In its dayes Judah shall be saved and Israel dwell safely and the Name by which it shall be called is The Lord our Righteousness and it shall no more be said The Lord liveth which brought the children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt but The Lord liveth which brought up and which led the Seed of the house of Israel out of the North-Country and from all Countries whither the Lord had driven them and they shall dwell in their own Land the Lord hath spoken it And the day is come wherein the Lord hath raised unto David a Righteous Branch and a King raigneth and prospereth that executes Justice and Judgement in the Earth whose Dominion is an Everlasting Dominion and his Kingdom that which shall not pass away in which Thou mayest Raign and Live for Ever Moved of the Lord God Almighty the maker of Heaven and Earth who hath seen thine Affliction and Adversity and delivered thee in much Bowels of Love am I thus to write whom the world in scorn calls Quaker but am known by the Name George Bishope Bristol the 27th of the 4th Moneth 1660.
