Whirlewind of his Wrath they shall be scattered and then shall the gathering of the People be unto him from the East West North and South and from the four Winds of Heaven and shall sit down with Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom and the Children of the Kingdom that have lived in disobedience be cast out for those that have been first may be last and the last first Oh therefore while you have an hour to work in his Vineyard be diligent in his Work for cursed is every one that doth the Work of the Lord negligently Oh therefore while the last hour lasteth be diligent that you may be cloathed with the Wedding Garment of Righteousness and behold the Lord and live for the long suffering day of the Lord is almost at an end with many and the day of his Judgments near to be poured out upon the Rebellious then the Rebellious in Israel may say Oh that we had given up our all and trusted the Lord in difficulty that we might have seen his great sufficiency and his holy Arm made bare for our Deliverance then will many be ready to cry out like old Israel We will go up to the Land which the Lord promised us Oh! then it will be too late for what was the answer of Moses to them Go not up for you would not go up in the Lords time and therefore he is departed from you and now if you go up your Enemies shall prevail over you Oh! therefore you that have been called by the Name of Israel do not reason away your strength as Sampson and they did and give it into the hands of strangers and then let your Oppressors rule over you but be tender of the Glory of God and have true charity over the seed of God in your own Bosoms and then you shall be far from Oppression for the Lord hath long waited to be gracious and his tender Compassion sails not to his People nor there is no occasion to be offended in the Truth whatever hath happened amongst some that have profest it Blessed be the Name of the Lord Truth is clear in it self and without variableness or shadow of turning and more desirable to the Faithful than ever it was for the more we wait upon God the more our strength is renewed in him and as we grow up in the Faith and wait for the blessed Appearance of our Lord Jesus when he doth appear we can see him as he is and appear with him in Glory and grow up from strength to strength and from one degree of Grace to another till we come to the fullness of the Statute that is to be attained in him and he is glorifying his People more more and cloathing of them with his own Righteousness so that the Upright in heart can say O Lord thou art our Righteousness and by thy Name do we acknowledge thee and because thou hast washt us therefore have we a part in thee and thou in us and worthy worthy is our God to be waited upon and to be had in everlasting Remembrance of all his Saints that are about him and to be reverenced and worshipped in the beauty of Holiness in the Assemblies of his People for his Glory is far above over all the glory of Egypt to those that see him as he is in his invisible Appearance And so the desire of my Soul is that all the Lord's People may be gathered into the Covenant of Life and Light and grow up in the Life and Power of Holiness which is beyond all Declarations of Words and shall remain when Words may cease and Declarations may have an end but the Word of the Lord endures forever So I remain your Loving Friend Prisoner to Bridewell for Truths Testimony Dorcas Dole The 30th Day of the 3d Moneth 1683. O Lord by a high Hand and a stretched out Arm didst thou bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt and made a High-way for thy ransom'd ones to pass over through the great Deep swallowed up their Enemies quick that persued after them so that they sung thy Praise upon the Banks of Deliverance but O Lord how soon did they forget thy great Name and glorious Deliverance when they met with other Difficulties for the tryal of their Faith as if thy Arm was shortned that it could not save them or thy Ear heavy that thou couldst not hear them O! help thy People in this day that we may take warning by their Fall and follow thee fully through all Difficulties that thou mayest honour thy great Name in us in making known thy great Sufficiency in the sight of the Heathen O Lord let us not look back again into Egypt for Graves to bury thy holy Seed in bondage but raise us up more and more in the Resurrection of thy Life and Power that the second Death may have no Power over us O! thou that never slumberest nor sleepest who wast Israel's Keeper and Jacob's Preserver in Straits and great Difficulties watch over thy People for good and help us to Watch and Pray continually unto thee in the motion of thy eternal Spirit for of our selves we can do nothing but when thou dost enlarge our Hearts in and through our Lord Jesus Christ we are able to perform an acceptable Sacrifice unto thee for it is the Breath of Life which thou dost breathe upon our Souls which makes us in the living sense of thy quickning Power to return unto thee that which is thy due all Honour Praises true Thanks-giving for unto thee it doth belong and to the Lamb that sits upon the Throne from me and all that know thee O! therefore fill our Hearts and Souls with thy living Presence that our Souls may still live to Praise thee for thou art worthy to have all Praise Honour and Renown from the rising of the Sun to the setting of the same Amen D.
