Saddington

A
true
Believer

Spirit
,

AN
EPISTLE
IN
GENERAL
.
Courteous
Reader
,
1.
IT
is
to
be
hoped
upon
thy
perusal
of
this
little
Book
,
called
a
Prospective-Glass
,
thou
willt
see
and
discern
therein
a
Rule
to
walk
by
.
2.
It
directeth
to
no
other
work
but
to
keep
that
peace
which
every
true
Believer
maketh
with
God
,
whenever
He
or
She
doth
receive
Truth
in
the
Love
thereof
,
and
to
keep
themselves
unspotted
in
this
World
.
3.
To
use
Moderation
in
all
things
,
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
peace
of
their
own
minds
;
whereby
others
will
be
encouraged
by
their
peaceable
Spirits
,
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
4.
It
was
neither
the
Lives
and
Conversations
of
the
Saints
that
are
now
called
Believers
:
nor
the
fewness
or
small
number
of
them
that
believed
nor
the
multitude
of
despisers
that
caused
me
to
believe
.
5.
But
so
soon
as
the
Declaration
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
●ounded
in
mine
●ars
,
the
scales
fell
from
mine
Eyes
,
and
immediately
I
did
see
that
it
wa●
Truth
.
6.
And
blessed
be
the
●ost
High
God
,
by
believing
of
his
last
Messengers
,
I
have
had
the
assurance
of
my
Salvation
these
seventeen
years
and
upwards
.
7.
By
Experience
do
I
write
what
manner
of
lives
the
Saints
ought
to
live
:
And
because
I
assuredly
know
thereby
,
that
there
can
be
no
true
Peace
in
any
Believer
,
so
long
as
there
is
any
manner
of
evil
acted
by
him
,
therefore
have
I
prepared
this
Glass
,
wherein
he
may
see
his
own
folly
,
and
learn
to
resist
every
thing
that
is
known
to
break
the
peace
of
the
mind
.
8.
Every
thing
that
breaketh
the
peace
of
the
mind
is
an
enemy
to
Truth
,
and
every
one
that
is
a
despiser
of
Truth
,
is
an
enemy
to
God
,
and
to
their
own
Souls
.
And
there
is
no
spiritual
Truth
,
or
true
knowledge
of
the
true
God
Christ
Jesus
,
but
what
is
declared
by
the
witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
as
will
appear
in
my
following
Discourse
.
9.
Did
I
not
know
my self
armed
with
moderation
,
and
that
I
had
overcome
those
Enemies
that
formerly
were
disturbing
my
peace
,
I
durst
not
have
published
this
to
the
World
.
10.
By
publishing
hereof
I
shall
become
a
mark
for
every
one
to
shoot
at
:
Blessed
be
God
,
there
is
none
that
can
fling
dirt
in
my
face
for
any
evil
actions
practised
by
me
formerly
.
11.
Now
some
will
shoot
their
Arrows
at
me
in
love
,
others
in
hatred
,
but
blessed
be
my
God
,
I
am
able
to
withstand
them
,
and
there
i●
no
envious
Arrow
able
to
hurt
me
.
12.
Though
this
small
Treatise
of
mine
is
not
beautified
with
the
excellencie
of
mans
speech
(
which
is
gained
by
Humane
Learning
,
and
therefore
called
Man's
Wisdom
,
which
is
at
emnity
with
God
)
but
it
is
declared
in
plainness
of
Speech
,
and
in
sincerity
and
truth
by
that
Faith
in
me
,
which
is
at
peace
with
God
.
13.
Yet
I
know
I
shall
be
judged
by
those
that
the
world
calleth
Godly
,
Wise
and
Learned
to
be
uncapable
to
know
the
mind
of
God
in
the
Scriptures
,
because
I
have
not
be●n
brought
up
and
educated
in
Humane
Learning
.
14.
But
though
I
am
not
so
strongly
furnished
with
Mans
stren●th
,
which
is
the
several
Languages
taught
by
Men
:
Yet
blessed
be
my
Redeemer
,
I
am
so
well
taught
by
that
Ancient
School-master
,
the
Nature
of
Faith
in
me
,
whereby
I
am
able
to
declare
the
Truth
.
15.
Therefore
let
none
be
so
conceited
of
Learned
men
,
as
if
the
Word
of
God
came
only
to
them
,
and
from
them
;
for
we
know
that
most
part
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
were
written
by
such
men
as
were
not
educated
in
Humane
Learning
.
16.
The
Pharisiacal
Jews
and
Sadduces
who
were
most
Learned
,
could
not
find
out
the
time
when
Christ
should
come
,
by
all
their
Learning
:
And
so
still
,
all
those
who
by
the
World
are
accounted
weak
and
foolish
,
are
made
wise
and
valiant
in
the
service
of
Christ
.
17.
If
a
man
could
read
all
the
Languages
in
the
World
,
he
could
not
by
that
find
out
,
know
,
or
believe
what
the
true
God
is
in
his
Form
and
Nature
.
Yet
to
him
that
knoweth
what
the
true
God
is
,
Humane
Learning
is
a
good
help
and
hand
maid
to
enable
him
to
illustrate
and
set
forth
the
glorious
things
of
Eternity
,
whereby
the
seed
of
Reason
might
the
more
admire
them
.
18.
For
my
part
,
when
I
was
but
a
Child
,
I
delighted
so
much
in
Learning
,
that
I
was
never
well
contented
but
when
I
was
at
School
to
learn
to
read
and
write
;
and
I
did
take
more
delight
in
reading
the
Bible
and
other
good
Books
(
as
the
Practice
of
Piety
,
Prayer-Books
,
and
the
like
)
than
could
be
expected
from
one
of
my
Age
,
this
was
the
first
degree
of
knowledge
I
had
.
19
And
I
am
confident
had
my
Parents
then
been
able
and
willing
to
have
kept
me
at
School
,
I
should
have
attained
to
as
much
humane
Learning
as
could
have
been
taught
me
by
man
.
20.
The
next
thing
that
I
took
delight
in
,
was
learning
such
Catechismes
as
were
set
out
by
●earned
Men
,
and
hearing
of
Sermons
,
keeping
close
to
the
Church
:
The
Presbyterians
being
then
in
Power
,
and
very
powerful
they
were
in
their
way
.
21.
Then
according
to
my
knowledge
,
I
thought
that
was
the
true
Church
,
and
that
the
Ministers
thereof
were
the
only
Ministers
of
God
.
This
was
the
second
Degree
of
Knowledge
I
had
,
and
there
I
staid
,
thinking
that
all
those
who
opposed
them
were
those
false
Teachers
that
should
come
in
Sheeps-Cloathing
,
and
dawb
with
untempered
Morter
.
22.
Whil'st
I
thought
my self
secure
there
,
being
still
but
young
:
For
about
the
year
1652.
I
was
not
above
18
years
of
Age
,
I
saw
a
Book
intituled
,
A
Sword
doubled
,
Or
,
The
Terror
of
Tythes
,
written
by
a
Minister
;
That
all
those
that
were
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
(
or
otherwise
called
themselves
so
,
)
he
himself
being
one
of
them
.
23.
I
say
,
he
proved
all
of
them
that
took
Tythes
to
be
Murtherers
,
Oppressors
of
the
Poor
,
and
Robbers
of
God
,
for
which
he
said
he
was
so
tormented
in
his
mind
,
that
he
was
forced
to
rise
out
of
his
Bed
in
the
night
,
and
to
go
into
a
secret
place
to
repent
of
that
wickedness
.
24.
And
to
that
purpose
did
he
write
several
sheets
of
Paper
.
When
I
had
viewed
that
Book
,
then
was
I
lost
in
my self
,
because
those
Ministers
in
whom
then
I
put
my
trust
,
were
such
as
took
Tythes
.
25.
Then
I
knew
not
which
way
to
go
to
find
out
Truth
,
yet
still
I
went
to
hear
the
Presbyterians
,
and
sometimes
the
Independent
and
Baptists
.
And
I
was
very
zealous
in
praying
and
repeating
of
Sermons
.
I
could
have
sate
from
morning
to
evening
to
have
heard
those
that
were
counted
able
men
preach
.
26.
I
could
never
find
any
difference
in
the
Foundation
between
the
Presbyterians
,
Independents
and
the
Baptists
:
for
though
they
differ
something
in
point
of
Worship
,
yet
they
all
own
one
God
,
and
one
Devil
.
27.
They
all
hold
forth
that
the
Soul
of
man
is
immortal
,
and
such
like
.
They
all
teach
pleasing
things
to
the
Ear
,
yet
I
could
find
no
more
satisfaction
by
hearing
one
than
I
did
by
hearing
the
other
in
point
of
Salvation
.
None
of
them
could
give
me
any
assurance
of
that
;
and
the
assurance
of
my
Salvation
was
all
that
I
looked
after
.
28.
Had
the
Quakers
come
forth
plentifully
a
little
sooner
they
would
have
catch'd
me
with
their
snares
;
for
when
that
Trumpet
first
sounded
in
mine
Ears
,
they
came
forth
with
such
a
seeming
pure
Language
and
life
,
which
I
from
my
Childhood
was
a
lover
of
.
29.
But
blessed
be
my
God
,
I
was
setled
in
the
knowledge
of
Truth
before
I
came
to
be
acquainted
with
that
Antichristian
Spirit
in
the
Quakers
,
who
deny
,
or
will
not
acknowledge
the
Resurrection
of
the
body
of
Christ
.
30.
About
the
later
end
of
the
Year
1654.
I
heard
of
The
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
which
I
had
heard
of
in
1653.
by
the
name
of
two
Prophets
,
then
Prisoners
in
old
Bridewel
,
London
,
for
declaring
their
Commission
which
they
had
received
from
the
Throne
of
Glory
,
which
gave
them
Power
to
be
the
Chief
Judges
of
all
Spiritual
matters
in
this
World
.
31.
But
when
I
heard
of
them
by
a
Fellow-Prentice
of
mine
,
that
was
in
Bridewel
at
the
same
time
,
and
in
the
same
room
with
them
;
he
telling
me
there
was
two
Prophets
there
:
I
having
read
that
many
false
Prophets
should
come
in
the
last
times
,
I
thought
they
might
be
two
of
them
.
Also
the
second
time
I
heard
of
them
,
I
was
not
satisfied
.
32.
Again
,
I
was
informed
of
them
by
a
Friend
of
mine
)
of
whom
I
borrowed
a
Book
of
theirs
,
intituled
,
A
Transcendent
Spiritual
Treatise
;
upon
the
reading
whereof
I
sound
such
excellent
Truths
declared
,
that
I
was
not
able
to
resist
or
oppose
any
thing
that
was
written
therein
,
but
immediately
became
obedient
unto
it
.
33.
Assoon
as
the
Voice
of
the
true
Shepherd
had
sounded
in
mine
Ears
,
the
light
of
Truth
shined
so
bright
into
my
Soul
,
that
I
could
see
my
Salvation
purchased
with
the
Blood
of
Christ
the
only
and
alone
true
God
.
34.
Though
there
is
no
outward
Miracles
done
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
yet
that
glorious
Language
and
Heavenly
Matter
which
is
written
by
them
(
which
is
the
work
of
the
Spirit
)
maketh
it
appear
that
they
are
what
they
declare
themselves
to
be
.
35.
Prophesying
serveth
for
Believers
,
and
Signs
and
Wonders
are
to
convince
Unbelievers
,
but
not
to
convert
them
.
There
is
enough
written
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
to
convince
the
whole
world
,
if
they
would
take
the
pains
to
read
it
.
36.
Therefore
I
desire
all
that
read
this
little
Book
,
and
desire
to
be
further
satisfied
of
the
matters
therein
contained
,
that
they
will
have
recourse
to
the
Writings
of
the
Winesses
themselves
.
37.
There
,
they
who
have
discerning
Eyes
,
being
of
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
,
or
Faith
,
will
be
fully
satisfied
concerning
all
things
of
Eternity
.

AN
EPISTLE
WRITTEN
To
the
Believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
SPIRIT
.
1.
MY
Dearly
Beloved
Spiritual
Friends
in
London
,
the
several
Counties
of
Middlesex
,
Leicester
,
Nottingham
,
Stafford
,
Darby
,
Cambridge
,
Essex
,
Kent
,
and
all
other
places
in
England
;
I
salute
you
in
the
Spirit
of
Truth
.
2.
Not
forgetting
those
in
Ireland
,
Spain
,
the
Indies
,
or
in
any
other
remote
place
in
the
World
,
who
are
all
my
beloved
Friends
and
Brethren
in
the
knowledge
of
Truth
.
3.
If
there
be
any
among
you
that
is
given
to
Lasciviousness
,
Drunkenness
,
Idleness
,
Passion
,
breaking
of
Promises
,
or
any
other
Vice
whatsoever
,
let
it
all
be
forsaken
for
the
Truths
sake
.
4.
Every
evil
Action
that
is
committed
by
a
Believer
doth
disturb
the
Well-spring
of
Faith
in
him
;
whereby
it
cannot
run
so
clear
as
his
doth
that
is
cleansed
from
evil
,
as
in
this
Glass
you
may
see
.
5.
I
was
moved
by
the
Seed
of
Faith
in
me
long
ago
to
write
a
Book
to
the
same
purpose
that
I
have
written
this
,
but
when
I
well
considered
what
I
was
to
undertake
,
I
had
several
stops
put
to
it
.
6.
Sometimes
I
thought
there
was
no
occasion
for
me
to
write
,
so
long
as
there
was
a
Prophet
alive
.
Also
I
thought
my self
insufficient
to
write
that
which
should
be
Printed
,
because
I
was
not
a
Latine
Scholar
.
7.
But
the
chiefest
thing
that
kept
me
from
writing
a
Book
of
,
or
for
the
life
and
conversation
of
the
Saints
was
,
because
I
could
not
do
it
without
reflecting
upon
my self
.
8.
So
I
did
forbear
publishing
any
thing
,
until
such
time
as
that
I
had
cast
the
Beam
out
of
mine
own
Eye
first
,
that
I
might
see
clearly
to
cast
the
Mote
out
of
my
Brothers
Eye
.
9.
Therefore
I
desire
you
all
,
not
to
think
that
I
have
written
this
Book
to
charge
any
of
you
with
Sin
;
but
to
be
a
means
to
restrain
you
from
running
wilfully
into
that
which
is
evil
,
and
a
dishonour
to
Truth
.
10.
I
have
been
for
several
years
together
moved
by
that
Seed
of
Faith
in
me
,
to
write
against
those
things
,
which
by
Experience
I
know
,
breaketh
the
peace
of
the
mind
;
And
that
Well-spring
of
Faith
which
sprung
up
so
plentifully
in
me
,
and
caused
me
to
write
this
small
Treatise
;
I
hope
it
will
,
and
do
heartily
wish
,
and
desire
it
may
prove
beneficial
to
other
Believers
,
as
it
hath
done
to
me
,
and
cause
them
to
cease
from
all
manner
of
evil
,
and
wholly
follow
after
that
which
is
Righteous
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
,
as
I
now
do
,
blessed
be
my
God
for
it
;
and
for
no
other
end
have
I
published
this
to
the
World
.
11.
Thus
desiring
that
the
said
Wellspring
of
Faith
in
every
one
of
you
may
run
so
clear
,
that
every
one
who
heareth
of
it
may
desire
to
have
some
of
the
same
to
refresh
their
Spirits
,
and
so
allay
their
thirsts
withal
,
which
is
best
done
by
the
increasing
in
purity
,
by
Piety
in
Practice
:
And
so
I
conclude
this
Epistle
.

Saddington

The
Contents
of
this
Book

Chapt
.
1.
WHat
manner
of
Lives
the
Saints
ought
to
live
in
this
world
.
Chapt
.
2.
How
hard
a
matter
it
is
to
please
the
Devil
:
and
what
those
are
to
believe
,
that
expect
comfort
by
believing
,
and
what
Saints
are
to
strive
about
.
Chapt
.
3.
What
an
Enemy
the
riches
of
this
world
are
to
Truth
:
And
how
all
things
are
possible
for
God
to
do
,
which
his
Glory
moveth
him
unto
:
And
how
this
worlds
riches
are
of
the
nature
of
a
Loadstone
.
Chapt
.
4.
How
careful
people
ought
to
be
,
in
preserving
that
which
they
labour
for
,
because
Poverty
is
a
great
Enemy
to
Truth
,
and
breaketh
the
peace
of
the
mind
.
Chapt
.
5.
How
people
ought
to
be
moderate
in
all
things
:
The
comfort
of
Moderation
,
and
the
discomfort
of
Excess
and
Extravagancie
.
Chapt
.
6.
Every
true
Believer
is
Heir
to
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
because
he
is
free-born
and
free
by
Redemption
.
Chapt
.
7.
When
any
evil
is
committed
by
a
Believer
,
it
stoppeth
the
current
of
his
Faith
:
But
it
is
the
heart
God
mindeth
,
and
not
the
outward
appearance
.
Let
every
Believer
weed
his
own
Garden
.
Chapt
.
8.
He
is
not
accounted
a
wise
man
that
will
wound
himself
.
How
we
may
know
when
our
sins
are
forgiven
us
.
Chapt
.
9.
Eternity
became
Time
:
and
the
Eternal
Father
was
born
of
a
Virgin
.
Now
is
the
Prophesie
of
Isaiah
fulfilled
.
Chapt
.
10.
How
the
Believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
have
a
threefold
Knowledge
;
and
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
are
the
third
and
last
Witnesses
that
God
will
send
on
this
Earth
.
Chapt
.
11.
Where
the
Truth
and
true
Knowledge
,
Peace
,
and
Satisfaction
is
to
be
had
:
And
how
it
keepeth
us
from
going
a
whoring
after
strange
Gods
.
Chapt
.
12.
How
all
sober
men
are
to
labour
to
know
what
they
believe
,
that
they
may
lay
hold
on
the
good
Word
of
Prophesie
;
and
not
be
fed
up
with
Fancies
to
believe
in
that
which
no
man
can
discern
what
it
is
or
where
it
is
.
Chapt
.
13.
In
Christ
is
comprehended
the
whole
Trinity
:
no
man
on
this
earth
can
prove
three
Persons
in
the
Trinity
.
Chapt
.
14.
God
is
not
in
this
world
at
all
,
but
at
such
times
as
his
Glory
moveth
him
,
to
come
down
for
a
time
:
neither
doth
God
dwell
in
this
world
any
other
way
,
but
in
the
hearts
of
his
Saints
by
Faith
.
There
is
no
Salvation
for
those
that
refuse
Christ
to
be
their
God
.
Chapt
.
15.
The
Soul
of
Man
is
Generated
with
its
Body
,
therefore
it
liveth
and
dieth
with
the
Body
,
and
is
never
parted
from
it
.
Chapt
.
16.
There
are
several
Degrees
of
Knowledge
,
but
no
degree
able
to
give
true
Rest
to
the
mind
,
until
a
man
can
believe
the
true
Messengers
of
God
.
Chapt
.
17.
Truth
is
a
Pearl
of
great
price
,
therefore
a
man
must
part
with
all
to
purchase
it
;
And
those
only
that
hold
out
in
their
Faith
to
their
lives
end
shall
be
saved
,
but
for
those
that
fall
back
,
and
withdraw
their
love
from
it
,
for
them
there
is
no
Redemption
.
Chapt
.
18.
How
all
the
Seed
of
Faith
may
be
made
able
to
say
with
me
,
and
all
true
Believers
,
That
they
can
read
that
new
Name
written
in
themselves
,
and
what
the
hidden
Mannais
.
CHAP.
I.
What
manner
of
lives
the
Saints
ought
to
live
in
this
World
.
1.
IT
was
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
Isaiah
,
Chapt
.
8.
Vers
.
20.
To
the
Law
and
to
the
Testimony
,
if
they
speak
not
according
to
this
Word
,
it
is
because
there
is
no
Light
in
them
.
2.
Though
I
am
no
Prophet
,
nor
the
Son
of
a
Prophet
,
yet
by
that
Light
of
Faith
in
me
,
which
I
have
received
by
believing
the
Report
of
the
Lords
last
Prophets
do
I
bear
witness
,
that
the
whole
Law
and
Testimony
of
the
Scriptures
are
true
.
3.
There
are
three
Testimonies
,
Laws
,
or
Records
which
agree
in
one
on
this
Earth
,
as
it
is
written
.
The
first
Moses
and
the
other
Prophets
,
signified
the
Water
.
The
Second
was
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
which
signified
the
Blood
.
The
Third
is
▪
The
last
Messengers
,
or
Prophets
herein
mentioned
,
which
signifieth
the
Spirit
;
and
all
these
a
gree
in
one
.
4.
They
that
bear
not
witness
to
the
Testimonies
of
these
Three
,
it
is
,
because
there
is
no
Light
in
them
:
And
let
the
Testimony
of
a
good
Conscience
also
bear
witness
in
all
true
Believers
.
5.
They
who
are
true
Believers
of
the
third
and
last
Testament
of
God
sent
forth
and
declared
to
the
world
in
this
last
Age
,
are
also
true
Believers
of
the
two
former
,
and
do
walk
in
the
true
Light
.
6.
Let
all
those
that
have
received
,
or
shall
receive
the
true
Light
,
so
walk
,
that
their
temporal
Actions
may
not
dim
the
Light
of
their
spiritual
knowledge
.
7.
Let
those
take
as
much
delight
in
walking
uprightly
before
God
and
in
the
sight
of
men
,
as
they
do
in
declaring
that
Knowledge
which
they
have
of
God
unto
men
.
8.
Then
their
Light
will
shew
it self
to
he
that
true
and
gratious
Light
by
which
all
true
Believers
may
see
their
way
to
Eternal
Life
.
9.
Let
no
Saint
break
his
own
peace
by
any
unseemly
action
;
but
let
them
walk
in
all
respects
as
becometh
Saints
,
for
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
of
life
,
is
all
Goodness
,
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
.
10.
They
that
are
Believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
and
walk
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
do
not
only
break
their
own
peace
,
but
they
do
also
lay
a
stumbling-stone
for
others
to
fall
at
,
which
causeth
Truth
to
be
evil
spoken
of
.
11.
It
hath
pleased
our
God
to
send
his
last
Messengers
into
the
World
in
these
our
dayes
to
declare
unto
us
secret
and
Sacred
things
,
that
were
hid
from
all
former
Ages
and
Generations
of
men
.
12.
We
do
assuredly
know
what
,
and
where
our
God
is
;
that
his
Eternal
Spirit
is
clothed
with
that
blessed
Body
of
Christ
Jesus
glorified
,
our
blessed
Redeemer
,
whom
the
Heaven
of
Glory
will
retein
until
the
end
of
time
.
13.
At
his
next
coming
time
will
be
swallowed
up
into
Eternity
.
14.
Christ
will
come
no
more
to
Reign
upon
this
Earth
with
his
Saints
,
as
it
is
imagined
by
many
,
but
they
are
not
taught
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
.
15.
Let
not
us
who
have
the
true
knowledge
of
God
and
our
own
Natures
,
walk
as
if
we
were
ignorant
of
what
we
profess
to
know
.
16.
But
let
us
make
use
of
our
Spiritual
Wisdom
in
such
sort
,
as
that
the
World
may
stand
in
admiration
,
and
may
have
cause
to
say
of
us
,
Verily
,
and
of
a
truth
God
is
in
them
,
they
are
the
chosen
People
of
God
.
17.
Our
light
ought
to
shine
clear
in
this
world
.
It
is
written
,
A
Candle
is
not
lighted
to
be
put
under
a
Bushel
,
but
on
a
Candlestick
:
So
every
one
that
hath
his
knowledg
inlightned
in
the
truth
,
with
the
light
of
Life
Eternal
,
he
must
let
that
Light
shine
in
the
World
.
18.
He
that
hath
true
Faith
(
the
nature
whereof
is
to
purifie
both
heart
and
life
)
if
he
walk
otherwise
,
contrary
to
what
knowledge
he
professeth
,
he
hath
received
(
especially
before
the
faces
of
Unbelievers
)
it
doth
darken
his
Faith
so
much
,
that
the
light
of
it
cannoe
be
seen
,
no
more
than
the
light
of
a
Candle
that
is
under
a
Bushel
.
19.
Therefore
let
not
us
that
have
a
pure
and
clear
light
,
walk
as
if
we
were
in
darkness
,
or
were
men
of
no
understanding
.
20.
It
is
a
shame
for
one
that
is
a
true
Believer
,
and
a
Saint
of
God
,
to
carry
himself
so
disorderly
as
to
be
checked
by
Devils
for
his
disorderly
carriage
.
21.
I
desire
and
exhort
every
one
that
is
a
true
Believer
of
the
Lords
last
Messengers
to
walk
circumspectly
in
their
lives
and
conversations
.
22.
And
as
the
Apostle
exhorted
in
his
time
,
Let
no
evil
communication
come
out
of
your
mouths
,
but
rather
that
which
is
edifying
unto
others
,
lest
we
grieve
the
Holy
Spirit
of
God
in
us
,
and
make
our selves
a
reproach
.
23.
The
World
is
ignorant
of
what
we
are
made
to
know
,
even
the
way
to
Salvation
.
24.
None
in
the
world
can
have
assurance
of
their
Salvation
in
this
life
,
but
those
that
are
Believers
of
the
Spiritual
Commission
given
by
the
Lord
to
his
last
Messengers
,
as
aforesaid
.
25.
I
do
not
plead
for
righteous
acting
,
thinking
thereby
to
merit
Heaven
,
for
we
have
gained
the
assurance
of
that
by
believing
the
Report
of
the
Lords
true
Ministers
,
which
are
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
.
26.
Our
blessed
Saviour
himself
said
,
Joh
.
6.29
.
the
whole
work
was
to
believe
in
him
whom
he
had
sent
;
therefore
it
is
by
Faith
,
and
not
by
any
other
works
that
we
are
saved
.
27.
Yet
where
there
is
true
Faith
,
let
not
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
be
wanting
.
Righteous
actings
are
a
very
good
Ornament
for
to
set
forth
and
illustrate
Faith
.
28.
He
that
breaketh
the
Law
,
or
worketh
any
manner
of
Evil
,
breaketh
his
own
peace
;
and
if
a
man
be
not
at
peace
in
himself
,
how
can
he
be
at
peace
with
God
.
You
know
it
is
written
,
If
our
Consciences
accuse
us
,
God
is
greater
than
our
Consciences
.
29.
Therefore
this
I
would
have
all
Believers
do
,
to
walk
uprightly
before
God
,
and
to
keep
themselves
blameless
and
unspotted
in
this
world
,
and
to
walk
with
a
pure
language
and
life
,
as
becometh
Saints
.
30.
I
do
not
desire
that
a
burthen
should
be
laid
upon
the
Saints
than
they
are
able
to
bear
;
for
I
have
learned
to
forgive
my
Brother
if
he
sinneth
against
me
or
against
his
own
Soul
.
31.
Nevertheless
I
would
not
have
any
Saint
to
abuse
himself
in
any
thing
,
that
is
accounted
evil
,
for
as
St.
Paul
saith
,
Those
things
that
are
lawful
for
us
to
do
,
are
not
convenient
to
be
done
.
32.
Let
us
follow
after
those
things
which
bringeth
peace
to
our selves
and
edifieth
others
,
as
meekness
,
love
,
and
chastity
,
with
all
Righteousness
which
is
acceptable
with
our
God
Christ
Jesus
glorified
,
and
approved
of
by
men
,
whereby
the
Truth
may
not
be
evil
spoken
of
.
33.
Neither
let
us
give
occasion
to
Devils
(
Devilish
men
and
women
)
by
our
bad
walking
to
speak
evil
of
those
glorious
Truths
which
they
are
not
worthy
to
know
.
34.
But
let
us
walk
humbly
before
our
God
,
that
our
innocent
lives
may
be
a
Patern
to
the
World
,
that
have
no
other
hopes
of
Glory
but
by
their
Moral
Righteousness
,
which
is
of
no
value
in
comparison
to
true
Faith
.
35.
Though
Moral
Righteousness
is
a
very
good
and
decent
Ornament
to
set
forth
Faith
,
yet
he
that
is
never
so
Moral
,
or
endued
with
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
,
if
he
be
a
Despiser
of
Truth
,
by
not
having
Faith
to
believe
the
Messengers
of
God
,
and
their
Declarations
,
all
his
Righteousness
will
stand
him
in
no
stead
in
the
day
of
the
Lords
account
.
36.
As
for
us
,
who
have
true
Faith
to
believe
the
Report
of
the
Lords
last
true
Prophets
and
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
Let
us
be
clothed
with
Righteousness
as
with
a
Garment
.
37.
Because
we
are
found
worthy
to
be
of
the
Family
of
God
,
and
none
in
the
World
but
the
Believers
above-mentioned
are
chosen
to
be
of
his
Houshould
,
therefore
there
is
no
Garment
but
that
of
Righteousness
suteable
for
a
Saint
to
wear
in
this
world
.
38.
Wherefore
we
must
be
sure
to
walk
sincerely
in
all
things
,
that
we
may
honour
our
Father
,
our
King
,
our
Lord
and
Master
,
even
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
39.
He
alone
is
Lord
both
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
he
hath
clothed
us
with
rich
and
costly
Robes
,
the
Garment
of
Salvation
,
and
by
this
we
know
he
loveth
us
because
these
Robes
which
he
hath
freely
given
us
,
cost
him
so
dear
a
rate
as
his
Godheads
life
,
and
his
most
precious
Blood
.
40.
What
care
therefore
ought
we
take
least
at
any
time
we
should
defile
these
Garments
which
could
not
have
been
bought
with
any
other
price
but
with
the
Blood
of
the
Eternal
God
,
which
was
shed
by
the
unbelieving
Jews
,
according
to
his
Eternal
Decree
.
41.
That
he
might
raise
all
,
both
Jew
and
Gentile
,
that
do
truly
believe
and
own
him
to
be
their
God
and
Saviour
to
a
glorious
and
everliving
life
,
in
that
Kingdom
of
Glory
where
they
shall
behold
the
firey
glorious
face
of
God
to
all
Eternity
.
42.
And
he
will
likewise
raise
all
unbelieving
Jews
and
Gentiles
to
a
shameful
and
painful
ever-dying
death
.
43.
When
they
are
in
possession
of
that
misery
which
they
were
foretold
of
,
then
will
they
cry
and
howl
,
but
all
in
vain
;
and
the
knowledge
of
their
abiding
that
Torment
to
Eternity
,
will
make
them
blaspheme
the
name
of
our
God
continually
.
44.
And
the
remembrance
of
their
despising
of
the
Declaration
and
Messengers
of
that
glorious
God
Christ
when
they
were
in
mortality
,
will
be
as
fresh
fuel
laid
upon
a
fire
,
for
it
will
make
their
tormented
Souls
and
Bodies
burn
more
fiercely
.
45.
The
Creator
hath
Decreed
that
punishment
for
all
unbelievers
,
that
their
Souls
shall
bring
forth
spiritual
dark
bodies
at
the
Resurrection
,
which
Souls
and
bodies
will
burn
together
hotter
than
natural
fire
and
brimstone
.
46.
So
on
the
contrary
,
when
they
that
are
the
Elect
of
God
shall
be
in
possession
of
that
Kingdom
of
Glory
,
where
that
blessed
body
of
God
is
,
and
where
Moses
,
Elias
,
and
the
holy
Angels
are
resident
.
47.
Then
shall
we
be
full
of
joy
unspeakable
,
where
we
shall
sing
Hallelujahs
and
Prayses
unto
our
God
,
our
King
,
and
our
Redeemer
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
48.
And
the
remembrance
of
those
good
actions
which
we
acted
for
Christ
in
the
time
of
our
Mortality
will
cause
new
joys
to
arise
in
us
▪
And
then
shall
we
sing
aloud
unto
our
God
which
sitteth
upon
the
Throne
of
Glory
to
Eternity
.
49.
Now
we
knowing
how
that
the
remembrance
of
good
things
acted
by
us
in
this
life
will
advance
our
glory
in
the
life
to
come
;
let
us
be
sure
therefore
to
do
all
things
,
that
will
be
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
honour
to
his
Commission
given
forth
in
these
our
days
,
of
which
we
are
partakers
in
that
we
have
faith
to
believe
the
Report
of
his
last
Prophets
.
50.
Again
,
it
is
good
for
us
,
to
leave
off
frothy
discourse
and
simple
actions
,
for
such
things
,
when
afterward
considered
of
do
disturb
the
peace
of
a
Saint
.
51.
Because
when
such
things
are
acted
by
Believers
they
make
words
of
truth
seem
as
idle
Stories
to
the
people
of
the
world
,
who
understand
not
the
power
and
liberty
of
Believers
in
the
time
of
a
Commission
.
52.
But
nevertheless
I
would
have
all
Believers
learn
to
be
wise
,
sober
,
and
moderate
in
all
things
;
because
when
words
of
truth
are
spoken
by
a
sober
wise
man
,
whose
life
and
conversation
is
sutable
to
what
he
doth
declare
,
his
words
make
a
great
impression
upon
the
hearts
of
them
that
hear
him
.
53.
They
who
love
moral
Righteousness
,
though
they
are
ignorant
of
truth
,
yet
they
are
very
zealous
in
worshipping
of
their
unknown
God
,
and
allow
not
of
any
wickedness
.
54.
I
say
when
these
sort
of
ignorant
men
hear
truth
spoken
and
declared
by
those
that
they
look
upon
to
be
as
Righteous
as
themselves
in
all
things
(
except
worshipping
of
God
in
outward
Ordinances
as
they
do
)
then
are
they
smitten
to
the
heart
.
55.
When
they
hear
those
that
know
truth
,
and
what
the
true
God
is
,
declare
that
the
worshipping
of
God
in
outward
Ordinances
,
to
be
seen
of
men
is
of
no
value
,
and
that
all
the
righteousness
of
the
Law
is
of
no
effect
to
those
that
despise
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
Doctrine
declared
by
them
.
56.
Then
do
those
and
such
like
words
take
possession
of
the
mind
of
those
righteous
men
which
hear
them
spoken
by
wise
sober
men
,
and
they
cannot
dispossess
them
any
more
.
57.
When
words
of
truth
have
once
taken
place
in
the
mind
of
man
,
either
that
faith
in
him
doth
feed
so
plentifully
on
them
,
that
the
nourishment
it
receiveth
from
them
causeth
it
to
grow
up
to
the
assurance
of
Eternal
life
.
58.
Or
else
the
reason
in
man
is
inraged
,
because
it
cannot
remove
those
words
of
truth
which
have
taken
possession
in
the
mind
.
59.
So
that
truth
doth
torment
the
minds
of
those
in
this
life
who
cannot
receive
it
to
the
saving
of
their
Souls
.
60.
These
things
hundreds
can
witness
the
truth
of
by
Experience
,
some
to
their
eternal
joy
,
and
others
to
their
everlasting
sorrow
.
61.
Thus
do
we
see
what
power
and
strength
the
Ministry
of
the
Spirit
hath
upon
all
persons
to
whom
it
hath
been
clearly
demonstrated
.
62.
The
Righteousness
of
the
Law
(
as
I
have
said
)
is
a
good
Ornament
to
set
forth
that
truth
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
.
63.
Wherefore
my
earnest
desire
is
that
all
true
Believers
may
be
dressed
therewith
,
that
the
Unbelievers
may
have
no
just
cause
to
speak
evil
of
those
men
that
have
saith
in
the
true
God
.
CHAP.

How
hard
a
matter
it
is
to
please
the
Devil
;
and
what
those
are
to
believe
that
expect
comfort
by
believing
;
and
what
Saints
are
to
strive
about
.
1.
I
Know
there
are
a
sort
of
people
that
will
find
fault
with
the
soberest
men
living
.
For
if
a
man
be
of
a
melancholy
disposition
and
not
of
a
cheerful
spirit
,
when
such
a
man
declareth
truth
,
then
its
probable
it
will
be
said
his
melancholly
spirit
hath
made
him
mad
,
and
they
will
not
mind
his
words
,
because
they
think
those
things
declared
by
him
,
are
but
some
whimseys
which
arise
out
of
his
melancholly
mind
.
2.
Secondly
,
if
a
man
be
of
a
merry
disposition
and
given
to
civil
jesting
,
then
those
that
are
ignorant
of
truth
will
be
ready
to
say
,
this
man
cannot
have
that
knowledge
he
professeth
to
have
of
God
,
for
if
he
had
he
would
not
be
so
merry
.
3.
For
say
they
,
truth
is
solid
and
civil
;
and
though
they
see
no
incivility
in
their
mirth
,
yet
they
will
be
finding
fault
with
it
,
so
that
it
is
a
very
hard
matter
to
please
the
Devil
;
I
mean
the
devilish
natures
of
men
and
women
.
4.
There
are
many
,
who
are
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
that
are
more
zealous
in
the
way
of
their
worshipping
the
unknown
God
,
and
more
precise
in
their
words
,
than
many
Saints
are
.
5.
Therefore
it
is
no
marvel
to
us
to
hear
and
know
that
the
Devil
or
his
Ministers
are
transformed
as
into
Angels
of
light
;
for
we
know
who
the
Devil
is
,
and
who
are
his
Ministers
.
6.
We
also
know
that
their
Pharisaical
way
of
Ceremonial
worshipping
of
their
unknown
God
seemeth
far
more
pure
to
the
eye
of
Reason
,
than
the
Saints
more
plain
way
of
worshipping
of
that
glorified
man
Christ
Jesus
in
spirit
and
truth
.
7.
Him
they
are
or
ought
to
know
to
be
the
only
and
alone
true
God
;
and
truly
to
know
Jesus
Christ
to
be
the
only
true
God
is
life
Eternal
.
8.
Therefore
by
our
knowing
and
true
believing
that
Christ
was
not
only
the
Son
of
God
and
Saviour
of
the
world
,
but
that
he
alone
was
the
Eternal
Father
,
and
Creator
of
both
worlds
,
Angels
and
Men
,
we
have
Eternal
life
abiding
in
us
.
9
And
by
our
knowing
the
Decree
of
God
from
the
Creation
of
the
world
in
his
disposing
of
the
two
Seeds
,
the
seed
of
the
woman
and
the
feed
of
the
Serpent
;
and
knowing
the
natures
of
them
,
and
what
they
are
,
is
the
substance
whereby
we
know
the
assurance
of
our
Salvation
in
this
life
.
10.
Again
,
I
know
many
will
ask
me
,
How
they
shall
come
to
that
knowledge
whereby
they
may
be
assured
of
their
Salvation
?
11.
To
this
I
answer
.
There
is
no
other
way
for
any
man
to
be
assured
of
his
Salvation
in
this
life
,
but
by
believing
that
Christ
the
true
God
did
speak
to
John
Reeve
,
to
the
hearing
of
the
ear
,
and
that
he
did
give
John
Reeve
and
Lodowick
Muggleton
Commission
to
declare
his
mind
unto
this
bloody
and
unbelieving
world
,
as
is
declared
by
them
,
and
it
is
not
sufficient
to
believe
their
Doctrine
only
.
12.
For
some
will
say
,
they
believe
there
is
no
God
but
Christ
;
others
will
say
,
they
believe
the
Soul
dieth
with
the
body
;
and
some
will
say
,
there
is
no
Devil
but
men
and
women
.
13.
But
I
say
,
That
only
to
believe
these
things
is
of
no
value
;
for
except
a
man
can
believe
the
Doctors
to
be
true
,
there
can
be
no
benefit
by
their
Doctrine
declared
by
them
.
14.
Therefore
whosoever
expects
peace
and
satisfaction
of
mind
by
the
Doctrine
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
they
must
first
set
to
their
seals
that
they
were
truly
sent
forth
by
the
true
God
,
to
make
his
mind
known
in
this
our
age
.
15.
What
man
can
find
any
peace
or
comfort
by
reading
the
Scriptures
,
and
believing
that
Moses
did
punish
the
Egyptians
with
several
plagues
.
16.
And
to
believe
that
the
Apostles
did
cure
many
Diseases
,
and
suffer
many
punishments
to
be
inflicted
upon
them
for
Christ's
sake
.
17.
Or
to
believe
that
Christ
did
cast
out
many
Devils
,
and
raise
the
dead
;
I
say
to
believe
these
things
,
and
many
more
that
are
spoken
of
in
Scripture
,
and
tyet
cannot
believe
that
Moses
was
a
true
Prophet
,
and
hat
Peter
and
Paul
and
the
rest
were
true
Apostles
,
or
that
Jesus
was
a
true
Christ
?
18.
I
say
,
they
that
cannot
believe
these
things
can
have
no
true
peace
or
comfort
,
nor
any
benefit
by
believing
any
part
of
the
Scriptures
.
19.
Nay
if
it
were
possible
for
a
man
to
believe
all
that
is
declared
by
the
Prophets
of
old
,
and
the
Apostles
,
and
by
Christ
himself
,
and
yet
cannot
believe
that
these
men
that
declared
such
things
were
true
Ministers
,
then
all
their
faith
is
vain
and
will
stand
them
in
no
stead
at
the
day
of
the
Lord
.
20.
So
on
the
contrary
,
though
there
may
be
many
temporal
failings
among
the
Saints
,
yet
by
their
true
believing
in
God
and
his
Messengers
,
all
their
sins
will
be
forgiven
them
,
and
their
faith
will
make
them
whole
.
21.
But
I
would
not
have
any
true
believer
take
hold
of
these
words
of
mine
,
whereby
to
live
in
sin
,
or
to
lead
a
corrupt
life
;
for
that
evil
committed
by
the
Saints
can
no
ways
be
justified
,
but
their
sins
will
be
pardoned
,
because
it
was
for
the
sins
of
believers
,
for
which
Christ
died
,
and
his
death
was
so
effectual
,
that
none
that
truly
believe
in
him
shall
perish
,
though
their
sins
be
never
so
great
.
22.
But
if
there
be
any
believers
that
do
lead
a
corrupt
life
,
they
can
have
no
peace
in
their
minds
,
because
the
corruptness
of
their
natures
doth
drown
that
peace
which
would
flow
from
their
faith
.
23.
But
all
these
believers
that
lead
a
just
and
holy
life
have
the
fountain
of
peace
in
them
which
is
past
the
knowledge
of
man
to
expose
the
comfort
of
it
.
24.
Now
let
every
believer
strive
to
excel
each
other
in
virtue
,
that
their
Faith
may
pour
forth
like
Rivers
of
living
water
,
that
every
one
which
heareth
of
t●e
truth
may
desire
to
receive
it
.

What
an
Enemy
the
Riches
of
this
world
is
to
Truth
.
And
how
all
things
are
possible
for
God
to
do
,
which
his
Glory
moveth
him
to
do
.
And
how
the
Worlds
Riches
is
of
the
nature
of
a
Loadstone
.
1.
AGain
,
all
those
that
are
willing
to
yeeld
obedience
to
Faith
,
whereby
they
may
live
in
perfect
peace
in
this
life
;
they
must
be
sure
to
withstand
the
grand
Enemies
of
Truth
,
which
are
Riches
and
Poverty
.
Therefore
doth
St.
Paul
desire
that
he
may
fed
with
food
convenient
for
him
,
neither
with
Riches
lest
he
should
boast
,
nor
with
Poverty
,
lest
he
should
steal
.
2.
First
,
let
no
Saint
strive
for
honour
in
this
World
,
for
that
is
a
Cord
which
draweth
many
to
destruction
,
both
in
this
life
and
that
which
is
to
come
.
3.
We
see
how
hard
a
thing
it
is
for
any
man
to
joyn
with
truth
that
is
rich
and
in
honour
in
this
World
,
because
he
knoweth
that
he
cannot
keep
his
honour
among
the
Great
Ones
of
this
World
,
if
he
wor
ship
God
only
in
spirit
and
truth
.
4.
Therefore
it
is
in
vain
for
any
that
have
received
the
truth
in
the
love
thereof
for
to
think
to
keep
his
spiritual
peace
in
this
life
,
and
yet
strive
to
climb
up
to
the
top
of
Mountains
in
worldly
honour
;
no
that
cannot
possibly
be
,
for
before
he
getteth
half
way
to
that
estate
he
aimeth
at
,
he
will
pluck
such
stones
upon
his
own
head
that
will
break
his
peace
and
make
him
wish
that
he
hath
been
content
to
walk
upon
plain
ground
where
he
might
have
been
in
safety
with
peace
in
his
mind
.
5.
Whereas
now
he
findeth
nothing
but
distraction
and
trouble
with
all
those
incumbrances
wherewith
he
hath
entangled
himself
to
gain
the
Honor
and
riches
in
this
World
,
which
is
not
to
be
regarded
by
a
spiritual
wise
man
.
6.
Because
they
break
the
peace
of
the
mind
and
vex
the
pure
peaceable
spirit
of
truth
,
that
envieth
no
man
,
nor
coveteth
after
riches
,
but
having
wherewith
to
supply
its
wants
is
therewith
content
.
7.
Therefore
let
no
man
that
is
a
believer
make
himself
a
servant
to
iniquity
which
is
vanity
,
when
he
is
the
Lords
freeman
and
may
live
in
purity
.
8.
Secondly
,
he
that
setteth
his
mind
so
much
on
this
World
that
he
cannot
see
himself
happy
without
Riches
and
Honour
in
this
World
,
though
he
know
there
is
a
Crown
of
Glory
prepared
for
him
hereafter
in
another
World
,
it
s
a
wonder
if
he
be
not
taken
prisoner
by
those
snares
which
his
reason
hath
lead
him
into
.
9.
And
if
he
be
once
taken
Captive
by
the
Riches
and
Honour
of
this
World
,
which
belongeth
chiefly
to
the
feed
of
the
scrpent
,
then
it
will
stop
that
current
of
faith
,
and
break
his
peace
with
God
,
so
great
Enemies
are
the
Riches
and
Honour
of
this
World
to
the
Spirit
of
truth
.
10.
And
I
do
believe
there
are
very
few
but
can
witness
this
to
be
true
,
that
so
long
as
a
man
is
pressing
forward
to
get
Riches
in
this
World
,
or
so
long
as
he
delighteth
to
be
in
worldly
Honour
,
his
mind
cannot
be
at
such
perfect
liberty
to
mind
the
things
of
Eternity
,
as
those
are
who
desire
no
more
but
so
much
as
will
keep
them
from
want
,
and
from
being
a
burthen
to
others
.
11.
By
Experience
we
have
seen
and
known
multitudes
of
sorrows
have
fallen
upon
many
that
have
striven
to
be
great
in
the
World
.
12.
And
daily
may
see
the
many
outward
afflictions
that
fall
upon
them
,
because
it
appeareth
publique
to
us
,
but
what
inward
grief
and
trouble
there
is
for
the
〈◇〉
of
their
Honour
or
Riches
when
they
are
taken
from
them
we
know
not
.
13.
Therefore
let
every
believer
strive
to
keep
his
peace
with
God
,
for
to
keep
his
peace
with
God
,
is
the
greatest
Riches
and
Honour
that
a
Saint
can
have
.
14.
And
to
lose
that
peace
which
is
of
more
value
than
a
thousand
Worlds
,
how
shall
he
be
able
to
purchase
that
peace
again
,
when
the
breaking
of
it
hath
wounded
his
spirit
,
and
a
wounded
spirit
who
can
bear
it
.
15.
Thirdly
,
do
we
not
see
by
Experience
that
most
of
those
that
are
rich
and
live
in
honour
in
this
World
,
that
they
are
in
a
miserable
Estate
in
this
World
upon
a
spiritual
account
,
for
they
are
kept
in
so
much
slavery
by
their
riches
and
honour
that
they
must
yeeld
obedience
thereunto
.
16.
Therefore
when
truth
is
declared
to
them
,
and
they
are
convinced
in
themselves
,
that
it
is
truth
yet
they
will
not
imbrace
it
in
love
,
for
fear
they
should
be
converted
by
it
,
and
so
lose
their
Honour
in
this
World
.
17.
So
that
we
may
clearly
see
what
great
power
the
Riches
and
Honour
of
this
World
have
over
them
that
have
tasted
so
much
sweetness
by
them
.
18.
The
Riches
of
this
World
are
so
sweet
and
the
perishing
honour
which
belongeth
to
it
so
delightful
to
enjoy
it
longer
,
they
will
refuse
that
spiritual
Wisdom
which
will
lead
all
those
that
enjoy
it
to
everlasting
life
,
and
Glory
undeclarable
.
19.
When
all
those
who
despise
truth
shall
have
their
reward
,
which
is
an
ever-dying-death
,
which
will
never
have
an
end
.
20.
Because
then
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
will
be
kindled
in
them
,
which
will
burn
more
fierce
than
any
fire
and
brimstone
in
this
World
,
for
it
will
never
be
cooled
or
quenched
to
Eternity
.
21.
But
if
they
did
but
know
the
worth
of
true
Wisdom
in
this
life
they
would
not
despise
it
;
and
there
is
no
true
spiritual
Wisdom
now
in
this
World
,
but
what
is
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
.
22.
Therefore
all
of
the
seed
of
Faith
,
or
of
the
Woman
,
are
hereby
exhorted
,
that
as
they
are
acquainted
with
as
pure
truths
as
ever
was
declared
by
quainted
with
as
pure
truths
as
ever
was
declared
by
and
unto
men
,
and
many
have
sucked
therefrom
so
much
sweetness
as
hath
given
them
assurance
of
their
salvation
.
23.
Let
us
all
far
more
esteem
of
that
Glory
and
Honour
which
we
shall
enjoy
with
our
God
,
his
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
the
holy
Angels
,
and
our
fellow-Saints
in
the
Heaven
of
Glory
to
Eternity
,
(
having
thus
in
our
Eye
the
Recompence
of
Reward
)
than
to
any
Dignity
or
Honour
that
can
be
presented
to
us
in
this
World
.
24.
And
let
us
slight
the
Preferment
of
this
World
,
because
we
know
if
we
do
enjoy
it
,
it
will
endanger
(
for
the
Reasons
aforesaid
)
to
break
that
peace
we
have
with
God
,
which
is
of
far
more
value
than
a
thousand
Worlds
.
25.
Again
,
shall
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
be
willing
to
lose
all
the
enjoyment
of
the
Glory
to
come
on
the
other
side
of
death
to
enjoy
their
pleasure
,
or
their
good
things
(
as
they
are
called
)
in
this
life
?
because
they
are
not
certain
,
or
believe
not
any
Resurrection
.
26.
And
shall
not
we
be
willing
to
be
without
the
pleasures
of
this
World
(
which
for
the
most
part
are
but
the
pleasures
of
sin
for
a
season
)
being
we
are
fully
satisfied
that
there
are
Crowns
of
Glory
prepared
for
us
to
wear
in
the
Kingdom
of
Glory
.
27.
Where
we
shall
be
in
the
Presence
of
our
glorious
God
Christ
Jesus
who
purchased
those
Crowns
of
Glory
for
us
,
with
the
death
of
his
most
precious
Soul
,
as
it
is
written
,
He
poured
out
his
Soul
unto
death
.
28.
Again
,
it
is
written
,
The
second
Adam
was
a
quickning
Spirit
;
and
therein
did
Christ
make
it
plainly
appear
that
he
was
that
quickning
Spirit
,
because
he
did
quicken
his
most
pretious
Soul
out
of
death
to
life
again
by
his
own
power
,
as
he
had
often
said
,
That
he
had
power
to
lay
down
his
life
,
and
power
to
take
it
up
again
.
29.
And
as
sure
as
his
words
were
spirit
and
life
,
so
sure
did
he
rise
again
by
his
own
power
,
without
any
additional
power
from
any
other
God
,
for
there
was
no
God
besides
himself
.
30.
But
I
know
these
will
be
counted
hard
sayings
to
the
seed
of
Reason
,
who
are
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
.
31.
Although
they
will
professingly
say
,
all
things
are
possible
with
God
,
yet
they
cannot
believe
that
it
was
possible
for
God
to
die
;
but
it
was
possible
for
God
todie
,
because
it
was
for
his
Glory
,
and
there
is
nothing
unpossible
with
God
that
his
glorious
Wisdom
moveth
him
to
do
.
32.
I
am
sure
they
whose
God
could
not
die
,
they
will
never
be
redeemed
from
sin
;
for
there
was
nothing
but
the
blood
of
God
himself
that
could
wash
away
the
sins
of
his
Elect
.
33.
Therefore
they
only
that
do
feed
on
Christ
,
by
their
true
believing
that
be
did
lay
down
his
Godhead-life
for
them
,
will
be
saved
when
he
cometh
to
judge
●he
World
.
34.
And
for
a
man
to
know
in
this
life
,
that
his
sins
are
forgiven
,
and
that
he
shall
dwell
with
Christ
to
Eternity
is
riches
indeed
.
35.
But
for
the
riches
of
this
world
,
we
see
by
Experience
that
they
are
not
only
vanity
,
but
they
are
also
the
greatest
ensnarements
that
are
to
deprive
men
of
Eternal
happiness
.
36.
And
they
have
so
much
as
it
were
of
the
nature
of
the
Loadstone
in
them
,
that
if
the
heart
of
man
be
but
once
touched
affectionately
with
them
,
it
is
drawn
away
with
them
,
and
by
the
strength
of
them
it
is
holden
so
fast
that
it
seldom
parteth
with
them
,
until
death
by
force
taketh
it
away
.
37.
Therefore
let
none
that
know
the
nature
and
danger
hereof
suffer
themselves
to
be
taken
Prisoners
by
those
Powers
from
which
seldom
any
are
released
.
And
you
all
know
that
Christ
himself
said
,
It
was
easier
for
a
Cammel
to
go
through
the
eye
of
a
Needle
,
than
for
a
Rich
man
to
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
.
38.
Again
.
I
know
that
as
People
in
Christs
time
said
,
But
which
of
the
Rulers
have
believed
in
him
;
so
do
people
now
cry
,
What
Noble
or
Learned
men
do
believe
in
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
when
they
themselves
are
not
ignorant
what
is
written
,
That
few
of
those
that
are
called
Wise
,
Noble
,
or
Learned
are
chosen
.
39.
But
if
any
of
the
Rulers
of
this
City
of
London
,
or
any
one
that
is
in
any
other
place
of
great
Authority
should
have
a
desire
to
be
acquainted
with
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
or
with
some
of
the
Believers
of
them
,
it
must
be
done
secretly
.
40.
Or
else
they
must
come
by
night
as
Nichodemus
did
to
Christ
.
For
those
that
are
in
Power
and
Authority
dare
not
be
seen
to
have
any
love
for
that
Doctrine
which
is
not
allowed
by
the
Supreme
Power
of
the
three
Nations
for
fear
they
should
be
brought
in
Question
for
their
Faith
,
and
so
should
be
put
out
of
their
places
of
Honour
in
this
World
.
41.
I
doubt
there
are
many
that
are
Rulers
in
these
Kingdoms
that
know
no
more
what
the
true
God
is
,
than
Nichodemus
did
know
how
he
should
be
born
again
though
he
was
a
Master
in
Israel
.
42.
And
it
is
now
as
it
was
in
former
Ages
,
if
the
truth
be
not
declared
to
be
truth
by
the
Rulers
and
Chief
Magistrates
,
then
the
Generality
of
the
people
will
not
suffer
it
to
be
spoken
before
them
,
without
calling
it
Blasphemy
,
Heresie
,
Delusion
,
or
a
Lye
,
or
such
like
Expressions
,
wherewith
they
corrupt
themselves
;
Because
they
speak
evil
of
those
things
which
they
know
not
,
as
it
is
written
by
St.
Jude
.
CHAP.
IV
.
How
careful
people
ought
to
be
,
in
preserving
that
which
they
labour
for
,
because
Poverty
is
a
great
Enemy
to
Truth
,
and
breaketh
the
peace
of
the
mind
.
1.
THough
we
are
not
to
suffer
our selves
to
be
taken
captive
by
the
riches
of
this
world
,
yet
we
must
provide
against
the
other
enemy
,
which
is
Poverty
.
Poverty
will
be
creeping
in
to
take
possession
if
it
be
not
resisted
:
And
though
Poverty
be
of
such
a
contrary
nature
to
Riches
,
whereby
no
man
loveth
it
,
because
it
is
not
delightful
,
yet
where
it
takes
possession
,
it
is
not
easily
flung
out
again
.
2.
Therefore
let
no
Believer
give
himself
too
much
liberty
,
lest
Poverty
fall
upon
him
,
but
when
he
hath
him
under
him
,
let
him
keep
him
down
.
3.
And
Poverty
is
easily
kept
down
with
Industry
,
by
him
who
is
willing
to
labour
,
and
mindful
to
preserve
that
which
he
hath
taken
great
pains
for
.
4.
Again
,
it
is
not
the
earning
of
a
great
deal
of
Money
in
a
Day
or
in
a
Week
that
causeth
a
man
and
his
Family
to
live
comfortably
,
but
the
well
managing
what
he
getteth
,
this
I
know
by
Experience
.
5.
I
have
known
several
men
,
though
not
Believers
,
that
could
by
their
Trades
earn
20
,
30
,
or
40
shillings
a
week
,
and
some
more
money
,
yet
by
their
immoderate
living
,
being
given
to
extreme
Wastefulness
;
6.
Or
else
being
given
to
Idleness
,
trusting
to
what
they
could
earn
in
a
day
or
two
in
a
week
,
so
that
their
families
have
lacked
both
food
raiment
which
was
convenient
for
them
.
7.
When
those
who
could
not
earn
half
so
much
,
have
by
their
carefulness
lived
comfortably
,
and
lacked
for
nothing
that
was
necessary
.
8.
Therefore
let
every
man
observe
that
old
Proverb
,
To
cut
his
Coat
according
to
his
Cloath
,
that
is
,
that
he
spendeth
or
layeth
out
no
more
than
what
is
agreeable
to
his
comings
in
,
and
then
there
will
be
no
want
.
9.
Again
,
I
know
several
whose
earnings
are
but
small
,
which
will
not
amount
to
above
six
,
eight
,
or
ten
shillings
a
week
at
the
most
,
if
they
work
all
the
week
,
and
yet
these
will
spend
so
much
of
their
time
idly
,
and
so
much
of
their
little
earnings
wastefully
,
that
they
can
hardly
spare
their
Family
money
to
buy
them
bread
in
time
of
health
and
strength
.
10.
But
what
will
become
of
them
then
in
time
of
Sickness
,
Lameness
,
or
Old
Age
?
Surely
nothing
but
sorrow
and
calamity
.
11.
Poverty
doth
make
people
run
into
many
dangers
,
many
will
rather
adventure
their
lives
by
breaking
the
Law
,
than
to
want
those
things
that
are
necessary
in
this
life
.
12.
Most
commonly
this
want
is
procured
either
by
mens
extravagancie
in
spending
their
yearly
Revenue
,
or
what
they
have
hardly
laboured
for
,
or
else
by
mispending
their
time
in
idleness
.
13.
I
am
sure
whosoever
is
guilty
of
any
of
these
things
cannot
be
at
peace
in
his
mind
upon
a
spiritual
Account
,
and
therefore
Poverty
and
Wastefulness
is
an
enemy
to
truth
.
14.
Furthermore
,
will
not
the
words
of
a
Child
cut
more
sharp
than
a
two-edged
Sword
,
when
he
shall
ask
for
Bread
and
his
Father
or
Mother
hath
none
to
give
him
,
nor
mony
to
buy
food
to
satisfie
their
hungry
Babewithal
;
this
must
lie
very
heavy
upon
those
who
have
brought
themselves
into
such
a
condition
by
their
own
wilful
extravagancie
or
idleness
.
15.
But
it
may
be
some
will
say
,
they
have
no
Children
,
the
cry
of
a
Child
cannot
trouble
them
;
but
if
it
be
the
cry
of
a
wife
,
or
of
his
own
poor
Soul
,
being
through
sickness
,
lameness
,
or
old
Age
brought
to
want
food
or
rayment
,
and
all
for
want
of
a
providential
care
in
the
time
of
his
health
to
keep
something
to
help
him
at
such
a
time
when
comfort
is
required
;
these
things
must
needs
break
the
peace
of
the
mind
;
therefore
poverty
is
an
enemy
to
truth
.
16.
Though
we
are
commanded
to
love
our
Enemies
,
yet
we
are
not
to
love
such
Enemies
as
will
break
our
peace
with
God
,
which
these
Enemies
before
mentioned
will
do
,
if
we
make
a
league
with
them
;
and
it
is
written
,
He
that
provideth
not
for
himself
and
his
family
is
worse
than
an
infidel
.
17.
I
hope
no
Believer
will
be
guilty
of
that
sin
;
neither
are
we
to
take
hold
of
those
words
,
Take
no
care
for
to
morrow
,
but
let
the
day
bring
forth
with
it self
;
for
those
words
were
chiefly
spoken
to
the
Apostles
,
and
those
whom
they
had
ordained
to
be
fellow-labourers
with
them
in
the
Gospel
of
Christ
.
18.
They
indeed
were
not
to
take
scrip
,
nor
staff
,
nor
two
Coats
apiece
,
signifying
that
they
were
not
to
take
care
in
this
life
for
any
thing
but
to
seed
the
Church
with
the
Gospel
of
truth
,
and
temporal
necessaries
should
be
added
,
as
it
is
written
,
They
that
preach
the
Gospel
shall
live
by
the
Gospel
.
19.
Nevertheless
St.
Paul
saith
,
that
his
hands
ministred
to
his
necessities
,
rather
than
he
would
be
a
burthen
to
the
Church
.
20.
Therefore
let
all
Believers
take
such
care
,
that
by
their
labour
or
lawful
industry
they
may
be
able
to
minister
to
their
own
necessities
without
being
a
burthen
to
the
Church
,
which
are
the
Houshold
of
faithful
people
:
And
that
they
may
have
something
to
spare
,
because
it
is
a
greater
blessing
to
give
than
to
receive
.
21.
I
write
these
things
to
encourage
Believers
and
all
other
civil
people
to
be
careful
and
industrious
in
the
time
of
their
health
and
strength
,
and
when
they
have
store
of
imployment
to
lay
by
something
to
help
them
when
either
their
health
,
strength
,
or
imployment
faileth
them
.
22.
Then
is
the
time
of
their
necessity
,
and
in
time
of
necessity
and
want
of
bread
the
peace
of
a
mans
mind
is
broken
,
and
he
hath
no
more
liberty
and
freedom
in
his
mind
,
to
mind
the
glorious
things
of
Eternity
,
than
he
hath
whose
mind
is
intangled
with
the
Riches
and
Honour
of
the
World
,
therefore
Poverty
is
an
enemy
to
Truth
.
23.
When
Poverty
is
come
,
then
doth
the
thriftless
man
begin
to
imploy
his
mind
altogother
on
worldly
things
and
matters
,
how
he
shall
escape
that
great
danger
he
hath
brought
himself
into
.
24.
To
steal
he
is
afraid
,
to
beg
he
is
ashamed
,
his
Credit
is
so
bad
no
body
will
trust
him
,
and
in
this
Condition
there
can
be
no
peace
.
25.
Neither
can
the
effects
thereof
prove
good
,
for
he
must
be
forced
either
to
beg
,
or
to
take
some
evil
course
at
last
,
except
some
friend
or
friends
do
take
pity
on
him
,
and
relieve
him
.
26.
Then
if
he
be
by
that
means
brought
to
see
all
his
former
folly
,
and
to
repent
of
it
,
then
the
taste
of
want
hath
proved
good
to
him
.
27.
But
for
my
part
,
I
cannot
understand
what
pleasure
or
delight
any
man
can
take
in
spending
and
consuming
that
mony
in
waste
which
they
labour
for
,
when
they
are
sensible
what
a
sad
condition
many
people
have
brought
themselves
into
by
the
like
extravagancie
.
28.
Let
these
things
therefore
be
an
example
to
all
Believers
,
lest
they
should
be
taken
in
the
same
snares
with
the
wicked
,
and
so
should
undergoe
that
punishment
due
to
them
,
which
is
to
want
all
temporal
comforts
,
besides
that
horror
which
will
be
upon
the
mind
for
the
dishonouring
that
Truth
of
which
they
are
partakers
.
29.
Though
it
is
written
,
Those
that
are
poor
in
this
world
and
rich
in
Faith
are
Heirs
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
yet
that
was
not
written
to
encourage
any
believer
to
live
in
idleness
,
or
to
spend
his
mony
or
time
wastefully
,
whereby
to
keep
himself
poor
,
for
Poverty
(
as
beforesaid
)
is
an
enemy
to
truth
and
to
the
peace
of
the
mind
.
30.
Also
be
that
is
rich
in
Faith
hath
that
Riches
of
Temporal
wisdom
in
him
to
use
the
uttermost
of
his
endeavours
to
keep
himself
and
family
from
wanting
temporal
comforts
in
this
life
.
31.
If
there
be
any
Believer
that
hath
been
industrious
in
his
calling
,
and
careful
to
maintain
himself
and
family
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
,
not
wasteing
his
time
or
mony
idly
,
I
say
,
if
such
an
one
should
be
brought
very
low
and
poor
,
by
either
losses
,
sickness
,
greatness
of
charge
,
having
many
Children
,
old
Age
,
Persecution
,
or
such
like
causes
,
I
have
not
written
any
thing
here
to
hinder
those
from
being
relieved
.
32.
It
doth
make
my
Soul
to
mourn
,
when
I
hear
of
a
Believer
to
want
food
or
rayment
which
is
convenient
for
them
,
and
I
have
always
been
willing
to
help
such
poor
Believers
,
and
ever
shall
be
if
I
have
it
to
give
.
33.
And
I
would
have
all
Believers
according
to
their
ability
to
be
willing
to
help
such
poor
Believers
whose
Poverty
comes
not
by
their
own
wilful
extravagancies
.
CHAP.
V.
How
people
ought
to
be
moderate
in
all
things
:
The
comfort
of
Moderation
,
and
the
discomfort
of
Immoderation
,
Excess
and
Extravagancie
.
1.
MOreover
,
I
would
have
all
Believers
learn
to
be
moderate
and
temperate
in
all
things
;
for
immoderation
and
intemperateness
destroyeth
many
a
man
,
both
body
and
Estate
.
2.
For
we
see
by
experience
that
they
who
are
extremely
given
to
drinking
,
that
it
doth
not
only
waste
their
Estate
,
but
it
doth
also
destroy
their
health
and
disorder
their
Bodies
so
much
,
that
no
wise
man
will
become
a
slave
unto
it
.
3.
All
sorts
of
strong
drink
doth
disturb
the
Head
,
Stomach
,
and
Minds
of
Men
if
they
drink
to
excess
;
Wherefore
then
should
any
man
take
delight
in
it
?
Especially
those
that
know
truth
?
They
should
abhor
the
vanity
of
that
vice
which
maketh
men
uncapable
to
know
themselves
.
4.
Secondly
,
it
is
not
good
for
any
man
to
do
greater
work
than
his
strength
is
able
to
bear
;
for
though
at
the
present
not
felt
,
yet
after
the
prime
of
his
years
are
past
,
then
he
begins
to
feel
the
want
of
that
natural
strength
which
he
had
destroyed
.
5.
And
care
herein
is
to
be
had
not
to
over-lift
,
or
carry
over-heavy
burthens
,
or
to
over-heat
ones
self
in
any
manner
of
labour
whatsoever
in
the
time
of
health
and
strength
whereby
to
earn
extraordinary
wages
.
6.
Then
when
sickness
or
lameness
cometh
by
this
over-hard
working
,
that
mony
is
quickly
spent
;
and
besides
that
,
if
he
recover
,
yet
he
is
hardly
able
to
work
at
all
when
he
groweth
a
little
more
into
years
.
7.
We
may
observe
that
Moderation
in
all
things
is
good
in
work
as
well
as
in
other
things
,
for
he
that
worketh
moderately
,
and
worketh
six
days
in
a
Week
,
shall
bring
home
more
money
to
his
Family
,
and
keep
his
health
and
strength
better
than
he
that
worketh
extreme
hard
for
three
or
four
days
in
a
Week
,
and
then
playeth
the
rest
,
and
spendeth
what
he
hath
hardly
laboured
for
in
idle
Company
.
8.
Therefore
I
desire
every
Believer
to
take
good
observation
of
all
these
things
,
and
consider
well
of
them
;
and
then
that
which
he
findeth
to
be
most
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
peace
of
his
own
mind
,
let
him
so
practise
.
9.
Again
,
let
all
Believers
strive
to
be
moderate
and
temperate
in
their
spirits
,
not
suffering
passion
to
oversway
them
;
for
many
times
Oathes
are
apt
to
break
out
of
the
mouths
of
men
in
their
passion
.
10.
However
,
if
not
Oaths
,
unseemly
words
are
spoken
at
such
a
time
,
and
it
is
that
which
cometh
out
of
the
mouth
that
defileth
the
man
:
And
what
is
that
which
cometh
out
of
the
mouth
to
defile
a
man
?
Nothing
but
vain
words
,
and
blaspheming
.
11.
And
I
would
not
have
any
Saint
to
be
guilty
of
blasphemy
,
or
vain
words
to
defile
himself
.
12.
Not
but
that
I
know
every
true
believer
hath
so
much
Faith
as
will
keep
him
from
blaspheming
against
God
,
but
there
may
be
some
that
may
be
apt
to
speak
evil
of
men
undeservedly
or
unadvisedly
.
13.
And
whosoever
doth
speak
evil
of
a
man
blasphemeth
against
him
,
by
bringing
a
reproach
upon
his
name
;
and
who
ever
doth
evil
to
any
man
sinneth
against
him
.
14.
Such
are
those
sins
and
blasphemies
against
man
which
will
be
forgiven
,
but
they
will
defile
the
mind
abundantly
,
and
break
its
peace
exceedingly
,
therefore
let
no
such
corruption
dwell
with
Believers
.
15.
Thirdly
,
let
all
Believers
take
special
care
that
they
do
not
give
themselves
to
lasciviousness
;
Fornication
and
Adultery
are
crying
sins
:
there
is
no
temporal
sin
can
lie
heavier
upon
the
Conscience
,
except
Murther
,
Therefore
let
all
Believers
be
sure
to
keep
themselves
from
all
actual
sins
.
16.
Again
,
let
all
believers
be
sure
to
keep
their
word
of
promise
upon
a
temporal
Account
;
for
it
is
the
Credit
and
Reputation
of
a
man
in
this
life
to
keep
his
word
and
promise
.
17.
For
when
once
a
mans
word
will
not
be
taken
because
it
is
usual
with
him
to
break
his
promise
,
then
his
Reputation
sinketh
,
and
no
man
will
trust
him
with
any
thing
of
value
.
18.
Lastly
,
above
all
things
,
let
all
Believers
be
sure
that
they
keep
close
to
the
Truth
,
so
that
they
do
not
go
a
whoring
after
strange
Gods
,
nor
suffer
themselves
to
be
defiled
with
worshipping
of
Idols
.
19.
The
sin
of
Idolatry
is
as
bad
as
the
sin
of
witchcraft
,
and
the
committing
of
fornication
with
Idols
,
is
worse
than
any
Temporal
Fornication
or
Whoredom
,
for
the
one
defileth
the
body
and
the
other
defileth
the
Spirit
.
20.
No
man
can
say
his
heart
is
perfect
to
the
Lord
God
,
when
he
cannot
refrain
from
going
to
worship
among
those
that
know
not
God
,
and
bow
himself
to
Idols
.
CHAP.
VI
.
Every
true
Believer
is
Heir
to
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
because
he
is
free-born
,
and
free
by
Redemption
.
1.
WHoever
they
are
that
are
Believers
,
yet
by
that
corrupted
Reason
in
them
have
been
overcome
to
commit
evil
in
any
sort
whatsoever
,
they
can
witness
the
Torment
belonging
to
it
in
themselves
,
and
thereby
they
learn
to
do
righteously
ever
after
,
having
by
experience
found
the
difference
between
doing
good
and
evil
.
2.
In
the
Apostles
time
there
were
some
Believers
,
that
through
the
occasion
of
sin
had
such
operations
in
them
knowing
by
experience
the
difference
between
doing
good
and
evil
,
that
they
were
able
to
declare
unto
other
Believers
what
afflictions
they
had
undergone
within
themselves
for
doing
those
things
that
were
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Truth
.
3.
They
having
by
Faith
overcome
those
operations
,
were
made
the
more
able
to
withstand
them
afterwards
;
yet
nevertheless
lest
any
Believers
should
through
the
Temptation
fall
wilfully
into
sin
,
thinking
thereby
to
be
made
stronger
in
Faith
,
St.
Paul
said
,
Shall
we
sin
that
Grace
may
abound
?
God
forbid
.
4.
Therefore
it
is
a
greater
comfort
for
all
men
,
especially
Believers
to
live
innocently
all
the
dayes
of
their
lives
,
than
for
them
to
fall
once
into
sin
,
though
by
the
forgiveness
thereof
they
are
made
more
able
to
withstand
Temptations
afterwards
.
5.
It
is
the
best
for
all
Believers
to
learn
to
be
temperate
and
wise
,
and
well
to
consider
the
effects
that
will
follow
their
actions
,
whereby
there
may
be
no
cause
of
Repentance
afterwards
,
then
shall
we
keep
our
peace
with
God
and
man
.
6.
If
we
do
not
keep
our
peace
,
then
are
we
in
bondage
,
and
why
should
we
suffer
our selves
to
be
carried
into
bondage
by
iniquity
,
when
as
our
Faith
and
Knowledge
leadeth
us
to
live
in
purity
.
7.
We
who
are
Believers
are
both
Free-born
,
and
Free
by
Redemption
.
First
,
we
are
Free-born
,
because
we
are
of
the
seed
of
Faith
,
called
the
Seed
of
Gods
own
body
,
which
seed
is
Heir
to
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
by
birth
.
8.
Secondly
,
We
are
free
by
Redemption
,
because
our
God
paid
a
great
Ransome
for
us
to
redeem
us
from
sin
and
iniquity
.
9.
Our
sins
,
that
is
the
sins
of
the
Elect
,
were
so
great
that
no
other
price
could
satisfie
that
Debt
,
but
the
death
of
the
Godhead
only
.
10.
That
God
who
created
the
World
,
so
loved
the
World
,
that
is
the
world
of
Elect
;
or
the
Elect
in
the
world
,
that
for
their
sakes
alone
did
he
lay
down
his
Godhead-life
for
a
moment
in
shame
.
11.
That
is
,
he
suffered
that
shameful
death
upon
the
Cross
,
betwixt
two
Thieves
,
whereby
he
was
numbred
among
Transgressors
,
and
all
that
was
,
that
he
might
gain
to
himself
power
to
raise
all
those
to
Eternal
life
and
glory
with
himself
,
that
had
had
faith
to
believe
.
12.
That
according
to
his
promise
he
would
send
his
Son
,
or
become
a
Child
himself
in
Mortality
,
and
all
those
that
had
faith
to
believe
that
he
was
the
Messiah
and
Saviour
of
the
world
when
he
was
come
.
13.
And
all
those
that
now
can
truly
believe
,
that
he
is
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
in
one
Single
Person
Glorified
,
he
laid
down
his
Godhead
life
for
.
14.
And
also
by
laying
down
his
said
life
,
and
rising
again
,
he
purchased
for
himself
a
double
Crown
of
Glory
and
Honour
.
15.
Before
Eternity
became
time
,
and
time
became
Eternity
again
,
that
is
,
before
God
became
a
pure
mortal
man
,
and
afterwards
immortalized
himself
again
,
which
is
a
riddle
too
hard
for
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
to
understand
.
16.
I
say
,
before
that
blessed
time
God
had
the
glory
and
honour
of
a
Creator
only
;
but
by
his
death
and
rising
again
he
hath
now
the
glory
and
honour
of
the
Redeemer
and
Saviour
of
the
world
;
therefore
according
to
his
own
promise
,
as
it
is
written
in
Isaiah
,
His
Glory
is
not
given
to
another
.
17.
And
as
he
purchased
a
double
Glory
to
himself
,
so
likewise
hath
he
purchased
Eternal
life
and
glory
for
us
who
do
truly
believe
him
to
be
the
only
and
alone
wise
God
.
18.
And
also
by
his
Death
and
Resurrection
he
hath
purchased
for
the
unbelieving
Reprobates
everlasting
Torments
that
will
never
end
.
19.
What
manner
of
lives
therefore
ought
we
to
live
being
we
are
sensible
for
what
end
and
purpose
the
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
laid
down
his
life
.
20.
Therefore
let
us
strive
always
to
do
those
things
which
we
know
to
be
well
pleasing
to
our
God
,
because
we
only
are
the
true
believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
which
is
the
Lords
third
and
last
Commission
or
Testament
,
and
so
are
a
peculiar
people
in
this
Generation
,
knowing
more
of
the
mind
of
God
,
than
any
believers
did
in
times
past
.
21.
Wherefore
let
not
us
darken
this
great
and
marvellous
light
by
any
unseemly
carriage
,
but
let
us
abstain
from
all
manner
of
evil
that
may
any
way
break
our
peace
,
or
beget
a
Civil
war
within
us
.
22.
Which
war
will
not
be
ended
until
we
lay
down
those
weapons
,
wherewith
we
fight
against
that
Truth
by
which
we
have
received
the
assurance
of
our
Salvation
.
23.
And
by
Repentance
make
our
peace
again
,
and
cease
from
all
manner
of
evil
,
then
by
well
doing
we
shall
not
only
keep
our
peace
with
God
,
but
we
shall
also
put
to
silence
all
those
that
shall
speak
evil
of
Truth
.
24.
They
being
ignorant
of
the
power
of
Faith
,
which
we
have
by
believing
Commissonated
men
,
that
had
then
Commission
and
Power
given
them
from
Christ
himself
.
CHAP.
VII
.
When
any
evil
is
committed
by
a
Believer
,
it
stoppeth
the
current
of
his
Faith
:
Yet
it
is
the
heart
that
God
mindeth
,
and
not
the
outward
appearance
.
That
every
Believer
should
weed
his
own
Garden
.
1.
WE
who
are
Believers
of
the
Commission
and
Testament
before
expressed
,
knowing
that
we
have
our
hearts
purified
by
obeying
the
Truth
,
and
having
unfained
love
to
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
for
the
Truths
sake
:
Let
us
love

Blessed
are
the
pure
in

This
also
may
every
believer
witness
by
experience
,
that
whenever
he
committeth
any
manner
of
evil
that
evil
committed
by
him
as
it
hath
,
so
it
will
hinder
and
stop
the
current
of
the
Well-spring
of
Faith
in
him
,
and
make
it
seem
as
if
it
were
dried
up
,
until
it
beginneth
to
spring
forth
again
by
Repentance
.
3.
I
witness
this
by
experience
in
my self
,
and
I
know
there
are
very
few
believers
(
if
any
at
all
)
but
they
will
witness
the
same
,
having
had
at
one
time
or
other
a
taste
of
it
,
or
will
do
it
when
ever
they
take
a
particular
account
of
their
folly
.
4.
Therefore
I
would
have
all
Believers
to
muster
up
all
their
follies
,
and
the
forces
of
them
together
,
and
disband
them
,
and
have
no
more
service
for
those
Souldiers
of
vanity
who
fight
against
truth
.
5.
Yet
for
all
this
,
I
know
it
is
the
heart
God
mindeth
,
and
not
the
outward
appearance
:
but
by
the
outward
appearance
men
are
apt
to
judge
either
good
or
evil
,
but
it
is
only
they
who
see
by
the
eye
of
Faith
,
and
that
know
the
nature
of
the
two
Seeds
(
of
the
serpent
and
of
the
woman
)
that
can
give
true
judgment
upon
the
Eternal
condition
of
men
.
6.
Let
mens
outward
appearances
be
what
they
will
,
by
their
words
they
shall
be
either
justified
or
condemned
:
for
as
there
are
many
that
make
a
great
profession
of
Righteousness
,
and
in
their
dealings
are
very
just
so
that
none
can
accuse
them
for
any
evil
,
yet
by
their
despising
of
Truth
,
We
know
them
to
be
Reprobates
.
7.
So
on
the
contrary
,
there
may
be
some
of
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
that
by
their
lives
and
Conversations
are
not
by
the
world
discerned
to
have
any
thing
of
true
knowledge
in
them
by
the
outward
appearance
,
because
they
are
full
of
folly
,
as
being
given
to
justing
,
fudling
,
breaking
their
promises
,
or
such
like
.
8.
Which
things
are
not
at
all
justified
and
in
being
,
and
doing
so
,
they
break
their
own
peace
as
aforesaid
;
&
to
the
zealous
sort
of
the
seed
of
Reason
,
it
is
so
ridiculous
,
that
they
think
there
can
be
no
true
Faith
,
where
there
is
not
a
Pharisaical
holiness
to
be
seen
of
men
.
9.
Yet
these
Believers
,
which
by
the
world
are
accounted
sinners
,
shall
at
the
day
of
the
Lord
appear
all
glorious
,
and
be
Crowned
with
honour
,
because
they
had
true
Faith
,
and
did
truly
believe
that
Christ
was
the
only
and
alone
wise
God
,
and
that
his
Messengers
were
true
Prophets
,
and
that
the
Doctrine
declared
by
them
was
true
also
;
therefore
it
is
by
Faith
,
and
not
by
outward
appearance
that
men
are
justified
by
in
the
sight
of
God
.
10.
Now
even
hereupon
let
all
true
Believers
learn
to
be
wise
and
moderate
in
all
things
upon
a
temporal
account
,
that
they
give
not
offence
to
others
.
11.
Neither
let
Believers
who
walk
in
the
Light
,
lay
stumbling-blocks
for
others
to
fall
at
,
who
walk
in
darkness
;
but
rather
labour
to
remove
all
stumbling
stones
out
of
the
way
,
by
a
pure
and
holy
life
.
12.
That
we
by
our
upright
living
may
be
a
means
to
draw
others
from
their
corrupt
lives
to
a
pure
and
holy
conversation
.
13.
And
sure
I
am
,
that
there
is
none
of
the
seed
of
faith
,
who
have
in
any
sort
led
a
corrupt
life
,
but
they
are
made
sensible
of
their
folly
by
those
afflictions
which
have
fallen
upon
their
minds
,
by
not
keeping
themselves
unspotted
to
the
world
.
14.
That
inward
punishment
is
so
uneasie
,
nay
sharp
to
bear
,
that
it
will
cause
all
who
have
true
faith
to
weed
their
Gardens
so
clean
from
all
manner
of
evil
Weeds
,
that
the
pure
flower
of
Faith
may
spread
it self
forth
.
15.
Then
will
the
Truth
gloriously
shine
forth
in
all
those
Believers
who
have
dispersed
the
Clouds
of
vanity
,
and
cast
out
the
weeds
of
folly
.
CHAP.

.
He
is
not
accounted
a
wise
man
that
will
wilfully
wound
himself
.
How
we
may
know
when
our
sins
are
forgiven
.
1.
NOne
will
account
that
man
wise
who
will
take
a
Sword
or
Knife
in
his
hand
and
wound
himself
wilfully
,
when
he
knoweth
it
will
put
him
to
a
great
deal
of
pain
so
soon
as
it
is
done
,
besides
the
lamentable
misery
he
must
endure
in
the
curing
of
it
again
.
2.
Every
time
his
wound
is
dressed
or
touched
,
it
pains
him
more
than
the
making
of
the
wound
,
which
he
made
in
his
hasty
humour
,
also
there
will
be
a
blemish
in
the
skin
a
great
while
after
,
if
ever
it
do
grow
out
at
all
.
3.
And
so
it
is
upon
a
spiritual
account
.
None
will
take
that
man
to
be
a
spiritual
wise
man
,
that
will
wilfully
break
and
wound
his
own
peace
,
by
breaking
the
Law
,
or
walking
any
way
disorderly
,
contrary
to
the
Law
of
Faith
.
4.
He
that
is
faithful
knoweth
that
he
shall
endure
greater
affliction
upon
his
mind
after
he
hath
committed
evil
,
then
at
the
time
he
had
pleasure
in
the
committing
of
it
.
5.
As
a
wound
that
is
deep
in
the
flesh
is
more
grievous
and
terrible
to
the
Patient
than
it
was
pleasant
at
the
time
of
wounding
;
so
likewise
is
every
sin
or
evil
in
the
guilt
of
it
more
terrible
to
a
man
that
hath
true
faith
,
when
afterwards
he
considereth
what
he
hath
done
,
than
the
delight
he
had
in
the
time
of
the
acting
thereof
,
that
he
may
say
,
It
was
but
indeed
the
pleasure
of
sin
for
a
season
.
6.
Every
time
the
remembrance
of
it
cometh
into
his
mind
it
striketh
him
to
the
heart
,
and
woundeth
his
spirit
;
and
a
wounded
spirit
who
is
able
to
bear
it
.
7.
The
reflection
of
evil
upon
a
mans
mind
is
much
like
the
dressing
of
a
deep
wound
in
the
flesh
.
And
as
a
wound
in
the
flesh
must
be
often
drest
,
so
must
he
that
is
faithful
,
and
yet
committeth
evil
expect
to
hear
often
of
it
.
Therefore
let
all
believers
learn
to
be
wise
and
keep
themselves
unspotted
to
the
world
.
8.
Again
,
the
blemish
and
reproach
that
will
be
upon
a
Believers
name
for
being
accounted
a
sinner
,
will
remain
a
long
time
before
it
be
forgotten
,
if
ever
it
wear
out
of
memory
.
9.
Therefore
let
us
that
know
the
truth
be
an
example
to
others
in
all
things
that
are
just
and
honest
both
in
our
words
and
in
the
purity
of
our
lives
and
conversations
,
that
all
those
who
are
in
the
truth
,
and
they
who
shall
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
after
us
,
may
rejoyce
in
the
publishing
of
our
names
,
and
not
to
be
ashamed
to
make
mention
of
us
.
10.
To
him
that
knoweth
how
to
do
well
and
doeth
it
not
,
to
him
it
is
sin
.
Therefore
let
all
true
Believers
learn
to
do
that
which
is
justifiable
both
before
God
and
man
.
11.
There
are
but
two
things
which
a
Saint
hath
to
mind
,
that
is
to
keep
peace
with
God
and
himself
unspotted
in
the
world
,
and
then
he
may
appear
with
boldness
before
the
Throne
of
Grace
.
12.
Therefore
let
all
Believers
be
sure
to
wash
their
hearts
clean
with
the
spirit
of
Truth
;
for
if
there
be
any
evil
hid
in
the
heart
,
that
the
world
knoweth
not
of
whereby
to
accuse
them
;
yet
that
Watchman
which
God
hath
set
in
the
hearts
of
all
men
to
watch
their
actions
will
accuse
them
,
if
there
be
any
evil
lodged
in
the
heart
never
so
secretly
.
13.
And
this
Watchman
is
the
Law
written
in
our
natures
;
if
that
can
accuse
us
,
then
may
we
be
assured
to
appear
before
the
Judge
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
because
we
have
broken
that
peace
which
we
had
with
him
.
14.
But
if
we
have
broken
that
peace
,
then
we
must
be
sure
to
make
our
peace
again
by
Repentance
,
and
hereby
we
may
know
whether
our
peace
be
made
with
God
again
,
or
no
.
15.
First
,
if
we
do
acknowledge
in
our selves
that
we
have
broke
his
Law
,
or
done
contrary
to
the
Light
of
Faith
which
is
Gods
Divine
Nature
,
which
as
the
Apostle
speaks
,
the
Saints
or
Believers
are
partakers
of
.
Secondly
,
if
we
do
find
in
our selves
a
hearty
sorrow
fulness
,
whereby
we
do
truly
repent
that
we
have
offended
our
God
,
in
sinning
against
so
great
a
Light
.
16.
Also
thirdly
,
if
after
this
Repentance
we
do
forsake
all
those
evil
ways
which
broke
our
peace
,
and
keep
close
to
the
Truth
in
well
doing
.
17.
Then
may
we
be
●ssured
that
all
our
Transgressions
are
forgiven
,
and
with
boldness
appear
before
the
Throne
of
Grace
,
because
our
sins
are
blotted
out
,
and
will
no
more
be
brought
into
remembrance
.

How
Eternity
became
Time
:
and
the
Eternal
Father
became
a
Son
,
born
of
a
Virgin
.
Now
is
the
Prophesie
of
Isaiah
fulfilled
.
1.
Let
us
set
our
Affections
wholly
on
things
above
,
which
we
know
do
give
the
most
and
only
satisfaction
to
the
Soul
and
mind
of
man
,
so
that
we
may
appear
to
be
the
Elect
of
God
,
to
whom
God
hath
by
his
last
true
Prophets
revealed
and
made
known
the
riches
of
his
Glory
.
2.
Whereby
we
know
how
that
it
was
the
pleasure
of
the
Glorious
God
in
Heaven
above
the
Stars
for
a
time
to
leave
his
Glorious
Throne
,
and
to
descend
into
the
lower
parts
of
the
Earth
.
3.
That
Earth
which
God
descended
into
was
the
Virgins
womb
,
therefore
it
is
written
,
He
descended
into
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth
;
and
I
am
assured
that
it
cannot
be
proved
by
Faith
,
Reason
,
or
Scriptures
,
that
God
did
otherwise
descend
into
any
part
of
the
Earth
on
which
we
tread
.
4.
And
the
most
high
and
holy
God
,
the
wise
Creator
of
all
things
was
pleased
to
descend
from
his
immortal
Throne
of
Glory
into
the
womb
of
a
Virgin
who
was
but
an
earthly
Creature
,
because
she
was
generated
from
the
first
Adam
,
who
was
made
of
the
dust
of
the
earth
.
5.
Yet
she
was
a
Virgin
,
and
her
Seed
was
pure
and
undefiled
,
and
in
her
Womb
did
the
Immortal
God
,
Mortalize
and
dissolve
himself
into
Seed
,
and
then
did
Eternity
become
time
,
and
there
did
the
wise
Creator
cloath
his
Godhead-Spirit
with
flesh
and
bones
as
with
a
Garment
.
6.
The
Virgin-wise
Mary
brought
forth
her
Firstborn
,
the
Son
of
God
,
and
the
Eternal
Father
and
Creator
himself
.
Therefore
it
is
written
,
He
was
in
the
World
,
and
the
World
was
made
by
him
,
but
the
world
knew
him
not
,
when
he
was
manifested
in
the
flesh
.
Also
it
is
written
,
In
him
(
that
is
,
in
Christ
)
dwelleth
all
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
bodily
.
7.
Again
it
is
written
,
Isaiah
43.3
.
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God
,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
,
thy
Saviour
.
Ver
.
11.
I
,
even
I
,
am
the
Lord
,
and
besides
me
there
is
no
Saviour
.
Chap.
44.

I
am
the
first
,
and
I
am
the
last
,
and
besides
me
there
is
no
God
.
Chap.
42.
ver
.
8.
I
am
the
Lord
,
that
is
my
Name
,
and
my
Glory
I
will
not
give
to
another
.
And
in
the
9th
.
Chapt
.
ver
.
6.
For
unto
us
a
Child
is
born
,
unto
us
a
Son
is
given
,
and
the
Government
shall
be
upon
his
shoulders
,
and
his
Name
shall
be
called
the
wonderful
Councellour
,
the
Mighty
God
,
the
everlasting
Father
,
the
Prince
of
Peace
.
These
things
were
spoken
by
the
Prophets
long
before
Christ
was
born
;
whereby
the
Eye
of
Faith
can
clearly
see
,
that
there
is
no
other
God
but
that
Christ
,
which
was
God
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
seen
of
Angels
preached
unto
the
Gentiles
,
believed
on
in
the
World
,
received
up
into
Glory
.
8.
And
therefore
Time
is
become
Eternity
again
,
and
Mortality
is
immortalized
;
and
that
God
Christ
is
glorified
with
the
same
glory
that
he
had
before
he
became
a
Child
.
9.
And
since
he
was
glorified
,
he
hath
said
,
I
am
Alpha
and
Omega
,
the
Beginning
and
the
Ending
,
saith
the
Lord
,
which
is
,
and
which
was
,
and
which
is
to
come
,
the
Almighty
.
And
again
,
saith
he
,
I
am
the
First
and
the
Last
,
I
am
he
that
was
dead
,
and
am
alive
,
and
behold
,
I
live
for
evermore
.
10.
Thus
it
is
plain
to
all
that
have
true
Faith
,
that
Immortality
became
Mortal
,
and
that
Mortality
is
become
Immortal
again
:
for
had
not
God
become
mortal
,
he
could
not
have
suffered
that
death
upon
the
Cross
;
and
were
not
mortallity
raised
up
to
immortality
,
he
could
not
live
for
evermore
.
11.
Thus
doth
Faith
see
how
Eternity
became
Time
,
and
how
Time
is
become
Eternity
again
,
and
that
Christ
was
the
Creator
as
well
as
the
Redeemer
.
Many
more
places
of
Scripture
there
are
to
prove
the
same
,
which
I
shall
not
name
them
here
.
12.
I
am
sure
it
is
life
Eternal
to
know
the
true
God
,
and
there
is
no
other
true
God
but
Christ
,
and
for
this
our
Faith
do
we
suffer
reproach
,
because
we
do
trust
in
the
living
God
,
who
is
a
God
of
a
glorious
Form
and
Substance
.
13.
But
blessed
and
happy
are
all
those
that
suffer
Reproach
only
for
having
faith
to
believe
in
the
true
God
.
Now
is
that
Prophesie
of
Isaiah
fulfilled
,
in
that
he
said
,
That
Child
and
Son
who
was
born
and
given
to
us
,
should
be
called
the
mighty
God
,
the
Everlasting
Father
,
the
Prince
of
Peace
.
14.
For
now
have
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
declared
,
that
Christ
is
both
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
in
one
single
Person
glorified
,
and
there
is
no
Salvation
to
be
had
without
believing
their
report
.
15.
From
hence
I
desire
,
and
earnestly
exhort
all
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
who
are
already
come
,
or
shall
hereafter
come
to
the
knowledge
of
this
blessed
Truth
,
to
be
very
careful
and
sure
to
keep
their
peace
with
God
,
by
keeping
close
to
the
Truth
,
and
keeping
themselves
unspotted
to
the
World
.
16.
Because
it
hath
been
the
good
will
and
pleasure
of
our
God
to
reveal
unto
us
by
the
mouth
and
Pen
of
his
last
true
Prophets
,
many
things
which
were
not
revealed
to
any
Age
before
;
therefore
we
may
justly
say
,
we
do
know
more
of
the
mind
of
God
than
any
Believers
did
in
any
Age
before
us
.
17.
We
know
what
was
declared
by
the
true
Prophets
of
old
,
&
the
Believers
in
their
time
could
know
no
more
than
what
was
then
declared
to
them
:
and
truly
to
believe
what
was
declared
was
sufficient
for
them
.
18.
And
the
Believers
in
the
Apostles
time
knew
what
was
declared
by
the
Prophets
and
what
was
declared
by
the
Apostles
also
:
so
that
they
had
a
twofold
knowledge
whereby
they
knew
more
of
the
mind
of
God
than
those
Believers
did
,
who
lived
in
the
former
Prophets
time
.
19.
The
Apostles
Doctrine
was
not
the
same
that
the
Prophets
before
them
was
,
yet
it
agreed
with
the
same
;
for
as
the
Prophets
had
declared
that
the
Messiah
,
or
Son
of
God
and
Saviour
of
the
World
should
beborn
of
a
Virgin
,
and
that
he
should
have
those
Titles
due
to
him
,
which
was
to
be
called
,
The
Mighty
God
,
and
the
Everlasting
Father
.
20.
So
likewise
did
the
Apostles
declare
that
he
was
come
,
and
that
Jesus
the
supposed
Son
of
Joseph
was
the
Son
of
God
and
Saviour
of
the
World
,
and
that
the
Jews
had
put
to
death
the
Lord
of
life
,
and
that
that
was
the
Blood
of
God
which
was
shed
upon
the
Cross
;
thus
the
Apostles
Doctrine
did
agree
with
the
Doctrine
which
the
Prophets
of
old
had
declared
.

How
the
Believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
have
a
threefold
Knowledge
;
and
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
are
the
third
and
last
Witnesses
that
God
will
send
on
this
Earth
,
to
declare
his
mind
unto
the
World
.
1.
ANd
we
who
are
Believers
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
know
what
was
declared
by
the
holy
Prophets
of
old
,
and
also
what
was
declared
by
the
Apostles
,
and
we
do
firmly
believe
that
their
Declarations
are
true
.
2.
And
we
do
also
know
and
believe
what
is
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
to
be
true
,
whereby
we
have
a
threefold
knowledge
;
though
the
Declaration
or
Doctrine
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
is
not
the
same
as
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
were
,
yet
it
doth
agree
with
them
.
3.
For
as
the
true
Prophets
of
old
did
declare
that
the
God
of
Israel
was
the
true
God
,
and
that
besides
him
there
was
no
Saviour
,
and
that
God
would
not
give
his
Glory
to
another
.
4.
And
as
the
Apostles
do
declare
,
That
the
Word
was
God
,
and
that
Word
was
made
Flesh
,
and
dwelt
among
them
,
and
that
he
was
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
and
that
in
him
was
all
fulness
,
and
that
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
dwelt
bodily
in
Christ
.
5.
So
likewise
in
confirmation
of
the
true
Prophets
prophesie
,
and
of
the
Apostles
Declaration
,
do
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
positively
affirm
and
declare
against
Men
and
Angels
that
shall
deny
it
,
that
there
is
no
other
God
but
that
Jehovah
,
who
is
called
the
mighty
God
of
Jacob
,
and
Holy
One
of
Israel
,
who
afterwards
,
according
to
the
Report
of
the
Prophet
Isaiah
,
was
born
of
a
Virgin
,
and
that
there
was
no
other
God
but
that
Jesus
which
was
Crucified
by
the
Unbelieving
Jews
,
and
he
was
the
true
God
,
whom
to
know
is
life
eternal
;
but
the
world
knew
it
not
,
because
they
had
not
faith
to
believe
his
words
,
for
had
they
known
it
,
they
would
not
have
put
to
death
the
Lord
of
Life
.
6.
The
Everlasting
Father
and
Creator
of
all
things
was
in
the
World
,
as
is
testified
by
St.
John
,
Chap.
1.
ver
.
10.
He
was
in
the
World
,
and
the
World
was
made
by
him
,
and
the
World
knew
him
not
,
ver
.
14.
the
Apostles
themselves
beheld
his
Glory
,
but
as
the
glory
of
the
only
begotten
of
the
Father
,
full
of
Grace
and
Truth
,
because
he
was
then
in
Mortality
.
7.
After
his
Death
and
Resurrection
Thomas
put
his
fingers
into
his
side
,
and
called
him
his
Lord
and
his
God
.
And
he
was
all
the
Apostles
God
;
and
therefore
they
call
him
the
only
wise
God
,
their
Saviour
,
Lord
of
Lords
,
and
King
of
Kings
.
8.
Because
there
was
none
above
him
,
therefore
he
did
rise
from
the
dead
by
his
own
power
,
and
after
his
Resurrection
he
did
ascend
into
Heaven
,
as
is
declared
by
the
Apostles
,
and
he
is
now
in
Heaven
glorified
with
the
same
Glory
he
had
before
he
became
flesh
,
therefore
his
Glory
is
not
given
to
another
.
9.
The
glorified
man
Christ
Jesus
,
was
all
the
former
true
Prophets
God
before
he
became
flesh
:
&
he
was
all
the
Apostles
God
after
he
became
flesh
;
so
likewise
he
is
the
Witnesses
of
Spirits
God
,
now
he
is
flesh
and
bone
in
Heaven
glorified
;
thus
it
may
be
clearly
discerned
by
the
Seed
of
saith
,
as
they
clearly
prove
him
to
be
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
in
one
sinple
Person
glorified
;
and
as
all
honour
,
praise
,
and
glory
doth
belong
to
Christ
now
he
is
a
spiritual
body
of
flesh
and
bone
in
Heaven
,
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
do
give
no
honour
,
praise
or
glory
to
any
other
God
but
to
Christ
.
He
was
Creator
of
this
World
as
he
was
the
Father
;
the
Redeemer
of
his
Elect
in
the
World
as
he
was
the
Son
;
and
sanctifier
of
all
his
people
as
he
is
the
Holy
Spirit
;
and
here
is
the
Trinity
in
Unity
,
and
the
Unity
in
the
Trinity
,
yet
but
one
Person
.
10.
Thus
it
is
,
and
will
appear
plainly
to
all
the
Seed
of
faith
,
that
the
Winesses
of
the
Spirit
are
the
third
and
last
Prophets
or
Witnesses
that
ever
God
will
send
on
this
earth
to
declare
his
mind
unto
the
World
.
11.
It
is
written
in
the
first
Epistle
of
St.
John
,
Chapt
.
5.
ver
.
7.
8.
There
are
three
that
bear
record
in
Heaven
,
the
Father
,
the
Son
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
(
from
these
words
do
most
people
conclude
that
they
are
three
distinct
Persons
,
and
yet
two
of
them
have
neither
form
or
substance
)
and
these
three
are
one
.
So
that
it
is
plain
to
the
Seed
of
faith
(
by
that
Text
)
they
are
all
one
in
Essence
,
in
Form
and
in
Substance
,
which
is
that
glorious
bodily
substance
of
Christ
:
12.
For
in
him
dwelleth
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
bodily
.
13.
It
is
written
also
,
And
there
are
three
that
bear
witness
on
earth
,
the
Spirit
,
the
Water
,
and
the
Blood
,
and
these
three
agree
in
one
;
that
is
,
in
their
Doctrine
or
Declaration
they
do
agree
in
one
,
whereby
we
see
the
difference
between
three
being
one
,
and
three
agreeing
in
one
.
14.
Though
those
three
which
bear
witness
on
earth
agree
in
their
Declarations
,
yet
they
are
several
Dispensations
,
and
appear
on
the
earth
in
several
ages
.
15.
The
first
Witness
on
Earth
was
Moses
and
the
rest
of
the
true
Prophets
,
which
signified
the
Water
in
the
Ceremonies
of
the
Law
;
and
they
did
all
witness
that
God
would
either
send
a
Saviour
or
become
a
Child
in
mortality
himself
to
redeem
his
people
from
their
sins
,
as
Isaiah
prophesied
.
16.
The
second
Witness
was
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
Christ
did
witness
that
he
was
come
to
suffer
all
those
things
that
the
Prophets
had
declared
concerning
him
;
so
that
Christ
himself
was
that
Witness
of
the
Blood
,
his
blood
was
shed
to
wash
away
the
sins
of
the
Elect
;
and
the
Apostles
did
declare
,
That
they
were
Eye-witnesses
both
of
his
Death
,
Resurrection
,
and
Asoention
.
17.
So
that
the
second
Witness
which
was
Christ
and
his
Apostles
did
agree
with
the
first
Witness
,
which
was
Moses
and
the
other
Prophets
.
For
as
the
first
declared
how
a
Saviour
should
be
born
;
so
the
second
declared
that
he
was
born
,
and
what
he
was
to
suffer
and
did
suffer
,
with
his
Death
and
Resurrection
,
as
aforesaid
.
18.
And
the
third
and
last
Witness
appeared
on
the
Earth
in
the
Year
1651
,
who
are
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
,
and
they
do
positively
affirm
and
declare
against
Men
and
Angels
that
shall
oppose
or
deny
it
,
That
there
neither
is
,
was
,
or
ever
shall
be
any
other
God
or
Saviour
,
but
that
God-man
Christ
Jesus
,
who
laid
down
his
life
for
the
sins
of
his
people
without
the
Gates
of
Jerusalem
,
and
the
third
day
did
rise
again
,
and
with
the
same
Body
that
he
died
and
rose
again
in
,
was
he
seen
to
ascend
up
into
Glory
in
,
when
the
Heavens
opened
to
receive
him
,
according
as
is
testified
in
the
Scriptures
.
19.
Therefore
it
is
plain
to
all
that
are
not
quite
blinde
with
ignorance
(
even
those
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
They
have
eyes
and
see
not
,
ears
and
hear
not
,
nor
heart
to
understand
)
that
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
make
but
one
compleat
Person
,
even
the
said
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
that
God-man
blessed
for
ever
.
20.
And
therefore
is
all
Glory
that
belongeth
to
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
given
to
Christ
by
all
his
chosen
people
,
both
Prophets
,
Apostles
and
Saints
,
as
is
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
.
21.
Whereby
it
obligeth
all
who
have
faith
to
believe
Christ
is
God
,
to
believe
that
John
Reeve
and
Lodowick
Muggleton
were
sent
forth
by
an
express
Command
from
God
,
as
is
testified
and
declared
by
them
to
declare
the
mind
of
God
,
to
a
bloody
and
unbelieving
World
,
because
they
do
unanimously
agree
with
the
two
former
Witnesses
,
namely
the
Water
and
the
Blood
,
who
did
declare
Christ
to
be
the
only
wise
God
and
Creator
of
all
thing
.
22.
The
first
is
become
last
,
and
the
last
first
;
the
Commission
of
the
Spirit
is
last
declared
unto
the
world
,
yet
the
Spirit
was
before
all
things
,
and
the
two
former
Witnesses
,
both
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
received
their
Commission
from
that
Spirit
which
was
a
glorious
Body
in
form
like
a
Man
from
all
Eternity
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Where
the
Truth
and
true
Knowledge
,
Peace
,
and
Satisfaction
is
to
be
had
:
And
how
it
keepeth
us
from
going
a
whoring
after
strange
Gods
.
1.
TRuth
,
and
true
Knowledge
are
the
things
which
only
can
and
do
give
satisfaction
to
the
Mind
of
man
.
Truth
doth
always
satisfie
those
that
receive
it
in
the
love
thereof
.
2.
There
is
no
Truth
,
nor
true
faith
or
knowledge
in
the
World
but
what
is
in
the
Commission
of
the
Spirit
,
therefore
no
true
peace
or
satisfaction
to
be
had
for
those
who
despise
it
:
We
who
are
Believers
thereof
,
do
know
and
understand
all
the
things
before
said
.
3.
Let
it
not
seem
strange
to
the
World
when
they
shall
hear
any
of
us
(
who
are
true
Believers
of
the
Lords
last
Messengers
)
say
,
that
we
know
more
of
the
mind
of
God
concerning
the
glorious
things
of
Eternity
,
than
all
the
people
of
the
World
besides
.
There
are
none
that
know
the
true
God
,
the
right
Devil
,
the
Nature
and
form
of
Angels
,
that
the
Soul
and
Body
of
man
dieth
together
,
and
that
they
shall
be
raised
again
,
and
what
Heaven
and
Hell
is
,
and
where
they
are
,
but
only
they
who
are
Believers
of
the
Commission
or
Winesses
of
the
Spirit
.
4.
Therefore
let
no
believer
be
ashamed
of
his
saith
,
but
declare
it
with
boldness
if
it
be
required
of
him
in
love
,
and
at
all
times
when
there
is
a
convenient
season
among
civil
and
moderate
men
,
but
not
among
those
whom
we
know
to
be
Blasphemers
.
5.
Christ
forbiddeth
to
give
that
which
is
holy
unto
Dogs
,
and
they
who
despise
truth
,
are
those
Dogs
Christ
speaks
of
,
and
that
which
is
not
to
be
given
them
is
the
bread
of
life
,
which
is
holy
;
therefore
we
are
not
to
declare
the
Eternal
truth
unto
them
,
because
we
are
Children
,
lest
they
should
bite
us
.
6.
Neither
are
we
to
cast
these
precious
Pearls
of
Truth
before
Swine
,
lest
they
trample
them
under
foot
,
and
turn
again
and
rend
us
:
These
Swine
are
such
persecuting
Devils
,
as
will
not
only
despise
the
truth
(
as
dung
)
when
they
hear
of
it
,
but
they
will
also
seek
to
destroy
him
that
declareth
it
for
the
truths
sake
.
7.
But
truth
doth
fully
satisfie
all
those
that
do
receive
it
with
joy
,
and
continue
stedfast
in
it
,
and
it
doth
become
both
bread
and
water
of
life
in
them
;
Truth
is
the
bread
of
life
,
because
all
those
that
do
feed
thereon
will
hunger
no
more
after
the
forgiveness
of
their
sins
,
&
their
faith
will
be
made
so
strong
,
by
feeding
all
their
days
here
on
truth
,
which
is
Christ
,
that
they
will
be
able
hereafter
to
live
with
him
in
Glory
to
Eternity
.
8.
And
this
glorious
truth
is
also
the
water
of
life
in
believers
of
this
Commission
,
because
it
hath
purged
and
cleansed
their
hearts
from
all
manner
of
Idolatrous
Worship
,
or
Worshipping
of
Idols
,
or
unknown
Gods
,
and
it
keepeth
them
from
going
a
whoring
after
strange
Gods
,
because
they
are
well
acquainted
with
that
truth
which
declareth
unto
them
the
true
God
Christ
Jesus
,
who
only
they
worship
in
Spirit
and
Truth
.
9.
And
we
who
are
Believers
of
this
last
and
spiritual
Commission
are
to
declare
this
truth
plentifully
to
all
those
we
find
weary
and
heavy
laden
with
ignorance
,
who
yet
are
hungring
and
thirsting
after
true
knowledge
,
whereby
they
might
have
the
assurance
of
their
Salvation
perfected
in
this
life
.
To
such
we
are
to
declare
our
faith
with
soundness
of
speech
that
cannot
be
denied
,
that
those
who
are
against
it
may
be
ashamed
.

How
all
sober
men
are
to
labour
to
know
what
they
believe

that
they
may
lay
hold
on
the
good
Word
of
Prophesie
;
and
not
be
fed
up
with
Fancies
to
believe
in
that
which
no
man
can
discribe
what
it
is
,
or
where
it
is
.
1.
FUrthermore
,
let
all
sober
people
labour
and
strive
to
know
what
they
do
believe
,
that
they
may
be
able
to
give
a
substantial
Answer
to
all
wise
men
that
shall
enquire
of
them
what
their
faith
is
;
for
it
is
not
sufficient
to
say
as
the
ignorant
do
,
I
believe
in
God
,
or
I
believe
that
Christ
died
for
all
sinners
,
and
I
hope
to
have
the
same
benefit
by
his
death
as
others
have
.
2.
Such
like
words
a
Child
may
be
taught
before
he
knoweth
either
good
or
evil
,
and
most
Religious
peoples
Children
are
educated
up
in
such
a
Language
;
yet
their
Parents
know
not
what
nor
where
that
God
is
they
teach
their
Children
to
say
they
believe
in
.
3.
For
all
those
that
are
not
come
to
the
knowledge
of
that
truth
which
will
teach
them
to
know
what
the
true
God
is
,
though
they
are
accounted
wise
and
prudent
by
the
world
,
yet
they
know
not
what
the
object
of
their
faith
is
,
because
that
Infinite
Spirit
,
as
they
call
it
,
which
they
say
they
believe
in
,
hath
neither
body
,
form
,
or
substance
,
and
therefore
neither
to
be
seen
,
felt
,
nor
understood
.
4.
These
things
are
accounted
Wisdom
to
the
world
,
but
to
us
that
know
the
true
God
it
is
foolishness
.
And
there
are
none
that
can
come
to
know
what
the
true
God
is
,
and
what
that
true
worship
is
that
doth
belong
to
him
;
but
those
that
have
faith
to
believe
and
lay
hold
of
the
good
word
of
Prophesie
;
and
this
cannot
be
learned
by
Children
,
until
they
grow
up
to
maturity
of
years
,
for
they
must
have
good
understanding
before
they
are
capable
to
know
what
the
good
word
of
Prophesie
meaneth
,
which
is
the
glad
Tidings
of
Salvation
.
5.
There
can
be
no
true
comfort
in
uncertain
things
.
What
benefit
or
satisfaction
can
any
man
have
by
hearing
that
he
hath
an
estate
of
great
value
in
another
Country
,
but
it
is
neither
to
be
seen
nor
folt
,
neither
can
any
man
describe
what
substance
it
doth
contain
,
nor
where
it
is
.
6.
Yet
hundreds
will
be
justifying
that
there
is
such
an
Estate
that
doth
belong
to
him
;
but
I
do
say
again
,
what
benefit
can
a
man
expect
from
such
an
Estate
if
it
be
valued
at
10000
lib
.
a
year
,
being
it
is
a
shadow
and
not
a
substance
.
7.
Who
would
not
account
him
a
mad
man
or
a
fool
that
would
be
fed
up
with
such
fancies
of
men
,
to
believe
that
at
one
time
or
other
he
should
enjoy
great
happiness
and
comfort
by
that
Estate
which
folks
talk
so
much
of
,
though
the
wisest
of
them
that
talk
so
much
in
the
praise
of
it
,
are
not
able
to
declare
unto
him
the
substance
of
it
,
nor
in
what
Country
it
is
scituated
in
.
8.
Thus
it
is
with
such
men
that
do
believe
the
Report
of
those
men
who
call
themselves
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
when
they
declare
unto
the
people
,
and
speak
much
of
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
of
that
Glory
which
they
shall
enjoy
with
him
that
walk
uprightly
before
him
;
and
yet
they
tell
the
people
,
that
their
God
hath
neither
body
,
form
,
nor
substance
;
now
if
he
be
a
spiritual
substance
,
then
he
must
have
a
body
and
form
sutable
to
it
.
9.
Neither
can
or
do
they
tell
their
ignorant
Disciples
or
Believers
where
that
God
is
,
with
whom
they
must
enjoy
their
Glory
;
for
they
say
he
is
every
where
,
and
if
he
be
every
where
,
then
there
is
no
more
glory
to
be
received
with
God
,
then
we
already
enjoy
.
10.
Then
it
were
in
vain
for
Saints
to
believe
and
expect
glory
with
their
God
in
another
world
,
if
God
be
in
all
things
and
places
,
as
most
people
are
taught
to
believe
.
11.
Let
all
wise
,
sober
wise
men
consider
with
themselves
what
little
satisfaction
they
have
found
in
believing
in
that
unknown
God
.
And
what
satisfaction
can
any
man
have
in
believing
that
his
body
shall
be
raised
again
like
unto
the
glorious
body
of
God
,
and
yet
believe
that
God
hath
never
a
body
to
enjoy
his
own
glory
in
again
;
What
satisfaction
or
felicity
,
joy
or
comfort
can
any
man
expect
to
enjoy
in
,
or
with
that
God
in
another
world
,
who
hath
neither
body
nor
form
for
them
to
behold
.
12.
Again
,
why
are
the
Eyes
of
the
people
so
darkned
?
or
why
are
they
so
ignorant
to
think
or
believe
that
God
hath
neither
body
nor
form
?
Why
?
Because
it
is
now
as
it
was
in
the
former
true
Prophets
time
,
in
the
days
of
Isaiah
.
Isaiah
9.16
.
The
Teachers
cause
the
people
to
erre
,
and
they
that
are
taught
by
them
are
destroyed
.
13.
And
do
not
all
that
are
now
leaders
of
the
people
,
or
Teachers
of
Congregations
teach
the
people
to
believe
that
God
is
every
where
at
one
and
the
same
time
without
either
body
or
form
,
as
I
heard
Dr.
Jacomb
,
when
he
did
teach
at
that
place
called
St.
Martins
Ludgate
teach
his
Congregation
that
they
should
not
think
nor
believe
that
God
had
either
head
,
face
,
arms
or
shoulders
as
a
man
hath
.
14.
And
the
same
time
his
Text
was
,
God
made
man
in
his
own
Image
;
but
said
he
,
God
Created
man
in
righteousness
and
holiness
like
unto
himself
,
so
that
Mr.
Jacomb
would
have
holiness
and
righteousness
to
be
quite
out
of
form
,
neither
hath
his
God
ever
a
body
for
his
holiness
and
righteousness
to
dwell
in
,
but
what
he
is
beholding
to
his
Creatures
for
,
because
he
wanteth
a
spiritual
body
of
his
own
.
15.
Oh!
It
is
a
most
gross
Error
,
to
teach
the
people
to
believe
that
the
glorious
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
hath
neither
head
nor
face
.
Those
people
so
taught
and
so
believing
,
by
that
means
despise
the
true
God
,
who
hath
a
spiritual
Body
,
with
all
parts
like
a
man
in
Heaven
glorified
.
16.
I
say
,
these
people
will
be
destroyed
to
Eternity
;
for
he
that
teacheth
the
people
to
believe
that
God
hath
neither
head
nor
face
,
had
as
good
teach
them
to
believe
that
God
hath
neither
eyes
to
see
,
nor
ears
to
hear
,
nor
a
mouth
to
speak
withal
,
and
so
teach
them
to
believe
that
God
is
blind
,
deaf
and
dumb
,
and
so
bid
them
fall
to
the
Idolatrous
worshipping
of
Stocks
and
Stones
again
,
as
people
did
in
former
times
before
the
Gospel
was
preached
.
17.
But
where
the
Gospel
is
preached
,
and
the
truth
spread
abroad
,
and
where
the
true
God
is
made
known
,
the
worshipping
and
believing
in
such
a
God
as
hath
neither
body
nor
form
is
worse
and
more
Idolatrous
than
their
worshipping
of
graven
Images
was
in
former
times
,
before
the
true
God
was
declared
and
made
known
unto
us
.
But
now
he
is
declared
unto
all
who
have
eyes
to
see
,
and
ears
to
hear
,
and
none
but
those
that
have
true
faith
to
believe
in
him
shall
be
saved
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
In
Christ
is
comprehended
the
whole
Trinity
:
no
man
on
this
earth
can
prove
three
Persons
in
the
Trinity
.
1.
THat
God
who
will
save
all
them
that
believe
in
him
,
is
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
(
before
mentioned
)
who
is
both
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
in
one
single
person
glorified
:
And
that
personal
God
is
a
spiritual
body
in
form
like
a
man
,
and
in
that
blessed
body
of
Christ
is
comprehended
the
whole
Trinity
.
2.
The
life
of
that
blessed
body
is
the
Eternal
Father
and
Mighty
God
,
who
clothed
himself
with
flesh
and
bone
in
the
womb
of
the
Virgin
,
and
that
flesh
and
bone
is
the
Son
of
God
.
And
those
powerful
Words
which
were
Spirit
and
Life
,
that
proceeded
from
the
Father
within
,
through
the
mouth
of
the
the
Son
,
was
the
Holy
Ghost
:
So
it
is
plain
there
is
but
one
Person
though
three
Titles
in
the
Trinity
;
and
I
am
sure
there
is
not
a
man
in
the
world
who
is
able
to
prove
that
the
Father
,
the
Son
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
are
three
distinct
Persons
.
3.
All
that
teach
the
people
to
believe
in
three
Persons
,
may
say
as
Mr.
Walton
who
was
Minister
of
Naptot
in
Leicestershire
said
unto
me
in
Shasby
,
If
I
could
not
believe
that
there
were
three
Persons
and
but
one
God
,
he
could
not
prove
it
;
and
in
that
he
told
me
the
truth
.
4.
All
people
that
understand
what
a
Person
is
,
knoweth
that
that
word
Person
doth
signifie
a
body
,
and
all
bodies
,
both
spiritual
bodies
and
temporal
bodies
are
distinct
one
from
another
except
they
be
monsters
;
Therefore
if
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
be
three
distinct
P●●sons
,
and
every
one
of
them
have
the
Title
of
a
God
,
then
there
are
three
Gods
.
5.
Again
,
how
can
any
man
go
about
to
prove
three
Persons
in
the
Trinity
,
when
all
those
that
declare
that
Doctrine
deny
the
Father
to
be
in
a
spiritual
body
;
for
say
they
,
God
is
an
Incomprehensible
Spirit
in
all
things
,
and
in
all
places
at
one
and
the
same
time
.
6.
Secondly
,
they
deny
the
Holy
Ghost
to
be
a
body
;
but
say
they
,
the
Holy
Ghost
is
a
sanctifying
Spirit
which
proceedeth
both
from
Father
and
Son
;
so
there
they
lose
the
third
Person
.
7.
But
when
they
come
to
the
Son
,
then
the
say
,
Christ
was
born
of
the
Virgin
with
flesh
and
bone
;
so
that
all
Religious
persons
,
but
the
Quakers
,
will
own
Christ
to
have
a
body
now
in
Heaven
glorified
.
8.
And
the
wisest
man
living
cannot
find
any
other
Person
of
God
but
Christ
,
For
in
him
dwels
all
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
bodily
;
and
he
is
the
first
and
the
last
,
and
it
is
he
that
was
dead
and
is
alive
,
and
behold
he
liveth
for
evermore
.
9.
Again
,
it
is
plain
by
Scripture
that
God
is
but
in
one
place
at
once
,
for
,
he
came
into
the
Garden
in
the
cool
of
the
day
to
look
for
Adam
;
so
that
God
was
not
in
that
Garden
before
the
cool
of
the
day
;
for
it
s
said
,
then
he
came
into
the
Garden
,
and
said
,
Where
art
thou
,
Adam
?
and
Adam
could
not
have
had
a
thought
to
hide
himself
from
God
,
but
that
he
had
seen
God
with
his
eyes
,
and
knew
he
was
a
spiritual
body
in
form
like
himself
,
and
that
he
could
be
but
in
one
place
at
once
;
for
Adam
did
see
God
face
to
face
when
he
was
in
his
innocencie
.
10.
Furthermore
,
had
God
been
a
Spirit
without
a
Body
,
as
people
ignorantly
imagine
him
to
be
,
and
in
every
place
at
one
and
the
same
time
,
then
he
would
have
been
with
Adam
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
so
that
there
would
have
been
no
occasion
for
God
to
have
said
,
Where
art
thou
,
Adam
?
nor
for
Adam
to
have
said
,
I
heard
thy
voice
in
the
Garden
,
and
I
hid
my self
.
11.
Which
words
do
imply
,
that
God
was
not
always
in
the
Garden
with
Adam
,
yet
sometimes
he
was
there
,
but
when
he
was
there
,
he
was
not
all
over
the
Garden
at
once
,
much
less
then
is
he
in
all
places
and
in
all
things
in
the
world
at
all
times
.
12.
Secondly
,
it
is
written
,
God
put
Moses
into
a
Clift
of
the
Rock
,
whilest
he
passed
by
;
therefore
if
God
had
been
in
all
places
,
he
would
have
been
in
the
Clift
of
the
Rock
;
Also
then
he
could
not
have
passed
by
that
place
so
long
as
he
had
been
in
it
,
neither
can
he
be
said
to
pass
by
that
place
,
which
he
is
never
out
on
,
neither
was
he
in
that
place
at
that
time
he
passed
by
it
.
13.
Again
,
when
God
appeared
to
Moses
in
the
Bush
,
then
was
God
in
no
other
place
in
this
world
at
that
time
,
for
had
he
been
in
all
things
,
all
things
would
have
burned
as
the
Bush
did
,
and
where
ever
God
is
,
he
purifieth
that
place
,
and
maketh
it
holy
;
therefore
the
ground
on
which
Moses
stood
was
made
holy
ground
,
and
Moses
was
not
suffered
to
keep
his
shooes
on
his
feet
.
14.
Alwayes
where
God
is
that
place
is
holy
,
surely
no
man
dare
say
to
the
contrary
,
and
then
without
all
Controversie
,
if
God
be
every
where
,
and
in
all
things
in
this
world
,
then
all
things
and
all
places
must
be
holy
,
or
else
God
must
dwell
with
uncleanness
.
15.
Furthermore
,
as
sure
as
God
is
all
life
and
light
,
so
where
that
glorious
God
is
resident
,
there
is
neither
death
nor
darkness
:
And
seeing
both
death
and
darkness
reigneth
in
this
world
,
why
should
people
be
so
ignorant
to
believe
that
God
is
always
in
this
world
,
when
by
that
it
is
evident
that
he
is
not
here
at
all
.
16.
Object
.
But
then
some
may
say
unto
me
,
You
declare
that
Christ
was
the
Eternal
Father
and
Mighty
God
,
as
well
as
the
Son
,
Why
then
was
there
any
darkness
or
death
in
this
World
when
Christ
was
upon
the
Earth
?
18.
Answ
.
To
that
I
answer
.
Though
the
Creator
and
Eternal
Father
was
in
this
world
,
yet
his
glory
could
not
be
seen
,
because
he
had
clothed
himself
with
pure
mortality
,
wherewith
his
glory
was
Clouded
,
which
was
the
cause
darkness
took
its
course
.
And
because
the
Immortal
God
was
at
that
time
become
pure
mortality
himself
,
and
Eternity
become
time
,
therefore
did
he
suffer
death
,
to
seise
on
all
as
formerly
.
18.
There
would
have
been
no
need
of
any
Created
Light
,
if
God
had
decreed
to
have
lived
in
this
world
in
his
glory
.
But
as
the
glorious
Wisdom
of
God
moved
him
to
Create
this
world
,
so
likewise
did
his
Wisdom
move
him
to
create
such
glorious
Bodies
,
as
Sun
,
Moon
,
and
Stars
,
to
give
light
to
such
Creatures
,
as
afterwards
should
be
created
by
him
.
19.
God
did
decree
within
himself
to
live
in
that
Spiritual
Kingdom
of
uncreated
glory
,
above
or
beyond
the
Stars
,
which
place
of
Spiritual
glory
is
only
fit
for
such
a
Spiritual
glorious
Majesty
to
live
in
.
Again
,
when
Moses
was
in
the
Mount
then
God
was
there
,
and
no
where
else
,
therefore
the
Mount
smoaked
like
a
furnace
and
quaked
,
because
the
presence
of
the
Almighty
God
was
descended
upon
it
:
And
all
,
both
man
and
beast
that
did
go
within
the
bounds
that
Moses
had
set
to
touch
the
Mount
,
or
to
gaze
upon
it
whilest
the
presence
of
God
was
there
,
was
to
be
put
to
death
.
20.
And
Moses
was
to
sanctifie
the
people
,
and
they
were
to
wash
their
clothes
,
and
not
to
come
at
their
wives
,
but
to
be
ready
in
all
holiness
when
God
was
to
come
down
upon
the
Mount
:
And
the
Priests
who
were
to
come
near
the
Lord
,
were
to
sanctifie
themselves
,
yet
not
to
touch
the
Mount
whereon
God
was
descended
.
21.
But
now
adays
,
they
who
have
gathered
Congregations
,
and
are
Teachers
of
them
,
they
teach
the
people
to
believe
that
God
dwelleth
alwayes
with
them
,
though
they
are
filthy
and
unclean
,
and
so
they
make
God
the
Author
of
all
wickedness
,
because
they
believe
God
is
always
present
with
them
.
22.
I
know
what
is
written
in
the
139
Psalm
,
Whither
shall
I
go
from
thy
Spirit
,
or
whither
shall
I
fly
from
thy
presence
;
if
I
ascend
up
into
Heaven
,
thou
art
there
;
if
I
make
my
bed
in
Hell
,
behold
thou
art
there
,
if
I
take
the
wings
of
the
Morning
,
and
dwell
in
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
Sea
,
there
shall
thy
hands
lead
me
.
This
is
one
of
the
chiefest
places
people
have
to
uphold
them
in
that
belief
,
that
God
is
every
where
at
once
;
but
that
Text
hath
no
such
signification
in
it
.
23.
Those
words
of
David
doth
set
forth
to
all
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
that
God
by
his
power
can
find
us
out
wheresoever
we
are
,
and
he
hath
set
his
Watchman
to
watch
us
where
ever
we
go
;
and
God's
Watchman
is
the
Law
written
in
our
hearts
and
natures
which
will
accuse
us
where
ever
we
go
to
hide
our selves
from
God
.
24.
For
if
we
go
down
into
the
deep
waters
,
or
be
buried
in
the
bottom
of
the
Earth
,
the
power
of
God
is
there
,
God
can
command
the
Sea
,
Hell
,
or
the
Grave
to
give
up
those
they
keep
prisoners
there
:
And
in
that
respect
God
is
in
all
places
by
his
power
,
because
he
hath
power
to
command
all
places
to
deliver
up
man
unto
him
.
There
is
no
resisting
of
the
power
of
God
,
for
by
him
all
things
were
Created
,
and
when
his
glory
will
move
him
to
give
forth
the
word
of
Command
to
destroy
all
things
.
25.
Then
this
fair
Fabrick
of
the
World
will
become
desolate
of
all
its
beauty
,
and
become
a
Chaos
of
Confusion
,
and
then
if
God
were
in
all
things
,
would
he
destroy
part
of
himself
.
26.
So
that
it
is
plain
to
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
that
he
is
no
spiritual
wise
man
who
believeth
or
teacheth
others
to
believe
that
God
is
in
all
things
and
in
all
places
,
but
hath
not
a
spiritual
body
of
his
own
to
enjoy
his
glory
in
.
27.
Again
,
when
God
wrestled
with
Jacob
,
he
was
in
the
stature
and
form
of
a
man
.
Here
I
know
some
will
say
that
it
was
an
Angel
,
and
not
God
that
wrestled
with
Jacob
;
if
it
be
so
granted
that
it
was
an
Angel
,
then
it
must
be
granted
that
Angels
have
bodies
like
men
.
28.
The
body
of
the
Almighty
God
is
a
spiritual
body
,
in
form
like
the
holy
Angels
:
and
as
God
is
called
a
Spirit
,
so
are
the
Angels
called
Ministring
Spirits
;
but
neither
God
nor
the
holy
Angels
are
bodiless
Spirits
,
for
both
God
and
the
holy
Angels
have
spiritual
bodies
to
ascend
or
descend
in
at
their
pleasure
.
29.
And
as
sure
as
those
two
Angels
that
came
to
Lot
had
bodies
,
so
sure
have
all
the
Angels
in
Heaven
bodies
,
and
they
do
not
assume
to
themselves
bodies
at
certain
times
,
as
some
people
vainly
imagine
,
for
they
were
Created
with
spiritual
bodies
of
their
own
.
30.
And
God
created
man
in
his
own
Image
and
form
,
and
indeed
it
is
to
be
acknowledged
he
was
created
in
holiness
and
righteousness
,
yet
it
is
undeniably
known
that
holiness
and
righteousness
,
signifie
nothing
without
bodies
to
act
them
in
.
31.
Ever
since
the
Creation
of
the
World
,
God
hath
been
declared
to
be
in
the
form
of
man
by
all
his
Prophets
and
Apostles
.
In
all
appearances
hath
God
appeared
unto
man
in
the
form
of
man
.
And
God
when
he
was
manifested
in
flesh
and
dwelt
among
men
,
said
,
he
was
like
unto
man
in
all
things
,
sin
excepted
.
32.
It
is
written
Gen.
32.24
.
that
Jacob
was
left
alone
,
and
there
wrestled
a
man
with
him
until
the
break
of
the
day
,
ver
.
30.
And
he
said
I
have
seen
God
face
to
face
,
and
my
life
is
preserved
.
Now
how
could
Jacob
have
seen
the
face
of
God
,
if
God
had
not
a
face
to
be
seen
,
(
as
Mr.
Jacombe
taught
his
Congregation
he
had
not
.
)
33.
Also
it
is
written
,
God
spake
to
Moses
mouth
to
mouth
,
as
a
man
speaketh
to
his
friend
:
Could
God
have
a
mouth
without
head
or
face
?
Surely
no
,
only
blind
and
unclean
Reason
doth
imagine
that
God
is
a
formless
Spirit
.
34.
True
it
is
,
that
Reasons
God
is
without
form
,
for
that
God
which
hath
neither
head
nor
face
,
nor
any
other
parts
,
is
a
formless
thing
indeed
.
But
our
God
is
a
God
in
form
,
he
was
a
spiritual
person
in
the
form
of
a
man
from
all
Eternity
.
35.
After
he
became
a
Child
of
flesh
,
blood
,
and
bone
in
the
womb
of
the
Virgin-wise
Mary
,
and
was
born
and
brought
forth
into
this
world
,
he
grew
up
in
stature
to
be
a
pure
man
in
mortality
,
then
could
both
Saints
and
Devils
behold
his
blessed
face
and
live
,
because
he
was
then
in
the
state
of
Mortality
,
yet
without
sin
.
36.
But
when
God
was
upon
this
earth
that
all
might
see
him
and
his
wonderful
works
,
yet
we
read
in
Scripture
how
few
believed
in
him
,
none
but
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
the
Seed
of
God
in
the
Generation
of
Adam
,
there
were
none
else
that
could
believe
that
Jesus
was
the
Son
of
God
.
37.
The
Seed
of
Reason
,
that
is
,
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
in
the
Generation
of
cursed
Cain
did
despise
him
,
and
call
him
Blasphemer
,
and
at
last
they
put
him
to
death
.
38.
Therefore
let
not
us
wonder
there
are
so
few
that
can
believe
that
that
Jesus
is
now
both
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
in
one
single
Person
in
Heaven
glorified
.
39.
Again
,
when
the
three
Children
were
preserved
in
the
fiery
furnace
,
one
like
the
Son
of
Man
was
seen
to
walk
there
.
So
John
the
Divine
in
a
Vision
saw
one
like
the
Son
of
Man
to
lay
his
hand
on
him
.
So
it
is
clear
to
all
the
Seed
of
Faith
,
that
God
and
his
Angels
always
appeared
like
men
,
whether
it
was
in
Vision
Dream
,
Revelation
,
or
to
the
fight
of
the
natural
Eye
.
40.
Therefore
why
should
men
be
so
ignorant
to
think
or
believe
that
God
hath
no
parts
or
passion
at
all
?
But
the
Reason
why
all
people
cannot
believe
the
truth
is
,
because
there
is
two
Seeds
and
Generation
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
that
is
,
the
Seed
of
the
woman
,
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
.
41.
These
two
Seeds
have
brought
forth
two
Generations
:
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
is
the
Generation
of
Adam
,
of
which
was
the
blessed
Seth
,
who
called
upon
the
Name
of
the
Lord
;
and
Seth
was
given
to
Adam
in
the
room
of
righteous
Abel
whom
Cain
slew
,
and
the
Offspring
or
Generation
of
Seth
are
they
that
believe
,
understand
,
know
,
and
see
by
the
eye
of
faith
in
this
World
,
that
the
glorious
body
of
God
is
in
the
form
of
man
in
Heaven
,
where
they
will
behold
him
face
to
face
in
glory
,
after
they
have
passed
from
death
to
eternal
life
.
42.
And
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
are
the
Generation
of
cursed
Cain
;
for
the
Serpent
was
that
unclean
Angel
who
was
cast
out
of
Heaven
,
and
it
was
he
that
was
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
of
Good
and
Evil
;
and
it
was
of
that
Tree
which
Eve
did
eat
,
and
her
eating
was
believing
his
Godlike
words
,
wherewith
he
perswaded
her
that
they
should
be
as
Gods
knowing
Good
and
Evil
,
if
she
would
but
adhere
to
him
,
and
yield
to
his
desire
,
which
she
did
.
43.
Thus
came
sin
into
the
World
,
and
death
by
sin
(
which
the
Apostle
hints
at
,
)
Eve
yielding
unto
the
Temptations
of
the
said
fallen
Angel
,
for
none
knew
Good
or
Evil
but
he
,
she
not
knowing
what
the
issue
of
it
would
be
,
immediately
he
pierced
into
or
through
her
secret
parts
into
her
womb
,
dissolved
himself
into
Seed
and
nature
,
which
Seed
quickned
again
into
mortal
life
in
the
womb
of
Eve
.
44.
So
the
Devil
clothed
himself
in
the
Womb
of
Eve
,
and
she
brought
forth
her
first-born
Son
of
the
devil
,
though
she
said
,
She
had
gotten
him
from
the
Lord
;
and
he
was
the
very
Devil
himself
,
and
his
name
was
called
Cain
,
according
to
his
nature
,
Cursed
:
And
this
Cain
begat
Sons
and
Daughters
,
of
whose
Generation
are
the
greatest
part
of
the
people
in
the
World
.
45.
And
as
their
Father
the
Devil
(
who
was
a
Deceiver
,
Lyar
,
and
a
Murtherer
from
the
beginning
)
did
lose
his
glory
by
rebelling
against
his
Creator
when
he
was
in
Heaven
,
so
likewise
he
lost
the
knowledge
of
himself
by
dissolving
himself
into
Seed
in
the
Womb
of
Eve
,
as
aforesaid
.
46.
After
he
was
born
into
this
World
he
could
never
attain
to
the
knowledg
of
God
or
himself
any
more
;
nor
is
there
any
of
his
Seed
that
shall
ever
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
true
God
,
or
their
own
natures
,
only
they
may
call
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
say
as
the
Generations
of
the
same
Seed
before
them
have
done
,
Have
not
we
Abraham
to
our
Father
,
&c.
47.
This
Seed
and
Generation
of
men
will
never
behold
the
face
of
that
glorious
God
,
who
they
have
denied
to
have
a
face
of
his
own
,
neither
(
as
I
said
before
)
can
they
attain
to
the
knowledge
to
know
what
themselves
are
,
so
long
as
they
live
in
this
World
.
48.
But
as
for
the
Children
who
are
of
the
Serpents
Seed
,
and
yet
die
in
their
Infancie
,
they
will
be
raised
up
to
the
same
state
of
glory
as
that
Serpent-Tree
of
Knowledge
of
Good
and
Evil
was
in
before
his
Fall
,
for
God
is
just
,
and
he
will
not
punish
any
Child
with
everlasting
punishment
for
the
sins
of
the
Parents
.
49.
All
those
that
are
appointed
to
everlasting
Destruction
are
likewise
appointed
to
live
to
the
years
of
maturity
in
this
life
,
that
they
may
fight
against
God
,
by
opposing
his
Truth
declared
by
his
Messengers
,
that
they
may
be
damned
for
their
own
wickedness
and
unbelief
.
50.
Though
it
is
written
,
Jacob
have
I
loved
,
and
Esau
have
I
hated
before
that
they
had
done
either
good
or
evil
;
yet
we
are
to
mind
that
they
were
appointed
to
live
to
the
years
of
maturity
to
fulfil
the
Decree
of
God
;
and
they
could
not
die
in
their
Infancie
,
because
God
had
likewise
said
,
in
Rebecca's
womb
was
two
Nations
;
therefore
they
were
to
live
to
be
men
,
that
there
might
come
two
great
Nations
out
of
their
loyns
,
to
fulfil
Gods
decree
in
those
words
.
CHAP.

God
is
not
in
this
world
at
all
,
but
at
such
times
as
his
Glory
moveth
him
,
to
come
down
for
a
time
:
neither
doth
God
dwell
in
this
world
any
other
way
,
but
in
the
hearts
of
his
Saints
by
Faith
.
There
is
no
Salvation
for
those
that
refuse
Christ
to
be
their
God
.
1.
IT
is
written
,
Gen.
Chap.
35.
ver
.
1.
Jacob
was
commanded
to
make
an
Altar
unto
that
God
who
appeared
to
him
when
he
parted
from
his
Brother
Esau
,
ver
.
9.
God
appeared
to
Jacob
again
,
ver
.
11.
God
appeared
to
Jacob
again
,
ver
.
11.
God
told
Jacob
plainly
,
that
he
was
God
Almighty
,
and
bid
him
be
fruitful
and
multiply
.
Ver
.
13.
God
went
up
from
the
place
where
he
talked
with
him
.
So
that
it
plainly
appears
by
Scripture
,
that
it
was
God
that
appeared
to
Jacob
,
and
God
was
then
in
a
body
,
and
distinct
from
all
things
.
2.
After
this
God
went
up
into
glory
again
,
his
Wisdom
having
moved
him
to
leave
that
place
for
a
time
,
until
he
was
pleased
to
come
down
again
to
talk
with
Jacob
,
as
he
did
to
several
other
men
,
whom
he
loved
.
3.
That
Melchisedech
King
of
Salem
,
who
met
Abram
in
the
way
,
and
brought
bread
and
wine
unto
him
,
was
God
himself
,
and
then
he
was
in
the
person
of
a
man
.
4.
Again
,
God
talked
with
Abram
in
the
ninetieth
year
of
his
age
,
and
said
to
him
(
as
he
did
to
Jacob
)
I
am
God
Almighty
;
then
Abram
fell
on
his
face
before
God
;
and
then
God
changed
Abrams
name
to
Abraham
,
as
you
may
read
Gen.
17.
5.
Also
it
is
said
,
there
came
three
Angels
unto
Abraham
,
and
Abraham
caused
them
to
come
to
him
under
a
Tree
,
and
washed
their
feet
,
and
gave
them
meat
;
one
of
them
was
God
,
and
that
was
he
whom
Abraham
treated
so
much
with
for
Sodom
;
and
the
two
Angels
went
to
Sodom
,
and
they
were
in
the
forms
of
men
,
and
taken
for
men
.
6.
In
several
other
places
in
Holy
Writ
,
God
is
said
to
come
down
from
Heaven
;
and
in
some
places
,
God
is
said
to
look
down
from
Heaven
;
so
that
all
who
have
any
faith
in
the
Scriptures
,
or
are
not
blind
with
ignorance
,
may
know
that
God
is
not
in
the
World
at
all
,
but
at
such
time
as
his
glorious
Wisdom
moveth
him
to
leave
his
Throne
for
a
moment
,
or
small
space
of
time
to
come
down
and
talk
with
his
Creatures
.
7.
As
he
did
to
Abraham
,
Jacob
,
Moses
,
and
such
like
men
,
and
then
to
ascend
to
his
Throne
of
glory
again
;
therefore
how
can
any
wise
sober
man
imagine
or
think
that
God
is
alwayes
in
this
World
,
and
in
all
things
,
when
by
the
Holy
Scriptures
it
is
proved
to
the
contrary
.
8.
Object
.
But
I
know
many
people
will
Object
,
and
say
,
How
can
this
be
true
,
that
so
many
men
have
seen
the
face
of
God
,
when
it
is
written
,
that
no
man
can
see
the
face
of
God
and
live
.
9.
Answ
.
When
the
glorious
Wisdom
of
God
moved
him
to
leave
his
Heavenly
Throne
and
come
down
into
this
World
and
speak
to
his
Creatures
on
this
Earth
,
then
God
did
leave
his
bright
burning
glory
behind
him
,
or
else
cover
it
with
a
vail
,
whereby
man
might
be
able
to
behold
his
face
and
live
.
10.
When
God
said
,
No
man
could
see
his
face
and
live
,
then
was
he
in
his
Kingdom
of
glory
;
and
true
it
is
,
that
no
man
in
Mortality
can
behold
the
bright
burning
glorious
face
of
God
in
his
glory
&
live
;
for
if
the
eye
of
man
be
not
able
to
look
upon
the
Created
Sun
when
it
shineth
in
its
strength
,
much
less
is
he
able
to
look
upon
the
Creator
when
he
sitteth
on
the
Throne
of
Heaven
,
where
his
face
shineth
ten
times
brighter
than
the
Created
Sun
in
its
strength
;
and
this
I
think
,
that
there
is
no
man
who
doth
own
there
is
a
God
,
dareth
to
deny
.
11.
Then
how
can
they
believe
that
God
is
at
all
times
in
this
World
,
seeing
that
when
the
created
Sun
is
gone
down
there
is
present
darkness
all
over
this
part
of
the
world
,
but
where
the
Creator
is
,
there
is
no
need
of
the
created
Sun
to
give
light
.
12.
The
light
of
that
Sun
is
no
more
to
the
light
of
God
himself
,
than
the
light
of
a
Candle
is
to
the
Sun
;
therefore
it
is
plain
,
God
dwelleth
in
this
World
no
otherwise
than
in
the
hearts
of
his
Saints
by
Faith
.
13.
Furthermore
,
I
would
not
have
any
of
the
seed
of
Faith
to
be
so
ignorant
,
as
to
think
or
believe
that
God
is
so
large
in
person
to
sit
upon
his
Throne
in
Heaven
,
and
at
the
same
time
to
touch
this
Earth
with
his
foot
,
though
it
is
written
,
Heaven
is
my
Throne
,
and
the
Earth
is
my
footstool
.
14.
For
there
is
Spiritual
Earth
in
the
Kingdom
of
glory
for
our
blessed
God
to
set
his
Divine
feet
upon
,
yet
this
earth
is
counted
with
God
to
be
as
his
footstool
in
this
respect
,
because
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
above
doth
so
much
exceed
this
world
in
glory
,
that
this
earth
or
world
with
all
its
beauty
,
wherein
there
is
so
many
Thrones
for
Kings
and
Emperours
to
sit
on
,
yet
all
their
Thrones
and
the
glory
belonging
to
them
are
but
as
a
footstool
,
in
comparison
to
that
glorious
Throne
whereon
our
blessed
God
Christ
Jesus
sitteth
in
another
world
above
or
beyond
the
Stars
.
15.
But
I
know
,
when
these
sayings
of
mine
are
spread
abroad
in
the
World
,
most
people
will
be
filled
with
envy
against
them
,
and
contradict
them
with
Blasphemy
,
as
the
Jews
did
the
preaching
of
St.
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
Act.
13.45
.
16.
For
now
adays
the
generality
of
people
can
no
more
endure
to
hear
Christ
declared
to
be
the
Almighty
God
,
and
Everlasting
Father
,
according
to
the
Prophesie
of
Isaiah
9.6
.
than
the
Jews
could
endure
to
hear
Jesus
to
be
declared
to
be
the
Son
of
God
and
Saviour
of
the
World
.
17.
Therefore
as
sure
as
there
was
no
Salvation
for
those
that
did
despise
Jesus
,
and
refused
him
to
be
their
God
and
Saviour
when
he
was
upon
the
Earth
according
as
he
was
declared
to
be
by
his
Apostle
,
so
sure
it
is
now
,
there
is
no
Salvation
for
them
that
do
despise
the
blessed
Body
of
Christ
Jesus
in
Heaven
glorified
,
refusing
him
to
be
their
God
,
who
hath
a
Spiritual
body
,
to
enjoy
his
glory
in
,
or
chuse
to
themselves
a
bodiless
God
without
form
or
substance
to
rule
over
them
contrary
to
the
Declaration
of
the
last
true
Prophets
or
Messengers
of
God
.
18.
Therefore
there
is
none
who
hath
either
heard
their
Declaration
,
or
read
their
Writings
that
can
plead
ignorance
,
and
say
,
they
never
heard
plainly
what
the
true
God
was
,
or
is
;
but
there
are
many
thousands
who
may
plead
that
they
wanted
saith
to
believe
in
that
God
which
is
but
in
one
place
at
once
,
and
I
am
sure
all
those
that
want
faith
to
believe
in
that
God
in
this
World
,
will
want
glory
in
Heaven
hereafter
.
CHAP.

.
The
Soul
of
Man
is
Generated
with
its
Body
,
therefore
it
liveth
and
dieth
with
the
Body
,
and
is
never
parted
from
it
.
1.
IT
is
generally
believed
,
that
the
cause
of
a
mans
dying
is
,
because
the
Soul
departeth
from
the
body
,
but
that
is
only
Imagination
,
for
the
Soul
of
man
can
live
no
longer
without
his
body
,
than
the
body
can
without
the
Soul
.
2.
For
the
Soul
of
a
man
cometh
out
of
the
loyns
of
a
man
as
well
as
the
body
,
as
it
is
written
—
out
of
Jacobs
loyns
came
threescore
and
sixteen
Souls
;
and
the
Soul
doth
secretly
lie
hid
in
the
Seed
,
like
a
spark
of
invisible
fire
,
and
that
is
the
life
of
the
Seed
.
3.
God
hath
placed
Seed
in
man
to
cause
it
to
spring
forth
of
his
loyns
therefore
did
he
bid
them
,
Adam
and
Eve
,
Increase
〈…〉
,
which
was
to
replenish
the
earth
;
〈…〉
hath
every
see
I
brought
forth
its
ow●
〈…〉
●ording
as
God
had
decreed
they
should
,
〈…〉
●mmediate
help
from
him
.
4.
For
God
did
decree
before
he
made
a
We
man
,
that
the
Seed
of
man
being
sown
in
the
womb
of
a
woman
should
there
d●●
and
quicken
again
by
the
power
of
his
Creative
word
,
when
he
bid
them
increase
and
multiply
.
5.
As
God
said
,
Let
there
be
light
,
and
let
there
be
a
Firmament
,
and
it
was
so
:
and
let
the
waters
be
gathered
into
one
place
,
and
they
were
so
;
and
do
so
continue
by
the
power
of
that
word
which
commanded
them
so
to
appear
.
6.
So
doth
every
Seed
bring
forth
its
own
body
,
whether
it
be
man
or
beast
,
according
to
the
time
of
life
which
God
appointed
at
the
first
without
any
more
additional
help
from
him
.
7.
Let
it
not
be
thought
by
any
,
that
God
doth
infuse
a
Soul
into
a
Child
after
the
man
hath
given
his
Seed
to
the
woman
(
this
would
make
him
a
partaker
with
the
Adulterers
)
but
the
Soul
which
is
the
life
of
the
Seed
(
as
aforesaid
)
dieth
in
the
womb
,
and
quickneth
again
in
the
Womb
of
the
woman
,
as
the
wheatcorn
or
other
grain
dieth
,
and
quickeneth
again
in
the
womb
of
the
earth
.
8.
At
the
first
when
God
created
Adam
,
he
did
breath
into
his
Nostrils
the
breath
of
life
;
and
that
breath
of
life
became
a
living
Soul
in
Adam
;
and
that
living
Soul
brought
forth
seed
;
and
that
Seed
according
to
the
Prerogative
power
of
God
hath
brought
forth
its
own
likeness
ever
since
.
9.
And
as
the
Soul
is
granted
by
most
people
to
be
the
life
of
the
body
when
it
is
born
into
this
World
,
so
of
necessity
it
must
be
the
life
of
the
Seed
,
or
else
the
seed
of
man
could
not
bring
forth
a
body
for
want
of
life
,
any
more
then
the
wheat-corn
can
bring
forth
a
body
if
the
flower
which
is
the
Soul
or
life
of
the
Corn
be
taken
out
,
and
the
husk
only
flung
into
the
earth
.
10.
Therefore
it
is
plain
that
the
Soul
is
the
life
of
the
Seed
,
and
that
it
is
conceived
in
the
womb
by
Generation
with
the
body
,
and
it
is
born
into
the
world
with
the
body
,
so
it
lives
and
dies
with
it
,
and
must
lie
in
the
earth
with
the
body
,
and
both
raised
together
.
11.
Then
shall
they
enter
either
into
Everlasting
joy
or
torment
;
for
as
the
body
and
Soul
had
their
beginning
together
in
time
,
and
lived
together
and
sinned
together
,
so
shall
they
begin
their
Eternal
joy
or
torment
together
,
these
have
God
joyned
together
,
and
will
never
put
them
asunder
;
it
is
impossible
for
the
Soul
and
body
to
part
,
because
God
hath
decreed
it
to
the
contrary
.
12.
The
Believers
of
the
said
Commissioners
of
the
Spirit
,
their
Declaration
or
Testimony
,
they
being
the
aforementioned
Messengers
or
Witnesses
of
the
Most
High
God
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
concerning
the
Eternal
Condition
of
all
men
,
they
do
yeeld
to
the
death
of
their
Souls
with
their
bodies
,
and
do
believe
with
the
full
assurance
of
faith
that
they
shall
both
be
raised
again
together
at
the
last
day
,
and
in
the
mean
time
their
lives
are
hid
with
Christ
in
God
.
CHAP.
XVI
.
There
are
several
Degrees
of
Knowledge
,
but
no
degree
able
to
give
true
Rest
to
the
mind
,
until
a
man
can
believe
the
true
Messengers
of
God
.
1.
IT
is
generally
seen
and
known
,
that
there
are
several
degrees
of
knowledge
in
temporal
things
,
as
in
all
Arts
and
Sciences
,
they
that
are
ingenious
do
well
mind
those
that
are
accounted
good
Workmen
or
cunning
Artificers
,
whereby
they
grow
up
from
one
degree
of
Knowledge
to
another
,
until
such
time
that
they
have
attained
to
that
degree
of
knowledge
which
they
aimed
at
,
and
which
they
had
so
long
laboured
to
finish
,
and
then
they
are
at
rest
.
2.
But
if
they
can
never
find
out
,
or
attain
to
that
Mystery
they
did
so
long
seek
after
,
then
are
they
always
dissatisfied
,
and
die
in
ignorance
of
what
they
desired
to
know
.
3.
And
as
there
are
several
degrees
of
knowledge
in
Temporal
things
so
are
there
several
degrees
of
knowledge
in
spiritual
things
,
therefore
do
all
men
that
are
naturally
given
to
seek
after
God
,
especially
those
of
the
Jewish
nature
,
they
take
great
notice
of
the
preaching
of
men
,
which
way
they
teach
men
to
worship
God
.
4.
Then
they
enter
into
Church-fellowship
with
some
of
them
,
and
stay
there
awhile
,
and
see
nothing
but
vanity
there
,
then
they
enter
into
another
,
where
they
see
a
little
more
light
,
and
there
they
stay
awhile
.
5.
As
their
knowledge
increaseth
,
so
still
they
get
out
of
one
Church
fellowship
into
another
,
and
so
from
one
degree
of
knowledge
to
another
,
and
still
into
the
greater
light
,
thinking
to
find
peace
and
comfort
there
,
but
can
find
none
.
6.
Thus
have
many
run
through
all
or
most
of
the
Church
fellowships
in
England
,
and
at
last
could
finde
no
true
peace
,
because
in
all
this
their
Travel
they
could
not
attain
to
the
thing
they
aimed
at
,
which
is
the
assurance
of
their
Salvation
.
7.
The
Reason
why
in
all
this
their
seeking
and
travelling
up
and
down
from
one
Church
to
another
,
they
could
not
attain
to
the
assurance
of
their
Salvation
is
,
because
there
is
no
assurance
to
be
had
in
any
Spiritual
Appearance
where
the
Minister
thereof
is
not
sent
of
God
,
therefore
it
is
written
,
That
many
shall
say
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
have
we
not
prayed
and
preached
in
thy
name
,
and
cast
out
Devils
in
thy
name
,
and
such
like
;
yet
God
will
charge
it
upon
them
to
be
workers
of
iniquity
.
8.
There
is
not
now
a
Minister
in
the
World
that
dare
own
himself
to
be
immediately
sent
of
God
to
declare
his
mind
unto
the
world
,
but
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
only
.
9.
All
they
who
can
truly
own
them
and
their
Doctrine
to
be
true
,
will
quickly
see
and
be
satisfied
with
the
assurance
of
their
Salvation
perfected
,
then
they
will
be
at
rest
when
they
know
what
,
and
where
their
God
is
;
and
there
is
no
other
way
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
but
by
believing
the
Report
of
the
Lords
last
Witnesses
or
Prophets
which
are
his
only
Ministers
now
in
this
world
.
10.
Therefore
as
soon
as
a
man
can
set
to
his
Seal
that
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
were
truly
sent
forth
of
God
,
and
that
their
Doctrine
is
true
also
,
then
can
he
clearly
see
that
his
whole
work
of
looking
after
God
is
finished
.
11.
Then
will
he
say
,
that
he
hath
found
that
God
to
his
comfort
,
who
in
,
and
by
believing
his
true
Prophets
hath
given
him
peace
of
minde
,
and
the
full
assurance
of
faith
,
that
after
death
he
will
raise
him
up
to
everlasting
life
,
where
he
shall
never
lose
him
more
.
12.
This
I
can
witness
in
my self
,
and
so
can
many
more
besides
me
,
blessed
for
ever
be
the
name
of
Christ
Jesus
,
the
only
and
alone
wise
God
for
revealing
himself
and
his
mind
so
clearly
unto
us
by
his
last
Messengers
.

Truth
is
a
Pearl
of
great
price
,
therefore
a
man
must
part
with
all
to
purchase
it
;
And
those
only
that
hold
out
in
their
Faith
to
their
lives
end
shall
be
saved
;
but
for
those
that
fall
back

1.
THe
Doctrine
or
Declaration
of
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
is
a
Pearl
of
such
great
price
,
(
this
by
experience
I
also
know
)
that
no
man
can
purchase
it
without
he
parteth
with
all
he
hath
,
that
is
,
without
he
parteth
with
all
his
former
Righteousness
wherewith
he
used
to
worship
his
Unknown
God
in
outward
Ordinances
,
lifting
up
his
eyes
and
his
hands
in
long
Prayers
,
Pharisee-like
,
to
be
seen
of
men
.
2.
I
say
,
all
these
(
which
were
complained
of
in
the
times
both
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
and
by
Christ
himself
)
were
beggarly
Elements
,
and
must
be
parted
from
,
though
they
are
esteemed
of
great
value
by
the
world
.
3.
They
that
will
imbrace
Truth
must
be
stripped
,
and
left
naked
and
bare
;
for
God
will
not
accept
of
any
man
so
long
as
he
clotheth
himself
with
Ceremonies
,
which
are
as
filthy
rags
in
the
sight
of
God
,
for
so
doth
the
World
ignorantly
worship
their
unknown
bodiless
God
.
4.
They
who
are
willing
to
worship
the
true
God
,
who
was
,
and
ever
will
be
a
Spiritual
Body
in
Heaven
glorified
,
they
are
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
●ruth
.
5.
The
Lord
now
is
not
to
be
seen
with
mortal
eyes
,
all
men
must
now
venture
their
Eternal
happiness
,
or
else
they
will
never
be
at
peace
,
because
there
is
no
other
way
to
please
God
but
wholly
to
rely
upon
the
words
of
his
said
Prophets
.
6.
Therefore
woe
unto
all
those
that
have
already
,
or
hereafter
shall
taste
of
the
good
word
of
God
delivered
by
them
and
afterwards
fall
back
from
it
.
7.
It
is
now
as
it
was
when
Christ
was
upon
the
Earth
,
then
,
said
he
,
Except
you
can
believe
that
I
am
he
,
you
shall
die
in
your
sins
,
Joh
.
8.24
.
in
which
words
he
told
them
,
that
he
was
the
Saviour
of
the
World
,
but
they
understood
him
not
.
8.
The
generality
of
people
did
rather
chuse
,
(
which
was
a
most
sad
choice
)
to
die
in
their
sins
,
than
to
believe
that
Jesus
,
the
supposed
Son
of
Joseph
,
was
the
Son
of
God
,
for
all
they
saw
him
and
heard
his
words
,
and
of
such
wonderful
Works
and
Miracles
as
he
did
and
wrought
amongst
them
;
whereby
it
appears
p●ainly
,
that
Signes
and
Wonders
are
for
unbelievers
.
9.
N●●withstanding
what
was
said
by
our
blessed
Saviour
when
he
was
on
〈◇〉
,
That
a
worked
and
adult●rous
Generat●on
looketh
〈…〉
Signs
,
yet
in
these
our
dayes
people
cry
out
for
Signes
,
and
Miracles
;
but
as
Christ
said
to
them
,
Joh
.
15.
●
If
he
had
not
come
and
spoken
to
them
,
they
had
not
had
sin
,
but
then
they
no
Cloak
for
their
sin
.
10.
So
likewise
now
in
this
our
age
,
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
have
appeared
,
of
whom
one
of
them
is
liliving
in
this
present
year
1673.
and
they
have
plainly
told
the
people
that
they
were
sent
forth
by
the
Command
of
God
to
declare
his
mind
unto
the
World
,
whereby
they
might
believe
in
the
true
God
,
and
be
saved
,
therefore
they
are
left
without
excuse
.
11.
Yet
the
generality
of
people
(
as
the
generations
before
them
)
do
rather
chuse
to
die
in
their
sins
,
than
to
believe
that
John
Reeve
and
Lodowick
Muggleton
should
be
the
Teachers
of
the
whole
World
:
here
it
is
to
be
minded
,
that
they
who
never
heard
of
them
nor
their
Doctrine
are
free
from
Rebellion
.
12.
But
all
they
who
have
talked
with
them
,
or
have
read
their
Writings
,
or
have
discoursed
with
any
of
the
Believers
of
them
about
the
Truths
by
them
delivered
,
they
have
no
Cloak
for
their
sin
,
if
they
do
rebel
against
that
Truth
declared
by
and
from
them
.
13.
Therefore
let
every
one
who
hath
tasted
the
sweetness
,
comfort
and
satisfaction
of
mind
in
the
receiving
and
believing
of
these
precious
Truths
,
take
heed
unto
themselves
that
they
slide
not
back
,
for
they
only
who
keep
their
confidence
in
Obedience
to
the
Truth
,
and
hold
out
to
the
end
of
their
lives
shall
be
saved
.
14.
For
all
those
that
sin
wilfully
after
they
have
received
the
Truth
in
the
knowledge
and
love
thereof
,
there
remaineth
no
more
Sacrifice
for
that
Sin
,
Heb
.
10.26
.
You
may
read
at
large
in
that
Chapter
what
manner
of
sin
that
was
for
which
there
was
to
be
no
Sacrifice
.
15.
It
will
be
found
to
be
the
sin
of
falling
away
from
that
Truth
which
they
once
received
and
rejoyced
in
,
for
saith
the
Apostle
,
If
they
who
despised
Moses
Law
were
to
die
without
mercy
,
how
much
more
or
sorer
punishment
,
suppose
ye
,
shall
be
thought
worthy
for
those
that
account
the
Blood
of
the
Covenant
wherewith
they
were
Sanctified
an
unholy
thing
.
16.
It
is
the
same
thing
now
in
the
time
of
the
Commission
of
the
Spirit
(
how
lightly
soever
people
make
of
it
)
who
ever
they
be
,
that
do
enter
themselves
as
Believers
,
and
doth
rejoyce
therein
for
a
time
,
and
confesseth
that
he
seeth
his
Salvation
perfected
by
believing
the
said
Prophets
Report
,
and
yet
for
all
this
,
fall
back
,
and
withdraw
their
love
from
it
,
as
some
lately
have
done
,
great
will
be
their
punishment
.
17.
And
the
dayes
we
now
live
in
may
be
compared
to
the
days
wherein
David
lived
,
for
hath
not
the
Lord
shewed
us
strange
things
,
and
made
us
drink
the
wine
of
astonishment
.
18.
In
that
God
hath
been
pleased
to
declare
himself
unto
us
by
the
mouths
of
his
last
true
Messengers
,
and
some
who
received
their
Message
and
Declarations
with
much
seeming
comfort
and
satisfaction
,
and
thereby
procured
great
acquaintance
with
the
Prophet
now
alive
,
and
had
words
(
as
David
expresseth
it
)
as
smooth
as
butter
,
and
softer
than
Oyl
,
yet
have
they
magnified
themselves
with
reproaches
for
his
love
in
declaring
the
mind
of
God
to
them
.
19.
Had
he
known
that
there
had
been
War
in
their
hearts
he
would
have
hid
it
from
them
;
notwithstanding
the
Discovery
they
have
made
of
their
own
natures
,
it
is
in
vain
for
them
to
fight
with
him
who
is
too
powerful
for
them
.
If
they
shall
continue
to
shoot
their
Arrows
(
bitter
words
)
against
him
,
they
will
return
to
their
own
destruction
.
20.
And
again
by
the
Prophets
affirming
some
Assertions
to
be
true
,
wherein
were
some
sayings
hard
to
be
born
from
pride
and
passion
he
hath
been
called
by
some
a
Devil
to
his
face
,
and
disowning
him
to
be
any
longer
their
teacher
.
21.
Thus
have
they
exalted
themselves
above
him
,
imagining
in
themselves
that
they
were
wiser
and
knew
more
then
he
did
from
whom
they
had
received
all
their
knowledge
;
and
thus
did
their
aspiring
thoughts
exalt
themselves
above
their
Teacher
,
just
as
the
Serpent-Angel
,
of
whose
seed
they
are
,
did
exalt
himself
above
his
Creator
.
22.
And
as
the
Creator
of
all
things
that
were
Created
flung
that
Angel
down
from
Heaven
for
his
pride
and
presumption
,
and
took
his
power
from
him
,
so
that
he
can
never
ascend
up
again
.
23.
So
likewise
hath
the
Lords
Messengers
flung
those
men
out
of
Heaven
,
and
taken
away
their
power
,
that
is
,
he
hath
flung
them
out
of
all
Heavenly
peace
.
He
that
is
at
peace
with
God
in
this
life
may
be
said
to
be
in
Heaven
,
though
upon
earth
.
24.
Besides
,
he
hath
taken
the
power
from
them
,
for
now
they
have
no
power
to
bring
any
one
into
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
nor
to
defend
their
own
Faith
.
25.
Whatsoever
Believers
do
upon
this
account
,
they
must
do
it
by
vertue
of
that
power
which
they
believe
the
Commissioner
hath
,
but
one
of
them
said
,
that
he
valued
the
Prophets
power
no
more
than
a
Childes
of
a
day
old
;
in
so
saying
they
condemn
their
own
faith
,
by
rebelling
against
their
own
knowledge
and
belief
.
26.
Because
formerly
they
did
declare
to
believe
that
he
had
received
his
Commission
from
God
,
and
that
he
was
a
true
Prophet
,
M●ssenger
,
or
Minister
of
God
,
and
that
he
had
power
given
him
in
his
Commission
to
set
life
and
death
before
men
.
27.
Which
is
no
other
but
to
pronounce
men
blessed
or
cursed
to
Eternity
,
according
as
they
do
either
believe
or
despise
them
and
their
Declarations
.
28.
So
long
as
they
did
continue
stedfast
in
that
belief
,
they
were
in
perfect
peace
,
because
they
were
sanctified
by
his
Ministry
,
but
now
they
have
changed
their
belief
from
believing
him
to
be
a
true
Prophet
or
Minister
of
God
,
and
in
stead
thereof
call
him
a
Devil
,
and
disown
his
power
.
29.
Herein
do
they
judge
themselves
unworthy
to
have
any
benefit
by
the
Commission
of
the
Spirit
,
for
as
at
first
they
did
look
upon
him
to
have
such
power
,
as
to
give
them
a
blessing
,
and
therefore
did
crave
it
of
him
.
30.
So
long
as
they
continued
subject
to
him
,
they
found
the
benefit
of
it
by
that
peace
and
comfort
they
received
by
it
;
but
since
they
have
resisted
his
power
and
rebelled
against
him
,
they
have
lost
the
benefit
of
his
blessing
.
31.
So
that
saying
is
made
good
,
The
dog
is
returned
to
his
vomit
,
and
the
sow
that
was
washed
into
her
wallowing
in
the
mire
.
32.
Now
they
despise
the
power
of
God
in
his
Messenger
,
and
account
his
Revelation
an
unholy
thing
,
chusing
rather
to
perish
,
than
submit
themselves
unto
him
whom
they
once
owned
to
be
a
true
Prophet
and
Messenger
of
God
.
33.
Therefore
hath
the
only
Minister
of
God
in
this
World
withdrawn
his
love
from
them
,
by
which
means
they
will
become
filthy
and
unclean
,
because
they
are
fallen
back
from
the
Truth
so
far
that
they
cannot
be
renewed
by
Repentance
.
34.
Because
the
falling
back
from
the
Truth
after
they
have
received
it
,
is
that
sin
unto
death
,
for
which
there
is
no
Repentance
nor
Sacrifice
.
35.
Therefore
hath
the
Prophets
wrath
taken
place
in
them
,
because
they
will
never
be
setled
in
true
peace
more
.
36.
Let
these
things
therefore
be
an
example
to
all
that
have
faith
in
the
Commission
of
the
Spirit
,
that
they
may
hold
fast
the
Truth
unto
the
end
of
their
lives
,
and
not
rebel
against
the
Prophet
of
the
Lord
,
least
they
come
to
be
cast
out
of
the
favour
of
God
,
as
those
men
are
to
their
eternal
sorrow
.
37.
Two
things
I
have
to
add
before
I
conclude
this
Chapter
,
first
to
exhort
all
not
to
startle
or
be
troubled
,
much
less
to
scoff
or
upbraid
that
the
breaches
are
thus
come
;
for
it
is
no
otherwise
then
hath
fallen
out
,
and
is
expressed
in
holy
Writ
in
the
two
former
Commissions
.
38.
Secondly
,
although
there
did
arise
the
discention
,
discord
,
and
rebellion
before
mentioned
,
yet
even
thereby
there
hath
been
opened
more
secret
and
heavenly
truths
then
otherwise
would
have
been
as
the
time
when
they
shall
be
made
publique
will
demonstrate
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
the
true
Believers
,
the
seed
of
faith
.
It
was
said
by
our
Lord
when
he
was
on
earth
,
That
in
the
World
there
would
be
offence
,
but
woe
is
on
them
by
whom
they
come
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
How
all
the
Seed
of
Faith
may
be
made
able
to
say
with
me
,
and
all
true
Believers
,
That
they
can
read
that
new
Name
written
in
themselves
,
and
what
the
hidden
Manna
is
.
1.
NOw
I
have
in
plainness
of
speech
declared
that
my
saith
is
fully
grounded
upon
the
Doctrine
declared
by
the
Witnesses
of
the
Spirit
.
Also
I
have
declared
what
and
where
that
God
is
who
is
the
true
Object
of
my
Faith
.
2.
And
I
do
heartily
desire
that
all
the
Seed
of
faith
may
come
to
true
knowledge
of
my
God
,
who
is
Christ
Jesus
glorified
,
and
by
the
true
knowing
of
him
,
and
truly
believing
in
him
be
made
able
to
say
with
me
,
and
all
true
Believers
,
that
they
can
read
that
new
Name
written
in
themselves
which
is
given
to
all
that
overcometh
and
forsaketh
the
idolatrous
worshipping
of
Idols
,
and
Unknown
Gods
,
and
cleave
close
to
the
true
God
by
worshipping
him
only
in
spirit
and
truth
.
3.
The
new
Name
is
the
assurance
of
Salvation
,
and
the
white
stone
,
wherein
it
is
written
,
is
the
heart
,
that
is
made
clean
by
believing
the
truth
.
4.
The
assurance
of
Salvation
is
so
secretly
hid
in
the
heart
that
no
man
can
know
it
,
exceptt
he
that
receiveth
it
for
,
for
it
is
only
written
in
the
heart
of
every
true
Believer
;
therefore
no
man
can
read
it
in
another
;
but
he
that
is
setled
in
the
practice
and
knowledge
of
truth
can
know
it
in
himself
.
5.
This
is
the
hidden
Manna
which
all
true
Believers
seed
upon
;
and
it
is
called
hidden
Manna
,
because
it
is
●idden
in
the
heart
,
where
no
unbeliever
or
despiser
of
truth
can
see
it
,
or
find
it
out
to
be
refreshed
by
it
.
6.
Blessed
for
evermore
be
the
name
of
our
God
for
revealing
his
will
and
mind
to
us
,
declared
in
the
Sacred
Scriptures
,
penned
by
the
true
Prophets
and
Apostles
of
old
,
but
now
made
manifest
by
the
mouth
and
pen
of
his
last
Messengers
,
which
giveth
to
all
that
can
truly
believe
them
,
peace
of
mind
(
in
this
life
)
and
the
assurance
of
everlasting
life
in
the
world
to
come
.
7.
Even
so
,
come
Lord
Jesus
,
come
quickly
,
and
put
an
end
to
all
Time
,
that
we
who
are
thine
Elect
may
be
Crowned
with
that
Glory
which
thou
hast
prepared
for
us
and
all
those
that
love
thee
,
to
wear
in
the
presence
of
thy
most
glorious
Majesty
,
with
the
true
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
,
to
all
Eternity
.
