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

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 DEar Friends Who are gathered into the Life of GOD and Seed Immortal which was before the seed of the Adulterer and power of Darkness and Death was and are planted a Noble Vine an holy and right Seed in that grow spread forth your Roots and flourish that you may be fruitful to God and stand out of the seed of the Adulterer and keep over the Serpent's windings and turnings and subtilty and that Serpent and them in it that would draw you forth into the World its Inventions Customs and Traditions or to an Oneness with them for you cannot please nor serve two Masters you must hate the one and love the other and cleave to the one and despise the other Therefore Dear Friends all keep in the right Seed Nature and Ground and grow in that over the World and perishing things and you will all be pleasant Plants and the Issues of Life and fresh showers of the Love of God you will plentifully feel and dwel in the invisible Power of God out of all visible things out of the will of the flesh or the will of man in the pride of life for by that Death comes over and Darkness covers and gets head and mastery and so comes to rule and bear sway O let not your minds go after the World its flesh-pots or any thing you have forsaken and left behind you for Truths sake never let that come into your remembrance again so as to lust after it but press forwards in following the Lord. O look not back on the fading glory of any visible or mutable thing but minde the Lord that brought you out of the house of bondage and Aegypts darkness and hath safely led you on all along and comfortably watched over you as a Shepherd over his flock Dear Friends walk on in the sence of the Lord's Power and precious Presence with you in all your undertakings that in the living Faith you all may stand fast and quit your selves from every thing that would entangle you or draw you aside again into the Corruptibles that so in the Faith all may be given up and you made truly willing to suffer the loss of all Let nothing be kept back or thought too dear or near to be parted with that 's visible and perishing what-ever it be Husband Wife Children Gold Silver Lands or full Trading and Imployments value them not nor love them more than the Truth for if any so do they will not be found worthy of the Truth but the Truth shall be given to them that are more worthy of it and whose delight is to serve it and honour it So what-ever stands in your way or at any time would hinder you from running the Race that is set before you or what-ever besets any of you or burthens the Just in you cast it from you and lay it aside and freely part with it for they are worthy of the Truth and knows most how to prize it that have laid down all for it such come to the Everlasting-Inheritance which fades not away and by the laying down of their own Life thereby come to save it But many come to lose the Life because they were never truly willing to lay down deny and forsake that which in the evil nature and ground they have a life in and yeeld unto that which is evil and work offence against God shunning the Crosse of Christ wherein the Power of God is manifested unto all that obey him for the crucifying and slaying of that which is contrary to God which the Prince of Darkness works and would keep all people in to their loss and ruine But Dear Friends be willing to lay down all and part with that life which any have in any thing that will perish and come to an end wherein it works against the Truth and hinders its growth and prosperity or the preservation and perseverance in it O lay all down at the feet of the Lamb who prevails and shall have the Victory and stand with the pure Lamb against and keep over all Deceit and Hypocrisie in them that would pervert the way of Truth and draw you aside from your first Love and stedfastness to God and his People into bitterness and unstability of mind and spirit and would swell you up in vain conceits prejudice and evil surmising and that would labour to beget any of you into an amity with the Professions of the World who are out of the Seed and Life of God wherein the true Church-Unity stood and ever stands over them all who are of the false Church and Mother of Harlots and over all their feigned shews and hypocritical pretences of Love and Amity that will speak fair and make a fair shew but within full of rottenness death darkness evil thoughts and Murders which proceed out of their evil hearts and they cannot cease from sin but make a mock at it and plead for it that they might have it for term of life and cannot be free till they come at the Grave as though the Grave would recover them and free them from their sins which is altogether incredible and but a formed imagined thing therefore Friends keep out of the Worlds spirit principles and dark groundless perswasions keep clear out of them and tamper not with their dead principles perswasions vain traditions carnal ordinances forms which they have invented nor their Worships which profit not nor make the comers thereunto perfect but keep clear out of them all in That wherein you have acceptance with God and his pure Presence apparantly hath been manifested in for the quickning comforting and refreshing of you in all your tryals and sufferings which you have passed through and been acquainted with for the tryal of your Faith in this day of Jacobs troubles wherein the Lord hath been sifting the house of Israel and is purging away the filth of the daughter of Sion and arraying her with the Beautiful Garments and comly Ornaments wherein she shines forth in the excellent Glory and Comliness which the Lord hath put upon her And this is she that sometimes sate as forsaken and few minded to seek after her but now is become a City sought up and not forsaken and is become the Delight and Ransomed of the Lord that is returned out of Babylon and Egypt with Songs of Deliverance And undoubtedly the Lord will wound and cut off the stout-hearted for your sakes and all they that are incensed against you shall be ashamed and
