The XII. Chap.

BEHolde / Heer-to thou must needes [ A] com / and it shall now also fall vpon thee / O thou vnfaithfull Seede / a 1.1 thou earthlie and lying Man / which hast at all tymes dealt or behaued-thee hypocritically and b 1.2 falselie, against God the Father {reversed ;}by his Seruice of ye Lawe; against Christ, the Sauiour {reversed ;}by his Seruice of the Beleef; and against the Holie-gost {reversed ;}by his Seruice

of the Loue;. and eauenso vaunted or geeuen-fourth thyself, to be the Communiastie of Holyones / or c 1.3 the Coioyned-bodye of the Bodye of Christ, a•…•…-ouer the vniuersall Earth. But thou shalt presentlie be for∣ced to beare thy iust Sentence-of-iudgment & Ac∣cusation / As that thou art false / and {reversed ;}against the pure d 1.4 Bryde / Church / or Coioyned-bodie of Christ; a poluted or e 1.5 defiled Whoore: and that thou art worthie of the eternall Condemnation f 1.6 and Fire of Hell.

2. And although thou woldest neuer-so-faine co∣uer thee, with thy Hipocrisie · and geeue-fourth thy self {reversed ;}in this Daye of the Loue; as faithfull and vp∣right / yet shalt thou not be able so to do. For heere auaileth now no-lenger any Hipocrisie or Couered∣nes: nether-yet likewise shall anyman knowe how to couer himself, before thissame Light of the Loue: but they must all now becom g 1.7 apparantlie-mani∣fested {reversed ;}euen thesame that they are; by thesame Light.

3. WHosoeuer now therfore is earthlie min∣ded [ B] / false and couered of heart / and de∣sireth to continew therin / His Nature shall now right-soone bee seene or perceaued. For the Light of this Daie, h 1.8 shineth now so perfect-bright & cleere / that no Vngodlie / nor any Hipocrites or false Hear tes (let them thē holde themselues so presumpteous on their false Righteousnes, as they will) shall a∣ny-way be able i 1.9 to endure or bide-standinge, in thissame Daie of the righteous Iudgment of God.

4. But / whosoeuer is heauenlie minded / and vp∣right of heart: humbleth himself {reversed ;}with a goodwil∣ling Heart; vnder the Loue and her Seruice: who•…•…∣lie

geeueth-ouer himself, vnder the Maiestie of God: and cauenso {reversed ;}without any peruerse k 1.10 Thoughtes; loueth the vpright and godlie Beeinge / By such-a∣one thesame shall likewise certenlie appeere / and {reversed ;}in ye Expressing of his Deede; be verie-well perceaued.

5. For to those-same vpright Heartes {reversed ;}which walke l 1.11 obedientlie, in the Doctrine of the gratious Woord and Seruice of Loue / and shewe all Faith∣fulnes thervnto; it is graunted to vnderstād in their Spirit {reversed ;}accordinge to the heauenlie Trueth of the vpright Beeinge; m 1.12 the Misterie of the Kingdom of the God of Heauens: wherthrough they make-ma∣nifest the Powers of the Holie-gost / and the Testi∣monies of his liuinge Waters / n 1.13 which flowe {reversed ;}at that time; from the Bodie of their Spirit / and reach •…•…auen vnto the euerlasting Life.

6. But the Straungers {reversed ;}which walke with-out the Famelie of Loue / or deale falslie therwith; o 1.14 tast not the louelie Beeing of the spirituall and heauenlie Goods. For they vnderstand nor p 1.15 knowe not the∣same any otherwise, but according to an earthly and fleashlie Beeinge: For earthlie and fleashlie are •…•…ll their Mindes and Thoughtes.

7. BVt {reversed ;}alas; this cannot an earthlie Man [ C] {reversed ;}which trulie is alwayes nothinge q 1.16 but fleashlie minded; comprehend nor vnderstand: yet will hee neuerthelesse alwayes go-on, with his ly∣inge, earthlie, and fleashlie Mindes / and iudge ea∣uenso the spirituall and heauenlie Vnderstandinges therout. For-that-cause hee cannot haue any Lust nor beare any Loue, towardes the True / Spiritu∣all / and Heauenlie. but well, towardes the Lyinge /

Earthlie / and Fleashlie: wherout hee likewise (as it is right-well to be perceaued) bringeth-fourth no∣thing-els, but the r 1.17 Woorkes of the Fleash and of the lyinge Beeinge.

8. But a spirituall Man s 1.18 is clothed with the Spirit of God and the Trueth: For that cause hee is also according to the Trueth, spirituallie minded. His Fourth-goinge and the Lust of his Woorkes, is {reversed ;}in all; to the t 1.19 Fruites of the holie Gost / for to bringe-fourth thosesame out of the Spirit of God / and so to publish or declare-fourth the Kingdom of God / and his Righteousnes.

9. For hee knoweth {reversed ;}out of the secreat Misterie of the Kingdom of God; how to discerne and dis∣tinct the spirituall Goods, according to the heauen∣lie Trueth / or holie u 1.20 Vnderstandinge: to-weet / that hee sheweth & declareth an expresse Difference, be∣twixt the x 1.21 Earthlie / and the Heauenlie / and betwixt the Lying / and the True: the which, to all earthlie vnregenerated Men {reversed ;}with all their Industrie and Prudentie; is a thinge y 1.22 vnpossible.
