contrary are they but this distinction must not always last for when Christ comes forth to give up that principle of life in himself and to slay it in them whereby they have thus lived the leaves and fruit of variety and distinction wil soon wither and they will all return back into union and harmony again then shall the earth diselose her blood so Christ brings them both into one and takes them both with all their differences into his own Body and destroys all their differences and offers up all that God dislikes in them in his own Body on the Cross and so sweetly heals up the differences between God and the Creatures by his intire love unto them Epist III. Concerning seven dispensations which hath and shall be fulfilled in their end of time THe first dispensation was when God gave the Law to Adam as soon as he had made him as In the day thou eatest thou shalt die Now this Law it was holy just and good yet it was a killing word or the killing letter for it took hold on Adams disobedience and slew him so all Flesh died for all Flesh broke the Covenant in Adam and so all Humane Flesh was cast under that dispensation of death so every opposite estate wil seek to advance it self The second dispensation is in the first Promise or Manifestation of the Love of God to the creature and the Curse to the Serpent in these words The seed of the woman shall bruise the Scrpents head Gen. 3.15 22.18 and this continued from Adam til Abraham Then the third dispensation or discovery of God is more clear than the former for unto Abraham he speaks more particularly he doth not stil say in general terms the seed of the woman but in thy seed Abraham all Nations of the earth shal bee blessed and so points out more directly in what lineage and generation of Mankinde God would first appear in to bruise the Serpents head and this dispensation continued from Abraham to Moses and they imbraced the promises The fourth dispensation is from Moses till God manifested himself in the Flesh or till Jesus Christ was born of Mary who was one of the house of David and of the lineage of Abraham and this dispensation is more clear than the former for God by Types and Figures and Ceremonies and Shadows did manifest his love to his creatures and his wrath to the Serpent as we may understand when God appears in Johns Baptism or the Water Baptism which did much type forth the Baptism of the Spirit by Fire and the Holy Ghost which should refine and purifie them and saith John I must decrease or that administration I lived in but he that cometh after me which is Christ shal increase and shal baptize you with the Holy Ghost and also God did manifestly set forth his love by the Prophets in that dispensation for then was the shadow of the Law of Moses falling and Gospel-Truths rising whereby they should be the more ceasing from Man whose breath is in his Nostrils and so likewise the love of God did much appear when the sacrifice was slain and offered then God received an atonement it being a type of Gods in-dwelling in the Flesh or a shadow of Christ the Lamb the substances of all those sacrifices and I pray you consider those things which are spoken allegorically concerning Achan Josh 7.26 where it appears that when Achan that troubled Israel was put to death in the valley of Achor the fierceness of Gods wrath was turned away And in Hosea ch 2. v 14 15. where he saith I wil give the valley of Acher for a door of hope which was the place of Achans death so when the Serpent who is our trouble is subdued and killed in the valley of human flesh then the dispensation of mods anger is turned away The fifth dispensation is from the time that God was manifested in the flesh in the person of Iesus Christ to the time that he appeared in the flesh and person of his Saints likewise this also is more clear then the former for Iesus the annoynted was the substance of all those types and shadows of the Mosaical Law for now God doth manifestly appear to dwel in the flesh and by a manifest being to set the Creature free from bonbage and by Immortal life to swallow mort I beings into himself The sixth dispensation is from the time that God appeared in the flesh of the Saints till the perfect gathering up of the Elect which is the work of that dispensation which is called a Referrection day or a great day of Iudgment for so long as the Iudge sits upon the Iudgment seat it is the day of Iudgment which he doth in every dispensation until the time of the Restitution of all things both which are in heaven and which are on earth even in Christ Eph. 1.10 Rev 10.7 but in the dayes of the voice of the seventh Angel when he shal begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished as he hath declared to his servants the Prophets so Gor. i. 15.24 then cometh the end when he that is Christ shal have delivered up his Kingdom to God even the Father compared with Acts 3.21 and this also is more clear then the former as God appeared in Christ who is the root of the creation it was a sign of God the father appearing in the whole body for saith Christ I and the children that thou hast gave me for signes and wonders and according to his promise by Joel ch 2. v. 28. I wil powre out my spirit upon all Flesh c. the Apostles also finding the same in them selves bare witness to it Acts 2.16 And thus I give you a hint of the seventh dispensation when the Gospels declaration shall be fulfilled and we to be transformed and changed into the Heavenly Image whereby all things may be restored into the Indissolable band into the unity and peace of God which passeth all understanding of man and all wars to cease for so long as dispensations last and we under them we are at warts among our selves and with God also in one sense and a rechangable while we are under dispensations and are to be changed from glory to glory as God doth in Scripture declare seven great dispensations or discoveries of his counsel and will each one clearer then other yet in every one of these God doth send forth several other dispensations by the hand of Angels for the carrying on of the work of that time and season which are discoveries of his glory for whatsoever comes from God is a spiritual power and it may be said to be declared by angels as when God appeared in discoveries to his peopel an angel is said to appear unto them as to Joseph in a dream Zachariah in a vision unto Araham and Lot it is said Angels appeared and likewise he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall

be all in love to injoy God in time of trouble or at all times and to be with him in Spirit where he is this is an Heavenly estate to see the invisible appear in the visible and to swallow it up in it self in love as Enech that walked with God and was not but there is such a way for Saints to go before they come to injoy their Kingdome or to enter into their glory as followeth as Iesus Christ hath shewed us in that which is called the Lords Supper and Baptism that no Flesh wil indure it as wil appear First from those words of Christ in Mat. 20.19.20.21 for when he was defired by the mother of Zebedees children that her two sons might sit the one at his right hand and the other at his left in his kingdome his answer was You know not what you ask for saith he Are ye able to drink of the Cup that I shal drink of and to be Baptised with the Baptisme what Jam Baptised withall As if he should say the way that leads to my kindome is a Crucifying way even from the beginning to the end as it was with me who was persecuted from my birth to my death it is a way sprinkled with blood and burning with Fire very sharp and bitter and no sweetnesse in it for many storms and tempests wil arise and fall upon your travel to Canaan you must be crowned with thorts and you must be tempted with the Serpent buffeted with Satan and persecuted with Herod and how are you able to endure this saith they we are able then saith Christ again you stall indeed drink of the Cup that J drink of and be baptised with the baptisme that J am baptised with but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give but it shall be given to chem for whom it is prepared of my Father which is as much as to say you must suffer the losse of all things below or besides me and the way which I have gone you shall go the death which I have suffered you shall in some measure suffer and then having gon the way and suffered the death you wil say Father Glorifie thy Son that thy Son may Glorifie thee then wil he give you a crown of life which is laid up for you in the kingdom of heaven and as Paul saith J have run the race and obtained the price in Jesus Christ J have finished my cross henceforth is laid up for me a Crown of glory even the Lord and Christ himself saith that for the glory which was set before him he indured the crosse and despised the shame drunk his cup and received his Baptisme and after entred into his glory And thus he went before us as a pattern or an example for us but when we have obtained the Kingdom and received the Crown the kingdom being delivered up to the father we are not Christ is all unto God the onely one for we then are not our owne but we are Christs and Christ is Gods and so an union betwixt Christ and us and an union betwixt God and Christ into one entire and alone essence then is the Kingdome deliverd up unto God by Christ and then God the Father is as he was that is all in all and out of that all all came forth and into that all shall all be through Christ who is the strength of God be reduced into God and yet a visible appearance through the invisible and in him to appear this is one glimps of the mystery of the Divine Deity operative acting through it self in the illustration of it self which is wisdoms work and the Spirits teaching therefore let all flesh be silent before tke Lord for it is not he that heareth my words Saith Christ but he that doth my will he it is that is my disciple blessed for ever in the name of the Father Epist VII Concerning a word of exhortation to Christians to support the bruised Reed that the smoaking flax may be set on fire in these Gospel-times O How good a thing it is for Christians to walk close with God in that dispensation wherein he appeareth unto them in for no one can truly serve God out of that dispensation wherein he appeareth unto them therefore then to walk up to what they know and to judg others that are not under the same though there be several dispensations or administrations yet the same Lord though they may be severally acted yet all by one spirit if they be sincere and upright in heart and of a meek and quiet spirit who dwels in love otherwise they are but the world a Saint is known by one of the same spirit and disowned by the world for they love their own and the proof of a Saint is to show his strength in time of need that is to own all things that is of God and to bear with the weak brethren and to cherish that in them which is to be cherished and to offer up that to the fire which is to be burnt But how prone is man to be judging and condemning Man hath an eye and light in his day and he cannot forbear passing his judgment there upon things or persons the natural man wil be judging natural things and the spiritual man wil be judging spiritual things men wil be judging men Christians wil be judging Christians yea both wil be judging there is a day of man and the day of God man is judging in his day if there be not so much light as to make the day of the Lord appear in man it is but mans day and so the worthlesness of his judgment appears in Pauls account for saith he it is with me avery small thing that I should be judged of you or of mans judgment man cannot be more forward to judg me then I am to slight him in that action for mans judgment is too shallow to judg in spiritual things judg not saith Christ and he himself forbear judging I judg no man Iob 8 15. though if he had judged his judgment had been true vers 16. yet being not his time to judg though he was judg he could for bear his sentence until the proper season of it therfore saith Paul judg nothing before the time until the Lord come who wil both bring to light the hidden things of darkuess and wil make manifest the counsels of the heart therefore saith Paul With me it is a very small thing that J should be judged of you or of mans judgment yea I judg not mine own self 1 Cor. 4.3 Who art thou that indgest another mans servant to his own master he standeth or falleth or wherein thou iudgest another thou condemnest thy self it belongs to the Lord to be iudg for thou O man hast no more right to iudg thy fellow servant then he has to iudg thee therfore iudg nothing before the time in the things of God for he has kept his own light for his
