to that of God in every man who are here him comes to know who upholds all things by his Word Power comes under the government of the Lord Jesus Christ and are the help Magistrates for him who hath all Power in Heaven and Earth given to him whose Kindom is now set up and setting up to whom the glory is given I will not give it to another saith the Lord but to his Son And such as are here they be in the higher power they seek that honor that comes from God only and honor the Son and the Father such as receive honor one from another and honor themselves receive Honor of men be such as be without the unbelieving not under Christs government Therefore all wait in the light which Christ Jesus hath inlightned you withal that with the light you may see Christ Jesus from whence it comes and receive power from Christ who hath all power in heaven and earth given to him which if you hate the light and do not believe in it which ye are enlightned withall which Light lets ye see mark your deeds whether they be wrought in God or no the Light doth let you see that comes to Christ him by whom the world was made before it was made this light will let you see whether your deeds be wrought in God but hating this light which lets you see it will be your condemnation so stop not the ear against that which tells ye what ye have been and tells ye what yee have done and tells ye what ye have said and tells ye what ways ye have walked in and what actions ye have acted and what deeds ye have committed stop not the ear against that but let the ear be open to that lest ye remain in the unconverted estate the unhealed estate in the transgression strangers from the life of God his Covenant of Light of Life and peace Therefore close not the eye which lets you see your words your wayes your actions for not closing the eye not stopping the ear the ear open the eye open Gods counsel is heard Gods secrets received out of the transgression ye come and healing ye wi●ness and the wisdom and secret of the Lord God and the renewing of your minde ye will here come to witness that stand and brought up that brings to stand in the counsel of God and do his will the eye being unclosed to that which lets you see and the ear being unstopt to that which cries to the Lord in you the Lords voyce is heard which keeps ye tender and from hardness of heart And to you this is the word of the Lord God and with that ye answer that of God in every man This shal stand for a witness for ever to ye or against ye And ye that have known the power of God take heed of your getting out of it and then that nature which is gone out of it sets up such in authority that the power hath thrown down which are out of it lest the Lord God sweep you both away with his power who joyn to that which formerly the power of the Lord God hath overthrown the Oppressor which would have reigned which the Lord hath overthrown and would not have the Lord to reign therefore the Lord laid it as the dust and as the ground with his power therefore keep you in that power and if any of them come in to repentance and doth acknowledg the power which hath thrown them down renewed and converted then ye are in unity then you are in one in that which makes plain the way of the Lord and laies down mountains that the Lord alone may be exalted and his house established on the top of the mountains And none is worthy to have the name of a Magistrate that is proud peevish selfish crabb●d or that is wilful or wicked or is heady high-minded for the Higher Power is to chain such from their intents mischievous ends that they would do and wrong the innocent with their unrighteousintents and such as touching judgment are blinde that be perverse ful of ambition pride such forget God is not in their thoughts those feel nor the burden of the oppressed they feel not the burden that the innocent groans under for such as be there be in that nature as burdens the just in particular in the general before whose eyes the fear of God is not who makes a prcy of the just of whom the Lords eye beholds who shal be a terror to the evil doer and a praise to them that do well which they all be that be in the higher power before whose eye is the fear of God whose eye they behold that watcheth over them the Almighty with whom they have peace in acting things that are righteous that of God in every man answering Now as concerning Priests and Teachers who wil not preach without a sum of money of whom they look for it of you with petitions to you come or send which themselves have not heard the voyce of the Lord the word of the Lord such as comes with petitions have not heard the voice of the Lord nor his word which was in the beginning are to stand by the Word commands them silence as it was in the days of Jeremiah and such the higher power silenceth that use their tongues whose doubts is for outward maintenance taking thought for that such are in the state of the Gentiles the kingdoms of the world seeking for that and not for the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of it first which the other things follow if this were found and a word from the Lord received and his counsel stood in people would be turned from their evil ways there would bee no want of outwards then but if they be Priests of the Readers of the Law to the people then they must have their Pulpit of wood and a thing made ready for their hands boast in other mens labours but this was not the practice of the Apostles but such are excluded out of the Kingdom the boasters and are from their own measure with which they should reach that of God in every man such be they who would have their mouths stopt and would stop the mouths of them that have the word of the Lord God immediately from his mouth and speaks his word by which all things were made without money or price freely So as ye all Magistrates be kept in the fear of God in the higher power in the true understanding and the true wisdom which is pure gentle from above easie to be intreated it will bring you to the true instructions and ye being in them it wil bring you to instruct all others where ever ye come or be in the wisdom ways of God Peace Righteousness and Truth Meeknesse and Patience whereby you may all come to love as the family of God and no frowardnesse or bitternesse but with wisdome order and rvle the creatures by which they were created for with that must all be governed to the glory of the Lord God the Creator with the wisdome by which all things are created G.
