To all that would know the Way to the KINGDOM, Whether they be in Forms, with out Forms, or got above all Forms. A Direction to turn your minds within, where the Voice of the true God is to be heard, whom you ignorantly Worship as afar off, and to wait upon him for the true Wisdom. That you may know Truth from Error, the Word from the Letter, the Power from Form, and the true Prophets from the false.

A warning to all sorts of People who live in sin and uncleanness; For the wicked must be turned into Hell, and all that forget God: And all who are workers of iniquity are accursed from Christ; for saith he, Go ye cursed, ye workers of iniquity into utter darkness.  
I Am the light of the world, and enlightens every one that cometh into the world: Christ hath enlightened every one that comes into the world; thou that loves that light, which Christ hath enlightened thee withal, thou brings thy works to the light, that thy deeds may be proved that they are wrought in God; and he that walks in the light, there is no occasion of stumbling in him, it teacheth righteousness and holiness, it will keep thee from lying, and not let thee lie, and keep thee in tenderness of conscience towards God and man, and never let thee swear, it will check thee if thou dost; the light will not let thee take God's name in vain, it will let thee see if thou dost, thou must not go unpunished; And will never let thee follow drunkenness, nor vain company, for who lives in that nature, are without God, and shall never inherit the Kingdom of God; therefore beware, this light will keep thee from Adultery and Whoredom, for such will God judge; and the light will keep thee from theft, quarrelling, and fight, and abusing thyself with mankind, and envy, and will keep thee in the fear of God, this light which is of God, and let thee see all the works of the world, and draw thee out of the worships of the world, and keep thee in the fear of God; where the true wisdom is made manifest, the pure wisdom is made manifest to the pure, and put into the pure heart, and then thy own wisdom thou wilt see with the light, arising out of the earthly part in thee; which wisdom is sensual, and devilish, and earthly; for while there is enviousness in thee, there lodgeth the man slayer, and all the wisdom is from below, while that nature stands: there's Sects, and there's Opinions, and there's conceivings ariseth out of this earthly part, where lodgeth this wisdom, and self-conceit, and pride, and by this wisdom the living God is not known, and so all who dwells in this wisdom put the letter for the word, and give meanings and expositions upon it, and so gathers together with the outward letter, not having the power and life that gave it forth; so there's Castles builded, and strong Holds, and fenced Cities and high Walls, as the jews, who had the outward form of that which was given forth from the power; the form of the Prophets, and Moses, and David, and Abraham, who saw Christ, who lived in the power; but the Pharisees and the Priests getting their words, knew not Christ; so it is now with this Generation of the world; for you say, ye know Christ; the jews said, they were of Abraham, the same, so that had gotten the letter, and others words which had the power, and all these are but imitations and likenesses which are above, lifted up above the pure, and here lodgeth the Serpent in this Earthly part; but as the eternal light which Christ hath enligtned you withal is loved, minded, and taken heed unto, this earthly part is wrought out, the daily cross is taken up, the fear of the Lord grows, the true wisdom increaseth, the errors of the wicked are discovered and made manifest, the unjust comes to suffer, the just comes to reign, the wisdom of the world comes to be confounded, than the Heathen begin to rage, than tumults arise. And dwelling in the light, all Sects, and all Opinions, and Religions are discovered, and stand naked before the Lord, and before all who are of God, and seen with the eternal eye, which all ariseth out of the earthly part, and the earth is but one, and all they do raise their ground from the letter, which is given forth from the power. Now the power dwelling in it in the eternal light, all Sects and Opinions come to be judged and overturned, and seen to be chaff, and is for the fire to be burned with that which cannot be quenched, for the light is but one, which is Christ, who enlighteneth every one, and all are enlightened with one light, every one taking heed to that light which Christ hath enlightened you withal; it leads you out of Sects, out of Form, out of the beauty of the world, to live in life and power; and waiting in the light which Christ hath enlightened you withal, you come to be Disciples of jesus Christ, and servants to the truth, and not to serve the lusts, nor the desires, nor pleasures, but the light it judgeth them, for serving the desires and the lust, thou turns into the beastly nature into the world, and into the flesh, and comes to be darkened and vailed, than thy throat is an open sepulchre, that thou drinkest up iniquity as it were water; but dwelling in the light, it judgeth all that, and all thy works, and actions come to be judged by that light, and all walking in this light which Christ hath enlightened you with, you all walking in unity and oneness of mind, and say away all guile, sin, and uncleanness, and all taught to fear the Lord God; and it will lead you to the Church in God, from the Church in the world, and from your Teachers, to cease from men, to be taught alone of God, who teacheth eternal things eternally; and leads the mind up out of external things; and dwelling in the light, there's no occasion at all of stumbling, for all things are discovered with the light; thou that loves it, here's thy teacher, when thou art walking abroad, its present with thee in thy bosom, thou need not say, Lo here, or lo there, and as thou liest in bed its present to teach thee, and judge thy wand'ring mind which would wander abroad, and thy high thoughts and imaginations, and makes them subject, for following thy thoughts thou art quickly lost; dwelling in this light, it will discover to thee the body of sin, and thy corruptions, and fallen Estate where thou art, and multitude of thoughts; in that light which shows thee all this, stand: go neither to the right hand, nor to the left; here's patience exercised, here's thy will subjected, here thou wilt see the mercies of God made manifest in death: here thou wilt see the drink of the Water of Shiloah, which run softly, and the promises of God fulfilled, which are to the Seed, which Seed is Christ: here thou wilt find a Saviour, and the Election thou wilt come to know, and the Reprobation, and what is cast out from God, and what enters: he that can own me here, and receive me into his heart, the immortal seed is borne up, and thy own will thrust forth, for it is not him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but the Election obtaineth it, and God that shows mercy: for the first step of peace is to stand still in the light, which discovers things contrary to it, for power and strength to stand against that nature which the light discovers: here grace grows, here's God alone glorified and exalted, and the unknown truth, unknown to the world, made manifest, which draws up that which lies in the Prison, and refresheth it in time, up to God out of time, through time. Whom God loves, he loves to the end, where the eternal unity is, where is all Peace, all clean, no jar, who are all of one mind, hid from the world's wisdom, knowledge, and comprehension, and thoughts can never enter, as it is written, the World by wisdom knows not God, and he is coming to comfound the wisdom of the wise. And the Church in God, is not in imitation, gathered from the letter, and a high-flowne People in their imaginations, but are them who are born again of the Immortal Seed, by the Word of God, which lives and endures for ever, which the world knows not; for the Word cuts asunder, hews down all wickedness, corruption, pride, and the honour of man, that all the honour and glory may be given alone to God; he hews down the first, that he may establish the second, and raise up the second; and the Word of the Lord is a fire, burns up all the corruptions, burns up all that it has hewn down, and as a hammer to beat down, that nothing can stand it; and this is the word by which the Saints are borne again; you are borne again by the immortal word, which lives and endures for ever, and feeding upon the milk of the Word, which Word is God, which Word became flesh, and dwelled among us; so he is the head of the Church, and they are lively stones; but all you now, who put the letter of the word, and have gotten it in your minds, and gather assemblies by it; this you cannot witness, and it is blasphemy for you to say, the letter is not the Word, when the letter saith, God is the word; and it is a lie, to speak and say the Steeplehouse is the Church: or to say, them that are gathered by the Form of the letter, is the Church of God: for the Church is the Pillar, and Ground of Truth, gathered by the Eternal Power, before letter was; and all who are in this Church, as it is called of the world, and live in the comprehension of the letter, and the earthly part yet standing, there is devilishness in your minds, and earthliness, and pride, and filth; and do but hearken to that in thy conscience, and it will let thee see so: and while that is standing, such sacrifice God accepts not; and praises, while the first nature is standing, God accepts not, which is cain's, which God has no respect but to Abel's: And God is coming to judge the great Whore, all manner of Opinions, and all manner of Sects and Fellowships, as you call them, and all manner of Forms, several, as every one lives in, God is coming to overturn and overthrow, for they all lodge in her; all the Foundation of them is in the Earth, and Earthly wisdom, gathered in the Earthly nature, he will overturn them, that he may establish his own truth, his own truth in righteousness, his own Kingdom. Now the stone cut out of the mountain without hands, gins to strike at the Feet of the Image, that the head of Gold gins to fall, and the breast of Silver, and thighs of Brass, and Feet part Iron, and part Day, and his Dominion is a Dominion for ever, over all. And all who dwells not in this light which Christ hath enlightened you withal, you will be found too light, for he is coming to weigh all things in his balance; and before him the Hills shall move, and the mountains shall melt, and the rocks shall cleave, who measures the water in the hollow of his hand, and his thunders begin to utter their Voices, that the mysteries of God may be opened, and the carnal heart rend; great Earthquakes shall be, the terrible day of the Lord draws need, the Beast shall be taken, and the false Prophet, into the fire they must go, for the Beast and false Prophet hath gone together, that one has holden up the other. Now is the Lord coming to sit as Judge, and reign as King, who is the Lawgiver which shall go forth of Zion. Now shall Zion arise and thresh to beat the hills, and thresh the mountains; now is the Sword drawn, which glitters, and is furbished, the Sword of the Almighty, to hue down Baal's Priests, corrupt Judges, corrupt justices, corrupt Lawyers, fruitless Trees which cumber the ground. Drunkard, thou canst not hid thyself; cursed speaker, thou canst not hid thyself; Whoremonger, thou canst not hid thyself. Awake, awake all people every where who live informs; see what ye possess: nothaving that eternal spirit that gave forth the Scriptures, all your Formal Prayers, Formal Preaching, Formal sing will be found as the chaff, which is for the unquenchable fire; for Christ is risen, the true light shines, the glory of the Lord appears, and you are discovered to him, to be empty of that eternal spirit to be borne up in your understandings, which gave forth the Scriptures, I am the light which enlighteneth every one, that light you hate, and all who hate this light, set up teachers without them; but all who loves this light, it is of God, and teacheth to God, which is a cross to all the world, and this light it is in every one, waiting in it to receive Christ; and as many as receive Christ; to them he gives power to become the sons of God, which are not born of the will of man, nor by the will of man, but of the will of God; but these are them who are out of imitations, and have no Images, nor no likeness of truth, but are in it, and possess it; Glory, glory to the Lord God for ever, who governs his people, and is the head of the Church; Christ is the head of the man, God is the head of Christ; he that can receive this, if he had not known the letter, let him, he is come before the letter was written. In the beginning was the Word.  
To all you that hate the light, your deeds are evil: Christ saith, He is the light of the world, and enlighteneth every one that comes into the world: The one he loves the light, and brings his works to the light, and walks in it, there is no occasion of stumbling in him: The other he hates the light, and will not bring his works to the light to be made manifest, because his deeds are evil, and the light will reprove him. Thou that saith, this light is natural, thou art a blasphemer; and thou that saith, Christ doth not enlighten every one that comes into the world, thou art a liar, and denier of Christ's words, and lies waste the Scripture; and thou that saith this light is natural, thou puts the letter for the light, which is natural, true it is darkness cannot comprehend this light; but the light makes manifest darkness, and this is the condemnation of the world, the light: thou that hatest this light thou hast it. Christ saith, Swear not at all, this light will say the same to thee, in thee. Christ saith, He that lusteth after a Woman, committeth adultery with her in his heart: this light will tell thee the same, bringing thy works to it, and loving it. Christ cried woe against the Pharisee, the hypocrite; this light will let thee see the same. Christ will say, Go ye cursed workers of iniquity, this light will say the same to thee, in thee, who art a worker of iniquity; here shalt thou be condemned with the light, and judged with the light, out of thy own mouth; this light will let thee see all thy hard speeches, thy venomous thoughts, thy evil intentions, and thy covetous desires which is Idolatry, and all dissembling and deceit to be works of darkness, & let thee see that all those things are evil; there thou hast learned thy condemnation, there is thy teacher, that would teach thee to know God, there is thy condemnation hating that light, it will condemn thee from him: Thou wilt say, thou knowest in thy conscience that drunkenness is sin, here thou lovest darkness rather than the light that shows it thee, and lying, and swearing, and cursed speaking is sin, and yet thou followest it, and pleasures, there thou lovest darkness, rather than the light that shows thee them, because thy deeds are evil, and there thou hast learned thy condemnation, when God's righteousness shall be revealed in flames of fire, thou shalt witness I speak truth. Thou knowest theft is sin, and all unrighteousness God forbids, thou wilt see something in thy conscience tells thee so; if thou harken to that it will exercise thy conscience, and bring thee to repentance. Christ saith, I call sinners to repentance, that in thee calls thee to repentance, and if thou hearkenest to that, thou hearkens to Christ, and if thou hate that, thou hates Christ, and God, than thou turns into the sorcery, into all uncleanness, and then God is not in thy thoughts, and then thou art the disobedient one, which disobeys the light, which God hath enlightened thee with, and there the wrath of God abides on thee, and the Prince of the Air rules in thee, as he doth in all the children of disobedience, who hates this light. Now do not think that I hold freewill here, man's freewill speak of that which is contrary to man's will, & loving the light it will keep your wills from running, and your wills from willing any thing, and keeps it in subjection; but thou that hates this light, and makes a profession of God and Christ, and saith, the letter is the word, and the four Books Matthew, Mark, Luke and john, is the Gospel, thou knowest not Christ, which is glad tidings, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world; for the letter takes not away sin; and thou that sayest, thou had not come to repentance, if thou had not known letter, thou deniest Christ, who comes to call sinners to repentance before letter was, but it is he that calls to repentance sinners, and not the letter; but the letter is a declaration of the word, the husks, God is the word; and it is a declaration of the light, Christ is the light, and a declaration of the Spirit; but the spirit is not in it a declaration of power, but the power is not in it; the power, and the life, and the light, was in them that spoke it forth, which ever the world hated; therefore waiting in the light which Christ hath enlightened you with, that's Scripture within you, and that will open the Scriptures according as you grow in the light, the Saints conditions, as you are sanctified, and as you are cleansed and made free with the Son of God, for it is he that makes free; who are made free from sin, from the world are made free by the Son of God; and blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath raised him from the dead, and by him raised up from the dead.  
And to you that tempt God, and say, the Lord give us a sight of our sins, Priests and People, does not the light which Christ hath enlightened you with, let you see your sin, that lying and swearing, cursed speaking, theft and murder, & whoredom, and covetousness, and pride, and lust, and pleasures, all these to be the works of the flesh, and fruits of darkness: this light within you lets you see it, so you need not tempt God to give you a sight of your sins, for ye know enough, and waiting in the light, power and strength will be given to you; for they that wait upon the Lord their strength, shall be renewed, and living in the light, and walking up to God, it will bring you to true hunger and thirst after righteousness, that you may receive the blessing from God, and give over tempting of God, to give you a sight of your sins. And to all ye that say, God give us grace, and we shall refrain from our sin, there ye have got a tempting customary word, for the free grace of God hath appeared to all men, and this is the grace of God which shows thee ungodliness and worldly lusts: Now thou that livest in ungodliness, lying, and swearing, and theft, end murder, and drunkenness, and filthy pleasures and lusting after the world, thou art he that turns the free grace of God into wantonness, and casts his law behind thy back, and walkest despitefully against the spirit of grace; here the Scripture is fulfilled upon thee, oh vain man, yet thou canst say, God is merciful; he is merciful and just, and that shalt thou see, when destruction comes upon thee; for thou canst say God is merciful, yet lives in thy wickedness, passing on thy time without fear of God, sporting thyself in thy wickedness. Oh ye covetous proud Priests, which deceives the Nations, who mind earthly things, whose God is your belly, who glory in your shame, enemies of the Cross of Christ, your destruction is coming, that ye shall not make a prey upon the people any longer, the Lord hath spoken it.  
Oh ye great men, and rich men of the earth, weep and howl for your misery is coming, who heaps up treasures for the last day; your gold and silver shall eat you up as the rust and the canker; the fire is kindled, the day of the Lord is appearing, a day of howling will be amongst your Fat Bulls of Bashan, that all the tall Cedars and strong Oaks must be hewn down, and all the loftiness of men must be laid low, then shall the Lord alone be exalted.  
The free grace of God is the Saints teacher, which teacheth them to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live righteously and godly, like God, in this evil present world, denying all the world's lusts, and world's ways, and world's teachers, and works of darkness, which grace is turned into wantonness, by those who follow the course of the world; and the works of darkness, drunkenness and uncleanness, and such are they who cannot abide sound doctrine, which heap up teachers, having itching ears. And all who turn this grace of God into wantonness, deny it to teach them, and they live in their worldly lusts and ungodliness. Oh how doth the Land mourn because of Oaths? Oaths are heard in the streets openly belched forth. Oh how doth the pride and haughtiness of Men and Women abound, scarce know how to walk in the streets? Oh how doth oppression and tyranny rule, that the cries of the poor are entered into the Ear of the Lord of Sabbaths? Oh how doth drunkenness and drunkards walk abroad in the streets, which devours the creatures? The Lord is rising, and surely he will be avenged of all his Adversaries: he is come to sweep the Land of evil doers, that the earth shall yield her increase, and the Land enjoy her Sabbaths: and he will sit as Judge, and righteousness shall run down our streets, and God alone be magnified and glorified, to whom it alone belongs for ever. Oh how doth all the creation groan under this bondage of corruption? the Lord is pouring out his spirit upon all flesh, that his sons and daughters may prophesy up and down this great City, and none shall make them afraid, crying for justice, crying for righteousness, crying for equity: for the cry of the great whore is come up before the Lord, who is adulterated from the truth, they who hate this light, hate Christ, which is the Husband, and goes from him: they who love the light, have the Husband, which is Christ: but the judgement of the great Whore is come, who made all Nations to drink of the Cup of her Fornication, who must drink of the cup of the indignation of the wrath of God poured out without mixture, who must have it filled double. Rejoice, rejoice all ye Prophets and holy men of God, triumph in glory: sing aloud praises to the Lord God Almighty and omnipotent, who is come to reign: rejoice over the world, over the false Prophets, over the Beast, over the Whore, which is adulterated from the light, and tells all her lovers that the light is natural, and so denies the husband Christ jesus, and lives in Fornication: but all who loves the light, and walks in the light, witness Jesus Christ to be the Husband, and this light to be spiritual. Now she is convinced of her Adultery, of her witchcraft, of her sorcery, and that which doth convince her is the light which Christ hath enlightened her with, and this is her condemnation. And now the judgement of the great Whore is come, God will be avenged on her, who has drunk the blood of all his Saints, who dwelled in the light, and loved the light.  
All who hate this light, they set up to be their light, such as are called of men Masters, have the chiefest places in the Assemblies, stand making long Prayers, lay heavy burdens upon the people, which devour widows houses, the widow has not a husband, all are widows who are devoured of such; but who loves the light which Christ hath enlightened them with, it joins them to Christ, and then they witness him to be their Husband, and such are not devoured of them. And who hate this light, hold up them who bear rule by their means, which jeremy, who dwelled in the light, was sent to cry out against. And they that hate the light, hold up them that cry for their gain from their quarter, and never have enough; which Isaiah who dwelled in the light, was sent to cry out against. And they that hate the light, go after the error of Balaam, and hold up such who love the wages of unrighteousness; and all who hate this light have the spirit of error; and they that dwell in the light, know the spirit of error, and what the spirit of error follows. And all who hate this light, hold up the hirelings that Micha cried against, and such as call for the Fleece, and  themselves with the wool, that Ezeki●l cried against, who was in the light and full of the spirit. Now where the same light is made manifest, as was in the Prophets which saw Christ the light; & the Apostles in the same light, which gave forth the Scripture, all the Scripture is witnessed; and here we are grounded upon the Prophets, upon the Apostles, and Christ the corner stone, in the eternal light, by which we see the Priests bear rule by their means now, and seek for their gain from their quarter now, and are greedy dumb dogs now, nay, worse than Balaam, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, but durst not take it; but these sue men at the Law for it: worse than Simon Magus, who would have bought the spirit; but these sell the letter: this corrupt doctrine hath long reigned, but now is made manifest, and in this light we see the hirelings that Preach peace, but he that puts not in their mouths, they prepare war against him, and by which light, we see teachers who profess they are sent of Christ to be in the seat of the Scribes and Pharisees, and are called of men Masters, and have the chiefest places, going in their long robes, love salutation in the Markets, have the uppermost seats at Feasts, and under pretence making long Prayers, devouring widows houses, which Christ cried woe against, & such we cannot own as sent of Christ, nor hold up, for if we should, we should deny the Scriptures, and hold up that which Christ forbids; and if we should hold up them who rule by their means, we should deny jeremiah to be a true Prophet, who cried against such; and if we should hold up such as cry for gain from their quarter, we should deny Isaiah, who was sent to cry against such: and if we should hold up such as go for gifts and rewards, who love the wages of unrighteousness, we should deny the Apostle, who cried against such; for the same light is manifest, praised be the Lord God, by which they are seen, and cannot be owned, but must be denied, as they were by the Prophets, by Christ, by the Hpostles; and if we should hold up such that say, Revelations are ceased, we should deny the Son, as they do, for none knows the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son reveals him, and so we deny those to know any thing of Christ, or to be sent of Christ, which deny the Son, and deny revelations; for the Apostle, which was a Minister of God, he was not a Minister of Christ, till the Son was revealed in him, and then he Preached him, and Preached the Kingdom of God, so all who deny Revelations, deny the Son and the Father both, and live in their imaginations of the letter: And the Apostle exhorts the Saints to have the loins of their minds girded up, and hope to the end, for the grace that was to be brought to them at the revelation of jesus Christ; now he was a Minister, and did exhort to wait for the revelation of jesus Christ: but now, thou that denies revelations, dost declare thyself openly to be no Minister, and raceth thy sdlf out from among the Ministers of Christ, and thou goest in the ways of Cain, thou art razed out from Abel, for in thy heart lodgeth persecution, and thy mouth utters it, and thy hand acts it. And you that speak a Divination of your own heart, art razed out from them who speak from the mouth of the Lord, for the Prophets of the Lord cried out ever against such, and so they do now: and ye that seek for gain from your quarter, are they that are razed out from the true Prophets of God; they cried out against you, and the same light cries out against you now, otherwise the Prophets should be made of none effect, for they spoke forth freely, and so they do now that speak forth the same light; the light is free which hath enlightened every one that comes into the world; thou that hates it, has learned thy condemnation; it lets thee see all the evil deeds of thy heart. And the Gospel is free to every creature, not to be bought and sold for money: Oh shameless men, that tell people the letter is the word, and buy and sell it for money, which is but a declaration of the word, and the grace is free, which hath appeared to all men, which is the Saints teacher, and you need not have any teacher if you own the grace, which shows your ungodliness and worldly lusts: this grace will teach you to deny it, and the light which hath enlightened every one that comes into the world, there's every one of your condemations in particular that hates it; and there's every one of your teachers that loves it, which is but one, and will open all the Figures and the Parables, and Types to you: and waiting in it, it will guide you to God, there is your teacher, there is your condemnation: every one of you shall eternally witness me, to that which exerciseth your consciences do I speak, for now the mighty day of the Lord is coming, meet him, by putting off your works of darkness. God that made the world, and all things in it, dwells not in Temples made with hands, neither will be worshipped with men's inventions: but Israel, when he had forgotten his Maker, builded Temples; and judah builded fenced Cities: but the Lord will send a fire to devour them, and all your Songs shall be turned into Mourning, the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Oh then, all ye that profess, see that you possess, and profess no more than you are.
