in Gods own hand By which alone in fear I live and stand In baptismes fire exceedings John's who lead To Jordans deeps whom Herod did behead Ah! Babes most dear with you in that I am Which gives to see me as a patient Lamb In pure content bearing the yoak and Crosse Esteeming mortall but as dung and drosse In taste of vertue of the heavenly seed At Gods own Table with you all I feed With each low worm in his own proper measure I drink a dram of the sweet wine of pleasure My soule in ardency of life doth say I am as near you as the light the day As firmly fixt like flesh unto your bones As in the mountains solid rocks and stones As reall in you though no flesh can see As is the Sap in the green Olive Tree I 've chosen you like as the Turtle Dove To be dissolv'd in this most constant Love I want the words of wisdoms deep profound To shew how deep y' are planted in this ground What shall I say unto my heart within Where canst thou end but where thou didst begin And there the Rivers run exceeding measure What shall I say of this my Loves vast treasure You have much more then this weak hand can write For all is yours which Spirit doth indite My Spirits also with and in you all Who by the same are saved from the fall Can I within me lesse affection find Then worms or beasts who love their proper kind Nay Lambs ye know in living substance well That my Brooks current mortal doth excel For this my stream towards the deep doth run As doth my flame ascend towards the Sun No wise Philosopher did ever know The moving Cause why Seas do ebbe and flow Nor of them all within their Tombs do lye E're saw the Love which moves the Sun to fly In Course most swift round heavens widest wheel But Gods Host now the cause and life doth feel The lesser to the greater is well known And each true nature moves towards its own Here 's fire below the greater flames above Till twain are joyned they do yearn both in Love Th'ore whelming flouds which on the earth were sent In Noahs day dropt from the firmament Besides you see how raining clouds do bring Refreshing showres in pleasant time of spring And fills the fountains which are here below And still the streams unto the Seas do flow And all their Tides wherein they alwaies move Shew their affection to the Seas above Now read me and my Love which tongue can't speak To you my life which death nor hell can break Yet still I pray in fear that God defend Me from the ill and save me to the end Amen J. P. BRETHREN and SISTERS Look purely to your proper life to be able to stand the Tryall of the day Happily you may know what you are to day but who can say what he shall be to morrow Let none look out at me but within to feel me for I look up to God and the cup which I patiently swallow is honey-sweet in my belly God hath heard my prayers and answered me wherein my soule is refreshed whose favour I besought with watches and careful tears that you might know and now it is enough that you do know that I have lived and in the life do live as an offered Sacrifice to dye in God And therefore now for the fabrick quickly to stretch on its last bed and there to sleep the long sleep it is but one to me as to walk or rather it is better to me for it to repose in her mothers womb for lo I shall live and not dye All dear sucking Lambs and Sheep of the fold pray for me every where Pray in the Spirit and cease not for the lowest groan God heareth HOLY SEED Be pure unto the end and the Crown and Kingdom is yours So the Father in his Love keep you in the Love and Unity and make your day as the spring which covereth the earth with green J. P. ABRAHAM believed and his faith was imputed to him for Righteousnesse And Moses in the same steps marched through the Red Sea and the Children of Israel followed him and were saved but the presumption of the enemy God drowned in the deeps thereof Ah! how many were his works of power to a murmuring people in the wildernesse and how wonderfully also did he alwayes save Israel in the extream deep times of tryall Oh seed of the holy one all most dear and precious plants of the heavenly Kings renown I have alwayes in Spirit been among you and frequently have transmitted my exhortations in the fulnesse of the bowels of Love and life unto you saying wait for the Triall to stand it and bear it for the Lord God will have Gold and no Tin He will have Turtle-Doves perfect white and no party-coloured birds And therefore again I say O ye bones be joyned with the Sinnews O ye veins loose not your bloud for that is the life of all Creatures But Lambs be ye patient and content and look up and wait a while and you shall see and stand in the power and the power will stand in you and in it pray the Father and the Father will hear you And grieve not if a Thistle or Thorn should blossom for lo the North wind can blast it and then it will fall to the Grave of forgetfulnesse Consider my Brethren who made the Rose a Rose and cannot he also make the Bryar a Lilly and hath not our God made that of good which the Son of man thought would never be for a service of good however tryals shall be for your everlasting good as you abide to the day I testifie to you that all Nations is but as one man and him as the dust of the ground before the Lord God And who can say of what God Almighty made the dust yea or the Globe of the whole earth Ah Lambs am not I your Brother in the heat of a hot day The Lord our Righteousness keep you as his mercy preserveth me an object for your pure eye to look on but look ye not out but dwell within for from the presence of the Eternal power I speak The earth shall rowle as a smooth iron ball cast down a steep hill which finds no lett untill it 's fallen to the bottom thereof untill that the King reign whose right of due it is and therefore under the Scepter of his Government dwell ye in the peace and in the pure content and his favour will countenance you beyond your hearts expectation And this is the Word of the Lord God which changeth times unto all Gods people upon the face of the earth to whom my whole Soul and Spirit is knit and united in the perfect life of the living body John the prisoner of Christ 9th 4th Month 1660.
