war and against you all is it already proclaimed and your utter destruction and ruine is determined of the Lord God of power unlesse ye come down to the light in your Consciences and take hold of that which is his strength and so make peace and agree with your adversary quickly while he is in the way He is not come to bring salve for you but a sword not to build but to destroy and pull down the wall you have built that 's daubed with untempered morter Now is the Sword of the Lord drawn and made ready for the slaughter and shall be bathed in Heaven and made fat with the bloud of Bulls Rams and Goats even in the blond of all them who are in the stubborn fighting and tearing nature which have devoured grieved and oppressed the innocent lambs and scattered the sheep of my Fathers pasture now is the axe laid to the trees root which hath cumbred the ground read within Christ the light of the world which lighteth every man and Satan hath been exalted in the temple of God and in you hath shewed and sate as God and upon the land of my people is come up thorns and briars and man which was made upright and perfect is gone from the light within in which he was created and hath sought on t many inventions and there hath been seeking the Lord in his thoughts where God was not to be found Come all you Professors Priests and people and Magistrates to the light in you for there is a way in the wilderness which no other eye can see read Job 28.7 if you have an ear to hear there is a path which no fowl knoweth and which the Vulters eye hath not seen the Lions whelp hath not trodden it nor the fierce Lion passed by it Isai 35.8 in the habitation of Dragons an highway shall be there and a way and it shall be called the way of holiness the unclean shall not pass over it but the redeemed of the Lord shall return and walk therein and the ransomed of the Lord shall come to Sion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads they shall obtain joy gladness sorrow and sighing shall flee away in this day shall be fulfilled that which is written by the Prophet With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of Salvation Isai 12.5 Sing unto the Lord for he hath done excellent things this is known in all the earth cry out and shout thou inhabitant of Sion for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee and then shall the mountain of the Lords House be established on the top of all the mountains of Israel where the sheep have been scattered even when the Lord hath thorowly purged away your dross and taken away all your Tin and Sion redeemed with judgement and her converts with righteousness mark your body is the house where judgement must begin and the destruction of the transgressors and sinners shall be together they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed for they shall be as an Oak whose leaf fadeth and as a garden that hath no water read and understand Isai the first The wise men with the ear that can hear and the strong shall be as tow and the maker of it as a spark and they shall both burn together and none shall quench them And I will restore thy Judges as at the first and thy Counsellors as at the beginning Remember Moses the Judge and Counsellor who was faithful in all his house afterwards thou shalt be called the Citie of righteousness the faithful Citie and this is that new Jerusalem which is free and the Mother of us all and the Citie and the way wherein no unclean thing shall enter but they that have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Consider this all ye that speak of being justified by Christ but live at ease and pleasure and are yet in your sins Rev. 7.13 And one of the Elders answered saying unto me What are these which are arrayed in white robes and whence came they And he said to me these are they which came out of great tribulation and have followed me in the regeneration and are come from far out of the degeneration and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his Temple consider there is no night there and he that sitteth on the Throne shall dwell among them they shall hunger no more neither thirst any more neither shall the Sun light on them nor any heat mark ye hot Professors for the Lamb that is in the midt of the Throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and these are they which sing the new song who are passed from the old things from death to life and stand before the Throne of God and these have the new name even their Fathers Name and the Name of the City of their God which name none knows but they that have it written in their foreheads and here is our joy and our glorying is not in the flesh nor our boasting in self but we glory in God and our souls shall make their boasts in the Lord this shall trouble the prond but the humble shall hear thereof and be glad That we know our Redeemer liveth and our election made sure unto us which cannot be deceived and our Names written in the Lambs Book of life before the foundation of the world was laid in mans heart oh every one that hungreth and thirsteth eat of the bread which satisfies and feed no longer nor spend your money for that which satisfies not come all to the waters which he hath shewed us as he did to John Rev. 22.1 A pure river of water of life clear as chrystal proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb in the midst of the streets of it come down to the eye and see the River that hath streets and of either side of the River was there the tree of life which bare twelve manner of fruits and yeeldeth her fruit every moneth and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the Nations This is the first resurrection the first and the last the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end and abides a Priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedeck without beginning of days or end of life Consider this all ye that are accusing us for denying the resurrection but are yet in your sins and have no part in the first resurrection which we are witnesses of for they are blessed and holy that hath part of the first resurrection for on such the curse death and hell hath no power blessed are they that do his Commandments yea more blessed then they that talk of them for they shall have right to this

for betraying his Lord as many of this Nations teachers do for money O England that thou wouldest but consider lest this glorious day of Gods everlasting light and love passe over you and the night come when thou canst not work therefore all you prophane ones that seem to be religious but your tongue is yet at liberty and unbridled O what will ye do upon your death beds Where will ye hide your selves when the Judgement begins in the Temple and the songs of the house be turned into howling what will ye do and how will ye give an account for every idle word which ye in your life time have spoken for which ye have been condemned by Gods Witnesse in your Consciences you that live in sinne and not in Christ and cannot cease from sinne it is because they are gone from the power even the light of the world which is the way of righteousnesse in which whosoever walks stumbles not nor sins not the well is neer come down into the deep come to the Rock eat honey and be satisfied and let your souls delight it self in fatnesse love not the world nor the pleasures delights and vanities thereof but love the light which is not of the world for if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him But thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and this is the strait way and a gate too narrow for any lustfull one to walk in the vain talker is not here it is a path too narrow for all them which are speaking of Christ the strait way but themselves their tongues and their hearts at liberty in the flesh And O that you would consider you that spend your dayes in vanity will not this prove bondage and bitternesse in the latter end O that you were wise to lay it to heart That you would consider your latter end the glorious liberty which is not in the flesh nor in the lusts thereof which the servants and Sons of God enjoy whom you are accusing as the worst of men did you but possesse one day surely you would cast away all your lovers and say What have I to do any more with Idols I call you all to partake with me who are afar off and separated from the Lord by sin as I have sometime long been and in that state I was reading and studdying the Scriptures and the vail being over my heart I could not see them for they were a parable to me as now they are to you But now hath the Lord in his unsearchable loving kindnesse which is great towards me and I cannot utter it hath revealed his Sonne in me which makes manifest and reveals the Father yea he hath commanded his light to shine out of darknesse which was vailed over in my heart while I was in darknesse and could not comprehend it therein I say it was his love to me when I was in hatred and enmity against him following the imaginations of my evil heart and being in captivity and bondage to diverse hists and sin was entred and death by sin reigned over the seed to whom all the Promises were the seed is Christ the Son of God and the grace of God and manifestation which bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men and did all but obey it not rebel against it or grieve it it would be a sufficient Saviour of it self to every man and this you must all feel working rising and operating in your hearts and in meekness and lowliness of mind must ye receive this ingrafted Word that ye may grow thereby and here is the true growth in grace rather then words or wisedom in purity and power rather then in a painted profession of which there is enough and too much in the world because they are sayers and not doers professing Christ which they possess not And oh how sad is it to hear people saying They hope to be saved by Christ and that they are accepted with God in Christ Jesus and yet this hope doth not purifie them as he is pure and so must needs be but as a Spiders web for sin is a shame for any people but all who comes to know the true hope which is Christ in you the hope of glory it makes not ashamed for it purifies the heart and redeems man both out of sin and shame and what is your faith that leaves you thus in this world and gives you not victory over it is not your faith vain and all vain while Christ is not risen in you you are in your sins and your righteousness is it any better if so good as the Scribes and Pharisees which made clean the out-side but inwardly are full of all abomination therefore come to that and feel the Lords Talent in you and hide it no longer in the earth but improve it to the utmost for that will not be to give an account with joy but grief this talent is the grace and light of Christ which to every man and woman hath appeared and this is not common grace as your Teachers tell you but it is the saving grace and would save every man and would not the death of any man did they but obey it and not always rebel against it therefore hear this all yet rebels even to you I speak which have long grieved and vexed the good Spirit of the Lord with whom he is yet striving be ye never so wicked and vile though your sins be as red as scarlet and though you have deeply corrupted your selves and your spot is not the spot of his children to you I say in the Spirit of the Lord give not sentence against your selves by saying Your wound is incurable yea though you have betrayed and crucified the innocent in you do not say that your punishment is greater then can be born nor your sin greater then can be forgiven for be ye as far off as ever the Prodigal was or as far off as ever I sometime was yet if ye do but say in your heart I have sinned and it profiteth me not I will go and return to my Fathers house against whom I have sinned the father himself will come out to meet you as he did me even I who was disobedient and afar off being led away of divers lusts which ruled in my heart while the God of this world had blinded my eye which should have seen my Saviour and then shewed and smote me for in my Conscience even me hath he gathered off the mountains to himself yea he hath brought me very neer and reconciled to himself by the blood of his Son that I might make known unto you his everlasting kindness in calling sinners to repentance while they are in their sins and that in the mouth of two or three Witnesses this Truth may be confirmed to you all I with Ezekiel and Peter do set to my Seal and bring in my Testimony

read 2 Peter 3.15 Ezek. 33.10 to 20. That God desireth not the destruction or the death of him which is destroyed but had rather they would own his light which is Christ his power and strength and would and doth give power over all sin yea even power to become the Sons of God which sin not And this I declare to you all is not of man nor mans righteousness which is as filthy rags yet it is in man and there fulfils the righteousness of the Law now in the Saints as ever he did Rom. 8.4 that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit v. 14. for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God mark the wise Professors Prayers and such as say ye observe the Ordinances and use the means and say you cannot be perfect in this life but say ye are justified by Christs righteousness which suffered at Jerusalem beyond the Sea vers 4. that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us Consider this you that would make Christ a cover for your sins as all doe who know not Christ in them the hope of glory Therefore call not us deceivers any longer but see how Satan is exalted in you and ye your selves are deceived which are in your sins and beguiled and cast the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus which all that are in sin not and this is true Justification for any to be in Christ where old things and sin is done away for which man is condemned and unto which the Law was and is added and abides in force while men are in their sins though in that state which is woful and for condemnation You will say you are not under the Law but under Grace therefore count not this deceit any longer as you have formerly done but consider what have ye to be deceived of seeing ye are in your sins and have lost the elect which cannot be deceived and the Apostles did not write to such as you are but to the Saints that were in Christ Jesus and had something more then you have who are in your sins to be deceived of Therefore all come down unto Christ the light of the world which lighteth every man that cometh into the world which is the eye and ye shall see all your prayers righteousnesses Means and Ordinances which you use to get Christ is all one in the sight of God with your swearing lying and drunkenness read Isai 66. v. 2. to 5. Hearken unto this ye proud Professors but trembles not at the Word of the Lord He that killeth an Oxe as if he slew a man he that sacrificeth a lamb as if he cut off a dogs neck he that offereth an oblation as if he offered swines blood he that burneth Incense as if he blessed an Idol Consider the ground and reason of this ye that say ye cannot be perfect and holy in this life whether ye are not in your own wayes and whether ye have not chosen your own wayes and your souls delighted in that which is abomination unto Christ who is the way the truth the life and he that is in it sinneth not what ever you may say who are in your own inventions and righteousnesse but are far off from the righteousnesse which is near to be revealed in the heart as all are who say Revelations are ceased for I declare to you all from my own experience not from the Letter but from the Spirit and Power of the Lord that I never heard the Voice nor knew the things of God from the Letter but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ for it hath pleased the Father to reveal his Son in me who is the light in which light I see light and the Father revealed who is the fountain thereof and broken Cisterns and corrupt Fountains are all drinking out of and feeding upon the wind and windy doctrine and vain hopes and eating that which dieth of it self and doth not satisfie and are all blind and dead in their sins are all they which saith that Revelation are ceased And this is a general cry with Priests and Professors who are gone in the way of Balaam and abides not in the Doctrine of Christ which should reveal the Father and of all Sects and Opinions whatsoever they are crying none can hear the Voice of Christ now but in the Letter To you I say who are setting up the Bible to be your Rule instead of the Spirit as the Jewes did who thought to have eternal life in the Scriptures and were painted as ye are with the Saints words being inwardly ravened from the light and spirit of the Lord which doth reveal as ever it did the things of God I say you are not like to hear his voice who are gone from the hearing ear nor to see his shape who are gone from the Light the seeing eye but the Saints and sheep did then hear his Voice and followed him and I witnesse his Voice to be heard now as ever it was and thousands in England besides me though I do confesse you which have the sheeps clothing but are not sheep do not nor cannot hear his Voice no more than the Jewes did who had the same clothing but were inwardly ravened from the Spirit of the Lord. Therefore all that would know God or the things of God must come to the measure of the Spirit in them a measure of which is given to every man to profit withall and this is nigh you in your hearts and as ye finke downe ye shall feele it working rising and operating in you and as ye are still ye shall feele ye spirit of the holy and pure God which hath been imprisoned and held in captivity under Pharaoh and the man of sin which hath been exalted in you above the spirit of God in you so all in this wait which is underneath the power of darkness and shineth in the darkness and out of the darkness shall it arise for he hath long dwelt in thick darkness and round about him hath been Clouds deep Waters I say wait in patience all you that sit in the region and shadow of death and the light shall rise until darknesse be under his feet even those dark mountains where you have been scattered and are scattered and how beautiful shall you witnesse his feet to be upon the Mountains Tongue nor Pen cannot utter even he that publisheth Salvation and saith unto Sion thy King raignes and this is the raigne of Christ and the only raign which the Scripture declares of That all his enemies should be under his feet for he must raign till he have subjected all things to himself even all that which hath captivated the Seed in Egyptian darknesse And then shall come to passe that saying which is written and nor till then Here is the patience of the Saints and here shall you feel the sufferings of Christ that are behinde and here is the time of Tryal and the very day of Jacobs trouble when he that hath led into captivity must go into captivity even as he ascends out of the grave and the pit he receiveth gifts for men but man is not meet to partake of the gift until that nature which would devour be destroyed And I say in bowels of everlasting love whose hearts are but breathing though never so little after the Lord speak not evil of that you know not nor judge nothing before the time until the spirit rise out of prison in you unto whom all judgement is committed and he will judge even he who is the judge of all the earth aright he will not condemn the righteous with the wicked nor slay the righteous with the wicked though man may who is gone from the spirit of truth in himself and knows not that there is a lie in his right hand and so calls good evil and evil good and puts light for darknesse himself being in that darkness and darknesse for light I am grieved for the sons of men at my very heart and greatly am I oppressed therewith and the iniquity of many lieth upon my life and I am pressed therewith as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves And oh how am I greived to see people that call themselves Christians and profess the scripturers to be their rule how contrary thereunto they walke and yet are condemning us for denying the scriptures who are in the life of them And as for your being Christians there is no such thing for you do not at all resemble God whom you say is your Father nor Christ his Son who loveth righteousness and hates iniquity and whose loins are girt with righteousnesse and whose throne is established in holiness and the Scepter of his Kingdom is a right Scepter and his Kingdom is everlasting and in his people and consist in righteousness Power and Glory And not in talke and words which you are in without the power or Joy in the Holy Ghost and yet you are saying you are his brethren but to you all I say who are in vaine words vain thoughts and actions in pleasure frendships and customes of the world which fades away as a flower and withereth as grass all repent and turn to the Light that you may see your sad conditions and from whence and from what are you fallen for he owns you not ye workers of iniquity all your Sacrifices while you commit sin or regard iniquity in your hearts are abomination to the Lord Isai 66.3 And so to you all and in love to your souls I say Come down for your strength is to stand still and to feel a seed in your selves though it be but as a grain of mustard and as you in patience wait low out of every thought reasoning and imagination which vails and clouds this pure seed which I speak of you shall see or feel it arise in you grow and multiply as the stars in the Firmament and as the sands in the Sea shore without number THE END
