last for ever unto whom my soul ascribeth all glory praise honour and thanks who is worthy of all to whom be it for ever given by all that feel Breath in the land of the living And now all ye dear and tender breathing Babes and Children of the most high God whose hearts and understandings the Lord hath opened who have cast down all your Crowns at the feet of the Lamb who have forsaken and can forsake all for his sake in whom is no guile who have obeyed his voyce and faithfully follow him in the Regeneration who love not your lives unto death for his sake that was slain from the foundation of the world because of the sweet savour of his precious oyntment which you dayly feel poured forth into your vessels Ye onely are the wise Virgins ye are the Redeemed from the Earth and are not defiled with women the weak and beggerly things And this is the word of the Lord God Almighty that lives for ever unto you all The day of your Redemption the day of your sitting upon Thrones the day of shouting and of singing Halelujahs for joy is at hand in the triumphant Dominion of the Lord God Omnipotent over all flesh and uncleane spirits over the raging waves of the Sea in the midst of the greatest stormes yea over Death and Hell and the Gates of it which shall never prevaile against you as you abide on the Rock as you inhabite the Rock you shall sing praises yea high praises unto him that sits upon the Throne and to the Lamb for ever and ever who is worthy to receive power wisdome riches honour glory and blessings for ever and ever over all in the Highest Amen Halelujah who giveth you the victory Therefore faint not for unto you this is the word of the Lord God who liveth and reigneth for evermore Amen Israel is commanded not to meddle with Physick or Physitians c. for any disease or distemper without the Leadings and Counsel of the Lord their God c. Dear Friends I Am commanded of the Lord and it lyes upon me in the fear of his Name and in the bowels of his love to warn and charge you whom it concerns that I may be cleer in his sight of these particulars following viz. 1. All you who in this great day of judgements and tryals within and without feels any distemper weakness sickness pains or any disease whatsoever Seek not to Physitians without Gods eternal motion or in the clear freedome of his life nor let out your minds in an eager seeking a remedy to any man people or things outward but as the living God alone guides you who is a present help in time of trouble to all his children that wait upon him And know ye this for a surety that the Lord our God hath made known the Tree of Life again unto his babes that fear him which is in the midst of the Paradice of God whose vertue heals within and without blessed and praised be his holy name for evermore Therefore all ye who professe the knowledge of God and faith in Jesus Christ now try your selves and your faith concerning these things for if you truly know God and Christ whom he hath sent to be a Prince and a Saviour and your faith stands in the power of God and not in a sound onely then you know the Tree of Life and him that gives us life and breath and all things Mark and if he gives us all things then he gives wisdom understanding and counsel to his people in all things needful how to walk act or speak in all occasions and at all times and places who guides the meek in his way and teacheth the humble in judgement Therefore I say wait you upon God alone in the pure fear of his name for counsel and instruction in this particular if you love the peace of your own souls and seek not any thing for a remedy but in his leading counsel and wisdome and in the faith of Gods Elect for if you do it will adde to your trouble and sorrow and distemper it s the Word of the Lord unto you which you will know fulfilled in the end Therefore my dear Friends Dwell in the Light which makes all things states and conditions manifest and wait upon the Lord in the still cool and quiet spirit for the right understanding of your own particular state and the ground and cause of all distempers diseases or judgements in your own particulars else how are you as the spiritual man that judgeth all things if you know not the things of God and what is in man and the ground of all distempers diseases and judgements where is your dwelling with him that is greater than Solomon if you know not that wisdome which gives the understanding of all things from the Hysop on the wall to the Cedar in Lebanon how can you be wiser than Serpents or how will you know the suries of wilde Beasts and that which bounds and limits them if you know not the ground of all things in your own particulars Therefore I say again Wait upon the Lord of life and think not your time mis-spent in so doing neither give your selves rest till you in very deed know Jesus Christ who is the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden of God For I must say in the word of the Lord many may be deceived with the apprehension or a name to live and may profess and talk of him and yet be dead and ignorant of the true and right knowledge of him and his wayes to whom he will professe he never knew them Oh! that this fearful day and sentence may never surprize any of you who have tasted that the Lord is gracious For many people have been destroyed for lack of knowledge and of a right understanding in these things before mentioned not knowing the intent of the motions of Gods Spirit within them neither discerning the Lords body for since transgression disobedience and ignorance of God the cloud of errour and darkness hath over-spread the world the ground of these things have been hid to the children of men so that when the displeasure of God hath been kindled against them they have not perceived it in the ground in the particular but were apt to talk of it in a general way that sin is the cause when great plagues and judgements comes upon a people or the like but scarce one man in a Nation did turn in his mind and wait upon God to see his will and counsel in such things in the particular but such as did and obeyed the Lord were Prophets who cryed against such things in the general as they had suffered the indignation of the Lord for who had subdued them in the particular And so the Lord God hath often sent his visitations amongst the children of men and his Servants to warn them that they might be awakened and repent and be humbled before him that so he might
