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
