Mind every one that which is of God in you, to teach you to walk to God and before him; and as it teacheth you and enlightens your understandings it will teach you how to direct others and so to judge of things eternal so far as that is borne up in your understandings which is eternal, and as everyone hath a measure, so every one to prove his talent and not limit God to learned men (as hath long been) which have learned but their natural languages, so their original ground and religion is external, their word and light is external and their gifts and preachings is an external gift and they go to you magistrates who hath an external law to uphold them in their external ministry. For your law doth alter and exchange, which is external. Now that which is external, with it to judge things eternal cannot be, (but limit God). For he that hath the first gift of God hath that which is perfect and that which is perfect is eternal, and such hath a discerning to know the gift of God from the gift of man. (C. J., I., pp. 96, 97.) Walking in this light it enlightens your consciences and understandings, walking in it you have union one with another. For the light is but one which will discover all imagined light, false worships, ways and churches and draw you up to the church in God the fountain of light. (C. J., I., p. 97.) Hating the Light. Wait all in the light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withal, that with the light you may see Christ Jesus from whence it comes and may receive power from Christ who hath all power in heaven and earth given to him which if ye have the light and do not believe in it which ye are enlightened withal which light lets you see, mark, the light lets you see your deeds whether they be wrought in God or no ... but hating this light, which lets see it, will be your condemnation. (C. J., I., p. 83.) Dwelling in the Light. Keep down, keep low, that nothing may rule nor reign but life itself. (C. J., Vol. I., p. 322.) All friends to be kept cool and quiet in the power of the Lord God and all that is contrary will be subjected, the lamb hath the victory, the seed is the patience. (_Ibid._) Oh therefore let not the mind go forth from God; for if it do it will be stained, venomed and corrupted. If the mind go forth from the Lord it is hard to bring it in again; therefore take heed of the enemy, and keep in the faith of Christ. To live and walk in the spirit of God is joy and peace and life; but the mind going forth into the creatures or into any visible things from the Lord, this bringeth death.
