this doth not live and whether it lives not unto God and whether Death hath Dominion Over it which judgeth Death And whether this be not the Consolation Though you Die and Sin and Death hath Dominion Over You by being become servants of Sin and so are free from Righteousness yet that liveth which would gather You to God And whether you should not be gathered unto It which Death hath no Dominion Over who is the Son of God who lives for ever making Intercession for us VVho seeks to gather You who are gone astray who is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls Out of whose hands none can pluck his Sheep VVhose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom and his Dominion that which never shall have end Friends and Brethren Let me speak freely to You of the Patriarch Abraham and David and the Holy Men of God who are gone before They are fallen asleep and their flesh hath seen Corruption but him whom God hath raised up that he should see No Corruption dies no more Him preach I unto You who is a Priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedeck VVho is made not after the Law of a Carnal Commandment but after the Power of an Endless Life VVho is risen from the Dead and become the first fruits of them that slept In whom All are made alive VVho in that he died died but once unto Sin but in that he liveth he liveth unto God That we should no longer live the rest of our time in the flesh to the lusts of men but to the Will of God For he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from Sin and he whom the Son hath made free is free indeed and he that is a servant of Righteousness is free from Sin So likewise reckon ye also your selves to be indeed dead unto Sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Now here 's the Consolation That We have such an High Priest who is set on the Right hand of the Throne of the Majestie in the Heavens A Minister of the Sanctuary and of the true Tabernacle which the Lord pi●c●ed and not man by whom We have Access unto God Even by Faith in His Blood the New and Living Way which He hath consecrated for Us through the Vail that is to say His Flesh which is near You and in you So that ye need not say in your hearts VVho shall ascend into Heaven that is to say to bring down Christ from above Or VVho shall descend into the Deep that is to bring up Christ again from the Dead but the Word is Nigh you in your Mouth and in your Heart which is the Word of Faith which we Preach said Paul and the Righteousness which is of Faith which speaketh on this wise saith he as aforesaid So to this New and Living Way come which he hath consecrated unto Us through the Vail that is to say his Flesh that Ye may have boldness to Enter into the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus VVhose Blood clenseth from all Sin So the thing is not far from You but Nigh You the Way is not without you but within You into the Holiest the New and Living Way unto God which tenders it self unto You to be a Light unto your feet and a Lanthorn unto your Paths Even the Word The Immortal Word The Word Nigh You in Your Mouth and in Your Heart The Law of the Lord which Enlightens the Soul which is Light Christ Jesus the Light which enlightens Every Man that cometh into the World the true Light in whom was Life and the Life was the Light of Men VVho was in the World and the VVorld was made by Him and the VVorld knew him not VVho came unto his Own but his Own Received him not but to as many as Received him to them gave he Power to be called the Sons of God Even to them that believe in his Name VVhose Name is called The VVord of God which was in the Beginning which was with God which was God the same was in the Beginning with God All things were made by Him and without Him was not any thing made that was made So Friends The VVay is Easie and the Lord hath made it so Even the VVay unto Himself by CHRIST and You know it Now it is for You to walk therein For there is No Other Name given under Heaven by which We can be saved but CHRIST the LIGHT the True Light which lighteth Every Man that Cometh into the VVorld VVhich John bore Testimony of and said That he came for a VVitness to bear Witness of the Light The Man that was sent of God whose Name was JOHN and he saith That the LIGHT shineth in Darkness and the Darkness comprehended it not which was in Him who was Life and the Life was the Light of Men by whom all things were made as aforesaid So then CHRIST is Life and the Life is Light and the Light is in You CHRIST the VVay the Truth and the Life which makes manifest For Whatsoever is made manifest is made manifest by the LIGHT Unto this Come in this Believe For this I testifie unto You in the Name of the LORD whose VVord it is and You shall Witness it who hath moved me to write That if You Return unto This unto the LORD the Rod which is prepared for Others shall not fall upon You but if Ye do not Ye shall fall in your Blood The LORD hath spoken it So Farewell I am Your Friend GEO.
