A SALUTATION OF TRUE LOVE TO ALL Faithful Friends Brethren and Sisters IN THE Fellowship of the Blessed Truth WITH An Addition of Tender Love to all younger convinced Friends in and about London c. ALSO A Few words of Advice to the Children of Believing and Faithful Parents LONDON Printed for Thomas Northcott in George-Yard in Lumbard-street 1690. TO THE READER Dear Friends REmembring the good Housholder that brought forth out of his Treasury Things both New and Old I am made willing to Communicate this following Salutation which was written some Time since chiefly to my Elder Faithful Brethren and Sisters But meeting with various Exercises in which Time the Enemy was not wanting to discourage me I laid it by But now feeling the Renewings of the Love of God towards you and a fresh Stream of Love and Life from the same Fountain runing in my Soul and opening my Heart towards my Younger Convinced Friends I now after this Salutation to you commit what follows to their serious Reading and Consideration who am and trust in God shall Remain in true Love your Friend and their Fellow-Traveller till I may arrive at my desired Rest which is to lay down my Head in Peace with the Lord. A. F. A SALUTATION OF TRUE LOVE TO you my Dear and Well-beloved Friends Faithful Brethren and Sisters whom my Soul feels a Uniting to in the Spirit of the Living God which hath quickned and made you a living People who once were Dead as well as others but through the Riches of the Love of God in the Revelation of his Son Christ Jesus are made alive to Praise him whose gathering Arm hath been made bare for our Salvation and Preservation from under Satan's Thraldom in which we were held by his dark Power which did bear Rule and Captivate our Minds insomuch that many were Slaves till the Lord was pleased to reach forth the Hand of his Divine Love and make known the Right Arm of his Heavenly Power to gather us who with his Shepherds Crook did reach unto us and found us out by which he hath brought many near unto himself and they are his Elect and Precious in his Sight to whom he hath and will Reveal his blessed Mind and Will and for whom he hath and will yet arise to plead with all that shall Combine against him or those whom he hath called for a Purpose of his own Glory by whom he hath and doth yet intend through the work of his Spirit to shew forth his excellent Name which is as Precious Ointment to them who through the Vertue thereof have smelt the good Savour which many shall yet greatly desire For the Lord that hath begun a Work of Reformation will yet go on to a further perfecting the same in this our Age and many have been the Visitations of the Long-suffering God who hath and will yet come in and with the Sanctified to Judge and Condemn the Unsanctified and especially those that have professed his worthy Name but have lived in that which hath dishonoured and caused it to be Evil spoken of by those who know it not but lamentable is their Case except they Repent and Turn to the Lord with their whole Hearts that have been Convinced of the Truth and in some Measure know the working of that Power which is alone sufficient to Convert and work a Change as it is yielded to through the Lively Operation thereof which works by Love in the Hearts of all that sincerely desire to be Translated from Death to Life that they may be as Living Monuments of the Mercies of God which to the Praise of his Name be it spoken many are And these are they to whom the Lord hath and is spreading his Table with many Delicates and they know the Mansion-house where their Bread is sure and their Water never fails Come Eat with me this day my well beloved and drink of the Wine of the Kingdom for it is new and newly poured forth through the Flagons of God's Love to you who are indwellers where his mercy Seat you have beheld and where you can approach before the Throne of his heavenly Grace and where his honourable Presence you do behold when the Light of his Countenance is lifted up upon you O then his Love you feel as a strong Cord which draws you to love him again and you are the espoused to Christ who can say in truth he is my Beloved and I am his you feel his blessing to light upon you as the Dew which causes you to grow and you are as the Garden of God which he delights to dress and prune and much Labour hath the Lord bestowed on you whose love is felt at this time as the small Rain descending on every Plant that his Right hand hath planted that they may grow in their Season as the Summer Fruits which are beautiful to behold Friends my Soul is greatly affected with what the Lord hath done and is doing for a People that are willing to be the Workmanship of his hands whose sincere Cry is to the Lord not only to know his Will which is the Sanctification of his People but also to know the word of his Power which is as a Hammer and as a fire to beat down and burn up all the Combustible matter and you are they that have and are coming thus to know the Travel of your Souls through an holy Subjection to the Mind and Will of God that he will and doth stand by and secretly make way for through all outward and inward Opposition but to such who may not be so nearly gathered this Exhortation springs from the Root of true Love Retire to the Lord and draw near to him who hath promised he will draw near to you and Christ said They that come unto me I will in no ways cast off Blessed be the Lord there are many witnesses therefore let all be encouraged he is faithful who hath promised many can seal to the Testimony whom he hath made partakers of the Benefit thereof and they have reapt great Advantage by coming unto him yea when they were wearied and heavy laden with divers sins then was his hand stretched out to undo the heavy Burthen and that was a sign of Love the remembrance of which bows my Soul before the great God whose Love I feel and the large extending thereof reaching to all and many shall be visited who have not yet felt God's quickning Power to raise their Souls from that Sleep of Death which Satan hath lull'd them into through harkning unto him and disobeying the Command of the great God but my Friends I know the dealing of the Lord to you who are awakened and raised from Death to Life is as a strong Obligation on your Spirits to walk in the Light of the Lord where the Morning of God's Day was known to dawn and the Sun to rise that hath shined unto the Noon day by which your hearts have been warmed and your Spirits
