Belove,
THe Divine and Evangelical being is in God, from which foun∣tain we issued forth, by the strength of God in the declarative of his Son; for the Son is the Father, and the holy Ghost is the product, and he is the Father in the first Center, but he is
operating in the creation, nay the life of the Creation, for he is perfect truth, and perfect truth is perfect God (minde the state) There is a perfect truth in every created Creature, which is the essential being of God in the same; for that that is not cannot be properly nor unpro∣perly be said to be any thing, for know, that truth must be truth and admit no negotiation, but must be it self, and that self taken into it self, is perfect God; Now man he is the Lye as we account him man; for we account and name weakness capable of sorrow man; That is the Lye, for 'tis accounted for the thing, and is not the thing, as man accounts it: Now to be man is truth, and drawn up to his center, is perfect God, in his first perfection, minde, perfect man is perfect Christ, Christ is God; Now know that man is nothing, till he be in Christ, now when is that, when we are centred in him who is our man, and we are but names till then, but he it is that made us names, that is, weak∣ness, and he it is that makes us things, one thing in himself, and one in God, through the everlasting Covenant: what is that? tis the mercy of God himself, that is Christ, minde that indraft, for to speak the Deity proper, tis unione, that is Jehovah: Declaratives are the per∣sons, as you call them, which is but the heighth of motion of Jehovah: Now know that God and Christ is all one, ever was and to come the the same: Now Christ promised was God himself, that would take the life of the world into a more near living life into himself, by illustrating himself in the beams of words, they being let down to allure his people, which inside spirit of them outside spellings, or words is, Jesus the Son of God; for the life of Jesus is the declarative of God in the life of our life, for there is a natural life and a spiritual life: Now you are alive in Christ, when your self is dead unto your self, and his power raigns and rules in you, and ye are ruled by it wholy, then ye live, be∣fore ye are dead though living, for if we live tis being one, in the unione: Minde well, and you may discern the basis on which the Scripture the truth of it is founded; for I deny all to be inserted in the book called Scripture, to be true; for in the main point of the new Testament, is stated the Lye for the truth, that is, the outside man, for the anointing or inside spirit, as I shall open: Now brethren by creation, that you can∣not deny, brethren by restoration, to you, to all, to one and every one, is this my Meathod laid down, not to perswade any or all, but to the quick-headed and unknowledge-hearted: I know what I speak, and again to the heart-knowledged, whose receptacle or knowledge re∣sides there, that in that strength, hath brought not onely the head to go out from the heart, but hath brought the actions to be witnesses, what is done by the Spirit of God in the heart. Now these two states will hold all people, for there is but light and darkness in the Creation; Now minde and all stand upon your own Center, whilst I open this vailed, vailed, and vailed Vail, that is, the Divinity, buried with the
Heads, and Hands, and Tongues, and Pens of Humanity: Christ was promised that he should come, and restore faln man; what was that? It was restoring the buried Divinity up in the humanity, that is, Christ in us the hope of Glory, for without Christ no hope, nay, no glory, he is our glory, and he is the gathering us into himself; then gathered we are in strength, and strength is man, man is Christ, and Christ is God: So then there the beginning hath taken its end into it self, so an unione in one, that one is God. Now know that Christ is God, God is Christ, both one, the product are we. Now minde, Selat ori alter arbe opat mem siddei sem arbat al ogo ••oon addi nex homo: The eternal purpose was reconciliation in himself by man, not man, both God and man, and neither God nor man. Here lyes the unridled mystery, that lyes hid from the world, I beseech you minde, for 'tis not my voyce that is here uttered, 'tis the eternal spirit dictating forth unto you its own instruction, to cause your vailed ignorance to taste death, by the living life offered unto you, in its transcendeant life: Allu saba ar dele mem selos in re facit me (minde:) I am the high living rest to the rest∣less thing, that is man and the creation: Selos abbi a salmoas in re fa∣cissere ad amalam orbeus sabat al: The high denomination of God in man, is the resting in wisdom in himself, that is, God. This state is dark, but 'tis true, for the beginning and middle are brought to center in the end, that is, God: Now know that Christ created the world, he is the life of the world, the creation is Christs spouse; know that the humanity is but the case, for the divinity to act and operate in; Now how could he that was the life of all things, made all things, and by him all things did, do, and shall consist, and subsist, how could he dye? vox populos in sem alba arri nedet erko on: The peoples voyce in the thing, is not the true thing; for know that the proper humanity could not dye, for then the whole creation must dye at once, neither the life of the Creator could not be confined (in one) that was and is all; now let me speak truth, he died not, he suffered not, he sinned not, he saved not by any act that was done; for tis the Priests trade from the Popish descent: Christ hath been the great Priests market, they have bought and sold him, they got the name and knew not the thing. But to state the text, Its origine was Latine, these words, ver non homo, sed in loca paucaveret: A man not a man, but in place of offence: The Text in the Chaldean tongue, Alla alarum in sam sagaus sab, the meaning is the same with the Latine Text: The true Greek Text in his first origine, Ous te ana∣gramon in sem seala alar ophrone adriei sebat: The Hebrew in the root, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 The Hebrew in word, ack ack L••addi ne, that is, he is, and is not the God; the Hebrew Text will not admit no more bending to illustrate the state, for to hold the truth in the truth of word, it will not couch to your minde or will; for minde and will must yield to the word. I beseech you think on that last state stated, for tis the
divine truth: Now to begin or enter into this alyso or deep sea, I intreat you minde, one Text saith, The seed of the woman shall break the serpents head: Minde that Text, I prove that false, and the Scripture is true: So I deny not the Scripture, but the Lye that is added to, or set for Scripture. Now I shall declare how you may know I know it to be the Scripture, and I tell you how you shall know it to be the Scripture; Thus, when the life of Jesus is your life, and your spirit taken into that Spirit that wrote the Scripture, who is, and none else, the true ex∣positor of his own intendants: Minde them words, the intent of the spirit was in that false translated text 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Hevah, for know that wo∣man is Hevah, which is weakness, that is the woman, for the creation is the weak woman of God, and Christs spouse; The truth that lyes vailed in that Text, or Lye, I count it no better, neither is it: Now the truth that lyes vailed, the intendant in that Text is, the strength of the woman shall overcome weakness, which you account sin. Now who is the strength of the creation: is not Christ? for till you are in Christ, you are woman, that is weakness; in Christ you are man, that is, a strong conquerer through him who is the strength of the woman, the woman and man one in him, that is, Christ: The next is, A Virgin shall conceive and bring forth her first born, and they shall call his name Emanuel, I give you this, though the Text doth not hold in full; what is this? the intendant is Christ: Who is this Virgin? it was not Mary, and it was Mary, that you have confined Christ to be born of, Tis the spirits intent, the whole birth, born, and brought forth in the whole creation, was, is, and to come the same; this is Mary, that is, perfection, for where Christ is born, a pure Virgin doth conceive and bring forth, for he himself is Virgin, birth, and bringer forth of him∣self. Now you whose reaches are tied to the traduced, not understood letter, called Gospel, or word of God, you begin to swell: Let not swelling turn to rage, but desire knowledge of him who is the true Ex∣positor of his own intendants. Now to come to your name Christ, confined to Jerusalem: I am a Jew of the Tribe of Ruben, begotten by the Gospel, by the life of Jesus Christ, Jah, Jehovah, L, Emanuel, a One, Tele, Thre-on, Pell, Sanah, Eloah, Ad, Eval, Allu, Haso, Apal, Ve∣nat, On, Sele, Tran, All these names in their Tongues and Languages the same, and but one name, that is, God or Christ, both one, one both. I say the man Christ suffered as you say, so say I, you understand not, that do I: Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, was put to death, suffered by the hands of wicked men, rose from the dead, descended into hell, would you have any more? I acknowledge all this. Saith one Text, He sitteth at the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us, That I deny, and charge it blasphemy; but before I prove the blasphemy, know them words is the sealed book, not opened yet; therefore minde I beseech you for Jesus sake (that is your own word and my spirit) mark that
state. To begin with the first, that I have declared, Christ was put to death, and suttered by sinners, here lies the ridled riddle: First, Christ created all things, is the life of all things, he could not dye, for with him the whole creation, nay God himself, in that state it must stand thus for the divinity of Christ: Secondly, the humanity of Christ could not dye, thus, if the humanity must dye, then the whole altogether, the whole creation, no part left nothing, nor no earth, for that is Christs humanity, as well as we. Now know you hold that Christ must be perfect God, so say I, then know that two perfections at once cannot be, that is to say, two Gods, for names make not things, but things make names, there must be a living thing before a name; there is another Mystery, one of the greatest in the Scripture. Know my learning is not of man, nor by man, but I am taught of the living God, who is the true Expositer of his own intendants. He desended in hell; where was that coyned? at Rome, from the Papal diabolical doctrine, the Panther that is a destroyer ineagling is quick catched, and the carrying the Ty, or catched into that fatal place. The spirits denomination was, the Panther, or the ineagling the Tye into that fatal place, the state was let down to me in them words at first, I cannot reach it, my manhood yet, for know he that created all things, was all things, and is all things; how can he be said to go into any local place? for the intendant Jesus must descend into one place, but Jeius must descend into Hell, what is that? that descent is into us, who are Hell or Devils, for ye are of your father the Devil, what is the Devil? he is not love: then you know what is the contrary in man, Christs descent into Hell was to redeem us, tis true in the intendant, for know they and we are but one spirit, he descendeth now into us, as he did then into them; for his descend∣ing into our Hell, is his own resurrection in us, in him, by one the very same spirit, if the spirit of Jesus be in ye, ye are risen from death to life; so saith the true Scripture. But now to that Text that saith, He sitteth at the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us, I charge it to be absolute blasphemy: Thus God is one in the unione his Deity, glorifie me with the glory that I had with thee, before the world was: There was but one God, is but one God, one glory in himself, that is to say himself in himself. Can one God intercede to another? no, Nei∣ther hath God hands, neither any fear, neither any place, for he is all and nothing, this is God: Now for you to speak God truly, you can∣not; for thus the all of the creation, the beauty, strength, wisdom, ex∣cellency, and knowledge cannot spell his name: All named together is his name, that spell ••ehovah 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Thus Christ died not, he suffered not, he sinned not, he saved not, by any act that was done, for the life of all things could not suffer, which was his divine essence, the humanity could not dye, then the whole creation, and God himself, for if the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the subsistance be taken away, the subsistance is
dead, for the humanity is all things, the divinity the life of all things, and they cannot be separated; Christ is the life of God, and if the creature can destroy the Creator which is the life of it self, judge ye, it may cause its own likeness to suffer, that is, a part of the humanity of Christ; so Christs body being part of the humanity of God, it suffered as man, and no more, for he was the transcendant pipe, in which the Deity passed through, to illustrate the will of his own commandings; he was the first birth of the brethren, the anointed above his fellows, that was spiritual, that could not suffer undeniably; For know if God could suffer, then he is no God, but man, he saved not by any act that was done, for minde, the acts of humanity cannot satisfie divinity: or thus, the obedience of man, cannot satishe God, for then you would make God weakness, as you are weakness, so by consequence, you are as great a God as the eternal being, which I deny, and you will not affirm for the spirit of Jesus (look to your own state) Jesus is a Savi∣our, a Saviour cannot suffer, for then no Saviour; minde and the Lord give you understanding. For if he could be angry, no God, for anger is weakness, that is, in us, not in God, if he should but think at such a time he would satisfie himself for the sins of the people, then that thought makes him no God, but do you know that you were, when you were not that that now you are, and shall be? God is unchangable, for know that which we account to be, is not, and that we account not to be, that is, for though we be dark in our selves, we are light in him, and when we are light in our selves, then is our greatest darkness; thus God doth stain the glory of man, you must be captivated by his love, that is, your restoring to life, for in this main scope of scripture (for want of knowledge) is the Nations loss, that God may have mercy, for they have stated the humane body, God, to suffer to the divine Deity, God, when it is but one very thing, for the divinity and humanity make up perfection, and that is God in unione, and we have made them by accounting two Gods, hanging one in another: The word is pro∣per according to your own riddle. Ox te sabdi el dele mem, The God is alone all in all things; minde that state well: So minde these two states: Selos in rem a sabar: the heavenly thing cannot suffer: Hu∣manitas in rem saddi ne: The humanity could not satisfie for the thing: O a palaram in sam madaous in selous in aberemus soas alah al: The high living light could not suffer to it self. So that riddle of bondage to the creation is unridled, if understood and believed, that is, my Gods work, and not mine, for my work is alah al, to unseal the hidden myste∣ry in the Scriptures, added by mans invention, and false construction, and when this is done, Behold and see, for I Theaurau John did behold and have seen the precious pearl, the souls delight, O the Apples of life that my soul thirsts after! oh the paradaical fruit, O so ••••••ah halalujah al, oh the divine being is the inravishment of the soul, o•• the evange∣lical
injoyment in the paradaical essence! O amorum in sobao; se, O the the lovely divine being is in it self! O the pictures of gold, in apples of silver! O the perfume in Paradice is the injoyment of himself! O beloved, our loveliness is there! But my brother John saw the new Je∣rusalem descend, what is that, it is to attract our souls to its lovely center, this is the time that the new Jerusalem should be letten down, which is the light and knowledge in the everlasting Gospel, they shall all know me, how? they shall all be taught of God, that teaching is knowledge, that knowledge is God; the new Heaven, the new Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness; for where knowledge lays the founda∣tion, Jesus Christ erects his Throne: O a saba ormoas sabdial. O rest to wisdom, wisdom rest.
