THE WORD OF THE LORD To all children born again of the Immortal Seed As the salutation of the bowels of the unlimitted love of the Father flowing forth to you in the forcible power of his own life thorow your Brother and companion in tribulation and Kingdom of patience in the Lord Jesus Christ. William Dewsbury Blessed are they that overcometh through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and love their lives no more to death Printed in the Year 1665. DEar and honourable brethren and sisters oh how doth my soul bless the name of the Lord for you who stands faithful to God in your living testimony for him in the pure meek peaceable spirit of our Lord J●sus with the hazard of the losse of all outward substance dear and tender wife and children and beloved husband and tender children to be rent from their dear beloved parents and also with the hazard of your liberty and transportation out of your Native country and not at all love your lives to death to seal your testimony with your blood in the word of his patience if the Lord require it at your hands and when you have done the will of God in what is before written your love is so large to the Lord Jesus that you abhor loath and detest and trample upon every appearance of the arrogant self-priding and self-inriching boasting spirit in what you have done or suffered for the testimony of the truth of our God and in true watchfulnesse and pure attendancy to the light and councel of the Lord Jesus you are alwaies kept in a true sensability of your own nothingnesse cloathed with the garment of everlasting humility where you sit at the feet of Jesus as Mary did chusing the good part that shall never be taken away casting your garments of all self righteousnesse upon the ground that Jesus may tread upon them and the cumbred disposition of Martha that would complain of the innocent life or that would have any eye to self and rob him of his glory and for this you children of the most high is yrur daily waiting that the Lord Jesus may take you up into him and cause you to rejoyce and sing Hosanna to the highest and to blesse him that comes in the name of the Lord to cover you with his own righteousnesse and marry you to himself as his chosen and beloved bride in his own faithfulnesse and give you perfect victory in overcoming through the blood of the Lamb and the word of your faithful testimony in the pure meek holy healing spirit of the Lord our righteousnesse in whom you shall be as pillars in the Temple of our God and shall go no more forth but shall grow as trees of righteousnesse in the midst of the street of the City of our God bringing forth acceptable fruit to him in due season and your leaves shall be for the healing of the Nations where ever the Lord suffers you to be cast for the testimony of his glorious name yea the prisoners of hope will be refreshed at the sound of your coming and the mourners will rejoyce in your arising for the tongue of the learned shall be given unto you all in your measure to speak a word in due season to every condition for you and all the companions that can read and understand in the true experience your state as here written shall stand as Saviours upon Mount Sion which can never be removed because you have not any eye to self in what ever you do but it is your delight to be ord●red by the holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus and in your resignation into his pure will you shall be translated more and more into the angelical glory and by your holy conversations words and works which hath the love of God stamp● upon them you become preachers of the mind of God to the Nations and as ministring Angels shall reap in his harvest to the gathering our brethren from far and our sisters from the ends of the earth and all the Nations shall confesse that you are the children of the most high God the righteous seed whom the Lord hath blessed and the hearts of the people shall be changed in the day determined by the power of the mighty God who turns the hearts of men as a river of water and the people of the Nations in the earth shall more strive in their fervent desires for y●u suffering innocent Lambs to live amongst them then they now strive and endeavour to send you away from them the mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken it through your brother in the Lord Jesus whose life hath been of no esteem to serve you with my faithful brethren who in true self-denial through the almighty power of God indured the heat of the day that you might be gathered and established to indure the tryal which were of the Lord determined of which I was sent in years past to proclaim in your ears and in the same word which speaketh thorow me to you of which neither jot nor tittle shall fall to the ground till all be fulfilled I declare to you this day Therefore dear and honourable Brethren and Sisters from the highest growth to the lowest stature in Jesus let not any consult with flesh and blood but all in the perfect light and life of Jesus lift up your heads that your souls may be inlivened with his quickening vertue in that eternal hunger which nothing can satisfie but the Lord of glory in this day of separation between the precious and the vile between the true birth and the false birth as it was in the dayes of old when they confessed unto him and followed him beyond the Seas but when the Lord said Except ye eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you All that were the false birth that stood as the high-way ground stony and thorny ground hearers foolish Virgins that had no oyle in their lamps they said this is an hard saving and who can bear it and
