I will not obey the Kings command I will obey the Law of Moses which our fore-fathers obeyed And Daniel disobeyed Darius his command which was that Daniel should not pray and he prayed did not obey his command And the Apostles disobeyed the High Priests and Counsels command when they charged them that they should speak no more in that Name Yet in the thing that is good just and righteous the righteous alwayes have been and are ever subject to every Ordinance of man for the Lord's sake to such as were for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of them that do well that they might live a godly and peaceable life Mark a peaceable life for this cause they both prayed and paid tribute not that they should bring them into an ungodly life and an unpeaceable life but that they should punish the evil-doers that went into an ungodly life and unpeaceable for to that end were the higher Powers ordained over the ungodly that went into the ungodly and unpeaceable life for the ungodly are unpeaceable and this is for the praise of them that do well for the Law was made for transgressors not for the righteous So they that be in the higher power are to distinguish the precious from the vile for not doing so the Prophet often cried against them and when they turned against the righteous peaceable and godly then is the saying known which the Scripture speaks of What shall separate us from the love of God Shall Principalities or Powers or Thrones or Dominions Shewing that there are Principalities and Powers that would separate from the Love of God which they had in Christ Jesus and that is from a godly and peaceable Life and so there is a distinction to be subject to that which punisheth the Evil and there is a suffering by that which would separate from the love of God Now that which would separate turns the Sword backwards against the righteous and Persecutors were alwaies blind and could never see but run upon their friends in stead of their foes And therefore these things consider and distinguish God let Adam have liberty in the earth into which he was driven when he disobeyed his command and God let Cain have liberty in the earth after he had killed his Brother about Religion and God let wild Ishmael have liberty in the wilderness after he was put out of Abrahams Family the Father of the faithful and the Serpent he had his Liberty to feed upon the dust of the earth Now I say consider who are they who would not have Christ the just to live upon the earth were not they them that Christ called Serpents the Jews the great professors It was not God's mind that people should be put out of the earth God let Adam and Eve have liberty in the earth after they had transgressed though they were not to have liberty in the Garden And Ishmael though he had not liberty in Abrahams family yet he had liberty in the wilderness And Cain though he had not liberty in the presence of God yet he had liberty to be a wanderer in the land of Nod. Therefore consider what mind that is that would not let men have liberty in the Earth though he be not of your assembly yet he should have liberty in the Earth Therefore consider whether that be the mind of God or against it yea or nay though the just comes over all these things and are redeemed from the earth And if we must not meet together how must we stir up one another and edifie one another and provoke one another unto love and to good works if we must not meet together to speak one to another Consider this with understanding The world saith Kiss the Book The Book saith Kiss the Son lest he be angry And the Son saith Swear not at all but keep to yea and nay in all your communications for whatsoever is more than this comes of evil The world saith Lay your hand on the Book the Book saith Handle the Word and the Word saith Handle not the traditions inventions nor the rudiments of the world and this is my beloved Son hear ye him saith God who is the Life and the Truth and the Light and the way to God who saith Swear not at all Therefore cumber not the ground you adulterers cumber not the earth you drunkards cumber not the ground you swearers cumber not the ground you proud vain persons cumber not the earth you earthworms covetous persons cumber not the ground you oppressors and exactors and grinders of the poor cumber not the ground thou persecutor of the children of the Most High cumber not the ground ye rich gluttons cumber not the earth you idle persons that live in fulness of pleasure and abundance of idleness as the stalled Ox so as he lieth in the mire and dirt and as the full-fed horse that must be breathed with pleasures and sports and your games of all sorts and call it recreation for your idleness out of the service of the Lord for thou who art so full thou needest not work thy self down by pleasures nor go to pleasures to get thee a stomack if thou wilt work it down with labour work and chastity keeps all sweet and labouring in the fear of the Lord. Cain the first birth a persecutor the first birth a false worshipper and Cain the first birth that false worshipper turned and turneth against Abel and Cain the first birth out of his stock came up the false worshipper who was the inventer of Harps Organs Nimrods stock false worshippers and out of Ham's stock he came whose spirit was not covered with truth but with that which was from the truth and so that spirit which runs from the truth is not like Shem nor Japhet and such worship not God in the spirit And they of the old world that went from the spirit of the Lord and grieved his spirit they could not worship God in the spirit And the Philistines grieved the spirit of the Lord and they were the persecutors and they turned against the just And the Sodomites were the persecutors of the just and the Sodomites were such as lived in abundance of idleness and fulness and those that were idle and full persecuted the righteous and the just and the true worshippers and they that did and do so are the false worshippers And Ishmael and his stock the first birth who scoffed at the just and turneth against the just a persecutor and so are all wild men now And Esau the first birth the prophane person a false worshipper a persecutor of Jacob as many Esaus now persecute them whom God loveth who hate the first birth being persecutors prophane false worshippers whom God loveth not And the Aegyptians were and are persecutors and of the first birth And Balaam was a persecutor of the just and Balaam loved the wages of unrighteousness and such Balaams are now the lovers of the wages of unrighteousness and the persecutors And the Jews that professed the Law the words of God and did live out of the life of the Law of God such did and do persecute the just and such professors were alwaies and now are persecutors And alwaies such as preached for hire and devined for money and taught for filty lucre and such Shepherds Bishops and Priests that taught for the fleece and the wool and for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread and were covetous such were and are persecutors and false worshippers and persecutors of the just and the true worshippers of God in the spirit and they that did so grieved it And the Scribes Pharisees and chief Priests that had the Prophets and the Saints words and were not in the life of the Law and the Prophets and Saints and yet did profess their words such did and do persecute the just them that be in the life of the Saints And also likewise all Christians that do profess the Prophets and Christ and the Apostles and Moses and the Saints words and be out of their life spirit are the false worshippers and are the persecutors of the just and that is the end of all the profession without the Life and the Spirit of God that the Saints dwell and walk in who are the true worshippers of God in the Spirit and Truth and such as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God and the false worshippers are such as grieve the Spirit of God and yet will get the Saints words and the sheeps cloathing and not live in their life The first birth liveth in the kingdom of the world in strife a Persecutor The first birth is a birth of strife the second birth is heir of the Kingdom of the Lord and the fruits of this birth is love c. Therefore come out of the first birth to the second Cain Ham Nimrod Ishmael Esau Balaam Sadomites Philistines Pharisees chief Priests Babylon were not these envious wild prophane idle covetous oppressors persecutors false worshippers and so you that be of the same nature and of the same birth was it not and is it not the first birth If it be so know your own Kindred and come out of this Kindred Scoffers Scorners Mockers Reproachers Revilers Brawlers Railers envious Men Do you profess God and Christ These be all evil weeds and cumbers God's ground The Babylonites were and are persecutors of the Just and the true Worshippers of God and the Babylonites build up and throw down who be out of the standing Power Life and Spirit of God which the Apostles and we are in and so are not upon the Rock Christ Jesus upon which we are that changeth not GEO.

Christs Light THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO OVERCOME and EXPEL the Poison of Satans greatest TEMPTATIONS ALSO A Measuring-Rule CONCERNING LIBERTY AND PERSECUTION And who have been the PERSECUTORS and who have been the SUFFERERS from the beginning Printed in the Year 1662. Christ's Light the onely Antidote to Overcome and Expel the Poison of Satans greatest Temptations THe ground of Desperation is out of the Light Gen. 4.8 for Cain when he Despaired went from the Light that killed the just he that killed the just within killed the just without And Esau who despised his birth-right who was a profane person did seek to kill the just and he that rose up against the beloved of God David 2 Sam. 28.15 31.4 Mat. 27.5 who despaired there he rose up against the just And the Jews did despair and doubted they did not believe in the Light and were against the just though they professed all the Scriptures and Judas which despaired turned from Christ the Light to the changeable Priest so the cause of desparation is going from the Light for that which will presume will despair which riseth up in that nature which acts contrary to the Light and that is it which wanders to and fro up and down and hunts abroad and builds that which God confounds I am the light of the world Gen. 25 27. and doth enlighten every one that comes into the World saith Christ he by whom the world was made Now every one being enlightened with the Light that comes from him who is not of the world who was tempted in the world to make himself away who was tempted to lust after the Creatures who was tempted to worship the Devil who is out of the Truth but overcame all Luk. 4.9 6 5 8. Now every one of you that come into the world having a Light from him that is not of this world that was thus tempted who entered not into the temptation it is not a sin to be tempted for he was tempted but to enter into the temptation So if you see temptations with the Light that comes from Christ the Light the Truth and the Life look at him who was tempted who overcame the temptations Heb. 4.15 who was not of the world having a Light from him whose name is called The Word of God who saith If thou keep my word Rev. 3.10 I will keep ●●ee in the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world and it shall not come near thee which shall come to try all that dwell upon the earth For having a Light from the Word by which all things was made and keeping the Word the power is received against all temptations and they shall not come nigh Art thou tempted to make away thy self Rev. 3.8 so was Christ Look not at the temptations but look at Christ and there thou wilt receive power Luk. 4.3 Art thou tempted to the Creatures doth the Devil he that is out of the Truth who is a destroyer tempt thee to the Creatures Luk. 4.7 so was Christ he by whom all things was made Art thou tempted to worship the Devil Doth the Devil who is out of the Truth tempt thee to worship him Heb. 2.10 look to Christ he was tempted who overcame Look to him who overcame Joh. 14.6 he is the Captain of our Salvation So every one having a Light from Christ Jesus which is given to him to watch and to pray and to seek and to knock after Christ who is the Door the Way the Life the Covenant of Peace So look not at the temptations but at Christ neither be troubled at them but look to him from whom your strength comes Isa 45.22 that lets you see them and there stand still for there Salvation is received and your strength Have you made a Covenant with death Isa 28.16 17 18. who contrary to the Light in your Consciences have acted Have you made Covenants with Hell and the Grave and Satan which is out of the Light Isa 42.6 out of the Truth and that is the Devil that is out of the Truth the destroyer the devourer Therefore being turned to the Light which comes from Christ the Covenant of God Isa 49.9 God's Covenant of Light there waiting the Covenant of death is broken and in it believe for there Gods mercy is received against which Covenant Hell gates cannot prevail let her open her mouth never so wide and all the bonds of iniquity promises which you have made with the fleshly mind and the lusts being turned to the Light the Covenant of Life breaks all the bonds and the promises of the fleshly mind Therefore in patience wait in the Light which comes from Christ the Covenant of peace which ye may receive Lam. 3.26 to have peace with God and never look at the temptations but at the Light which shews them and there stand still to receive power from him from whom all power is received for that which is out of the Truth that tempts to draw from the Light and from the Truth and out of it therefore every one having the Light from Christ who is not of the world which is come into the world that will let you see the temptations Thou that keepest my word John 17 16. they shall not come nigh thee but power shall be received to trample upon all And the worship in the Spirit and Truth will be known Rev. 5.10 and the wisdom by which all the Creatures were created will be received with it to use them to the glory of God John 8.44 to which end they were created and that which is out of the Truth which tempts to murther Mat. 11 29. for that is the murtherer which is out of the Truth and out of the Light will with the Light be seen judged and condemned but before he will lift up and exalt and the same will bring to despair But learn of Christ the Light who is meek and lowly and he is kept out and down who is out of the Light But before this he will tempt into the creatures to get into the creatures he who from the Light and from the Life and so a devourer of them and so out of the wisdom by which they were created therefore as I said before wait in the Light which comes from Christ the Life that with it ye may come to receive refreshing from the Lord and to know the wisdom of the Creation with which it must be used to the glory of the Creator So having a Light from him by whom the world was made to whom all power in Heaven and Earth is given wait in the Light from him to receive power which brings out of the worlds lusts and defilements John 9.51 which the Light which cometh from him will shew you all the temptations to the creatures or obeying the will of him that is out of the Truth but you will come to
