WHITHEAD Printed in the Year 1665. This is an Epistle for the Remnant of Friends and Chosen of God whom he hath yet preserved to bear their Testimony in and about the City of London c. O My dearly Beloved Friends Brethren and Sisters among whom my Soul hath travelled and suffered for the Afflicted's sake and whose burthens and tryals are still with me in Spirit as also the Love Tenderness care and freeness of Spirit that has appeared among you towards the afflicted and harmless sufferers who have been led and driven as sheep to the slaughter for the witness of Jesus and of a good Conscience Oh dear hearts feel my life and tender bowels towards you all in the spirit and unity of true love and faith of the Elect seed wherein life and dominion is felt by all that wait patiently upon the Lord in true subjection to his eternal Power and Councel in all the Exercises tryals and hardships that the Righteous Seed is beset withal that being thorowly tried it may come forth as Gold thorowly refined and the Righteous who are of this Seed may through all these things go on in their way and the Innocent and clean in heart may grow stronger and stronger in the Lord that Truth and Righteousness may for ever shine forth both among you and all his Elect to the praise of his Name who both beholds feels and bears the sufferings of his People in his long suffering and patience wherein the spirits of his Chosen ones are exercised and by which they shall overcome and be more then Conquerours where neither calamities distresses life nor death shall ever be able to separate from that love vertue life and glory revealed and made manifest in the faithful And my dear hearts the glory and weight of Gods Righteous Testimony of life and Salvation being in his light truly and evidently manifested in and among you you have great cause for ever to prize his love and glorifie his Name and stick close to him therein what ever perils trials oppositions sufferings or temptations you meet withal and to be of a constant spirit and upright mind in the unchangable truth to the Lord God of life in whom your preservation and safety stands knowing that no weight of affliction or suffering is comparable to the weight of Eternal life and Salvation which you are called unto through the Glorious appearance of God's power and Gospel of peace and Salvation for the sence and enjoyment thereof doth certainly out-ballance and far exceed all the sufferings and trials of the present time though they are very many and deep And so none of you to be discouraged or shaken in mind at things of this nature nor because of the seeming advantage or occasion that the wicked or rebellious and envious spirits or such as are prejudiced do take against us because of that common Calamity and late Mortality which has befallen many of the Righteous as well as the Unrighteous as to the outward man in this time of such a great and universal calamity and sore distress as has been upon that City for God's Testimony and glory shines and will shine and break through all these clouds of afflictions sufferings and reproaches which the Habitation of the Righteous hath been and is encompassed with yea the faithfulness innocency and uprightness of many innocent Lambs in and about that City is never to be forgotten which so greatly did appear and shine forth in their faithfully standing to their Testimony and keeping to the Truth in tenderness of Conscience and sincerity towards God who hath called us to meet together in his fear and in his everlasting name and power and out of a real respect to his Glory and righteous cause which is concern'd in the obedience of his people both in that and all other duties or acts of obedience required by him whose obedience and spiritual worship many have not denyed nor declined neither under the trials which have proceeded from men or under those which came from God but whether they have been liable to fall into the hands of God or men for the proofe of their faith they have not departed from him who makes up his Jewels through trials and tribulations in all which his Fatherly care is felt and his tender mercy and compassion is seen towards his own as to his own peculiar Off-spring and tender babes sons and faithful servants whom he loves and therefore chastiseth and tryeth not in anger and fury but in love fatherly care and pitty so that whose eyes are open in the true light and in a right mind and spirit have thoroughly weighed the state of the suffering seed amongst us which is in the faith of Abraham brought forth in the Immortal power of an endless life considering the faithfulness and godly sincerity of a Remnaut whose life hath testified for God herein both in doing good and suffering for well doing such who have thus weighed this suffering state do plainly see that neither Satan nor his Instruments have any real advantage against any of the Remnant of this Seed through any of these trials or sufferings either from the hands of God or men since that many have kept their Integrity to the last and have imbraced their trials and afflictions in Gods tender love and have had such unity therewith that they have been far from either blaspheming or cursing God as the wicked many times have done and will do when Plagues woes torments and pains seize upon them but neither Satan nor his Instruments have their evil designs or ends answered or fulfilled herein against the Righteous as the Devil would have had against Job under his affliction when he sought to make him curse God to his face so that the Truth of our God and innocency of his people who know the Redemption of the Soul which is pretious doth and shall come over both Men and Devils in as much as the Truth is over the Devil himself who hath the power of death and darkness even to the confounding and stoping their mouths that they all who are acted by the power and spirit of enmity and darkness may be convicted confounded and left without excuse before the Lord God who will be known to be clear when he judges Yea blessed for ever be the name of our God who hath given us strength and courage to stand in an evil day over Hell and Death and the Devil with all his fiery darts and fierce assaults against the Righteous and that the Lord hath yet spared and will spare a
