they are spoken and these they seek to overcome with their subtle enticing words to draw them into singularity and self-separation that they may set them up with admiration and to carry on their own Interest they make use of those they overcome to seek all occasions with themselvs to speak evil some both by writing printing against those that God hath raised up to keep their habitation and to stand unmovable upon the foundation Christ the light to discern and judge their subtle crafty wicked proceedings and to lay them open that they be such as intrude into a Ministry and runs when God never sent them therefore they doe not profit the people at all for they go not in at the Door which is the light to be led in conformity to Christ in his suffering and Death so come they to be ignorant of the saving gathering word of eternal life because they in self-strivings climb up over the true judgement of God and in pride and fleshly wisedome pretends to enjoyments of high things in a self-boasting spirit some saying in their hearts as it is written I see and know and am rich and want nothing when they are blind and miserable and naked and wants all things and must come again to the light to buy eye-salve of Christ that they may see and rayment to cover them or else their nakednesse will for ever apppear For this birth which is generated in the Mystery of Iniquity as before written it cannot live but in singularity and self-separation setting up self sometimes in visible formes gestures and postures to be seen distinct from others as Clouds tossed to and fro to whom is reserved the blacknesse of darknesse for ever except they repent for God will make the womb of this births conception to be the grave whence again it shall return and there to be buried to its eternal consumation the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it through his servant that hath and doth labour day and night according to the ability of the grace I have received of the Lord for the restoration of all those that have been in danger of destruction through the snares and working of the enemy as before written And amongst many some hearkned to counsell and have been again restored in obedience to the light but who rejected the counsell of God through his Servants and desperately goes on in a self-serving spirit though often reproved they harden their necks destruction hath doth and will come upon them and that without remedy Oh! how did my bowels yern for the preservation of J.P. in what I could to have drawn separated him from that spirit which gave forth the paper that propagated the keeping on the Hat in prayer and reflected judgment upon those that called upon the name of the Lord with their heads uncovered but after much counselling of him in tender love to have stopt that paper from going abroad but he would not be separated from that spirit that gave it forth Then I cleared my conscience in the word of the Lord which now in my freedome in God I declare to the children of Sion what the eternal judgement was that did arise in my heart in words to this purpose John if thou propagate what thou hast written in this paper thou wilt wound more hearts and cause more trouble of spirit amongst the tender hearted people of the Lord then when the temptation entred dear J.N. who deeply suffered but the Lord restored him again by true repentance And as to my particular it is not my nature to be found striving with thee or any upon the earth but having declared the truth to thee I will return to my rest in the Lord and let every birth live the length of its day and time manifest what is born of God for that spirit that stands up in self-striving will weary it self and die and end in the earth And this will certainly come to passe upon all that doth not diligently wait in the light to judge the out-goings of their minds and to be led in true self-denial which is the footsteps where the flocks of the Companions delights to walk every one serving one another in love seeking to restore one another with the spirit of love and meeknesse forth of what any have done through the violence of temptation or weaknesse Oh! dear friends feel the yearning bowels of the Lord through me to you all in which I beseech you that what hath come to passe in this day of great tryal and hour of temptation yon may all in dear love to the Lord of life return to his light to feel his power restoring into a true understanding with him to walk in true self denial where you will feel his presence filling your hearts and binding you up in eternal unity of the Spirit and bond of peace every one forgetting all things that is behind and not anyone stand up in self striving but in the tender brotherly love informing the Judgements of one another in the light and power of the endlesse life and in it submit to the low estate of one another serving one another in love which is the washing one anothers feet and here is Christ and his Disciples in eternal unity and powerful Dominion against whom every tongue lifted up shall fall in Judgement and every weapon formed shall not prosper but come to naught for the Mountain of the Lords house shall be more and more set upon the top of the Mountains and established over all the Hills and all the faithful shall more and more in eternal unity praise and magnifie his name in the beauty of holinesse who sits upon the throne and liveth and reigneth for ever and ever And dear chosen vessells who hath known and doth abide and keep your state with God in the perfecting power manifest in your inward man which truely buryes selfe in the death and hath raised you up and sent you forth in the resurrection and power of the endlesse life which seeketh not any thing but to glorifie the Lord in all your travails and undertakings where ever the Lord calls you Oh! you blessed amongst the people what can be said of the goodnesse of the Lord that hath been and will be more and more manifest to you whose care and burdens labours and travels is known to the Lord and your reward is with him for ever Dear Brethren though great be the wrath that withstands the work of our God which wrath worketh openly and mysteriously to lay burdens upon the innocent and to adde affliction unto the afflicted In the word of the Lord that arriseth in my heart I declare they shall but weary themselves and all their hopes shall fail them and their expectations shall come to nought who wait for evil concerning you who love the Lord better then your lives and delights to wait to feel his power at all times leading and ordering in the limits and bonds of the spirit of the Lord
