    A Standard lifted up, and an Ensign held forth to all NATIONS

    Chap 4

    Concerning Man, and all Mankind, this Testimony I give unto all Nations and people .

    Man was created and brought forth in the Image of God , and was with Man to do the will of him that created him, and was lord over all Creatures, to use them to the glory of the Creator, and all Creatures were to serve him , but man transgresses against his Maker, and offended him and dishonored him , and became degenerate, and grieved his Maker continually, and was drove out from the Presence of the Lord and he is now a Child of Disobedience, and of Wrath, and an Enemy in his mind against the Lord that made him; and he is doing and fulfilling daily the will of the Devil, and grieves the Spirit of God, and vexes his righteous soul, and is subject unto the Curse of Wo and Destruction , being ignorant of the Life, and Power, and Wisdom of the Creator, to lead him , to guide him, and preserve him , but follows the counsel of his own heart, which is evil all together, though he was made up right, yet hath he sought out many, inventions, which are continually abominable unto the Lord; the ground in which he stands is corrupted and all his fruit is unpleasant, even bitter and evil unto the Lords Taste . Man is fallen into the Pit of Misery and Sorrow, compassed about with desolation, and is left without a Helper from himself, or from any other Creature, and this in short is the state of all mankind upon the face of the Earth, who was planted a noble Vine; wholly aright Seed, to bring forth good fruit unto his Maker ;but he is turned into a degenerate plant, bringing forth cursed fruits which the Creator hath not pleasure in, his best works are not accepted and his evil deeds are condemned, because the ground in which he stands is accursed, because of disobedience
