had a hand and the Rulers have been very ready and attentive to the Priests to help them with their assistance as your steeple-houses stocks and prisons will manifest to all sober people that are honest hearted but this do you all know assuredly that the Lord God who is just and righteous in all his wayes and will not suffer the oppressour to go unpunished he will call you to an account for these things and will give unto every one of you a just reward according to your doings yea even as you have afflicted and scourged the innocent lambs of Christ so shall you be afflicted with a sore affliction and shall be scourged with the rod of Gods wrath yea even as you have thirsted after blood blood shall you drink and even as you have cast the members of Christ into dungeons and filthy holes so shall you that joyn with the Priests and the old Dragon their Master against the Lords people be cast into the lake that burneth for ever except you repent and turn from your wicked wayes and own the light of Christ in you which reproves for sin and ungodliness and will lead into soberness and meekness if you obey it and to do unto all men as you would they should do unto you and to this pure light of Christ Jesus in all your consciences which judgeth and reproves you in secret when you do that which is evil unto this must you all bow and bend if ever you know peace with God or salvation from sin and in vain do any expect salvation who are not turned to the light of Christ in them which makes manifest sin in its first appearance and it doth not onely discover sin but it also leads out of sin all them that love it and obey it and now all them that are not yet turned to the light they are in the darkness and in the alienation and are strangers to the light of righteousness and these are them that hate and persecute those that do walk in the light unto which they themselves are not joyned for darkness cannot have any communion with light but they that walk in the light they have unity one with another and they persecute none neither envy they any man for the children of light never persecuted any but they were alwayes in all ages persecuted by Cains generation and out of the same nature that was in Cain in which he slew his brother doth all the persecution arise from the foundation of the world even unto this day for there is but two generations to wit the children of light and the children of darkness and the children of darkness alwaies persecuted the children of light and therefore look back all ye persecutors and see whose stock ye are of and the witness of God in you will tell you that you are of Cains generation whose of-spring you are you are of Hamons seed whose envy was almost as great against the poor scattered Jews as yours is against the Quakers yet the Lord he delivered them out of his hand and brought destruction upon their enemies and the Lord he is the same God as he was then and as mighty in power as he was then and he will deliver his people out of their enemies hands and will assuredly bring his plagues and judgements upon all them that seek their ruine as ever he did upon Hammon and the more you strive to overcome them the more shall they increase and flourish for as the persecution doth abound so much the more their consolation with Christ doth abound and the more abundantly is the power of the Lord made manifest in them and in it they lie down in rest and peace in a quiet habitation into which the unclean cannot come for the power of the Lord compasseth them about and in it they rest in safety and none can make them afraid From him who is a● one of the lest of the Lords servants is this written and sent abroad among all people as a warning to them all that they all repent and turn to the Lord with speed before the wrath of God breaks forth upon them for these things which are here declared shall certainly fall upon all the unrepented ones Thomas Woodrove A Sallutation to the Children of light who are turned to the Lord especially to them in Dorset-shire ALL you children of the light who are turned to the Lord lift up your heads and rejoyce and be you bold and valient for the Lord and for his truth and all walk wisely and circumspectly in all times and in all places that the name of the Lord may be honoured by you all and all keep down to the pure meek and lowly principal in you all and then shall you never want bread to feed upon nor water to drink but your bread shall be sure and your springs shall never be dry and your light shall alwayes shine and your sun shall never go down and your moon shall never be e●lipsed nor be hid but the Lord will be your everlasting light your rock and your strong fortress and the Lord God Almighty who is rich and large and bountiful unto all his children that hunger and thirst after him he will crown you with strength and honour as you keep faithful unto him and all the powers of darkness shall never prevail against you for the Lord is with us and he is greater then all and his power rules over all and he hath the hearts of all men in his own hand and he can do with them as he pleases and unto him all shall bow and all the high Oaks and all the tall Cedars shall bend themselves before the Lords pure presence who is now arisen for the redemption of his own seed from under its grievous oppression and cruel bondage and now must that which hath held the Lords seed captive goe into captivity and this is the mighty work that the Lord hath and is bringing to pass and therefore let all the living praise his name for ever and ever and all walk worthy of your calling whereunto the Lord hath called you and all prize the Lords rich love towards you in that he hath visited you and made known the way of life and salvation unto you and hath in a great measure redeemed you from the pollutions of this world and from under the chains of darkness under which you had long been bound and hath pulled the feet of many out of the mire and clay and hath set them upon a rock where they stand sure O endless rich love glory glory honour and prayses be unto thy name Lord God Omnipotent for thou art worthy And all friends every where let not the gratious dealings of the Lord towards you be forgoten but let it be had in a perpetual remembrance and all walk worthy of the Lords rich love and mercy towards you and let not the name of the Lord nor his truth be dishonoured by any disorderly walking but all keep in the fear of God and there the power of God you will feel and in it be preserved but out of the fear of God out of the power of God so all dwell in the fear of God and here the power is known From him who is a Babe in Christ or as one of the lest of all that have believed yet to the truth and all that live in it I know my love is not the lest T.
