To the Camp of Israel c. MY dearly beloved Friends Brethren and Sisters who are of the stook of Abraham and Seed of Israel who are brought and bringing forth of the Land of darkness and house of bondage by the out-stretched Arm of the Almighty Jehovah to follow him who is an everlasting Light into the Heavenly Land of rest and peace which endureth for ever who are of Caleb Joshua's spirit wholly resigned to do or suffer the Wil of God in all things in your generation who are the true Israelites indeed without guile partiality or hypocrisie the chosen generation the Royal Priesthood zealous for God good works valiant for the Truth upon earth who can forsake all to follow the Lamb in his footsteps of patience long-suffering love and meekness wisdom and fear bearing all things enduring all things hoping always in God and rejoicing in tribulations glorying in nothing saving in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ resolving in his strength with purpose of heart to cleave fast unto the Lord though your outward man perish or be offered up as a living sacrifice for his holy Name and Truth I say that you truly are my brethren and sisters I have no greater joy than to sit down with you and feed with you at your Table which indeed is no less then the Table of the Lord which he hath spread for us yea even when we were in the Wilderness did he give us Manna from Heaven Angels food and water out of the Rock which then followed us blessed for ever be the Lord and the remembrance of his Name And when I call to mind these things and the multitude of his mercies and endlesse compassions which he shewed towards us in the days of our infancy when he took us by the hand and taught us to go my bowels are turned within me and I am melted before the Lord. O Israel what hath thy God done for thee Stand stil a little and consider how he hath dealt with thee in the days past whether he hath dealt so with any Nation how he hath made Rivers in the Desart and the dry Land to become springs of Water How hath he filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich empty away He hath brought down the mighty from their seats and exalted them of low degree He hath made the Wilderness a fruitful field and turned the fruitful Land into barrennesse because of the iniquity of them that dwelt therein He hath divided the sea and made it stand on heaps while his chosen Remnant passeth over He hath overthrown the horse and his Rider he hath pierced Leviathan and bruised the head of the crooked Serpent and broken the great teeth and jaws of the wicked he hath delivered from the mouth of the Lyon and from the paw of the Bear and from the uncircumcised Philistins He hath made the Lame to leap as an Hart and the Tongue of the dumb to sing He hath set the solitary in Families and is leading Joseph like a Flock and making him Ruler over Egypt the Land of darkness O magnifie the Name of the Lord all ye children of Israel and let the inhabitants of the Ro●k sing for joy for great and marvellous things hath the Lord done for his people he hath raised the dead and brought Lazarni from the grave He hath opened the eyes of the born blind he hath cleansed the Lepers and cast out Devils and they are gone into the Herd of Swine He hath fed a great multitude with a little portion and yet much remains He hath cured the daughter of Abraham which was bowed down many years He hath stopt the running issue which all the Physicians of no value could never do He hath made a Hedge about Job and delivered just Lot out of Sodom and brought him to Zoar. These things hath the Lord of Life done among us of which we are eye-witnesses and his own Arm hath brought salvation and hath wrought all our Works in us and for us which none other man could do O praise the Lord for ever all ye that have breath in the Land of the living and let the sons of Jacob have him and his works in everlasting remembrance If we forget his mercies shewed unto Zion and his wonders in deep let our right hand forget her cunning If I forget thee O Jerusalem and what thy God hath done for thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth But how is my soul become as a watered Garden in brokenness and humility before the Lord God of our salvation when I call to mind his tender mercies and dealings of old and when I remember the Wormwood and the Gall and how there was none found worthy in Heaven nor Earth to open the Book and to loose the seals neither to look thereon but the Lamb which had been slain then was the time of weeping and of great mourning as in the Valley of Haddadrimmon yea even apart in the Wilderness and solitary places O Lord God shall thy people ever forget these things and thy wonders upon the Land of Egypt which thou wroughtest for thy Seeds sake and the great salvation which thou hast shewed to Israel Shall there ever be an image made or the likeness of any thing in Heaven or in Earth to be bowed down to but thy Name alone which is and shall be exalted above every Name in which thy babes and children have found comfort strength and safety to this day Or shall any thing sit in thy Judgement-seat with thee but that which overcometh and is thy Son is not all power in Heaven and Earth and all Judgement committed to him in whose mouth is found no guile who is meek and lowly in heart who loosed the seals and opened the Book and did prevail and hath prevailed over the Dragon and his Angels who makes war in righteousness and in it goes on conquering and to conquer who hath the Keys of Death and of Hell Therefore let your eyes be alone unto him O ye followers of the Lamb and fear not man neither look unto man whose breath is in his nostrils but be valiant for the Truth upon Earth which endureth for ever Follow your Captain even of your salvation ye White-Horse-men who are of the Armies that are in Heaven whose clothing is white and clean and your Armor the whole Armor of Light having on the ornament of a meek quiet and patient spirit which is of great price in the sight of God though in it you appear as fools in the sight of men You are of that Troop which shall overcome at the last though you seem as to the outward appearance to be overcome and trampled under foot for a season for the exercise and trial of your faith and patience through which God is bringing his Lambs nearer to his bosom though their face is marred more then any mans and their form more then the sons of men But the Lord of
