An Epistle of tender Love to all Friends that are tender hearted who are tender of the Honour of God and seek the Glory of his worthy Name and the Prosperity of his precious Truth and the Peace and Vnity of the Church of Christ in this his blessed Day Dear Friends Brethren and Sisters TO you is the Salutation of my Love in the Lord who are called and chosen of the Lord to be faithful Witnesses to his Name and Truth in this his glorious Day wherein he is appeared in the Brightness of his Glory through his blessed Son Christ Jesus our blessed Lord and Saviour to bring many home to himself that were a far off from him that they may know a Habitation of Safety and a quiet dwelling Place and be established upon that sure lasting Rock that the Gates of Hell cannot prevail against my tender Friends you that are come to the sure Foundation stand fast and keep to Christ your Rock he that was the Rock of the Righteous in all Ages and in every Generation since the World began and he will remain the same forever therefore dear Friends hold fast your hope in him that he may establish your Goings in the Path of Holiness and blessed way of Life that he hath cast up by the word of his pure Power in this his glorious Day wherein he hath blessed you with a true and certain knowledge of the Mysteries of his Kingdom the way of Life and Salvation and made you partakers of his heavenly Treasure you that were poor in Spirit hath he made rich in Faith and you that were weak hath he made strong in the Lord and in the Power of his might that you may be able to stand in the Dominion of that bright shining Light Life and Power of Immanuel God with us as a faithful Warrior against the man of sin both within and without Oh my dear Friends be bold and valiant for the Lord and his Truth and as the Valiants of Israel be diligent and fervent in your Zeal and Courage to persevere in the Work of the Lord and keep your 〈…〉 Name and power and be faithful in your Testiimony for his blessed Truth even unto the End against all Opposition whatsoever and let nothing take place in your Hearts to discourage or weaken you in your Testimony against that Spirit of Division and Separation that opposeth the good Order and Discipline of the Church of Christ that is established amongst you by the Power of God Those that are crying out against Orders and Forms but Wisdom is justified of her Children and their Folly is made manifest and their Fruits declare them to be some of the wandring Stars that have lost their light notwithstanding their specious Pretences the least Child of Light whose Understanding is kept open and clear may see that blindness and darkness is over them so that they do not see their own Works of what sort they are who are prescribing Orders for friends and a Form for them to walk by and how they shall keep their Men and Womens Meetings and in what Method and Form and yet are opposing the Form of Godliness that is attended by the Power as you that have been faithful in the Lord's Work and Service are Members of those Meetings which they despise and are made living Witnesses of and have had large Experience of his Power and Presence to attend you from day to day in your Works of Piety and Charity and feel his Blessings showred down upon you to your great Comfort and living Refreshment pure Praises to the Lord our God over all forever who is the Rock of our Safety as our Eye is to him therefore have we no cause to be discouraged though Men despise and revile us for God is with us of a truth so we have good cause to believe that he will fight the Battle for us and be too hard for them and overturn them all in his own appointed Time and Season that rise up against us therefore in patience possess your Soul and cast your Care upon the Lord who careth for you and will stand by you and uphold you by his Power and make way for you through all these things that you shall be able to hold out to the End and never grow weary of well-doing as you follow Christ in the daily Cross it 's you that God will crown but it 's grievous to some that come forth with us to go from us and turn against us Demas like and prove disturbers of the Churche's Peace by their oppositon and vain jangling against Orders and Discipline and pretend they stand for their own and others liberties in Christ and yet would deny liberty to others viz. to young People who have a desire to come to Men and Womens Meetings and Friends of other Counties if they are with us they are also denied by them their liberty to come into their Meeting so are not these in confusion that pretend one thing and practice another at the same Time who have published their own weakness to the Nation by their Endeavours to reproach Friends thinking thereby to cover themselves because they say they have not caused these Rents and Divisions and Differences among Friends by bringing in any new Doctrine or unscriptural Discipline but have made it out how and which way they were the cause of it very plain that it is easier to be understood viz. by opposing the good Order and Discipline setled and established among Friends as it is to be seen in a printed Paper the Title A Memorial for the present Generation and also for that which is to come wherein they declare their dislike and what opposition they still stood in against Friends and still do stand in the same and resolved as I understand to continue in the Separation except Friends will make a bargain with them and give it under their hands in writing to 〈…〉 and so deny them Liberty of Conscience which they seem to conted for in words but in work they deny it to others they having lost the Power which should make way for their Testimonies now they would come in upon Terms to be accepted as Ministers of Christ but his Ministers are attended with his Power which makes way for them in the Hearts of all People where the Ground is good whose Minds are well inclined that they receive their Testimony with gladness of heart as you are right sensible Blessed be the Name of the Lord forever so need not complain for want of acceptance as they do But my dear Friends let none of these things discourage you in the Work and Service of the Lord and stand over their Spirit and touch not with them but go on and do the work of your day with chearfulness of heart and readiness of mind and fear not to stand in that Power that will give you to see over the Devil and his Instruments that have that Power of God in derision and also that
