The Prophet fheweth firft, That Mofes and the Prophets did record frange and wonderful Things; As alfo their Revelations, which we are bound to believe. I. 2. T 蛋餅 HERE is, and hath been Recorded many and feveral wonderful ftrange Things and Deeds of the righteous Fathers, as, Noab, Lott, Abrabam, Ifaac, and Jacob, and of their And alfo, how wonderfully God did appear unto them, and ftrengthen them in their Time, when they were upon the Earth. These things are Recorded by the Revelation of Mofes, as God revealed it to him. 3. Alfo Mofes declared his own Birth, and how he was preferv'd from being drown'd: These things did he declare, and how God appeared unto him, and chofe him and Aaron for that great Work, to lead that great People through the Wilderness, and to be a Law-giver. B 4. Which 4. Which was the firft vifible appearance of God upon Earth, that is Recorded, for all Generations to come. For tho' God did appear in a wonderful Manner unto Enoch, Noab, Abraham, Jaac, and Jacob, and feveral other righteous Men, yet we could never have known it, had not Mofes, by his Revelation, left it upon Record. 5. How could the Generations to come have known any thing of the Creation of the World; and how God made Man in his own Image and Likeness. 6. Or that there ever was the Man Adam, or Cain, that flew his Brother Abel; or that the World was ever drowned, except eight Perfons, if it had not been revealed by Mojes. 7. So that we have nothing but Moles's bare Word for it; for we did not live in his Time, to fee the Wonders he wrought, nor hear him fpeak. 8. Yet we are bound to believe his Record, and Revelation, and Acts he did: And bleffed and happy were all those that did believe him when he was upon Earth, when they faw his Acts, and heard him speak. 9. And more bleffed are thefe now, that understand and believe, which have not feen his Wonders he wrought in his time, nor heard him fpeak forth thofe Revelations God revealed unto him concerning the Creation of the World as aforefaid. 10. Alfo we read in Scripture of many wonderful A&s that was wrought and done by the Prophets, in the time of the Law, after Mafes. 11. As Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elifba, and several other Prophets, in the time of the Law; their wonderful Acts are recorded in Scripture. 12. Befides the Revelation they declared as from God, which the Ages following did not fee nor hear, yet many did truly believe, and doth truly believe, and are by Faith fatisfied, as those that did both hear and fee. 13. So that the Scriptures Record, is a Record of fpiritual and heavenly Things, and of fome of those wonderful and powerful Acts of Mofes, and the Prophets, and the righteous Fathers, manifefting their great Faith in God, and being in Favour with God. 14. Which I, by Faith, have found their Record true, and fo have many more of the feed of Faith, found their Record and Revelations to be true. XXXX CHA P. II. The Prophet makes a Rebearfal of the Acts of the Apofiles in the New Teftament, and of the Lord Chrift; and how that they were written for the Comfort of the Seed of Faith: After which he enters upon the third Record, and fhews the cause of bis writing some of the most principal Alts of the Witness of the Spirit, under this third Record. 1. A LSO we find written in the New Teftament, many wonderful Acts and Miracles, acted by the Lord Chrift, and his Apoftles; as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John doth declare concerning Chrift; that if all the Things Chrift fpake, and Acts he did, were written, the World would not contain the Volume. 2. That is, the verge of a Man's Understanding could not retain the particulars, fo as to tell it to his Friend, the particulars would be fo many. 3. So likewife, the A&s of the Apostles; that Book hath little elfe in it, but wonderful Acts wrought by the power of Faith in the Apostles. 4. And these things were written for the feed of Faith, that they might have Comfort in believing the Record that is given of the Apoftles, how God ftrengthened them in Faith and Power, as by the power of Faith to work Miracles. B 2 5. Be 5. Because they were chofen of God to bear Record on Earth, to the Blood of the New Teftament, or, New Cove nant. 6. Thus did the Apofiles bear Record on Earth to the Blood, as the Prophets did bear Record on Earth to the Water, which fignifies the Law of Mefes, and the Blood fignifies the Gofpel of Jefus Chrift. 7. The Scriptures are a Record, that fheweth many wonderful Acts, that Chrift and his Apoftles did when on Earth, befides the heavenly Revelation. 8. And it is very comfortable to the Seed of Faith, true Believers, to read of the Acts of the Prophets, and of the Apoftles, as it is of their Doctrine, Revelation, Prophecies, Interpretations; or, Epiftles. 9. Thefe Things, I having experience of, and feeing it hath been the Practice of fome of the Prophets and Apostles to leave a Record behind them, for after Ages to perufe, of fome of the most remarkable Acts done by them, when they were upon Earth; as a remarkable Remembrance to their Prophecies and Epiftles. 10. So likewife, I being one of the two laft Prophets and Witneffes of the Spirit, being the Third and laft Record from God on Earth. i I. 1. I thought it convenient and expedient to leave fome Record on Earth, behind me, of fome of the most remarkable Acts and Paffages that hath been done and acted by us, and to us, the Witneffes of the Spirit, fince we were chofen of God, in the Year 1651. 12. That I may leave it as a Legacy to the Seed of Faith after me, who fhall happen to Read and Believe thofe Writings of Ours after I am gone. 13. They may know by the Doctrine therein declared, who, and what we were, and what God we believed in. 14. Alfo I thought it neceffary to write of thofe Acts my felf, |
