10 QUOTES TENTH

Christian With the Shield of Faith
*
 He who Loves feels love descend into him & if he has wisdom
may percieve it is from the Poetic Genius which is the Lord
 * 
Man can have no idea of any thing greater than Man as a cup
cannot contain more than its capaciousness  But God is a man not
because he is so percievd by man but because he is the creator of
man 
*
Even I already feel a World within 
Opening its gates & in it all the real substances 
Of which these in the outward World are shadows which pass away
*
Thy pity is from the foundation of the World & thy Redemption
Begun Already in Eternity   Come then O Lamb of God  
Come Lord Jesus come quickly
*

These represent those who tho willing were too weak to Reject Error without the Assistance & Countenance of those Already in the Truth  for a Man Can only Reject Error by the Advice of a Friend or by the Immediate Inspiration of God 

*
 The Elect is one Class: You
Shall bind them separate: they cannot Believe in Eternal Life
Except by Miracle & a New Birth. The other two Classes;
The Reprobate who never cease to Believe, and the Redeemd,       
Who live in doubts & fears perpetually tormented by the Elect
*
no man can do a Vicious action & think it to be Virtuous. no man can take darkness for light. he may pretend to do so & may pretend to be a modest Enquirer. but is a Knave 
*
And by came an Angel who had a bright key,
And he open'd the coffins & set them all free.
Then down a green plain leaping laughing they run      
And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. 
*
Execution
is only the result of Invention
*
Nature Teaches nothing of Spiritual Life but only of Natural
Life
