CHAP. XXIX. The scope of Saltmarsh his Book called Sparkles of Glory, and of his denying Christ to be any thing but a man figuratively and mystically.
34. The only scope (saith he to the Reader) of this Book is to mind you of an higher excellency then mere created things can afford you, of the truth that is in Jesus, or in Spirit: and of that unity of Spirit which Christians should live in under their several forms and attainments, and I have not held forth any discovery of Truth, or of any higher dispensation, so as to darken too much other dispensations in which Christians live, or to lessen and under value their attainments, but only to be faithful in the power of God to his discoveries in mine own spirit.
34. THe onely scope (saith he to the Reader) of this Book is to mind you of an higher excellency then meere created things can afford you, of the truth that is in Jesus, or in Spirit: and of that unity of Spirit which Christians should live in under their severall formes and attaintments, and I have not held forth any discovery of Truth, or of any higher dispensation, so as to darken too much other dispensations in which Christians live, or to lessen and under value their attaintments, but only to be faithfull in the power of God to his discoveries in mine own spirit.
1I desire we may bear one another's burdens, and consider that God is in all his several dispensations, and measures; and Christians are not to hasten out of any, till the Lord himself say, Come up higher, and the stronger are to bear the infirmities of the weak.
