A89844	The power and glory of the Lord shining out of the north, or The day of the Lord dawning: wherein the true light is holden forth to all who desire to walk in the day. With a warning to the people of England of all sorts, not to oppose Christ in his kingdom. Shewing also the way how all flesh comes to know the Lord and fear him, by his terrible shaking the earthly part in man, witnessed by the holy men of God in Scripture. With a word to the serpents seed, or ministers of Antichrist, or man of sin, wherever he is found. By one whom the Lord hath called out of this dark world, into the true light, whom Ismaels brood calls a Quaker, whose name in the flesh is James Nayler.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Wing N302; Thomason E711_2; ESTC R207117	21,947	29

will it be ere you cease to pervert the ways of God for your own ends Oh that you had eyes to see that you might make peace with him least he tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver ANd now to you poor scattered sheep who have been scattered by these hirelings in this cloudy dark day which hath been upon all flesh spred upon the face of the earth and you have been running from mountain to hill to find the Lord but have not found him who is to give rest to your souls And many of you are still wandring you know not where Others have seated themselves under green trees and are worshipping you know not what but as others tell you who know as little of the true and living God as your selves Others are weary with seeking where nothing can be found and are fallen asleep in the world of ease and carelesness others have their ears open to all voices which cry lo here lo there but know not who to trust being all in confusion now all awake to meet the Lord who is arisen to seek and save and gather into one fold all his scattered ones and to bring them up to Zion the holy City where he will feed them himself alone without fear in good pasture where they shall lie down in peace now come off from all your blinde guides that are not in the way themselves nor can they direct others where the way is come out of the world and worldly cares and pleasures and return to the Lord in Spirit he is within you and there if you wait in Spirit you shall hear him speak to your spirits to the directing your minds out of all the works of darkness and sin up to God where no sin is nor unclean thing can come and if you minde to obey his voice he will teach you to lay aside all your dissembling hypocrisie whereby you have deceived your selves and others professing godliness in words but denying it in power and you will finde power given in from the Lord to become what you profess in reality and truth and to profess no more but what you are that God may have glory by you and take delight to dwell in you for this is the day of your visitation if you will own it the day of Salvation from all sin and unrighteousness the day wherein all the children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be their peace in righteousness shall they be established and they shall be far from oppression Isa 54. 13 14. Many of you have had great travel and gone through many sorrows to finde rest but have found none many prayers and tears but no answer of peace many days of seeking but have not found him whom your souls thirst after and all this because you have been seeking the living among the dead he is not to be found in the world nor formal worships nor in humane wisdom and learning but he is only to be found as he reveals himself freely to those who patiently wait for him in spirit Dear People to you that love the Lord above all earthly things and yet have not your minds directed where to wait for him to you I speak to your souls that lie in death till they hear the voice of the Son of God he is near you who is the way to the Father look not out he is within you that which I know declare I unto you and the way I know where I have found my beloved my Saviour my Redeemer my Husband my Maker who hath set me above all the world my sins my fears my sorrows my tears into his love to live with him in Spirit for ever but dying daily to all visible things praises praises to my Father for ever The night is far spent the day is at hand come out of darkness all that love the Lord into his marvellous light where you shall see what you have been and what you are redeemed from that you may live and praise the Lord for it is the living that praise the Lord and not the dead Arise come out of death come away and let us rejoyce together in his love in the life of our king even so Amen And you that are so much offended at perfection and being cleansed from sin I leave these Queries with you to consider 1.
