A true separation between the power of the spirit, and the imitation of Antichrist. The difference between the pretious and the vile, between the saints and professors, between the power and the form, between the wise virgins who are so indeed, and them who have gotten the name, but want the power.

           in
           you
           I
           speak
           ;
           and
           your
           minds
           being
           turned
           to
           it
           to
           be
           your
           teacher
           ,
           loving
           it
           ,
           and
           walking
           in
           it
           ,
           it
           will
           teach
           you
           that
           have
           Wives
           ,
           to
           be
           as
           though
           you
           had
           none
           ,
           and
           to
           use
           the
           World
           as
           though
           you
           used
           it
           not
           ,
           and
           them
           that
           buy
           ,
           as

           they
           possessed
           not
           ,
           and
           will
           lead
           you
           into
           singleness
           of
           heart
           and

           ,
           and
           out
           of
           carefulness
           :
           Now
           there
           is
           a
           difference
           between
           a
           Wife
           and
           a
           Virgin
           ,
           but
           I
           speak
           not
           to
           feed
           any
           mans
           comprehension
           ,
           but
           that
           every
           one
           may
           wait
           upon
           the
           Lord
           in
           the
           light
           of
           Christ
           for
           a
           cleer
           distinction
           and
           to
           come
           out
           of
           the
           destraction
           of
           your

           and
           out
           of
           your
           Imitations

           mind
           the
           light
           of
           Christ
           within
           you
           which
           will
           draw
           your
           minds
           within
           to
           be
           tanght
           of
           the
           Lord
           ,
           and
           out
           of
           all
           the
           Lusts
           of
           the
           flesh
           ,
           which
           all
           they
           live
           in
           who
           are
           turned
           from
           the
           light
           into
           the
           Imaginations
           and
           Imitations
           ,
           and
           so
           are
           ignorant
           of
           the
           Scriptures
           and
           of
           the
           spirit
           which
           spoke
           them
           forth
           .
           Therefore
           I
           say
           unto
           you
           who
           through
           your
           vain

           separate
           between
           man
           and
           woman
           ,
           and
           say
           that
           there
           should

           after
           the
           flesh
           ,
           and
           so
           looks
           without
           being
           turned
           from

           to
           you
           ,
           I
           say
           ,
           have
           you
           not
           read
           that
           he
           which
           made
           both
           Man
           and
           Woman
           at
           the
           beginning
           ,
           made
           them
           male
           and
           female
           ,
           and
           they
           were
           no
           more
           twain
           but
           one
           flesh
           ,
           what
           therefore
           God
           hath
           joyned
           together
           let

           sunder
           :
           now
           to
           the
           light
           of
           Christ
           in
           all
           your
           Consciences

           things
           ,
           your
           waiting
           is
           in
           vain
           ,
           for
           you
           never
           came

           Therefore
           to
           you
           I
           say

           turn
           your
           minds
           within

           to
           the
           light
           of
           Christ
           ,
           to
           wait
           in
           it
           ,
           that
           you
           may
           know
           the
           things
           fulfilled
           within
           you
           :
           for
           the
           comming
           of
           Christ
           is
           within
           ,
           and
           that
           which
           convinceth
           of
           sin
           is
           within

           the
           light
           of
           Christ

           this
           being
           hearkned
           unto
           and
           obeyed
           ,
           it
           gives
           power
           against
           sin
           ,
           and
           this
           power
           we
           witness
           made
           
           manifest
           within
           us
           ,
           and
           this
           power
           we
           have
           received
           from
           Christ
           which
           doth
           convince
           the
           world
           of
           sin
           ,
           and
           by
           this
           power
           the
           gainsayers
           are
           convinced
           ,
           and
           this
           is
           the
           same
           power
           as
           ever
           was
           ,
           and
           the
           same
           Christ
           as
           ever
           was
           ;
           and
           the
           same
           eternal
           words
           of
           God
           we
           do
           witness
           which
           was
           in
           the
           beginning
           ,
           which
           word
           is
           Christ
           ;
           and
           we
           do
           speak
           it
           forth
           in
           his
           own
           power
           ,
           as
           we
           have
           received
           it
           ;
           and
           this
           word
           of
           power
           we
           have
           ,
           which
           makes
           the
           Devils
           to
           tremble
           ,
           and
           makes
           the
           Heathens
           to
           rage
           ,
           and
           by
           it
           marveilous

           in
           this
           light
