perishing things, the end of all changeable things, the end of the
decaying covenant, the end of that which waxeth old and doth decay;
the end of the first covenant, of Moses, and of the prophets; the
righteousness of God, Christ Jesus the Son; his throne ye will know,
heirs with him ye will be; who makes his children kings and priests to
him, and brings them to know his throne and his power.
“There is no justification out of the light, out of Christ;
justification is in the light in Christ; here is the doer of the will
of God, here is the entering into the kingdom. He that believes in the
light, becomes a child of light; and here the wisdom is received that
is justified of her children. Here believing in the light, you shall
not abide in darkness, but shall have the light of life; and come
every one to witness the light that shines in your hearts, which light
will give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the
face of Jesus Christ. With which light you will see him reign, who is
the prince of life and of peace; which light turns from him, that is
out of the truth, and abode not in it; where the true peace is not.
“Friends, be not hasty; for he that believes in the light, makes not
haste. Here the grace is received, by which you come to be saved; the
election is known, which obtains the promise; the will is seen that
wills; the mind is known that runs and obtains not, but stops and
becomes dull. Now, that with the light being seen, and judged, and
stopped, the patience is here known which obtains the crown, and the
immortality is come to light. So all they now that act contrary to the
light, and do not believe in it, do not come to justification. And,
all Friends, if you go from the light, from wanting to have the
promise of God fulfilled to the Seed, whereby you may know Christ to
reign, you thereby bring on yourselves changeable garments, and come
to wear the changeable garments, and the strange flesh, which leads to
adultery, which the law goes upon, which shuts out of the kingdom: and
out of this will doth proceed the work or building, that is for the
fire; whereby you may come to suffer loss. Therefore love the light,
which doth condemn that, and receive the power from the Lord, with
which you stand over that, and condemn it: feeling and seeing that
which gives you the victory over the world, and to see out of time, to
before time.
