the salvation of the Lord. Yea the Nations shall see it and a meer man shall say there is a reward for the righteous verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth But the Eagle-eyed Saints of the most High God that do already see beyond all vails and coverings that are not of the Spirit can now say that Babylon is fallen yea the Towers thereof are now faln she is sunk as a milstone in the Sea she shall rise no more even that Scarlet-coloured Whore that hath for so many ages together intoxicated the Kings of the Earth with her filthy Cup of Fornication and as well her Supporters as her Merchants that were supported by her are both ready to cry Alas alas and stand aloof off from her not daring if desiring to give her any help or shew her any kindness or pity 'T is blood of Saints she hath long had and blood she shall have now to drink her self for she is worthy and that doubly filled unto her by such as are taught of God to shake their hands from holding her bribes whether Gold or Silver or any of her carnal delicacies pleasures or preferments but shall execute the Vengeance written in that holy zeal for Gods House against her false Temple-worships that it shall even eat them up that do it and cause them to cease from a desire of being but in the Will of him that calls to work and gathers his sanctified ones together from all quarters and corners whither the winds of strife and dissention of Sects and Parties hath carried them for whose sake the many Waters or multitudes of People and Nations shall quickly divide and stand upon heaps for the Ransomed to pass thorow the tumult and noise thereof into that holy stilness and rest both inward and outward wherein they may lie down quietly none shall be able to make them afraid Nor shall the single work of Vengeance upon the seed of Enmity be all that Christ hath now to do in the world but his holy meek ones that have been his faithful servants in giving the word of their Testimony crying aloud and not sparing great or small and therein have walked with God not before him in the hasty wrath of man nor staid behind him or tarried longer in a severe ministration than to see Justice and Mercy kiss each other such I say shall be taken on and translated to the more higher or more excellent way of love to Righteousness Truth and Peace that passes understanding and being enabled to sing the song of Moses and of the Lamb shall cease to strive any longer with men in an outward warfare as having obtained the victory over the Accuser or evil-one within them but in stead of maintaining Feuds and marks of distinction or enmity shall imitate the good Samaritan in pouring Wine and Oyl into the wounds of any that refuse not to be healed being big with desire to see all as intire by love as they themselves are by patience that the very whole race of mankind if it were possible might joyn with them in singing the new Gospel-Song of praise Glory to God in the highest peace on earth and good will towards men For as all flesh is grass and the glory of man consisting in the wisdom of words or thoughts but as the flower of grass the one withers and the other fades so the living word of God that lies deeper in the heart than both the other abides for ever and they whose union is perfect therewith cannot but desire it for all else even in his will and love that is the Saviour of the world and will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth so are they the true publishers or preachers in good works as well as words of the everlasting Gospel to all Nations who ere long shall bring all their honour to the Lamb and the very wealth or forces of the Gentiles must come freely to Christ's Church and followers O ye followers of the Lamb whithersoever he goes who have girded up the loines of your mind in true sobriety and hope to the end of all things which is at hand hasten to come forth of all Sects and Parties wherein the cunning adversary hath beguiled and detained you tempting to retain unbrotherly distinctions between members of the same Body which is but one whose hope also calling Lord faith baptism is but one Live therefore as if ye were all of him and he all to you as well as in all else beside you though some indeed are worthy but of single as others are of double honour Joyn ye hands and hearts to countermine the Seducer and at once convince the world whose disciples you are by loving one another Come ye off with one consent out of all particular by-wayes or forms to the power and life even the true end of the Commandment which is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfained ye have too long sown the changeable wind of strife and contention among your selves and reapt the whirlwind of fierceness and cruelty one upon another learn ye at last to sowe besides all waters or people and so send forth your affections like the feet of the Oxe for labour and the Asse for bearing burdens learn oh diligently learn to preach the everlasting Gospel to all Nations in fewer words and better works of universal love and brotherly kindness then the meer hireling could ever practise 'T is but a little yea very little while and he that shall come will come and will not tarry who hath already broken down the partition wall between God and man between man and man between Jew and Gentile and hath by his own pretious blood made of one blood all Nations who are his off-spring before the whotish spirit of this world claimes them and a division of them as the false Mother did of the child unto Solomon behold a greater than Solomon hath bounded all habitations to the end that none might invade or violate others or cover the inlargement of their own dominion The earth is the Lord 's not ours but as we are his and being so all things are ours and become subject to us without force or striving When we dwell in love we dwell in God for God is love that 's his white Name and pure Nature whereby we are to know him as also to be known of him and each to other whether among brethren or strangers for this being in the heart strife of tongues and division of language will abate quickly This is that which makes most desireable not the upper but the lower seat whether at the feast of fat things which Christ makes or in the Synagogue which consists not of Satan's followers who are the outward Jewes onely but inward ones circumcised in heart seeking their praise not of men but God who sees in secret but rewards openly but does first train up his sons and daughters
