Gen. 1. And the Lord God took the man and put him into the ●arden● t● dress it and to keep it and the Lord commanded the man 〈◊〉 Of every Tree of the Garden thou mayest freely eat but of 〈◊〉 Tree of knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of i● for in the day thou eats thereof thou shalt surely dye Now the Serpe●t was more subtil then any Beast of the field and he said unto the woman ye shall not surely dye but we see the Serpent was a Lyar from his beginning who got in through a temptation and a Lye by which sin entred through ●ransgression for which the Law was added and for his wicked work was accursed from God and man for his disobedience was cast out from God so by the disobedience of one many were made Sinners and by the obedience of one many were made Righteous● which was and is through Faith 〈◊〉 Christ For the Iust lives by Faith and without Faith it is impos●●ble to please God but ●here was and is the Faith of Devils that works not in the love but in the emni●y and so brings forth of the sower Grap● which is sin and unrighteousness and through disobedience sin entred by which man is led captive at the Enemie● will into the corrupt nature into ungodliness and unrighteousness which is the corrupt ground from whence proceeds all evil in which ●ate there is none doth good no not one and in which 〈◊〉 all have sinned and come short of the Glory of the living God in whom is Salvation● and Eternal Life through Christ Jesus who is the Author and the Finisher of our Faith which we have received from God Almighty from whence every good and perfect gift comes● And that Faith which comes from God alone it works by love in the heart and this is the Love of God that we keep his Commandments and his Commandments are not burdensom For all that are born of God overcometh this World 1 Iohn 5.4 But the Priest told me that thou saidst to him thou strangest at me that I opposed thee in that partic●lar above all the rest for thou well remembredst what thou wert speaking of thou wer● come to thy last point and to conclude that all were miserable ●inners and thou saidst all the World would con●ess that they were Sinners now as 〈◊〉 is written 1 ●ohn 5.19 We know that we are of God and thi● whole World lyeth i● wickedness and the World loves its own in which is the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye and the pride of life which is not of the Father● but of this World And when the Ph●ri●ees he●rd that Jesus had put the Sadduces to silence one of them which was an expounder of the Law asked him a Question saying Master which is the greatest Commandment in the Law Jesus said unto him Thou shal● love the Lord thy God with all thy heart wi●h all thy soul and with all thy mind and the second is like ●nto this Thou shal● love thy Neigh●our as thy self Matthew 22. Now to the witness of God in thy Conscience do I speak which if thou turn in to it it will tell thee whether thou art faithful herein and whether thou doest act herein according to Christ's Doctrine and the Scriptures which was given forth from the Spirit of Truth freely and not to be made a trade of for money neither can the gift of God be purchased with money if so then would Simon Mag●● have purchased the Kingdom of Heaven with money and the rich of this World but Christ's Kingdom stands not in corruptable things but in that which is uncorruptable and is Pure Holy R●ghteous and Eternal of God therefore said Christ unto them in the dayes of old Except a man ●e regenerated and born again he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Read the Scriptures as Christ said for they are them which do tes●ifie of me but you will not come unto me that you might have Life Now many have a life in the ea●thly part serving their own hearts lust but whos●ever will follow Christ let him forsake himself and take up his cross and follow him and whosoever will not take up his cross and deny himself daily is not worthy of him And whosoever will save his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lay down his life for my Name sake and the Gospel the same shall find it For what shall it profit a man though ●e should win the World if ●e lose his soul or what exchange sh●l● a man give for his soul And whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and my Words amongst this adulterous and sinful Generation of him shall the Son of ●an be ashamed also when he cometh in the Glory of his Father with his holy Angels Mark 8. And he that fulfils the lust of the flesh he shall dye but if thou through the spirit do mortifie the deeds of the flesh then shalt thou live● so now doest thou know the new birth ar● thou regenerated and born again not of flesh and of blood but of the Water and of the Spirit the Water washeth and the Spiri● purifieth the heart through Faith in Christ by which we come to witness Mortification Redemption Sanctification and newness of ●ife by the Power of God revealed in Christ whose Blood was shed for his people now that none make his Blood his Covenant his Commandments of none effect by their Traditions For the Blood of Christ cle●seth from all ●●n and it is only the sins of people that makes the separation between God and man mark Your sins ●ath separated between me and you saith the Lord God and as it is written He heareth not sinners neither doth he ac●ept of the Prayers or Teachings or any Sacrifices of sinners while they remain in their sins but he that comes to believe in God and in Jesus Christ and repents and forsakes shall find Mercy but he that hideth his sins shall not prosper so that it is good for all to confess and to forsake and not alwayes to be making a confession of miserable sinners year by year and so all a mans life time this is but the sacrifices of the wicked which is abomination in the sight of the pure God therefore confess and forsake and return to the Lord while thou hast time that if thou hast not sinned ou● the day of thy visitation thou mayest find Mercy with the Lord for there is no repentance beyond the Grave For as the Tree falleth so it lieth and as death leaves so Iudgment finds and if any dies in their sins which is the transgression of the Royal Law of God for which the Law was added now when God shall come at the last day to call all to Judgment for their deeds done in their Bodies whether good or evil if thou hast done well thou shalt be accepted if no● sin lies at the door then he that hath done well and wrought out his

hope of eternal Life which God hath promised that cannot lie before the world began whom he hath given a Light into the World that whosoever believes in him should not abide in darkness but have everlasting Life and this is the Record to wit that God hath given unto us eternal Life and this Life is in that his Son He that hath the Son hath that Life and he that hath not that Son of God hath not that Life these things have I written unto you that believe in that Name of the Son of God that ye may try your ways and examine your own hearts and see what it is that is head in you for if Christ be not risen all Preaching is in vain who is the Resurrection and the Life Iohn 11.25 I am the Resurrection and the Life said Christ he that believeth in me though he wore dead yet shall he live Now let not your Faith stand in the wisdom of me● but in the Power of God for the foolishness of God is w 〈…〉 en men and the weakness of God is stronger then men 〈◊〉 not many wise men after the flesh nor many mighty not many noble are called but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and God hath chosen the weak things of the World to confound the mighty things and poor things of the World and things which are despised hath God chosen and things which were not to bring to nought things that are that no flesh should rejoyce in his presence but we are of him in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us Wisdom and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption that according as it is written He that rejoyceth let him rejoyce in the Lord and let your love be without dissimulation abhor that which is evil and cleave unto that which is good for God is Love and every good and perfect gift comes from above from the Father of Spirits who so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son Christ Iesus a free Gift to all who is the true Light which lighteth every one that cometh into the World that all through him might believe Now every one that makes any profession of God and of his Son Jesus Christ see that your Faith stand in the power of God according to the measure of Faith or Grace ye have received which hath appeared unto all by which through Faith and Obedience Salvation is witnessed unto all them that witness the Scriptures fulfilled in them according to the Spirit of Truth which was left for our example unto whom the ends of the world is come for the world is placed in mans heart from whence proceeds all wickedness 1 Iohn 5.19 as said the Apostle We know that we are of God and this whole World lieth in wickedness in which is the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye and the pride of life which is not of the Father but of this World which is the earthly part that is got up into the heart of man by which the true Seed is held in captivity and is oppressed as a Cart with Sheaves And out of this earthly heart and corrupt ground proceeds Strife Murther Theft Adultery Drunkenness Swearing Lying Cozening and Cheating Pride Ambition Self-exalting Proud coveting after their own hearts lusts in which the Serpent is head who got into man through temptation who also tempted our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when he took him and set him on a Pinacle and shewed him the glory of the World All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me Then said Jesus unto him Get thee behind me Satan So as every one comes unto Christ and are truely obedient unto him in the power of God they can resist the Devil and he will flee But the first man is of the earth earthly earthlike and so the Serpent got into man through an earthly object tempting with the forbidden fruit which God did and doth forbid though things pleasant to the eye and to the ●arthly heart in which the carnal mind doth not see God but lies in death but to be spiritually minded is Life and Peace And the Strong man keeps the house until a stronger then he comes which is Christ Jesus the second Adam who is Lord from Heaven who takes the Strong man and binds him and casts him out with all his goods who was and yet is exalted in the Temple of God above all that is called God where Christ is not yet witnessed to be their alone strength and their all and in all such are of Antichrist and are under his command though they may profess God and Christ Faith Love and Righteousness for that spirit which confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the Spirit is of Antichrist and denies Revelations and also the knowledg of God And the Serpent which was the subtil'st Beast of the field he came unto Adam and Eve and he would be interpreting the Scriptures though God had said they should not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil which is a Mystery for great is the Mystery of Godliness which is held in a pure Conscience the Serpent called the old Devil● the Lyar he contradicted the comm●nds of God and said they should not dye and so through disobedience of Eve the Serpent entred her and so to the man and so the strong Man being got in hath armed himself and so keeps the house until a Stronger comes and he hath taken the name of a Christian upon him even he who was head in the professing Jews Scribes and Pharisees who looked for Christ's coming yet when he was come to wit Christ the Serpent who was got up and is the god of the World had so blinded their eyes Antichrist the man of sin he in his members gainsaid Christ Therefore Christ told them Ye are of your father the Devil and the works of him ye will do and so they persecuted Christ to the death and persecution was alwayes blind for it proceeded from the God of the World and doth to this very day for God is Love and hath given Christ Jesus the Son of his Love who is full of Grace and Truth and true Righteousness in whom is our peace and Souls eternal Salvation who said Do good against evil Bless and curse not Now in true love to your immortal Souls I beseech all and forwarn all in the Name and fear of the Almighty God unto whom this may come that you lay truly to heart and consider your latter end before it be too late and turn in to the Witness of God in your Consciences Christ Jesus the true Prophet the Spirit of Truth that will tell you all that ever you have done all your life and will set your sins in order before you O repent repent and forsake that your sins may go before you to judgment for if they come after they will fall heavy for there is no
