fiâ—st was naturall and the second spirituall and here thou speaks contrary to the Scriptures which saith he is the expresse image of the Father and here in all who do witness the Scriptures to be true must witness against thee who speaks contrary to the Scriptures and now to blind peoples eyes thou tells them thou understands it thus Adam was made after the Image of God God the Father Son and the holy Spirit come let us make man after our not my image To this I answer here thou hast added to the Scripture for God did not say not my image as thou doth charge him to say for the Scripture saith God created man in his own image in the image of God created he him as Gen. 1. 27. thou calls that image in which Adam was created the essentiall image and the image of Christ thou calls a personall image and here by them who dwell in the light thou art seen out of the substance in the images making to thy self images and likenesses from thy imaginations but in them thou canst not know God and Christ nor the image of God in which Adam was created in innocency and there is no such word in Scripture as essentiall image and here thou goes about to make three images and so amongst the image-makers thou art who art out of Gods commands and there thou may read thy self But now the Lord God is gathering his own seed by his eternall light out of all images and likenesses to be conformed to the image of his Son and to bear his image who is invisible which all the imaginers cannot enter into who stumble at the light but all such are seen by the children of the light and denied for now do they witness from the Lord the day of redemption yea plentious redemption is now witnessed by them who dwells in the light which comprehends the world and out of the world and out of the worlds teachings and out of the worlds ways and out of the worlds worships into the pure teachings of God into the Covenant where they know God are taught of him and no more can they be led by the blind guids for their eyes are opened which were blind now in the light of Christ the way is seen which leads unto God the Father of light in it all false prophets false teachers they do see by them cannot be deceived who come in sheeps cloathing and are beautifull outwardly decked with the Saints words but inwardly ravening Wolves and now their covering comes to be taken off which was none of there own and now the Wolf appears ravening against the Lambs of God for the day hath made them manifest and of them the Lambs of God are aware and in Innocency is preserved and in the pure wisdome which is not of this world in it they see and comprehend the serpents wisdome and subtility and craftiness and snares which for the righteous seed is laid but in the eternall lightmade manifest to the seed a way is seen out of then all and by the eternall power of the pure living God of life deliverance out of them all is witnessed eternall pure living prayses to him for evermore Given forth from the Love of God to the souls of those who desire to know the truth to take away all stumblings and cut of all occasions from all minds that in the light of Christ the truth they may see to be clear from all slanders and false accusations which from the unclean spirits proceed which goeth out of the mouth of the Dragon to devoure the innocent but from the dragon and all his floods the innocent is preserved Given forth from him who a witness stands for the truth of God against all deceipt Richard Hubberthorne Written from Mendlesham in Suffolk the 29. day of the 3.
