his words to be Spirit and life and that yee may be fully assured it is he the works which he doth in you and for you bears witness of him And by faith in him will he become an Inhabitant in you for we are all the Children of God by faith in Christ Jesus and by faith is he kept dwelling in your hearts and hereby will yee know that yee know him and have the full assurance of him because the Son of God is come to give you this understanding by virtue of his being in you and yee in him who is true God and eternal life I have now something to say to those Fearful that are without amongst the unbelievers and abominable murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and all liars who shall have their portion in the Lake who cannot endure the Lamb nor the presence of God when he steps upon the throne but flie to the Mountains and hills in which they have trusted to hide them in the day of Calamity These are of Cains generation that are better at killing then sacrificing and as the fruit of their doings they are alwayes afraid that where no fear is even of every man not knowing whom to trust as Cain was and although such hide their sin as Adam they shall not prosper But of this sort I have something to say more at large by themselves and so I pass them by at present Others there are who are yet without amongst the dogs unto whom I intend not the Childrens bread before spoken of And they are such who are alwayes learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth to make them free from their fears being laden with sin and led away with divers lusts thinking an opinion of truth will save them while they are crucifying afresh the Son of God and putting him to open shame flying to Scripture sanctuary as the Jews did who searcht the Scriptures but would not come to Christ and in a wrong zeal as the Disciples did when they would have had those consumed that followed not with them urging to Christ the example of Elias But let these know that their fears flow from the guilt of sin that defiles their Consciences which all the sacrifices that they offer day by day can never take away nor make the comers thereunto perfect because they reach not the Conscience but still there remains a conscience accusing for sin because they believe not in the Light to walk in it that the blood of Jesus might be known to sprinkle their hearts from an evil Conscience that they may witness by it perfection as pertaining to the Conscience Therefore these are not free from afrighting terrifying fears because their sins remains how confident soever they may seem to be of their eternal conditions in that they know not the truth as it is in Jesus for if they did it would make them free Unto such I say they are yet too high and wise for God and therefore must come down to know a meek poor and quiet spirit within them which is of price beyond all their talk knowledges and empty profession of Scriptures God and Christ without them while they have not learned to stand still to feel the spirit of Christ to be their strength leader within them these shall likewise perish and dye in their sins if they bring not forth fruits meet for repentance through that faith which is held in a pure Conscience But unto you whose hearts are tender and Consciences awakned unto Righteousnes● shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in his Wings for yee love his present appearance in your hearts and wait for the brightness of his coming to consume what ever is contrary to himself that he may be and none besides h●m Therefore for your comfort I have this to assure you of from my God and your God that he will come quickly and will not tarry and yee know his reward is with him because yee never enjoyed him but yee were sufficiently rewarded for waiting upon him And these clouds of sufferings whether sickness bonds or banishment are but as the evening which must be added to the morning to make up the last day in which God will perfectly raise up his seed as well as the first day O sing thou barren and thou that didst not bear for now shalt thou be fruitful in Children and they shall fing together as the sons of the morning of th●s bl●ssed ●oly day th● new song which none can learn but the redeemed out of the Earth Although now in the evening thou may be weeping by the R●vers of Babylon with thy Instrument untun'd because in a strange Land Behold the Bridegroom cometh at whose presence thy sorrow shall be turned into rejoycing and thy joy shall none take from thee But the World shall mourn and now is the day of their sorrow begun even that great and sore distress of Nations spoken of with that unexpressible wo wo wo upon the Inhabitants of the Earth which hath been often sounded through the Lords witnesses and servants that it may be known there have been Prophets in England and sounding in thy streets O London But who sha●l live when God doth this besides the seed that shall serve the Lord. Feel it already begin to arise in your hearts O all yee that fear the Lord by all the oppositions it meets withal and saying in you if this be to be vile to rejoyce at the return of the Gl●ry of Israel I will yet be more vi●e and all the lookers on like Michal shall be a●hamed when the Seed of David shall be exalted over all to the praise of the glory of the name of its God for ever Therefore thou Royal seed it is good for thee to draw near unto him that when he takes peace from the Earth both within and without that then thou may encourage they self in the Lord thy God who is over all blessed for evermore Amen This is from a sufferer with the Righteous seed and one that prayes and waits for its deliverance out of all its troubles in all where it yet groans for Redemption a salutation of unfeigned love John Crook The 4th of the 7th Month 1665.
