his Enemies both at home and abroad Let the Wise Godly and the Learned of the Church of Christ in England Scotland France and Ireland yea of his Church throughout the whole World consider if it be not time for the Lord of Hosts to make bare his Arm and to make a Man strong for himself and our Royal Soveraign Charles the Second King of Great Britain when that too many have made themselves strong in Parties against him to undermine and overthrow the Protestant Religion and the Government of the Church of England but what will they get but Shame and Confusion for they will be brought down and that with a Witness and that without having a Sword in my hand or Men or Money at command it will be known in this day of Gods Power whose word shall stand the word of God or the word of Man I say the word of God that will prevail and all that trust to this Party or that Opinion to Carnal Wisdom Power and Strength their Hearts will fail Therefore let all that handle the Sword or draw out the Sword to undermine and overthrow the Protestant Religion the Government of the Church of England and our Royal Soveraign Charles the Second King of Great Britain under pretence of a better Governour a better Goverment and a better Religion let them perish like Sisera and Jabin like Pharaoh Saul and proud Haman who became as Dung upon the face of the Earth but let them that love the Lord and delight to honour the King our Royal and Gracious Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain Let them be like the Sun that goes forth in his might that may give a greater and a better Light a Light that may shine so clear as may Revive Refresh Counsel Comfort and Strengthen Fellow Members Fellow Labourers Fellow Travellers and Fellow Soldiers and Fellow Citizens in the Wilderness of this World far and near The way of the Wicked it is as Darkness they know not at what they stumble but the path of the Just it is as the shining Light that shines brighter and brighter till it comes to the perfect day The Lord is my Light and Salvation whom shall I fear Not the Devil nor the workers of Evil The Lord is my Light and Salvation my strong Tower and most Royal Habitation whom shall I not make to fear Them that will not love and fear the God of Heaven and honour our Royal and Gracious Sovereign Charles the Second King of Great Britain Whom shall I not make to fear in this day of Gods Power by the power of his Spirit and the word of his Power Will it not be the Devil and all the workers of Evil all that be engaged with him and for him against the Protestant Religion the Government of the Church of England and the Person of our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain Will it not be all they that be for Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason for Wars and Confusion all that make Religion a business of Discourse to no purpose all that have a name to live and are dead all that call themselves Saints and are Devils incarnate Will it not be all Self-sekers and Men-pleasers lovers of themselves more than lovers of God their King and Countrey It is weakness and foolishness if not madness for to make a noise about Religion for this Party and that Opinion and do not labour to get power against Sin and victory over the Devil This is the way for to make Rome to shake and Spain to quake and all that are Enemies to the Government of the Church of England their Hearts to ake more than many Armies of Men. This is the way for the Kingdoms of Sin Satan and Antichrist for to grow weaker and weaker and the Kingdoms of our Lord and Saviour stronger and stronger so that the whole Earth will be filled with the Knowledge and the Glory of the Lord as the VVaters cover the Sea so that the People in most Nations will praise God yea all will learn to praise him with new Obedience because they have their Being from him and their well Being is in him This is the way for the Throne of our Royal Soveraign to be established in Righteousness so that the Workers of Iniquity the Seed of Evil Doers the Children of Disobedience who are for Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason for Wars and Confusion will be affraid and ashamed to come into his Majesties Royal Presence so that his Majesties Royal Court will be the most Renowned'st Court under the Heavens for Vnity Peace and Concord for Piety and Vertue for Wisdom Power and Strength for Honours Riches and great Glory So that we shall soon become the Wonder and the Glory of the World the Crown of Kingdoms the Desire and the Delight of Nations the Joy of the whole Earth and the City of the great King So that most People in all Nations will be in love with the Protestant Religion and all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World will be ashamed of their Religion and will be ready and willing for to serve and to honour our Royal and Gracious Soveraign Charles the Second King of Great Britain as the Chief Soveraign among the Sons of Men for Wisdom Power and Strength over them and well they may because the Lord of Hosts is with him as a Mighty Man as a Man of War to subdue his Enemies under his Feet and as a God of Peace to cause all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World to cease Therefore let not any Despise the day of small things but when and by whom the Lord of Hosts doth make bare his Arm let all Flesh be silent as it doth become them for though the Lord be slow to Anger yet is he great in Power who can with his Right Hand and Holy Arm with one Man make all his Enemies throughout the whole World to tremble The time is come that he will have Inquisition made for the Blood of his Son Holy Prophets Apostles Martyrs and for the Life of our late Royal and Gracious Soveraign All these have been put to Death by unreasonable bloody and deceitful Men. But what will they do in the day of Visitation and where will they fly for help There is no flying from the power of that Man by Sea or Land in whom the Lord of Hosts doth make bare his Arm for his Arm is very long and very strong and that his Enemies will know to their great shame and overthrow that be Enemies to the Protestant Religion and to the Government of the Church of England Who knows the Wisdom the Power and the Strength of that Man that is strong in the Lord and in the Power of his Might What can he not do What may he not do in his own Person to serve his Generation for the Peace and Prosperity of many Nations Therefore not unto Man not unto Man but let
and the prosperity of a King and many Kingdoms There be many devices in the heart of man but the Counsel of the Lord that shall stand and the thoughts of his heart in all generations what he will have brought about among all Persons in all Nations to the great shame contempt and terror of the Devil and all the workers of Evil who are for Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason for Wars and Confusion But Sir the God of Peace knows when how and by whom he pleaseth for to cause all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World to cease and among all People in all Nations a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace to that end this great Lord has enabled me to understand his Mind and to make it known in due time They that must wait Sir upon the Lord must be of good Courage and then he will strengthen their Hearts that they shall be able to act for him and to act with him in high and honourable Work It is God that has made my Feet like Hinds Feet to leap over a Wall of difficulty and danger He has girded me with Strength and has made my way plain and will make his work prosperous that he has wrought in me in this day of his power by the power of his Spirit which is a Spirit of Light and of Life of Liberty and of Ability for to enable them that do enjoy it and will be ruled by it for to attain retain maintain and proclaim that which is suitable and seasonable profitable comfortable and advantagious for all persons in all Nations that do love the peace and the prosperity of their Souls and the comfort of their Lives But Sir There is a Generation of Men that will believe no more than they can by their Sense and Reason understand and such Men be always at a stand for the good of a City and a Kingdom to bring Order out of Confusion Light out of Darkness Good out of Evil and Peace out of Trouble but to him that believes and knows he believes all things is possible to be done that is lawful commendable and most honourable under the Sun what is lovely and praise worthy among the Sons of Men for the peace and prosperity of them Is is but reasonaable for all Men to believe in the Lord of Life who is the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace but to Believe in him and to Act for him it is above Reason but not against Reason it is the work of Faith and the labour of Love that can do it Sir A Friend loveth at all times and a Brother is born for Adversity for a Nation yea for many Nations great Joy Peace and Prosperity which will be brought about in this Generation for Englands great Honour and Exaltation and for her Enemies great Shame and Condemnation Therefore cry out and shout thou Inhabitant of Sion thou Church of Christ in England Scotland France and Ireland yea throughout the whole World for great is the Holy One of Israel in the mid'st of thee for to make thee most Renowned among the Sons of Men for Wildom Power and Strength over them over all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World over all the workers of Imquity the Seed of Evil Doers and the Children of Disobedience over all that are Enenemies to the Gospel to the Protestant Religion and to the Goverment of the Church of England and that without making of War or shedding of Blood This is the Lords doings who is great in Counsel and mighty in Power to work in Man with Man and for Man when Parliaments Armies and Counsels may be at a stand Sir It is the unbelief of Men that doth hinder the God of Heaven from working in them and with them for the good of themselves and others There is nothing too hard for the God of Heaven who is the God of all Wisdom and Power for to bring about by that Man that doth Believe in him and can act his Faith for him For though Faith be Gods Gift yet Man must Act his Faith that will bring Glory to God Honour and Renown to a Kings Person and Peace and Prosperity to a Nation Sir The Lord Reigneth who made the World and doth Govern the World as one Man and can do it with one Man when and by whom he please to make bare his Arm and that his Enemies will know to their great shame and overthrow For this great Lord and King will make quick and powerful Work in this Generation for the Information Reformation and Salvation of many Nations in this day of his Power by his Word and Spirit of Power that so the Heathens may be Converted and Jews and Gentiles brought into one fold that so all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World may cease and among all People in all Nations a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace So that Sir it is in vain for the Turk to strive to be greater than the Pope or the Pope greater than he or the French King greater than them our Royal and Gracious Sovereign Charles the Second King of Great Britain is Wiser and Stronger and Greater than them all but not by the Wisdom and Power of Men not by the Sword of them but by the Wisdom and Power of God in Man with Man and for Man that so all Nations may be freed from Slavery and throughout the whole World great Joy Peace and Prosperity to the great Shame Contempt and Terror of the Devil and all the Workers of Evil Sir Shall the God of all Wisdom and Power enable me to work with him and to work for him in such High and Honourable Work Victorious Glorious and Crowning Work and shall not my Person be minded and regarded by the Wise Godly and the Learned of the Church of Christ in England Scotland France and Ireland yea throughout the whole World Am I not a Member of the Church of Christ in England and a Member of the City of London Am I not a Subject to our Royal and Gracious Sovereign Charles the Second King of Great Britain What though I am by Birth Education and Trade inferior to many and by Nature as bad as any yet he that is Mighty and most Mighty among the Sons of Men and over the Angels in Heaven who has put down many Proud and Mighty Angels and Men from their Seat and has exalted among the Sons of Men many that have been Humble and Meek this great Lord and King who doth Try and will Judge the Children of Men has magnified me among many of them but it is with those Graces that makes me amiable in his own Eyes and serviceable for his Glory Therefore not unto Man not unto Man no nor to the Angels in Heaven but let all the Glory be given to the God of Heaven for his great Wisdom Power Glory and Majesty who can do what he will and work
with whom he will among the Sons of Men to manifest his Wisdom and Power over the Devil and all the Workers of Evil. Sir Men are to be minded and regarded be they High or Low Rich or Poor for their Wisdom and their Learning for their Power and their Strength for their Honours and their Riches for their great and high Places but most of all for their rich Graces for their Faith that works by Love because it is a wonder-working Grace for the God of Heaven and a Victorious and a Glorious Grace among the Sons of Men for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of them Sir I hope that the Wise Godly and the Learned of the Church of England will not be offended that I can manifest the power of Faith for the Glory and the great Glory of the most High and the great Honour and Exaltation of Englands Royal Majesty of his Royal Person and of all his Royal Relations which will be for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of all Nitions To that end let all that can pray Pray for the long Life and prosperous Reign of our Royal Sovereign Charles the Second King of Great Britain and of all his Royal Relations that so he and they may long live to Reign for God and with God among the Sons of Men from Generation to Generation and at last for ever with Holy Angels and Men in his Kingdom of Heaven Sir It is in vain for the Ministers of the Gospel in London and about London to preach the Word of God in season and out of season if they do not mind and regard countenance and encourage that Man who hath believed their Report and to whom the Arm of the Lord is revealed What have they to mind Who should they mind more than such a Man who can set to his Seal that God and his Word is true and their Doctrine so far as they agree thereto Has not their Persons and their Ministry for a long time been slighted and undervalued by them who are Enemies to the Protestant Religion and to the Government of the Church of England that for a long time have made Religion a business of Discourse to no purpose But Sir It will be known to the great Joy and Shame of many a one that Religion is a Business of the highest Nature and the greatest Conquest and that not by the power of the Sword but by the power of Faith and the Word of God which will prevail when all the Traditions and Additions of Men will fail As a Vertuous Woman Sir is a Crown to her Husband and the Glory of the Man so a Wise Faithful Vallorous and a Couragious Man is a Crown and a Glory to all the Ministers of the Gospel in the Land yea he is a Crown and a Glory to the God of Heaven He is a Crown and a Glory to a King and a Kingdom such a Man is a wonder to himself and will prove a Terror to the Devil and to the Workers of Evil who are Engaged with him and for him against the Protestant Religion and the Goverment of the Church of England and that without having a Sword in his hand or Men or Money at command Sir This is from the power of Faith which is the power of God in Man and with Man and for Man and will make all that are Enemies to God and Man throughout the whole World to tremble Let not any therefore slight and undervalue a spark of Faith in themselves or in others but let every one labour to get it to keep it to prove and improve it because it is such a Spark that in whom it is wrought it will in due time break forth into a Flame and put the Devil and all the Workers of Evil to shame and bring a King and a Kingdom to greater Honour Renown and Fame than has yet been done by all the Parliaments Armies and Counsels that have been since England has enjoyed a King Sir It was by Faith that I did understand that our Royal Soveraign Charles the Second King of Great Britain would be the Chiefest and most Renowned Emperor in the World among the Sons of Men for Wisdom Power and Strength over them over all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World Therefore I was not affraid nor ashamed to make it known in due time for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of Mankind that so the times may be better than they have been in this Generation and many the better for them in all Nations This is the way that we shall soon Sir become the Wonder and the Glory of the World the Crown of Kingdoms the Desire and the Delight of Nations the Joy of the whole Earth and the City of the Great King for Unity Peace and Concord for Piety and Vertue for Wisdom Power and Strength for Honours Riches and great Glory Therefore let the people praise God yea let all Heathen and popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World praise him and give unto him the Glory due to his Name who can do what he will and work with whom he will among the Sons Men to manifest his wisdom and power over them that so all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World may cease and among all people in all Nations a free Trade great Joy and a lasting peace Therefore it will be Rebellion for any persons in any Nation for to make War against the Protestants or the Protestant Religion the Government of the Church of England or our Royal Soveraign his Majesty of Great Britain whom the God of peace did bring to his Throne in Peace in a wonderful manner beyond the Expectation of the Wisest and the Learned'st in the Nation And as the Lord who is the most Wise and most Strong Sir has done great things for the Preservatition and Restauration of our Royal Sovereign so he will do great things in this Generation for his great Honour and Exaltation for his great Joy and Consolation because he is a Prince for Peace and a lover of Peace and because his Subjects do enjoy the greatest Liberty and are Men of the greatest Wisdom Courage and Nobility So that Sir all People in all Nations will come to know and to understand what a great and mighty King our Royal and Gracious Soveraign Charles the Second King of Great Britain is among the Sons of Men for Wisdom Power and Strength over them who can with one of his Subjects bid Defiance to the Turk the Pope and the Devil and all the Workers of Evil to their greater Shame Contempt and Terror than an Army of Ten hundred thousand Men can because the Lord of Hosts is with him as a mighty Man as a Man of War to subdue his Enemies under his Feet and as a God of Peace to cause all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World to cease to the great Shame of all them that be for Strife and
A LETTER FROM A FRIEND TO A Loyal Subject Where ever he is in England Scotland France or Ireland that is Wise and Faithful Valorous and Couragious for the great Honour of God and our Royal Sovereign CHARLES the Second King of Great Britain By J. V. LONDON Printed by Tho. James for the Author M.DC.LXXX A LETTER from a FRIEND TO A LOYAL SUBJECT Honoured Sir ALL that do profess the Faith should Countenance and Encourage that Man that can manifest the Power of Faith for the great Honour and Exaltation of a Kings Person and the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of many Nations which will be brought about in a short time by that Man in whom the Lord of Hosts doth make bare his Arm to manifest his Wisdom and Power among the Sons of Men for the great Joy Peace and Prosperity of them for the Glory of his great Name and to have the Devil and all the Workers of Evil brought to shame that so his Gospel which is the Gospel of Reconciliation and the glad Tidings of Salvation may run and be glorified among all Nations where it is not and may flourish more and more where it is that so the Heathens may be Converted and Jews and Gentiles brought into one Fold that so all Strife Contention and Wars throughout the whole World may cease and among all People in all Nations a free Trade great Joy and a lasting Peace which will be brought about in this Generation for Englands great Honour and Exaltation and for the great Shame Contempt and Terror of all them that are for Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason for Wars and Confusion by John Varney a Friend to the Sons of Men in the work of Faith and the labour of Love for them in such high and honourable Work that will prove pleasant profitable and delightsome to many Persons in all Nations and Victorious Glorious and Crowning Work that will Crown the God of Heaven with much Glory among the Sons of Men and our Royal Sovereign Charles the Second King of Great Britain with great Honour and Power over them over all Heathen and Popish Kings Priests Princes and Emperors in the World The words of our Lord and Saviour when he was upon Earth with the Sons of Men his words were words of Life and of Power among them so are the words of that Man in all Generations that doth believe in him and can manifest the Power of Faith for him Therefore let every Soul be subject to the highest Powers for there is no Powers but of God the Powers that be are ordained of God Men and Devils have their Power from God but the Power of Faith it is the Power of God it is not the Power of any Mortal Man but it is the Power of God in Man the Power of God with Man the Power of God for Man and the Power of God above Man and above all the Powers of Hell do what they can The time is come that all they that are Enemies to the Protestant Religion and to the Government of the Church of England that have slighted and undervalued Divine Faith which is better than Strength or Weapons of War or Silver or Gold either a Person or a Nation will be ashamed when they come to consider and understand that it is by Faith I stand I stand in the Love and Favour of God I stand by the Wisdom and Power of God Therefore as by Faith I stand so by Faith I shall quit my self like a Man and make all that are Enemies to God and Man throughout the whole World to tremble as the Devil and all the Workers of Evil that are engaged with him and for him against the Protestant Religion and the Government of the Church of England which is for Unity Peace and Concord for Piety and Vertue which would have all the Sons and the Daughters of Men cease to do evil and learn to do well and in every Grace and Vertue to excell which is for the honour of the Protestant Religion and the Peace and the Prosperity of all Kingdoms Therefore all that call themselves Christians and Protestants in England Scotland France and Ireland and do not conform to so excellent a Government which is for Love and Vnion to prevent Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason Wars and Confusion they be foolish proud stubborn and rebellious Children but they that will do what they should not do must be made to do what they would not For though Men are not to be compelled to be Religious yet they are to be subdued when they Rebellious By the Laws of the Land by the Command of them that have Power in their hand they ought to be made Servants and Labourers to them that do conform that is to bear most Burdens to pay most Taxes to furnish our Royal and Gracious Sovereign with Men and Money when he doth require it and may have occasion to use it This will be the way for to bring home many that be gone a stay and to reprove rebuke and to condemn them that will not obey this will be the way for Papists to become Protestants and for Protestants and Papists to become good Christians and Loyal and Obedient Subjects This will be the way for to prevent much Evil that it may not come upon the Nations to remove much Evil that is come and to procure and secure great Honour Peace and Prosperity to our Royal King and many Kingdoms This will be the way that we shall become as fair as the Moon as clear as the Sun and as terrible as an Army with Banners so that we shall become a Wonder to our Selves a Terror to our Enemies and a Crown and a Glory to all Kings and Kingdoms This will be the way for the workers of Evil to become workers of Righteousness so that Righteousness will run down like a mighty stream and the Wickedness of the Wicked will come to an end to the great shame contempt and terror of the Devil who is the Author and Cause of all Evil among the Sons of Men. He is that Prince of the Air that is every where to make Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason Wars and Confusion among all Persons Families Cities and Kingdoms He sets Learned Men one against another to confound and destroy each other he sets the Wise against the Strong the Strong against the Weak and the Rich against the Poor to bring Desolation among all Persons and Nations He sets the Turk against the Pope and the Pope against him and the French King against them both and is it not time for me to set my self against them all for their great shame and down fall but I shall set my self most against the Devil because he hated Man from the beginning and did endeavour to destroy him as soon as he had a Being he is a Murderer he caused Cain to kill his Brother Abel he has caused all Wars and Murders that have been among
Contention Sedition and Treason for Wars and Confusion Therefore let the Righteous rejoyce and be glad for Light is sown for the Righteous and Gladness Sir for the Vpright in Heart for in the Reign of our Royal Sovereign will the Righteous flourish and in his days there will be abundance of Peace from the Wisdom and the Power of the God of Peace So that Sir The Devil the Author and the Cause of all Evil among the Sons of Men will be ashamed and confounded because he shall not do what he would do to make Strife and Contention Sedition and Treason Wars and Confusion among the Sons of Men to the Ruin of them but for all the Devils Fury Rage and Madness against the Sons and Daughters of Men the Righteous will live and die in Peace to the Terror of him Sir The Devil knows that I hate him and will set the whole World against him for he has made too many Fools of Quakers among the Sons of Men And is it not time for me to make him shake and tremble in his Den but not by the power of Men but by the power of Faith which is the power of the God of Heaven I shall not fear him nor spare him for he shall have no Rest nor Quietness among the Sons of Men as long as I have a Being among them Sir As an Ointment and Perfume doth rejoyce the Heart so doth the Sweetness of a Man's Friend by hearty Counsel It is good Counsel for all the Sons and Daughters of Men for to hate what is Evil and then they will be free from the power and Dominion of the Devil Would the Sons and the Daughters of Men be Wise Strong Rich and Honourable in the Sight of God and Holy Angels then they must not be affraid nor ashamed to be Righteous and to love Righteousness For it is Righteousness and only Righteousness Sir that will Exalt a Person be he High or Low Rich or Poor Learned or Unlearned with an Ornament of Grace and a Crown of Glory which the Devil nor the World cannot give nor take away But it is not the Righteousness of Saints or the Righteousness of Angels that will Exalt a Person but it is the Righteousness of Christ Every one by Faith must put him on for himself and upon himself as a Garment as an Ornament as a Royal Robe as a Breast-plate against the Fiery Darts of the Devil They must put him on as a Helmet of Salvation and as a Crown of Glory They that by Faith put him on must never put him off but must own and make their Boast of him more than the Men of the World can do of their Silver and Gold of their Houses and Lands of their Offices and great Places because they be not satisfying abiding nor long lasting But Sir They that be clothed with the Sun of Righteousness have that which is abiding satisfying lasting and everlasting Peace everlasting and everlasting Joy and all the Delights and Pleasures that the Mind and the Soul of Man is capable to enjoy He is the Bread of Life the Water of Life the Fountain of Life and the Souls Spring-Garden for Pleasures and Delight All the Delights and Pleasures that be among all the Sons of Men and all the Angels in Heaven are Ten thousand times more in Christ for in him is all Fulness and all Sweetness the richest Treasures and the sweetest Pleasures Happy be they that do know their Interest in him and thrice happy be they that do make an Improvement of him because Sir the Merchandize of him is better than the Merchandize of Silver and the Gain that comes from him is better than that of Fine Gold he is more precious than Rubies and all the things Men can desire is not to be compared unto him Length of days Sir is in his Right Hand and in his Left Hand Riches and Honour yea durable Riches and Honour They that do love him will inherit Substance that will for ever last and flourish but they that do not love and delight in him will enjoy only Shadows that will soon waste and perish but the Lord of Life is a Tree of Life for the Souls Pleasure and Delight and that not only for a day but for every day All the Souls fresh Springs of Joy Peace and Comfort is in him and from him Therefore Sir happy be they that do lay hold upon him and so is every one that doth retain him into the Heart of Love because he is altogether lovely and a person most worthy most worthy to be admired and desired by the Sons and Daughters of Men because he gave himself for them and not for the Angels that fell from Heaven Sir They that find him find Life they find Spiritual Life and shall have the Comforts of this Life and a well grounded hope and a full assurance of an Eternal Life They that find Spiritual Life will obtain Favour of the Lord whose loving kindness is better than life or all the delights of this World because Sir it is the Fountain and the Foundation of all true Honour and Happiness that Men and Angels are capable to enjoy yet this great Lord and King the Jews was so unwise as to slight and undervalue him They gave him a Crown of Thorns who only can give them and all the Sons of Men a Crown of Glory They slighted him who was a better King than David a Wiser King than Solomon a greater and a better Prophet than Moses a higher and a greater Priest than Aaron all Kings Priests Apostles Prophets and Martyrs Sir all Righteous and Holy Men all Wise Strong Rich and Learned Men that are that have been or ever will be in the World they have their Wisdom their Power and their Strength their Honours their Riches their great and high Places from him by his permission and during his will and pleasure To him all must give an account for their health strength and liberty and all the means of grace they have enjoyed and what improvement they have made of his Word and of his Spirit which he has continued from Generation to Generation for the Information and Reformation of all Nations Sir He is able and willing to save unto the uttermost all that come unto him Jews and Gentiles Bond and Free Male and Female be they where they will and who they will for there is no name under Heaven where by any can be saved from Condemnation from everlasting Wrath and Damnation but by him who is the Way the Truth and the Life He is near unto all that call upon him in Truth for the Prayer of the Upright is his Delight They that seek him Sir with their whole Heart Soul and Strength will find him and all good things with him and in him that which Eye hath not seen nor Ear hath not heard nor the Heart of Man is not able to conceive For the Heavens the Earth and the Sea and all the
