A General Epistle to all who have believed in the Light of the Lord Iesus and are called of God to follow the Lamb through the Great Tribulation Dear Friends WHom God hath called out of the world and the vanities of it to serve the living God in newness of life and to be worshippers of him in Spirit and truth and to be followers of Christ in the regeneration and to be baptized with him into his suffering and death that so you may be partakers of his resurrection and life and manifest unto all that you are risen with him out of the grave of sin wickednesse and death by having your hearts renewed and your affections and minds set to seek those things which are above which are not transitory and visible but everlasting and immortal by which the souls of all the righteous and obedient children are refreshed and nourished up unto eternal life and through the eternal power of the Son of God which hath been and is manifest among them that believe in the measure of his Spirit and keep their first love and integrity unto the Lord all his are preserved out of the temptation of the adversary within and without who seeks to root out that which God hath planted and to nip the blossom and the bud which God hath caused to spring forth through his tender love in your hearts so that you might die to the good and be spoiled in that wherein all your happinesse lieth now and for ever Oh therefore all watch and be circumspect so much the more against temptations lest you be ensnared and your faith fail and you fall short of the promise of God in not continuing faithful to the end friends a care and a tender love and a godly jealousie is in my he●rt to you and over you all that have believed that none of you may be lost and scattered again in the desarts and mountains and dry and parched places where you have sometimes been in the time of unbelief where the Goats who are rough can feed that must go unto the left hand and have the curse The zeal of the Lord and his truth which so gloriously hath been manifest among you above all the people and families of the earth in our generation constrains me thus to write unto you and to stir you up unto faithfulnesse in this day of trial for now Satan desires to winnow you within and to sift you without therfore all watch and pray that your faith fail not which now will be tryed and your hope your love and your zeal to the Lord and his truth and whether you will confesse him before men his way worship and Laws and Statutes which he hath revealed in your hearts which fallen men opposes and contradicts and sayers gainsay and would not have him to rule nor his servants to obey so let it be manifest to all you fear God rather then men and love him and obey him above the precepts of men which are against him and whether you love the things that are above beyond the things that are earthly and whether you will own him his cross reproach and suffering or deny it and have the liberty of the world which is bondage and free from righteousnesse It 's no time of reserves concealing hovering or halting for there is an utter discord betwixt Christ and Belial and so much the more of Christ his power and kingdom is brought forth so much the more is the hatred envy and wrath of the Devil kindled who hath deceived the Nations and blinded their eyes and in his subjects who oppose the Lamb of God and tread underfoot the blood of the Covenant so that to one or other each one belongs and which is for each part will be seen for there can be no concord or reconciliation therefore all children of the day put on the armour of light and have your feet shod now when we walk through thorny places and be not fearful or doubtful but of believing hearts stand not aloofe off and idle when others are engaged in this spiritual War pull not your necks out of the yoke when others draw shelter not your selves when you see others in jeopardy love not the world when you see others have thrown it off be not intangled in cumbersom things when you see others throw off all weights turn not your backs in the day of the Lords controversie but follow the Lamb this is the day of tribulation we have to follow him in our age like as all the Martyrs and Prophets had in their age whose garments were made white in the blood of the Lamb so all that continue and are not faint hearted shall receive the Crown the honour the reward and shall reign with Christ who now suffers with him therefore all dear children of God and followers of Christ Jesus let the loyns of your minds be girded up be now ready when the Lord calls who is on my side who will take part with me who will own my reproach who will engage with me who will gather to my standard of salvation lifted up and to my ensign of righteousnesse held forth in the world to redeem it and who is ready and not abroad in the field neither hath to go to the house top but that all may say in their hearts here am I ready to do thy will ready to obey thee and follow thee and to suffer for thee for whoso draws back the Lord hath no pleasure in such he that will save his life shall lose it and he that will save his liberty will lose it in the Spirit and he that will save his earthly possessions and for the doing thereof will deny that which God hath perswaded him of that he ought to be faithful in he will lose his inheritance in the heavenly In a word who so fails in holding forth that testimony that they know God requires and is their duty to render unto him will lose the testimony of his Spirit they have sometimes felt in themselves and will decay and their love will wear out Therefore whosoever are resigned and given up unto the Lord will be approved and manifest to be on the Lords part by obedience unto these things mentioned Friends do you not believe it a duty that every Christian ought to be exercised in to meet together to wait upon him to vvorship him and to admonish exhort and strengthen one another to pray together in the holy Ghost and one for another and to edifie and comfort one another and do you not believe God dvvells not in Temples made vvith hands neither hath any fellovvship vvith Idols but is vvorshipped any vvhere and in every place vvhere the Saints meet in his Name again have you not been comforted edified and strengthened in meeting and have you not found the presence of the Lord and his face and have you not felt his great povver working in your hearts vvhen you vvere assembled together in his Name working in
