Prince Ruler and Governour in and over all the works of the Creator And Life in its Being is God and God is Life and in its Government and Fruits and Effects is Purity Righteousness Truth Holiness Meekness and all the works that are just and equal according to God and like Him and which shewes him forth in the Creation and this was and it was thus in the begining before Death entred into the World or had a Kingdom But it is written the Devil abode not in the Truth but went out of the Truth and he is the king of Death and hath the power of it he went out of the Power of God and out of the Life by which all things was made and created and abode not in the Truth nor in the Life to live and act and speak in that but desired to be and became to be something of himself without God and he spoke of himself and acted of himself without the Power and Life and also contrary to the Power and Life of the Creator being separated from it and become a distinct being of himself and then having lost his state and first condition thus became an Enemy to Life and Truth and became the King of Death and he was the first of Death's race and he holds the Power of it upon this day he being gone out of the Truth and out of the Power and Life of God and become a distinct being of himself having a Kingdom of his own to promote in opposition to the Kingdom of God Then he drew mankind out of the Power and Truth and Life beguiled Eve and Adam as you read in the Scriptures and they lost the Life Power even all feeling of it and comfort in it by which they were created and made and they also transgressed and acted contrary to the Life and Power and acted of themselves and spake of themselves without the Power and Life of their Creator being separated from it and were and did something of themselves without God the Creator and then the Power and Life cast them out of all Peace Joy and Happiness into the Earth and into Death and Death became King and Prince over mankind And they had no more possession of Life nor blessedness by it in their separated estate neither did it any longer reign in them but they having transgressed against the Life and acted of themselves and spoken of themselves without the leadings and movings of the Life this was their transgression They went out of the Power and Life in all motions and actions and them Life drove them forth of its Good Pleasure into the Earth separate from its vertues and peace and into Death which is contrary to it self to live in anguish and sorrow and so when the Devil was gone out of the Truth and had led Mankind out of the Truth and out of Life and thereby they were all separated from Life and drove out from God out of his pleasure into his wrath Then became Death to have a being in Mankind and great authority and not before and then Death began his Kingdom in the VVorld and over it and he set up his Rule and Government in and among and over all the Children of men And so from Transgression came Death that was its beginning Man having transgressed against the Life that brought him forth and being separated from Life then Death took place and its Kingdom was established over the World and in all the Children of men in opposition to Life and its Government and Kingdom and Death reigns from Adam so saith the Scripture and the Life was transgressed against and so provoked into an absence and to withdraw it self into invisibility from the enjoyment of Mankind that it should not be self nor perceived of Him to comfort him and then the whole body of Death came upon Man to lead his Conscience and vex his Soul and Death and only Death hath a Preheminence over all in Transgression and is established into a Kingdom over sinful Subjects who are under its Command and hath its Rule and Government and brings forth its Works and Fruits in Mankind contrary to Life and in opposition to it and to its Kingdom and Power and opposeth the Kingdom and Power of Life the Creator and in its Nature and all its Fruits and VVorks it is contrary and opposite to Life and its VVorks and Fruits and through Death is the whole Creation in its exercise by Man perverted from the right use and end ordained of God and out of Death proceedeth all Evil as Lying Swearing Drunkenness and Whoredom Pride Strife and every evil work and word These things are the Fruits and VVorks of Death and Death governs the Children of men in the practice of all these things and in transgression Death lives and acts and speaks through Men and VVomen and Death rules in them and hath perverted them in all their wayes for they have given their Power to it and it wholly captivates them and is established over them and hath the dominion in them and Life is swallowed up of it And this Kingdom of Death opposeth God and the Kingdom of Life and exalts it self against Life and hath its operation in the Creature in all manner of unrighteousness bringing forth daily such words works fruits and effects as doth oppress and is a burden unto the Life and unto the God of Life and Death and its Kingdom doth continually war and strive against Life and its Kingdom and the one opposeth the other through all Generations since the beginning for the Devil is the King of Death and hath the power of it and he is King in its Government and Ruler in its Dominion and this is the state of all the Children of men in Transgression Death rules and the kingdom of Death reigns in them and it brings forth cursed fruits through them and they are subjects thereof and in obedience thereunto in all things And through Death which hath power over them are they separated from Life and have no part nor portion therein because of Death that hath separated them and vailed and clouded them and loads their Consciences But now the Promise of the God of Life is to restore Mankind out of Death and Darkness and that Life shall reign again and subdue Death and destroy it and its Kingdom and swallow it up and this is the Promise of the Father For in transgression Death hath subdued Life and overcome it in Mankind But in the Restoration Life shall swallow up Death and subdue it and overcome it and this comes to passe through the rising again of Life from under Death which hath held it in bondage and Life that made the World in the beginning and gave to all things life and substance as I have said which Life in its measure in Mankind hath been overcome and swallowed up in Transgression That Life shall appear though in another manner of appearance than it did in the beginning for then
