A60851	Some breathings of life, from a naked heart presented in love to the honest, vpright, and single-hearted, that they, with me may wait to feel the imediate drawings, and leadings of the Holy Spirit in all things ... so that they need not any man to teach them, 1 Joh. 2. 27., with an epistle for peace and unity.	Salt, William.; Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1663 (1663)	Wing S460; ESTC R17566	16,219	20

people to more and more love generall universal to live in it and bring them over all straitnesse and narrownesse Amen saith my spirit Which I hope as the Lord hath brought me to see it so he will enable me to abide in it And as touching them who have declared among us and do goe forth as they stand in their places and are serviceable to the Lord in the moveing of his spirit to reprove sin and teach transgressors the way of God and keep to their first principles walking in the light of the Lamb it is lovely but not to meddle in what concernes them not vaileing the mans part that the Lord alone might have all the glory For thus it was said by them who were in the spirit of truth and of love who is Paul and who is Apollo but servants by whom ye have believed for neither is he that planteth any thing nor he that watereth but God that giveth the increase mark not any thing but God and this farther ran through me from the spirit of the Lord neither are they to be as Lords over Gods heritage but to be Examples to the flock And the Apostle who was not inferiour to the chiefest Apostles yet he said he was nothing And that the Lord might be all and his truth all they were content to abase themselves and such the Lord will 〈◊〉 And that whereby I have been preserved this day hath been onely in the name and power of the Lord his arme that hath upheld me but I see siftings and winnowings must come and good it will be for many And as the Lord hath tryed all other professions so he will try this that they that are approved may be made manifest And this I see Forms will be broken the customary Observasion of dayes and Friends preserved as the spirit of the Lord is harkened unto and obeyed and goes before in all things And that which I have come to see and feele into this day and to have my heart fixed yea that I can say my heart is fixed I can sing and rejoyce hath been through the travell of my soule and prayers and supplications to the Lord that heares in secret who hath had regard unto my low estate whose mercy indureth for ever and to see his people in the spirit of love and the Imediate movings in it and from it indeed I should be Answered And I hope it being from my very Soul that I have defired it that I shall see it and be satisfied And I know he that dwelleth in the Love of God dwelleth in a safe place for He that dwelle●● in Love dwelleth in God where Storms Tempests nor Pushings cannot come nor hurt The Creature may be hurt if he go forth or let his mind forth but keeping within he is safe the mind out of the Creatures or any visible thing up to the invisible God And the Lord hath brought me to a State that I see over the Visibles and where they are in their place and man standing in his place and the Creatures used in their place in Gods Covenant of Light are very good So there is a necessity of perfecting what is begun or bringing forth that which many are yet out of Even perfect Love that thinks no evil nor rejoyceth in Iniquity wherein we may see one another and serve one another and not be smiting without cause not to have the pure Life and Motions of the Spirit of Truth it self judged by them that are Professors thereof because it came not forth according to their Mind Form Time or Way even as others have done ready to judge all out of their own way when as it is evident the Lords way is not as mans wayes and no man is to have Dominion over another faith but to be helpers of each others joy if they cannot help then they are not to hinder But the Lord will have all to bow and be●● 〈◊〉 him be they never so strong there is need of a continual De●●●ance and eying him even as the Servant of Christ of old De●●ld without him he could do nothing but in him he could do all things 〈◊〉 have been brought to see my own weaknesse and my own ●●●gth and in that could do nothing and when I have been weak●● then have I been strongest and the Lords strength is pretious And as it hath been so it is Every mans way hath been right in his own 〈◊〉 but the Lord pondereth the Steps And in him was no Form nor ●●linesse nor nothing to be desired Mark here did not appear Form nor Comlinesse but a man of Sorrows and acquainted with Griefs So who stands in the Holy Mountain will see and walk over all these Forms Outward-appearances and Comliness and know the Kings Daughter that is all glorious within And this would not leave any at a loss or uncertainty to be guided and led by the Spirit of God in all things and if guided then that to go before or be directed by it for there is no other way whereby the Lord will carry on his own work Not by Might nor by Power but by my Spirit saith the Lord And the Spirit is not to be tyed or bound unto mans Conveniency or limited to the narrow compass of his occasions to serve him when he hath leasture but the Creature is to ●●ve way unto him So that a man going without his guide may ea●●●● loose his way and that imediately to see or to hear it otherwise he goes but uncertainly And where Friends have provided a 〈◊〉 or others have given up their House as to a Meeting-Place it may be made use of when they feel stirrings in the life both in respect of time and place as they see or are moved by the Eternal in which they stand over all the Earth and there will be safety whatsoever may come either to dye or to live even in and through the Eternal Spirit to offer up themselves And such that are Simple-hearted and go in simplicity of their ●●arts to such Meetings directed or led into by the Spirit of the Lord 〈◊〉 his own Seed-sake them the Lord may preserve but to do the 〈◊〉 clearly in the Life and imediate movings of the Spirit towards 〈◊〉 a thing is sure and safe it would be disobedience if not answered if required for it is the Lord that is to be hearked unto and his 〈◊〉 obeyed and the Creature not to go forth into any thing any ●ther then that leadeth but to be kept in subjection for if you 〈◊〉 to feel the thing in your selves and it be not hearked unto 〈◊〉 shall go on any in a Formality or Customarinesse out of the ime●●ate Leadings and Guidance of the Spirit of the Lord The thing will come over you and overtake you and some will be burthened thereat untill they do declare against it Publickly And so walking in the unity of the Spirit and keeping down the mans part then unity would be preserved and
