Friends, go not into the aggravating part to strive with it, lest ye do hurt to your souls and run into the same nature. For patience must get the victory and answers to that of God in every one which will bring every one from the contrary. (_Works_, VII., p. 109.) Strife and Debate. Where any goeth into the contention he is from the pure. For where any goeth into the contention if anything by him before hath been begotten then that doth get atop and spoil that which was begotten and quench his own prophesy. So if he be not subjected with the power in the particular which would arise into the strife, that is dangerous. (C. J., I., p. 319.) Boasting and Vapouring. None must be light, out, wild. For the seed of God that is weighty and brings solid and into the wisdom of God by which is the wisdom of the creation known. Now that which runs into the imaginations and that part standing in which the imaginations come up, the pure not quite come up through to rule and reign, then that will run out, then that will glory; and so he hath spoiled that which opened to him and will boast and vapour, which is for condemnation. (C. J., I., pp. 319, 320.) Heady Stuff. With the heart man doth believe, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation; first, he has it in his heart, before it comes out of his mouth, and this is beyond that brain-beaten--heady stuff which man has long studied, about the saints' words which holy men of God spake forth as they were moved by the holy ghost: so the holy ghost moved them before they came forth and spake them. (_Works_, VIII., p. 19.) Hypocrisy. For many are crept in unawares, who are self-ended, slow-bellies, who love this world more than the cross of Christ, who are got high in the form and have great swelling words which they can utter for their advantage in earthly things, deceiving the simple therewith. (_Works_, VII., p. 60.) Saying and Doing. For there are children of darkness that will talk of the light and of the truth and not walk in it. (_Journal_, 8th ed., I., p. 60.) All they which preached faith and made shipwreck of faith, were and are still, denied. All such as preach the light and walk in darkness, and preach the spirit (the fruits of which are love and peace) and are in enmity, were never owned by God, nor Christ, nor good men, though they may be called Christians. All such as cry, Lord, Lord, and preach Christ, Christ, and do not his will, enter not into his kingdom themselves, and into it they can bring none. They are deceivers of their own souls and they may deceive others with their good words; but such cannot be reconciled to God, neither can they bring others to reconciliation with God.
