THE Royal Law of GOD REVIVED Wherein You may see That all Nations of Men may keep in it a Royal Society and by obeying the Principl● of God in them which brings Men to do the Roya● Law and to do unto all men as they would have al● men to do unto them which Royal Law of God answers that of God in every Man and Woman in th● whole World which they transgressing are judged by the Royal Law of God in doing that unto others as they would not have others do unto them and they to be without natural Affections which Royal Law brings all men to have Natural Affections and to do unto all men as they would have them to do unto them G. F●● Jam. 2.8 If ye fulfil the Royal Law according to the Scripture Thou shalt Love thy Neighbour as thy self ye do well ●●t 7.12 Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them Printed in the Year 1671 2 Who they are that break this Royal Law of God Them that Quench Vex and grieve the good Spirit of God and hate the Light of Christ and walk despightfully against the Spirit of Grace and make Shipwrack of Faith and of a good Conscience And also They are them that keep the Royal Law of God that walk in the Spirit of God and in Faith and a good Conscience and love the Light Christ who inlightens every man that comes into the World The Royal Law of God Revived c. ALL People upon the Face of the whole Earth both High and Low Rich and Poor know that as the Apostle Paul saith Acts 15.26 God hath made of one Blood all Nations of Men for to dwell on all the Face of the Earth So all Men and Women are of God's making his Workmanship and the Works of his Hands and Creation and he it is that gives Life and Breath unto all And hath determined the Times before appointed and the Bounds of their Habitations saith he And saith Moses Deut. 32.8 The Most High divided to the Nations their Inheritance when he separated the Sons of Adam c. And the Psalmist acknowledgeth Psa 24.1 The Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof the World and they that dwell therein which he hath distributed unto the Sons of Men. And the Lord is called The God of the Spirits of all Flesh Num. 27.16 And so saith likewise the Apostle Eph. 4.6 One God and Father of all who is above all through all and in you all Now seeing the Lord hath made all Nations of Men and Women upon the Earth of one Blood and Mould to dwell upon the Face of the Earth and that the Earth is the Lord's and the Fulness thereof and he gives the encrease and hath distributed unto the Sons and Daughters of Adam What then is the matter that makes a Discord amongst all the Sons and Daughters of men but the Devil the Cause of all Discord who is out of Truth and so leads them out of Unity with God and with one another so that they cannot Commerce Trade and hold a Correspondence a Concord in Civil things of the Creation of the Earth seeing the Earth is the Lord's and the Fulness thereof that all Nations of Men cannot hold a Commerce Unity and Concord I say in these outward things though they cannot agree in and about Matters of Religion and Worship and abou● their Teachings and Wayes What is the matter now that they do not agree seeing there is no Discord nor Disagreement in the Way of the Lord which is Christ Jesus the Heavenly Man who is the Way to God the Father Neither is there any Disagreement in the Fellowship of the Spirit nor in the Worship nor in the Spirit nor in the Truth And therefore are not all the Disagreements and Discords throughout all the World about Religions Worships and Doctrines about I say such as men have made which are called National Worships National Wayes and National Religions that are all the Works of Mens hands And there are such a Multitude of them in all the Nations of the World which hinders them from Civil Commerce Civil Society of Natural Affections that ought to be amongst Mankind For where these Natural Affections or Affections of Nature are not they will destroy one another about their Religions Worships and Ways and certainly such doings are not of God nor of Christ who said to his Disciples when they would have had Fire to come down from Heaven to consume them that would not receive him That they did not know what spirit they were of Therefore do all people that Persecute others for not receiving their Doctrines their Worships their Wayes and Religions yea persecuting for not receiving of Christ they know not what Spirit they are of Now mark the tender Nature of Christ Who saith he came not to destroy mens lives but to save them Therefore they that would have mens lives taken away for Religion or not receiving of Christ They have not the Affections of Nature 2d They do not know what spirit they are of themselves 3d They have not the Mind of Christ 4th No man will trust his Body Soul or Spirit in the hands of such that do not know what spirit they are of themselves Have any of all these that make Religions VVayes and Worships and Doctrines of their own any Affections to Nature who will destroy people because they will not conform to that Religion VVay and VVorship that they have set up As now look over all the whole VVorld and all the Religions therein and see and consider Who they are that have destroyed burnt and put to death such as would not conform to the Religion and VVay and VVorship that they have made And have not these first been Truce-Brea●●●●● to and with God and then with Man and fallen from that Religion that is from above and from his Religion his VVorship and Truth his VVay Christ Jesus and then the Devil entred them who hath led them to destroy one another about their Religions VVayes and their VVorships which they have set up and were not set up by the Lord but forbidden by Christ and saith the Apostle He is not worshipped with the Worships of Mens Hands Acts 17.24 who is Lord over all and would have all Repent and feel after him and so to Repent as to change from their Worships and the Works of their own hands the Religions the Worships and Wayes that they have made and come to God by Christ Jesus who is the VVay to God and so through him receive that Religion that is from above and so to worship God in the Spirit and in the Truth And is there any Religion to be owned or any VVorship from such which are without Natural Affections And is it not the Devil that makes Religions VVayes and VVorships and leads them to be so peevish about them and in a blind Zeal to contend so earnestly for them which brings
