thirsting and hungering after the way of Truth and Righteousness and hath been and still are seeking and hunting among the husks shells and shadows for to find the substance but still fail of your expectation and cannot find true and perfect satisfaction but secretly in your hearts are panting and thirsting after the living water and are weary of feeding upon the husks and begin to say within your selves to each other Come we have been long wandering abroad hunting after the Lord afar of seeking of him in this Form and the other Form running from Mountain to Hill from one Man to another to enquire for him whom our Souls long for but we still want the true enjoyment of him And although man hath told us we should find him there in this Way and in the other Way in this Form and in the other Form in this Ordinance and the other Ordinance wherein we have been tossed about and turned from one broken Cistern to another but still we want true satisfaction for our souls for we want the true enjoyment of the assurance of the Love and Peace of God wherefore come let us no longer hunt abroad nor run any longer from one man to another But oh come let us retire our minds inward and in stillness and quietness in sollidness and seriousness let us wait upon the Lord and he himself will teach us of his wayes and lead us into the path of Righteousness where we shall meet him whom our souls hath long panted after even as the Hart panteth after the water Brooks wherefore let us wait upon the Lord for the Lord is good to the man Lam. 3. 2 that waiteth for him to the Soul that seeketh him Therefore come let us both hope and quietly without hunting any more abroad wait to finde and feel in our selves the salvation of the Lord that so we may in truth come to find and to say He is come he is come and made manifest in us whom our souls longed after and behold his reward is with him even joy comfort peace rest and satisfaction to our souls Lo this is the Lord we have waited for him Lo this is our God whom we have waited for now let us rejoyce and be glad in his salvation and praise his Eternal Name I say dear people towards you is the opening and yearning of my bowels in the
