to depart from the Lord then shall you never more be terrified with the fear of man whose breath is in his Nostrils is but as dust before the God of your lives so in the Light dwell and all Friends that make mention of the Lords precious Truth and that names the Name of Christ keep out of iniquity and all bow unto the appearance of Christ in your inward parts that so you may know him to take his Government in your hearts that so you may witness your change wrought and may walk in the Light and know your passage from death to life for Friends this is the one thing most needful for all people upon the face of the Earth But more especially you that have receiv'd the Lords pretious Truth that you all wait upon the Lord with a true purpose of heart for an enterance more abundantly into the Eternal Inheritance that so you may come to know that life to be raised that shall never die that by it your souls may live when this body shall be no more and all Friends I warn and charge you all in the presence of Almighty God to take heed of negligence and carelesness and of being indifferent in those things that doth concern your Everlasting peace and Salvation of your Souls and all strive to lay hold on Eternal Life and none to take up a rest below or short of the enjoyment of the peace of God which passes the understanding of all them that are out of it which the Lord God is revealing making known unto the simple hearted that more desires the knowledge of his ways then any thing this world can afford And all Friends labour to keep your minds within unto Gods pretious truth that so you may feel your bodies prepared and your hearts enlarged to run the ways of Gods Commandements and know the will that sanctifies in soul body and spirit then shall your hearts rejoyce in God your Saviour who is now saving his people and delivering them from the fears of death and the bondage of Corruption So dear Friends mind your way to pass which is Christ Jesus the Light and look not out nor wander nor gaze abroad for they that do will stumble and be taken in the Enemy's snares and none be discouraged at what hath or may befall the Lords own people in this day in which the Lord is revealing his Righteous Judgments in the Earth by the which he is rebukeing the wicked for their rebellion against the Truth the light of Christ in their Consciences and for their despiteful using and persecuting his people which the Lord hath sent in his Name and Power to forewarn them of the evil that is now come upon them but they have been like the deafe Adder which have altogether refused to hear the voice of the Charmer charme he never so wisely but the Lords love is unto his seed and bodily exercise profits little but Godliness is the only gain so that it is certainly so that when the wrath of the Lord is kindled yea but a little blessed are all they that puts their trust in him for they that put their trust in the Lord they are saved by his power so that unto us to live is Christ and to die is gain so that the Righteous and the Godly receives gain by their death but it is not so with them that forgets God and persecutes his People for their reward will be according unto their work and therefore for the wicked it shall go ill with them But I say unto you dear people of the most high God that are come unto the Righteous Principle of God in your own hearts it shall go well with you that feel that life raised that Paul blessed and praised the Lord for in his day when he said Oh Death where is thy sting O Grave where is thy victory the sting of Death is sin and the strength of sin is the Law But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ in the injoyment of the same life my soul even praises and magnifies the Lord with all the redeemed whom the Lord has saved and delivered from the fears of death and brought to know that love that is stronger then death In the which powerful love and life I dearly salute you all that in truth desires peace with the Lord unto whose power I commit you with my self Given forth in obedience unto the motion of the Lords Spirit in the universal love of God that I feel in my heart unto all that have received the Lords precious Truth through which God is reconciling Man unto himself SAMUEL CATUR The 19th of 8th Moneth 1665.
