To all the faithlesse generation of the world and to all who desire to know what faith and hope we live in and what faith and hope we deny THat Faith wee owne and witness is that which stands in Jesus Christ in the everlasting Covenant of light John 1.9 who is the light of the world and hath enlightened every one that cometh into the world and this light we believe and follow and by this are we led out of all the waies works and worships Iohn 8.12 of this darke world and the effect of this light we witness by faith And by this faith we deny all who say this light is not sufficient without the teaching of man to guide in all the waies of God and all such we deny Iohn 10.4.5 Tim. 4.5 for those are they who knowe not the voice of Christ and therefore here a stranger and hireling who heap up teachers having itching eares who cannot indure sound doctrine and in this Christ we believe who is our life and Salvation and all them and their faith we deny who say they have faith and their lives is not the life of Christ but live in sin and worldly pleasures and say they cannot be saved from their sins in this world but in part and this faith we deny and them 1. Iohn 3.8 Heb. 7.25 1. Timo. 1.9 for these deny the end of Christs coming in the flesh who cannot believe he is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto him and this faith is reprobate and these deny the Lord that bought them and have made shiprack of faith and a good conscience and makes the blood of Christ of no effect to them who are not cleansed by it and all them and their faith we deny who say they believe and know the will of God but they have not power Rom. 1.4.16 for that Christ in which we believe is the great power of God unto Salvation in all that believe and who hath this Christ hath power and in him we have power to do the will of God but these are they that know not Christ nor his power 2. Tim. 3.5 but run into notions and forms but deny the power and from such we turn away for such know not him in them who is greater then he that is in the world but are wi ling to serve sin and be led Captive at the divells will not minding the light and power of Christ to be guided by it and then would seeme to cast the fault on God as though he had given a Christ that was not able to set free til after death these put him to open shāe whose faith profession we deny Rom. 5.17 Rom. 1.22 Rom. 10 3.4 we deny all who say they have faith in Christ and yet their righteousness is not perfect but this faith we witness which receives the righteousness of God even the free gift of righteousness by Jesus Christ and this is perfect which is the righteousness of faith and all who have not this righteousness are in the false righteousness which is not perfect and these are short of the righteousness of God and would establish their owne righteousness and these are the Boasters who would justify themselves and dispise others Rom. 1.27 but by the righteousness of faith is boasting excluded and heer is no justifying of selfe but denying selfe and selfe righteousness exalting the righteousness of God which is perfect which is in Christ Jesus Phil. 1.9 Phil. 1.11 who is made unto us righteousness sanctification by this faith we deny all who say they have Christ and have not this righteousness but whose righteousness is unperfect and that Christ and that righteousness we deny which is not perfect and witness that Christ in which we are made the righteousness of God and this Christ is our righteousness and perfection and this faith we owne and witness which is not a talke of faith as the worlds professors who say they have faith but are dead in sin and cannot witness the work of God in them Jam. 2.26 Eph. 2.10 1. Iohn 5.4 Gal. 1.4 .. but that faith we owne which is lively by which the work of God is witnessed in us working out sin and by which we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works and this is our faith by which we overcome the world and the Divell and all you we deny who have a profession in the world and in whom the works of the Divell are brought forth and their faith and hope we deny who say they hope to be saved but live in sin making a profession and this is the hope of the hypocrite which shall perrish and not the hope of Christ for he that hath this hope of Christ purifies himselfe even as he is pure 1. Iohn 3.3 Heb. 6.19 and this faith and hope we owne which purifies the heart and enters into the place of holiness within the vaile but that which is without holiness we deny which is not in Christ but in a vaine mind Ro. 10.8 and we deny all who say they have faith and Christ and yet their word and light is without them and that word we witness which is nigh in the heart and this is the word of faith which the Apostles preached and he that hath Christ or faith hath this word which is Christ the light not in letter but in spirit and all them we deny whose law is without and morrall and that law we witness which is spirituall written in the heart and this law is perfect and endures for ever Heb. 8.10.11 Heb. 7.19 and all the Changeable laws wee deny
