and worldly lusts and to live Godlikely and soberly in this present World He stands at the Door of every Heart and knocks if by any means he may be heard and have admittance whereby God's Promise may be fulfill'd That God will dwell with Men and my Testimony is That a Remnant have obey'd this Heavenly Voice and now walk in this pure Light in which God Almighty is known to tabernacle with them Therefore in the fear of God Eternal do I cry aloud unto you all who are wandering in the by-paths of mens Inventions Traditions and Precepts to empty your hearts and minds of those unprofitable Guests that better entertainment than a Manger may be had to receive this Lord of Glory The mighty Prophet all must hear or die who searcheth the Heart tryeth the Reins and is able to tell you all that ever you did This is the Quakers Christ and Son of the Living God whom we are not ashamed to confess before Men as that Glorious Light which since we have believed and walked in according to our distinct measures we have not onely received a perfect discovery of all the will-Worships Pollutions and vain Fashions or Customs that have been brought forth by and stands in the dark lustful and apostatiz'd nature but as we have continued in a holy watchfulness to observe and obey its Righteous Dictates Gods mighty Power we have and do experience to subdue and redeem therefrom yea that Spiritual Blood is sensibly felt to sprinkle and cleanse the Conscience from dead works And to you all must I declare That by no other way did I ever receive the knowledge of the least evil or ability to conquer it than in this universal Light who is given for a Captain and a Leader out of all the by-paths and petty perswasions of men through judgment that purifies and the Red Sea of Troubles Tryals and Afflictions unto the Rest which is pure and undefiled This is Gods beloved Son hear ye him For I proclaim another way there is not to eternal Life and Peace than this everlasting Gospel which now is preached for the time is come that the Angel of his Presence is flying through the midst of Heaven having this antient Gospel to preach to them that dwell upon the Earth and are in their Earthly Nature Wisdom and Worships Crying with a loud Voice Fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his Judgment is come Therefore away away with all your own wayes works and Worships that are grounded upon mens Command and fallible apprehensions whose breath is in their nostrils and no more do homage according to such prescriptions but fear and dread the living Lord God of Heaven and Earth For if the Righteous scarcely be saved where shall the ungodly and sinner appear But woe anguish tribulation and sorrow shall come upon every Soul that remains in sin Therefore be warned ye dark and Idolatrous Papists ye superstitious and loose Protestants yea zealous yet carnal Professors to come out of all your own Wayes Works Worships Nature Spirit and Practice In silence and fear to wait in this glorious Light which God Almighty has displayed and raised us contemned Quakers to walk in and testifie of in these last Ages that by believing therein and circumspectly adhering thereto you may come to experience the rising of that eternal Power which overcomes and removes transgression that hath so long separated between you and your God hereby shall you receive sound Judgment and Heavenly Wisdom This will not destroy but fulfil the Spriptures of Truth and so shall you know the Baptism that 's from above and eat the Heavenly Bread and drink the Spiritual Wine at Christs Table in his Kingdom which the Saints of old saw the coming of before they tasted of death For the Kingdom of God is within Here all old things Covevenant Signs Ordinances and whatever perisheth with the using shall be done away and the everlasting unchangeable Substance witnessed and no more shall you profess Religion or perform Worship from the imagining and transgressing nature but from a certain sence of Gods own Operation so shall your Faith stand in that Power the Gates of Hell can never prevail against For this I once more am necessitated to declare by vi●●ue of the sound knowledge given me of God that whilst you are fulfilling the lusts of the flesh and walking after your own will and imaginations you are altogether strangers to the yoak to the daily Cross and self-denying life but are yet the corrupt Ground and evil Tree which bring forth evil Fruits Thorns Briars and sowr Grapes Be ye undeceived God will not be mocked such as you sow such shall you reap Wherefore I intreat advise and warn you all before the day of your visitation be shut up in the eternal withdrawings of God's Love and revelation of his dreadful endless Vengeance O ye Idolatrous Superstitious Carnal Proud Wanton Unclean Mocking and Persecuting Princes Priests and People to repent Return return believe and obey this Light which manifests and reproves all your evil deeds that in it you may know your Redemption from the captivity of sin effectually wrought O tremble and quake with the Prophet Habakkuk you who scoff at Quakers that you may all rest in the day of trouble But if you shall still go on to rebel against the reproofs and instructions of this Holy Light and despise and persecute the Children of it be it known to you all that before the brightness of its Glory shall your shadows vanish your imitations fly away your beggerly Elements melt and you die in your sins Nor shall we be sollicitous what your intentions are concerning us well knowing him in whom we have believed to be much greater in us than he that is in the World who in love hath call'd us out of it and we doubt not will by his everlasting Arm of strength defend and preserve us over all opposition and by us exalt his Name Truth and Salvation unto the ends of the Earth Therefore let the Winds of Imagination blow the storms of Persecution beat and the Sea of raging malice foam Yea though the Fig-tree shall not blossom neither Fruit be in the Vine though the labour of the Olive fail and the Fields yeeld not their meat though the Flock be cut off from the Fold and there be no Herd in the Stalls though Nations should combine against us and multitudes assemble themselves to our overthrow Yet be it reported to the Nations and let it be told unto the people that we shall still confide and rejoyce in that everlasting Holy God Almighty Lord of Hosts and King of Saints who hath gathered us and therefore is by us over all Things in Heaven and things on Earth blest and renown'd for ever THE END Isa 1. 13 14 15 16 Mat.
