<HEAD>What the &V;nchangable GOD is, and how all People may know him, and in what he is Wor&s;hiped and Served.</HEAD>
<P>THe Lord <HI>hath mea&s;ur'd the waters in the hol|low of his hand;</HI> So the Lord the Uncom|parable God knoweth the mea&s;ures of the waters in the Seas, Brooks, Rivers, Wells and Ponds, for he hath mea&s;ured them, &s;o they are mea&s;ured in the hollow of his Infinite hand, and the uncomparable God with his Infinite hand <HI>hath meted out heaven with his Span,</HI> (Mark <HI>he hath meted it out</HI>) &s;o he knoweth the Breadth and the Compa&s;s of it with his Infinite &s;pan of his great hand, and the Lord hath comprehended <HI>the du&s;t of the earth in a mea&s;ure,</HI> &s;o the Uncomparable God knoweth the mea&s;ure of the du&s;t of the Earth, and the Lord <HI>hath weighed the Mountains in Scales and the hills in a Ballance,</HI> So the Lord who hath weighed them knoweth the weight both of the hills and Mountains, <HI>Behold the Nations are but as the drop of a Bucket, and are counted as the &s;mall du&s;t of the Earth, Behold he taketh up the I&s;les as a very little thing, to whom then will ye liken God, or what Likene&s;s will ye compare him to,</HI> who is the Infinite Uncomparable God, as in <HI>I&s;ai:</HI> 40. <HI>In the
<PB N="2" REF="2">Lords hand is the Soul of every Living thing and the Breath of all mankind,</HI> Job: 12.10.</P>
<P>So here you may &s;ee and feel the Lords hand is nigh unto all Men and Women in the whole World, and in them, if their Soul and Breath be in his hand, here you may &s;ee the Eternal Infinite hand of the Uncomparable God in who&s;e hand is <HI>the Soul of every Living thing, and the breath of all mankind</HI> in the whole World, for <HI>God breathed into man the breath of Life, and he became a Living &s;oul,</HI> God who is Immortal hath the breath of all (and all Immortal Souls) in his hand, and none can fall out of his Eternal hand without his Eternal Will.</P>
<P><HI>The Spirit of God hath made me and Breath of the Almighty hath given me Life,</HI> Job. 33.4. and <HI>Daniel</HI> told <HI>Bel&s;hazer</HI> the King how that he lifted up his &s;elf again&s;t the Lord God of Heaven <HI>in who&s;e hand is thy breath,</HI> Dan. 5.23.</P>
<P>And the Apo&s;tle &s;aith, <HI>God that made the World and all things therein he is Lord of Heaven and Earth, dwelleth not in Temples made with hands, neither is he wor&s;hipped with the works of mens hands asthough he needed any thing, and hath made of one Blood all Nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the Earth, and he giveth to all Life and Breath and all things</HI> &amp;c. <HI>that they &s;hould &s;eek the
<PB N="3" REF="2">Lord if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he be not far from every one of us, for in him we live and move and have our being,</HI> Acts 17.24 to 28.</P>
<P>Here again you may &s;ee how God gives Life and Breath unto all, who hath it in his hand, and he would have all to know him and &s;erve him, and that he is nigh unto them all, who hath their Breath and Soul in his hand; &s;o then he is nigh unto all that they might know that they live, move and have their being in the Lord, who <HI>poureth out of his Spirit upon all fle&s;h, that all fle&s;h might &s;ee his glory, and &s;ee the &s;alvation of God,</HI> I&s;ai. 43. Luk. 3.6. Acts 2.17. For the Lord poureth out of his Spirit upon all fle&s;h, that in his Spirit and in truth all might know God, and &s;erve him, and wor&s;hip him in his Spirit and truth for &s;uch Spiritual Wor&s;hipers God who is an Infi|nite Holy Spirit, &s;eeks to Wor&s;hip him. Now it is and hath been often &s;aid by the Prie&s;ts that are bred up at Schooles and Colledges that <HI>the Prie&s;ts Lips &s;hould pre&s;erve</HI> peoples <HI>knowledge and they &s;hould &s;eek the Law at his Mouth;</HI> I an&s;wer that the&s;e were the Jews Prie&s;ts that were made by the Law of a Carnal Commandment in the Old Te&s;tament and Old Covenant; but <HI>Chri&s;t was made a Prie&s;t after the power of an endle&s;s Life</HI> in the New Te&s;tament &amp;
<PB N="4" REF="3">new Covenant, who came of <HI>Judah</HI> and is called <HI>the</HI> I <HI>you of the Tribe of</HI> Judah, <HI>and not after the Order of</HI> Aaron who offered Rams and Lambs and Bullocks and other Creatures but <HI>after the Order of</HI> Mel|chi&s;adeck, from <HI>Malack</HI> a King, <HI>Chi&s;adeck Ju&s;t or Righteous,</HI> &s;o a Ju&s;t and Righteous King. Of whom we do not Read that he offered up outward Crea|tures as <HI>Aarons</HI> Prie&s;thood did, tho he offered up Prai&s;es to God when he met <HI>Abraham.</HI></P>
<P>But Chri&s;t hath changed the Prie&s;thood of <HI>Aaron,</HI> and the Law by which they were made and di&s;&s;anulled the Commandment which gave him his Tythes; as you may &s;ee in <HI>Heb.</HI> 7.</P>
<P>Now you that do &s;ay the Jewes Prie&s;ts that are made by the Law; their <HI>Lips are to pre&s;erve</HI> Peo|ples <HI>knowledge, and they are to receive the Law at his Mouth,</HI> this Law &s;erved until Chri&s;t the Seed came. <HI>Gala.</HI> 3.10. <HI>Who is the end of the Law for Righteou&s;ne&s;s to every one that believes.</HI> Rom. 10.4. And in the Old Te&s;tament and Covenant God gave the Jewes a Law in Tables of Stone, but in the New Te&s;tament and new Covenant; God &s;aith, <HI>I will put my Law in their Minds and write it in their hearts, and I will be their God and they &s;hall be my People, and they &s;hall not teach every man his Neighbour and every man his Brother, &s;aying, know the Lord, for all &s;hall know me from the lea&s;t to the greate&s;t &s;aith the Lord,</HI> Heb. 7.10, 11.</P>
<PB N="5" REF="3">
<P>So you may &s;ee here is no need of the Jewes Prie&s;ts Lips, &amp;c. to pre&s;erve Peoples knowledge, and to receive the Law at their Mouths, and to give them Tythes for receiving the Law, for Chri&s;t hath changed the Prie&s;thood and the Law; by which it was made, and di&s;&s;anulled the Commandment that gave him his tythes, and &s;aith in his New Te&s;tament to his Mini&s;ters, <HI>Freely ye have receiv|ed freely give,</HI> and in the New Covenant and New Te&s;tament the Lord puts it in their minds and writes it in their hearts, that they &s;hall not need to teach every man his Neighbour and every man his Brother &s;aying know the Lord; and Chri&s;t Je&s;us the trea&s;ure of Wi&s;dom and Knowledge, <HI>for all &s;hall know me from the Lea&s;t to the Greate&s;t &s;aith the Lord,</HI> So this Law that God writes in their hearts and puts in their minds gives them knowledge to know the Lord, &s;o this Law they receive from the Lord and not from the Colledge Prie&s;ts and the Jewes Prie&s;ts in the Old Te&s;tament.</P>
<P>And the Lord poured his Spirit upon the hou&s;e of I&s;rael &amp; the hou&s;e of Judah in the Old Te&s;tament, but it is &s;aid in <HI>Joel</HI> 2. <HI>that God would poure his Spirit upon all fle&s;h,</HI> &amp;c, and after Chri&s;t was ri&s;en the Di&s;ciples and the Believers were met together, and the Jewes came gazing upon them, and <HI>others mocked and &s;aid they were full of new Wine,</HI> and
<PB N="6" REF="4"><HI>Peter</HI> and the Eleven told them <HI>that they were not drunk as they &s;uppo&s;ed, &s;eeing it was but the third hour of the Day, but this is that which was &s;poken by</HI> Joel <HI>the Prophet, It &s;hall come to pa&s;s in the la&s;t dayes &s;aith the Lord that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all fle&s;h, and your Sons and your Daugh|ters &s;hall Prophe&s;ie, and your young men &s;hall &s;ee Vi&s;ions: and your Old Men &s;hall dream Dreams, and on my Servants and on my Handmaids, I will pour in tho&s;e dayes out of my Spirit, &amp; they &s;hall Prophe&s;ie,</HI> Act. 2 13. <HI>to the</HI> 18.</P>
<P>Here you may &s;ee the Spirit that God poureth upon all Fle&s;h gives people knowledge of Prophe|&s;ies and of Dreams, and of Vi&s;ions, &s;o the Spirit of God, That God poureth upon all fle&s;h in the new New Te&s;tament and new Covenant gives them knowledge that they need not the Prie&s;ts lips in the Old Te&s;tament to pre&s;erve their knowledge, and People will not peri&s;h for lack of Vi&s;ions, if they mind the Spirit of God that he hath poured upon them, and <HI>the Spirit of Truth will lead them into all Truth,</HI> but if Sons and Daughters and Hand|maids, and Sevants, and Old men, do rebel again&s;t the Spirit of God; that he poureth upon them in the New Te&s;tament, as the Jews did in the Old Te&s;tament, for God gave them his good Spirit, but they rebelled again&s;t it, then tho&s;e goes from the
<PB N="7" REF="4">Key of Knowledge both Jewes and Chri&s;tians, and all Fle&s;h, And the Jews Prie&s;ts when they went from the Spirit of God they neither pre&s;erved the Peoples knowledge nor their own, and became Deaf and blind, and turned again&s;t the Prophets Chri&s;t and the Apo&s;tles, though they might make an outward painting of the Sepulchres of the Righ|teous; in an outward Profe&s;&s;ion of words and turn again&s;t the Righteous.</P>
<P>So now all fle&s;h Jewes and Gentiles and all Chri&s;tendom whom God hath poured out of his Spirit upon, if they rebel again&s;t Gods good Spirit &amp; err from it, and quench it, and vex it, they are be|come a whore from God and Chri&s;t, and his Spirit, and have neither true Vi&s;ions, nor true Prophe&s;ies, nor true Dreams, and are a <HI>Babilon</HI> all in heaps and Confu&s;ion, and cannot wor&s;hip the Eternal God in his Spirit, and in his truth, and are out of the Unity and the Fellow&s;hip in the Spirit, which is the bond of Peace, and &s;o <HI>have not Fellow&s;hip with the Father and the Son, nor fellow&s;hip one with another,</HI> but are broken into Sects and heaps one again&s;t another, whereas the Spiritual, that walk in the Spirit, are in the Spirit the Bond of Peace, and are in fellow&s;hip with the Father and the Son and one with another, and Wor&s;hip and &s;erve the Living God in his Spirit and truth.</P>
