the World that all men through belief in the LIGHT might have Everlasting Life You that are in the Profession and Confession of a dead hope in a Saviour without you and are not in the Life of the Faith of the Substance CHRIST the living hope in you which clenseth the Soul from Sin and washeth the Heart from Iniquity Wait in the Silence for the Revelation of the LORD from Heaven who unto us is come that in you also he may be known and witnessed and testified to be come according to the Promise the second time without sin unto Salvation Wait for his Appearance in the Clouds to come breaking thorow the thickness of the blackness of the long night to come down in the Earth as a burning fire and to darken the Air with the smoak to set the Heavens in fire and to melt the Earth before him that you may come to know the Wonders of GOD fulfilled the Sun to be darkned and to become black as sackcloath of hair the Moon turned into blood and the Stars to fall from Heaven in the same substance to see and know these things come to passe and with the same eye by which the Glories of the Heavens were created and saw that it was good I say with the same Spirit and Life which spake forth the Prophecy which unto learned and unlearned is become as a Book that is sealed and hid from the Vultrous eye to witness the Prophesie fulfilled Wait for the Revelation of GOD's Plough in the Earth for the tearing up of the Ground and breaking the Clods thereof for a due preparation to receive the Seed of the Kingdom that you may become as GOD's Husbandry in the Earth and no longer remain as the barren Mountains thereof which never bear Plough thereon nor yeelded increase of good nor as the Woods of the Forrests whose Trees were never pruned which spread their unfruitful branches as thickets that cumber the ground Settle not your selves in the sluggards Rest nor as a wounded Fool with his putrified flesh who is rather willing to perish in death than to cut off his Corruption for life Be ye not alwayes as Moab setled upon the scent of the old lees for it stinks in the nostrils of GOD but wait for the Remove of the Ground and yeeld unto the hewings of GOD the Ax to be laid to the Root of the Tree and the Sword to the Soul that sinneth to know Judgment begin at the House of the LORD to cut off the Wicked in the Land And seek not to escape the day of GOD's Wrath but bear his Indignation within you as the just Reward of your sins which are called up unto Judgment against you And wait in patience until it be over and past that you may know his acceptable year to be come And when these things you know and witness fulfilled within you even as they are known and testified in the Life of GOD's Heritage you shall bear me Testimony in the Holy Ghost That although the Judgement be weighty the Ax burthensom and the flaming Sword of the LORD a most grievous thing all the burden the weight the grief and the travel is but of the carnal and sinful part And to it only is the irkesomness thereof until it be utterly cut off and slain upon the Crosse even of that part which is this day the cause of the cry of the Just in the Land and then you shall be one with the Judgement one with the Sword one with the Ax one with the Everlasting Burning of GOD to dwell in its glory for ever Here the true Purgatory is come and the sin is washed away thorow which the entrance is made into the habitation of the Peace of GOD and there is no true Rest without it Then there is no more sin no more transgression in the Land the cursed Earth is consumed with all her encrease the evil Ground and the Works which were wrought therein are burnt up together the New-Creation is come Jerusalem is created anew the old Heavens and the old Earth is passed away there is no more remembrance of them and Jerusalem is created an habitation of Peace the Glory of the LORD is in her and this is the holy City into which the Hebrews were entered which John prophesied should in these latter dayes come down from Heaven without whose gates are the Dogs Sorcerers Witches Whoremongers Murderers and whatsoever loveth or maketh a Lye into which we in the Kingdom are entered whose Kingdom is not of this World and you coming hither will enter into the way of the Wisdom and Counsel of the Most High to see all things purposes Statutes and Judgments by that of GOD ordered and brought forth in the Wisdom and Counsel of GOD and your own cast under foot as a corruptible thing for ever Then the whole Creation of GOD which travelleth in pain until the Redemption cometh will joy in the approach of Wisdom for then shal you use the Creatures singly to the proper end in the same Wisdom by the which they were created The burning desire of Lust shall dye and the evil appetite be taken away Increase

of the Enemy And make not the seat of Treachery your Trust nor pollished subtilty upon the head of Iniquity your Fort of Refuge for safety For it shall be as a rotten string in your right hand which

in Prison in the Prison-house and sittest solitary in darkness in the shadow of death the bonds of death have bound thee and the Covenant with Hell hath captivated thee many do look at thee with the countenance of mirth and wag their heads at thy mourning thou art as a Lamb among Lions and as a prey to the devouring beasts thou art as a spoyl to the mouth of the Fox and as a destruction to the teeth of the Wolf the wild Asse is offended at thy moving and snuffeth up the wind in scorn of thy breathing the Bulls of Bashan do pursue thee with roaring and push with their horns at thy dwelling

men of the World thou art sold as a Slave into Egypt and counted the out-casts of Israel though I have heard thy cry in the Land and bear marks of the bleeding of thy grief in my bosome yet I want the greatness of the weight of Wisdom to measure the depths of thy misery thou mournest as a Dove in the Deserts which hath lost her only mate thou weepest as the wayling of a Widow and Mother bereaved of

is with her He hath given her a new threshing Instrument with Teeth to thresh the Mountains to dust and to beat the Hills to powder to seive the Vanity of the Nations and to fan the Earth with her strength to be as a wound to every Wild-beast and destruction to the life of the Destroyer to be a snare to the Fowls of the Air and a fire to devour the Devourer to find out the Dens of the Earth and

the manifest Salvation of GOD unto the ends of the Earth as was spoken by the Word unto Isaiah his Prophet in whose face expresly we have the Revelation of the Father in whom we behold the Glory of the Son as the Glory of the only begotton of GOD full of Power and Wisdom hereby knowing what we Worship whom the whole world alienated from the Power Life Wisdom and Holiness of GOD do ignorantly Worship in the imaginations of their own hearts which before the Lord are only evil continually Him therefore declare I unto you GOD the Eternal and unto every mortal Invisible and Incomprehensible Spirit who is not likened unto the Creation which by the Power of his Eternal Word was made to glorifie hi●… Name by the Spirit sheweth That he dwelleth not in Temples made with hands neither is he worshipped by the Works of mens hands as if he needed any thing who from the beginning determined the times appointed and made all mankind of one mould and gave unto them Life and Breath and added thereunto of the Grace of his Mercy a measure of the Divine Nature if haply that thereby they might seek and feel after him the LORD their Creator But Man whom the LORD made little lower than the Angels and gave him the fulness of the Earth to possess rebelled at all times against his GOD he departed from the beginning from the living Way and made Invention the joy of his Heart and made his Inventions a fence against God and his Imaginations a Bullwark of defence and in all Ages and Generations though the LORD visited with Judgements Destruction Mercies and wonderful Deliverances and sent his Servants the Prophets arising up early and lying down late with Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line speaking as afar off by Signes and Figures and Parables and as at hand by Iudgement and Mercy And always shewed how that he is GOD and altogether unlimited neither bound unto Words nor Wonders nor limited in Sea or in Land but still Man made marks for GOD and set bounds for the Arm of his Power who in no wise is measured as the waters in the Wells nor contained as the Rivers with the banks who was not conceived as the Seed of Man nor born as the Babe of the Womb who is not comprehended as the grass with the ground nor as the wide swelling Seas with the sands of the shores who is not known as he knoweth all fowls and calleth the Stars by name who is not measured as the Earth with the Moon nor as the Heavens with the course of the Sun and therefore Man alwayes lost the knowledge of the eternal Power of the God-head and still settled in his own will which at first rebelled against GOD and in the same Will made Laws and Statutes and Ordinances for Government for Worship and for punishment though even from the dayes of the first man Adam unto this day the hand of the LORD GOD was turned against that work as witness the preaching of the Spirit of Abel Enoch and Noah he who hath an ear let him hear witness also Abraham Isaac and Jacob among the Heathen and Moses among the Egyptians yea witness the Spirit of Moses among Israel by Preaching by Power by Judgement and Deliverance What may I more say They would build a Tower to reach unto Heaven and Arks and Cities and Tabernacles and Temple And all for GOD to be constrained in their Works and when they had Commandments and Sacrifices as appointed by the Word of the LORD the Spirit sheweth when in all these things they would have forced the Rest of GOD the LORD arose alwayes against them and sent his Servants the Prophets to cry against those things with the same Word which commanded them whom they did beat imprison wound and torture yea and put to death And thus it alwayes was He that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit even as it is now and in like manner it hath been from the dayes of Abel until the Heir came and him they shamefully slew to possess the Vineyard Moreover of his dayes I may also speak even in the dayes of the LORD CHRIST when he was transfigured before his Disciples at the glorious appearance of Moses Eliah and the LORD the Disciples would build them Tabernacles but mercy appeared unto them in a Rebuke and they were instructed in the Way of GOD but yet and notwithstanding also that Paul the Apostle taught a pressing on from one degree of Faith unto another until all should be perfected unto the fulness of the measure of a compleat stature shewing also in the Resurrection who himself was risen with Christ the diversities of the measures of the Glories which were revealed and every measure as gathered into God in his fulness were respectively full shewing it by the figure of the Glories of the Lights of the Sun Moon and Stars and wrote to the Church how that he was caught up into the third Heaven and saw things which were unlawful to be uttered And John in the LORD'S Day in the Revelation of the Lord from Heaven saw the great things of GOD yet said the Angel unto him Come up hither I say notwithstanding all this the doctrine of GOD that he might be known to be GOD and not in any wise to be limited Man in his wilfulness and presumption unto this day hath set marks against him and made measures of words in their Wills as Cords of restraint to bind him yea the Heavens and the Earth and the depth of the Seas and all the increase of the Plant of the field and her seeding Seed the Sun Moon and Stars the Clouds the Winds the Hail and the Rain-bow of GOD shall witness against the Nations of the world in this matter They limit not God in their pleasure but do bow in subjection to his Will but the Nations of the Earth in the crookedness of their hearts have made walls against the passage of GOD. O Man lift up thine head and look and behold how the People and Inhabitants of the Earth do limit the LORD to their lusts O open thine Eye and see how they make GOD as a Transgressor in the Earth even as the Cattle of a Stranger which have fed in the fields of their Pasture and as the hand of a Thief and Robber which hath stolen the labour of another Look thorow the Earth among the Nations thereof and thou mayest read all their Professions as Prisons for the Reign of of GOD in the Conscience is limited by the forms of their Words and one cryeth Here and another saith There and another saith these are the Laws and the Precepts and he that will not Rest in this he is out of the Way of GOD and he that speaks against our Law and the Manners of our Worship he must bear the punishment thereof Concerning all which if the Conscience of GOD should demand Are your Words GOD
