my dear friends you have had many troubles and also many deliverances so that you have not been killed and overwhelmed with sorrows and Satans buffettings though you have been sore struck at without as well as within but are yet kept alive in the principle and spirit of God therein to appear for him and give glory unto him that principle of Truth and Righteousnesse which God hath manifested and given unto you hath met with many oppositions within you and since you received the same and were possessors thereof you have been opposed for its sake and because Satan could not kill that good thing within you that God hath manifested and given unto you he hath struck sorely at you for it he could but either by his flatteries or threatnings dispossesse you of that principle and spirit which God hath possessed you withall to keep your hearts souls and Consciences close to the Lord and for his service and prayes in his own way of appointment then would persecutions and banishments be at an end for the cause of God as aforesaid but because you cannot be banished and driven by the spirit of the world from the principle and spirit of God and his wayes and worship into the spirit of God and his wayes and worship into the spirit and way of the world and the worship thereof you are threatned with banishment from your Native Countrey and outward Relations But as you abide true and faithful to the Lord they cannot banish or drive you from the presence of the Lord for the earth is the Lords and the fulnesse thereof and if the Lord suffer them to banish any of you it will be for good you are his and he is yours he hath owned you for his people and signified unto you that he is your God you have had many testimonies of his love and refreshings from his own presence to engage your hearts to him and to carry you forth after to do or to suffer for him he was with his people Israel when they went over the sea and in the wildernesse also and did both preserve them and prepare a table for them and he knows what is best for his people and which way to bring most glory to his name and comfort to them and therefore it is good to be with the Lord where-ever he would have us to be and to commit our cause to him whose care is over us and whose love is so greatly manifested unto us So to the Lord I commit and commend you with my self and the whole flock and family of God to be kept by his power as a people in Covenant with him to be ordered and disposed of by him as he sees good And my dear love extends it self unto you in a pure remembrance from that spirit and power which hath begot us unto it self and bound us up in it and thereby one in another to live and walk together in the footsteps of the flock and to lye down on that hill of rest where the flock meets at noon day and the blessing of him that dwelt in the bush when the bush was on fire and was not burnt be with you all Farewell South Leverton in Nottinghamshire this sixth day of the ninth Month 1664.
