“Therefore I am to warn and advise you, both high and low, priests
and people, to come to the grace, light and truth, that comes by
Jesus Christ; to the manifestation of the good Spirit of God,
which is given to you to profit withal; that with this grace, and
truth, light, and Spirit of Christ, you may turn to Christ Jesus,
from whence it comes, who saith, ‘Learn of me;’ and God saith,
‘This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.’ So all the children of the
new covenant, that walk in the new and living way, hear Christ
their Prophet, that God has raised up, and anointed to be their
Teacher and Priest. So now, God doth speak to his people by his
Son, as he did in the apostles’ days. The Lord is come to teach
his people himself by his grace, light, truth, and Spirit, and to
bring them off all the world’s teachers that are made by men since
the apostles’ days; who have kept people always learning, that
they may be always paying them. He is come to bring them off all
the world’s religions, to the religion that he set up in the
apostles’ days, in the new covenant, which is pure and undefiled
before God in his sight, and keeps from the spots of the world,
&c. And the Lord is come to bring them off all the world’s
churches, to the church in God, which Christ the heavenly man is
head of; and to bring them off all the world’s worships, to
worship God in Spirit and in truth, which Christ set up above
sixteen hundred years since. So all men and women must come to the
Spirit and truth in their hearts, by which they must know the God
of truth, who is a Spirit; and then in the Spirit and in truth
they will worship him, and know what and whom they worship. Also
the Lord is come to bring his people off all the world’s temples,
that with the Spirit they may know their bodies to be the temples
of the Holy Ghost. And the Lord is come to bring his people off
all the world’s crosses, pictures, images, and likenesses, to know
that the power of God is the cross of Christ, which crucifies them
to the world, and brings them up into the likeness and image of
God, that man and woman were in before they fell; and so to Christ
that never fell.
