sons and daughters of God is a work that is carried on by Degrees as Christ hath shewed and set it forth in many Parables shewing the smalness of its beginning as to the sence and apprehension of the Creature in whom it is begun The Kingdom of God in the unregenerate is Compared to a grain of Wheat cast into the Earth which first suffers or dyes but in its suffering or dying brings forth the fruit of its own kind first the blade then the ear then the full or â—ipe Corn in the Ear It is also Compared to a grain of Musâ—ard Seed cast into the Earth which being small yet in the Appointed season of him that gives the increase brings forth fruit plentifully Again it is Compared to Leaven put in three measures of Meal till the whole was Levened Again it is Compared to a Net cast into the Sea which gather good and bad to the shore and gathers the good into Vessels but casts the bad away Observe still here is a glorious Order in the work of mans Regeneration and Restoration to God Man who is turned from Darkness to Light from Sathans power to God with the Light he is come to see his sin Now he is to wait to know God who is a Consuming fire to sin and wickedness to appear in him to burn up and Consume his Sins to Slay that Dragon or Serpent in him who has led him into Sin and hath kept him in it and caused him to take pleasure in the same Now he is to wait to know the Mighty Liveing Dreadful God to appear in him as a refiners fire and as Fullers soap Now he is patiently to bear the Indignation of the Lord because he hath sinned untill he hath Mercy on him for he will not Contend forever with the Repenting believing Penitent ones because he delights in Mercy Now he that thus believes waits and submits to the Chastising hand of the Lord doth not always Continue under his rebukes Chastisement or Judgment in the midest of Judgment he remembers Mercy to such under Judgment he supports the Spirits of these Contrite ones he strengthens them in this Winter season and he Leads them through it as a man of God hath written Behold the Winter is over and gone the time of Rejoycing is come and the voice of the Turtle is heard in our Land Thus they that have set their faces Sion-wards and are travelling with their faces thither-wards go on and grow from glory to glory from strength to strength from one degree in the grace of Christ Jesus unto another untill they appear in Sion in perfect beauty so these are not like a Dwarff that doth not grow for a Dwarff was by the Law of God forbiden to be a Priest and so was a Lepor but such who believe wait and grow as aforesaid are not as the Dwarff or Lepor and Diseased who are all Corrupt from the Crown of the Head to the Sole of the Foot and who hath no Health in them as they say but these are come to Christ the Physician of Value yea the saving Health of all Nations as it s written of him though these can do nothing of themselves yet they can do all things through Christ that strengthens them which the Apostle knew and writ of These have put on the Lord Jesus Christ These make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the Lust thereof these are strengthened by Christ who is Gods glorious power and wisdom in their Inward man as it s written these grow strong in the Lord by degrees these put on the whole Armor of God by which they are defended from all the fiery Darts of the Devil these are made Conquerors in Christ who Destroys the Devil and his works in them To these is given the Spirit of Praise instead of that of heaviness these are returned to Sion with songs of diliverance and Everlasting joy amongst these God reigns in and through them he shines to enlighten the dark World which lyes in wickedness Thus it s written Out of Sion the perfection of beauty God hath shined Again the Apostle writing of the Beautiful Order of the work of God in Heaven Earth saith There is one Glory of the Sun and another Glory of the Moon and another Glory of the Stars for one Star differeth from another Star in Glory so also is the Resurrection of the dead 1 Cor. 15. 41 42. Observe here what the Apostle hath written concerning the Different Order of the Sun Moon and Stars in Heaven saith so is the Resurrection of the dead shewing that the several States and Conditions of those whom Christ hath Quickened or raised in some degree from death to life do also differ in their several degrees of growth in Life Stature and Strength and accordingly do differ in their gifts and places and glory and beauty in the Resurrection from Death to Life Christ said to them whom he had Quickened I am come that you might have life and that you may have it more abundantly Againe The Psalmist who was Anointed by God and his appointment both Prophet and King writ thus Praise ye the Lord Praise the Lord from the Heavens Praise him in the heights Praise ye him all ye his Angels Praise ye him all ye his hosts Praise ye him Sun and Moon Praise ye him all ye Stars of Light Praise him ye Heavens of Heavens and ye Waters that be above the Heavens Let them praise the Name of Lord for he commanded and they were Created he hath also Established them forever and ever he hath made a decree which shall not pass Praise the Lord from the Earth ye Dragons and all deeps Fire and Haile Snow and Vapour Stormy Wind fulfilling his word Mountains and all Hills fruitfull trees and all Cedars Beasts and all Cattle Creeping things and flying Fouls Kings of the Earth and all People Princes and all Judges of the Earth both young Men and Maidens old Men and Children let them Praise the Name of the Lord for his name alone is Excellent his Glory is above the Earth and Heaven c. Pâ—al 148. read it through Here again Observe the great God of Order who in the beginning Created all things in Order and placed them in their Order in Heaven and Earth all which was very good he calls of them in Order by the mouth of his Prophet to praise Magnifie and Glorifie him for whose glory and honour they all were Created good in the beginning Oh vain Man who under the Dark power of Satan has been bred up in thy Transgression as a Wild Asses Colt or as a Wild Bullock unaccustomed to the yoke or thou that hast known the yoke of Christ and cast it off wouldest thou in thy folly limit the Holy one of Israel in the beginning Carrying on and Compleating of his Creating anew in Christ Jesus the fallen degenerated and dead Sons and Daughters of Adam who have believed in his divine Spirit

growth and prosperity in the Truth doth answer this parable Yea or Nay And observe what Isaiah Prophesied concerning Christs Kingdom and Government He saith Of the Increase of His Government and Peace there shal be no End Now they who under the profession of the Light within are against this pure Government of Christ and the increase of it in the particuler and in his Church in generall who are for bringing in and Practising a corrupt fleshly Liberty Contrary to Christ these are the Apostates and Innovaâ—ors with such the Faithful Christian Apostles and Elders c. were Exercised and greâ—ved in the Primitive times as the Epistles of Paul Peter John Jude c. do shew Hear what Peter saith Concerning this matter viz. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of Temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of Judgment to be punisht but Chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the Last of Vncleanness and dispise Government presumtuous are they self-willed having Eyes full of Adultery and that cannot cease from Sin beguiling unstable Souls These are wells without Water Clouds that are Carryed with a Tempest to whom the mist of Darkness is reserved for ever for when they speake great swelling words of vanity they alure through the Lust of the flesh through much wantonness those that were Clean Escaped from them who live in Errour while they promise them Liberty they themselves are the Servants of Corruption for of whom a man is overcome of the same he is brought into bondage 2 Peter 2. 9 10 14 17 18. 19. read the Chapter through And as it was in their dayes so is it in ours some fell away then from the faith and Obedience to the Cross of Christ who had been Enlightened and tasted of the Heavenly Gift and of the power of the World to Come who while they therein abode were as Stars in the Firmament of the power of God and as the Clouds that are filled with rain and as the Trees of the Lords Planting which brought forth some fruit to him but when they fell away from Christ the root seed Light and fountain of life then their fruit withered and so they came to be without fruit as Jude writeth Trees twice dead pluckt up by the Roots c. and could not grow any more Now observe it is not with these as it was in the beginning when they were first turned to the Light of Christ by which they come to see their Sins and to be led to Repent of them and to forsake them the latter End of these is and will be worse than their beginning as the Apostle Peter writes concerning such for saith he It had been better for them not to have known the way of Righteousness than after they have known it to turn from the Holy Commandment delivered to them but it is come to pass according to the true Proverb the dog is returned to his own vomit again and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the Mire 2 Peter 21. 22. such in former time became the Agents of Sathan to seduce and draw others from the Faith and Obedience of the Cross of Christ some such have been and are in our day All you that Love the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ which makes Manifest all things as they are and reproves that which is Evil wait dilligently in the Light that therein you may see all the Mysterious workings of Sathan and his Agents that therein waiting and a biding stedfast you may Escape all their Snares Something more Concerning the order of the works of God in Heaven and Earth and particularly in his People THE great God who made Heaven and Earth and the fountains of Water who made all things good in the beginning he is the great God of Order he works his works in Order In the begining God Created the Heaven and the Earth and the Earth was without form and void and Darkness was upon the face of the Deep and the spirit of God Moved upon the Face of the Waters and God said let there be * Note God Commanded the Light to be and appear the first day Light and there was Light and God saw the Light that it was Good and God divided the Light from the Darkness and God called the Light Day and the Darkness he called Night and the Evening and the morning were the first day and God said let there be a Firmament in the midst of the Waters and let it divide the Waters from the Waters and God made the Firmament and divided the Waters which were under the Firmament from the Waters which were above the Firmament and it was so and God called the Firmament Heaven and the Evening and the Morning were the second day and God said let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place and let the dry Land appear and it was so and God called the dry Land earth and the gathering together of the waters called he seas and God saw that it was good and God said Let the Earth bring forth grass the Herb yeilding seed and the fruit-tree yeilding fruit after his kind whose seed is in it self upon the Earth and it was so and the Earth brought forth grass and Herb yeilding seed after his kind and the tree yeilding fruit whose seed was in it self after his kind and God saw that it was good and the Evening and the morning were the Third day and God said let there be Lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to divide the Day from the Night and let them be for Signes and for Seaâ—ous and for Dayes and Years and let them be for Lights in the Firmament of Heaven to give Light upon the Earth and it was so and God made two great Lights the greater Light to Rule the day and the lesser Light to Rule the Night he made the Stars also and God set them in the Firmament of the Heaven to give Light upon the Earth and to Rule over the Day and over the Night and to divide the Light from the Darkness and God saw that it was good and the Evening and the Morning were the Fourth day and God said let the waters bring forth aboundantly the moving Creature that hath life and Foul that may fly above the Earth in the open Firmament of Heaven and God Created great Whales and every living Creature that moveth which the waters brought forth aboundantly after their kind and every winged Foul after his kind and God saw that it was good and God blessed them saying be fruitful and Multiply and fill the waters in the Seas and let Foul Multiply in the Earth and the Evening and the Morning were the Fifth day and God said let the Earth bring forth the Living Creature after his kind Cattle and Creeping thing and Beast of the Earth after his kind and it was so and God made the Beast of the Earth after his kind and Cattle after
