He that hath not received a gift from the holy Ghost in some measure, is not sent forth by the eternall Spirit, or God of all truth, this is infallible, and such knowes not what the Creator is, but by imagination, and carnall conceptions of him, and such in the Light of Christ is seen, and by it judged, and among such thou art, to that in thy conscience I speak, which will witnesse me, he that hath re∣ceived the holy Ghost, turnes people from the power of Satan to the power of God, and knowes the Creator, and the dwelling of him in the heart, for as the Scripture saith, the word is nigh, but let all flesh be silent, he who is in time, knowes not him which was before time, and shall be when time shall be no more; he who knows the Creator which inhabiteth eternity, is redeemed out of time, into the Habi∣tation of the Almighty, but this to thy dark minde and spirit is unknown, if ever thou know it, it must be through death, the nature and glory of the Elect differs not from the Nature and glory of the Creator, for the Elect are one with the Crea∣tor, in his nature enjoying his glory, which was from eternity unto eternity, he that reads let him understand, thy word distinct Essence, I deny, for the Elect is not distinct from the Creator, but lives by the dwelling of the Son in him, and with the Son the Father dwels also, if thou hast an ear, thou mayest hear.
