be with you as you have had me your God in all your Tribulations and sufferings wherein I did bear both you and your Griefs and all your Afflictions in the yearning Bowels of my Tenderness which yet I will Break I will Break I will Break more infinitely open unto you which shall melt and dissolve you and make you stream to me as I am in flameing streams of love and life towards you I will reach you in your Holes Bolts nor bars of Brass or Iron nor walls like Mountains shall shut me from you but in your Denns and Dungeons I will come in among you and walk in the midst of you and you shall know that I am the Comforter of your Hearts and the Rejoycer and Gladder of your Spirits in all the times of your needs And whilst the Yoak is upon your Necks and the oppressive Burdens upon your Backs and I bearing both you and your Burdens over the Raging Seas that are angry at my Voice and troubled at the Breathings of my life I will trouble the Hosts of the Philistims their Horses shall fail them their Chariots shall not stand in any stead unto them for I will Break the Wheels and the Axeltrees and they shall fall they shall fall they shall fall I the Jehovah of Israel the mighty God of little Jacob have spoken it it shall surely come to pass and you shall be delivered by the Hand of my Power saith the Lord. And therefore sing you Lambs and Reioyce you my little tender babes in that I have Travelled for you and born and brought you forth unto the day of my glory in the Glory and the Excellency thereof to witness my Name of Power which will scatter all the chaff that is heaped up as Mountains against you that you whom I have planted may prosper as a fruitful Vineyard That the abundance of the fruits of blessedness in the power of my Righteousness may be brought forth in you to your Joy and mine Honour even for ever Ah Brethren our very Hearts and Souls are overcome and ravished whilst we consider the endless love and everlasting riches of the favours and mercies of our FATHER towards us and what he hath ready in his Hand to deal bountifully unto us yet but a little but a little and he will give it and make the emptiest Vessel as an over-running River whose Banks cannot contein the Streams for fulness It is his love his love even his endless everlasting Love that over-powers us which is not conteinable within us but must run and flow from the Movings of the great Oceans as the swiftest streams into your tender bosomes that you may he refreshed in us in which the Answer will return into our Bowels and our Joy will thereby be augmented and increased And we trust in the pure living sense of all our hearts shall be always full of the praise of our God who in all his blessed works is worthy of all Honour and everlasting Thanksgiving and Glory even of us and all his Saints and Children for evermore who in him are yours to serve both Him and You in doing and suffering whatsoever is his good pleasure concerning us And in him everlasting Blessings and Peace be multiplied to you all Amen E.B. J.C. J.P. Newgate Prison the 12th of the 4th Month 1662. The Cogitations of my heart have been many deep and ponderous some Moneths Weeks and Dayes concerning his People which he hath raised to bear TESTIMONY unto his Name in this the day of his Power And Intercession hath been made often for them to the Lord and a patient waiting to know his Mind concerning them for the time to come which often I received Satisfaction in as to my self but yet still something I was drawn by the Lord to wait for that I might comfort and strengthen his Flock by an assured Testimony And while I was waiting out of all Visible things and quite out of the World in my Spirit and my heart upon nothing but the Living God the Lord opened the springs of the great Deep and overflowed my whole Heart with Life and Love and my Eyes were as a Fountain because of tears of Joy because of his Heritage Of whom he shewed me and spake unto me in a full fresh living Power and a holy full Testimony so that my heart was ravished therewith with Joy unspeakable and I was out of the Body with God in his Heavenly Paradise Where I saw and felt things Unutterable beyond all demonstration or speech At last the Life closed with my Understanding and my spirit listened unto him And the everlasting God said Shall I hide any thing from them that seek my face in Righteousness Nay I will manifest it to them that fear me I will speak Do thou listen and publish it amongst all my People that they may be Comforted and thou Satisfied And thus said the Living God of Heaven and Earth Upon the 28th of the 3d. Month 1662. The Sun shall leave its shining Brightness and cease to give light to the World and the Moon shall be altogether Darkness and give no light unto the Night the Stars shall cease to know their Office or Place My Covenant with Day and Night Times and Seasons shall sooner come to an end than the Covenant I have made with this People into which they are entred with me shall End or be Broken and my Word is Unchangeable yea though the powers of Darkness and Hell combine against them and the Jawes of Death open its mouth yet I will deliver them and lead them through all I will Con●ound their Enemies as I did in Jacob and Scatter them as I did in Israel in the dayes of Old I will take their Enemies and I will hurle them hither and thither from me even as stories are hurled out of a Sling and the memorial of this Nation which is holy unto me shall Never be Rooted out but shall Live through Ages as A cloud of Witnesses in Generations to come I have brought them to the birth I have brought them forth I have swadled them and they are Mine I will nourish them and carry them as on Eagles wings and though Clouds gather against them I will make my way Through them and though darkness gather together on a heap and Tempests gender I will Scatter them as with an East wind and Nations shall know they are My Inheritance and they shall know I am the Living God who will plead their Cause withall that Rise up in Opposition against them These Words are Holy Faithful Eternal Good and True Blessed are they that Hear and Believe unto the End And because of them no strength was left in me for a while but at last my Heart was filled with Joy even as when the Ark of God was brought from the house of Obed Edom when David danced before it for Gladness and Israel shouted for Joy Fran.
