A56039	To the flock of God every where gathered out of the worlds wayes, worships, and false separations, into the way of truth, worship of the spirit, and its pure guidance, where true satisfaction and peace is witnessed, that you all may keep there for there is your rest for ever, and your safety in time of your trouble; that none may gad or go astray out of the way of truth for the love of any thing: for such shall meet with tribulation, anguish and wrath from the Lord God Almighty.	Parke, James, 1636-1696.	1666 (1666)	Wing P374; ESTC R221400	4,632	10

they that strive with you shall perish and the Lord will be with you and go before you that remain stedfast and constant in the love of his Truth and People if you travel on not turning to the right-hand or to the left nor gad abroad to change your way for if any forsake the Lord who is the Way or his Work and Testimony in meeting together with the Saints Servants of God that feel his presence with them how should they expect but the Lord should leave them and slight them that slight his Work and Testimony which so signally he hath owned and led us on in wherein also we have witnessed an overcoming of Sin and the Devils works as the Children of the Lord did in the Generations past I say how should such but grow cold dry and barren and lose their savour and so be good for nothing but to be trodden under foot of men who stumble at and slight and cause others to stumble at and slight the manifest Requirings of God to meet together to speak of the things of his Kingdom to wait upon and worship him as our former manner was So dear Friends abide in the Seed which keeps true single constant and unmovable alwayes abounding in the unfeigned Love of God that his Work may prosper in you and you be kept upright to the Lord rejecting every evil way and spirit which gathers not into that which is wholsom and sound which you have heard from the beginning and been assured of by manifold Testimonies from Heaven which God's Witness in you hath answered to that have believed and obeyed from your hearts what was delivered unto you and are preserved in the same Love Life and heavenly Unity of the One Spirit by which all the Plants of God were quickened and kept fresh and green through sundry storms and tempests which they have past through and been exercised in both inwardly and outwardly O dear Friends shut out the Wicked-One and lend not an ear to his Allurements nor open an eye to look out at the Glory of this World which in the Invisible you may see passing away very swiftly and the Glory of all flesh God is staining and through all his Judgments revealed manifesting the emptiness and uncertainty of all things under the Sun So dear Friends feel dominion over all that which is uncertain and fading away and stand in the Dread of God over all Changeables and them that are subject to change their way and that run out in high-mindedness self-seeking feigned-flatteries with the tongue when their hearts are not with you And be all in Reality what you profess in words and let Truth guide you in all things and beware of strengthning the Bad in one another when you at any time see one another let your words be few and savoury seasoned with Salt that they may administer Grace to the hearers and covet the wholsomest words and the best gifts and follow the things that make for Peace as much as in you lieth and provoke one another to Love and to good works And if any be a Talker or a Busie-body or a false Accuser or a Backbiter or a Slanderer going about prating of things they ought not warn such unruly spirits and withdraw from them that they may be ashamed that they may be reproved sharply and exhorted to mind their own business still desiring that they might come to the acknowledgment of their Sins and to Repentance for them and forsake them So dear Friends the God of all Grace establish you and keep you in that which works for God and which is able to present you all spotless and unblamable in Holiness for truly God through his abundant mercy and kindness hath extended Life to us that were dead and by his Power hath raised the Dead and opened the Graves and you that are now come forth of the graves of sin and iniquity that sometime dwelt in the dust can now sing being awakened out of the sleep of Death wherein the World and all the salse gatherings lie so rejoyce and triumph over Death and that which would draw into Death Darkness again and prize the Truth in which Life and Salvation is found and witnessed O turn not from it for if any one turn from it condemnation and misery shall come upon them which they shall not be able to escape whithersoever they run to hide themselves or to save their lives they shall lose them the Lord will find them out and will bring torment and distress upon them morning by morning they shall have no rest nor peace all joy shall be taken from them when the Faithful come to rejoyce and clap their hands for joy after the days of their Mourning be over then shall sorrow and sadness mourning and bitter lamentations come upon all that are not faithful to the Lord in their day Therefore dear Friends you that know the Truth prize it more and more be faithful to its requirings and value it more than all visible things prize nor esteem any thing though never so delightful or profitable as the Truth and the Truth will free you from all that which would hurt and keep you over all to the Glory of God keep it and it will be your life it will preserve you and be a Sanctuary of safety for you when the scourge of the Almighty passeth through the Land with greater severity to destroy and cut off its Inhabitants than yet hath been known in our generation Oh! Blessed are you that have a habitation dwel in the Truth the infallible way to God you need not look for another for there is no other unto God but Christ whom we have believed in who is the Way the Truth and the Life in whom I remain your Brother and Companion in Sufferings Exercises and Tribulations for the Gospels sake which is the Power of God Written near Colchester in Essex the 5th of the 8th mon. 1666.
