and fancy committing Idolatry with your own wisdoms and excluding the wisdom of God he will then make all things manifest and apparent at his coming shewing you your miserie by the Holy Ghost the Spirit of Truth at which time your soul will lose the harmonie and virtue of the light of Christ 8. One Adam was created a living soul and another must become a quickning Spirit now the Virgin-fire that is in every mans soul must consume all its wisdom and its selfishness which it hath got by falling from the Will of God and Regenerate the same The mortification of the body is onely in order to that work here nothing but the Virgin-fire of faith can prevail the wisdom of man is foolishness before God This is the single Talent that is given to every man but if he bury the same in the ground it is given to him that hath ten Talents t is the light in every mans conscience which according to its proportion would augment it self but the slothful servant saith this is very difficult to do to mortifie the body and Regenerate the soul entirely likewise Who can do this can this ever be done in this life sure I am it must be done before we can possess Heaven no impure and undefiled thing can enter there then if a man may do it when he dies why not an hour before if an hour before why not an year before c. It is true the Cherubins standeth here with a flaming sword Gen. 3. v. 24. So he drove out the man and he placed at the East of the Garden of Eden Cherubins and a flaming Sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life And till Christ be formed in us Gal. 4.19 My little children of whom I travel in birth again until Christ be formed in you This work cannot be done but then we shall see him through faith Ephes 3.17 18 19. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that ye being rooted and grounded in Love may be able to comprehend with all Saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height And to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that ye may be filled with all the fulness of God Whereby we comprehend him and find him to be a consuming fire Heb. 12.29 For our God is a consuming fire 1 John 3. v. 6 7 8 9. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not whosoever sinneth hath not seen him neither known him Little children let no man deceive you he that doth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous He that committeth sin is of the Devil for the Devil sinneth from the beginning for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God And chap. 5.18 We know that whosoever is born of God sineth not but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one toucheth him not 8. And this is the great love which he hath shewed us in giving us this pearl whereby we are made partakers of his Divine Nature enabling us to be as Gods with him to all Eternity Psal 82.6 I have said ye are Gods and all of you are children of the most High And also 1 John 3. v. 1 2 3 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons of God therfore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not Beloved now are we the Sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when we shall appear we shal be like him for we shal see him as he is And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure But to do this you must get into the Cross the Virgin fire to the Bride else there is no coming to the Bridegroom For this is the Saints Prerogative the true Purgatory 1 Pet. 4.12 Beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery Tryal which is to try you as though some strange thing hapned unto you 10. O let us take up but this Cross dayly and we shall enter into the Holy where Christ the onely true High Priest will live in our hearts making continual Sacrifices enlightening our souls and reducing our knowledg into practise For this is the Fathers will that we taste of his wrath and that suffering with his Son for well doing patiently we may find him appeasing our souls this is divine reason whereby Christ is known in the spirit in the new-birth for by the wisdom of man we cannot comprehend him he is incomprehensible he is only known in the spirit by his power and vertue where he revealeth himself Luk. 10.21 In that hour Jesus rejoyced in spirit and said J thank thee O Father Lord of Heaven and Earth that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes even so Father for so it seemed good in thy sight 1 Cor. 1.17.18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31. For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the Gospel not with wisdom of words lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved it is the Power of God For it is written I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent Where is the wise where is the Scribe where is the disputer of this world hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that beleeve For the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom But we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolishness But unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks Christ the Power of God and the Wisdom of God Because the foolishness of God is wiser then men and the weakness of God is stronger then men For ye see your calling brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty And base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to nought things that are That no flesh should glory in his presence But of him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption That according as it is writen He that glorieth let him glory in the Lord. Chap. 2. v.
