Severation or variety of spirituall formings in which spirituall formes the Science of the Powers have stood in the Desire that is in the Fiat wherein every Science in the Desire to manifestation hath brought it selfe into a corporeall bodily Being Even so likewise the same grand Mystery Viz. The Essentiall Word of Gods power lyeth in Man the Image and likenesse of God both according to Eternity and time 8. By which Mystery the living Word of God doth utter and expresse it selfe either in Love or Anger or in fans●e according as the humane Mystery standeth in a moveable Desire or affection to Evillor Good as it is written With the holy thou art holy and with the perverse thou art perverse also such as the people is such a God they also have 9. For in what property the Mystery in Man is excited and awakened such a word uttereth it selfe from his powers as wee plainely see that nothing else but Vanity is uttered by the Wicked 10. Now how should there be a good expression and will where the Mystery to the Speaking and willing is a false ground and poysoned by the Devill in the wrath of nature which false Mystery can neither will nor doe any good that may be acceptable to God unlesse it be first enkindled by God that it obtain a Godly will and desire whence a divine expression and operation of good followeth 11. For Christ said An Evill tree cannot bring forth good fruit How then will he bring forth good fruit where a false tree standeth under a strange shew or glittering hypocrisie The purple-mantle of Christ hath its fruits in it but what is that to a false beast that is full of poyson and will cover himselfe with that Mantle and take it for his owne and yet bringeth forth nothing but hellish fruit Or what hath the Titular Christian to doe to boast and glory that he is a Christian whereas he liveth walketh and is without Christ 12. None is a Christian unlesse he be Tinctured anew with the spirit of Christ and sprung forth out of Gods love that the grace of God in Christ be manifest in the Mystery of his life as to the soul and cooperateth and willeth in the humane life 13. Now if he will become such a one then he must turne from his Imagining in the Cosmick Spirit wherewith the soule is covered and disguised and enters into Earthly workings and must become as a Child that onely inclineth it selfe with its whol affection to the Mother and draweth into it selfe the Mothers Milke of grace whence a new Ens groweth in which the life of grace ariseth that is the imputed grace must be borne and become man in him as to the internall ground without this there is none a Christian let him make never such devout shewes dissemble flatter and doe what he will his sins must be forgiven him onely through the Divine Alloquy or in Spiration in himselfe 14. Eor when Christ is Conceived in the inspired inspoken word of grace which the soule doth take and impresse into it selfe from his Promise then the foundation is layd in the corrupt or decayed Mystery to a Child of God and then the divine Impregnation beginneth and proceedeth wherein the humanity of Christ is conceived and borne which onely is the Temple of the Holy Ghost and from this new birth the fiery soule eateth Gods bread which commeth from Heaven and without this man hath no life in him John 6. which no Hypocrite under the Purple Mantle of Christ can enjoy but onely that man who is not borne of flesh and blood nor of the will of man but regenerate of God in whom the Word of God whence the first man was created speaketh ruleth liveth and willeth 15. For the life of Man was in the beginning in the Word John 1. when the same was inspired or breathed into the created Image but when it turned it selfe from the speaking of the Word into a peculiar selfe willing and speaking in good and evill that is into its owne lust and contrived Imagination then the first good will in the Creature to the re-expressing did perish and now he must enter againe into the first Speaking Word and speake with God or he is eternally without God 16. Which this present World cannot nor will not understand for it hath wholly and fully turned it selfe into a selfish speaking to the pleasure of the flesh and it speaketh forth in selfe-will meere Earthlinesse and transitory things as Honour might Power and Authority moreover Pride covetousnesse Envy and Malice it utters nothing else but the cunning crafty Serpent with its young and when these her young cannot get and uphold that which the selfe-will willeth then it speaketh forth from the cunning mischievous Malice and I●iquity with Money through the selfish power and violence many thousand Soldiers who must maintaine it by force that the selfe-will that is departed from God may be truely upheld as we now see before our eyes by which expression this selfe-will also is beaten downe and kils and destroyes it selfe 17. Therefore beloved Sir and fellow member in the life-Tree of Christ I would entreat you in a Christian way and stirre you up as one Member is bound to doe to another in the present Expression wayes and courses of the World where the Turba Magna doth also play and expresse it selfe and a great contesting pulling downe or degrading shall be constantly and stedfastly to keep your selfe in the internall speaking of Gods mercy and continually to enter into your internall ground and in no wise to be perswaded and misled by the Serpent to the false speaking of Brother-slaughter but you as a famous Lord continually behold your selfe in the Looking-glasse of Christs processe and Doctrine 18. For this present speaking is spoken in the wrath of God through his awakend and enkindled Anger and it is very evill and dangerous to have a hand and voyce therein especially when the Turba must be spoken it is altogether unfaithfull and it devoures its Father and Mother that brings it forth and it is a Besom of Gods Anger 19. Also there is great heed to be taken in respect of accepting and joyning to any of the Supposed Religions for which men contend and fight and not to assent with the conscience of Faith to one Party that gets the Victory for there is no other true Faith which saveth but onely CHRIST IN VS he onely destroyeth sin in us and bruiseth the head of the Serpents Imagination in us and ariseth in Gods righteousnesse which he with his blood hath fulfilled in us from the sleep of Death 20. Christ must arise from death in our poore soule namely in a new humanity which walketh and dwelleth with and in Christ in Heaven where Heaven is in the new man whereout proceede the workes of Love as it is meete and requisite for the Children of God 21. And though the externall man liveth in
