and the Lord hath forsaken thee because thou hast been derided of the wicked and hast been the Song of the ungodly all the day long and in departing from iniquity thou art made a prey thou hast been even as a Chased Roe or as a Sheep alone that no man taketh up and thy enemies have been many that have compassed thee about and pursued thee as Pharaohs Host Yet now arise Oh Zion for thy light is come and thy Glory is risen and thy enemies are men and not God and their Horses are flesh and not spirit therefore fear not man whose breath is in his nostrils for what is he before the Lord when he stretcheth forth his hand for the sake of his own Seed when he calls them from the East and from the West and saith to the North give up and to the South hold not back then who can hinder the purpose of the Lord who doth whatsoever pleaseth him Therefore all ye tender Ones and ye feeble of the Flock who are afraid of miscarrying and cry because of your weakness and of the strength of your Enemies within and without and are ready to say in your hearts we shall never hold out to the end and this even the thoughts of it is your greatest grief for you matter not what you may suffer so you may hold out to the end that your God may be honoured and his Truth or which you are made partakers advanced and many that yet are scattered into it may be gathered by it to be set free from the pollutions of the world this I know you heartily desire Oh ye tender Ones whosoever ye are lift up your Heads and let not your ponderous thoughts cause you to droop for in weakness is God ordaining strength and out of the mouths of his Babes shall come perfect praises and power from him alone shall be received by the faithful to answer his requirings For all our sufficiency is of and from the Lord and they that wait on him shall renew their strength This I am a witness of Therefore now let Israel trust in the Lord and know him to be all their stay waiting diligently in the meek and quiet spirit upon him so shall they never be confounded For this is the day wherein God is separating the Chaff from the Wheat and is putting a difference between them that fear him and them that fear him not and them that Swear and them that fear an Oath though against the last of these even against those that fear an Oath a grievous Law is made and now is the cry We have a Law and by it you shall suffer surely this is not added because of transgression which the ancient Laws were but because there is a people that cannot transgress the Law of their God therefore there is a cry It s not for our profit to let these abide in our Land But this let all know That the Lord hath called us to be a people and hath gathered us into his innocent life of righteousness and to this day hath been our Defence when our Enemies were many And this also is a great cry against us because we meet together to wait upon and worship the Lord in spirit and in truth Therefore are we persecuted carried before Magistrates and cast i●to Prison so that now it is with us as it was with the People of God in the days of old when the snare was upon Mizpeh and a spread net upon Mount Tabor Notwithstanding all this ye dear Children of the Lord meet together in Gods Name Fear and Authority having the loines of your minds girded up and your hearts fixed on the Lord and none forsake the Assemblies of the faithful neither let in the fear of Man who can kill the body and can do no more for many of you hath the Lord deeply tried and many of our brethren have laid down their lives as the faithful Martyrs of Jesus giving glory to the name of the Lord and we know that the Lord was no hard Master but hath given us power according to our trials and in Prisons he hath been and is with us therefore let none be troubled because of the Law for Banishment neither let your faith fail because of the great and wide Sea but now stand still and see the salvation of God which is to be revealed to those that faithfully follow the Lamb wheresoever he goeth Be stedfast and unmovable alwayes abounding in the work of the Lord committing your cause to him waiting in the meek and quiet spirit upon the Lord his counsel to receive that as the heart of one man with one consent ye may worship and bless and praise the Almighty God in the sense of his love so his blessing will rest upon the whole Camp and his invisible Power will be your Shield in the greatest tryals you to defend and preserve in peace with your God this my soul greatly desiers This as a token of my love unto you by the breath of Life for the stirring up of your pure minds and that none may fear those things which they may suffer but that your trust may be in the Lord and your strength in the mighty God Thus having none other way to express what is in mine heart towards you but in writing I bid you Farewel The 26 th of the 4 th Month 1664.
