For as is the Tryal so will be the Name and as the Name must be so will be the Tryal and because the Name must be Great therefore the Tryal will be great and because the Tryal will be great that the Name may be great therefore hath the Lord moved me to let you know it That as Men ready and Expecting the Uttermost as to whatsoever may come upon You for your Tryal ye may be so as that the Lord may be glorified For this We know as among Men the greater the shock of the Battail is like to be and the more Signification there is of it the more is usually the Preparation thereunto especially if the Issue will turn the Ballance Absolute to the Destruction or Dominion of the One or Other and that for ever Men at such times use to prepare for use to Engage according to the concernment of the thing especially when it s for their All and that for Ever though but as to a Temporal Crown for which they strive and a Life which is but for a Moment in respect of the Eternal Day that attends it afterwards Therefore saith Christ What King going to make War against Another King sitteth not Down first and Consulteth Whether he be able with Ten Thousand to meet him that cometh against him with Twenty Thousand Or else whilst the Other is yet a Great way off he sendeth an Ambassage and Desireth Conditions of Peace Now Conditions of Peace You know you cannot have and your life remain nor can ye ask it your Life in you nor are you unable in your Life with Ten Thousand to meet him who cometh against you with Twenty Thousand Provided it be All you have For whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath cannot be my Disciple Saith Christ upon those his Words of a Kings going to War as aforesaid So likewise saith he Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not All that he hath cannot be my Disciple And this I Declare unto you in the Name of the Lord you will be Tryed for All you have within and without and to the Uttermost too before this hour be Over which is already Entered and the time is near For the Devil must be cast out who hath long Usurp't it in the Creation of God Over his Seed which hath lain in Death So that the Lord hath not been known by Men who hath filled them with food and gladness Nor can he be known but by his Seed and the Seed is come that the Lord may be known which is the Heir of all things which moves to cast out him that hath Usurp't that the Lord may be known and he that hath Usurp't moves and will move against the Seed that he may not be cast out and into the Pit out of which he came and into which he must Return that the Seed of the Lord may Inherit the Earth and Possesse his Holy Mountain Therefore will he Rage because his time is short and withall the Artifices and Deceit Imaginable will seek to preserve his Station and to draw whom he can into it That his Torment may not come For he knoweth that when that is Risen which is Lord of All and ascends into ●is Throne out of which It hath long been by him Kept he must be Tormented and that his Torment will be for Ever and Ever and that he will have No Place then but his Own in the Lake that burneth with Fire and Brimstone which is the second Death And this he knowes as I have said and who it is that is come the second Time without Sin unto Salvation To whom he said in that Day of his Flesh W● know thee who thou art Jesus the Son of God Art thou come to Torment Us before Our time And wrought against him till they brought him to the Crosse Where by Death he Overcame him who had the Power of Death which is the Devil and spoiled Principalities and Powers and made shew of them Openly on his Cross Yet that time passed away as ye know and an Apostacy there was from that state which his Disciples were in after his Resurrection of which he foretold as Did his Apostles and which So came to Pass and which hath been Even until now that Life is rose again in the Witnesses which lay slain in the great City which Spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where Our Lord was Crucified and they stand upon their feet and the Kingdom and the Dominion and the Greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven is Returning unto the People of the Saints of the Most High whose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom and all Dominions shall serve and obey him to whom It is given As Daniel saw and spake of and John in the Revelations that so it should be And now It beginning to be so and the time drawing nigh wherein it shall be finished He works and will work what he can that he may not be taken out of the Way and moves as and where he hath Place and as that which Letteth is taken out of the Way to Preserve his Kingdom stirring with the Kings of the Earth and the Great Men and the Mighty Men and the Captains and the Chief Counsellors and in all Men both High and Low and Rich and Poor in whom he is to draw them to Battel against the Great Day of the Lord God and against his Army which are chosen Faithful and true that follow him which sits on the White Horse upon White Horses in fine Linen White and clean And against him that sits on the White Horse that goes forth Conquering and to Conquer who hath on his Vesture and on his Thigh a Name written King of Kings and Lord of Lords And as he works in the World so he doth and will among Friends what he can where he is yet uncast out and hath yet a Place as he can work that he may keep a Place and station in them and out of his secret Places may appear to slay the Innocent and to Keep that from Rising which is Lord and King For whilst Men have slept the Envious One hath sowed Tares even where the good Seed was sown which have sprung up with the Seed and have hurt and choaked it in some and there he works where yet there remains that undone away which was before convincement or that he can Deceive or that he hath got advantage upon by the negligence of any or the falling of such into Transgression and there remaining and there he is making his Forts Night and Day and strengthning them that he may be able to withstand his Appearance who shall Destroy him with the Brightness of his coming and keep him under at least as to the Particular of this and that Friend who is Lord of all and that such may be made serviceable to him and unserviceable to the Lord in that Day and that he may be kept from Arising in them and they may
