his_o own_o flesh_n to_o we_o in_o all_o those_o outward_a dispensation_n wherein_o former_o we_o have_v enjoy_v god_n happy_o heretofore_o we_o have_v see_v much_o of_o god_n in_o our_o outward_a formal_a fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o in_o fleshly_a ordinance_n as_o baptism_n of_o water_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n but_o now_o happy_o christ_n be_v crucify_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n to_o we_o and_o we_o find_v nothing_o but_o dead_a flesh_n there_o nothing_o that_o can_v administer_v any_o spiritual_a comfort_n in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n see_v nothing_o but_o form_n &_o bare_a flesh_n bare_a water_n bare_a bread_n and_o wine_n in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o now_o confess_v that_o our_o high_a attainment_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v but_o a_o knowledge_n after_o the_o flesh_n now_o here_o lie_v christ_n crucify_v to_o all_o these_o thing_n &_o the_o soul_n dead_a to_o its_o wont_a discovery_n now_o the_o design_n of_o thy_o fleshly_a wisdom_n be_v to_o darken_v this_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o thou_o she_o can_v endure_v that_o the_o soul_n shall_v move_v out_o of_o its_o fleshly_a discovery_n for_o she_o love_v the_o outward_a order_n and_o fleshly_a decency_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o she_o will_v tell_v thou_o that_o christ_n must_v be_v find_v here_o or_o no_o where_o and_o thus_o keep_v the_o soul_n in_o bondage_n to_o herself_o in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o poor_a creature_n go_v again_o and_o again_o to_o his_o outward_a worship_n and_o yet_o find_v no_o live_v christ_n there_o nor_o be_v possess_v with_o any_o more_o comfort_n in_o they_o than_o proceed_v from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o flesh_n whereas_o indeed_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o wait_v in_o this_o dead_a condition_n for_o the_o return_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o lie_v empty_a and_o bare_a at_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n out_o of_o all_o those_o formal_a dispensation_n from_o whence_o christ_n be_v depart_v wait_v for_o the_o comforter_n and_o therefore_o my_o council_n be_v to_o all_o those_o who_o see_v christ_n dead_a to_o all_o such_o carnal_a and_o fleshly_a dispensation_n in_o they_o christian_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o thou_o shall_v renew_v thy_o strength_n christ_n must_v have_v his_o time_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n hide_v from_o thou_o in_o all_o his_o appearance_n to_o thou_o but_o this_o know_v he_o will_v see_v thou_o again_o in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a discovery_n of_o himself_o it_o be_v but_o a_o while_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v and_o will_v take_v thou_o up_o into_o himself_o above_o these_o type_n and_o figure_n he_o will_v be_v thy_o water_n and_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o thou_o he_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o substance_n and_o thou_o shall_v no_o more_o live_v upon_o the_o shadow_n thou_o shall_v live_v upon_o the_o kernel_n and_o not_o always_o be_v crack_v upon_o the_o shell_n for_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o live_v together_o with_o he_o but_o be_v sure_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o thou_o beware_v of_o the_o whore_n lest_o she_o by_o her_o appearance_n to_o thou_o in_o all_o outward_a worship_n make_v thou_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v live_v in_o all_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o thus_o in_o brief_a you_o see_v that_o this_o strumpet_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o discovery_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o now_o methinks_v by_o this_o time_n we_o may_v see_v who_o be_v the_o great_a antichrist_n that_o john_n speak_v of_o in_o his_o first_o epist_n 4._o chap._n 3._o ver_fw-la that_o every_o spirit_n that_o believe_v not_o
