to a lost Groat which could not be found till the Woman had lighted the Candle and swept her House and he compared it to a certain Lord who went into a far Country who called his own Servants and delivered unto them his Goods and unto one he gave five Talents and unto another two and unto another one Talent to every man according to his several Ability and streight-way took his Journey then he that had received the five Talents went and traded with the same and made them other five Talents and likewise he that had received two gained also other two but he that had received one went and digged in the Earth and hid his Lord's Money after a long time the Lord of those Servants cometh and reckoneth with them and so he that had received five Talents came and brought other five Talents saying Lord thou deliveredst unto me five Talents behold I have gained besides them five Talents more his Lord said unto him Well done thou good and faithful Servant thou hast ●een faithful over a few things I will make thee a Ruler over many things enter thou into the Joy of thy Lord and he also that had received two Talents came and said Lord thou deliveredst unto me two Talents behold I have gained other two Talents besides them and his Lord said unto him Well done thou good and faithful Servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee Ruler over many enter thou into the Joy of thy Lord then came he which had received the one Talent and said Lord I knew thee that thou art an hard man reaping where thou hast not sown and gathering where thou hast not strewed I was afraid and went and hid thy Talent in the Earth lo there thou hast that is thine his Lord answered and said unto him Thou wicked and sloathful Servant thou knowest I reaped where I sowed not and gathered where I strewed not thou oughtest therefore to have put my Money to the Exchangers and then at my coming I should have received mine own with Usury take therefore the Talent from him and give it to him that hath ten Talents for unto every one that hath shall be given and he shall have abundance but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath and cast ye the Unprofitable Servant into utter Darkness where shall be Weeping and Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth And he compared the Kingdom unto Ten Virgins and to many other things which would swell into a great Volumn to declare and open the Mysteries thereof Now all this was to be found within man for there he told them the Kingdom was whereunto this was likened and he advised them to strive to enter into the Kingdom and told them The Gate was streight and the Way was narrow which leads into it but the Way was broad the Gate wide that leads into Destruction yet nevertheless for all this the god of the World blinded their Eyes and their Hearts were still hardened although there were some that bore witness to their Faces whom they had sent unto Christ to seek to ensnare him by Words and testified That never man spake like unto him yet for all this the Enmity came to burn the more violently in them against him which Enmity arose from the Seed of the Serpent which lodg'd in them wherby they sought Oportunity that they might by any Means put him to death which was not unknown to him who was the express Image of God the Father in whom the Godhead dweltbodily so that he was the Searcher and Discerner of the Heart and by his Light he makes manifest the Secrets thereof for he saw through the Pharisees who made large Profession of God the Father but yet they rebelled against the Son of God whom he had sent a Light into the World therefore he pronounced Wo against them calling them Blind Leaders of the Blind and Hypocrites and Whited Walls and likening them unto Painted Sepulchres which outwardly made a fair shew but inwardly were full of Rottenness telling them that they washed the Outside of the Platter but the Inside remained full of Filthiness and that they paid Tythes of Cummin Mint and Annise when they omitted the weightier Matters even Justice and Judgment these are they that in outward Appearance did walk as to the Law blameless yet Christ warn'd his Disciples to beware of the Leven of these great Professors who did all to be seen of Men they made Long Prayers in the Synagogues and loved the Chiefest Place in the Assemblies and Greetings in the Market-place and would not keep Company with Publicans nor Sinners but cry'd out against Christ because his Disciples did eat with Publicans and Sinners yet nevertheless Christ told his Disciples that unless their Righteousness did exceed the Righteousness of these High Professing Scribes and Pharisees they should in no wise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and he many times did dispute with these Professors who sate in Moses's Chair but they being Carnally-minded could not understand him because he spoke unto them in a spiritual Sense therefore what was spoken by him unto them was as Parables which they could not understand and many times his Sayings were so hard amongst them that them that believed on him could not understand for even his Disciples whereof he had chosen twelve particularly unto himself many times asked him in private what might be the Meaning of what he had spoke to them in publick And he sent forth many of his Disciples to declare his Name abroad in the World and that they should publish That CHRIST the M●s●ias who was the Redeemer of the World which the Prophets prophesied should come that now he is come a Light into the World that whosoever believes in him should no longer remain in Darkness and he fore-told to them the Destruction of their Temple and temple-Temple-worships and that he was come to put an End to it all and that they should no longer worship him at Jerusalem nor in the Mount at Samaria but he that will worship the Father must worship him in Spirit and in Truth and that such the Father seeks to worship him and that God was and is a Spirit and those that will worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth and he told his Disciples that he had chosen them twelve and yet one of them was a Devil and he fore-told them that he should be betrayed by one of them into the Hands of Sinners and that they should be all offended because of him but honest-hearted Peter who was one of the 12. told him from the pure Simplicity that lodged in his Heart that though they all should forsake him yet he would not but Christ saw how secretly the Seed of the Serpent lodged in him so answered him that before the Cock should crow he would deny him thrice and he told them that the Shepherd should be smitten and the Sheep

the Fruits of Death whereon he feeds and is in some sort satisfied for he dares not approach unto the Tree of Life because the Angel of the Lord's Presence standeth with the flaming sword ready lifted up even the righteous Law which still layes hold on him when at any time he approaches near unto the Tree of Life this cuts him down so that he at all Times remains in Death and feeds upon the Fruits thereof this is the true State and Condition of the first Adam who hath lost himself and is fallen from God his Maker But now the second Adam whom the Lord is creating and whom he hath created even after his own Image in Righteousness and true Holiness who was and is the first born among many Brethren even Christ the Son of the living God who puts an End to Transgression and destroyes Sin and sayes O Death I will be thy Death and fulfills the Royal Law in all things and passeth through the flaming sword for the Fire cannot touch him but he has free Access to the Tree of Life and feeds plentifully upon the Fruit thereof and so lives forever and nothing will satisfie him but the very Life it self And this is the true Condition of the second Adam who is the true Heir of all things Now he that comes to have this Babe begotten in him that which hath begot him will bring him forth for shall I bring to the Birth and not bring forth saith the Lord now he that comes to be born of this Birth and to have his Life to stand in this he shall with this come to eat of the Tree of Life for this is he that shall enter in at the streight Gate into the City whose Builder is God Therefore if thou feelest any thing in thee which stirs and moves in thee against sin and against the very Appearance of Evil there lies the seed out of which this Babe is formed and therefore as it is as yet but weak as in Appearance to thee thou oughtest to be tender over it even more tender then the Mother that is newly conceived is over the tender Fruit of her Womb and beware of bruising of it and of smothering of it for a small thing will offend it and choak it but as thou art tender over it and with Carefulness dost cherish it and come to take Delight in it thou wilt find it to grow daily and encrease in thee from strength to strength but thou must beware that thou dost not at any time lay any Burden upon it whereby it may be offended for if thou dost thou wilt come into Condemnation for the same and thou wilt come to suffer Loss in thy self which Loss will not easily be regained for thou wilt find Deadness and Barrenness to arise up in thee and the Dread and Terror of the Lord will take hold daily upon thee until the Lord hath executed his Vengeance upon that which hath oppressed his seed for thou must assuredly come to know a day of Vengeance in thee to light upon the Head of the Transgressor and a Night of s●rrow before thou canst know the day of Joy and Gladness Therefore if thou wilt give up freely to let the Seed of God go free to serve the Lord its God in Truth and Righteousness and wait in Patience to see the Oppressor judged and condemned in thee and to see the Vengeance of the Lord to be laid upon the Head of the Transgressor and so to become one with that which judgeth and executes the fierce Wrath and Indignation of the Lord upon that which oppresseth the righteous Seed in thee Now if thou become one with the Lord in this and give up thy self willingly in Obedience to him then a short Work will the Lord make in the Earth and thou shalt come to see him whom thy Soul loveth who now doth but spring up in thee as a Lilly among Thorns but when he comes to be brought forth he will be the fairest amongst ten thousand and this is Christ in thee the Hope of Glory and thou wilt come to live in him and he in thee and so thou wilt come to live in the Life that was before Sin was and before Transgression was and shall be when Sin and Transgression is destroyed and shall be no more and then thou wilt come to witness old things to be done away and all things to become new a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness and thou wilt come to witness God's Will to be done in thy Body of Earth as it is in Heaven and his Kingdom in thee to be come and established and his Power made known in thee to the destroying of the Power of Sin and Satan and his Glory to be made known in thee to the setting forth of his eternal Praise in the midst of all his Enemies and this is declared by many who are faithful Witnesses of it according to the Measure which the Lord hath freely been pleased to give and bestow upon them and this do they witness to be an eternal Truth according as the Spirit of the Lord God of Truth hath revealed it unto them for they never received from Man neither by Man but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ who leads into the Path of Light and Life all that are willing and obedient to follow him now these things are deep and hidden Mysteries to them that yet remain in Darkness but if thou canst but read the Scriptures singly without adding thereunto thy own or any other Mans Imaginations they testifie of him that hath the Life in him and they declare how the two Births have been brought forth in all Ages which Births came from the two Seeds even the Seed of the Promise and the Seed of the Serpent and between these two Seeds there is an everlasting Enmity placed so that they can never be reconciled one to the other but still arise one to destroy the other but at last the Seed of the Woman must and will get the Victory for that must come to bruise the Seed of the Serpent's head although the other bruise his Heel for a short Space now see the Seed of the Serpent brought forth by the first Birth in Cain how the Enmity comes to work in him so that he came as it were to murder Abel the second Birth which was brought forth of the Seed of the Promise and wherefore was it but because the Sacrifice that was offered up by the promised Seed was accepted and his the Seed of the Serpent was not therefore Cain the first Birth who as in Reference to his outward Birth after the Flesh was therein his Brother but yet he being ruled by the contray Seed to Abel the Enmity caused him to rise up and to murder innocent Abel and then he became a Fugitive and a Vagabond upon Earth all his Dayes not having an Habitation in God although he builded a City and call'd it by his Son's Name so here
