THE blind Watchman cries Watch but cannot but I as to the outward being Imprisoned for the Truth am at Liberty in the Spirit of the Lord with you all that are therewith guided and rejoyce in that the World cannot comprehend where lyes the Unity and the true Welfare even Fulness for all that are Obedient to the Lord in what is made known to them to be the Will of God and are found doing it Let this Enclosed with this be read at your Meetings amongst Friends in the Fear of God in which Meeting and Waiting whilst you are together and being kept when asunder all other Fear will be kept forth and you brought into the Blessedness For Blessed is the Man that feareth always A Letter to John Hebden my Brother after the Flesh I Am in Health and Well every way being and knowing my self to be in Obedience to the Will of God in this Condition and how long here I do not desire to known for that which would is for Condemnation with the Light that comes from Christ Jesus in obeying whereof the true Peace is But this is a Mystery to the Carnal Mind but to be Carnally Minded is Death and to be Spiritually Minded is Life and Peace is witnessed Praises to the Lord God Almighty for evermore Therefore in Love running forth to thy Soul I exhort thee Consider what it is thy Mind is upon whether upon things Carnal or upon things made known by the Movings of the Spirit of the Lord in thee to be thy Duty to do A Talent God hath given a Measure of his Spirit unto every Man to profit withal and the Movings thereof in every one is cross and contrary to the Will of Man For Prophecies is times of old came not by the Will of Man but holy Men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost Say not That was so then but can any expect it to be so now Who say it cannot make God changeable and not a Fulfiller of his Promise who saith Sons and Daughters shall Prophesie and upon Servants and Handmaids he will pour forth of his Spirit and they shall Prophesie Therefore that in thee which calls with a still low Voice as if it were behind thee when thou turnest either to the right Hand or to the left from That which the Righteous Pure and Holy Law of God makes known unto thee to be thy Duty to do or to leave undone To that give heed and thou shalt do well as the Apostle Peter saith as to a light shining in a dark place until the day dawn and the day-star arise in thy Heart And this Light shines in Darkness although the Darkness comprehend it not and so I know it is whith many as it was with me this Light did shine in me althogh the Darkness in me did not know what it was but when I came to know it and to be faithful in little things but it made known to be Sin avoiding them and by it little things which was made known to be my Duty doing them I came to find the Increase of God and whoso will not be Faithful in a little can never be made Ruler over much Who shall entrust him with it Nay that little is even taken from him and that unprofitable Servant is cast into utter Darkness where is Weeping and Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth so it was I did witness it But there is no Condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit Time was when Paul found a Law in his Members warring against the Law in his Mind so it was there was something in me that would as with the Apostle have served the Law of God but he found a contrary power giving way to it led him captive to commit Sin and then he cried out of his Wretchedness But he here did not rest himself satisfied as the Professors of the World now do who take this Condition of his when he cries out under the Burden of his Misery and in his Warfare to plead for a Hold for Sin and Satan in them so long as they live but he looks up to Christ and thanks God that he gave him the Victory through him and then he says There is no Condemnation and That the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus had made him free from the Law of Sin and Death Which Condition is now witnessed the Conquest gotten by the same Conqueror and here is nothing of the Will of Man in it That hath neither Part nor Lot in this matter but the Work is the Lord 's only by that of himself in the Creature he joying to the Gift of God the Creature comes to Witness it Praises to our God for ever From a Well-wisher of thy Soul whose desire is that he may write himself thy Brother in that which the World cannot comprehend nor be bound by them wherein is the Unity of Saints and Rejoycing in the Lord in Spirit Roger Hebden York-Castle the 3d of the 1st Month 1665.
