Pure ENCOURAGEMENTS FROM THE Spirit of the Lord As a joyfull SALUTATION WITH FULL Assurance of Victory Unto the NOBLE ARMY Of the LAMB Against whom the Gates of Hell and Death shall never prevail Through a Vessel prepared to do his Will whithersoever he leadeth it MY dear Friends Brethren and Sisters who are the called and chosen of God out of the world out of the nature spirit vanities and wayes of it to follow the Lamb in the Regeneration through the daily cross the streight gait and narrow way which leads to life ye whose hearts breath and pant for the full enjoyment of the glorious liberty which was with the Father before the world b gan and are travelling with your faces towards the holy Hill of Sion and cannot be satisfied with all the Treasures and glory of this present evil world nor in any thing or creature but only in the pure eternal refreshing presence of your God in which are Rivers of pleasure and joy for evermore You who have cried to the Lord in the Land of Egypt to go forth to sacrifice unto him in the wilderness sensibly feeling that while the precious Seed of his Covenant lay in death and the grave it could not praise him who hath perfectly known that except the dead rise all hearing faith and preaching to you was in vain who were still in your sins and weighed down with corruptions and overcome with divers temptations in that state But now hath the Lord your God heard your cries and your groanings and revealed his Arm of salvation and brought you forth to the Light and hath said to the prisoner of hope shew thy self and hath raised the Begger from the dunghil and answered the tender cries of his innocent Babe which could not live nor be satisfied without the sincere milk of the eternal Word of life and ye have grown up from strength to strength and have great experience of the loving kindness of your God and of his many deliverances in the times of need and of his wonders upon the Land of Egypt which you have known to be as a cloud by day and as a Pillar of Fire by night and hath led you in a way you knew not and in paths which you had not gone and hath made himself known amongst you by his Name Jehovah in which is everlasting strength And now O ye children of the true Israel of the God of Jacob Is it your lot again to be driven by Pharaoh and his huge Host to the Borders of the Red Sea are the Mountains on each side and the Egyptians behind you pursuing with Horsmen and Chariots to destroy you from being a people and to root out the remembrance of your Name and the Name of your God from under Heaven Why this I proclame unto you all in the Name of my God and your God Stand still stand still and you shall see his mighty salvation for with a mighty hand and out-stretched arm will he deliver his chosen Wherefore take no thought for your life but freely give up all into his hand and cast all your care upon him for not one hair of your head shall perish beyond the permission of your heavenly Father for ye are of more value unto him than many Birds of the Air which cannot light on the earth without his Providence and be not afraid of any amazement O ye dear travelling children the Lord of Hosts is your helper who is in the midst of you and his servant David a Prince among you Therefore fear not the Armies of the Aliens G●g nor Mugog with Gomor and his bands the eternal God shall break and dash them in pieces like a Potters Vessel he shall make them hear a noyse in the midst of their Camp and their hearts shall tremble the wind of a shaken leaf shall chase them for the Lord is on our side and he will plead the Cause of his Seed with all flesh only obey you his voyce and he will soon subdue your enemies and your peace shall be as a River and your rest shall be glorious Oh sink down sink down out of all thoughts contrivings or premeditations and feel it feel it ye crying travelling children who have no helper in the earth but the Lord your God alone in whom is your everlasting strength O ye Babes of uprightness ye Sons and Daughters of Sion comparable to fine gold My soul is poured forth like water before my God for you that ye might be preserved and give up all to him as freely as he doth require it in this day of tryal and hour of temptation that not an Ox or Sheep may be left behind to hinder you from enjoying the Kingdome with any pretence whatsoever remembring that obedience is more than Sacrifice for the Lord loveth a cheerful giver whose love you will feel to be stronger than death which the many waters cannot quench neither can the stoods drown it Have not many of you this experience as ye have faithfully followed the Lamb through your greatest Tribulations and have ye not felt a washing your Robes white in his precious blood the Life and have ye not learned a new Song which he hath put in your mouths after manifold Deliverances and Victories which he hath wrought for you even in the sight of the Heathen Wherefore I say unto you Lift up lift up your Heads ye Valiants of Israel the Lord of Hosts is with us whose Arm is not shortned the Lamb is upon Mount Sion with his hundred forty and four thousands gathering his numberless number from the four winds Cast off all mortal thoughts and the cares of this world let not the Earth weigh you down stand stand upon the Watch-Tower put on the whole Armour of God give no place to the Devil quench all the fiery darts of the wicked within then will ye not fear what man or the sons of men can do unto you The God of Jacob is your Refuge who will break the bow of the ungodly and snap their Spears asunder and burn their Chariots in the fire and make desolations in the earth he is fulfilling his promises of old made to his Chosen who will give Nations for them and and people for their life I say ye Worthies of the Lord stand faithful and be valiant for the truth upon the earth for it s against it they are fighting within and without that it might fall in the Streets and be extinguished from the earth and that equity and righteousness may not enter the Nations who have said in their hearts Come let us kill the Heir and the Inheritance will be ours But in vain do the Heathen rage and the people imagine such foolish things for their hope shall perish and their purposes be made void they shall never bring to pass the thoughts of their hearts the Lord hath spoken it
