sees no corruption whose light shines in the very darkest of mankind though they comprehend it not but when that Light which is the same also of them that love and live in it shines by good works as it ought before meer men that as yet remain in darkness then they may be induc'd to glorifie the heavenly Father of Spirits and Lights of all degrees or measures as well that rule by night as by day or of seven dayes together gathered into the glory of one 'T is love even love universal that hath imbreathed and its beauty inamoured the soules of some that are but few of many whereby they do as it were burn with holy desires to live in union with all mankind yea with the whole Creation and not an Oxe or an Asse or any other Creature that groanes and travels together in pain till now but as it waits for so it rejoyces in this glorious liberty of the sons of God who will ere long be better known among the sons of men than heretofore even by going forth and growing up as Calves of the stall not to be markt out for slaughter as they have been but by treading down the wicked things and persons like ashes under the soales of their feet when the Lord shall by fire and his spiritual sword plead with all flesh and the slain of the Lord rather then of his People in whom he shall be admired will be very many because now the weapons of the Saints warfare will appear daily not carnal but more and more spiritual inabling them to single out and encounter those spiritual wickednesses in the high places of their own hearts and others thereby bringing down the mighty from their seats and exalting them that are of low degree and all this without any destroying in that holy mountain of God where they converse which in this respect is lifted up above all others and will suddenly fill the whole earth O ye Victorious Army of the Lamb who on white horses as Emblems of Peace and Love and in linnen white and clean which betokens the innocence and righteousnesses of Saints have followed him that is now gone forth conquering and to conquer glorious is and will be the triumph by the death of the Cross over all created excellencies as well as impure defilements by abandoning the adultrous spirit of this world O ye that witness the conquest of desire to any carnal pleasure which tends but to stupifie the immortal soul of man and bring it into the sleeps or slumbers of eternal death great is your wisdom in determining to know nothing but Christ and him crucified and in standing alwayes delivered up to death for Jesus sake that the life of Christ might the more be manifest in your mortal flesh great is your power and authority in the world as you appear already risen with Christ by seeking those things that are above as ye are living witnesses of the first Resurrection mystical so you tell the world that the literal is not far off and therefore what Prisons or Inquisitions can longer hold you what outward Chains can bind you that are inwardly free who is it that will harm you that are followers of good but eschew the evil in every appearance O ye that have chosen the most solitary paths that an earthly pilgrimage could yeeld therein to meet your Beloved whose love is better than wine that does but refresh and exhilerate for a season and then the natural man that is served becomes as heavy as before 't was tasted but the pleasure of your love and espousals with the Lamb knows no end it grows in you and you in it with such divine increases till it swallowes up words and thoughts as those narrow medium's which are far below and too strait for the expression of that loving life which is incapeable of any confinement but enlarges it self freely in and unto all that entertain it You that have conquered the great and last enemy and that by yeelding daily to it what other enemies but either are or will be at peace with you because you fear not them but love and fear him that commands all hearts and hands yea the very stones of the street and beasts of the field will be in league with you not to offend but defend you though because your munition of rocks and wall of fire is never wanting all other help from without is wholly needless and such as offer it do rather express their own love than your desire of any guard or regard but what alwayes comes from heaven before you call or ask it Your Wisdom is from above What Serpent can beguile you you are redeemed from the Power of all things below What Scorpion or deadly Poyson can hurt you ye are past the Fear of Pain no Tyrant can torment you yea you have past thorow Sorrows Sighs and Tears beyond them you are neither to be exalted or abased by any thing which Flesh can give or take your Life Peace and Joy is endless because your Love is stronger than Death Who will not bend or yield to you and take hold of your skirts O ye inward Jews circumcised in heart and be called by your New-name for all your Names are given by Him whose Name is One that no man knows but he that hath it Your Language one and not divided Your Church but one and not rent in Schisms Sects or Divisions And therefore not Carnal but Spiritual unknown invisible to the World but well known to Christ your Head and one another O ye that admit no Buyers or Sellers in your inner Man the Lord's Temple but are freed from Cares and Cumbers of this World having sold all your Possessions personal to gain the real and therefore have not spent your Money for that which is not Bread and does not satisfie but laid it all down at the great Apostles feet with a free willing mind to quit all single selfish property that is from beneath for that universal equal Liberty that is from above and as well to distribute or communicate your Wealth of good Works to an Enemy or poor Stranger as unto a Friend or Brother What man or sort of men under the Sun when they see you walk by this Principle but will desire your ruling with if not over them You are the Governours of Judah that rule with God because God rules in you and alwayes checks the entrance of any other that is strange or forreign to his All-pure impartial Spirit you that have learn'd of Shiloh the prosperer to heal Breaches and restore Paths to dwell in What People Nation or Language will not ask your Help to new lay their Foundations renew their Land-marks to re-build the wast Places and Desolations of many Generations All Government in things spiritual you yield to Christ onely in things temporal to Him and the Nations whereof he is as well King as of Saints yea the Heathen are his Inheritance and the utmost parts
