that which he hath made because it is defiled through mans transgression Also the Way of Restoration of Salvation Redemption and of Life Eternal is here declared unto all the sons and daughters of Adam in the whole world that all may come to the knowledge of the Creator and to have fellowship with him again from whom all the children of men are separated in the state of enmity and are ignorant of him and drove from his presence This is to go abroad into all the Earth through the whole world as a Call and Visitation unto all mankind that they may hear and consider their condition and may return from whence they are fallen and may be restored again to serve and worship and glorifie and living God who made Heaven and Earth and all things therein By one who hath measured and viewed in true judgement the condition of all mankind who is a lover of souls and a friend to the Creation of God known in England by the Name of Edward Burrough LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert and are to be sold at his shop at the Black-spread-Eagle neer the West end of Pauls THis is chiefly to go abroad into the dark parts of the World among those called Heathens most especially but its service reacheth to all men and people upon the face of the earth And out of love unto the Creation and to all people in the world was it written and is it brought forth in publike that all that have ears to hear may hear and it is to be translated into several Languages by any who are moved of the Lord thereunto for of a truth the Lord is risen among us and God hath given the word from his mouth and many are they that publish it abroad through the world To all the World and all people upon the face of the Earth without exception TO all the Sons and Daughters of Adam in the whole world this is the Word of the Lord God the power that made you and that made Heaven and Earth and all things therein your state and condition consider How that you are all drove from God your Maker and from the knowledge of him and of his wayes which are life and peace and are in darkness blindness and ignorance feparated from that Power that made you and in the enmity against it and are enemies to it in all your wayes and words where the sorrow anguish wo and trouble is But the second Adam the Lord from Heaven the Power by whom all things were made who is called Christ Jesus hath lightned every one of you with the true light which shines in your hearts in darkness to give you the understanding of the knowledge of him that made you and of his salvation and redemption and of eternal life if you love the light with which you are all lightned And first The light measureth every mans state in true Judgement and with it you may all see your selves in the state wherein you now stand which is a state separated from God and the state wherein man was created which was blessed Therefore search and consider your state and condition in the light of the world of the dust of the ground were you made and into man vvas breathed the breath of life from the living power vvhich formed all things and man vvas made a living soul and vvas brought forth into the World in the Image and likeness of the Power that made him every one in particular that be come into the World for Male and Female in the Image of the Creator created he them without sin or evil man was a noble Plant vvholly a right Seed planted vvith the choicest Vine placed in paradise the Garden of the Creator and there vvas set to bring forth Fruit to glorifie and honor him by whom man and all creatures vvere made for man vvas made perfect and upright set in the councel of his Maker without sin or spot or evil in his sight and was the glory of the Creator and was made for his glory and Power and Wisdom vvas given unto man to rule and govern in Dominion in Righteousness and in Wisdom over all living creatures and was Lord over all things and had rule and authority over all the Creation and was Steward over all things whom the Creator had made who made all things for man and made them subject unto him to be ordered and governed by him and used to his glory by vvhom they were made and in that day when man was in the councel of him that made him and was subject to his Will he was blessed above all creatures and unto him was all creatures blessed and not any thing was evil that was made but good in his sight that made it and good unto man that vvas to use it he being brought forth in the Image of the Creator and had a measure of his Wisdom and his Power to teach him and to lead him in the exercise of all creatures and was in perfect freedom over all things to rule in the Wisdom of God And this was the state of man before transgression which state vvas blessed and not subject to the curse of misery or sorrow nor trouble nor torment but man disobeyed the Power that made him and went from its Councel and contrary to its will and grieved it and vexed it till it became his Enemy to fight against him and to curse him for he had transgressed against it by feeding that part which should not with the knowledge of things and so became vvise and lost uprightness touched that which the Povver that made him had forbidden so his mind heart adulterated from the Creator into the visible glories pleasures and things which were less then himself and so he became unprofitable to his Maker by transgressing against him and onely profitable to himself to seed and nourish and delight and please himself in the outward Creation and forgot the Power that made him and thus being vvith his mind turned into the earth there the evil entred and the devil overcame him vvith his temptations the power of the earthly darkness gained dominion over him to svvay his affections desires and lusts into vanities of the earth and he lost his dominion over the creatures and they gained dominion over him to serve and vvorship them and to please himself with them who became captive vvith his mind to be ruled by them in vanity and in evil And thus man became unprofitable to his Maker and unfruitful in the Garden and kept it not undefiled and

stealing and Whoredom and such like which are the fruits of the ground that is cursed for mans sake But now unto all people the sons and daughters of Adam the first man that ever vvas made though you be thus fallen into misery by transgression and helpless from your selves or from any other creature yet hath the living God the povver which made you and which you have transgressed against ordained and prepared a way to be restored and healed and to be brought to the injoyment and feeling of the Creator from the disobedience and from the curse and misery unto the blessing and happiness and unto all Mankind in particular is prepared a way out of death unto life out of the loss which every man hath received in transgression to salvation and redemption and deliverance out of the captivity and bondage which all is fallen into into liberty and freedom to serve his Maker to glorifie him for he hath not been served nor glorified but grieved and vexed by all men on the earth and so he hath brought misery and the curse upon all by forsaking them and leaving them under the power which made them not to be led and guided by it in rebellion unto destruction And now this same power by which man was made is mans Restorer and Deliverer and Redeemer and Saviour though he have transgressed against it for vvhen there vvas none to help nor to save of any creature upon the face of the earth the arm of that Power vvhich made all things stretched forth its self to save the creatures vvhich vvas made and that same Povver vvhich is trangressed is the Redeemer of all mankind though it is offended and burdened and pressed as a Cart vvith sheaves by transgression against the Creator and that is the povver vvhich vvorks out salvation and deliverance by slaying the enmity and condemning iniquity and removing the cursed ground out of mans heart that the evil Fruits may cease vvhich it brings forth and by this Povver all must be saved that ever are saved and delivered from Wrath. And this all men have been ignorant of and not felt nor knovvn nor tasted of the life and povver of the Creator though it hath been near unto every one and all men and creatures lives moves and hath their being by it and sustenance from it and yet man transgresses it and grieves it and is not led by it Therefore all people upon earth consider your condition and state and hearken to the Power that made you a measure of which moveth in the hearts of all mankind upon the face of the earth and it moveth against the evil and against the defiled and transgressing part in every mans heart that is come into the World and this Power by which all men was made and which they have transgressed against a measure of it from the Father is made manifest to all mankind upon the face of the Earth and convinceth of the evil of Murder and Adultery and such like and condemneth the works which are evil in every particular man whether Heathens or Christians so called and unto all people here is the way to be restored into Covenant with your Maker a measure of his power in you secretly moves upon you and calls to you to return to it to be led and guided by it in fear and obedience and subjection to it from which you have been driven and against which you have transgreded and this power the Creator hath sent his Son into the World and given him a gift unto all mankind he hath given light and understanding to every particular man to know good from evil truth from a lye right from wrong Justice from injustice and equity from falshood and this Power of the Son of God in you doth witness to you and accept you when with it you be guided and vvhen according to it you speak and act and it justifies the good and the right and the equal and excuses all men in that from condemnation but against lying and wrong dealing and deceit and injustice it testifies and when you do these things you transgress against that Power that made you which should save you and justifie you and excuse you and with it you are accused and condemned and it brings trouble upon you and the curse of misery and sorrow and this Power in you will search your hearts and try your reins and let you see your thoughts and make manifest unto you the state and condition of mankind who is become enemy to his Maker in following that which brings death upon which the wrath remaineth till there be a returning unto the Power by which man was made a measure of which as I have said moveth in the hearts of the sons and daughters of Adam in all the world And now if every one of you do turn your minds from the World and from the glories and vanities thereof and from the evil which hath possessed you in thoughts actions and if you stand still for a moment from willing and desiring to your selves and after the World this shall you find secretly moving in you which shall draw you towards the Creator to enjoy him and to see his glory which none that are still in transgression against him can ever partake of or behold and if to that you hearken within you and heed it and follow it which witnesseth to that Power that made you to be great and mighty and wonderful this will shew that you are short of his glory and it will condemn evil in you in all thoughts and words actions which proceedeth out of the cursed ground in which the Creator hath no pleasure and this will take away the vail vvhich is spread over you all and open the blinde eye and unstop the deaf ear and bring you to hear and see and understand the things vvhich are eternal which belongs unto your peace and if you all come to be guided by that which moves in you against evil it vvill lead you up to its self to be renewed and changed out of the evil and from under the devils povver under which every man bath been subject which Povver hath been out of truth into the Image and likeness of the Creator and to be restored to his Inheritance to enjoy peace and rest for ever And this is the Word of the Creator of Heaven and Earth to you all and to all mankind this is the Way unto redemption and salvation unto the blessing out of all sorrow and troubles and afflictions and torments and vvoes and miseries vvhich is the Portion for ever of all that disobeys this Power which moves against evil in you which is the Power of him that made all men and things which moveth in your hearts against all that which the Creator never placed in you but w● are fruits of darkness I say unto you all This power in you must you own and believe in follow and be guided by it
