therefore am I out of the Tenderness of my Soul and in bowels of Compassion towards thee moved to warn thee and to advise thee in dear and tender Love to the oppressed Seed in thee which groans to be set at Liberty Now the Desire of my Heart is that thou shouldst awake out of death and come unto CHRIST the LIGHT that he may give thee Life and to cast off every weight and burden and the Sins that so ea●●ly beset thee and that thou shouldst put off the Armour of darkness and put on the Armour of light for assuredly there is nothing that makes a Separation between thee and thy God but Sin but now herein stands the wonderful Love of God towards the fallen Sons and Daughters of Men who were dead in Sins and Trespasses and altogether in Darkness without any Means or Hope of Recovery in themselves now the Lord beholding poor distressed man in this State whereinto the Prince of Darkness hath captivated him out of the Tenderness of his Compassion unto the poor distressed Sons and Daughters of men he gave his only begotten Son into the World for a Light and to every man and woman which is born upon the Face of the whole Earth hath the Lord in mercy given a measure of this true Light which hath enlightned every one which cometh into the World in which Light standeth the Power of God and in this Light man comes to see his Sins and to see the Deceit of his own Heart which otherwise he could not have seen and though thou art unacquainted with it yet that is it that lets thee see the actings of the Prince of Darkness in thee for if he plotteth in thee any mischievous Intents whereby to destroy any man's Person or Estate and so endeavours to make thee an Instrument whereby he may do it secretly in the dark and although no Eye of man can see thee nor see his secret acting in thee yet this Light will follow thee and discover his subtil Delusions unto thee and make him many times appear odious unto thee and calls thee and invites thee from following of him and many times brings Fearfulness and Dread upon thee for thy wicked Actions now this is that that would redeem thee out of Sin which saves all them that believe in and follow the Son of God the true Light of the World out of Sin and Death which is the Wages thereof Now it is but vain for thee or any other to call Christ thy Redeemer and thy Saviour and to say that thou hopest to be saved by Christ after thy Death because he was crucified at Jerusalem sixteen Hundred years ago and yet thou livest in Sin and Wickedness in Pride and Vain-Glory of this world which passeth away as a Vapour of the Night afore the Morning Sun but for all this let me tell thee plainly without Deceit nevertheless for all thy high Conceits of thy self and for all thy vain Hopes and thy feigned Faith thy Hope is the Hope of the Hypocrite which will perish in the time of Trial and thy feigned Faith cannot give thee victory over the world therefore if ever thou comest to witness Redemption to thy Soul thou must witness Christ's Death to kill Sin in thy mortal Body and thou must witness his Resurrection in thee And as for his Sufferings at Jerusalem I own according to the Declaration of the Scriptures but thou must witness him nearer to thee then at Jerusalem if ever thou witness him to be thy Redeemer and the Salvation of thy Soul Now let me reason with thee a little in Coolness and Moderation if Christ be thy Redeemer what is it that he hath redeemed thee out of seeing thou yet livest in Sin and in the Polutions of the World And if he be thy Saviour what hath he saved thee from seeing thou art yet in Bondage to Sin and Iniquity Therefore the sting of death is not yet taken away while Sin remains so thou canst not call him thy Redeemer in Truth and Righteousness unless thou couldst witness him to have redeemed thee out of sin and transgression and thou dost but deceive thy self to call him thy Saviour unless that thou couldst witness that he did save thee out of temptations when they arise in thee from thy own Lusts and so from Sin which they bring forth and from Death which is the Wages thereof Now as the first Nature hath reigned which is of the Earth earthly in all mankind which is the first Adam over whom Sin came to have the Dominion whereby Death came to reign over all Mankind in that nature so now as the Children of men come to be begotten into Christ the Second Adam and so born of the new Birth of Righteousness they come to know what the Immortal Seed is whereunto the Promises are Yea and Amen and come to witness Christ to be the Redeemer and Saviour in Deed and in Truth and that his Cross in them is the Power of God unto Salvation and they see as they abide faithful in that which crosses their own fleshly wills therein they come to see the power of God and as they stand stedfastly faithful in it they come to see the Power of Light in them which is far stronger then the Powers of Darkness for they come to see Victory in it over the Devil all his subtil Delusions and over the Flesh and all its Lusts and over the World and all the Vanities thereof and as they abide in this Power which is CHRIST the Light of the World and the Power of God unto Salvation and as they follow him faithfully through all Sufferings and all the Hatred and Malice which arises against them in the Children of Darkness they will come to see him to trample down all his Enemies in them and make them his Footstool but as any man or woman goes out of the Cross wherein standeth God's Power and let their own wills rule in them then they go into the Power of the Prince of the Air which ruleth in the Children of Disobedience whose Dominion wholely standeth in man's corrupt and carnal will and then he leads them captive at his own Pleasure and so as they stand in his Dominion Sin comes to have Power over such in all his Motions and then comes in Complainings and Murmurings against the Lord who made them and so they come to cry out for want of Power and because they cannot have power and victory over Sin in their own wills and in their own time which is the very Ground wherein the Power of Sin standeth then when they see they cannot have Power over Sin there which is impossible for any to attain to unless they come out of the Power of their own will into that Power which crosseth it then they come to plead for Sin in themselves then they not having Power over it there they inform all others that they can never have Power over Sin nor be set free from
