A General EPISTLE TO FRIENDS EVERY WHERE Who have Received Believe and know the Truth of GOD as it is in JESUS Jesus answered Are there not Twelve Hours in the Day If a man walk in the Day he stumbleth not because he seeth the Light of this World. But if a man walk in the Night he stumbleth c. John 11. 9 10. Dear Friends and Brethren WHo are made partakers with us of Salvation and Life and Peace with God through Jesus Christ in perilous Times and have been made willing to take part with the Saints through believing in him and have suffered for His Names sake and in patience possessed your Souls as a People filled and furnished with power from on High to do the will of God and finish that work he hath given you to do in your day and Generation my dear love in the heavenly sence of that Salvation Life and Peace which we have received from God through Christ Jesus the Prince of Peace dearly salutes you all every where who patiently have given your backs to the Smiter and in the will of God have suffered Joyfully for well-doing and have not sainted nor been weary neither 〈◊〉 removed nor been shaken in mind when long furrows were plowed upon your backs but in Patience and Long-suffering endured and came through great tribulations for Righteousness sake the goodness of God in helping saving and delivering of us in the time of need is evermore to be minded and never to be forgotten but greatly prized by us all who have been and are preserved living Witnesses of the same to our abundant joy and comfort when things looked most black and dismal without O what Rest refreshment and consolation have a Remnant felt and experienced when others were amazed tormented and surprized with sudden fears to behold their expectations frustrated and their hopes perish your hope was in the Lord and your confidence in him that never fails them that hope in his mercy and put their trust in him And the Lord hath kept you in this Day of Tryal and Hour of Temptation as a quiet Habitation and as a Tabernacle that shall not be destroyed nor one stake thereof removed for all the shaking of the Mountains and the Earth and Heavens that have been and will be more and more to make way for that which cannot be shaken or removed but shall stand for ever and how doth all things work together for good to them that dwell in the love of God and Christ Jesus above all in this day of shaking of all false Foundations and all who have built thereupon How are the shaken in mind they have stumbled and faln and seem to have none to help them up their minds being from the only Helper Christ Jesus the tried Stone Elect and precious who is laid in Sion for a Foundation on which the Church of God is built and which the gates of Hell shall never prevail against and this Foundation of God it stands sure and all who are thereupon kept and preserved they are as Mount Sion that cannot be removed by all the shakings of the winds that arise Floods that come or the Rains that fall because they are built upon this Rock Christ Jesus which is immovable who hath been and is our Rock and Resuge to this day Glory to the Lord God for ever who hath gathered a Remnant to himself out of the World and the wickedness of it and hath brought out from the barren Mountains to the Mountain of his House even the Mountain of Holiness where his hand appears and is seen to work and bring mighty things to pass for and in the behalf of his chosen Heritage whom the Lord greatly delights in and taketh pleasure in doing good unto Now this Mountain of the Lord's House shall be established on the top of the Mountains and shall be exalted above the Hills how high and strong soever they may appear that are as Mountains lifted up or arise against the Mountain of the Lords House or is of another nature and contrary thereunto they must all be brought down and laid wast in man and woman before the Mountain of the Lord can be established in them and exalted above the Hills which Christ Jesus said must be laid low before the Lord alone be exalted And Daniel saw a little Stone cut out of the Mountain without hands that should fill the whole Earth here was no Crafts-man or cunning Artists hands at work in cutting out this little Stone cut out of the Mountain it was without hands no wit or power of man could do it but only through the Wisdom of God and his invisible power for with God all things are possible he can make a little Stone cut out of the Mountain fill the whole Earth he can make a little one become a strong Nation Now Dear Friends feel the Mountain of the Lord's House established on the the top of that which is of the House of Esau which must be as stubble and feel the House of Saul faln and the Tabernacle of David that was faln down raised up in you and that every breach thereof may be healed that the enemy hath made at any time to the weakning or the throwing of it down and when any falls into sin or commits iniquity that makes a breach upon the Tabernacle of David weakens the good in them so then the bad House of Saul grows stronger and wickedness increaseth in such to a great height O how many Mountains and Hills within and without hath the Lord our God already brought down and laid wast that he might set his King upon his Holy Hill of Sion and declare his decree that shall stand notwithstanding what man or men may decree contrary God will accomplish the thoughts of his heart and will bring to pass his Act his strange Act what he hath promised and purposeth to do in and for his undefiled Remnant he will effect it it shall come to pass not a Jot or little shall fail till all be fulfilled So dear Friends feel Christ Jesus Who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords set upon his Holy Hill of Sion who shall Reign for ever and ever and sit upon the Throne of Majesty on High I say in the Name of the Lord God witness his Reign and him to sway the Scepter of Righteousness in you till every thing that is contrary to him or that would exalt it self against his Government be brought into obedience and subjection thereunto that nothing may Rule or Reign but his blessed Life and Power in and over all for evermore and that he may be glorified in you all who is worthy of Glory Honour and Dominion feel and witness him come with power and great glory and taking to himself his great power whereby you will all know every Valley exalted and every Mountain and Hill laid low that would lift up it self to oppose or hinder the work of the Lord or would not
