THe book of Joshua, or Jesus, who is the Lord God, the Com∣mander and Leader of the people, commanding all that is in them, their mindes and spirits carrying them through Jordan, or the midst of many afflictions in spirit, gi∣ving them his grace, which is strength enough; and though his rod and staff be upon them, yet it shall comfort them, if the Lord be with them. Moses could not bring them in their Rest, but it must be Joshua that must do it; not men, but the Lord; not the Ministry of Flesh, but Spirit; Moses dyed, Joshua lived; it is not the dying man, but the quickened Spirit.
The little Bible of the man or the Book of God opened in man by the power of the Lamb. Wherein God is the spirit or inside of the book, and man the letter or out-side of it. In whom, as in a glass, you may both behold the spirit and letter of the holy Scriptures in the new man; fulfilled and explained from Genesis to Jeremiah. This is the first volume of Gods Book in man. Written by a weak instrument of the Lords, Capt. T. Butler.
