God come to see what they were where they are and whether they are going and by this which is the truth in the inward parts onely can man and woman be free'd from the bonds of darknesse and by the light only must the powers of darknesse be brought under and consumed for there is no other name for salvation but the light and truth Christ Jesus whose first appearance is to destroy sin in the flesh Mind it people hath not the grace of God appeared to you all doth it not yet strive with many of you shewing your unrighteousness and calling out of it verily this is it that hath and doth teach the children of light to deny all ungodlynes and worldy lusts and to walk soberly righteously and godyl in this present world that of this you might be taught led by it out of the snares of the Devill hath the Lord sent his servants to call you out of darkness and to beare witness against all that deceive your souls by false Doctrines and fained speeches which have run and God never sent them therefore they profit you not who make Merchandize of your souls vvho sel the Scriptures for money these are they of whom the Scripture speaks that feed upon the sheep but feed not the sheep they send for their gain from their quarter and if they have it not they raise war against you is it not so An horrible thing is committed in the Land the Priests preach for hire and the people love to
