To the Reader.
PErusing this Treatise, J could not but take notice of some pretious truths in it, and commend them abroad; The spiri∣tuall designe of this Author I find to be this; to set up the Kingdome of God in spirit, and to draw believers by that more into spirit, and that no difference of out∣ward administration, or Ordinances, should divide Christians that are baptised into one spirit; which truth J did much rejoyce to see from his Pen, and practise, and should rejoyce to see the like from all the rest. We know he is not a Jew, who is one outward, neither is that circumci∣sion which is outward in the flesh, we are the circumcision saith the Apostle, who rejoyce in Christ Iesus; and have no confidence in the flesh.
There are some excellent truthes hinted in this Book which I intend to speak on, as of the two Adams▪ the spirituall Church, the spirituall Liberty, the spiri∣tuall, not personall reigne of Christ) in a little Treatise of my owne. The Lord fill us with the Spirit of wisdom and Reve∣lation: The spiritual man judgeth all things.
