Gatherer as a Seeker-out and Preserver of his wandring Sheep who were driven from Him in the cloudy and dark day And if ye would hearken aright breath to the Lord in that which desires and longs after him that he would circumcise the heart and open the right ear in you that the ear may hear his witness in you that so ye may indeed know the voice of the Shepherd and in true understanding sense and constant experience bear witness to that true Testimony which Christ spake in the dayes of his flesh My Sheep hear my Voice and follow me but a stranger they will not follow for they know not the voice of strangers Of the pure constant eternal unchangeable Nature of Gods Truth TRuth is of God and was with God and in God before any thing else had a being Truth was before Error or Deceit for it was from the Truth that the Error was and it was about Truth that the Deceit was There was somewhat which erred from Truth and brought in Deceit into the World and hath propagated Deceit in the World but Truth remains the same that it was keeping its pure eternal unchangeable nature and is not nor ever was nor ever can be defiled or tainted with any Errour or Deceit but testifieth against it reproveth it and condemneth for it draweth out of it and delivereth from its bands and captivity all those that hearken and cleave to it in the Faith which is of its nature and begetting The Father the Fountain of Truth is the same The Son his express Image whom he fills with himself and in whom he appears is the same The Spirit the Anointing who is Truth and no Lie is still the same The Principle or Seed of Truth is still the same The Doctrine and Way of Truth is still the same for it was the same Truth which was preached in shadows under the Law the substance whereof appears and is witnessed in the Gospel and it was the same before the great Apostacy in the latter dayes from it and all the times of the Apostacy and again after the Apostacy It hath the same nature still the same properties the same operations and effects and gives forth the same Testimony in the ears and hearts of all that are open to it Indeed the minds of men and the states of men may often change in relation to Truth but Truth it self changeth not but is equal fair and just to all men upon the Earth in all Ages and Generations alwayes condemning that which is unjust erroneous and deceitful and alwayes justifying what is pure holy and righteous Now is not this a Pearl nay is not this the Pearl indeed the precious Pearl of price Who would not buy it who would not sell all for it who would not dig in the Field where this Treasure is hid until he find it The Field is near thee O man which thou are to purchase and dig in and must feel torn up by the Plough of God in some measure before this Pearl or Treasure appear to thee and thou must take up and bear the Yoke and Cross of Christ until all be bowed down and crucified in thee which is contrary to its nature before it be polished in thee and thou come to behold and enjoy its riches and ever lasting fulness O happy are they that are begotten and born of it happy are they that know its voice and give up to it to be gathered and redeemed by it out of all deceits out of all errours out of all that entangles and on snares the soul in sin misery and utter perdition for destruction and misery everlasting is out of it and Life and Salvation is alone to be found in it There is a Witness in every heart which knows these things and will testifie it to their faces when the Light of God is opened in them and its tongue speaks therein to them O happy they that wait for know hear and subject to the heavenly Voice while he day of their Visitation and reclaiming lasteth wherein they may travel from Sin to Holiness from Death to Life by its help and guidance O why should Man perish ● why should Man hearken to that which hates him and seeks his destruction and stop his ear against that which loves him and warns him of his danger in the dearness of love and in tenderness of bowels towards him THE END
