read 2 Peter 3.15 Ezek. 33.10 to 20. That God desireth not the destruction or the death of him which is destroyed but had rather they would own his light which is Christ his power and strength and would and doth give power over all sin yea even power to become the Sons of God which sin not And this I declare to you all is not of man nor mans righteousness which is as filthy rags yet it is in man and there fulfils the righteousness of the Law now in the Saints as ever he did Rom. 8.4 that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit v. 14. for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God mark the wise Professors Prayers and such as say ye observe the Ordinances and use the means and say you cannot be perfect in this life but say ye are justified by Christs righteousness which suffered at Jerusalem beyond the Sea vers 4. that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us Consider this you that would make Christ a cover for your sins as all doe who know not Christ in them the hope of glory Therefore call not us deceivers any longer but see how Satan is exalted in you and ye your selves are deceived which are in your sins and beguiled and cast the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus which all that are in sin not and this is true Justification for any to be in Christ where old things and sin is done away for which man is condemned and unto which the Law was and is added and abides in force while men are in their sins though in that state which is woful and for condemnation You will say you are not under the Law but under Grace therefore count not this deceit any longer as you have formerly done but consider what have ye to be deceived of seeing ye are in your sins and have lost the elect which cannot be deceived and the Apostles did not write to such as you are but to the Saints that were in Christ Jesus and had something more then you have who are in your sins to be deceived of Therefore all come down unto Christ the light of the world which lighteth every man that cometh into the world which is the eye and ye shall see all your prayers righteousnesses Means and Ordinances which you use to get Christ is all one in the sight of God with your swearing lying and drunkenness read Isai 66. v. 2. to 5. Hearken unto this ye proud Professors but trembles not at the Word of the Lord He that killeth an Oxe as if he slew a man he that sacrificeth a lamb as if he cut off a dogs neck he that offereth an oblation as if he offered swines blood he that burneth Incense as if he blessed an Idol Consider the ground and reason of this ye that say ye cannot be perfect and holy in this life whether ye are not in your own wayes and whether ye have not chosen your own wayes and your souls delighted in that which is abomination unto Christ who is the way the truth the life and he that is in it sinneth not what ever you may say who are in your own inventions and righteousnesse but are far off from the righteousnesse which is near to be revealed in the heart as all are who say Revelations are ceased for I declare to you all from my own experience not from the Letter but from the Spirit and Power of the Lord that I never heard the Voice nor knew the things of God from the Letter but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ for it hath pleased the Father to reveal his Son in me who is the light in which light I see light and the Father revealed who is the fountain thereof and broken Cisterns and corrupt Fountains are all drinking out of and feeding upon the wind and windy doctrine and vain hopes and eating that which dieth of it self and doth not satisfie and are all blind and dead in their sins are all they which saith that Revelation are ceased And this is a general cry with Priests and Professors who are gone in the way of Balaam and abides not in the Doctrine of Christ which should reveal the Father and of all Sects and Opinions whatsoever they are crying none can hear the Voice of Christ now but in the Letter To you I say who are setting up the Bible to be your Rule instead of the Spirit as the Jewes did who thought to have eternal life in the Scriptures and were painted as ye are with the Saints words being inwardly ravened from the light and spirit of the Lord which doth reveal as ever it did the things of God I say you are not like to hear his voice who are gone from the hearing ear nor to see his shape who are gone from the Light the seeing eye but the Saints and sheep did then hear his Voice and followed him and I witnesse his Voice to be heard now as ever it was and thousands in England besides me though I do confesse you which have the sheeps clothing but are not sheep do not nor cannot hear his Voice no more than the Jewes did who had the same clothing but were inwardly ravened from the Spirit of the Lord. Therefore all that would know God or the things of God must come to the measure of the Spirit in them a measure of which is given to every man to profit withall and this is nigh you in your hearts and as ye finke downe ye shall feele it working rising and operating in you and as ye are still ye shall feele ye spirit of the holy and pure God which hath been imprisoned and held in captivity under Pharaoh and the man of sin which hath been exalted in you above the spirit of God in you so all in this wait which is underneath the power of darkness and shineth in the darkness and out of the darkness shall it arise for he hath long dwelt in thick darkness and round about him hath been Clouds deep Waters I say wait in patience all you that sit in the region and shadow of death and the light shall rise until darknesse be under his feet even those dark mountains where you have been scattered and are scattered and how beautiful shall you witnesse his feet to be upon the Mountains Tongue nor Pen cannot utter even he that publisheth Salvation and saith unto Sion thy King raignes and this is the raigne of Christ and the only raign which the Scripture declares of That all his enemies should be under his feet for he must raign till he have subjected all things to himself even all that which hath captivated the Seed in Egyptian darknesse And then shall come to passe that saying which is written and nor till then Here is the patience of the Saints and here shall you feel the sufferings of Christ that are behinde and here is the time of Tryal and the very day of Jacobs trouble when he that hath led into captivity must go into captivity even as he ascends out of the grave and the pit he receiveth gifts for men but man is not meet to partake of the gift until that nature which would devour be destroyed And I say in bowels of everlasting love whose hearts are but breathing though never so little after the Lord speak not evil of that you know not nor judge nothing before the time until the spirit rise out of prison in you unto whom all judgement is committed and he will judge even he who is the judge of all the earth aright he will not condemn the righteous with the wicked nor slay the righteous with the wicked though man may who is gone from the spirit of truth in himself and knows not that there is a lie in his right hand and so calls good evil and evil good and puts light for darknesse himself being in that darkness and darknesse for light I am grieved for the sons of men at my very heart and greatly am I oppressed therewith and the iniquity of many lieth upon my life and I am pressed therewith as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves And oh how am I greived to see people that call themselves Christians and profess the scripturers to be their rule how contrary thereunto they walke and yet are condemning us for denying the scriptures who are in the life of them And as for your being Christians there is no such thing for you do not at all resemble God whom you say is your Father nor Christ his Son who loveth righteousness and hates iniquity and whose loins are girt with righteousnesse and whose throne is established in holiness and the Scepter of his Kingdom is a right Scepter and his Kingdom is everlasting and in his people and consist in righteousness Power and Glory And not in talke and words which you are in without the power or Joy in the Holy Ghost and yet you are saying you are his brethren but to you all I say who are in vaine words vain thoughts and actions in pleasure frendships and customes of the world which fades away as a flower and withereth as grass all repent and turn to the Light that you may see your sad conditions and from whence and from what are you fallen for he owns you not ye workers of iniquity all your Sacrifices while you commit sin or regard iniquity in your hearts are abomination to the Lord Isai 66.3 And so to you all and in love to your souls I say Come down for your strength is to stand still and to feel a seed in your selves though it be but as a grain of mustard and as you in patience wait low out of every thought reasoning and imagination which vails and clouds this pure seed which I speak of you shall see or feel it arise in you grow and multiply as the stars in the Firmament and as the sands in the Sea shore without number THE END

Consider this all ye that speak of being justified by Christ but live at ease and pleasure and are yet in your sins Rev. 7.13 And one of the Elders answered saying unto me What are these which are arrayed in white robes and whence came they And he said to me these are they which came out of great tribulation and have followed me in the regeneration and are come from far out of the degeneration and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his Temple consider there is no night there and he that sitteth on the Throne shall dwell among them they shall hunger no more neither thirst any more neither shall the Sun light on them nor any heat mark ye hot Professors for the Lamb that is in the midt of the Throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and these are they which sing the new song who are passed from the old things from death to life and stand before the Throne of God and these have the new name even their Fathers Name and the Name of the City of their God which name none knows but they that have it written in their foreheads and here is our joy and our glorying is not in the flesh nor our boasting in self but we glory in God and our souls shall make their boasts in the Lord this shall trouble the prond but the humble shall hear thereof and be glad That we know our Redeemer liveth and our election made sure unto us which cannot be deceived and our Names written in the Lambs Book of life before the foundation of the world was laid in mans heart oh every one that hungreth and thirsteth eat of the bread which satisfies and feed no longer nor spend your money for that which satisfies not come all to the waters which he hath shewed us as he did to John Rev. 22.1 A pure river of water of life clear as chrystal proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb in the midst of the streets of it come down to the eye and see the River that hath streets and of either side of the River was there the tree of life which bare twelve manner of fruits and yeeldeth her fruit every moneth and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the Nations This is the first resurrection the first and the last the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end and abides a Priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedeck without beginning of days or end of life Consider this all ye that are accusing us for denying the resurrection but are yet in your sins and have no part in the first resurrection which we are witnesses of for they are blessed and holy that hath part of the first resurrection for on such the curse death and hell hath no power blessed are they that do his Commandments yea more blessed then they that talk of them for they shall have right to this

River and an entrance shall be ministred to this tree of Life which grows in the midst of the Paradise of God here are those glorious things witnessed and known in them in whom Christ is glorified which are spoken of the City of our glorious God into which none shall enter but such as are purified and made glorious within it s not every one that saith Lord Lord that shall enter in Hear O ye Professors but such as do the will of my Father which is in Heaven the Kingdome is within and none but the pure in heart can see it but are crying Lo here and lo there contrary to Christs doctrine which saith Go not out after them the kingdom is within the seed even the light of the world was within the Jews and was sown in them but not grown in them which did crucifie him Matth. 24. Read and see whether your Teachers be not the same false Teachers deceivers and false Christs which Christ said had the sheeps clothing but were inwardly ravened and did not walk in but hated the light wherewith he had lighted them because their deeds were evil In the Epistle of John John sayes Little Children ye have heard say Antichrist shall come in the last time by this we know it is the last time for many Antichrists are come already And in the Revelations ye may read That the World went out and wondered after the Beast and false Prophet and said Who is able to make war with the Beast which made war with the Lamb and slew the Saints and them which kept the testimony of Jesus And this is that Mystery of Iniquity which began to work in the Apostles dayes even Mystery Babylon the great that had in her hand a golden cup full of Fornication and Abomination and the Beast carried her which made all Nations multitudes tongues and people Drunk with the wine of her Fornication and this is 16. hundred years since John said they were come which Christ said should come and the world went after them and they that would not receive the mark of the Beast and fall down to those Laws which he made then and ever since have been looked upon as deceivers and have been excommunicated burnt and tortured and have not been suffered to buy or sell for this many Generations these went out from the true Apostles which preached freely and coveted no mans silver gold or apparrel Paul said They preached for filthy lucre their god was their belly and their end destruction and from such turn away who have a forme but not the power Peter sayes Wo unto them for they ran greedily after the errour of Balaam 2 Pet. 2.14 15. And loved the wages of unrighteousnesse John who preached freely said They went out from them who were in the power and light of Christ Mark they went out from us who were in the light which is not of the world into the world they went and the world loved them and heard them because they were gone from the light which reproves the deeds of the world but had the words and the form as the true Apostles had these the world went and wondred after and these were they that was like Jannes and Jambres which Paul complained of 2 Tim. 3.8 5. Having a form of godlinesse but denied the power thereof and life thereof from such turn away And these are they that tell you you cannot be made perfect while you live and creep into Steeple-houses and your old Masse-houses when they have got an Order from the Beast or received his Mark from Oxford and Camebridge and there they learn the Letter Hebrew Greek and Latine and set that as the Jewes did above Christ and would not come unto him that they might have life and so they are become Ministers and feed people with the Letter and Minister that instead of Christ And herein they are preaching and doing like the Ministers of Christ as Jannes and Jambres Pharaohs Inchanters did Exodus 7.11 So that there is nothing in the true Church which is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ but there is the likeness in Babylon the false Church and synagogue of Satan there is preaching praying and singing among swearers lyars and drunkards as there was amongst the holy Saints but it is done by another power and Spirit as Pharaohs Inchanters did who was acted by the dark power of Egypt and not by Christ as Moses was Now Moses declared saying A Prophet like unto me shall the Lord God raise up in the midst of your brethren him shall you hear in what soever he saith unto you So all that hearken not to Christ Esay 55.1 which saith Every one that thisteth come ye to the waters and him that hath no money come ye buy and eat yea come buy wine and milk without money or without price wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfies not incline your ears and come unto me hear and your souls shall live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you even the sure mercies of David Consider this how long your Ministers have fed you with the Letter which killeth instead of the Spirit which giveth life is the Letter the Water here spoken of or is it the bread which satisfies seeing you have been feeding so long at your Teachers table and not come to the knowledge of the Truth which is Christ the Bread and giveth life to the Soul Consider and deal plainly with your selves doth not the Lord say That all his children shall be taught by him and he will write his law in their hearts and put his fear in their inward parts Jer. 31.31 33. And I will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest and I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more saith the Lord. Therefore all turn into the Light and walk in the light of the Lord and prise this day of your Visitation before it be hid from your eyes And from the Lord God this is a warning to you all that you own that which smites you in your Consciences obey it follow it and love it which discerneth and sheweth you when there is but an evil thought ariseth in you as I said before not to bring peace but a sword to convince the World of sin and with his sword to cut down the man of sin and to bring to light the hidden things of dishonesty and to search out the hidden things of Esau whom God hateth Esaus nature is the same as ever it was Judas and Cain is yet alive in all the children of Disobedience and betrayers of the Lord they are all which are in their sins though they are preaching against Cain for killing his brother Judas
