Lord wil bring down all Heights and Mountains into the valleys for in the valley of Jehosaphat will plead with all flesh which hath scattered the seed of the Covenant And now dear Friends here is your peace and blessednesse that you silence all flesh and cease from your own wisdoms give over your imaginations about the things of God come out of the love of the world and arise out of all visible things and prepare to meet the Lord cast off all your idols that have had your hearts put the stumbling blocks off of your iniquities from before your faces and give up all that will not that he should raign over them that his enemies may be your enemies for in judgment and righteousness is he come out to be avenged upon the unrighteous seed and now stand in the light that a separation may be made in you the precious from the vile that a true savour may arise that you may know your calling and election what is called and what you are to come out of left you stay in any of that to which the plagues is for this is the cause of your suffering not discerning in the pure wisdom what that Antichrist or exalted spirit is that is got into the Seat of God and shewes himself to be as God whose Kingdome stands in the wisdome glory and riches of the world where at all that knows not the true God in Spirit ask couusel therefore dear friends look not out into the visible things for there he is ready to present to you false voices and visions lying-wonders to lead out the vain mind into the liberty and boasting of high things in words without power but while such speak of liberty they are in bondage in mind to corrupt and fading things and while these are head in the creature there is not redemption but the bonds of iniquity are unloosed and the pure seed is oppressed and the plagues must pass upon that nature therefore sink down into the sufferings and death that you may find the door where at to enter for their is a vale of tears to pass thorough you shall find your well-springs in him where you shall drink of the water of Life and find refreshment and grow from strength to strength till you come up to Sion Stand take heed of word without spoken from the comprehensions for that feeds not the pure seed but feeds the wisdome which is above and the itching ears and so the pure is covered with earth and the fowls of the ayr is fed and no fruit is brought forth to perfection and take heed of that nature that would know more then God is willing to reveal for you shal find that unwilling to obey what it knows and take heed of that which desires to appear before men to be commended for that seldom deserves praise of God and let a godly conversation declare what is within and know one another in spirit and not in word and meet often together and wait upon God for his teaching alone in a cross to your own wils for therein is the secrets of God revealed Let love abound in you one towards another without being partial and I beseech by the love of God that you halt not between God and the world but as you profess that you are not of the world so let your conversation be out of its fashions customes and traditions and covetous practises that it may appear you are marked out for the Lords and that you are not ashamed to own that which differs and so walk as not to cast an offence on the Gospel that you become not a scorn to fools but let wisdome be justified of her children and take heed to that which would be exalted above others teaching and talking of things without life and you that would be counted somebody let such first learn to wash the feet of them they would be above and he that would be greatest let him be servant to all for it is the humble and not the high spirits that are taught of God and such so walk as their lives and practises teach and judge all vain light and heighty spirits and mind how you grow out of the earth and you own that which is the enmity and until you be brought out of the love of all visible things and wholly infolded into the love of God you cannot witness redemption nor receive the true joy that ariseth in the manifestation of the Love for it is only he that is brought up out of the death to raign over it whose heart is come out of the unrighteous Mammon who is entred into the Kingdome of righteousness joy and peace and as you arise out of the earthly bondage you shall witness the glorious liberty and so come to know your own measures every one in particular to improve it and not to boast above it another mans line and so you will come to see by what power you stand in your warfare how far you are Conquerors and who is your enemy at present and so be able to give an account in your selves of your faith and how you grow from faith to faith and dear friends watch over one another exhort reprove admonish in pure love and meekness of spirit least you also be tempted and all know that you are set as a City on a hill as signs to this Generation therefore lift up your light to all the world that all mouths may be stopped and hearts convinced so that all that see you may see you to be children of light and being judged by you may be ashamed of their deeds of darkness for great is the work of the Lord and blessed are they that are found faithful in it in what is committed to them Farewel deare hearts and the Lord God Almighty bless prosper and preserve you pure and clear unto his Kingdom Amen My love in the Lord salutes you all and if my Father please I shall be glad to see your faces in the flesh but his will is my peace who is blessed for evermore To all dear Brethren and Friends in Holdernes and in the East parts of Yorkshier and a lover of your souls Written from Nuby in the seventh month the last day JAMES NAYLER The Work of the Lord is great in those parts and he carries it on with a high hand hath got himself the Victory Praise the Lord with us all that know him who is worthy even him alone for ever DEar Brethren and Sisters you who are begotten again of the Word of Truth my bowels of love in the Lord Jesus runneth forth to you all and beware every one of you of lusting after the flesh pots of Egypt Earth end earthly things or after the Merchandise of Babylon the intising words of mans wisdom from whence the Lord in his eternal Love hath called you by revealing his Son in you who is the living Bread which came down from Heaven Dear Brethren forsake not this living Mercy for
