his Jealousie and it is his Day to work and none shall let and he which rules against Him he will remove from the Throne for He will set up an Everlasting Dominion and Government and of his own Scepter of Righteousness even from end unto end of the four Winds of the Heavens Seven-fold happy therefore is that Soul that beleives in Him and suffereth for his Righteousness sake And is it not an unspeakable shame to a Ruler to persecute innocent Souls new created Souls in the Glory of the similitude of their Maker Is it not a woful shame to Rulers to persecute them that watch to recompence good for evil and to shew the deeps of the bowels of Love and Mercy to such as heaped upon them extream weights of Oppression and Cruelty Can Rulers answer the bonds of humanity in such acts Nay How then can they answer the power of Sanctity in them For the sake of Edification of all Souls to Three Questions more I am drawn forth in the Light to answer Quest 1 What are the first powerful Operations of the Light in the Soul after Convincement of Sin Answ JUDGMENT CONDEMNATION and DEATH of the Mind of Transgression which must of necessity be for the cause of the Righteousness of the King of Glory unto whom no life in Sin and Corruption can unite for the Soul going into it went out from Him into the Enmity against Him and His Law of Righteousness and no part of that can ever enter into Him because it was never of Him and because He hath infused a righteous Law into the Inward parts of necessity therefore there must be a power of Judgement to execute the Righteousness of the Law in the place that it is put upon that which brake it which Power in Righteousness must absolutely bring Condemnation upon that mind which is the Transgressor in man and the Condemnation must as surely bring Death by the power of the Executor that no part of that Mind may evermore live but the Mind in which no Transgression is which was before Transgression was which must be perfectly wrought before Man can enter again into the first Similitude to unite with the King of Glory So here all may see the Judgement truly set up and executed in the inward parts bringing Death upon the Transgressor produced the benefit of a most Blessed Fruit viz. of Life Peace and Joy and openeth the door of the Fountain of Mercy giving the perfect knowledge thereof which then rejoyceth over Judgment for which cause of Mercy the Eternal Wisdom first instituted the Law and Power of Judgment to come fulfilling Righteousness in the Inward parts which thus appears bringing a Righteous Death upon an Unrighteous Life that by its Death a Righteous may for ever live wherein the Joy and Glory is partaked and inherited So then in the Judgment and Condemnation of that Life unto Death the Power and Glory of Mercy appeareth in the wonderful Wisdom that it might be for ever loved and lived in and the work of Wisdom admired and prized and the Worker of Salvation in the Power and most Excellent Glory of Mercy manifest in Judgement magnified over all everlastingly without end in all that love the Operation and accordingly are partakers of the sweet and happy Fruit of its Salvation in which the Unity with the King of Glory is witnessed Quest 2 Of every frame of Soul or fashion of Mind in Man which is the most certain of holding the Vnion and Fellowship with the King of Glory in Spirit Answ Watchfulness in Fear and Crosse Watch to fear the risings of the Concupisence which the Soul feeleth in the flesh towards the flesh and the World and also now lastly towards the Devil and there enter into that Internal Power which stands in the Crosse to the other Nature which will daily slay every carnal Affection in the first suggestion and appearance and break the Cockatrices Egg before the Serpent is hatched and thus all will come to see that the inward and visible Cross to the inward Mind of the World and the Flesh keeps the Soul clean out of the mind of the World and the Flesh in the mind of the Eternal Spirit Again Watch to fear in every Joy and Enjoyment of every Glorious and Heavenly Gift lest the Joy should slip out of the true measure and a sence of the Glory of the Gift exalt the Heart above the measure of the Light through which it comes and in which the Unity with the King of Glory stands and here all which come to see that Fear keeps every Joy and Enjoyment of Heavenly Gifts perfect to the measure wherein all Perfection is witnessed according to the proportion of all Gifts as they are given and come down from the perfect Giver So then the invisible Cross which keeps clean and Fear that keeps the Soul low and humble to the measure within in the Conscience will alwayes be found the safest frame and fashion of every man's mind to hold the most certain Vnion and Fellowship with the King of Glory as long as they are cloathed with the body of flesh untill it turns to the dust from whence it came and the Soul be from thenceforth cloathed and arrayed with the Glory of the Life of the King of Glory even for ever and evermore Quest Whether Man after being restored unto the Brightness of the first Similitude and entred into Unity with the Incorruptible Glory through death of the degenerated part may not fail from the Glory and enter again into the Degeneration and Curse Answ In the work of Creation it is to be known as formerly mentioned that the Soul of Man simply was not created immutable though clean pure and holy in a state of Innocency for the Eternal Wisdom reserved that Virtue Power and most glorious Property of Immutability in Himself only that He above all things might be known as the Supream Power over all the created things and accordingly feared loved obeyed and lived in which state I have shewed Man went out of and degenerated from and also have opened the direction unto the way and power of Redemption from the fall and losse and Restoration unto the first Similitude of the Holy One which unites with the Incorruptible Glory unto which state it is possible in the Light for all Mankinde to attain yet if they abide not in the immutable Power of Perservation that created their Souls but go from the unchangeable Life into the variable consultation with Flesh and its reason and sensual Wisdom they may return backwards as the Sea Locust and Canker and become as the Swine that was once washed but lo wallows again in the mire and the house may be clean swept yet except there be a Watch still kept seven unclean Spirits may enter that are worse than the former which were driven forth and a Virgin state may be attained unto but unless the Oyl of Wisdom in Watchfulness Diligence and Fear be
Element for if a burning Coal of Fire be cast into Water it becomes quenched by the Water or if a Drop of Water be cast into a great Flame of Fire it consumes to nought in a moment therefore it is not the visible Sun that gives the Fishes their being in the Seas nor yet Man his life upon the Earth but the visible Sun as aforesaid together with the Fishes and all other Creatures was made a servant unto Man unto whom all things unto this day are so continued that he having the service of all things visible yea of the Glory of the Winds which is an invisible Creature attending him with sustentation according to the Providence of the Glorious Eternal Wisdom should with his whole soul seek and feel after his Creator to attain unto the true knowledge of Him therein to worship Him with all Thanksgiving Glory Honour Obedience and Praise who as he made every thing to serve his Body into which his Glorious Wisdom infused a perfect and upright Soul which was the greatest of all Glories that in the beginning were created in how much it had a true resemblance in invisible manner of the Invisible Power and Glory that created it of which none other creature had the like could not expect lesse from Man than that he should worship and serve his Eternal Goodness with every Faculty of that Soul which He put into him But yet I draw nearer to the most certain and true Witness in every Conscience of Mankind to remonstrate a little the Glory of the most Glorious Sun of the Soul shewing how it is a Glory in the most Glorious Part where the external and visible Sun reacheth not to enlighten nor shine about That so in a little measure discerning the Excellency of the One in Glory exceeding the Other you may come to know aright the True Living Eternal Wise and Supream Power which ruleth and reigneth over all things In proceed whereof it is to be apprehended That the Soul and Mind of Man is the most noble part of Man in as much as every Member of the Body is acted as a continual Servant in Obedience to the Motions of the Soul and Mind of Man and also because the Soul is the Immortal Part being not formed of a dead substance as the Body was of the Earth which returneth to Earth but of an inspiring Breath of Life that for ever abides in a quick and feeling state the which Soul being taken out of the Body leaves it as aforesaid to a Conversion unto its first Mould Wherefore seeing the visible Sun only enlightens the Eye of flesh which is the servile part and reacheth no further to shine about a Man than without a Man from which a Garment Shelter or House is able to shade Cannot be the Supream Power and Glory But the Eternal Sun of the Soul shines into the Soul and enlightens the Inward Parts and searcheth the Heart and tryeth every secret Thought and is secret unto all things as having perfect knowledge of all things from which nothing can be hid For let a Man ascend to the Skyes it will reach him and search his dark heart there or if he go down into the Deeps it will follow him and be with him there and when the visible Sun is set and gone down under the Horizon even at Midnight the Light of the Soul can rip up every word and work in the inward secret thoughts of Sin and Evil done and committed by a Man and call the Soul to witness with it which brings a Judgement and Condemnation in the Conscience that smites a Man with Fear and Trembling within himself which the visible Sun in the Firmament cannot do for a Man may commit Beastliness and Murder whilst the visible Sun shines on him which he cannot do in Countenance nay nor without Condemnation of the Light of the Sun of the Soul and therefore the visible Sun must needs appear to be infinitly short of the Glory of the Invisible Light that created all things Again If the visible Sun had created the invisible Soul of Man then must it also search and save it and so be the greater Power and of a Nature doing all things which all may know that it is not so for in its proper nature as a single Creature it doth but serve in the things afore-mentioned not blowing any Wind nor raining any Water nor can it so much as drive back one Cloud of all that the VVind bloweth over it and so shaketh not the Trees nor troubleth the Seas which the storms of Wind do all which are created ruled and governed by the Eternal Power and Sun of the Soul of whom I speak but as a Child and Suckling He being in his Power Wisdom and Glory Infinite and Incomprehensible Yet in His Light I shew that although the Soul of Man is so inferiour to Him that the Souls of all Men in the Earth are comprehended of Him as a drop of Water in the Sea and as a Sand in the bottom thereof which every Man may feel within himself in his own particular Soul yet the low and poor Soul of Man reacheth to the heighth yea and far above the height of the prefixed Course and Circle of the visible Sun 's appointed daily Race So then the visible Sun as I have said reaching not within a man to search his Soul nay nor as it 's placed in the Firmament neither by Ray nor light of Ray thereof can enter so much as into divers Artificial places Caves or holes of Darkness made in the Earth through the Invention of the Soul of Man where the more servile part to wit the fleshly body of Man can enter being therefore in its glory so far yea and far more than I stand to mention below the poor Soul that it is infused by a Power into the body of Man Surely infinitly much more must it needs appear to be below the Glory of the Eternal Sun of the Soul and Power of the Creation by which the Soul was first made in His own likeness of Holiness and Innocency and comes again to be renewed into the same Image and Similitude to live in the invisible Glory of his most Glorious Life in the perfect Inheritance Fruition and Possession of his unspeakable Joyes and Pleasures for ever and evermore Now to the Purpose of the Universal and Everlasting Unity I am opened to speak of Three Properties of the Eternal Brightness That as all Men come to the Renovation into the first Similitude of Innocency and Union with their Maker in that Glory as the way is plainly and easily held forth unto all wherein they may so come to unite in their Maker as one sanctified Body for ever may see and sit down in the Joy of their happy Benefit therein 1. One Property of the Nature of the Holy One is Peace perfect Peace without ever having disquiet in himself All Souls therefore uniting to the principle of his Brightness in
