A60437	Hidden things made manifest by the light in a plain distinction between condemnation and temptation : wherein is shewed how the rightetous law of God is ministered upon the transgressor, and how it is to be by all received and continued under, through it, as a schoolmaster to come to Christ, by him to have the sin done away forever : also of temptation, what it is, and how it may be known and discerned from condemnation, that out of temptation man may be delivered and kept with the light of Christ, who was tempted and did overcome : with a direction to them who profess the knowledge of the truth, and live not in the power of God, that they may know the entrance within the vail, where the temptations are overcome, and where the foolish virgins cannot enter / given forth for such who say they see, and yet their sin remaineth ... by a member of the church and body of Christ ... Humphrey Smith.	Smith, Humphrey, d. 1663.	1658 (1658)	Wing S4062; ESTC R10253	15,254	23

Law who is the light given into man to let him see to condemn the sin the which man being dead in and in trespasses doth not love but is afraid of that which in secret judgeth and reproveth him from the which man flying forsaketh that by which he should come to receive the mercies of the Lord but wo to them for ever who strive with their maker and call him Belzeebub who is the light in the heart and should be Master in the house Therefore let all take heed of despising the Law which is written with the finger of God in the heart whilest it is yet hard for the Law of God is perfect making wise the simple and the ministration thereof is to destroy that which did it transgress and lead unto him by whom the transgression is finished And this is not a temptation but a dispensation of Gods Justice through his righteous Law upon that which sinned over which the Law hath power so long as that liveth which the Law is to kill that through the death of it that might come again to live which was before the Law and before the death and before the sin And now when the Law or Ministration of Condemnation cometh man is to stand still and wait quietly under it and not let any thing break through in a haste to rage or gaze and wonder at that which is so dreadful that man is not able to stand under it without unspeakable astonishment because of that which then is over him who then is commanded not to break through least he dye for the Law is to break through that which cannot keep it and make way to that which is to keep it and live for ever but man is not to break through from under the Condemnation to that where the Law is ministred until that is received by which the Law may be kept for such who in the condemnation do abide come at last to see and receive him that is made under the Law and is the end of it and taketh away the sin but such who come to the Law and break out from under the Judgement before the law had brake through and out down all that in them which could not keep it such have let in death again to reign over that which with judgment should have been redeemed to bear away that which the law had power over and arise up with that power love life and obedience to God as in all things to fulfil the whole law of God which until then doth still stand in force over that and them in which sin remaineth which doth transgress the law one tittle whereof shall not perish till all be fulfilled though some coming to the law have broke forth and then healed the wound slightly supposing it would serve their turns to talk of the fulfilling of it by and in another for them without them seeing themselves not able to keep it in all things not waiting to the end of the law by it to have all that destroyed which could not keep it and receive that which cannot break it mark and in it keep by it to be lead out of the Wilderness of sin in the promised land to rest in it to have the dayes prolonged and the life preserved for Christ the light cometh to save the life And there are many that are now come to peace dominion and the land of rest who did once come to know the judgments of God upon Cains nature which then cryed out That his punishment was too heavy to bear and have also come to see the beast whose head is full of the Names of Blasphemy and yet have they not started aside like a broken bowe from under the judgement neither suffered the Enemy to prevail over them by temptations to curse God and dye nor to call him Belzeebub who is the light which condemns and should be Master in the house neither have they despised Moses law which is the Ministration of Condemnation and in its time is glorious but in patience and long-suffering under it have waited and that without murmuring or suffering that to break forth in rage which Gods judgements is to neither have they suffered unbelief to prevail over them but in love to him who was made a curse in patience have endured all these things have been made as free to drink the Cup of Astonishment with the dregs thereof as the Lord was to pour it forth unto them who now drink the Cup of salvation even the blood of the Lamb which clenseth from all sin whose life saveth them from the terror of the Pit who have come to feel the seed born and brought forth though with pangs and sorrow which the blessing is to Those may see hear and understand what I write who are come to know how the law is handed forth by a Mediator who was before the law and the righteousness of God manifest without the law sin discovered by the law and Gods Righteousness revealed by that which was before the law and that notwithstanding the law must be received yet by the Works thereof no flesh shall be justified but by obedience of Faith towards God in the blood of his Son by which all that is done away which transgrest the law and so not of Works nor of Merits but of Faith and Love is the Law fulfilled Concerning Temptation And that those who were born blind and have been ever since covered with the blackness of darkness through their own Wisdom being dead in trespasses and sins not feeling nor savouring the things of God but remain in that Religion and Profession which crucified his Son who is a man of sorrows and called him a blasphemer who is the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world and said he had a Devil who came to condemn sin in the flesh whose light in every conscience is the condemnation so long as the evil deeds remain the which condemnation is not a temptation for God who is light tempteth no man to evil Therefore in love is this written that no man through blindness and ignorance in his own Wisdom may esteem that to be a temptation which doth condemn and that out of temptation all such who are tempted may be led and kept by that which doth condemn vvhich is the pure light of Christ vvhich doth iudge and condemn the temptations and the sin and the transgressor who enters into it and every evil motion which is apt to arise in the minde that is darkned and blinded by the god of the World which mind from the darknesse to the light is to be turned in the light to bel●eve as he hath said I am the light believe in the light and it is a temptation which hinders man from believing in the light and all such keep not the commands of Christ who do not believe and obey the light and such profess his Words but deny that in which the power of his life doth stand
