As also, what God is within, and what without; how he is said to be one, yet two; when two and not one, yet then one, and not two. Likewise a word from the Lord touching the onely resurrection of the body, in, from, and to the Lord.

not But may be you will say the light that is there recorded is not to be understood the light of the Sun Moon c. but a light that is quoted in these several Scriptures to wit a divine and Spiritual light by which a creature beholds and enjoy God However God that is light appeareth in you discovering to you that the light in the creature is not the same light of the Sun yet the appearance of light in me sheweth me and that from Scripture declareth to me that one is as much divine as the other no more precious simply in it self then the other for as you have heard though Lights yet but Light with God so that all that is light is nothing but God for Light is Light and God is light this may be will in some measure be beleeved But now to the matter in hand I will make darknesse light and crooked things straight c. Whether it is intended the darknesse of the night to become the light of the day or it is the Dark as in several portions of Scripture is recorded yea it is intended that you call the darknesse in the Creature which darknesse is sin hell and misery this darknesse he will make Light Heaven and Felicity for in God is no darknesse sin nor misery yet this will he make Light So that now I am come to the place where I told you I would shew you the rise of Darknesse what it is and why it is called Darknesse To this end you shall find in Scripture a two-fold Power to wit more Powers than one yet notwithstanding there is no Power but of God and the Powers that be are ordained of God From hence you may observe the connexion hereof run in the plural not Power but Powers a Power of darknesse a Power of light a Power in the wicked a Power in the Godly yet you have held forth in the same Scripture but one God So then as it hath been proved and I beleeve by you all will be granted that the Power of Light Life and Salvation cometh from God the Power that acteth in the Godly hath its rise from God but then What shall we say to the Power of darknesse that Power in the wicked for in them is a great Power as saith the Prophet I have seen the wicked in great Power instance the Power in Esau in Pharoah the Power in Herod and Pilat by which they crucified Christ from whom came this Power the Scripture saith from above to wit from God yet this was the Power of darknesse of sin was it not a sinfull act to crucifie Christ that I know you will all conclude it was a wicked act and yet this act was according to the will of God as saith the History By the Power of God the Kings of the earth stood up and the Rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ c. What had they Power from God to destroy the Son of God was this the will of God so saith the Scripture by the Power of God they gathered together What to do Nothing but what thy hand and thy Councel determined before to be done Well friends consider this Power in Pilate was a dark sinful Power yet it came from God yea it was the Power of God as is recorded I form light I create darknesse I form Peace I create evil So that let it be a Power whatsoever in whomsoever whether in Flesh or Spirit wicked or Godly it is the Power of God yea came from God So that in time he will make this Power of darknesse a Power of Light that whereas you have called and condemned one Power for a dark sinfull Power you shall have it appear to you as now it is to me that it is a Power of Light for you heard this Power came from God this Power of darknesse ye●●●d is Light and in him is no darknesse So that consider though two Powers yet they have but one womb one bi●th ●o both Twins both brethren as Esau and Iaakob then if Tw●●s if bre●hr●n then one Flesh one Nature yea of the self same Nature of God from whom they came as well Esau as Iaakob Pharoah as Moses Pilate as Christ I say although these be di●●inct in reference to their several operations as two streams runneth contrary ways yet they are but of one Nature and that from one Fountain Herein it appeareth but a seeming opposition instance the Tide what striving for Victory yet but one Water yea and that from one Ocean So is the case with these Powers one opposite to the other contending for Victory till at last one overcomes another as the Tide the Stream Thus you may take notice from whence darknesse hath its rise only from God Secondly What Darknesse is nothing but light with God Thirdly Why it is called Darknesse is but only in reference to the Creatures apprehension to its appearance so nothing but imagined Darknesse therefore his meaning is that which appeareth now under the form of Darknesse shall ere long appear in a Visage of Light as saith the Text I will make darknesse light before them Again it may be granted by you as it hath been by some that the Power or Powers are of God yea that Power by which Pharaoh persecuted Israel that Power by which Pilate crucified Christ yet it will not be granted that God gave the Power so to do neither was it the Power but a corrupt thought or sinful imagination arising from the Devil and their own wicked inventions Answer Being now surrounded with the black Regiment whose Commander is the Devil and the whole legion consisting of the imaginations of the whole Creation I have no way to escape this Camp and bottomlesse gulf but by breaking through the Bulwark and strong hold fortified against me So that being armed with a weapon of Majesty I doubt not but that God in me shall cast down those strong holds and imaginations yea every thing that exalteth it self against the Power of the most high To that end attend the nature of your objection the sum thereof is to this effect that a sinful act or an act that is sinful hath not its being in the Power of God nor produced by the Power of God no not that act of crucifying the Son of God but from the Devil and their sinful imaginations If thou by whom the Objection was raised didst nakedly understand the truth therein contained I should not in the least molest thee but in that thou declarest Truth not knowing it I am engaged to unfold the same that thou maist know it for whereas thou sayest a sinful act is not produced by the Power of God its Truth for that which is not in the Power cannot be acted by the Power but an act that is sinful is not in God nor the Power of God therefore hath not its being in God nor acted by the Power of God for God is light and in him no
