and if you come to know Deliverance and Freedom from these things whether you will own and be of our Way and be Perfect yea or nay when you are cleansed from all filthiness of flesh and spirit And who shall deliver you but the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour And how are you in the Way of his Salvation so long as you live in these things which are quite contrary unto him And how can you expect to be freed from Wrath to come and live in Sin unto Death And therefore it is good to repent and return unto the Lord withal your hearts and not Mock God For we say Christ is come to save us from all these things and as we have believed in him and obeyed him we are come to know Salvation by him and his coming is to destroy these things which are the Works of the Devil yea and also to destroy the root of sin in the heart from whence all these things do proceed and so he comes to finish sin and to set an end to Transgression and so brings in everlasting Righteousness And if you be delivered from all Blindness then you will come to be wholly Light in the Lord and from all the aforesaid Evils then surely we shall be no farther Persecuted for there is many strive after Perfection and many have attained it Blessed be the Name of the Lord And Christ Jesus hath given himself for us that he might redeem us from all Iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar People Zealous of good Works Tit. 2.14 And if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light we have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all Sin So here is a perfect State if you would come to the Light and walk in the Light which is our Way and because men hate it and walk not in it therefore they are not cleansed Com. Pr. Letany That it may please thee to bring into the Way of Truth all such as have Erred Quaker This is that we have and do Pray for and the Lord hath beard and answered and he hath brought many from the error evil of their wayes into the Way of Truth and they walk therein Blessed be the Name of the Lord And how can people be brought into the Way of Truth but by the Spirit of the Lord which leadeth into all Truth John 16.13 Which is our Way and Leader Com. Pr. Letany That it may please thee O LORD to endue us with thy Holy Spirit to Amend our Lives Quaker And why do you not receive it and obey it then as we have done For his Grace hath appeared and his Spirit hath appeared and convinced you of sin in your Hearts and Consciences John 16.8 As you say elsewhere Take not thy Holy Spirit form us So you confess you have it therefore obey it and bring forth the Fruits thereof while it strives and deny Ungodliness or else you have no Reason or Ground to expect his Abode with you John 14.17.23 c. Com. Pr. First Sunday in Advent Almighty God give us Grace That we may cast away the Works of Darkness and put upon us the Armour of Light now in the time of this Mortal Life Quaker And this is our Armour which we have put on which is not Carnal but Spiritual and Mighty through God to the pulling down of the strong Holds of Sin and Satan and in this we make War in Righteousness not against Flesh and Blood but against spiritual Wickedness wherein the Lord hath prospered us And have put off the Works of Darkness and walk as Children of the Light and of the Day in the time of this mortal Life and have not delayed and put off the Day of the Lord as many do and yet in words pray for his coming Com. Pr. Collect. on St. Stevens day Grant O Lord that in all our Sufferings here upon Earth for the Testimony of Truth we may steadfastly look up to Heaven and by Faith behold the Glory that shall be revealed and being filled with the Holy Ghost may learn to Love and Bless our Persecutors by the Example of thy first Martyr St. Stephen who prayed for his Murderers Quaker And who are the Persecutors And who are the Persecuted now And who shall pray this Prayer now Not they that are filled with Iniquity and Rage but they that are filled with the Holy Ghost for the Testimony whereof we Suffer Com. Pr. Collect. on Innocents day Mortifie and Kill all Vices in us and so strengthen us by thy Grace that by the Innocency of our Lives c. we may glorifie thy holy Name Quaker Oh that we might see this Innocents day every day in your lives and Conversations And where would there be Vice then when all is mortified and that in you And where would be Wrong then and Oppression then when all become Innocent Then there would be no more hurting or spoiling one of another in our Streets when all become as little Children as all must that will enter the Kingdom of God What Violence will there be then But to keep a Day in remembrance of the Innocents and just to be as little Children Harmless and Innocent but to Persecute them that are such is very unsutable For the Lord would have us all to walk according to his Royal Law written in our Hearts To do to others as we would be done unto Oh this is an even Path and a good Way to walk in And why should men choose another Way to their own hurt and ruin And consider Herods cruelty against the Innocent and beware least you be found like-minded to persecute the Innocent for the Lords Sake Com. Pr. Collect. Circumcision of Christ. Grant us the true Circomcision of the Spirit that our Hearts and all our Members being mortified from all Worldly and Carnal Lusts we may in all things obey thy blessed Will Quaker And this is our Way And where is room for any sin then And the Lord hath granted our Requests and we are come to the Circumcision that is made without hands which is in the Heart by the Power and Spirit of the Lord and through the obedience of the Spirit are come to kno● the deeds of the Flesh mortifi●● who the old man with his Affections lust crucified know the new man formed whose Nature it is to obey his Fathers Will in all things and by the Power and Spirit of the Lord are we ena●●●●●o be fruitful in every good Word and Work and it is not of our selves but by the Grace of God we are what we are whose praise is not of man but of God And he who is thus circumcised is not a Jew outward but a Jew inward in whose heart there is no Guile And this we desire and labour to bring all men unto to Truth in the inward parts which the Lord delights in and hath regard to them that love it and are not Hypocrites
