fruit and blessed wil all they be that are found in the Faith for it s they that are in the Vine and therein abide which wil yeild unto the Lord living fruit of obedience and every Tree wil be clearly known of what sort they are by their fruit for no man can gather grapes of Thorns or figs of thistles Therefore all to the Vine come that the nature thereof you may feel that so fruitful unto the Lord you may all be in this his glorious day to the praise and glory of his most holy Name for I have also seen in the Spirit of the living God that there wil be a mighty fierce storm a very great tempest and a shaking time such as hath not yet been upon the Earth by which those trees that are fruitless dead and dry which hath stood for a time and made a shew yet do but cumber the ground and are rotten at the root are not wel setled and fastned upon the true Foundation in the good ground they wil be turned up and laid low as without it hath been seen in which the Lord hath shewn his mighty Power though the blind do not see nor regard the operation of his hand And after that great and notable day of the Lord in which many of the lofty Hills and high Mountains wil be overturned and levelled thereby and the tall Cedars and the sturdy Oaks wil be made to bend and bow and many great old buildings wil be thrown off its rotten Foundation then I say in that day those that do stand and abide firm and wel fastned they wil be exceeding faithful to the praise and glory of the Lord and such his good Trees that are bringing forth fruit unto him in this his day them he wil purge prune dress prop and preserve and the wild Bores of the Forrest whose nature is to root rend and tear shall never be able to root them up neither shall the subtil Foxes of the Wood have power to crop and spoile their tender branches that abide in the living Vine neither shall they ever be able to hinder them from clustering for the Lord God wil guard them by his Power and uphold them by his Eternal Arm as hitherto he hath done neither wil he suffer the Swine to destroy his young Plants that are newly coming up but by his power they shall be fenced nourished and kept And so all my dear Friends be not at all discouraged although the Furnace may yet be hot for the Lord wil not suffer his Gold to come to loss therein but he wil save and bring it forth all that the good Metal shall lose therein shall be but its dross that it may shine the better in lustre to the honor of the Lord and also his good sheep he wil not suffer to be devoured by those old black Blood-hounds that thirst for blood Oh! no no my Friends he wil preserve them because they are his own gathered by his own hand and are profitable unto him Therefore I say he wil take care of them and though he do suffer the dogs which are without the fear loose a little to course them and drive them up in holes and pines for a season it is but that they may be driven from those rotten bogs of this Worlds enjoyments and delights which might otherwise be hurtful for them to feed upon that they might be driven nearer to himself and one unto another to wait upon the Lord and to feed together upon the Life that is Immortal and to lye down in his Fold of rest peace and joy which wil last for ever And so my dear Friends Brethren and Sisters Lambs and Babes what ever the Lord our good Shepherd suffers to come to pass or to be acted against us in the Heathens wrath and Enemies rage he wil turn it to his own praise and for our good and the remainder of the wrath rage of the wicked he wil restrain Therefore blessed are all you of the Lord that can say of a truth he is your good Shepherd So dear Lambs and Babes Plants and Children of the Lord in the Light live walk and for ever abide and you wil have unity and fellowship with the Father and one with another and so in the holy awe and pure dread of the Lord God Almighty stand continually and the peace and blessing of the Lord wil be felt by you and multiplied in and amongst you to the glory of his most holy Name to whom be all glory given honor and praise rendered with living obedience and thanksgiving for ever and for evermore Amen saith my soul.
