AN
EPISTLE
To
all
such
as
observe
the
Seventh-day
of
the
Week
for
A
SABBATH
TO
THE
LORD
.
FRIENDS
,
IN
true
love
to
your
souls
,
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
I
have
a
few
things
to
lay
before
you
,
that
the
simplicity
in
you
may
not
be
deceived
,
and
yee
err
from
the
way
of
life
,
while
yee
may
be
eagerly
seeking
and
pressing
towards
it
:
For
notwithstanding
that
,
if
with
the
wrong
eye
yee
be
searching
into
Scripture
,
ye
must
needs
mis-read
,
mis-understand
,
and
mispractice
;
and
so
thereby
will
still
be
running
further
and
further
from
God
,
even
while
yee
think
yee
are
drawing
nigher
towards
him
.
Be
perswaded
therefore
seriously
to
consider
(
out
of
the
wisdome
from
which
God
hides
,
in
the
Babish
simplicity
of
his
begetting
,
where
the
true
life
springs
)
these
few
things
following
.
1.
That
the
whole
Law
of
Moses
(
the
ten
words
,
as
well
as
the
institutions
about
sacrifices
and
worship
)
was
added
because
of
transgression
,
Gal.
3.
19.
2.
That
the
whole
Law
(
the
ten
words
,
as
well
as
the
sacrifices
)
were
representations
,
figures
or
shadows
of
somewhat
relating
to
Christ
the
seed
,
subservient
to
the
promise
not
making
perfect
,
but
pointing
to
,
and
making
way
for
the
bringing
in
of
the
better
hope
,
Gal.
3.
21.
Heb.
7.
19.
The
Law
of
Commandements
,
or
the
ten
words
did
no
more
make
perfect
,
than
the
other
shadows
or
sacrifices
did
,
but
with
them
made
way
for
the
better
hope
,
towards
which
they
were
to
lead
their
Schollar
or
Disciple
as
a
School-master
.
3.
That
the
whole
dispensation
of
the
Law
was
given
to
the
Jews
,
and
not
to
the
Gentiles
,
Rom.
9.
4.
and
so
not
any
thing
there
written
bindeth
the
Gentiles
(
as
there
written
)
but
onely
the
Jews
.
God
had
another
way
of
making
his
mind
known
to
the
Gentiles
,
Rom.
1.
19.
and
2.
15.
according
to
which
he
would
judge
them
,
ver.
12.
and
not
by
the
Law
written
,
which
was
given
to
the
Jews
,
which
spake
not
to
the
Gentiles
,
but
to
the
Jews
who
were
under
it
,
Rom.
3.
19.
4.
That
the
duration
of
this
dispensation
of
Moses
Law
in
the
Letter
,
was
till
Christ
,
the
seed
should
come
and
fulfill
it
,
Gal.
3.
19.
and
ver.
24
,
25.
Moses
his
family
with
all
the
Laws
thereof
,
were
to
prepare
for
Christ
the
seed
,
and
to
give
way
to
him
when
he
came
:
For
when
that
dispensation
which
was
figured
out
,
is
come
;
then
that
dispensation
which
did
figure
it
out
,
is
at
an
end
,
Heb.
3.
5
,
6.
Christ
came
to
do
the
will
,
to
keep
and
fulfill
the
whole
Law
,
and
so
to
put
an
end
to
that
dispensation
of
it
,
Psal.
40.
Rom.
10.
4.
And
so
he
taketh
away
the
first
Administration
of
the
Law
,
which
was
in
the
letter
,
that
he
might
establish
the
second
,
which
is
in
the
Spirit
,
Heb.
10.
9.
2
Cor.
3.
7
,
11.
This
then
is
the
truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
concerning
this
thing
,
That
Christ
comming
in
the
flesh
,
and
fulfilling
all
the
righteousnesse
(
as
well
of
the
ten
Commandements
,
as
of
the
sacrifices
)
puts
an
end
to
that
dispensation
wholly
:
So
that
henceforth
both
Jews
and
Gentiles
are
to
come
to
him
,
to
hear
his
voice
,
this
is
my
beloved
Son
,
hear
him
.
And
Moses
foretold
,
that
when
that
Prophet
came
,
he
was
to
be
heard
in
all
things
;
whose
whole
Ministration
was
but
to
figure
out
what
the
Son
was
afterwards
to
fulfill
in
spirit
,
Heb.
3.
5.
Who
would
be
faithfull
to
give
forth
the
entire
law
and
substance
of
life
to
his
house
or
family
of
believers
,
as
Moses
was
faithful
to
give
the
entire
shadow
to
his
House
or
Family
of
that
Nation
of
the
Jews
,
ver.
6.
So
that
here
,
in
the
Gospell
,
Christ
being
come
,
the
new
Covenant
and
Law
in
the
Spirit
takes
place
,
and
not
the
old
Covenant
or
Law
in
the
letter
.
And
this
Law
is
more
inward
,
more
full
,
more
close
,
more
spirituall
,
and
more
lasting
,
then
the
ministration
of
Moses
Law
to
them
of
old
time
was
,
Gal.
3.
25.
&c.
And
it
is
the
ministration
of
this
Law
of
the
Spirit
which
is
not
to
passe
away
from
the
Disciples
of
Christ
,
untill
all
be
fulfilled
;
but
is
to
remain
a
Sword
against
every
lust
and
desire
of
the
flesh
in
them
,
untill
they
all
with
the
very
root
of
them
be
thereby
cut
down
,

Quest
.
But
what
were
the
ten
Commandements
a
figure
or
shadow
of
?
Answ.
The
Tables
of
stone
were
a
representation
or
figure
of
the
fleshly
Tables
of
the
heart
,
wherein
the
new
Law
of
the
Covenant
of
life
is
written
.
The
writing
of
the
Law
of
Commandements
in
the
Tables
of
stone
,
was
a
figure
of
the
writing
of
this
new
Law
by
the
finger
of
Gods
Spirit
in
the
heart
.
The
outward
writing
in
the
outward
Tables
,
was
a
figure
of
the
inward
writing
in
the
inward
Tables
.
The
Law
it self
of
Commandements
,
which
was
written
in
those
Tables
,
was
a
figure
of
the
Law
of
life
which
is
to
be
written
in
these
Tables
.
And
this
Law
thus
received
,
thus
written
,
is
easily
fulfilled
,
whereas
the
Law
in
the
letter
,
because
of
the
weaknesse
of
the
flesh
was
very
hard
to
be
fulfilled
,
and
generally
proved
an
hand-writing
of
Ordinances
against
the
Jews
:
For
he
that
was
guilty
of
one
,
was
guilty
of
all
,
and
so
upon
every
transgression
had
the
force
and
strength
of
the
whole
Law
against
him
.
And
whosoever
now
runs
back
to
the
Law
in
the
letter
,
to
take
up
any
command
as
held
forth
in
it
,
and
so
making
himself
a
debter
thereto
,
will
be
found
a
breaker
thereof
in
Spirit
,
even
one
that
hath
more
Gods
then
the
Lord
,
a
maker
of
Images
or
liknesses
of
things
in
heaven
,
or
things
in
earth
,
if
not
of
both
,
a
taker
of
the
Name
in
vain
,
a
prophaner
of
the
Sabbath
,
&c.
For
he
that
hath
not
received
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
life
in
Christ
Jesus
,
knoweth
not
the
Lord
of
life
to
be
the
onely
true
God
,
but
maketh
Images
in
his
mind
,
and
taketh
his
Name
in
vain
,
not
feeling
the
living
power
thereof
,
nor
can
keep
his
Sabbath
(
ceasing
from
sin
,
forbearing
his
own
works
,
his
own
willing
and
running
,
and
entring
into
the
rest
of
the
Gospell
)
for
there
is
but
one
day
of
rest
holy
to
the
Lord
;
all
the
Sabbaths
of
the
Law
were
but
signes
of
it
,
having
but
a
significative
or
representative
holynesse
;
but
the
day
of
redemption
which
the
Lord
hath
made
,
Psal.
118.
24.
(
in
which
his
redeemed
rejoyce
,
and
rest
to
him
)
that
hath
the
true
holynesse
.
This
was
it
which
came
by
Christ
,
the
other
came
by
Moses
,
Joh.
1.
17.
Moses
his
family
or
children
were
to
keep
that
day
(
that
was
the
day
for
the
servants
,
who
were
to
be
exercised
under
the
shadows
)
but
the
believers
are
to
keep
this
day
in
the
Spirit
,
to
enter
into
this
rest
by
the
faith
,
Heb.
4.
And
to
worship
the
Father
in
it
,
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
truth
,
on
the
Mountain
of
his
holynesse
,
Joh.
4.
23.
Whereof
the
other
Mountain
,
Temple
,
Worship
,
and
day
was
but
a
shadow
.
Now
the
sum
or
substance
of
this
Law
of
the
Spirit
,
may
outwardly
be
signified
in
divers
short
words
,
as
Love
,
that
comprehends
the
whole
of
it
,
so
doth
fear
;
there
is
the
whole
wisdom
and
course
of
the
life
comprehended
also
:
or
thus
,
Thou
shalt
not
lust
,
(
thus
it
was
administred
to
Paul
,
Rom.
7.
)
or
thou
shalt
keep
the
Sabbath
,
or
believe
in
the
light
,
folow
the
light
.
The
observing
of
any
one
of
these
in
the
Spirit
,
is
the
keeping
of
the
Law
;
for
every
breach
of
the
Law
is
out
of
the
love
▪
out
of
the
fear
,
a
lust
of
the
fleshly
Spirit
,
a
transgression
of
the
Sabbath
,
or
spirituall
rest
to
God
,
out
of
the
light
,
and
out
of
the
faith
.
But
if
ye
will
read
this
in
the
Spirit
,
and
come
to
the
true
righteousnesse
of
the
faith
,
which
is
received
in
the
obedience
of
faith
,
to
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
,
ye
must
come
to
the
word
of
faith
,
to
which
Paul
directs
,
Rom.
10.
6.
by
the
hearing
whereof
is
the
justification
,
and
not
by
a
bare
believing
that
Christs
blood
was
shed
:
for
it
is
the
vertue
of
the
blood
which
saves
,
which
vertue
is
in
the
living
word
,
and
is
felt
and
received
in
hearing
,
believing
,
and
obeying
that
word
,
thereby
bringing
into
unity
and
conformity
with
him
both
in
his
death
,
and
in
his
resurrection
and
life
.
This
is
the
onely
way
to
life
,
be
not
deceived
:
there
is
not
,
nor
ever
was
any
other
.
O
wait
on
the
Lord
in
his
fear
,
that
it
may
be
opened
to
you
,
and
that
slain
in
you
which
cannot
bear
the
straitnesse
thereof
,
and
with
which
there
is
no
entring
.
