A60238	O England; thy time is come, God hath not taken thee until thou be ful; yea, the fulness of thy time is come ...	Simmonds, Martha.	1656-1665? (1665)	Wing S3793; ESTC R222389	12,200	16

in Communion with the Lord He will visit you with his fresh springs and cause the seed to grow and as it grows up to God it brings the Son down to you who is given into the world to redeem your souls from the power of sin and death and so as he purifies you with judgement so your Temples will be fitted for Christ to rule and reign in you and then comes his will to be done in the earth as it is in Heaven and as your hearts mindes and affections incline to the Lord you will see faith encrease and by patient waiting in hope you will see the Hills levelled and the mountains laid low of sin and corruption and when the Lord hath pluckt your feet out of the Snare and set you upon a plain then will you run the way of his commandments with great delight and this is the State of Virginity Oh you noble hearts it is you that are fit to entertaine Christ in his reign for in your obedience the precious springs of Life doth open in you and pure consolation you feele Songs of Joy and Triumph and the Father Son and Spirit meets in you then hath the soul Liberty from the devouring Enemy as the pure Spirit gets Victory over the evil Spirit so the Spirit of Christ comes to reign in your mortal bodies then comes the showers of Grace as the morning-due which bathes your souls in the blood of the Lamb and waters the tender Plant in you This is a wise Virgin that is ready to meet the Bridegroom in this his day I counsel you that have oyle to trim your Lamps and prepare to meet the Lamb for now it is full time for he that was to come is come and his time is short and then no more time make haste away you Virgins of the ●aie for time is short for now is the time of sealing come he that is filthie let him be filthie still and he that is holie must be received into the bodie Now blessed are you that are found ready for now we see there hath been terrible wars betwixt Michael and the Dragon to make room for the Babe not one step but thorow blood that we can get for entertainment amongst you but now I see the foundation is firmly deeply laid through sufferings and now set your Battel never so strong it will grow more firm but blessed be the peace-makers for they are fit to have the Mansion in my Fathers Kingdom Why should it seem a strange thing to you to see Christ reigne in his Saints and fit and prepare the Vessels and make our bodies fit for himself to dwell in seeing our hearts are ready to bow to his Will And is it not more for his glory though it be a greater cross to your wills to purifie these bodies and pour out the dregs thereof then to bring down that body which was crucified at Jerusalem seeing all are in his power and one Spirit rules in both by much tribulation anguish of Spirit and svfferings of the flesh hath he now fitted a bodie for himself who hath conquered death and hell so perfect is he that he can laydown his life for his enemies not opening his mouth to defend himself this Vessel is as precious to me as that which was tortured at Jerusalem seeing the Father hath prepared them both and the same Graces springs from both according to its time of working which now is finisht in sufferings Shall I not follow thee unto death O my beloved yea seeing thou art revealed in me by my Father to be the Son of Peace Now what though he was brought up with you despise him not as your fathers did but the Scriptures must be fulfilled A Prophet is not without honor but in his own Country surely if you knew the bowels of love that flows to you you would be more meek what shall we do to declare our love the Lord knows we love all men from the Magistrate to the meanest and delight to live in love and peace with all men and if any do lord it over you and judge you in their Wills they must be judged Now I beseech you is not this the manner of the reign of Christ to purifie the bodies of his Saints to make them Temples for himself and quicken them by his Spirit and he that leads the way is the Captain King or Prophet which in all ages the people loved and honoured Would you were worthy to receive the salvation of his love and peace which the shovvers of his rain hath brought his Reign is glorious Novv hearts are knit together in unity each to other and Praises springs freely up to the Father of all and here is none shut out who is real hearted Whether ever vve see your faces outvvardly yet I am sure if you love the Lord and be obedient to him vve shall meet in Spirit and that Spirit will reveal to you that Innocency must be King Therefore friends all use the World as if you used it not for the time is very short and every one shall be taken vvhere is he that is filthy shall be filthy still and he that is holy shall be holy still for no place of Repentance shall be left and many shall say Lord vve have preacht in thy Name and in thy Name vve have cast out Devils and done many vvonderful things but he shall say unto them Depart ye Workers of Iniquity I knovv you not and they shall flie into the Dens and Caves of the earth and shall call to the Mountains and Rocks to fall on them and cover them from the glory of his presence Watch Watch the time hasteth exceedingly vvhen time shall be no more for the Gate shall be shut and no place left for Repentance Martha Simmonds COnsider I beseech you hovv clearly the Scripture is fulfilled in our dayes are you not all talking of the Reign of Christ but knovvs it not And this is the cause of it My Ways saith the Lord are not yours nor my Thoughts yours for as the Heavens are higher then the earth so are my waies higher then yours none knoweth his will but those that are willing to be guided by an innocent spirit and that liveth out of their own thoughts and they onlie are the Virgins that will be found readie to reign with Christ Jesus in righteousness for they are diligent in the depth of the search of their own hearts and sees how the Lord breaketh them into tenderness and maketh them subject to his will as Christ was to his Father so are we in this evil world Now I would not have you ignorant of the mighty day of the Lord and of his glorious appearing amongst the sons of men but rather that you should consider how that it stands more for his glory to cross all mens wills then to fuifil them and what if he will be pleased to do as the Potter doth with his clay who having made one vessel as
