is good in the Leadings of the Light, and so man comes out of Anger and Envy, into Meekness and Love, and is led from all the Works of the Flesh that be evil, unto God who is the chief∣est good; and this is the work of Christ, the Power of God un∣to Salvation; he comes into the World, and reproves the World, he leaves the World again, and saves out of it all that obey and follow him; So he makes manifest all things that be evil, and he leads out of them, and saves from them as obedience is given to him: So a Drunkard turning to the Light, when it reproves him for Drunkenness, and yielding obedience to it, it leads him out of Drunkenness into Soberness, and delivers him from under the po∣wer of Satan, who hath him Captive at his will; and so the Light makes all things manifest, and as it is obeyed it leads out of all Evil, both in thought, word and deed; and places true judge∣ment upon all Evil things, and brings them all to the death of the Cross, and slayes the Enmity, and makes all subject to its power, cutting down the Man of Sin, and Crucifying the Flesh, with all the Affections and Lusts of it; and so the old Man dies with all his corruptible deeds, and in the Judgment is buried down, and the new Man is raised, which after God is created in Righteous∣ness; and so a holy Birth is born through the Operation of the Power of the Light, in which the spirit of the mind is renewed, and Soul and Body sanctified, and the Conscience purged from all dead works; and thus all old things is put off, and all things are made new, in the work of Regeneration, in which a new birth is raised, that abides in the Fathers House, and feeds upon bread of Life.
And this is something of the Operation of the Light, in all that do obey according to the Scriptures.
