to the people upon it and spirit to them that walk therein I the Lord have called thee in Righteousness and will hold thy hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles Now this Covenant to the people and this light to the Gentiles that the Prophet speak of the Gentiles witness now the light and the people witness this Covenant of God and Gods promise fulfilled And them that were Ministes of this Covenant were sent to turn the Gentiles from darkness to the light and chose Iews and those Gentiles that did believe in the Light did believe the everlasting Covenant and did receive the everlasting Covenant and the glory of Israel and this brought in the Gentiles to light which broke down the Partition-wall between the Iew and the Gentile and of twain made one new man which covenant of Light the Prophet saw before he was come and when he was come your fathers owned him not neither received though by signs and wonders and miracles confirmed he his Ministry that he came from God yet said they blasphemously which had the Prophets words and Moses words but out of the life of both That by Beelzebub the Prince of the devils he cast them out And here they having the words and not the life when the thing was come that the words spoke of they that had the words knew him not and the Gentiles their mindes being alienated from the life of God and strangers from the Covenant of promise and Common-wealth of Israel to them the light was promised and that to it the Gentiles should come which many did and do now injoy and know the unsearchable Riches that are hid in God Christ Iesus And the Iews and the Gentiles receiving the Light the Covenant of promise they come to be baptized with the spirit into the one body and that Covenant of Light which brings in the Gentiles le ts see the end of the first covenant that doth decay and le ts see the everlasting covenant Christ Iesus wh● came to fulfil the Law and not to break it heaven and earth shall pass away but not one tittle of the Law shall pass away Psal 19.7 the Law is perfect converting the soul and brings it from under that which was against it and so at this covenant of God the Light of the Gentiles the Iews stumble which covenant the Prophets prophesied of and your fathers in those dayes stood against and so here is the saying fulfilled Ps 69.22 The builders rejected the corner stone and as David said Their Table became a snare a trap and a stumbling-block and a recompence unto them And hath it not been so I say then have they stumbled that they should fall Rom. 11.11 God forbid but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles for to provoke them to jealousie take notice of that Now if the fall of them be the Riches of the world Vers 12. and the diminishing of them mark the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness I speak to you Gentiles So here who are come into the life of Moses and the Prophets do witness that which Moses and the Prophets said should come to pass That Christ should suffer and rise from the dead and shew light to the people and to the Gentiles in which Light Iews and Gentiles are one I will make an everlasting covenant with you saith the Lord Isa 54.55 56. even the sure mercies of David behold I will give him for a witness to the people a leader and commander to the people Behold thou shalt call a Nation that knew thee not and nations that knew thee not shall run unto thee Now this everlasting covenant is witnessed to which Nations run and the people witness the leader which you that had the covenant which did decay stood against and do injoy the covenant of peace and authority which you do not that have not the life which I will not remove saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee and every one that keeps from polluting takes hold of this covenant As for me this is my covenant with them saith the Lord my Spirit that is in thee c. So the everlasting Covenant is witnessed which doth not decay with which is seen that which doth decay I will make an everlasting covenant with them and their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and saith the Lord My glory shall be declared among the Gentiles and I will take of them for Priests and Levites saith the Lord And behold saith the Lord the days come that I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Iudah not according to the covenant which I made with their Fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the Land of Egypt which covenant they brake though I was an husband to them saith the Lord but this shall be the covenant which I will make with the House of Israel After those dayes I will put my law into their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying Know the Lord for they shall all know me from the greatest to the least saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more Mind this you that have this first covenant which was given to your fathers when they came out of the Land of Egypt but saith the Lord I will make a new covenant not according to the covenant I made with your fathers which was to decay for there you had a Law in Tables of Stone writ but here in this covenant you shall have the Law written in your hearts with which you shall come to know the Lord and need not say Know the Lord And here is the Covenant which is everlasting Now the covenant which was made with your fathers while that was standing you were to be taught the Lord but this covenant being witnessed and received the Law-Writer in your hearts you shall no more every man teach his brother and his neighbor saying Know the Lord for all shall know him from the greatest to the least And now thousands do witness this second covenant this everlasting covenant not according to that covenant given to your Fathers in Tables of Stone but the everlasting covenant w●i●ten in the heart where they know the Lord And these witness the second cove●a●t where the iniquities are forgiven Ier. 31. and the sins and transgressions the Lord will remember no more If these Ordinances depart from before me saith the Lord then shall the seed of Israel cease from being a Nation before me for ever and I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me for ever for the good of them and of

life you know not the voice of the Prophets though they be read among you every Sabbath-day now Christ the end of them so coming not to the Prophets life you come not to Christ the life whom the Prophets testified of who said unto your Fathers Ye will not come to me that ye might have life who had that which testified of him so he now is witnessed that the Scripture testifies of who is the light and life which light is the life of man him by whom the world was made And your Fathers which had the Prophets words and Moses words being strangers from the life were them that said They saw but were them that were blinde saw not Christ the Just One that the Prophets shewed the coming of and Moses spoke of which you had your Law from who said Like to him God would raise up a Prophet him you should hear whom you did not hear but put him away from you who were out of the life of the Prophets and would not hear him that was the life of them and said As for this man you knew not whence he was and would not have him to rule over you Therefore consider you since your Fathers nor you never came to see this Prophet which Moses spoke of and the Prophets testified of whom your Fathers had the words but not come to the life which you never come to see until you come to the life of Moses and Abraham that saw his glory and that will let you see Christ the end of them and that which the Prophets spake of and wrote of and gave testimony of which all his Holy Apostles witnessed after his Resurrection him who was the Covenant that the Prophets and Moses gave Testimony of which you having the words but being found out of the life them persecuted But that now you may c●me to see in this mighty day of the Lord his gatherings together with his Covenant of light and his mighty power which is everlasting and changeth not where the prophesie is opened and things not declared or is known which gathers together in one up to God which leadeth out of the changeable things up to God who is a Spirit and the hour is now come wherein they worship him in spirit And the salvation of the Jews which is to the end of the earth is believed in and witnessed and the time of the Gentiles not believing in the Light is seen and their Conversation wherein was the excess wantonness lust wine reviling banquetting and abominable idolatry with which Light from them who believe in it are turned and come to the honest conversation the obtaining of the Savior Iesus Christ who hath abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel And the Gospel is preached to the Gentiles which is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth in the Light and him saith God I give for a Covenant a light to the Gentiles and when this Covenant of God was come Christ Iesus the everlasting covenant said he Believe in the Light I am come a Light into the world and he that abideth in the Light shall not abide in darkne And the Embassadors of this Covenant of light Life and Peace hazarded their lives among the Iews and Gentiles among all sorts of people which w●re ●ut of the life of the Law and they did preach to them to the Gentiles and do still for the Covenant of Light is everlasting to bring them to it but now many have the words declared from this Covenant of Light but yet are strangers to it and them that kill the ●o●d Iesus Christ and their own Prophets have persecuted the Apostles and pleased not God but were contrary to all men these were of your Fathers who had the words but were strangers to the life and these did forbid speaking to the Gentiles to whom the Covenant was promised they themselves being in the transgression out of the life of what they profest and out of the life of the Prophets who declared this Covenant but now the Riches of the glory of the mysterie of the Gentiles is known which God would make known which had been hid from ages and generations which is now made manifest to his Saints which is Christ in them the Hope of glory whom we preach warning every man that we present every man perfect in Christ Iesus the Light the everlasting covenant of God Now such Gentiles that walk after the vanity of their minde are strangers yet from the glory of Israel and the Common-wealth and the life of God and the covenant of Light but God is gathering with his covenant of Light up to himself both Iews and Gentiles in one I say his everlasting covenant not according to the old covenant which he gave to your Fathers when they were brought up out of the land of Egypt which did decay and wax old for this covenant never doth decay or wax old Glory glory to the Lord God of life for ever And so the Gentiles that are not yet come to own the light are without the true Hope without God in the world and so the promise being to the Seed he saith not unto Seeds as of many but of one which is thy Seed which is Christ And this I say Gal. 3. That the covenant that was confirmed before ●f God in Christ the Law which was 43● yeers after cannot disannul that i● should make the promise of none effect that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ as it s writen I will give him to be a light to whom he was preached after his Resurrection and this Light brings from giving offence to Jew and Gentile that believe but offends both that be against it Eph. 2 3 chap. And when the Gentiles which had not the Law did the thing contained in the Law which shewed the works of the Law written in their hearts that judged you Jews that had the Law and were transgressors of it which caused the Gentiles to blaspheme God and so your circumcision became uncircumcision and their uncircumcision became circumcision and judged you so the Light which is the life joynes Jews and Gentiles together in one up to one God who is Light who is Lord of all and rich to all with which Spirit they come to be baptized into one Body And here that you may come to know the Salvation that is sent to the Gentiles the everlasting covenant which among them is witnessed which God of old promised and Christ the Prophet sayes Go not in the way of the Gentiles but to the lost Sheep of the House of Israel Now when your Fathers had delivered him up to be crucified he sent them to preach to all Nations to the Jews and to the Gentiles and when the Jews did not hear your Fathers that had the words of the Prophets and Moses which spake of this Covenant they turned to the Gentiles

in prison Now you who have had the words declared forth from the Prophets and Moses but not being guided with that spirit that gave them forth you see not the captive but are captives sees not him that brings deliverance and heals the broken hearted and recovers to the blinde their sight and sets at liberty them that are bruised that leads captivity captive and gives deliverance to the captive and this is not known till you come to the covenant of Light And when Ezekiel was among the Captives at the River of Keba the Heavens were opened and he saw the Vision of God Mark when he was among the captives and he was to go to them of the captivity and speak to them and after he was commanded to speak to the captives the Spirit of the Lord took him up and brought him to them So consider now you that have had the Prophets words but not knowing him that is on High that leads captivity captive being found out of the life are scattered abroad but hearken to the Light that will discover your iniquity whereby your captivity may be turned away whereby you may come to the life of the Prophets and Moses with which you may see Christ Lam. 2.14 For Ieremiah did lament the falsness of the Prophets which had not discovered their iniquity which might have turned away their captivity that you might come to know the voice of the Bridegroom the voice of joy the voice of gladness and the voice of them that say Praise the Lord of Hosts for his mercie endures for ever And of them that bring the Sacrifice of Praise into the House of the Lord. I will cause to return the captivity of the Land as at first saith the Lord now know this captivity led captive and this captivity returned And was it not often that Ierusal●m and the children of Israel were car●i●d into captivity for transgressing of the righteous Law of God and did no● the Enemie come upon you which trod down the Wall of Ierusalem which was before Christ was manifest in the flesh which after came and was manifest in the flesh according to the saying of the Prophet which shewed the coming of the Just one who when he was come among you that had the words of Moses and the Prophets but being out of the life saw not that which Moses and the Prophets saw and the Prophet said Jerusalem should be laid waste and compassed with Armies the Wall thrown down and you scattered Is not the word of this Prophet fulfilled among you and upon you had you been in the life as Moses was in and the Prophets and Abraham you would have seen the glory of Israel him whom God raised up to sit on Davids Throne the Hope that all the Fathers hoped for Now your Fathers being out of the life though they had the words knew not the Substance when he was come but on the contrary delivered him up to the Gentiles to be crucified which Gentiles trod your city under foot and they cried crucifie him crucifie him and desired his blood might be upon their Heads Now Jacob comes to be saved from his captivity and Israel shall return to his rest and I will be found of you saith the Lord and will turn away your captivity and will gather you from all the Nations and from all the places where I have driven you and will bring you again to this place saith the Lord whence I caused you to be carried away Captive when you come to the life of the Law this you shall witness Now wait in the light that you may come to witness this Promise fulfilled for the Lords flock hath been carried away captive but now is the Lord redeeming and gathering with his power them out of captivity and leading captivity captive And saith the Lord I will gather the Remnant of my Sheep out of all the countreys where I have driven them and bring them again to their Fold and they shall grow and encrease and I will set one Shepherd over them which shall feed them they shall dread no more nor be afraid neither shall they lack any thing saith the Lord for the day is come saith the Lord that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute justice and judgement in the earth Now this Branch this King this Shepherd this Fold do we witness that are his lambs his sheep and are come to witness the life that Moses was in and the Prophets were in and David was in from which life the Scriptures was given forth to be believed and fulfilled which we see with the same that gave them forth Isa 14. and the Son we see to reigne and the Lord is cutting off according to his promise Babel his Name and his Remnant Son and Nephew and there shall be a High-way for the Remant of his people which shall be left from Assyria like as it was unto Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Aegypt Of this take notice In that day shall the Remnant of Israel and such as have escaped of the House of Iaccb stay no more on him that smote them mark on him that smote them but shall stay upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel in truth The Remnant shall return even the Remnant of Jacob to the Mighty God for though thy people O Israel be as the Sand of the Sea yet a Remnant of them shall return and there is a Remnant that keeps the commands of God And did not the Lord speak to Ezekiel That your Fathers should be carried away captive and the time is come that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved for in Mount Zion and Jerusalem shal be deliverance as the Lord hath said and the Remnant whom the Lord shall call And the Remnant of the Philistines shall perish Seek good and not evil Amos 5. hate the evil and love the good and establish Judgement in the Gate It may be the Lord of Hosts will be merciful to the Remnant of Joseph though the number of Israel be as the sand of the Sea yet a Remnant shall be saved Even so at this present time there is a remnant through the election of Grace and now is the Remnant known that doth give glory to God And thus saith the Lord to your Fathers who changed his Judgements into wickedness and his Statutes more then the wicked I will execute Judgement in thee I will do unto thee that I never did before neither will I do any more the like I wil execute Judgement in thee the whole Remnant of thee will I scatter in all the winds And these things and many more this Prophet doth relate which was done to your Fathers and what they should act and do they who are out of the life of the law But now such as be in the life of the law Prophets and Christ can

but the oppression and were from the light such Christ came to make blinde against whom went the woe that drew iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as it were with a cart-rope that called good evill and evill good such as were from the life of the Law and such as these hearing hear not and seeing see not whose hearts are made fat Make them sat whose eyes are shut lest they should see whose ears are heavy lest they should hear Then said I Lord how long and he answered untill the Cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land be utterly desolate mark and take notice of this untill the cities be without inhabitant and the houses without men and the land be utterly desolate Now such as were here out of the life of the Law and the Prophets being in the transgression the life went against them that were from the life and blinded it and stopt that ear and that heart cannot understand that against the life is turned untill the city be wasted without inhabitant and God hide his counsel and secrets from this eye and from this ear so he comes to make them blinde that they cannot see which be in the transgression who doth not blinde the light the eye that the Prophet saw withall And again Isa 29.9 10 11 12. c. the Prophet said to them that were out of the life of the Law in the transgression Stay your selves and wonder for the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep and hath closed your eyes the Prophets and your Rulers and the Seers hath hee covered the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed which men deliver to one that is learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for it is sealed and the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for I am not learned Wherefore thus saith the Lord Forasmuch as this people draw neer me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me but have removed their heart far from me and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men therefore will I proceed c. These people were from the life of the Law whose hearts were farr removed from God to these the books was sealed and the Vision of all was become unto them as a sealed book and they could not read it neither the learned nor the unlearned for to both it was sealed to this people that could not see nor hear was the book sealed whose eye was blinded though they were learned or unlearned such as was from the life of the Law which was the light the life of the Law the light they had not and such the prophet saw who was in the light of the Holy Ghost and their fear towards the Lord was taught by the Precepts of men as it is now with them that are blind these their eyes were closed upon whom was poured a spirit of deep sleep who stagg●red like a drunken man but not with wine who sought deep to hide their counsel from the Lord and worked in the dark among whom the Lord will do a marvellous work and a wonder the wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of the prudent shal be hid These were-them that turned the things upside down who should be esteemed as the potters clay for shall the work say to him that made it He made me not Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it He had no understanding Yea he sees take notice that hath made and framed Mind this you who call upon God with your lips but your hearts afar off who be strangers from the life of his Law who turn things upside down who must be turned upside down before the life of the Law which is the light be known and their eyes opened Who are in the spirit of slumber and the spirit of deep sleep yet have wisdome and a prudent understanding These were them that the Prophet saw from the life of the Law and such God made blinde for the promise was when God gave forth the Law Blessing and them that were in the life saw the end of it a Curse was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law the woe was not to them that did abide in the life of the Law but the blessing the curse was to them that did not abide in the life of the Law and such came not to s●e the end of what they profest and these went from the life of the Law to mens precepts and they were such as called upon God with their lips but their hearts were afar off and such owning not the life of the Law they owned not Christ when he came who was the end of it but was blinde and so the fulfilling of Isaiah's words came to be which were spoken forth from the life which when Christ came who was the life they that had the words of the Law and being out of the life knew him not but were them that were blinded by hearing should not hear nor understand and seeing 〈◊〉 should see not perceive these which was gon from the life of the law the light which Christ was one with the life which they were gon forth from These could not perceive nor see though they saw and though they heard they could not understand which were in the transgression from the life of the Law and such Christ came to make blinde and these eyes must be blinded that they cannot see nor heary for that which must hear comes to the life of the Law and to the conversion and saith Christ to them that were gone from the life of the Law which hearing heard not neither understood These peoples hearts were waxed gross their ears were dull of hearing their eyes was closed lest at any time mark they were so shut up from the light the life of the Law lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted and I should heal them Now you may all come to see what peoples hearts they were that was waxed gross and ears dull of hearing and could not see with their eyes nor hear with their ears lest they should be converted and Christ should heal them such as were out of the life of the Law and out from that of God in them in the uncoverted estate against whom Christ cried wo For how can they hear with their ears or see with their eyes that are from the life of the Law and how otherwise can it be but that their hearts will wax fat and gross and be hardned with the deceit who go from the Light the life of the Law which is the eye which God blindes not who is light and teach mens commandments for doctrines such as hear not the life of the law
