A58143 Light sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart This is to go abroad among all people who are honest-hearted, especially amongst the inhabitants in Fourns Fells, in Lancashire, and among all who have known me after the flesh, that all honest people may see what I was in profession, and also what I now am by the grace of God. From him which hath come through great tribulations, who hath even left all for Christ, and hath not whereon to lay his head, but is forsaken of father and of mother, and of kinred also, even for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, whom the world calls, Thomas Rawlinson.

but according to the multitude of his mercies so the long-suffering and patience of God led me to repentance and then J came clearly to see that it was the Lord indeed that appeared unto me and had set these things before me and not man that had so long called unto me though then J knew him not but when J knew indeed that it was the Lord that spoke unto me J then gave up all willingly and left off frequenting all sorts of people their Assemblies too sate alone in silence waiting in the silence of my spirit for the Lord and was as a travelling VVoman pained to be delivered yea J was almost quite gone and had even despaired of hope had not the Lord had compassion and been very merciful unto me who drew near and sustained me when the night of darkness was over me for it pleased the Lord while J was yet in patience waiting for him to reveal his Son in me who hath even appeared and is risen with healing in his Wings So now in him my weary soul after long travel is come to find rest and peace for evermore which no man can take from me if J be faithful to the end Blessing and praises and honor and glory and dominion and thanksgiving to the Lord God of Sabbaths and to the Lamb for ever and ever who hath given me the peace and the victory in measure over death hell and the grave praises to the Lord for his mercies fails not but are renewed every moment towards his servant and such as fear him who hath not left my soul in hell neither hath he suffered his holy one to see corruption but hath ransomed my soul from death and the grave into perfect liberty even to joy and gladness and all sorrovv and sighing doth flye avvay for the years of rejoicing is come praises endless praises and honor and glory to him that sitteth upon the Throne of Judgement and Mercy vvho takes avvay the sins of the vvorld and saves his people from their sins that they may praise him together vvith one accord in the land of the living vvho hath done vvonderfully for me that J even admire the goodness of God tovvards me in all his vvorks everlasting glorious praises and blessing to him for evermore vvhose right it is and vvhose vvorks praises him not unto me Lord not unto me but unto thee holy vvise God over all be all the glory and the honor Let all that know the Lord praise him above all for his mercies endureth for ever who now hath brought me into fellowship with the Saints in light Neighbors and Friends These things I write not unto you to have praise of you for I receive not honor from man but that ye may know and understand what God hath wrought and what he hath done for my soul that all might come to praise the Lord and to admire him who hath done great things in the Earth So this is a Warning unto every one of you That ye rest not satisfied in any thing short of Christ but that ye may all even turn to the light and believe in the light and walk in the light while ye have the light lest any be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin and so come short of the Grace of God So all be warned that ye put not trust in a false confidence in a false faith and in a vain hope and so ye get up into a false joy below Christ for the end of this is weeping mourning sorrow and lamentation so take heed how ye choose to follow your Priests lest ye also perish with them together being partakers with them in their sins so choose not to follow your own Ways neither lean not to your own understandings nor put no trust to your own Righteousness glory not in your own Wisdom and strength but now even all of you come to the Light Christ the Righteousness of God to put him on and so to put off your own righteousness that ye coming to the light and follow the light to have the righousness of the Law fulfilled in you that every one of you may prove your selves so search and try your own Ways and turn to the true light Christ Jesus who enlightneth every man that cometh into the World and see if ye can witness Christ in you Know ye not how Christ is in you except ye be reprobates I say if ye know not Christ formed in you if ye feel not the life of the Son of God moving and breathing in you towards God I say if Christ be not raised ye are yet in your sins if the dead rise not and so your Faith is vain and your Profession also For as many as receives Christ receives the Righteousness of God in him receives Gods Righteousness for Christ is Gods Righteousness and who hath not Christ their Righteousness is of themselves and so are ignorant of Gods righteousness who knows not the Light Christ in them who will not come to the light so will not submit to the righteousness of God but would establish their own righteousness yet will not such people speak against self-righteousness and against self-actings when as all their Righteousness and Works is of themselves How blind are these people who out of their own mouth hath condemned themselves wherein all they do is of themselves in their Will-Worship to be seen of men and would lay these things to our charge whom they call Quakers and saith that we altogether set up Works before Christ always perswades people to Works and to the keeping the Commandments and the like Answ This is false Though We perswade people to be followers of good Works and to the keeping of the Commandments according to Christs exhortation yet We do not turn people to Works before We turn them to Christ but We first exhort them to believe in the light so they are lyars for this is our Message To turn people from the darkness to the Light Christ who lightneth every man that they may have their works wrought in the Light Christ who works all our works in us and for us and he that loves the light brings his deeds to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God but what is this to them who are not come unto the light neither hath believed in the light have they not manifested their ignorance and that all their works of righteousness are of themselves and that they have no other righteousness who are not come to the light mark and take notice of this That all their deeds and works are onely of themselves wrought in darkness until such time as they come to be turned from the darknesse to the light for that which is not wrought in the light is wrought in darknesse So hovv can such escape the judgements of God vvho have so falsly accused us that have renounced our own Righteousness and hath vvillingly submitted to the Righteousness of
