be done to Strengthen their Faith that they may come into the Heavenly Vnity with the Father in the Son and Sit down with all them that have been made Conformable to Christ in his Suffering and Death that in the Heavenly Resurrection Blessed and Everlasting Peace they may Sing Halelujah and High Praises to the Lord their God over all the wrath that 's in the Children of men which will come to an end and vanish away like Smoak before you whom the Lord hath called in meekness and Patience to bear his Name in Righteousness in the Sweet Savoury Spirit of Iesus Christ over all Blessed for ever Amen In which the Lord keep you all with my Soul Faithful unto the end is the Breathings of the Spirit of your Brother and Companion in the Kingdom of Patience and Tribulation in the Lord Jesus Christ. William Dewsbury ANd further I have this to communicate to my Friends and Brethren that what hath come to pass these late years for want of Watchfulness to be Guided by the Spirit of the Lord Love hath been quenched in many that Offences hath entred and Separation followed which hath Deeply wounded my Spirit who have endeavoured to the utmost of my Power in the Love of God to prevent such Proceedings and so have I done in many years past in preventing Papers ready to be Printed from being Published that were of a tendency to quench the Love of one towards another And when Ieffery Bullocks Papers were published in Print which would appear to the Reader of a tendancy as to the Breach of Vnity which would cause the Enemies of God to Rejoyce it did so wound my Spirit that for many Weeks they that saw me did not expect that I would continue long in the Body But God in his Mercy Restored Strength in his Appointed time And when I did hear that some in the West did intend to Publish in Print some Friends Weaknesses I Bore my Testimony against such Proceedings and told one that did Favour what was intended That I would have my Hand Cut off before I would Exercise it in such Undertakings as the state of Friends was at that time And desired him To speak to W. R. that he would not proceed in Publishing any thing of that Nature for if he did it would be a prejudice to Truth and would produce very sad Consequences that would follow and my Spirit would be deeply wounded as it is this day through these Proceedings that voluntarily through want of Love casts away the Iudgment that is given to the people of the Saints of the most High God to keep all sweet and savoury amongst us into the Hands of the Enemies of God as an inlet for them to come into the midst of us to sit as Iudges and trample upon us So to Clear my Conscience of all False Reports Cast upon me as that I have Encouraged what is Brought forth as before written and to Satisfie all Friends in God I have Laboured according to the Ability God hath given me to Prevent the Publishing all things of that Nature as aforsaid and have Endeavoured with all concerned that I could meet with to have a care of watching for Evil lest they Provoke one another to Wrath and so Quench the Love But rather Look at the Good one in another and in the Love of God Minister to Preserve them forth of any Weakness they did see lay near to attend them that so the Pure Holy Spirit of Light Life and Love that first Gathered us into it self to be a People in God and in his Blessed Authority to reign over what was and is contrary to his Blessed Nature may again Restore where it is wanting in the Vniversality of its Blessed Power to make up the Breaches and to Restore the Desolate ones in causing every one that Professeth the Biessed Truth of God to love their Neighbour as themselves and so to do unto all as they would have others to do unto them that so all concerned in the Exercise in the Measure of the Grace of God in Christ that seeks the Peace of his People may Stand as Saviours upon mount Sion to the Honour of the Name of the Lord our God and the Eternal Comfort of all that Love not their Lives unto Death to serve the Lord and his Dear and Chosen People in the Meek Patient and Peaceable Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. In which the Lord keep you all with my Soul that in his Pure and Peaceable Dominion we all Reign and throw down our Crowns before his Throne and all Vnanimously Sing all Glory Honour Praises Thanksgiving and Dominion be given to him who is found worthy to sit upon his Throne in all our Consciences Christ Jesus the True Light and hope of our Glory even so be it withall that Professeth his Blessed Truth Saith my Soul in the Name of the Lord.
