Unto all that wait in Sion for the Consolation of Christ Jesus is the Word of Peace and Comfort declared and sent in this trying day that all may be comforted and in God may rejoyce and be glad who lives for ever and ever Containing Three Letters Written at three sundry times unto the gathered of God into the Covenant of endless life c. By William Green OH ye chosen of God and gathered of him out of the world into the Covenant of Life and endless Peace This is the day wherein God hath brought and is bringing the Faith of his children to Tryal Wherefore now let us lift up our heads in God and stand in his Almighty Power that by him we may be preserved in faithful Obedience unto the end that every one may have cause in themselves to say This is the good and blessed day of God and that all our trials we meet with here may be a Cause to drive us nearer and nearer unto the Lord from whom we receive Life Comfort and daily Refreshings who is a present Helper in time of great Need and as a Rock to flee unto for relief succour and shelter Yea he is the fountain and well-spring of Life and in him is our Hope for preservation and deliverance from and out of the hands of our Enemies therefore blessed are those that put their trust and confidence in him ye shall have cause of great Comfort in the midst of Afflictions remaining in each particular Wherefore now arise and shake off all fear distrust and unbelief and look up unto the Lord who hath begun the good work in our hearts and although he suffers many to be tried and deeply afflicted on every hand yet hath he regard unto the upright in heart and is not slack in his promises that he made unto us in the days that we cried and earnestly breathed to feel of that Life and to be made heirs or partakers of that durable substance that never will fade away for largely have we tasted and abundantly felt of the great love of God unto our immortal Souls in the feeling whereof we have been made oftentimes to say Surely good is the Lord and greatly to be feared and had in esteem for his manifold mercies that have been extended unto us so that we can read back again and take a full view of what God hath done for us since the day we knew him for he hath rebuked the raging Sea and caused the swelling waters thereof with the Billows that have mounted very high to sink and to fall and he hath made our way plain and the path smooth in which he hath set our feet to walk so this is that which remains as the Duty of every particular to do even to wait upon the Lord and to walk before him in the beauty of holiness in the Land of the Living O verily Friends the very consideration of what God hath done and is doing and will do for the upright in heart hath been as a great weight upon me for the space of several days which hath often times filled me with spiritual comfort and inward refreshings and this hath oftentimes been the cry or the voice that hath sounded through me saying Lord thou art our strength and we have none but thee to put confidence or trust in in all states and conditions whatsoever that we are brought into for the tryal of our Faith and the exercise of our Patience For this is a certain Truth and will stand for a Truth for ever that God will never fail them that wholly depend upon him although deeply tried yet he will preserve all who look with the eye of Faith unto him even as he preserved and delivered his Servants and People in the days of old yea when the flood came Noah entered into the Ark and the rest that were with him and they were preserved from the Deluge of water that drowned the wicked world who despised the servants of the Lord and derided him for doing the thing that he was commanded of God to do Yea him that brought Lot out of Sodom and delivered Mordecai Hester and the Jews and David out of his many troubles Shadrach Meshach and Abednego he upheld in the midst of the flames and brought forth Daniel out of the Lyons Den who also preserved Paul in his dangerous Voyages at Sea who also made known unto John when he was become as an Exile in the Isle called Patmos for the Word of God and for the Testimony of Christ Jesus the things that should come to pass in the last days he is still the same that ever he was and never changes therefore are we alive at this day for ye know right-well that many in the dayes that are past sought to work our overthrough and to bring ruine and desolation upon us yet never could do it because God was on our side but they themselves by so doing were overthrown ruinated and made desolate because they regarded not God his Truth and People but set themselves in the bitterness of their spirits against him and his people and although the wicked do and may flourish for a time as the green Bay-tree yet they shall wither and pine away and their memorial shall rot and perish for ever and no more shall they do unto the least that put their trust in the Lord then shall make for their good for the furtherance of his Work unto which he hath called us and for the glory of his Name for ever and although the proud are called happy and those that work wickedness are set up and them that tempt the Lord and oppress you his People are yet unrewarded for the evil of their doing which they shall be sure to have when they have done their work Yet let us wait upon the Lord in the measure of his life communicated unto us in the everlasting riches of his love alwayes watching unto Prayer pouring forth our Supplications that by him we may be preserved and kept unto the end of these trying dayes for although the Devil is let loose and rages exceedingly because the followers of the Lamb will not give their Power or be subjected unto him Oh! of this be ye assured the Lamb and his followers shall have the Victory and God who hears the cry of the poor and the sighs of the needy who make their redress unto him yea he that takes an account of the injuries and wrongs done unto his People whereby their hearts are made sad and they weep in secret before him having none else to cry unto Yea he I say will bind Satan hand and foot and chain Leviathon at his pleasure So be not discouraged nor in the least dismayed because of the hard sentences of unreasonable men pronounced upon those whom God hath acquitted and their innocency will clear for ever and if many of us should seal our Testimonies by laying down our lives in this our native Land in Prison upon the Seas or
