A DESCRIPTION OF THE State and Condition OF ALL mankind Upon the face of the whole Earth.  
AND A Discovery unto all; showing what Man was in his Creation before transgression, and what he is in transgression; how he is become a degenerate Plant, bringing forth curled fruit, to the grieving of the good Husbandman, who is thereby provoked continually against the works of his own hands, to destroy that which he hath made, because it is defiled through man's transgression.  
Also, the Way of Restoration, of Salvation, Redemption, and of Life Eternal, is here declared unto all the sons and daughters of Adam in the whole world, that all may come to the knowledge of the Creator, and to have fellowship with him again, from whom all the children of men are separated in the state of enmity, and are ignorant of him, and drove from his presence.  
This is to go abroad into all the Earth, through the whole world, as a Call and Visitation unto all mankind, that they may hear and consider their condition, and may return from whence they are fallen, and may be restored again to serve, and worship, and glorify and living God, who made Heaven and Earth, and all things therein.  
By one who hath measured and viewed in true judgement the condition of all mankind, who is a lover of souls, and a friend to the Creation of God, known in England by the Name of Edward Burrough.  
LONDON, Printed for Giles Calvert, and are to be sold at his shop at the Black-spread-Eagle near the West end of Paul's.   

THis is chiefly to go abroad into the dark parts of the World, among those called Heathens most especially; but its service reacheth to all men and people upon the face of the earth: And out of love unto the Creation, and to all people in the world was it written, and is it brought forth in public, that all that have ears to hear, may hear; and it is to be translated into several Languages by any who are moved of the Lord thereunto; for of a truth the Lord is risen among us, and God hath given the word from his mouth, and many are they that publish it abroad through the world.   

To all the World, and all people upon the face of the Earth without exception.  
TO all the Sons and Daughters of Adam in the whole world, this is the Word of the Lord God, the power that made you, and that made Heaven and Earth, and all things therein, your state and condition consider, How that you are all drove from God your Maker, and from the knowledge of him and of his ways, which are life and peace, and are in darkness, blindness and ignorance feparated from that Power that made you, and in the enmity against it, and are enemies to it in all your ways and words, where the sorrow, anguish, woe and trouble is: But the second Adam, the Lord from Heaven, the Power by whom all things were made, who is called Christ Jesus, hath lightened every one of you with the true light which shines in your hearts in darkness, to give you the understanding of the knowledge of him that made you, and of his salvation and redemption, and of eternal life, if you love the light with which you are all lightened: And first, The light measureth every man's state in true Judgement, and with it you may all see yourselves in the state wherein you now stand which is a state separated from God, and the state wherein man was created, which was blessed.  
Therefore search and consider your state and condition in the light of the world, of the dust of the ground were you made and into man was breathed the breath of life from the living power which formed all things, and man was made a living soul, and was brought forth into the World in the Image and likeness of the Power that made him, every one in particular that be come into the World, for Male and Female in the Image of the Creator created he them, without sin or evil; & man was a noble Plant, wholly a right Seed, planted with the choicest Vine, & placed in paradise, the Garden of the Creator, and there was set to bring forth Fruit, & to glorify and honour him by whom man and all creatures were made; for man was made perfect and upright, set in the council of his Maker without sin, or spot, or evil in his sight, and was the glory of the Creator, and was made for his glory; and Power and Wisdom was given unto man to rule and govern in Dominion, in Righteousness and in Wisdom over all living creatures, and was Lord over all things, and had rule and authority over all the Creation, and was Steward over all things whom the Creator had made, who made all things for man, and made them subject unto him, to be ordered and governed by him, and used to his glory by whom they were made; and in that day when man was in the council of him that made him, and was subject to his Will, he was blessed above all creatures, and unto him was all creatures blessed, and not any thing was evil that was made, but good in his sight that made it, and good unto man that was to use it, he being brought forth in the Image of the Creator, and had a measure of his Wisdom and his Power to teach him, and to lead him in the exercise of all creatures, and was in perfect freedom over all things, to rule in the Wisdom of God. And this was the state of man before transgression, which state was blessed, and not subject to the curse of misery, or sorrow, nor trouble, nor torment; but man disobeyed the Power that made him, and went from its council, and contrary to its will, and grieved it, and vexed it till it became his Enemy to fight against him, and to curse him; for he had transgressed against it by feeding that part which should not with the knowledge of things, and so became wise, and lost uprightness, & touched that which the power that made him had forbidden; & so his mind & heart adulterated from the Creator into the visible glories, pleasures, and things which were less than himself; and so he became unprofitable to his Maker by transgressing against him, and only profitable to himself to seed, and nourish, and delight, and please himself in the outward Creation, and forgot the Power that made him; and thus being with his mind turned into the earth, there the evil entered and the devil overcame him with his temptations, & the power of the earthly darkness gained dominion over him to sway his affections, desires and lusts, into vanities of the earth, and he lost his dominion over the creatures; and they gained dominion over him to serve and worship them, and to please himself with them who became captive with his mind, to be ruled by them in vanity and in evil: And thus man became unprofitable to his Maker, and unfruitful in the Garden, and kept it not undefiled; and being turned from the Covenant wherein he was set, into his own willing and desiring in the outward Creation, the evil defiled him, and he became evil, and a fruitless tree that cumbered the ground, and an enmity was placed in him by disobedience, and all things became evil to him, and the door of all misery and sorrow was opened, & let in the curse upon him inwardly and outwardly, for he became dead in transgression to the life, and power and wisdom of the Creator and every moment was subject to die to this World also. And through transgression of the power that made him he was cast out of the creator's Garden, and out of his love, to labour under the curse in unprofitable ground; and also out of his own dignity, and honour, & dominion was he cast, & became heir of death, and child of Wrath, and Enemy in his mind unto the Creator, and an enmity was placed in him against the power that made him, & rebellion in his mind from which all the Works of unrighteousness proceeds, & innocency was lost, & man became hurtful to himself & to all creatures, & grieved continually the power that made him, & was drove from the presence & feeling of his Creator, into insensibleness: and in this state unto this day are all ye sons & daughters of the first Adam in the enmity against the power that made you, every moment transgressing it; & death reigns over you all, & the power of darkness rules in you all, & the law of sin, & death, & transgression are you all subject to & led captive in your minds, affections & desires, at the will of the power that leads into transgression, called the devil; & in that state you are all strangers to God, & are without him in the World, & ignorant of the knowledge of his ways, and are in the perishing state for want of knowledge, and subject to the curse of the power which you transgress, and are heirs of his Wrath, having no part in the Inheritance of blessing; for a veil of darkness through sin hath overspread you all, and covered you all from the sight, and hearing, and feeling of the Creator, and of the mystery of his glory and wisdom; and every one in particular, and none excepted of all the children of Adam upon the face of the whole earth, but all have sinned and transgressed, and death reigns over all, and blindness of heart hath possessed all, and all have fallen short of the glory of the Creator, & all men are concluded (by his spirit) to be under sin, and children of Wrath, and Heirs of Corruption, and in disobedience & rebellion to the life that gives all men a being; the whole world, & all people in it, without exceptions of tribes, Generations, or Nations, this is the state & condition of all the sons of men; all flesh hath corrupted his way upon the earth in his sight that made it; and the wickedness of man is great in the earth, and the imaginations and thoughts of every man's heart is evil continually, and grieveth the Creator; for the whole earth is filled with violence through man's trnsgression: And now if any stock or age hath privilege one above another, to redemption and salvation, and to the Kingdom of Peace and Glory, but Jew and Gentile, wise and foolish, Noble and Ignoble, Male and Female, all people without exception are in transgression, and by the line and measure of true judgement are shut out from the knowledge of life and salvation, and of the Inhheritance of the Father, in that state of enmity wherein every man in the world is fallen into, and by one the offence came, & so death upon all men, which reigns in the hearts of all, and opposeth the life of the Creator, and every one is imperfect in the sight of the Lord, blind, deaf, dumb, lame and without the sense of the Power that made him and brought him forth, his eye sees not, for it is covered with a veil of darkness; neither doth the ear hear, for it is stopped; nor the Tongue speak, nor the understanding pecceive any thing of the secrets of the Lord, but all are separated and divided from the tree of life, and are cast out from his presence by whom the world was made, into blindness of heart, and to the loathing of yourselves, and are more ignorant of your Maker then the Ox is of his owner, or the ass of his Master's Crib; for you know not him that gives you life and all good things, and that upholds you by the Word of his Power; and this is his word unto you all, You are all under the power of Satan, and subject to his will, acting in iniquity and in evil, bringing forth the fruits of death from that ground in which you now stand, which is cursed, and your Maker hath no pleasure in it, for your fruits grieves his spirit that made you, and vexes his soul which brought you forth; for man is degenerated into the plant of a strange Vine, and brings forth wild grapes and cursed fruits which is of a bitter taste unto the Lord's soul, who planted all things for himself, who is the good Husband man; but the whole earth is corrupted, and all mankind in it, and man is not now acted, nor led, nor ruled in his heart by the Power that made him, which gives him all good things; but the power of Satan, the Serpent, the old Dragon, which deceived from the beginning who is in the enmity against the life of the Creator; he acts man, and rules man, to the abuse of all creatures, and to his own destruction, and every particular man is liable to the wrath, and to the curse, and to everlasting woe, and misery, and tormeut from his Maker, in that state of disobedience whereinto all mankind is fallen, not one upon the face of the whole earth excepted from transgression, and so from misery; nor none privileged one above another unto happiness, but as I have said, Male and Female, who was made in the Image of their Maker in the first Creation; but now every man in the whole world is in the enmity against the life of the power that made him and is a child of wrath and shut up in blindness and unbelief under the devil's power, which power abode not in the truth, but is out of the truth, and all mankind is left in this condition without help, or helper, or deliverance, or means, or way of salvation from himself or any other creature upon the face of the whole earth but is a Sheep without a Shepherd, straying and wandering in the thoughts of his own heart, after vanity, and that wherein there is no profit to the Lord, nor to his own soul, but death and sorrow in all his ways, having forsaken the Fountain of living waters, and gone a-whoring after other Lovers, and defiled himself, and so brought destruction upon himself by his own doings, who abounds in all evil, lying, theft murder, envy, strife, stealing, and Whoredom, and such like which are the fruits of the ground that is cursed for man's sake: But now unto all people, the sons and daughters of Adam, the first man that ever was made; though you be thus fallen into misery by transgression, and helpless from yourselves, or from any other creature, yet hath the living God, the power which made you, and which you have transgressed against, ordained and prepared a way to be restored and healed, and to be brought to the enjoyment and feeling of the Creator from the disobedience, and from the curse and misery, unto the blessing and happiness; and unto all Mankind in particular, is prepared a way out of death unto life, out of the loss which every man hath received in transgression, to salvation, and redemption, and deliverance out of the captivity and bondage, which all is fallen into, into liberty and freedom, to serve his Maker, & to glorify him, for he hath not been served nor glorified, but grieved and vexed by all men on the earth; and so he hath brought misery and the curse upon all, by forsaking them, and leaving them under the power which made them not, to be led and guided by it in rebellion unto destruction. And now this same power by which man was made is man's Restorer, and Deliverer, and Redeemer and Saviour, though he have transgressed against it; for when there was none to help nor to save of any creature upon the face of the earth, the arm of that Power which made all things stretched forth its self to save the creatures which was made; and that same power which is trangressed is the Redeemer of all mankind, though it is offended, and burdened, and pressed as a Cart with sheaves by transgression against the Creator; and that is the power which works out salvation and deliverance by slaying the enmity, and condemning iniquity, and removing the cursed ground out of man's heart, that the evil Fruits may cease which it brings forth; and by this power all must be saved that ever are saved, and delivered from Wrath. And this all men have been ignorant of, and not felt, nor known, nor tasted of the life and power of the Creator, though it hath been near unto every one, and all men and creatures lives, moves, and hath their being by it, and sustenance from it, and yet man transgresses it, and grieves it, and is not led by it.  
Therefore all people upon earth consider your condition and state, and harken to the Power that made you, a measure of which moveth in the hearts of all mankind upon the face of the earth; and it moveth against the evil, and against the defiled and transgressing part in every man's heart that is come into the World; and this Power by which all men was made, and which they have transgressed against (a measure of it from the Father is made manifest to all mankind upon the face of the Earth, and convinceth of the evil, of Murder, and Adultery, and such like, and condemneth the works which are evil in every particular man, whether Heathens or Christians (so called) and unto all people; here is the way to be restored into Covenant with your Maker, a measure of his power in you, secretly moves upon you, and calls to you to return to it, to be led and guided by it in fear, and obedience, and subjection to it, from which you have been driven, and against which you have transgreded; and this power the Creator hath sent his Son into the World, and given him a gift unto all mankind, & he hath given light and understanding to every particular man to know good from evil; truth from a lie, right from wrong; Justice from injustice, and equity from falsehood; and this Power of the Son of God in you, doth witness to you, and accept you, when with it you be guided, and when according to it you speak and act; and it justifies the good, and the right, and the equal, and excuses all men in that from condemnation; but against lying and wrong dealing, and deceit, and injustice it testifies; and when you do these things, you transgress against that Power that made you, which should save you, and justify you, and excuse you, and with it you are accused and condemned, and it brings trouble upon you, and the curse of misery and sorrow; and this Power in you will search your hearts, and try your reins, and let you see your thoughts, and make manifest unto you the state and condition of mankind, who is become enemy to his Maker, in following that which brings death, upon which the wrath remaineth till there be a returning unto the Power by which man was made, a measure of which (as I have said) moveth in the hearts of the sons and daughters of Adam in all the world: And now if every one of you do turn your minds from the World, and from the glories and vanities thereof, and from the evil which hath possessed you in thoughts & actions; and if you stand still for a moment from willing and desiring to yourselves and after the World, this shall you find secretly moving in you, which shall draw you towards the Creator to enjoy him, and to see his glory, which none that are still in transgression against him can ever partake of, or behold; and if to that you harken within you, and heed it, and follow it, which witnesseth to that Power that made you to be great, and mighty, and wonderful, this will show that you are short of his glory, and it will condemn evil in you in all thoughts, and words, & actions, which proceedeth out of the cursed ground in which the Creator hath no pleasure; and this will take away the veil which is spread over you all, and open the blind eye, and unstop the deaf ear, and bring you to hear, and see, and understand the things which are eternal, which belongs unto your peace; and if you all come to be guided by that which moves in you against evil, it will lead you up to its self to be renewed and changed (out of the evil, and from under the devil's power, under which every man bathe been subject, which power hath been out of truth) into the Image and likeness of the Creator, and to be restored to his Inheritance to enjoy peace and rest for ever.  
And this is the Word of the Creator of Heaven and Earth to you all, and to all mankind, this is the Way unto redemption, and salvation, & unto the blessing, out of all sorrow, and troubles, and afflictions, and torments, and woes and miseries, which is the Portion for ever of all that disobeys this Power which moves against evil in you, which is the Power of him that made all men and things which moveth in your hearts against all that which the Creator never placed in you, but w● are fruits of darkness. I say unto you all. This power in you must you own and believe in & follow, and be guided by it, and bear its condemnation and judgement upon all that which is contrary to it; if ever you be restored to the blessed state, and all anger, and wrath, and murder, and lying, and dissembling, and whoredom, and drunkenness, and brutishness, and beastliness, and wantonness, and backbiting, and theft, and all these things whatsoever must be condemned in you, for who acts these things, are Enemies to the Creator, and is led by the power of Darkness which is the destroyer of you soul and body, and the cause of the curse upon you, and the ground of all sorrow, and sufferings, and afflictions, and troubles which comes upon that part in you which is in transgression against the power of God, for there is a birth born of the flesh which brings forth, and goes after fleshly ways, fleshly joys and Delights, and Pleasures, and fleshly Words and Vanities, which murders the Just, and blinds the eye, and grieves your Maker; and this birth must not inherit eternal life, but all that ever doth inherit must be born again of another Seed, and into another Nature, where all the former things is passed away, for all glories of this World will wither, and all your joys and pleasures will come to an end, and you will be left miserable and wretched.  
Therefore oh earth, earth, and all the children of Adam in the whole World, be awakened, be awakened and stirred up to consider of your state and condition, for the Creator of all things is risen to gather his people up to himself, and his voice soundeth abroad through the whole World; if any hath an ear to hear, let him hear; terror and vengeance is against all the rebellious, and to the judgement must all come before the Maker of all things, to be judged by him according to the Power which moves in every man, which is just and equal, and witnesseth in equity, which is a measure of the Power that made the World, and all mankind unto it shall confess, to its greatness, to its justness, and to its authority; and to it must all the children of Adam bow, and before it tremble, and he that hath done good, and lived in meekness and soberness, in the truth, and in justness, in all that which is good, & not in any evil, shall receive life, peace, rest and glory from the righteous Judge, the Power by whom the World was made, and he shall be excused from all condemnation; but he that hath done evil, and transgressed against the Power of God by which he is upholden, who is degenerate, and brings forth rudeness, wildness, and wickedness, he shall receive tribulation and anguish, and be deprived of happiness in this life and for ever; and all who doth not own the measure of the Power of the Creator in you to be guided by it, such doth neglect and reject the day of your Visitation, and shuts yourselves out from the glory of God, and are unworthy of life and peace; but all that owns this, and are subject to it, the Power of his Son, who is the Maker of all things, and doth follow it, this will reconcile you, and stay the enmity, and bring you into unity with the Creator, and this will lead you out of darkness out of death and evil, and all the ways thereof, and will save you from all the effects thereof, and you will be excused and justified in the sight of the Creator. Therefore all people upon earth consider, this is the day of your Visitation, the Way of life and of death is set before you, the Way unto peace, and the way of trouble; prize the day of your Visitation.  
This is to go abroad through all the world to all the Sons and Daughters of Adam; it is a Warning from the Creator and Maker of all things, by a friend unto all people, and a lover of their souls.   

HEre is the estate and condition of mankind described, whereby in the sight of the World all may come to understand how all the sons & daughhters of the first Adam are degenerated, and subverted, & fallen from the state wherein man was created in the beginning, who was blessed of his Creator, being brought forth in his own image and likeness, to rulin dominion over all living creatures, and to use them to the glory of the Creator; and in that day man was not subject te the curse of misery, or sorrow, or vexation, for that door woe not opened for the curse to enter, but man was altogether blessed in the state wherein he was brought forth, until by disobedience unto the power that made him, another power gained dominion over him, even the seed of Enmity placed itself in man's heart, which prospered by man's rebellion, and became a great Tree of bitterness, bringing forth much Fruit in the hearts of all the children of Adam, to the vexing, & grieving, and dishonouring of the Spirit and Life of God the Creator, even to the making void of his Purpose in creating man, who created him for his glory, but man disgraces him, and dishonours him altogether, and brings forth fruit not accepted, but grievous, and of a bitter taste, and the Lord's soul hath been pressed as a Cart with sheaves, under man's transgressions, who have backslided and revolted, and turned aside for a thing of nought, and have cast himself down from his excellency of Dominion into shame and dishonour, daily provoking the long-suffring of the Lord, and wearying his goodness, and he hath been provoked to cut off the Works of his own hands, which Satan hath entered into, and defiled, and made loathsome and abominable to the Maker; for Satan hath made man barren of all good, and fruitful in all evil, and he is wholly subverted into another end in all his Works, than wherefore he was created; he that reads let him understand (the Creator of all things planted a Vineyard, with the choicest Vinr, his own image) and he dressed the vineyard, and watered it, and he came to look for Fruit in the season, and behold the vineyard was degenerated into strange Plants, and brought forth only wild Grapes; and sour Grapes, and crossed the expectation of the good Husbandman, for the Fruit of the vineyard was loathsome to him, of an ill smell, and of a bitter taste, and his soul was not satisfied, but grieved, who laboured for himself, that he might gather. Fruits of the Plants which he had planted with the choicest Vine; but behold, his Vineyard (all mankind) was barren of good Fruit, and no pleasant Fruit could the Husbandman reap to himself, but the Vines were degenerated, and all brought forth wild Grapes, and sour Grapes, which the good Husbandman hath no pleasure in, but is vexed thereby; for his vineyard is barren of all good Fruit, and the fruits of unrighteousness hath abounded, whereby the good Husbandman is provoked to fury and indignation against the vineyard which he had planted, being become degenerate Plants, and strange slips; this is a Parable, and describeth the condition of all mankind; if any have ears to hear, let him hear, and read himself how he was planted with the image of his Maker, but is now degenerated and turned aside from truth and righteousness, from all good, and from the ways of peace, out of the love and pleasure of his Maker, and is now in all evil, in deceit and unrighteousness, and in the ways of sorrow and trouble, and in the maker's displeasure; and the Seed of Enmity ruleth in him, and is suffered to be King in the Wrath of God, and must be taken away in God's displeasure and anger; for that is not the anointed of God, but is in rebellion against his Authority, and breaks his Law, and transgresses his commands, and must be condemned into perdition; for all cursed Fruits doth spring forth from that Seed, to the vexing and grieving of the Lord God, injustice, oppression, deceit, hypocrisy, falsheartedness, lying, murder, whoredom, theft, envy, bitterness, perverseness, devouring one another covetousness, idolatry, and all manner of evil which gives an ill savour, & a corrupted taste, and a loathsome sight in the presence of the Lord God, who made all things. Oh how abominable are all the ways of man become-unto his Maker, who hath nodelight in any of his ways, nor pleasure in any of his Works! Oh how is the Lord grieved, and his soul from day to day oppressed, and his long-suffering provoked by the ways and works of his creatures which he made for himself! but they are become the Devils, and subject to the power of the enmity; & all man's works are brought forth in that nature which is evil, and out of that ground which is cursed; his good works are not accepted, and his evil deeds are condemned, all which springs forth of one root of bitterness and enmity, which is in the displeasure of the Creator: Oh earth be awakened, and all ye sons and daughters of Adam, call to mind your state and condition, and repent, and return before destruction, when no time of repentance can be found.  
harken to instruction, and let your ears be open to hear; here you may all hear and understand the way to restoration to be restored and recovered out of this condition, and out of this Enmity, and from under this curse of misery and destruction; for a way hath God prepared unto all mankind, and is making it manifest unto the whole earth, that the Sons and Daughters of Adam may again know their Maker, and have fellowship with him; and this way is but one, which is ordained for all people upon the face of the earth, of what Tribe or Nation soever; and all that comes to the knowledge of the Creator must walk in this way, which is called Christ Jesus, who is the Son of the Creator, the second Adam, the Lord from Heaven, the Power and wisdom of the Creator, and by him all things was made, and without him was not any thing formed that was brought forth; he is the Restostorer, the Redeemer, and the Deliverer; for he cannot be overcome of the evil, but overcometh and treadeth down all the Powers of Darkness, and death, and the Devil, which riseth against him in all the world; and the Creator hath so loved mankind, though he hath transgressed against him, and grieved him, yet he hath given his Son into the world, into all Nations, without respect of persons or people, to be the Saviour of all that believe in him, and receive him, that they may come out of death and darkness, from under the devil's power, and may be translated, and changed, and renewed out of sin, and death, and ignorance, and rebellion, and out of the Kingdom of the Devil, into truth and righteousness, and into the kingdom of God. And this Restorer, and Saviour, the Power and wisdom of the Creator, hath lightened all mankind, every one that cometh into the world is lightened by him, that every one may follow him, and be guided by his power and wisdom; and every one that doth receive him, sin and iniquity, and transgression is condemned, and the seed of the Enmity is cast out by his power, which is revealed against all unrighteousness, and he subdues it, and works it forth of the hearts of all men, and so reconciles man again to his Maker, to have fellowship with him; and this Restorer, the second Adam, comes to be revealed within every man, who executes true Judgement upon the Transgressor, and bindeth under the rebellious Nature, and death and condemnation passes upon the seed of Enmity and all its fruits, upon the Devil and all his works, upon him who is born of the flesh, and all his ways, his joy is turned into mourning, his pleasures into sorrow, his glory and rejoicing into sadness of heart, and the life which he has lived comes to be crucified, & the ways which he hath walked in comes to be hedged up, and no more followed, and his strength is turned into weakness, and all his ways and pleasures fadeth and perisheth, and the birth which is immortal comes to be brought forth, which is not of this world, but Heir of the creator's Inheritance, who hath no glorying under the Sun, nor no pleasure in the glory of this world, which passeth away, but lives unto God in all things, and brings forth fruit unto the Father, and is replanted into the living Vine, and is leavened into a new lump, and placed in the Garden of God, all the old garments are put off, & old things are passed away, the devil is cast out, the blind eye is opened, & the veil is taken away which hath been spread over all, & the deaf ear is unstopped, & man is again returned unto his Maker, & hears, & sees, & understands the things which are eternal, which belongs to his peace; the fear of God is set up in his heart, and God's secrets are revealed unto him, & he is become the glory of his Maker, to praise him, to glorify him, & to magnify him for evermore, being restored again unto God's Image, & guided with his power & wisdom, & have received dominion and authority from his Maker to reign & rule over all creatures, & to be exercised in all things to his glory by whom they were made; he is not in bondage to any creature, but in liberty over it, & the creatures are become his servants, & he servant to his Maker, & the earth yields its increase unto man, the curse is removed, & the blessing restored in the Covenant of Peace and righteousness, where all creatures comes to be enjoined; the covenant of Death and Hell being broken and disannulled, where the curse stood; & standeth in all the world, where the Restorer of the second Adam is not received, who moveth by the measure of his power against the evil in the hearts of all men, & he knocketh at the door of the heart, that he may be received, and come in and dwell with the children of men, whose delight is with the sons of men; & every one that openeth unto him, & hearkeneth to his cry who calleth by the Light, & moveth by his Power, by him they receive life and peace, and sulness from the Father, and are raised from death to life, & redeemed from under the power of Satan to the power of the Creator, all evil in the ground and in the fruits, judgement goes upon it all, and condemnation; & thus mankind comes to be restored again to God his Maker, to be the children of God, and heirs of his Inheritance, and is no more of this world, but redeemed by Jesus Christ out of kindreds, tongues, and people, out of respect of time, place, creatures, or things, and sees through all creatures, to be before the world was, beyond all the glory of this world, to the glory of the Lord; and here is the praising, the singing, & rejoicing, the living & walking in that life which cannot change, & in the world, of which there is no end; and here a greater glory is known than the first man's glory, a greater state than that which was overcome of the Devil, a greater dominion than that which was lost; this dominion never can have an end, death is swallowed up of life, all sorrow and anguish is swallowed up of rejoicing, all tears are wiped here, and there is no more sorrow, the quickening spirit is felt and witnessed, which hath quickened again to God, and God Tabernacle is with men, and his dwelling place with the children of men, and that is felt and seen, and tasted, which was before the world was, before any creature was made; and the whole world is comprehended, and man's state in his first creation is here known, what it was; and man's state in transgression is also known, whiat it was, and man's state restored again, is also witnessed, and the difference sperceived betwixt the first Adam, which was overcome of the Devil, though he was innocent and without sin, and bore the likeness of his Maker, and of the second Adam, who cannot be overcome of the devil, whom Satan hath nothing in, who is the express image of the creator itself. He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear; eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, it hath not entered into the heart of man that which the Father hath revealed by his spirit; things not lawful to be uttered, of which there is no declaring, that which is infinite, endless, eternal; and in this I shall end.
