A Salutation of LOVE TO The Seed of God IN The People called Independents and Baptists Monarchy-men and Seekers EVEN The Tender Bowels of the LORD to them all Through GEORGE BISHOPE Whom having not seen ye love in whom though now ye see him not yet believing ye rejoyce with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory Receiving the End of your Faith even the Salvation of your Souls 1 Pet. 1. 8 9. LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson 1661. A SALUTATION of LOVE c. FRIENDS CHRIST is risen from the Dead and become the first fruits of them that slept For as in Adam all die Even so in Christ shall all be made alive And here is the Consolation That Christ being raised from the Dead dyeth no more Death hath no more Dominion Over him For in that he Dyed he Dyed unto sin Once but in that he Liveth he Liveth unto God So likewise reckon Ye also your selves to be dead indeed unto Sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. And this old Zachary prophesied when the strings of his Tongue were untied after that he had been Dumb for a certain space of time as a Sign until the Day that the things that the Angel said to him concerning John which he believed not should be performed Who was to prepare his VVayes before his face and to go before him in the Spirit and Power of Elias To turn the hearts of the Fathers unto their Children and the Disobedient to the Wisdom of the Just To make ready a People prepared for the Lord And thou said the Angel shalt have great Joy and Gladness and many shall Rejoyce at his Birth for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and he shall drink neither Wine nor strong Drink and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his Mothers Womb and many of the Children of Israel shall be turned to the Lord his God which shall be fulfilled in their season He spake and praised God and he was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied saying Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath Visited and Redeemed his People and hath raised up an Horn of Salvation for Us in the house of his Servant David as he spake by the Mouth of his Holy Prophets which have been since the World began That We should be saved from Our Enemies and from the hand of all that that hate us To perform the Mercy promised to Our Fathers and to Remember his holy Covenant the Oath which he sware unto Our Father Abraham that he would grant unto us That we being delivered Out of the hands of our Enemies might serve him without fear in Holiness and Righteousness before him all the dayes of Our life Friends and Brethren in the Flesh and in the Covenant of God as many of You as stand in the Election of Grace to You am I moved of the Lord God Eternal to write and to warn You That You take heed to that in You which witnesseth to God which is the Day-spring from on high which through the Tender Mercie of our God hath visited You To Give LIGHT to those that sit in Darkness and the shadow of Death and to guide your feet in the Way of Peace For this is He which Zachary prophesied of which should be called the Prophet of the Highest which should go before the face of the Lord to prepare his Way before him To give the knowledge of Salvation unto his People by the Remission of their Sins which is fulfilled in this Day Wherein Multitudes of his People hath the Lord Visited with the Day-spring from on High with his Tender Mercy and given LIGHT unto who sate in Darkness and in the shadow of Death and guided their feet in the Way of Peace and given the knowledge of Salvation by the Remission of their Sins through that which hath gone before his Face to prepare his Wayes who hath given the knowledge of Salvation unto them by the Remission of their Sins Who is come the Second time without Sin unto Salvation which they witnesse VVho was dead and is alive and behold I live for evermore said he to John and have the Keys of Hell and of Death VVhom it was not possible that he should be holden of Death For he said in a certain place Thou wilt not leave my Soul in Hell neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see Corruption but wilt shew me the Path of Life of all Pleasures and Stores which are at thy right hand and fulness of Joy for evermore Whose Day Abraham saw and rejoyced and before Abraham was I am said he who lives for ever Jesus Christ Yesterday and to day and the same for ever VVho cometh in Clouds and every Eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all Kindreds of the Earth shall wail because of him Even so Amen VVho is the Faithful VVitness the first begotten of the Dead and the Prince of the Kings of the Earth The Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the ending saith the Lord which is and which was and which is to come the Almighty who is come and that of God in all witnesseth to him and that he is raised from the Dead and being raised from the dead Death hath no more Dominion over Him He dies no more but lives unto God and shall come to Judge the Quick and the Dead at his Appearing and Coming To whom be Blessing and Glory and Dominion for ever and ever Now Friends this is manifest in that every One of You hath that in you which doth witness and which is not blotted out Nor hath Death Dominion over though Death Reigns in your Mortal flesh For it witnesseth against Sin and sheweth that its Deeds are evil and is stronger than Sin though you obey it not and judgeth Sin and Evil and reproveth it and thereby exerciseth its Dominion and shews its Kingdom over that which It reproves and judges VVho came in the likeness of sinful flesh and for Sin condemns Sin in the Flesh that We might be made the Righteousness of God in him Not having Our Own Righteousness but that Righteousness which is through Faith in Him For by Grace ye are saved through Faith and that not of your selves it is the Gift of God Through Faith in his Name who is the Power of God unto Salvation unto as many as Obey him Even to as many as believe in his Name VVho are born not of Blood nor of Man nor of the Will of the Flesh but of God To whom he gave Power to be called the Sons of God Even to as many as Received Him VVho came unto his Own but his Own Received him not So Friends Mind Ye in your selves and see whether there is not such a thing in You which alwayes is for God and against all Evil which judges Evil which condemns Evil and speaks for God whether You Obey it or not And then tell me whether
