Jerusalem with iniquity the heads thereof judge for reward and the Priests thereof teach for hire the Prophets thereof Divine for money yet will they lean upon the Lord and say is not the Lord among us none evil can come upon us is not this your building is not this your practise O Leeds England and New-England therefore cease from this wherein ye provoke the Lord to wrath and let your right eye be put out as concerning this and your hand wither and become dead as touching this for what will it avail you to strive against the stream For the Lord to his People is become a place of Broad Rivers and stream of water and if ever you come to Redemption you must be plowed as a field and separated with the Word of God from your blood-thirstinesse pride arrogancy and deceit the workers of which cannot enter into the Kingdom of God Therefore come to the feeling of the Just which tells you envy is of the Devil pride and swelling words of vanity and the lust of the eye is of the World and not of the Father and if any man love the World the love of the Father is not in him take counsel at the Spirit of God and weigh the thing for this which expresseth unto thee in the love of the Father would not have your souls to perish So if you love your souls be obedient and let not the enemy betray you through his wisdom in keeping you from the sence of the new Creature and in that old Adams state imagines there can be no due order as to Government and Worship in the generation chosen out from you but the living wisdom is made manifest in the separation from the Worlds Idolatry in which state our Officers shall be peace and our Exactors Righteousnesse our Judges restored as at the first and our Counsellors as at the beginning So the living order of Gods Spirit is not run from but witnessed And the Creature waits for the earnest expectation of the Son of God to be freed from the bondage of iniquity and he is the Son of God the Light of the World whom all the Kingdoms of the earth must become his the Lord Jesus Christ who is of power authority and wisdom to Rule over all with a Rod of iron and this is that I would bring you up into out of the carnal and deceit wherein is the strife that in the obedience to the Just you may come into the enjoyment of Gods Righteousness And if you here contenin or speak against this Government the true sword of the Spirit may be turned against you so try your wayes and come out of the pit of destruction that the life of Innocency you may feel to partake of the Lambs mercy And you friends who are of the Seed convinced with the Just in your own particulars and in stilnesse the light in your hearts discovers unto you the enmity of the unjust and lets you see the evil of the World the wickednesse of the times so that whilest ye are mingled with the heathen which worship not God in spirit and Truth you are wrong and the wrong is unrighteous which cannot inherit the Kingdom of God Therefore O friends joyn with the Righteous principle that discovers unto you the wrong the unrighteous and herein is the weight and the burthen felt which must be cast off that lets for running the race of holinesse and the command is grievous to the disobedient but rejoycing to the Just he is near the light to give thee strength to come through the power of darkness in your own particulars then the powers of darknesse without you will be as ashes under the feet of the pure and the living faith through your steadfast love to the Truth will encrease to purfie the heart and cleanse your souls with the precious blood of the Lamb slain since the foundation of the World and this friends the salvation of your souls is more precious than all the things of the earth So in the love of God which would draw you unto him and give you a mansion in his house be faithful and valiant and look not at the enemies advantages which would draw from the least simplicity of the Gospel to uphold his kingdom which must be thrown down and the pure Authority established so fly not that which is to bring near into Gods love the Crosse the obedience unto Gods witnesse who waits to lead thee up to the Land of the living hear his voyce the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world and look not at names or Reproaches but count them Riches and all names whatsoeuer the persons being not in the nature of Christ there is rottennesse in the bones and not a sweet savour unto God which except Christ the life be witnessed in the mortal body the soul is under Deaths dominion So come forth partake with the sufferings that thou mayest Reign with him in the glorious state Christ Iesus the Prince of peace whose banner of love is stretched forth to Redeem the captives of Iudah and restore the preserved of Israel Glory honour and everlasting prayses be given unto him by all the seed in whom sin Reigns not in their mortal bodies who are the saints of the most high God Samuel Watson THE END LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Sign of the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1660.
