with_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n within_o which_o never_o give_v consent_n to_o sin_n and_o evil_a like_a to_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n and_o to_o a_o leaven_n which_o leaven_v into_o a_o new_a lump_n and_o with_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v the_o field_n which_o be_v the_o world_n place_v in_o your_o heart_n where_o the_o pearl_n be_v hide_v and_o with_o what_o you_o must_v dig_v to_o find_v the_o pearl_n the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o what_o you_o must_v sell_v for_o its_o sake_n to_o purchase_v the_o field_n and_o wait_v in_o this_o light_n you_o will_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o comforter_n to_o to_o lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o to_o bring_v the_o word_n which_o christ_n have_v speak_v to_o your_o

christ_n and_o receive_v it_o you_o receive_v christ_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o for_o in_o the_o light_n christ_n be_v see_v and_o handle_v his_o voice_n be_v hear_v and_o he_o be_v follow_v so_o in_o the_o light_n you_o will_v see_v christ_n to_o be_v your_o teacher_n who_o say_v learn_v of_o i_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n by_o who_o life_n eternal_a be_v give_v and_o you_o be_v bring_v again_o to_o christ_n the_o shepherd_n who_o draw_v you_o out_o of_o the_o fall_n to_o god_n into_o his_o image_n where_o the_o green_a pasture_n of_o life_n be_v know_v and_o feed_v upon_o and_o no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n say_v christ_n but_o by_o i_o who_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o by_o the_o light_a all_o may_v believe_v and_o say_v christ_n believe_v in_o the_o light_n whilst_o you_o have_v the_o light_n that_o you_o may_v be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n so_o you_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o light_n which_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o it_o you_o come_v to_o be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n and_o heir_n of_o promise_n and_o mercy_n and_o of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o life_n that_o have_v no_o end_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n you_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o you_o come_v to_o know_v a_o translation_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o satan_n power_n to_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o know_v the_o beget_v of_o god_n into_o his_o own_o image_n by_o his_o power_n as_o you_o have_v be_v degenerate_v from_o god_n and_o have_v lose_v his_o image_n by_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o so_o translate_v from_o the_o image_n of_o god_n into_o the_o image_n of_o satan_n from_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n so_o you_o must_v come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o you_o may_v have_v another_o conversion_n from_o satan_n power_n to_o god_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n to_o be_v renew_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v feel_v within_o and_o as_o you_o feel_v this_o within_o you_o will_v know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n within_o in_o your_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v to_o the_o roman_n which_o they_o be_v to_o hear_v obey_v and_o do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o word_n which_o separate_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a your_o precious_a thought_n affection_n motion_n and_o word_n from_o your_o vile_a so_o the_o word_n be_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o mouth_n to_o obey_v it_o and_o to_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v quick_a and_o powerful_a sharp_a than_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v who_o shall_v bring_v it_o from_o heaven_n or_o who_o shall_v fetch_v it_o from_o beneath_o but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o mouth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n preach_v and_o the_o same_o word_n be_v call_v a_o hammer_n a_o sword_n and_o a_o fire_n to_o beat_v down_o to_o cut_v down_o and_o to_o burn_v up_o whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o so_o it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n which_o sanctify_v and_o purify_v and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n as_o beat_v down_o and_o cut_v down_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o which_o separate_v betwixt_o you_o and_o god_n so_o you_o may_v hear_v obey_v and_o do_v the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v with_o you_o in_o all_o place_n and_o in_o all_o your_o occasion_n divide_v good_a thought_n from_o bad_a good_a word_n and_o motion_n from_o bad_a for_o if_o all_o christendom_n will_v hear_v and_o obey_v the_o word_n in_o their_o heart_n which_o be_v pure_a and_o life_n and_o remain_v and_o endure_v for_o ever_o by_o which_o they_o will_v come_v to_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o the_o immortal_a seed_n this_o word_n will_v keep_v they_o from_o evil_a action_n and_o word_n which_o be_v speak_v and_o act_v by_o they_o and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n every_o one_o shall_v be_v teach_v and_o shall_v know_v the_o engraft_a word_n which_o be_v able_a to_o save_v the_o soul_n which_o beat_v down_o and_o cut_v down_o and_o burn_v up_o that_o which_o war_n against_o it_o and_o keep_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o so_o in_o this_o word_n they_o shall_v know_v the_o anoint_v in_o themselves_o to_o teach_v they_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v any_o man_n to_o teach_v they_o but_o as_o the_o same_o anoint_v teach_v they_o which_o teach_v truth_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o light_n and_o word_n which_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n they_o shall_v know_v the_o new_a covenant_n of_o god_n the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o put_v in_o their_o mind_n by_o which_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v need_n to_o say_v one_o to_o another_o know_v the_o lord_n for_o all_o shall_v know_v he_o from_o the_o least_o even_o to_o the_o great_a and_o those_o be_v true_a christian_n who_o come_v to_o witness_v this_o as_o thousand_o in_o england_n do_v witness_v it_o in_o this_o his_o day_n among_o who_o the_o precious_a pearl_n be_v find_v and_o the_o field_n be_v buy_v among_o who_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n set_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n who_o witness_v the_o age_n to_o come_v of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o which_o the_o kindness_n and_o exceed_a riches_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v manifest_v again_o which_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n make_v manifest_a among_o the_o apostle_n who_o sit_v together_o in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n jesus_n in_o which_o places_z thousand_o be_v now_o come_v to_o sit_v glory_n be_v to_o he_o for_o ever_o i._o concern_v worship_n the_o promise_n of_o redemption_n be_v from_o that_o state_n in_o which_o adam_n and_o eve_n their_o son_n and_o daughter_n be_v in_o the_o fall_v drive_v from_o god_n into_o a_o state_n in_o which_o they_o be_v before_o they_o be_v drive_v from_o god_n to_o the_o church_n in_o god_n now_o they_o that_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o state_n drive_v from_o god_n be_v people_n far_o off_o from_o the_o church_n in_o god_n our_o worship_n be_v in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n abide_v not_o but_o be_v out_o of_o it_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o strife_n and_o unrighteousness_n among_o people_n which_o truth_n make_v the_o devil_n to_o bow_v and_o cringe_v yea_o and_o destroy_v he_o and_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o mortify_v sin_n which_o make_v the_o separation_n from_o god_n now_o we_o say_v that_o if_o all_o christendom_n have_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n they_o have_v all_o be_v in_o he_o out_o of_o which_o the_o devil_n be_v and_o have_v be_v in_o the_o holy_a mountain_n and_o have_v feel_v the_o spirit_n rule_v they_o in_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o have_v feel_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n guide_v and_o teach_v they_o in_o they_o in_o their_o own_o heart_n ii_o concern_v the_o church_n our_o church_n be_v in_o god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o redeem_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o deformity_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n which_o blood_n we_o feel_v in_o our_o heart_n purge_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n with_o which_o blood_n we_o feel_v our_o conscience_n cleanse_v from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n god_n so_o this_o blood_n be_v witness_v in_o we_o and_o the_o excellency_n thereof_o by_o which_o we_o come_v to_o know_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n iii_o concern_v the_o way_n we_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o way_n which_o be_v light_n which_o enlighten_v you_o and_o
every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o with_o this_o light_n you_o may_v see_v he_o the_o way_n and_o may_v come_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o life_n which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o god_n and_o which_o be_v the_o new_a and_o living-way_n in_o which_o the_o apostle_n be_v out_o of_o which_o christendom_n be_v go_v err_v from_o the_o light_n in_o their_o own_o particular_n into_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o imagination_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o be_v set_v up_o so_o many_o way_n among_o they_o changeable_a way_n and_o changeable_a worship_n among_o they_o i_o say_v who_o have_v err_v from_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n so_o whosoever_o come_v to_o the_o light_n in_o themselves_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o come_v to_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n out_o of_o the_o old_a and_o dead_a way_n which_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n from_o god_n out_o of_o his_o image_n and_o power_n so_o whosoever_o come_v to_o his_o image_n and_o power_n they_o must_v come_v to_o the_o light_n wherewith_o christ_n the_o way_n have_v enlighten_v they_o all_o in_o their_o own_o particular_n and_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o doctrine_n so_o there_o be_v not_o another_o way_n to_o the_o father_n but_o christ_n the_o light_n which_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o way_n yea_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n so_o who_o love_v the_o light_n they_o love_v the_o way_n and_o they_o love_v christ_n but_o they_o who_o hate_v the_o light_n they_o hate_v christ_n the_o way_n iv._o of_o the_o cross_n the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o world_n which_o cross_n of_o christ_n the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v among_o the_o apostle_n which_o crucify_a they_o from_o all_o outward_a figure_n type_n shadow_n and_o invention_n of_o men._n so_o they_o who_o be_v go_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v set_v up_o many_o cross_n who_o have_v lose_v the_o true_a cross_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n the_o cross_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n crucify_v that_o state_n in_o which_o adam_n and_o eve_n and_o all_o their_o posterity_n be_v in_o in_o the_o degeneration_n in_o which_o cross_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n by_o which_o cross_n they_o come_v to_o a_o state_n in_o which_o they_o be_v in_o before_o their_o fall_n and_o in_o this_o power_n of_o god_n the_o cross_n be_v the_o fellowship_n which_o be_v a_o mystery_n which_o bring_v to_o the_o

it_o be_v among_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o light_n by_o which_o we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o the_o son_n vi_o of_o the_o gospel_n the_o gospel_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v receive_v power_n receive_v the_o gospel_n by_o which_o life_n and_o immortality_n be_v bring_v to_o light_n and_o the_o power_n of_o god_n expel_v that_o which_o keep_v life_n and_o immortality_n from_o people_n and_o captivate_v their_o soul_n spirit_n and_o mind_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o bondage_n which_o power_n of_o god_n expel_v it_o all_o and_o set_v they_o free_a and_o give_v they_o dominion_n over_o that_o which_o burden_v they_o and_o give_v they_o to_o feel_v and_o to_o see_v before_o that_o be_v which_o hide_v

who_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n that_o by_o this_o gospel_n life_n and_o immortality_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o light_n among_o they_o and_o expel_v away_o that_o which_o hide_v it_o from_o they_o by_o which_o power_n the_o gospel_n which_o be_v salvation_n which_o free_v the_o soul_n spirit_n and_o conscience_n from_o that_o which_o burden_v they_o and_o to_o they_o this_o be_v glad_a tiding_n vii_o of_o faith_n the_o faith_n be_v one_o which_o purify_v the_o heart_n which_o give_v victory_n and_o which_o bring_v to_o have_v access_n to_o god_n and_o which_o give_v victory_n over_o that_o which_o separate_v from_o god_n in_o which_o faith_n be_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n in_o which_o also_o stand_v our_o unity_n which_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n viii_o of_o baptism_n there_o be_v one_o baptism_n by_o one_o spirit_n into_o one_o body_n which_o plunge_v under_o all_o the_o corruption_n which_o get_v up_o since_o transgression_n
