come to hurt or loss as to thy immortal Soul the Salvation thereof certainly is our greatest Interest and ought to be preferred before and far beyond all outward Interests or Advantages in this present World whatsoever So we all ought to seek that most and first which is of greatest Weight the setting up and Establishment of the Kingdom of God O to know that it 's come with Power and to be kept in Subjection to the Power of it that 's more then all Friends being in this none is lifted up above his Measure nor puffed up in high Conceits of themselves that they are what in Deed and in Truth they are not for as every one knows the Kingom of God come in Power and the Mind being purely subjected to the Rule and Government of the Spirit and Power of God come and set up within us so the Loftiness of Man comes to be laid low and every high Thought and vain Imagination brought down into Subjection then not Flesh but the Spirit and Power of the living God hath the Dominion Thus when the other Lords that formerly had Dominion over us and that dark Power whereby they ruled in us comes to be subdued the Lord alone is exalted in that Day O dear Friends this is an acceptable Day this is a Day of Salvation and pure Rejoycing hereby you know your Marriage-Union with the Lord God and being joyned to him in a perpetual Covenant that cannot be broken but stunds sure firm in all Points as you who are saithful do witness it and it is you only that can say experimentally David wants not a Man to sit upon his Throne for your Eyes have seen the King in h●● Beauty even the Lord of Hosts the Righteous branch God promised to raise up unto David that should rule and prosper and execute Judgement and Justice in the Earth and the Eccho and Cry of your washed and purified Hearts is Glory Glory to him which was is and is to come because he hath taken to him his great Power and reigns in Power Glory and Majesty in you whilest the World and Professors thereof please themselves with a Talk of his Coming without them putting afar off his Appearance and Coming in his Kingdom in them they will not have him to rule in them but will suffer the Devil and Sin to rule and reign rather then Christ Jesus whose Right it is to rule and reign in every Man and VVoman's Heart and such are kept afar off from God and not made nigh unto him and they are far from the Kingdom of his Dear Son Christ Jesus But dear Friends who are begotten to God and have been kept faithful to the word of God's Power in its Appearance nigh in your Hearts and Mouthes and have in unfeigned Love and out of a pure Heart obeyed and done it you are made nigh to God through the Death of his Son Christ Jesus you have suffered and known a Dying with him you have born in your Bodies the Dying of the Lord Jesus therefore you must reign with him and sit upon the Throne of Glory and Majesty on high with him O you faithful Followers of the Lamb in the Regeneration you Conquerers and Overcomers of the Power of the Devil and the Sin that did beset you in times past you already feel a Reward in your Bosoms for your resisting of Sin to the Death of it and for your resisting of the Devil in the Spirit and Power of God so that you have known him put to flight from time to time when he hath come to tempt you to Sin and Evil you that have not entered into temptation but have kept pure clean and undefiled the Reward you have received already and are receiving your hundred-fold here in this VVorld is but little to what God hath in Store for you and promised to give unto you in the VVorld to come you Overcomers and Conquerers through God's Everlasting Power you shall all sit with Christ on his Throne of Glory and Majesty on high as he overcame and sate down with God the Father on his Throne here is Preferment and Honour that comes from above for you have humbled and abased your selves and have been abased by Men but God will raise you up and is setting the poor on high O what greater Dignity can you have then come to sit with Christ on his Throne when others content themselves with a Talk of Christ with a formal Profession of him without Life and Power or leaving any thing for Christ you have seen it your Duty incumbent upon you to leave and forsake all Sin and Evil for Christ's Sake and to dye to your own Wills and Righteousness for Christ's Sake that you might be made conformable to him and be dead and buried in Baptism with him and so through the Death of the first Earthly Adam you have obtained Life in the second Adam and so serve obey and live unto God by a daily dying to Sin and its Law that warred in your Members against the Law of your Minds whereby in times past you were led captive and could not do the things you would but now Glory to the Lord God forever you Conquerers by Christ Jesus Victory is given unto you over Sin with its Law and Death comes to be swallowed up of Life so by a faithful Continuance in the Lamb's VVar against Sin the certain Knowledge of a real Victory over Sin Hell Death and the Grave comes to be witnessed And you are of the Host of Heaven listed in the Heavenly Army under the Banner of Love and Standard of Righteousness which is lifted up to which many yet shall be gathered and Nations shall flock unto So you whose Names are written in Heaven under the blessed Conduct of Christ Jesus the Captain of our Salvation O follow him fully follow him whithersoever he goes if he cause thee to go through the Vail of Tears or Death pass on thy Journey with him be not weary of the Journey which the Lord of Life leads thee in and he will remove every high Mountain in thy Way that stands before thee and make it a plain and bring thee to the End of thy Journey and if thou meet with Frowns or Hatred from Professors or prophane men of this World thy Neighbours Acquaintance or Kindred in the Flesh it is but that which Christ Jesus the Captain of our Salvation met with when he came in that Body prepared for him to do the most great and Noblest Act of Love that could be done to Mankind in laying down his Life as a Ransom for all How was he frowned upon and hated of the World And he said his faithful Followers should be hated of all Nations for his Name Sake How was he hated in his taking Elesh upon him and in that Appearance by the chief Priests and zealous professing Jews who were zealous for the Law and Letter so much that they thought to have Eternal Life in

the Scriptures they instead of owning and coming to Christ did more then the prophane frown upon him hate him and set themselves against him and without any Cause refused to come unto him despising and rejecting him of whom they might have had Life and Salvation and when thou meets with any Sufferings for the Name and Testimony of Christ wait low in God's pure Fear seriously consider Christ Jesus suffered inwardly outwardly for thee he was a man of Sorrows acquainted with Griefs for thee that knew no Sin that thou might'st be made the Righteousness of God in him Is that known as the good Effect of Christ's Sufferings for thee in all thy Hardships Tryals and Sufferings thou meetest with for his Testimony in this prefant World that thou art made the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus thou art awakned in his Likeness now then thou shines forth as a Son of God or as a sixed Star in the Firmament of his everlasting Power giving Light unto others Hath the Awakening Power of God thus awakned thee to Righteousness and true Holiness O then happy art thou then thou art not like the men of this World thou bearest not the earthly Image but art an Heir of the World to come and bearest the Image of the Heavenly and hast a certain Evidence of that Birth which is immortal born and art come to be a man of God now thou art made strong through the Power of his Might and hast passed the Child's State of Weakness and Infirmity and going on to Perfection and thou art come to him in whom is the Fulness of the Godhead bodily and art coming to a compleat State a perfect man in Christ Jesus here is the Mark Dear Friends which God by his Light at our first Convincement set before us to press after and to attain unto and not to come short of it God never set it before any for that End never to attain to it on this Side the Grave as the vain talkers of it do imagine and talk promising themselves Peace whilest they see not nor know not this Mark for the Prize of the high Calling of God in Christ Jesus nor how to press towards it or through believing to attain unto it for they are so far from believing attaining to Perfection or to a perfect man in Christ Jesus in whom the Fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily that you know they long have pleaded for and still plead for Sin and Imperfection and the carrying about of a Body of Sin with them whilest they live and that heavy Load and Burden of Sin with its Body renders all such unprepared and unfitted to run the Race set before them hereupon many settle on their Lees and are so settled that they seem regardless and ignorant of that which would unsettle them from their Lees of Iniquity and shake the Body of Sin they carry about with them make them put it off and cast it from them as that which hinders them from coming to the Truth to receive it in the Love thereof and therefore Professors prophane in many Places seem so much to be given over to strong Delusions to believe a Lye and the false Prophets prophesie Lyes in the Name of the Lord keeping People in Death and in the Broad Way that leads to Death and keeps them in Death from the Life of the Son of God from the Image of God and from a pure and perfect State in Christ Jesus which God hath brought you into and made you Partakers of Glory Everlasting Glory and Dominion be given unto him forever and evermore who rides on conquering and to conquer This you Children of the Day are Witnesses of this your Eyes have seen O you have handled the Word of Life you have hid it in your Hearts how sweet hath it been to you since you came to know and obey it you have valued it as a Pearl of great Price you faithful Followers of the Lamb you have so prized and valued the Word of God Christ Jesus appearing and working in you that you have been made willing by his pure Power to sell and part with all for him and to deny your selves and take up and keep in a daily Cross that you might follow him whithersoever he goes And Dear Friends who are called of God out of Egypt and Babylon to follow the Lord in his Leadings let nothing hinder your going forward in following the Lord let nothing which you may meet with in your Travail in your Heavenly Journey hinder you or weary you let no Perils dismay you of what kind soever neither let any of you saint when Trials yea great and fiery Trials happen to you look not to that which would discomfort you in your Travail whatever it be or from whomsoever it comes that which would discourage or discomfort you look over it all to the Rock Christ Jesus look unto him who saved and delivered you and was your only Helper in the time of your greatest Distress and Need that had Compassion on you and heard your Cry when you cried to him and no Eye pitied you I beseech you all dear Friends look unto him and see th●t you look not out nor go not out from the Way of Truth because of any Hardships Tryals or deep Exercile that you may meet with in the Way for then a Vail comes over the pure and the Face of the Covering spreads it self over such again and such suffer Loss in their Conditions therefore whatsoever Hordships Exercise Trials or Suffering any of you may meet with in the Way love and delight in the Way of God be not offended at the Way of Truth because of the Tribulations that do attend it and them that walk in it to the Kingdom of God but consider that through many Tribulations the Kingdom of God is entred and come into it s not entred by Ease in the Flesh and shunning all manner of Fiery Tryals and great Tribulations as the Careless and Disobedient Children would have it You have read or heard of the Patience of Job in all his Afflictions and Sufferings how Patience did possess his Soul that notwithstanding all the Evil Intreatments of his Friends and the many Assaults the Devil made at him yet Job sinned not nor charged God with Folly My Dear Friends and Brethren we have need of the same Patience in our heavenly Journey where we meet with many Jeopardies and Perils and the Devil as ready to assault tempt and winnow us as ever he was so we have need to keep in the Faith and Patience and to wait upon the Lord that he may strengthen us that he may help us for in vain is the Help of Man or Arm of Flesh that will fail all that look at it for Help but the Lord will never fail us that eye him believe and trust in him he hath been and is a Shield unto us he hath not left us when we have met with
