that any man should teach him for the same Anoynting that ruled in the Son of man teacheth him all things But since humane flesh that king of Beasts began to delight himself in the objects of the Creation more then in the Spirit Reason and Righteousness who manifests himself to be the indweller in the Five Sences of Hearing Seeing Tasting Smelling Feeling then he fell into blindness of mind and weakness of heart and runs abroad for a Teacher and Ruler And so selfish imaginations taking possession of the Five Sences and ruling as King in the room of Reason therein and working with Covetousnesse did set up one man to teach and rule over another and thereby the Spirit was killed and man was brought into bondage and became a greater Slave to such of his own kind then the Beasts of the field were to him And hereupon The Earth which was made to be a Common Treasury of relief for all both Beasts and Men was hedged in to In-closures by the teachers and rulers and the others were made Servants and Slaves And that Earth that is within this Creation made a Common Store-house for all is bought and sold and kept in the hands of a few whereby the great Creator is mightily dishonored as if he were a respector of persons delighting in the comfortable Livelihood of some and rejoycing in the miserable povertie and straits of others From the beginning it was not so But this coming in of Bondage is called A-dam because this ruling and teaching power without doth dam up the Spirit of Peace and Liberty First within the heart by filling it with slavish fears of others Secondly without by giving the bodies of one to be imprisoned punished and oppressed by the outward power of another And this evil was brought upon us through his own Covetousnesse whereby he is blinded and made weak and sees not the Law of Righteousnesse in his heart which is the pure light of Reason but looks abroad for it and thereby the Creation is cast under bondage and curse and the Creator is sleighted First by the Teachers and Rulers that sets themselves down in the Spirits room to teach and rule where he himself is only King Secondly by the other that refuses the Spirit to be taught and governed by fellow Creatures and this was called Israels Sin in casting off the Lord and chusing Saul one like themselves to be their King when as they had the same Spirit of Reason and government in themselves as he had if they were but subject And Israels rejecting of outward teachers and rulers to embrace the Lord and to be all taught and ruled by that righteous King that Jeremiah Prophesied shall rule in the new Heavens and new Earth in the latter dayes will be their Restauration from bondage Ier. 23.5 6. But for the present state of the old World that is running up like parchment in the fire and wearing away we see proud Imaginary flesh which is the wise Serpent rises up in flesh and gets dominion in some to rule over others and so forces one part of the Creation man to be a slave to another and thereby the Spirit is killed in both The one looks upon himself as a teacher and ruler and so is lifted up in pride over his fellow Creature The other looks upon himself as imperfect and so is dejected in his Spirit and looks upon his fellow Creature of his own Image as a Lord above him And thus Esau the man of flesh which is Covetousness and Pride hath killed Jacob the Spirit of meeknesse and righteous government in the light of Reason and rules over him And so the Earth that was made a common Treasury for all to live comfortably upon is become through mans unrighteous actions one over another to be a place wherein one torments another Now the great Creator who is the Spirit Reason suffered himself thus to be rejected and troden under foot by the covetous proud flesh for a certain time limited therefore saith he The Seed out of whom the Creation did proceed which is my Self shall bruise this Serpents head and restore my Creation again from this curse and bondage and when I the King of Righteousnesse raigns in every man I will be the blessing of the Earth and the joy of all Nations And since the coming in of the stoppage or the A-dam the Earth hath been inclosed and given to the Elder brother Esau or man of flesh and hath been bought and sold from one to another and Iacob or the yonger brother that is to succeed or come forth next who is the universal spreading power of righteousnesse that gives liberty to the whole Creation is made a servant And this Elder Son or man of bondage hath held the Earth in bondage to himself not by a meek Law of Righteousnesse But by subtle selfish Councels and by open and violent force for wherefore is it that there is such Wars and rumours of Wars in the Nations of the Earth and wherefore are men so mad to destroy one another But only to uphold Civil propriety of Honor Dominion and Riches one over another which is the curse the Creation groans under waiting for deliverance But when once the Earth becomes a Common Treasury again as it must for all the Prophesies of Scriptures and Reason are Circled here in this Community and mankind must have the Law of Righteousnesse once more writ in his heart and all must be made of one heart and one mind Then this Enmity in all Lands will cease for none shall dare to seek a Dominion over others neither shall any dare to kill another nor desire more of the Earth then another for he that will rule over imprison oppresse and kill his fellow Creatures under what pretence soever is a destroyer of the Creation and an actor of the Curse and walks contrary to the rule of righteousnesse Do as you would have others do to you and love your Enemies not in Words but in actions Therefore you powers of the Earth or Lord Esau the Elder brother because you have appeared to rule the Creation first take notice That the power that sets you to work is selvish Covetousnes and an aspiring Pride to live in glory and ease over Iacob the meek Spirit that is the Seed that lies hid in among the poor Common People or yonger Brother out of whom the blessing of Deliverance is to rise and spring up to all Nations And Reason the living king of righteousnesse doth only look on and lets thee alone That whereas thou counts thy self an Angel of Light thou shalt appear in the light of the Sun to be a Devil A-dam and the Curse that the Creation groans under and the time is now come for thy downfal and Iacob must rise who is the universal Spirit of love and righteousnesse that fils and will fill all the Earth Thou teaching and ruling power of flesh thou hast had three periods of time to vaunt
