all to this day that he may set your Sins in order before you and bring all to your Remembrance whatsoever you have done from your Youth unwards as he did to this Woman O therefore you that have any tenderness for your own Souls prize your time and the day of Gods Love to your Immortal Souls lest the Midnight Cry overtake you at unawares in the Night of Apostacy before you come to own and submit to the Ministration of Condemnation against Sin which is glorious in its time here is the strait and narrow way that is hard to that Birth that lives in Sin therefore this is the strait way that Christ spoke of that all must walk in that come to know the Ministration of Justification in the sight of God which is far more glorious in its time those who thus come to receive and submit to Gods Visitation the way that was once strait and narrow doth become a Path of Pleasantness to them and all his ways peace to that Birth which Christ spoke of to Nicodemus which is of his own nature and he that is begotten and brought forth in his Heavenly Divine Nature as the Scripture saith in 1 John 3. 9. 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 So there is not a good Thought nor a good Desire but what is of the Lords begetting in us and he that begets these good desires in us is able to fulfil the desires of them that fear him according to his promise in the Holy Scriptures of Truth and those he makes able rather to chuse as Moses did to suffer Affliction with the People of God then to enjoy the Pleasures of Sin which is but for a Season O therefore you Priests and People of all sorts that are pleading for Sin term of Life search the Scriptures for they are they that testifie against you in all your Ungodly Actions for you are not only under the Condemnation of the Law of Moses but also Transgressors of the Law of Grace that do live and act in Sin in Persecuting your honest Neighbours who for Conscience sake cannot bow to the wills of Men in things relating to Gods Worship for the Law of Moses was added because of Transgression for before Sin entred there was no need of an outward Law to punish for Sin but to keep to the Law of the Spirit of Truth within in which state Man would have been happy had he kept therein for Christ is the Resurrection and the Life that was promised after the Fall of Adam and Eve that should redeem fallen Man out of that Estate into the Restoration and Image of God again Therefore you that are pleading to be saved by Christs Death and Sufferings and yet keep in the Image of the Earthly and are not come to suffer with Christ to be buried with him in Baptism that you may know the Resurrection of his Life to raise up your Souls that are dead in Trespasses and Sins that you may put off the Old Man with his Deeds and so come to bear the Image of the Heavenly and so live in newness of Life you are but deceiving your own Souls for the end of Christs comeing was To Redeem his People out of Sin and not to save them in their Sins for as Christ said If you Dye in your Sins whither I go you cannot come for he is of purer Eyes then to behold Iniquity as to let it go unreproved or to dwell with Uncleanness therefore as the Prophet said He was a Man of Sorrow and acquainted with Grief in that prepared Body of which it was said He went about doing good and healing all manner of Diseases for them that did believe in him but where unbelief was he did not many mighty works there for there is nothing unpossible to those that do believe in his Name O! therefore fear and tremble ye Inhabitants of the Earth and wait to know the Iudgments of the Lord to be set up in you that you may learn Righteousness through them for the unlimitted Power of the Lord is going through this Nation and it is in vain for mortal Men whose Breath is in their Nostrils to set themselves in battle array against the Lamb and his Followers for the Lamb and his Followers shall have the Victory for he is that great Prophet which Moses Prophesied of That should be raised up like unto him and said Him shall ye hear in all things and those that will not hear this Prophet shall be cut off from among the People For the mighty Power of the Lord is going through this Nation and the day that is at hand will burn as an Oven against all the Proud and all that do wickedly for they shall be as Stubble before Devouring Fire For the best of them is as a Bryar and the most Upright as a Thorn Hedge therefore the day will be very terrible in breaking down the Pleasant Pictures and Guilded Cup of vain Religion that have been held out to deceive the Nations full of Abominations And against you Priests and Teachers also that are not come so far as the Pharisaical Righteousness to make the outside clean for there is a fire kindled in the Wrath of God which will burn in his sore Displeasure against all you that are covering your selves with a covering but not of Gods Eternal Spirit for all other coverings will be too narrow and the Bed too short to stretch your selves on for there is a Cloud of Witnesses against you the Law the Prophets Christ and his Apostles your Persecution exceeds Sauls which was a Man that walked as to the Law blameless and he Persecuted in Zeal for the Law which Moses received from the Mouth of God and was Ignorant that Christ was come who was the end of the Law for Righteousness sake to as many as did believe in his Name and so his Zeal was for the Law and the Temple where Gods Holiness once appeared so the Lord smote him down in mercy that he might pass thorough the Ministration of Condemnation which is glorious in its time and be raised up in the Administration of Iustification which came by Iesus Christ which is far more glorious For the Law came by Moses but Grace and Truth by Jesus Christ and if they escaped not that refused him that spake on Earth of how much sorer Punishment shall they be thought worthy that refuseth him that speaketh from Heaven whose Grace hath appeared unto all Men to bring Pardon for Sin to them that do obey it and to teach them to deny all Ungodliness and Wordly Lusts and to live a Righteous Godly Life in this present Evil World And so such come to witness that Christ did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets but to fulfil all Righteousness within and to cut down Sin in the motion by the true Circumcision within and then such
