Candle had shined upon his Tabernacle and unto whom the Rock had poured forth Rivers of Oyl whom when he came to see how great and how powerful how excellent marvailous and wonderful the Lord was in his unsearchable wayes he ascribed all the righteousnesse to his Maker and abhorred self in dust and ashes though he knew his Redeemer lived and that he should stand upon the earth at the latter day Therefore take heed that thou never depart from him from his leadings counsels commandments wisdome and fear who hath set a Print upon thine heels and who marketh all thy steps though never so many or in the most secret hidden places whether thou steppest in Butter or upon a Rock the Lord seeth all thy goings and unto him thou must give an account for all thy wayes by whom actions are weighed Therefore O Israel Look not unto man look not unto man but alone unto him who is thy salvation and the salvation of all his people to the ends of the earth For if thou do but a little stand still and consider thy self in what state the Lord found thee and how helpless thou wert of thy self or of any man but by the power of God And then again how the Lord alone heard thy cryes and remembred thee in the dust and with his own Arme brought salvation unto thy desolated soul I say when thou Considerest these things in the depths of Gods Counsel with what eye canst thou look unto man then with an eye that God hath opened to see all flesh to be grasse and the glory of it as the flower of the grasse when the Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it it soon fadeth away So unto him who commanded Light to shine out of darkness and gave light into thy dwellings let every soul within thy Camp O Israel be subject and ascribe all Glory for he is the first and he is the last and besides him there is no God that is able to deliver thy soul from death and thy feet from falling Amen Concerning Government in Families c AND now hear O ye Tribes of Israel even all you who are Masters Parents Governours of Familyes or Teachers of children and young people This is the word of the Lord unto you all take heed to your own spirit and see in and with what spirit you rule and govern for all who are not in the Spirit of the Lord cannot serve him nor be serviceable to him in their several places and amongst their several Familyes Tribes and Congregations unto whom every particular must give account of his Stewardship Therefore see that ye walk and live and rule in the Spirit power and Wisdom of God in the still quiet and cool spirit in which every thought is weighed and judged and in it watch for the Seed and its appearance when it ariseth in them all amongst whom ye are placed and reprove exhort and correct in the Dominion of God and in the Wisdome and Patience of the Lord Jesus Christ and in due time and season even in the feeling of the Leadings of the Seed of God in your selves And for the Seeds sake and the Lords sake who searcheth your hearts and wait for the raising of it up in all your Familyes that it may be Head and Ruler in and among you all that the blessings of the Lord God may be upon you and his presence may bless your Familyes that ye may be a blessing and refreshment one to another and be refreshed one in another even in the Love and Life of God which is but one in all And rule not with rigor for that savours of the Land of darknesse Nor in a wrong Dominion in conceitedness self-willedness or in an impatient brittle spirit but in the Wisdom of God which is first pure then gentle and peaceable in his fear and dread and in love and meekness and in uprightness of heart and mind as in Gods sight doing all things as unto him who seeth in secret and will reward openly For the Seed is soon oppressed and the evil is soon strengthned by a wrong Government out of the true Wisdom in the wrong Authority and it will cry to God in Servants and Children when it is grieved and oppressed and God will hear it and it will witnesse against such Parents Masters Rulers or Governours as do not answer it in the Wisdom and Love of God in their Ruling and Governing Reproving or Correcting for it is the even Ballance that will let them see and feel as well as you when the weight is short or when it exceeds in all your words actions and carriages and then the evil being present it will take advantage thereby and an hardness and stubbornness will encrease in and among them and a liberty and strength in all manner of evill when the witness of God is not answered and the seed raised which would scatter all such things Therefore great is your Charge who are Masters Parents and Governours of Familyes and great should be your care and diligence for the suppressing and keeping under the rebellious and wild nature and the cherishing and strengthning the good part in all your Familyes from the least to the greatest For that is Gods who will call you to account how you have answered it and been careful that you have not hurt the least appearance of it And whether you have been as tender of it as the Apple of your eye for so is it unto the Lord who will plead its cause with all its Oppressors and Grievours within and without without respect of persons And when you exhort admonish or correct them or find a cause so to do then wait you upon God to feel his presence and Seed to lead govern and go before you that Christ Jesus may be your Head and have the preheminence and the Government upon his Shoulders whose Right it is in all things And let your words be few seasoned in the savour of the Power and pure gentle wisdom of God cool quiet and low and not loud and clamorous heady or wilfull for that savours of the foolish woman whose feet are without which buildeth not her house but puls it down with her hands but the wise buildeth it up to the praise and glory of God So let Christ whom you professe be known and exalted Head in and among and over you all even the power and wisdom of God Then will the Lord be honoured and the Seed answered and the evil be kept under by him whose right it is onely to Reign and Govern among the children of men And take heed that for want of watchfulness circumspection and wisdom ye do not discourage the tender appearance of truth and sobriety in your Children or Servants or any under your Government by reproving before others or out of due time for that may and will hurt and grieve the Seed and beget evil thoughts stubbornness and an answering again which will arise in the corrupt part

in thine own house And the sheep that was Lost brought home upon shoulders of the good Shepherd who laid down his life for their sakes And when the Lord withdrew his presence for a little moment was not thine heart troubled and couldst thou be satisfied till thou hadst found him again whom thy soul loved And when thou hadst found him didst thou not say in thine heart This is my beloved this is my friend I will hold him fast and not let him go untill he hath brought me into the house of her that bare him or into the Land of rest in which is peace joy comfort and satisfaction for evermore Didst not thou rejoyce when Moses came to Pharaoh King of Egypt the Land of Bondage and Darkness and Charged him to let thee go though it were but three dayes Journey into the Wilderness because of the heavy Burthens and sore Afflictions which thou enduredst under the oppressing Task-masters of the uncircumcised But didst thou think what would befall thee in the Wilderness the many holes and pits and turnings among the wild beasts in drought hunger and sore travell Yet how did the Lord allure thee and then many times spake comfortably unto thee And led thee by a right way though it seemed hard and strange unto the murmurer and to that spirit which would have made a Captain to return back into Egypt that Land of Darkness and Bondage on which the plagues were poured forth because of the oppression of his seed Therefore hear O Israel and consider who is a God like unto thy God or what man was able to do these things which the Lord hath done for thee by his own Arme which he stretched forth and revealed in the midst of thee who gave thee Precepts Commandements Statutes and Judgements to direct guide counsel instruct and strengthen thee in the way thou shouldest walk which is none other then that which first appeared for thy deliverance though its Name was then known no greater then I AM or the Light of Israel which did after become a flame and the holy One as a fire to consume and destroy his and thine enemies round about This is he who said I am God I change not therefore the sons of Jacob are not consumed This is thy God who commanded thee saying Thou shalt have no other Gods but me nor make forme or grave any likeness or Image to bow down unto For I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God and will visit the iniquity and sins of all them that transgresse against my Commandements Therefore take heed that thou bow not or give thine heart mind and affections unto any thing visible or invisible but to the Lord thy God alone whose Name is but one and changeth not even the Light which makes manifest all things and divides the Darkness from it and hath no fellowship with the unfruitfull workes and workers therein but doth reprove them though never so secret and will not hold him guiltlesse who taketh his name in vaine And all they who depart not from iniquity and whose tongues are not bridled ruled or subjected by the power of the Lord and who are not thereby guided in wisdome meekness and fear such take the Name of the Lord in vaine such are guilty and shall so appeare before God Angels and men For as I said the day hastens in which no shadow of death or secret dark place though as deep as hell or as high as the starres of heaven shall be able to hide the worker of wickedness under the fairest Covering The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Therefore again hear O Israel and repair with speed every man to his Tent and none look out but all feel and see the glory of the Lord God which is like devouring fire at thy Tent door burning up all that which is contrary to him that thou mayst be preserved in this day of the Lords Passeover who is not onely passing over but also through the very hearts reines and Consciences of the Children of men with his grounded Staffe yea even searching and trying to the ground and bottom of all foundations and buildings And he will fight with the contrary the dark mountaines the false foundations and deceitfull Coverings with Battles of shakings of totterings of stripings and rentings yea the vaile shall be rent from the top to the bottom though it be in the very Temple it self that they that have lyen in their graves may arise and come forth and that he might appeare before the eyes of all to be the Son of God in whom is no guile who humbled himself to the death of the Crosse and through it came to Triumph over principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places This is thy Captain O Israel therefore think not of another nor make another nor forme any likeness of him or of any thing in heaven or in earth for there is not another whom thou art to worship follow or subject unto but him alone at whose presence the vails rent and the dead arise and at whose Birth and coming the heavenly hoast sing for Joy but the Tribes of the earth mourne he that hath an ear to hear let him hear who is now come with power and great glory in the Clouds of heaven not of the earth to reward every man equally according to his workes and words without respect of persons For he is a righteous and just God he is not as a man that he should change alter or vary from what he was in the beginning who by his power is able to raise up Children unto Abraham at this day of them that have lyen among the pots Therefore let your eyes look toward his holy place whence he ariseth to silence all flesh before him and cease from man whose breath is in his nostrills and is as a worme and dust before him And know this that thy God who raised thee to be a people above all the Families of the Earth and hath given thee great dominion that if thou shalt exalt thy self and say This thou hast done and the other thou hast done and secretly take the honour and glory to thy self and listest thine heare up out of the uprightness and integrity before him and shall slight his mercies and not walke humbly in his sight but forget his wonderfull workes and to ascribe the glory 〈◊〉 unto his Name That he then is able to rent the Kingdome from thee and give thee a beasts heart and drive thee out to seed with Oxen even among the beasts of the field And this God will manifest on such as he hath divers times amongst the sons of men That all flesh may feare and tremble before him and bow at his Name which must and shall be exalted above every Name and ascribe acknowledgments of mercy righteousness power and glory unto him for evermore For this is the same God that set a Print upon Jobs heels and marked all his steps whose
