your vain conversation and your Salvation from your vain traditions that every one in your places might honour God and be a good savour unto God for what good doth your observations of dayes and your preaching and praying and all your worships and services and all your talk of God and of Christ to be your Saviour and the hope which you say you have by his merits what good will all this talk do you whilest you live in sin which is contrary to God and so are under the condemnation of Christ and not in his salvation for he doth not merit any thing for the sin but for the sinner● And consider how this lyes for you want understanding Christ Jesus doth manifest his light in man and with his light he lets man see his sin by which sin man is separated from God and he reproves the sinner and calls him to repentance then the mind turning to the light when the light reproveth and answering the light faithfully then doth the light begin to separate him from the sin and to draw him out of the sin so Christ saves the sinner from the sin which he hath lived in and through his judgement he purges the sinner and makes him clean through the water of Regeneration and then he reconciles unto God the Father by himself and merits the love and the life and the peace for the sinner which in the sinful state was separated from God but now in the clean state is reconciled to God by Jesus Christ and so man is not reconciled as a sinner in the sin but a sinner washed and bathed and cleansed by the pure water which taketh away the filthiness of flesh and spirit and so reconciled to God who is holy in the holinesse of Christ Jesus And here man comes to Christ and to his Salvation and salvation is the work of Christ alone and by him is perfected through Regeneration so that it may here be understood by this short Testimony that the Free Grace of God by Jesus Christ is held forth for Salvation and not the Covenant of works for though it be so that people must come to repentance and amendment of life and that they must deny their evil wayes in obedience to Christ who is pure yet there is no act which by them is done that brings Salvation though in their way they do meet with Peace from God through obedience but the Salvation is in the Free Grace of God through Christ Jesus and the Grace of God that brings Salvation doth appear to all men mark the Grace of God doth appear to all men and where doth it appear why in their own Consciences and what doth it appear against why against the body of sin in every place and what doth it appear to do why to destroy the Devil the Author of Sin and what will it do further why it will teach to deny ungodliness and worldly lust so mark the Grace of God that brings Salvation doth appear in man against ungodlines and teaches man that doth receive it to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and these things must be denied in obedience to the Grace Yet the Salvation doth not stand in the thing done but in the Grace alone which requires the duty teaches to deny that which it appears again't and then it takes away the sin and saves from the sin which hath made man unclean and what will the grace do further why it will teach to live soberly and righteously and godly in this present evil world So mark again here is a change wrought in man by the Grace of God the Grace as it doth appear being received the ungodliness and worldly lusts they are denied and soberness and righteousness and godliness they are brought forth and manifested by the Grace and here is the Free-Grace in the Free-Love of God by Jesus Christ who is Salvation to the Ends of the Earth to all that in him believe But people doth not know him and so lets forth their own belief into an imagination of him and looks to find him in their own way and they having formed him in their own belief without them they neglect the manifestation of his Light within them and the body of sin remains unremoved and such knows not his Salvation but with sin is defiled and polluted and with that unclean body his Life is pressed and there the Just suffers for the unjust and the load of sin is heavy upon him which in his patience he beareth though with his Light he place Judgment upon it every way And thus it is opened what the Grace is in it self and what it is unto man that receives it and believes in it that all may mind the grace that brings salvation and close with it in its appearance that they may come to salvation by it which in it self is free Therefore all People ponder these things in your hearts and wait to know what time will bring forth in order to your salvation and do not neglect the time which you have present but day by day consider Gods goodness towards you that his goodness may overcome you to repentance and that you may come to Jesus Christ and know your salvation by him alone that his peace he may seal unto you in his own Covenant and that in his life and wisdom you may walk as becomes Christians in all sobriety and honesty dealing justly and loving mercy and then you will be a good savour unto God and Generations to come will rejoyce at your remembrance and this is an Exhortation unto you joyntly that you may come to the light of Christ particularly which light is but one in you all and if you mind it to obey it you will know the good order in it and every one in your particular places being brought into good order with the light you will have peace and comfort in your places and in the light which is but one you will in one be joyned and there will be but one heart and mind amongst you and then as one body you will stand in Righteousness to glorifie God and this will bring peace in the latter end but if you refuse to hearken and to obey your destruction will be of your selves and God will be clear when he judges Therefore consider it seriously and neglect not to close with the tenders of Gods love for to day it is unto you but to morrow it may be hid from you therefore lay it to heart Concerning Faith CHrist Jesus is the Author of Faith and by his Resurrection he brings it forth in himself it is a pure substance which is holy and doth proceed from the life and with the life is strengthned and through the life it hath its growth by degrees and this is true Faith and is but one not divided from the body of the Author though in its manifestation it may appear diversly for the diversity of its manifestation is to be understood in its degrees according to
