truly pity thee but the eye which only hath compassion on thee thou art the babe which in all thy afflictions lives by faith and though thou hast not deliverance in thy view yet through thy faith thou art stayed in him that loves thee and in his strength thou standest in the time of thy adversity and he in all things worketh for thee because thou art nothing in thy self and whereever thou art his power defends thee and in thy poverty his pleasure and delight is in thee for his covenant stands sure with thee for ever Oh thou glorious birth of immortality thou art well-beloved and highly favoured of God yea in the womb he loves thee and favours thee and from the day of his deliverance and the hour of thy birth he delights to honour thee for out of all earthly families he hath chosen thee and from all false births he separates thee and the Gentiles glory he will give unto thee and the high places of the earth he will make thy foot-stool the glory of thy rising vanish●th the night the appearance of thy beauty makes a perfect day all clouds scatter before thee and all earthly fogs and mists clears up at thy presence the lights of heaven withdraws at thy rising for the lustre of thy brightnesse excells all borrowed lights and thou swallowest them up into thy glorious body and with the splendour of thy own breakings forth thou covers them as if they were not there is no mixture in thee no dross nor tin cleavs unto thee for the furnace hath separated all earthly matter from thee that thy life may shine forth in perfect purity and thou alone may rule the day which belongs unto thee Oh thou art the precious Jewel in which is unity none can be bound up but in thee none can inherit the Kingdome besides thee for the Father hath prepared it only for thee there thou must dwell alone not be numbred with transgressours any more thy glory goes over the earth and thy renown ascends above the Heavens and both earth and Heaven must give up unto thee for thou art the Son and all must worship thee all below thee is earthly all above thee is airy but in thy life is perfect temperance and everlasting substance and there is nothing endures or remains besides thee all the Virgins are in love with thee the sweet savour of thy ointment draws them after thee and they cannot deny thee nor forsake thee but where ever thou goest they are constrained to follow thee and in thy love they rejoice in union with thee and sings thy praise in the heavenly harmony Oh Sion put on thy strength and cast thy mourning garments from thee for the most high Remembers thee in everlasting mercy he hath seen the time of thy widowhood and the dayes of thy long captivity he hath beheld thy solitary places and the years of thy great adversity and now he is drawing nigh to work deliverance for thee and to gather thee out of all places where thou hast been scattered and from amongst all strangers by whom thou hast been oppressed and to advance thy holy hill over all the earthly glory that he alone may dwell in thee and delight himself in thy lovely beauty therefore let thy mourning be turned into joy and thy sorrow into songs of praises for thy deliverer is come and he smiles upon thee with a lovely countenance and the praise of the whole earth shalt thou be saith the Lord who doth all these things Let the tongue of the dumb be unloosed and read the joyful tydings within where the Lord is redeeming his chosen and raising up his Seed which obtains evelasting blessings A few words of Counsel unto Friends concerning Marriage THe Honourable Marriage is in the Seed of God Male and Female in the seed are one and lies down together in the bed undefiled where God blesseth them and their Seeds Seed for ever therefore let all friends eye the Lord in this his day and keep faithfull to the leadings of his power lest the sons and daughters of strangers entice any of your minds to join with them and so you goe into the defiled bed and loose the honour and be watchful that you run not forth in a hasty eager mind among your selves but waite that ye may have clearnesse in the counsel of the Lord that so ye may understand that it is of God in the beginning for if you keep not stayed in the light with the light to be guided you may either look at the world or at the party as the first thing upon which you fix your eye and so may labour to compasse the party either for the love of the worlds riches which they may possesse or to satisfie your affections with the outward beauty or comelinesse of the person and so the drawings and leadings of God will not be regarded but the worlds riches or the persons comlinesse or both will be the object of your eye and whoever begins in this ground the Lord will blast it and if any come to feel that they have a real moving in the truth and in simplicity one to another and that in the beginning they look singly at the begotten of God one in another then wait to be preserved and kept in Gods fear and counsel for here the enemy will stand to present some temptation to entice and entangle the minds and if ever you open your eye into the world and begin to look at the glory and honour of it that part will presently over ballance the real simplicity and then the eye being fixed upon the worlds riches and glory the enemy hatches a secret design which way to compasse it and attain it and then the temptation becomes a cloud and a vail over the excellent glory of the beautiful seed and if that eye which looks into the world and lusts to compasse it be not answered in its desire then the love which hath been professed will decay cool and die but and if that end can be obtained which the eye looketh after then the love will seemingly increase to a joining in the Covenant of Marriage and this is not honourable though outwardly it may be brought to passe and effected and whosoever goes together in this ground they will suffer losse in the truth though they may gain the worlds substance and death will surprize them in the earth where they center and how are many tossed about and cannot find where to settle nor where to come into a liking to satisfie their wandering eye but sometimes will draw a conclusion one way and instantly turn from it again and presently joyn with some new presentation which in its appearance seems to shew fairer unto their liking and thus many staggers up and down in the multitude of their own thoughts and never waits to feel the Lords power to order them but through the wiles of the enemy are hurried in a restlesse state and looses their
