The first and second Priesthood declared according to the Scriptures that both Priests Professors and People may come to see with the Light of Christ which Priesthood this belongs to THE first Priesthood and its Ministry stands without and consisteth of the outward things The second Priesthood and its Ministry stands within and consisteth of the inward work and Paul who was made a Minister of the Spirit which is within he said VVork out your salvation with fear and tremhling 2 Cor. 5. 6. Phil. 2. 12. The first Priesthood being made in the time of the Oath under which Priesthood the swearing is upheld and the people continue in the swearing and in he strife The second Priesthood is made with the Oath the confirmation thereof is the end of all strife debate and dissention and the end of the lust from whence the wars fightings and vain janglings doth arise and the confirmation of this Oath and the second Ministry which is confirmed by this Oath puts an end to all Oaths and swearing the Word of the Oath being come and become flesh which Word was before the Oath and the world and since the Law which Word maketh the Son who saith Swear not at all Heb. 6. 15. 16 Heb. 7. 20. Matt. 5. 34. Jam. 5. 12. The first Priesthood and its Ministry under the first Covenant had a command to receive tythes of the people yet they were not to sue people at the Law if they did not bring the tythes but were to receive the tythes and offrings when they were brought their command was to receive them and these tythes were given unto the stranger unto the fatherless and to the widow that they might eat and be filled as well as the Levite and the Priest Deut. 26. 12 13. Now that Priesthood must needs be of Antichrist which is not agreeable to the first Priesthood and it is also contrary to Christ Luk. 10. 4 5 6 7. 2 Cor. 6. 3. and so on 2 Joh. 9. 1 Joh. 2 22. The second Priesthood and its Ministry is of the New Covenant where the Law is changed by which the first is made and this is not of the world neither upheld nor maintained by the things of the world neither is made by a carnal Commandment but by the power of an endless life Heb. 7. 16. Matt. 10. 7 8 9. Gal. 1. 12. 16. The first Priesthood is after the flesh where the lusts are not crucified whence the wars and fightings comes where the likenesses are found among such as are not come to the substance for Abraham came from the wars and gave the tenth of the spoyles unto him who was made like unto the son of God Heb. 7. 3. Heb. 8. 5. Genesis 14. 18. The second Priesthood who is of the Spirit who comes of Abraham according to the flesh is the Power of God and the substance of the former likenesses which substance being come it puts an end to the wars and so an end to the spoylings and also an end to all that which causeth the spoyles and if so then an end to that of which tythes were first given and so the substance of the likenesses being come the Blessing is received in him and the multiplyings known and the increases of God witnessed and the spoyles divided at home the strong man being bound and his Goods spoyled Heb. 12. 22 23 24. 1 Thess 3. 12. Collossians 2. 17 18 19. The first Priesthood is of the first Covenant which makes nothing perfect and stands without as in Tables of Stone and divers Ordinances written by Moses a Minister of that Law which condemns and yet is glorious in its time 2 Cor. 37. 8 9. Hobrews 7. 9. The second Priesthood is of the New Covenant which is written in the Tables of the heart by a Mediator of a better covenant in which Covenant there is a coming to be presented perfect in the head unto which by the Ministry of the word of life they come to be joyned 2 Cor. 3. 2 3. Jer. 31. 33. Heb. 8. 6. The first Priesthood stands in divers washings and carnal Ordinances until the time of reformation until which time the outward ordinances yet standeth and the outside Worships yet are which worship being daily performed yet the daily comers to these Ordinances are not made perfect as pertaining to the conscience Heb. 9. 10. The second Priesthood is eternal purging the conscience from dead works whereby also the spirit of truth is received and so the worship in spirit and in truth is known which worship the Lord delighteth in and such seek the Lord and find him and he is merciful to their iniquities and their sin he remembers no more but they are blotted out as a thick Cloud and so being made free from sin and become the servants of Righteousness then fruit and service is brought forth and performed unto God well pleasing in his sight Heb. 9. 14. 1 Cor. 6. 11. Rom. 6. 22. The first Priesthood stands in divers and carnal Offrings for sin and confessions of sin Morning and Evening and yet the sin not taken away Heb. 7. 22. Heb. 10. 1. 11. The second Priesthood stands in one offring for sin whereby the sin is taken away Zach. 13. 1. 1 Ioh. 1. 7. Revel 1. 5. Rom. 6. 2. 7. 18. Heb. 10 17. Under the first Priesthood the vail is over the heart and they that are there cannot see to him that is the end of the Law who is made under the Law to redeem them that are under the Law 2 Cor. 3. 13 14 15. Under the second Priesthood the vail is rent and the broken heart is known with whom God is and so him that is entered within the vail is seen even him that is the end of the Law and the Prophets Heb. 9. 24. Heb. 10. 20. The first Priesthood hath the Shewbread which the carnal eye may see and the natural man perceive and so the Worship stands in outward shew in some form and place where the life is not and such may worship they know not what being not come to the truth which makes free to worship in Heb. 9. 1 2. Joh. 4. 22. The second Priesthood hath the bread of Life which comes down from Heaven and gives life the which bread being not in outward shew was not onely hid from the Scribes and Pharisees who had the Oracles of God outwardly but also from them that professeth Christ without them only for there is a time wherein Christ is known after the flesh or without therefore saith Christ He that is with you shall he in you Ioh. 14. 17. Ioh. 6. 35. 60. The first Priesthood though made by a Law of God which Law stands outwardly the Priests being Ministers of the Law and not come to Christ but are out of his Doctrine This was sound Doctrine Matt. 23. and so are found themselves Transgressors of the same Law which they teach to others therefore the Lord declares

and nayled down to the cross whereby the Principalities and Powers are spoyled by the Power of the Word that becomes flesh whereby those things that were in shew are triumphed over and nayled down to the cross through which the Life comes to be raised and so Christ Jesus the Son of God comes to be revealed and made manifest being quickned in the spirit and so no more to know Christ after the flesh but in that which is raised up through the cross unto which the shews and shadows of things are nailed down so the Doctrines of Baptism and Repentance from dead works are left behind and those things that are left behind are forgotten and there is a pressing forwards to perfection by the Ministry of the second Priesthood wherein every man is to be presented perfect in Christ Jesus in whom there is a growing from grace to grace and a changing from glory to glory by the same spirit having received of his fulness Col. 2. 10 11 12 13 14 15. Rom. 6. 3 4 5 6 7 8. Heb. 6. 1 2. 1 Pet. 3. 22. 2 Cor. 3. 18. In the time of the first Priesthood the patterns of the heavenly things are purified with the outward blood the transgression being without and the Law without and so here is the outward washings with the outward water and the set-dayes of Purification and these things were to be done often because of the continual transgression of that Law which stood without which comes to be fulfilled and the Justice satisfied by that without and so the patterns of things in the heavens comes to be purified with these outward washings and outward sprinklings and did not Christ Jesus suffer without the gate Heb. 9. 23. Col. 2 23. and the Law being without hath the shadow and yet not the Image therefore far short of Christ the substance Heb. 10. 1. In the time of the second Priesthood the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices then these Heb. 9. 33. which served to the purifying of the patterns and the heavenly things themselves being purified with the living sacrifice so the way into the holyest of all is known which is not manifested under the first Priesthood Heb. 9. 8. and so there is an entrance made into the believers rest Heb. 4. 3. 10. Rev. 14. 13. where the seed of Abraham sits down in the Fathers kingdome which consisteth of righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Ghost Rom. 14. 17. and so as there is a coming to feel the power of the second Ministery preaching to the spirit in prison 1 Pet. 3. 19. 1 Cor. 1. 24. and so to quicken them that were dead in sin Eph. 2. 1. by whose quickning power the seed comes to be raised up together with Christ the head who sits at the Fathers right hand in the heavenly places Eph. 1. 20 which are purified and prepared for the faithful who comes to sit down with Christ in the heavenly places Eph. 2. 5 6. John 17. 21 22 23 24. And as the heavenly things of the heavenly places are purified and the entrance into the rest ministred so Christ comes to be seen exalted at the Fathers right hand in the heavenly places above all principalities and powers which are spoyled being the head over all things Eph. 1. 21 22. And so there is a ruling over all that which stands in outward show the which Christ made a show of openly triumphing over them in it Col. 2. 15. and if there be a triumphing over these things which are in show before the entrance into the holyest of all be made how much more are the outward showes triumphed over and the principalities spoiled when the way into the holiest of all is made manifest by the power of him who is gone into the heavens and is on the right hand of God Angels and Authorities and Powers being made subject unto him 1 Pet. 3. 22. In the time of the first Priesthood the rule is without and such as are there resist the Spirit within yet profess the Scriptures without and not resist them but resist the inspiration which gave them forth and yet are zealous for their rule without being yet blinde like Saul even persecuting them in whom the Spirit of Truth bares rule which Spirit they being not come unto to open the eye and lead them into all truth are found out of their rule which they so much talk of read and see James 1. 26. 2 Cor. 5. 17.

In the time of the second Priesthood a measure of the spirit of truth is owned received within which whoso follows walks not in darkness Ioh. 8. 12. the which leads into all truth and orders and rules the Creature in the seare of him who is the God of order whereby the strong holds are broken down and every thought comes to be subjected unto Christ 2 Cor. 10. 4 5. who rules over all and upholds all things by the word of his power Heb 1. 3. who hath given to every man a manifestation of the Spirit 1 Cor. 12. 7. and a proportion of faith Rom. 12. 6. Christ being all and in all Gal. 3. 28. Col. 3. 11. and as every man hath received Christ Joh. 9. 9. so to walk in him Col. 2. 6. according to the same rule already attained Matth. 25. 21. and to mind the same things already received that is the cause Phil. 3. 16 17. and mark them that walks so and not go beyond the measure of what they have received but be faithful in it as good stewards of the manifold graces of God Titus 2. 10. and such as walk according to that rule grace mercy and peace be to them and to all the Israel of God 2 Cor. 10. 12. 13. vers Written by a servant of Jesus Christ the onely high Priest and Minister of life for whose sake he suffers in outward bonds at Dorcester this 28. day of the first Month 57. who is dispised persecuted and imprisoned by the world called Humphrey Smith The End
