And ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free John 8 32.

will gather from off your Barren Mountains dry Hills of your Empty Dark Rusty Cankered eaten Prosessions to rest with the Lord in the Mountain of his Holiness forever and for this End is our Travail in Soul and Body that people might be gathered to God And the Cry of my Spirit is unto the Lord Oh! that his Day might more and more dawn that People might see their Way out of Darkness and the Chains thereof through the Power of God might be broken and the Liberty of the Sons of God which is in Righteousness might be known unto the Sons and Daughters of Men after this Deluge of Darkness and Night of Apostacy which hath been over the World For God Almighty is a fulfilling his Promises and his Day is come unto many and the Night is far spent unto Thousands Glory to God forever though Multitudes yet sit in Darkness and see it not for the God of the World hath blinded their Eyes through the Enmity of the Seed of the Serpent which bears rule in their Hearts whereby they despise the Appearance of God and persecute his Servants who are sent unto them as it was said unto the Jews I will send them Prophets and Apostles and some of them they shall slay and persecute that all the Blood from Righteous Abel unto this day be required at their Hands J. T. Something further as a Testimony against the Cruelty of the New-England Professors ANd now you New-England Priests Professors you are found in the Steps of that old persecuting spirit beyond the rest of the Nations in t●is Age of the World in Cruelty and Bloodshed for you have slain the Prophets of the Lord and drunk the Blood of the Martyrs of Jesus whereby the Iniquity of your Fore fathers you have fulfill'd in a large Measure which will not depart from you Reins nor be blotted out in Generations to come no more then the Blood thirsty Chief Priests Scribes and Pharisees and Hard-hearted Jews are but with them you will be recorded and bound under the Chain and Seal of Darkness and numbred with the seed of Cain who Murdered his Brother because his Brother's Works were Righteous and his Evil. But notwithstanding the great Sufferings and cruel hard-hearted Dealings we have received from you Rulers Priests and People of New-England whose Prisons S●ocks Whips and Gallows have been our Portion from you and for no other Cause but our Testimony for God who have been moved of the Lord to come amongst you and in true Love to your Souls But Christ Jesus who is our Lord and Master received such Entertainment amongst the great Professors in the dayes of his Flesh and we know the Servant is not greater then his Lord and these Sufferings seem small in Comparison of the Eternal Weight of Glory which is already revealed and daily God is manifesting to his People wherein we have great Cause to Rejoyce and we seeing the Prosperity of that blessed Work he hath made us instrumental in to his Glory and to the Comfort of many weary and hungry Souls are daily encouraged in this blessed Work and to sound an Alarm against your Babylonish Building and Habitation of Cruelty which God eternal hath determined to Overthrow notwithstanding you are stout against him but the Lord will be too hard for you and your Building must fall who would limit the Holy One of Israel as that Generation of Evil-doers did of old who called Evil Good and Good Evil as you do who say You think God's Judgments are upon you because you suffer that Erroneous People called Quakers to live amongst you so desperately are your foolish Hearts darkned that Judgment is turned backward and Equity cannot enter But behold Cruelty and Oppression covers your Dwelling-place and you grope like Blind Men in the dark although God's Day is come and the Children of it see your Nakedness and whereby your Notion of Profession is vanishing and shall molter away like a Fogg when the Sun ariseth in her Strength and the Mountain of the House of the Lord shall be established on the tops of the Mountains for Sion shall be built and Jerusaiem spiritual shall be inhabited in Defiance of her Foes for God Almighty hath thundred from his Dwelling place and your Old Heavens must depart as a Scrole for notwithstanding your Profession of Gospel Ordinances Death reigns over you and to Moses you are not yet come But the Desire of my Soul is That the Lord may open the Eyes and Hearts of them amongst you who have any Tenderness of Spirit in them and who have not sinned out the Day of their Visitation that they would truly turn to the Lord who smites and then he would truly heal them who hath done Great Things for us who have believed in his Name and waited through the Way of his Judgments his Mercies we have found and our desire is that others might injoy the same blessed be his Name who lives forever London the 28th of the 5th Moneth 1676.
