A78561 A tender salutation: or, loving epistle to such, who have a breathing in the innocent life of my friends with whom I walked in the outward observances. Also, for my relations (after the flesh) with all others professing God, and that have any breathings after the truth in the inward parts. Wherein something is declared in the power and light of God, concerning the sure foundation, and the house of God, with the inward glory, government, cloathing, feeding, non-superiority, and safety, that is in Gods habitation. With a word to the weak to establish them, that they faint not at the appearances of outward trouble for their consciences. - Whereunto is annexed a further discovery of God to my soul, concerning the spiritual temple, tabernacle and ark of Gods testimony, being the truth, life, and substance of the temple, tabernacle and ark of the testimony under the legal day. - To be read in the light, which discovers the things that be of God. - Chandler, Jacob. 1664 (1664) Wing C1927A; ESTC R227552 24,960 33

brightnesse that is shining in them Mat 17.5 6 7 8. that is seen and felt in the light and life of God Oh what a covering hiding and vailing of the flesh is there as not being able to look upon or behold such brightnesse of his glory Friends these things are true and faithful VII The everlasting God did promise to meet with his people in the Legal day and to commune with them upon the Mercy-seat c. Oh Friends God in old times did speak Heb. 1.1 2. commune and meet with his people in divers manners and at sundry times but now in these last dayes he has and does speak meet and commune with his people in and by his Son Mark 9.7 who sayes This is my Son hear him And it s he that has the mind and message of the Father and shews it his true Disciples He speaks not of himself but what he hears and receives of the Father that he declares John 3.32 John 10.30 1 John 2.23 and here it is that the soul meets and communes with the Father because he hath the Son for the Father and the Son are one and he that hath the Son hath the Father also and he that hath the Father hath the Son also Now as any soul comes to hear the voyce of the Son of God in themselves particularly and comes to obey the voyce of the Son of God in themselves which obedience is life comes to meet with the Father in the tender imbraces of divine love seated in his tender mercies but if the soul rebells and disobeyes his heavenly voyce Isa 63.10 and vexes his holy Spirit then the soul comes not to partake of this heavenly blessing to wit of this heavenly communication and glorious making forth of the eternal presence of the everlasting God but I say if the soul hears and obeyes the voyce of the Son of God as he obeys so he comes to have life and because he lives whose voyce it is they obey they shall live also for said Christ Because I live ye shall live also John 14 19. whose voyce is in the soul calling to be pure as God is pure holy as God is holy and so to live in all manner of holy conversation in the streamings forth of the life within 1 Pet. 1.15 whose voyce calls for a love to all righteousnesse and to a hatred and forsaking of all iniquity though never so secret whose voyce is for inward cleansing inward purifying As be ye pure and clean that bear the Vessels of the Lord. Now if we would be Vessels holding the treasures of heaven in us 2 Cor. 4.7 if we would be Temples of the Holy Ghost houses and habitations of God through the Spirit we must be pure clean and holy for Friends Holinesse becomes the house of the Lord for ever Now this the voyce of Christ the Son of God calls for in us Isal 93.5 and as every soul comes to obey the voyce of the Son in the Spirit of power he comes to meet and commune with the eternal God in his everlasting mercies Thus Friends ye have a brief description of what God has shew'd unto me though more sometimes by the light of God I see in a great deep for the which there is a desire in me to be found waiting on the everlasting light till he is pleased to bring it forth and duly manifest it Now how by Temple Tabernacle Ark can be meant or understood outward Ordinances as at the beginning was spoke of and for such that are come to this state herein mentioned and have no freedom to subscribe to and walk in I know not but I have a testimony in my soul that the substance comprehends and includes all the shadows and signs and signs are not for them that believe but for them that believe not so that if my soul enjoyes the substance and lives in the possession according to the measure the which I have an inward testimony of let who will question it the which some has done then I have the end of all the shadows and signs Col. 2.16 17. for they all end in Christ who is the truth substance of all light life power Gospel Covenant Word Supper Baptisme Rest c. so that in him my soul reposes and finds rest and in his light can dilcern betwixt the shadow and the substance the form and the power the letter and the Spirit not slighting that without yet esteeming more of that within and walk in that without as I find freedom within and so my soul enjoyes peace Isa 32.17 for its peace God calls unto and the effect of righteousnesse is peace and that is righteous that God works so unto what the righteous God works freedom to therein let 's obey herein none shall be oppressed and his Conscience Lorded over but walk in the freedom and liberty wherewith Christ does make free only Brethren use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh the which if you do pretend to liberty in Christ and walk carnally you demonstrate that you know not this liberty and freedom by Christ but are in bondage to this day Judge not rashly least you be judged for with what rash judgment ye judge of the same shall you be judged withall Wherefore holy Brethren partakers of the heavenly calling consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession Christ Jesus Who was faithful to him that appointed him as also Moses was faithful in all his house For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses and Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after But Christ as a Son over his own house whose house are we if we hold fast the considence and the rejoycing of the hope firm unto the end Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith To day if you will hear his voyce harden not your hearts c. So I sware in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest Because I was grieved with that generation and said They do alway erre in their hearts and they have not known my wayes Wherefore Brethren Take heed least there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God Hebr. 3.1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 12. Now unto 〈◊〉 him who is able to keep you from falling I commit you and the peace of God that passeth all understanding fill you and God everlasting make you perfect strengthen establish settle you working in you that-which-is-well-pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever and for ever Amen Near the end of the 4th Month in the Year 1664. Your Brother That waits to see the redemption of the pure seed of God in you all and its enlargement over all the Earth J. C. THE END
