THE Word of the Lord TO HIS CHURCH AND Holy Assembly Regenerated and born again of the righteous Seed which the Lord hath blessed To whom this is sent to be carefully and distinctly read in the fear of the Lord when they are met together in the Light of the Covenant of the most High God Blessed yea for ever blessed are they whose Names are written in the Lambs Book of Life Printed in the Year 1666. The Word of the Lord to his Church c. DEar precious Brethren and Sisters in the ever honourable peaceable birth of the Seed immortal which the Lord hath blessed grace mercy and peace be multiplyed amongst you in the aboundings of the enlarged mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ in whom feel the flowings of the bowels of your brother whose life with all the relations and enjoyments of this world hath been and is freely given up to serve you Dear breathing hungry and thirsty babes of my heavenly Father Oh the deep of his compassions that opens in my heart to you Children Immortal born again in which bowels of tender love I exhort you all diligently to watch to the heavenly attendancies of the spirit of life in the Covenant of Light in the Lord our Righteousness that you may all feel his mighty power condemning sin in the flesh and quicken your spirits to live and reign through faith in his name that over the accuser of the Brethren you may stand and never more to be bowed down as some of you have been in years past through the mysterious working of the evil attendancies of your minds in which you will read me in what I write for you that fear the Lord watch to his light you have a clear discovery in the true sensibility of what is good and what is evil and hear you have learned your condemnation but some that come forth with us after a regulation of their conversations in some outward observations according to the light for want of watchfulness are drawn by the mystery of iniquity and so go from us to rest in what they have done and delights their hearts in the knowledge more then the life that gives the knowledge and thus they eat the forbidden fruit and what ever is pretended in the service of God there is self-endedness in every undertaking and under the fainedst humi●ity a self-priding spirit is found as it is written I deck thee with my jewels but thou took my jewels and played the harlot and decked thy self and these are they that run and busies themselves to be helpful in the work of the Lord whom the Lord never sent and though they may conceit themselves they do a great deal of good and say in their own hearts I am wise and rich and sees and wants nothing which in the tast of the imm●rtal birth which tast all things as it really is they are known to be blind na●ed and miserable and want all things and so is manifest that God never sent them therefore do they not profit the people at all and if they turn not to the light to wait for God to destroy the self-priding spirit in the gifted man that the birth may reign that makes self of no reputation but they abide where they are to feed of the tree of knowledge of good and evil from whence rises strife and contentions then shall they assuredly perish as the glory of the flower of the field and be consumed as the withering grass and shall be extinguished as the wandering Stars which fall down to the Earth whose luster and glory shall be seen no more f●r the Lord will dry up the tongue of the Egiptian sea and all intruding births that offer up a sacrifice before the Lord which burdens the Children of the Royal seed what is before written it shall come upon them the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it to my great joy And all you dear Lambs of the Lord God Almighty who delights to hear the living voice of the spirit of the most high God amongst his people that so you may have the bread of life broken to you for which you hunger and untill you have it your sorrows is known unto the Lord c. and to with-hold you from the enjoyment of what you hunger for great is the wrath of the enemy as before written as he leads some to their own destruction in a self-priding spirit in outward observation so doth he seek to destroy the innocent babes by his temptations and his secret and private accusations where he continually seeks to add affliction to the afflicted who live in the deep sence of their own misery notwithstanding all their obedience with life to death untill they be sealed up with the holy spirit of promise in the free mercies of God in the Covevant of Light in the Lord thereto be established in the marriage uni●n with Christ our Righteousness for ever And seeing you dear Lambs that abhors every evil way in love to the Lord who manif●steth his light which reacheth the sensitive part God in his Eternal Wisdom to hide pride from Man and that not any should boast and say stand by I am holier then thou that all may be buried in the sence of their own misery therefore hath he hid our life with Christ in God that all his Children may lie prostrate before the throne of his Grace and free mercy there to wait till he reveal the life to satisfie the soul according to the desire raised up in the light but oh dear Lambs how d●th the accuser rage and takes his advantage when you do not feel the life as sencibly satisfying your thirst as you are sensible in the Light what you thirst for oh how doth the accuser bow you down to undervalue what the Lord hath done for you and cause you to look constantly at your own weakness and at the temptations you meet with all and often accuses you that few is like unto you and that you will never be able to get over those besetments and evil attendancies of your minds and hear many lies mourning in secret bearing many heavy burdens through he●●kening to the accuser who violently assaults you and accuses you day and night before the throne of God and when any sparklings of the glory of the quickening spirit is manifest in you to raise you up to believe in the name of Christ where your life is hid Then the Accuser in great fury strikes you down and bids you take heed of presuming there is no such thing belongs to you as yet you must see such and such things overcome before you can expect such attainments of the free mercy of the Lord thus doth the enemy chain you in darkness and draws you into a self-striving spirit where many strives to enter the Kingdom and enters not for without Faith there is no entrance neither is it possible to please God therefore all Children born Immortal you can understand me in this matter
