raised up Jesus from the dead comes to dwell in people and quicken their mortal bodies the power of God vvitnessed and the Spirit of Truth to be the guide and leader into all truth and to be their Comforter c. But vvhen this is fulfilled and vvitnessed there is no more need of any shadovv figure or ceremony to put us in remembrance but the Spirit of Truth being received brings all things to our remembrance and shews us things past present an to come vvhich declares plainly of the Father and no more to us in parables figures or shadows So now this Christ was before the World that now is began and was a seed before any Name was given to it which in process of time being begotten of God was born of a Virgin had a Body prepared to do the will of his Father as it is at this day but none knows him or ever shall Born but of a Virgin he that hath ears let him hear whose eye is single mind stayed on God forsakes all takes up the daily Cross denyes Self followes the Lamb wheresoever he goeth loves him that had been slain more then all more then Father Mother Wife Husband Children House or Lands Yea of his own Life these only knows him born though once like Mary said How can this be seeing I know not a man seeing I have no strength wisdom parts or abilities of my own but the answer is as it was be thou but the Virgin the Power of the most High shall over-shaddow thee and that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God this was Christs Name in the Womb a Holy thing read within and then had other names as Jesus and Emanuel and many more before these and many more since and yet he is but one and was before them all This is the I am which was before Abraham whose name in the beginning was the Word all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made in him was Life and the light was the Light of men c John 1.1 2 3 4 c. Awake therefore now ye shepherds who have been keeping your flock by night And look upwards ye earthly minded and behold his Star in the East the wise men whose eyes are in their head have seen it and been led by it till the Babe was found lying in a Manger for in the Inn there was no room for him He that hath an ear to hear let him hear and he that hath an eye let him see for the day is come that what we have seen in secret must be preached upon the House-tops Behold a wonder a woman doth compass a man and yet she is clothed with the Sun was there ever such a thing heard but this is in Heaven and none knowes it or ever shall as I said but the Virgin who is over shaddowed with the Power of the most High And this is the word of the Lord God unto all People upon Earth Therefore if thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of Light and God is Light but the double minded man is unstable in all his wayes and the Carnal mind is enmity against God and is not subject to him but the Virgin is subject to the Power of the most High where Christ is known to be first a holy thing then a Child given and a Son born which is Emanuel God with us a Saviour a wonderfull Counseller the mighty God the Prince of Peace with many other names which as I said before is given to this one incomprehensible being which the whole world cannot contain But that which may be known of God or Christ which is one is manifest in people there he is and is onely to be found and he that have seen him who is the Son hath seen the Father also but it is onely the pure single invisible eye that can see him for he is a Spirit and is known and worshipped onely in the Spirit and in the Truth c. This is that God which Paull preached to the Athenians that made the World and all men of one blood that dwells upon the face of the earth and hath appointed them bounds of their habitations times seasons that they all should seek the Lord if happily they might feel after him and find him who is come near to judgment and is the swift witness against all unrighteousness and ungodliness of men for he searches the heart and tries the 〈◊〉 and shews unto man what is his thought this is he that formed the Mountains and created the Winds whom the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain and yet dwells with him that is of an humble and contrite Spirit and trembleth at his word and he 〈◊〉 in his people whose God he onely is who know him dwell in them And saith David to the people Let God arise and his Enemies will be scattered as smoke before the Wind and this is he by whom all things was made as it is written John 1 1. Concerning the Word and the Scriptures IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God all things were made by him and vvithout him vvas not any thing made that vvas made in him vvas life and the lise is the Light of men and the Light shineth in the darkness but the Darkness comprehendeth it not c Read this now vvith understanding and thou wilt see that Christs name is called the Word of God as it is vvritten in Revel 19.13 And then if thou comest to see him the seed of the woman vvhich bruiseth the Serpents head thou mightst knovv the parable of the sovver vvhich sowed good seed in the field in all the sorts of ground there mentioned but the enemy sovved the tares in the field and the field is the vvorld vvhen the parable is opened and the seed is the vvord of God Luke 8 11 And saith David I have hid thy word in my heart that I might not sin against thee which vvas a Light to his feet and as a lamp to his path and said the Apostle We have a more sure vvord of prophesie then the outvvard voice though it came from the excellent glory vvhich ye do vvell to take heed unto as unto a Light in a dark place c. Novv this was not the Scriptures but of this the Scripture declares even of the vvord which vvas in the beginning before the Scriptures vvere vvritten vvhich cannot be properly in no sence called the vvord or vvord of God because it is many words declares of vvhat God did and said of his Creating the World by the vvord vvhich vvas not created by the Scriptures but holy men of God spake and vvrit them as they vvere moved by the Holy Spirit vvhich is the Word And said Moses God spake all these vvords Exod. 20 1● vvhich God vvas the Word in the beginning that spake the words and the vvord of

is that of which the body shall be full if the eye be single and what is that single eye or the one eye with which it is better to go to Heaven then with two into Hell-fire and what is that eye which is the Light of the body seeing the eye of the Lord is the guide 6. And what makes the difference between the wise Virgins and the foolish and whether the Lamp without oyl and the light burning be not the form or profession without the power and life which saves from sin and gives an entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of God 7. What wise man is that which Solomon speaks of whose eyes are in his head and what is that fool vvhose eyes are at the ends of the earth 8. And vvhat is that prudent man which foresees the evil and hides himself and what did he hide from and in what is the sure hiding place and what gives the fore-sight of evil what is that fool vvhich passeth on and is punished and vvhat is the head of every man 9. Whether the fear of the Lord be not the beginning of Wisdom and to depart from evil be not understanding and vvhether they vvho are not yet come unto the fear of the Lord vvhich is to depart from evil be yet come to the beginning of true vvisdom and if not yet come to the beginning it is possible they may be the fools vvhich may dye for vvant of wisdom if they do not speedily repent and turn to him that smites them for their folly c. So take this for an ansvver till thou knovv further of vvhich much might be said and of this kind but a few vvords to the vvise may be enough Concerning Christ second coming and Kingdom and Raign and of the Kingdoms of this World becoming his Kingdoms I Never read in all the Scriptures as I can remember of a third comming of Christ personally in his ovvn fingle person or of a personal reign besides vvhat shall be in his Saints But I have read of his coming the second time without sin unto salvation c. which the Apostles in their days did witness yea even his comming and Kingdom as may be mentioned hereafter I believe most people in that called Christ endom who have read the Scriptures will confess Christ is come once already even when he had the body prepared which he laid down and took up without the gates of Jerusalem this I grant was a personal comming or the God head dwelt in that person bodily this we conclude was his first comming to be manifest in these days and we beleive all the things that are written of him to be really true and that whatsoever he did or said must be fulfilled c. But now this being his first comming he tels his disciples while he was yet with them that he must go away and that it was expedient that he should go away or else said he the Comforter will not come the vvhich if I go avvay I shall send unto you even the Spirit of truth vvhich shall abide vvith you for ever c. Yet notvvithstanding sorrovv had filled their hearts though he tell them he vvould come again unto them and their heart should rejoyce and their joy no man should take from them This vvas his promise to his disciples vvhile he vvas yet personally vvith them and to comfort and strengthen yet more he told them that he that vvas vvith them should be in them c. For they loved his person for the sake of the frame quality of the spirit that dvvelt in him or else vvhat vvas his person being mean and contemtible to them more then another person but for that vvhich dvvells in him they loved him let none mistake I do not slight it nor the person of any of his brethren or children as they are prepared to do the vvill of their Father but I do knovv in Gods Counsel that it was even so as it hath been also in these days among vvhom God the Father of mercies hath as it were deprived some of his disciples of the personal presence of some of his dear sons servants which may be to this end that the same Spirit and Life might be felt possessed lived in enjoyed in themselvs in their own particulars in which onely their eternal well being consisteth And so he taught them to pray Our Father c. Not to look at his person and pray to him as a person without them but bid them pray to their Father which seeth in secret who would reward them openly and he that seeth in secret searcheth the heart trieth the reins he bid them pray thy Kingdom come the Kingdom of Heaven is within and the heart and reins and the searcher of them is within And he bid them wait at Jerusalem till they were endued with power from on high the Kingdom of God consisteth in power c. So they waited for his comming and Kingdom in their days after his bodily departure from them and also came to enjoy what they waited for and to receive the promise of the Father which was fulfilled unto them and in them For saith the Apostle we wait for his Son from heaven this was after he had suffered and was departed from them and at length sayd the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we know him that is true and are in him that is true this is the true God and eternall Life and this Life is in his Son And then again spake on this wise Wee have received a Kingdom which cannot be moved letus have grace in our hearts whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear for our God is a consuming sire c. So here they received the Kingdom and the Son of God was come they vvere in him vvho came unto them in his Kingdom Here vvas Christs prayer sulfilled vvho said That they might be one as vve are one thou in me and I in them and they in me that vve all might be perfect in one and here is their prayer also fulfilled or ansvvered vvho said the thy Kingdom come c. When they receive the Kingdom vvhich could not be moved vvhich Kingdom Christ tels them was vvithin so this they received vvitnessed which was the second time unto salvation from sin who never mentioned as ever I need of a personal coming and reign the third time or of a third coming in a single personal appearance as hath been imagined by many who know not the waiting to be endued with power from on high but a running in their ovvn vvils and times and vvill-vvorships and feigned humilicies vvhich is not at all accepted vvith God vvhile that birth is not being nor that body prepared vvhich only can do his vvill acceptably But this we have read of the pourings forth of the Spirit in the Last days upon all flesh then none is excepted and Sons and danghters should prophesse which is come to pass and that the Lord will come in ten thousands of his Saints to convince all the ungodly of their ungodly deeds and hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him and to execute his judgements this is comming to pass and that he will consume Antichrist by the Spirit of his mouth and destroy him with the brightness of his comming then not with carnal weapons but withspiritual he will destroy Antichrist when this is done then must the Kingdoms of this world needs become his and he shall Reign for ever and ever Blessed is the eye that sees and the heart that feels and understands these things for the time is born and the day is dawned in which they shall be fulfilled And this is the Word of the Lord of Heaven and Earth who is come to Reign and reigneth and vvill reign till all his enemies are become his footstool and the Kingdoms of this world become his Kingdoms and dominions even for ever for evermore Therefore let the earth tremble and them that fear and obey him rejoyce Amen Hallelujah Amen O Thou professor who are yet a transgressor Would'st thou know the Mysteries of God thou must first feel his Red Which will thy back sunce till thou leave works of night And walk in the Light this is the way to know the first day And also the rest which is Holy and for ever blest For Zacheus climbing was too high the Saviour to embrace But down below he was received in whom Salvation was The voyce that from the tree did call though below him he obeyed The little stature is not despis'd therefore be not afraid But come then down into the house with joy the Light receive For he 's the Saviour of all men that in his name believe The tree of Knowledge hath beguil'd and fed the birth must dye The tree of Life hath not been known while in the wisdom High Men have aspired and not desired with poverty and thirst To walk i' th Light with hearts upright the plain path of the just Therefore the Pearl from them is hid who dig not in the deep But with the sluggard and the fool in rags and folly sleep But now the awakning day is come the trump aloud doth sound The Life 's reveal'd as in days past mans wisdom to confound Therefore all people stand up and see the state in which you are For either Heaven or hells your Lot the hour is not far For I have heard from throne of God a dreadful voyce and cry O England England thou art visited and now thy end draws nigh Even so hasten thy Work O Lord God Almighty as thou hast shewed thy Servant and cut it short in Righteousness for thine Elect sake that cries unto thee night and day thotowout the whole Earth Even so come Lord Iesus come quickly saith my Soul Amen Written by a Servant of the living God who is a trembler with joy at the VVord of his Power for whose sake I am in outward bonds at Hartford but my peace can no man take from me blessed be the Lord the God of Jacob whose compassion fails not but his Mercies endures for ever and ever Amen W.B.
