but keep the Lord in your eye and the evils shall dye and vanish away from amongst you and the appearance shall be the Lords and to him shall the gathering of the Nations be hungry souls shall see and be satisfied with his likenesse and all that behold his beauty shall confesse unto him and in him shall the upright heart delight for at his coming shall he establish the Throne of Righteousnesse and measure every appearance and correct every false judgement and that which ensnares the simple will he cast out for by the power of his appearance shall every thing be tryed and peace proclaimed in the name of righteousnesse alone for that which is not like him will not be able to stand before his appearance But we know that when he appeares we shall be like him he that hath this hope purifies himself even as he is pure that he may be seen in him at his coming Now dear friends is your sound gone to the ends of the earth and God hath made you famous amongst your enemies in that you have begun to confess his name and nature and that he is in you whom many are looking for here and there and now the eyes of people and Nations are upon you to see your end and now your glory is in putting him on and covering you with him a Lamb without blemish before God and man that in him you may obtain good report unreproveable and holy so shall you stop the way of the destroyer and put an end to all false conceptions and revive the hope of Israel Let his innocency be your armour and put your trust in his truth for your Salvation The time is full come for you to declare what he is to you ' with boldness with a confession beyond words for this appearance of him in love is that which shall judge all likenesses and try all spirits actions judgments and appearances and by this shall you all be measured what spirits you are of and all spirits in the world for he shall bring every hidden formed fained thing to light at his coming and what ever hath not this love in it is not his nor begotten of God but he that hath this love is begotten of God and hath him the Father and the Son the end of the Law and the Prophets the substance and life of all knowledge faith and works the root and ground of every good gift for herein are we made perfect in love that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because we have put him on dwell in him who is love and as he is so are we in this world But he that loveth not is not made perfect in faith in knowledge in judgment having not learned Christ herein therefore by this he must be judged himself So blessed is he that judges nothing before the time who condemns not himself wherein he judges another all judgment being committed to him that can lay down his life for his enemies Therefore happy are you if you have him on first for when he appears his judgment is true and shall stand when all that hath come before him shall pass away for him alone hath the Father sealed So dearly beloved ones my soul breaths towards you herein that in all your several gifts and administrations this Son of God be your eye and end the beauty and Glory of the Father that the hope thereof to attain may stay you in all tryals and temptations knowing that in him alone is your lasting peace and that which doth now befall you in all your afflictions is to shake all other appearances that way may be made for him alone whose Image and life none can judge nor condemn And the day is come that happy is that man who hath nothing else to glory in and this know that the appearance of God in his own begotten is your glory and if any man boast himself and not herein when he is weighed therewith he will be found wanting the sound thereof will not save him As the same spirit from whence this comes moves in any one so let them send it abroad amongst the called of God to be read and known COme forth you children of light come forth depart out of the world touch not the unclean thing that the holy one may make his appearance amongst you make hast to the day of your God If he shine forth Salvation is with you but he cannot appear in that heart where the world is retained If you be like the world it will own you but that image which it receives not is your everlasting glory and beauty So mind what works in the vessel for now must every Child appear like his Father and must bring to light of what spirit he is begotten and only blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord with power and great glory that which the world is ashamed of is that with which the Son of God is glorified and again must be glorified he that bears the iniquities of men and is fill'd with reproach and yet appears without sin is our Saviour And a Lamb without spot must take away the sin of the world his manifestation destroyes the work of the Devil in a body prepared he delights to perform the councill of God and to bring hidden things to light that he may speak mysteries to the wise therein and hold forth a way to the simple leading out of the snares of subtilty Wherefore all that love his appearance and seek the face of redemption love that which prepares his way to his appearance in his Temple that which breaks down the will of man and as a fire goes before him which is that baptisme with which all that will receive him must be baptised into death So when sorrow anguish and tribulation comes upon you rejoyce and fly not This comes to destroy nothing but destruction and to kill that which keeps you from eternal life and to prepare a way for your peace and a place for everlasting righteousness to dwell in you For truly friends in the threshing floor must the Altar be set up and where God answers by fire there must his house be built and as many as look to the end of this may not despise correction nor faint under the hand of reproof That is good which brings down into the depth where the wonders of God are learned for he that will labour in Gods Vineyard must know every seed and its root what feeds it and what famisheth it and the ground of every weed and cause of every curse This many may see when it 's come to a Tree brancheth and brings forth fruit but then its strong and powerful and not easily pluckt up seldom got down without fire and much sorrow therefore blessed is that eye that 's lowly and diligent which sees every several appearance that he may slay the seed of wickedness ere it bud and not suffer the enmity to take root for he

not your heads but feel the life of what in this followings paper is declared For though the Thief the Boaster the proud and exalted ones have or may cover themselves with like words yet this birth never was is or shall be brought forth but by the espoused Virgin pure chaste and spotlesse true and abiding innocency far distant from all feigned purity which many being puffed up in their vain minds have or may intrude into things they know not and so deceive the simple by a voluntary humility and worshipping of Angels these hold not fast the head which gives the life to every member he that is without beginning of days or end of life by whom and for whom all things were made to him shall every knee bow who filleth all in all of whose fulness he hath received grace for grace who in these following lines salutes the whole elect of God every where plentifully giving forth of the great Mystery of godliness hidden from ages and generations now made manifest to the meek and upright in heart who in the unfeigned love abide which endures for ever R. T. DEar friends Brethren and Sisters of the Seed of Abraham partakers with him in the holy call and who in his faith wait for that glory and inheritance immortal which every one of you shall receive at the appearance of the great God and his Son Jesus Christ to you all be peace truth and love increased wherein you may be established to the end of your calling That which is set before me in the Spirit of truth and for which my soul travels and breaths after in the whole Creation but especially in you who are already called thereunto I am moved to impart unto you thereby to stir you up earnestly to press on towards the appearance of that to which you are called in one which is no other then what hath been holden forth from the beginning even the only begotten of the Father filled with grace and truth for the obtaining whereof you that are faithful have denied the delights of this present world and do daily undergo the enmity thereof Of whose appearance many of you have received a certain hope which cannot be shaken and a measure of him some are come to in the same Spirit who have seen felt and handled of his appearance and have received of his fulness wherein alone you excell and are able to hold forth that life i● the power of obedience meeknesse and fear which no form nor knowledge without is able to bear or bring forth which is that alone wherein I rejoyce in you and not onely so but find cause in heart to magnifie that goodnesse and glorious power of God already manifested in you and through you to the world whose praises will daily increase as his vertues appear in you which that you and all the number of called ones may increase and grow to the age stature and full appearance of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the full desire of my soul and that which will give us an assured joy and perfect peace in one when knowledg will vanish and that which is in part shall be done away Wherefore you that have received the Spirit of Prophecy and that light out of darknesse which lets you see what manner of one the Son of God must be at his appearing in Spirit and power holiness and great glory I beseech you that none of you sit down at rest in this sight nor be you puffed up therewith as though you had already attained lest thereby the Enemy prevail to assault you above what is meet and so others lesse in wisdome who are more lowly in spirit step in before you and obtain that Crown and glory to which you were called and so while you feed on the knowledge you loose the life but that every one waite in the light to feel the power and life of the Son of God manifest in your bodies giving you victory over your own spirits and raising you up out of death into the life of the Prophecies that you may all know the true worship in Spirit and what you bow unto that henceforth you may be servants of righteousnesse begotten and not made which only hath food able to satisfie your thi●sting souls that you may all feel the onely begotten of God in vertue and power working mightily the work of the Father and destroying the work of the devil in every particular for hereunto were you first called that you should inherit eternal life and power the true riches of grace in righteousness and to receive a Kingdome that cannot be moved but that is able to keep you against all assaults of the enemy which ●iches is Gods onely begotten in whom is received of the perfect fulnesse of God which is only able to satisfie all fears and supply all wants in all who attain to his appearance And further I beseech you that you sati●fie not your selves onely with a feeling of this working in you but that you diligently attend an entrance thereinto that you may put him on whom the Father begetteth and formeth in you that you souls may be bathed and anointed therein And not only so but that you bring him forth before all men even him the only begotten Son of God in meekness long-suffering in patience in righteousness in godly holinesse and all his vertues the living image of him by whom he is begotten that it may appear to all men whose you are and who possesseth the vess●l and what he is that appears therein that it may be seen and confessed that God is in you of a truth revealed in his only begotten For this is he to whom at his appearance every tongue shall confesse and every heart be struck with fear though the form of his beauty and visage of his glory hath amongst false Births and fained professions been more marred then any mans who instead of bringing forth into the world the only begotten of God to convince and condemn the world of all ungodliness and save them from it have brought forth the conceivings of their own brains and the child born to them is no Saviour but their birth hath left them in the world and one with it who are now turning the words of Christ against his works and their power to withstand his appearance in others who is the same which was and is and is to come to all generations So that instead of holding forth that spiritual power of perfect Redemption from above to save his people from their sins and set them at liberty from the bondage of corruption to serve God in the new man the Son of Righteousnesse of peace and holinesse Gods image there appears the Son of wickednesse in every form at liberty and pleaded for the Image and power of all unrighteousnesse and ungodlinesse preached and set up so that the very faith and hope of Gods appearance in this generation is destroyed So these not waiting in faith single
