Truth 's sake yet his Loving-kindness he will never with-hold from those that truly trust in him And this dear Friends the Lord hath made us living Witnesses of whereby a Remnant can say through a good and comfortable Experience of the Lords Mercy and Goodness unto our Souls and Hearts even as in dayes past In all our Afflictions he is Afflicted And the Angel of his Presence saveth us And therefore have we cause to love the Lord who hath heard our Cryes for by his Arm he hath gathered us and by his Power he hath and doth preserve us and in his holy Light which is the Way of Life and Salvation the Lord is leading and guiding of us unto his holy Hill and everlasting Rest which is the Lot and Portion that the Righteous in all all Ages desired and sought after whom God visited with the Day of his Mercy in which their Souls rejoyced as Christ said of Abraham He saw my Day and was Glad And how greatly did Zacharias Elizabeth and Mary rejoyce and praise God when he visited them and Simeon and Hannah with many more when the Lord visited them with the Day spring from on high they rejoyced in it and spoke of it unto all that looked for Salvation which Day was Christ coming and appearing unto them for in him and by him are all things received that the Honest and Upright-hearted that fear God can desire for he is the Seed of the Promise that bruises the Serpents Head and overcomes Death and brings Life and Immortality to Light in the Soul that waits for it for on him the Help is laid who saves to the uttermost all that believe and obey him for in him all Fulness dwells And now all Tender-hearted Friends whom the Lord hath visited your Souls as he did his Servants and Hand-maids in days past with the Day-pring from on High this is the word of Exhortation that lives upon my Heart unto you Oh! wait upon the Lord to see the Work of God by Jesus Christ wrought and made known in all your Hearts that what is not of him you may see overcome by him and brought down by his Power into the Death that so you may all that are convinced by the Truth witness a dying unto Sin and come to live unto Righteousness through him and having put off as concerning your former Conversations the old Man with his Deeds and having parted with your own Righteousness which is the Pharisees Clothing and put on the Righteousness of Christ Jesus which is the Saints Clothing you are thereby prepared to shew forth the Praise of God whilst you are here and also shall thereby be prepared to enter into his Glory where your Souls shall rest with the Lord and pertake of that Feast that he hath prepared for all that deny themselves and follow Christ and forsake their own Wills and obey the Will of God for you are they that have the Wedding-Garments and having Oyl in your Lamps by which your Light shines before men whereby God is glorified for his Light doth not only shine in your Hearts whereby it becomes your Guide but it also shines through you unto others that are yet in Darkness whereby Christs words come to be fulfilled who said to them that believed in him Ye are the Light of the World and the Salt of the Earth for all that receive his Light and Grace into their Hearts they are to Season the Earth by their Savoury Lives and Upright Conversations by which we do reach to the good in all and judge them that live in the Evil Conversation whereby they shall be made in the Day of Visitation to confess That the Lord is with us of a Truth who hath called us to bear witness thereunto and to confess his Name before men although for it we do suffer as the Servants of God did in days past who have said That it is not given to us only to believe but also to suffer And the Apostle saith Yea and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus must suffer Persecution which we see is now fulfilled in a Remnant who love the Lord withal their Hearts for there is many that profess Christ Jesus that suffer nothing for him but those that leave the Glory of the World and the Sin-pleasing Pleasures of the Flesh and follow Christ they must and do suffer under them that live in it and them that leave the Teachings of Corrupt and Carnal men and wait to be taught of God they must suffer and they that bear a faithful Testimony against Idolatry and the Superstitious Wayes and Inventions that the Priests and People have invented in their dark Imaginations who make void the Command of Christ through their Traditions as their fore-Fathers the Pharisees did the Law of God so do they now the Worship of God in Spirit and in Truth and they that Worship God therein they must and do suffer by this Generation as the People of God did under the Scribes Pharisees and Persecutors in dayes past who persecuted Christ and called him A Deceiver and A Blasphemer and who persecuted the Apostles calling them Vain Babblers and such as turned the World Vpside down and drew People from their Temples and were not subject to their Law Which is the Cry of the Priests now against those whom God hath brought forth in a Testimony against them as the Upholders of Diana's Temple did with all their Crafts-men who were in a Rage against the Apostles and cryed one unto another Sirs You know that by this Craft we have our Living and if we let these men alone all men will follow them and then our Craft will come to nothing much like the way of the Proud Covetous and Envious Priests Now concerning the Servants and Messengers of the Lord unto whom God hath made known his Light and his Truth which was before they were and shall be when they shall be no more for God is arisen and is going on in his mighty Power and by the strength of his own Arm he will overturn all that stand in the Way of his Truth and that oppress his Seed and offend his little Ones that believe in his Name for whose sake the Lord is arisen to plead the Cause of his afflicted Ones for by strength shall no man prevail For because of Oppression of the Poor and the Sighing of the Needy the Lord will arise for Deliverance and bring down the lofty City Babylon and lay her Honour in the Dust and her Merchants shall mourn and her Lovers shall lament and bewail her for the Misery that shall come upon her in the Day of the Lord determined Which Day is dawned in the Light of which a Remnant see the Vision is near to be fulfilled that was seen of Babylon's Torments and her Merchants Misery that shall come upon her and them that Trade with her in which Day the Righteous shall rejoyce in the Lord who hath saved and redeemed them out of
