Dwell low in the pure fear of the Lord for there is safety that keeps the heart clean and so the pure wisdom from above is received into the pure heart and bring all your deeds to the Light that so they may be proved and tried whether or no they be wrought in God Weigh your words and your Actions in the ballance of equity and be upright and just in all your dealings amongst men in your buyings and sellings and whatsoever things you take in hand let the Light of Jesus be your guide that so your consciences may be exercised towards God and man that you may be kept blamelesse and harmlesse as children of God amongst this wicked and untoward Generation of men who daily watch with an evil eye for your halting thereby to take occasion to blaspheme God and his pure Truth which ye in a measure are growing up in and in a good measure redeemed from the vile and filthie conversation of the world Dear Friends keep nothing back but freely give up into the Will of God that which is for the Sword to the Sword and that which is for the Famine to the Famine and what is for the Fire to the Fire that you may be thorowly cleansed and purified and tried as Gold and Silver is tried Whatsoever the Light of Christ doth discover unto you to be evil and an enemy to your souls cast it off hide not the enemies of your peace in your own bosoms for whatsoever you keep back will be as thorns in your sides and as pricks in your eyes Therefore cast off every weight and burden that you may run with cheerfulnesse the Race set before you that through the trials and tribulations you may come and so enjoy the promised Land for through many tribulations and fiery trials doth the children of God passe for the children of Israel after they were come forth of Egypt had many Enemies to war withall before they came to the promised Land and many fainted in the way and through unbelief fell in the Wildernesse which things are written and left upon Record that those that should come after might take warning and not give way to the Tempter least they fall as they did and so come short of the eternal rest Therefore every one of you take warning and take heed least there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God but abide in the measure of God which is pure and perfect though but as a grain of Mustard-Seed yet wait and you will finde the growth of it When trials come be content murmure not but endure with patience the chastning of the Lord for every child whom he loves he rebukes and chastens for he that is not corrected and chastised of the Lord is a Bastard and no Son And now is the time come that Judgement is begun at the house of God and if it first begin at us what will become of the wicked and them that obey not the Gospel of God Surely wo will be their portion and condemnation and misery will be the end of ungodly men but blessed are they that suffer tribulation and persecution for righteousnesse sake they shall inherit the Kingdom of Glory he that overcomes and endures to the end shall be crowned with Victorie and shall eat of the hidden Manna and have right unto the Tree of Life and shall have Vnion and Fellowship with the Father and the Son and reign with the Lord God and the Lamb in the holy City for ever and ever Therefore though you now be afflicted be not cast down through unbelief though you now weep and mourn and be reproached and reyiled yet your sorrow shall be turned into joy it is but for a little moment of time until the night and the stormy day be over and then will come a calm though sorrow and trouble may endure for a night yet joy will come in the morning when the Day-star doth arise and the glorious day of the Lord doth dawn in your hearts then shall darknesse be expelled and sorrow and sighing flie away and the presence of the Lord in the Light shall be seen in whose presence there is gladnesse and great joy and you all his faithful ones who have passed through many tribulations and have not loved your lives unto death shall worship him in his holy Temple and thereshall be no need of light of Sun Moon or Candle but the glory of the Lord shall fill the Temple and shall be a Light continually for all his dear children to walk in So all my dearlie beloved ones who are in the time of trouble and trial with you I do partake and bear part of your burthen as being a Member of the same body and if one Member suffer all the Members suffers with it and though you come to such a condition trouble within and trouble without on every side Enemies yet do not distrust God neither look back into the world of darknesse again there is no help for you there but as the Children of Israel in former time were incompassed about Pharoah behinde and the Red Sea before and on either side Mountains they were even ready to faint and murmure but Moses the Servant of the Lord who was chosen to be their Leader out of Egypt he exhorted them to stand still and see the salvation of God they were not to stand still in Egypt but being come forth of Egypt the Lord shewed his wonderful hand in preservin g of them So I say unto you dear friends who are come forth of the Egyptian darknesse and are delivered from those grosse evils that the world lives in and have a light born up in your understandings to lead you but yet do finde many enemies warring against you even they of your own house so that you know not what to do nor which way to go to finde peace I say unto you will nothing neither do you run before your guide but stand still in the Light that discovers your Enemies and there wait in the will of God and you will see salvation from the Lord by his living Power binding and chaining and subduing the strong Enemies which wars against your souls and so a secret hope will be begotten in you by the powerful Word of the Lord which is night in your hearts which doth purifie your hearts and that which formerlie you committed imposlible by Faith in the Light which comes from the Son of God you see to be possible and the Lords perfect work being begun in you you have a strong hope and knows assuredlie that he who hath begun a good work in you he will perfect it to his own glorie And he that hath this hope purifies himself even as Christ is pure And here is the patience and the Faith of Saints which though never so little if it be but as a grain of Mustard Seed it removes the strong and high Mountains of Sin and gives victorie over the the
world and the lusts of it and so purifies the heart And this is the true and the living Faith which the Saints of God were in who were of one heart and one soul and it is the same now as it was then and all who are in this Faith by it their hearts are purified and so are led into purity and one-ness of minde and heart to serve and worship one living and true God in one living and pure way which is in spirit and in truth where there is no rent nor division but pure love and union written in one anothers hearts with the Spirit of the living God So in the light which from the Lord Jesus Christ doth come who is the true Light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world which Light is but one in all though thousand times ten thousands this Light is pure and but one and all who love it and believe in it are led into onenesse and Unity of Spirit In it every one wait and walk that you may he led out of death and darknesse and all the untoward wayes of the world into the pure way of Righteousnesse and Peace to follow Christ in the narrow Path which whosoever follows shall not walk in darknesse but shall have the Light of Life And dwell in love and union watching over one another with a pure 〈…〉 and be tender over one another as Members all of one 〈◊〉 and if any be overtaken with a fault you that are spiritual restore such a one in the Spirit of meeknesse that shame and condemnation may come upon the transgressor and the innocent may be set free and let not the cursed thing lodge among you but be ye holy in all manner of conversation because the Lord our God is holy and no unclean thing can dwell with him nor enter into his righteous Kingdom Therefore be ye separate from the ungodly world and touch no unclean thing and the Lord will receive you and will be to you as a Father and you shall be his Sons and Daughters Cast away all filthinesse from amongst you and let no prejudice lodge nor rest within any of you but forgive one another as God in Christ hath forgiven you for if you do not forgive men their trespasses no more will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you do you likewise unto them for this is the Doctrine of Christ and it is not the sayer but he that both his Will shall know his Doctrine So the Lord in pure Wisdom keep you and preserve you out of all strife and contention that a daylie growth there may be amongst you that you all may be established in the living truth no more to be tossed to and fro with mens Doctrines which be changeable but all wait upon God in the Light which never changes that you may be all taught of God and every particular may feed upon your own food and have sufficient bread in your own houses to feed upon that there be not a beggar in Israel nor no Vagabond but that all of you may have a habitation in God and grow up in him that the Springs of life may be opened and your souls may be fullie refreshed with the bread of life in my Fathers house And all my beloved Friends keep your habitations and stand upon your Watch that you may hear the voice of your beloved when he calls and be obedient to his voice and do his will and after you have done his will take heed of exaltation but wait in patience that you may receive the Promise for the same that is unwilling to obey the will of God when the will of God is obeyed will get up into presumption and that which doth presume in the time of trial will despair Therefore every one be watchful and keep the door of the house of the Lord that the Enemie enter not to defile and pollute his holie Temple Turn not to the right hand nor to the left but keep in the even and plain way When joy and refreshment comes take heed of exaltation And again when trouble and crosses and afflictions comes do not fall into desparation but wait at Wisdoms Gate that you may be seasoned with Grace having salt in your selves to savor withal that you be not drawn away with the errors of the wicked but that all of you may be daylie refreshed and grow up in strength until you come to a perfect man in Christ Jesus the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and establish you in the Truth Written in love to your souls by way of remembrance to stir up your pure mindes by your dear Brother who is a laborer in the Lords vineyard ALEX.

Wrath Malice Pride Lust and Covetousnesse Murders Theft evil surmisings these and such like are works of the Devil Plants of his planting and these do defile a man and separates him from his Maker And as the Devils work is within in the heart and pollutes the heart so must the work of Christ be witnessed in the heart for the purifying and cleansing and destroying of the Devils works and so to make the body a fit Temple for himself to dwell in And this is the work of the Lord and it is marvellous in our eyes he is gathering his people into union and fellowship with himself breaking the bond of iniquity and letting the oppressed go free purifying and purging them with the Spirit of Judgment and of burning trying them as gold and silver is tryed that so his people may be a holy and a peculiar people a people in whom he will be glorified by a pure and a godly conversation who shall bring forth much fruit to his glory who hath redeemed them from the earth and from their vain and ungodly conversation We who were gone astray and wandring as Sheep without a Shepherd and were by nature the children of Wrath even as well as others hath the Lord wonderfully wrought his own work in us and called us out of death and darknesse into righteousnesse and peace to bring forth fruits of the Spirit love joy peace long-suffering gentlenesse goodnesse meeknesse temperance sobernesse and vertue and hath shed abroad his love in our hearts and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation to Minister unto others who sit in the shadow of death that you all may turn and repent and come into the way of life that your souls may live in which way the ungodly cannotwalk though it be a plain way that fools shal not enter therein yet the unclean cannot passe over it and this is the new and living way that leads to life eternal even Jesus Christ the onely begotten of the Father who is given of the Father freely for a Covenant of Light to enlighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of his people who is the alone way unto the Father as it is testified of him I am the Way the Truth aâ—d the Life and there is no man can come to the Father but by me I am the door and he that enters not in by the door is a thief and a Robber Now people every where who professe your selves to be Christians and Christ to be your way see if your lives be answerable to your profession for this I do declare from the Lord that no ungodly one can walk in this way Come and let us reason together you will all confesse with me that Christ is pure holy and righteous and he is the way to the Father and no other way then what way are the ungodly in who live in pride and covetousnesse envy wrath and malice you that live in the lusts of the flesh and the pleasures and hope of the world are you in Christ the way surely no you do but deceive your selves to think that you are in the way to salvation when you are going on the broad way to condemnation for Christ speaks of another way which all who live in sin are walking in They enter not in by the door but are climbing up another way building up Babel a Tower to reach up to heaven but the foundation is sandy and will not stand who are sayers and not doers and are in their sins alive in their old cross and perverse nature and so are one of Christ the way for if any man be in Christ he is a new Creature old things are passed away and behold all thingt are become new Minde this well all things are become new it is not reforming of some things and departing with some of your sins but all the old lusts must be denied all your old wayes and your old vain heathenish customs the old man must be wholly put off and the new man Christ Jesus put on Therefore cease from the evil of your wayes and put away lying and speak truth one to another and leave off your prophane Swearing and let your yea be yea and your nay nay for whatsoever is more is evil and out of the Doctrine of Christ and lay aside all Envie and Malice and all vain and needlesse Discourse which tends not to the Glory of God nor to edification of one another and let your words be few and in the fear of the Lord and put off all your Pride and lay down your Crowns at the feet of Jesus and learn humility and the fear of the Lord that your feet may be guided out of the pathes of death and from all unrighteousnesse and disobedience where the Curse of God is that you may walk in the way of the Lord and in his pure fear to stand in awe of him that so your hearts may be purified and your consciences purged from dead works to serve the Lord in the new life with a pure and a perfect heart that into his Covenant of life and peace where the blessing is you may all be led and eat the Bread of Life at the Table of the Lord that your souls may live and praise the Lord for evermore Written in love to all Souls that out of sin they may come and worship God in Spirit By a Servant of Chrict Alex. Parker To all the Beloved Ones who are of the Royal Seed whose faces be turned tovvards Sion Greeting DEarly beloved Friends you whom the Lord hath Visited in his Love and hath called you out of darknesse and your former vain Conversation into his marvelous Light and glorious Liberty of the Sons of God when many thousands are left in blindnesse and hardnesse of heart ful of envie and rage shut up in darknesse being alienated from the life of God and strangers from the Covenant of Promise Oh prize his love unto you a Remnant of despised ones yet beloved of God who hath called you with an holy Calling and separated you from the world of ungodly men that you may be a holy and a peculiar people without spot or wrinckle that you may be presented pure and perfect unto God Now my dear friends be valiant for your Freedom and stand in that Liberty wherein Christ hath set you free and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage and the weak and beggarly Elements of the world give not away your strength unto the Harlot though Sinners entice you consent not to them but stand in the counsel of God and keep your habitations dwelling in that which is pure which ye have received from God waiting in patience for power from the Lord to give you a full deliverance over the world and the pollutions and lusts of it that over it you may raign and all its fading Treasures laying up to your selves Treasures which never sades away durable riches where the Rust and Moth cannot come
evermore be the righteous God who hath hid these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to Babes Now for the simple ones sake I shall speak and declare that their minds may be informed and that they may not be kept in blindnesse by the God of the world The Apostle John was come to high attainments and saw through the vail he saw the first mans state where all are dead in sin and he saw the second mans state which was born of God and could not sin Now the natural man by all his wit wisdom cannot comprehend these things for as it is written The natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned So it is the Spirit that reveales the deep and hidden things of God and by the Spirit of God it is seen that the Apostle speaks to a condition before confession of sin and whereas he saith we many times they say we when they are passed from such conâ—itions as sames saith speaking of the tongue herewith bless we God and therewith curse we men but was fames a curser But read the following Verse where John saith But if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to foroive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and if you say that John had not confessed his sin I bear testimony and the Scripture likewise testifie the same that he had both confessed and forsaken his sins for his fellowship was with the Father and the Son and you may see in the beginning of the Chapter Truâ—y saith he our followship is with the Father and the Son Now if John had been in the unregenerate state and had not confessed his sin then could he not have had Union and Fellowship with the Father for God is Light and in him is no darkness a all if we say â—e have fellowship with God and walk in darkness we lie and do not the truth but if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light we have union and fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin mark well he doth not say from part of your sins but from all sin and this is that testimony that we bear of Christ That his blood cleanseth from all sin and he saveth to the utmost all that come unto God by him so if the Son make you free then are you free indeed But we do not speak of any freedom but by the light life and power of Jesus for if any one say he hath no sin before he come to witnesse Repentance and the power of Christ not being manifested in him to destroy take away his Sin he doth deceive himself the witnesse of God in his own conscience will testifie against him for if we say we have not sinned we make him a liar but where the life and power of Christ is manifested and the Devils works destroyed and the heart purified and the body made a temple of God shall we deny the work of God No far be it from us but to declare his Name abroad in the earth that others may dread and fear before him and â—â—pent of the evil of their ways that so they might rejoice with us in the love of our God and eat with us on the bread of life in our Fathers house that they may be changed and renewed and witness the birth which is from above which except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God Now this birth and this change hath long been talked of but who are they that are changed and born again Surely some there are God hath some of his own begetting and the Apostle saith He that is born of God sins not for his Seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God but this the world and the children of darknesse cannot believe nor endure to hear tell of but ready to tear and rend if any one come to know and witnesse a change And so all you that plead for sin you may see whom you serve even the devil the Prince of Darknesse who leads you guides you as long as you live in sin But blessed be God the happy day is come and the Lord hath many children who are begotten by the eternal Spirit and are kept by his power strength that the wicked one cannot touch them according as the Apostle testifieth VVe know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself that the wicked one toucheth him not let no man therefore deceive you with words for he that doth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous and he that commits sin is of the Devil hereby are the children of God manifest and the children of the Devil So all you that live in Envy and Wrath speaking evil of the things you know not you manifest your selves to be of the devil who hath begotten you into his image and likeness to do his lusts and so being after the flesh are found persecutors of them that are born after the Spirit as it was in former ages and generations the children of God were ever hated and reproached by the world but it is our joy accounting it great riches that we are counted worthy to suffer for his Names sake knowing this that all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution A Paper shewing who they are that are blessed and who they are that are cursed BLessed is the man that feareth the Lord and walketh in his way he shall be kept in peace when all the world is in trouble And Misery and no peace unto them who be out of the fear of God and out of the way of life in the broad way that leads to destruction following lusts and pleasures sporting themselves in the day-time you that live after the Course of this wicked world not regenerated and born again of the Word of God but live in your old vain wicked ungodly and vile courses in the fallen state bringing forth cursed fruits from the cursed ground sowing to the flesh and satisfying the lusts of it living in lying and swearing and drunkennesse spending the creatures of God upon your lusts drinking one to another and tempting one another wit Ale and Beere until you be overcome and so like Swine wallowing in the Lusts of Uncleannesse you bear the Image of your Father the Devil whose children and servants you are while you continue in your sins and filthinesse you are of the cursed Generation and wo and misery is your portion Wo wo to all the Inhabitants of the earth the Devil is come down amongst you and he rageth and swells because he hath but a short time The day draweth nigh it hasteth greatly wherein every one of your works must be tried by fire and the Devil together with the false
will testifie against you and be your condemnation and your faith is vain who are yet in your sins Therefore repent and turn from your wickedness cease to do evil and learn to do well draw near unto God and he will draw near unto you put away lying and swearing and all prophaneness let no corrupt speeches proceed out of your mouthes and hearken to the voice of Christ that your souls may live spend not your money for that which is not bread nor your labor for that which doth not satisfie But hearken with diligence to hear the voice of the beloved Son of God who saith Learn of me I am meek and lowly in Spirit and you shall finde rest to your souls and that is it in you all which reproves for sin and checks you when you do amiss when no mortal eye sees you minde this well and wait to be guided by it and it will lead you out of sin and evil up to God the Father to have Unity with him and with his Son and so to bring forth fruits of the Spirit love joy peace gentleness meekness soberness brotherly kindness forbearing and forgiving one another And this will be a present guid unto you if you love it and bring your deeds to it to be tryed by it at all times and in all companies to lead you to God if sinners entice you consent not to them but fear the Lord and stand in awe and sin not But if you hate this Light and live in your sins and your old vain ungodly conversation this Light will be your condemnation Now while you have time prize it and work while it is day lest the dreadful night of darkness come upon you when none can work Awake awake and arise from the dead prepare your selves and make ready for the Kingdom of God is at hand Come out of Babylon partake not of her sins lest ye partake of her plagues and wait upon the Lord that you may eat of the Bread of Life which satisfies the Soul ALl you that are breathing after God who are Hungring and Thirsting after righteousness which have long been wandring upon the mountains as sheep without a shepherd who have long been seeking after God but have not sound him and have many years been hearers and learners and have spent much money and labor and much precious time but have sound no satisfaction nor refreshment to your hungry thirsting souls but still there is a cry within for want of a Savior something in your consciences cries and is not satisfied notwithstanding your many years professing and talking of God and Christ and your running after this man and that man to hear Sermons as they are called yet still you are in your sins and your own old vain ungodly conversation and crooked and perverse rebellious and disobedient nature upon which the wrath of God abides and so there is no true peace joy nor rest to your souls I say unto all such simple hearts who have been tossed to and fro many years with the windy doctrines of men but have not found peace return home to your Fathers house seed no longer amongst the swine upon the husks you cannot fill your belly there but come into my Fathers house for there is bread enough Seek not the living among the dead but awake awake all you that sleep and arise from the dead that Christ may give you light turn your mindes inward and seek the last groat in your own house for the Lord is near yea doubtless Friends the Lord is very nigh for in him we live and move and have our being For it is he that gives to all life and breath and all things and out of his love to fallen man-kinde hath given his onely begotten Son for a Covenant of Light into the World who doth enlighten every one that cometh into the World that all men through him might believe There is that light in every one of your consciences which if you love it will teach you continually and lead you out of sin and unrighteousness into purity and holiness to worship the living God in spirit and in truth and so to be taught of him in spirit according to his promise I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and my sons and my daughters shall Prophesie and I will make a new Covenant with them I will write my law in their hearts and put my spirit into their into their inward parts and they shall no more teach every one his Neighbor and Brother saying Know the Lord for all shall know me from the least to the greatest and I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember â—o more and this is the Lord fulfilling in our day praises to his Name for evermore he is gathering his scattered sheep together where they have been scat cred abroad in this cloudy dark day and is bringing them into the Fold and there shall be one Sheepsold and one Shepheard this is the promise of the Father which he is now bringing to pass establishing his own Kingdom in Righteousness and uniting and joyning his people together that they may all be of one heart and mind that they may with one voice and one consent glorifie and praise him in the Covenant of his Son which he is now leading his people into where no sin enters but is all shut out of the Kingdom and Covenant of the righteous God Therefore all people every where prize this precious time which the Lord doth give unto you and trifle it not away in vanity and vain delights but hearken to that which is pure which convinces and reproves for sin in your consciences and makes manifest the evil of your hearts that is The pure light of Christ which did never consent unto sin but stood against you witnessing for God against sin though never so secretly committed This is the eye which a long time hath been vailed and blinded by the God of the World but now is the Lord unvailing and uncovering and stripping of all the stollen garments which the Serpent hath painted and decked himself withal and the Devil can no longer hide himself but by the light of Jesus Christ shining in the conscience he is found out in all his Wiles and Temptations whereby he goes about to ensnare and deceive the innocent For as long as the Devil can keep people from owning this light he can lodge in the heart and work his works in the heart but when ever they come to own and walk in the light he cannot work but by the light his works is seen and by the power and life of Christ within the Devils works are destroyed and the heart purifyed and the conscience purged from dead works and so the body is made a Temple of God which Temple is holy and if any man defile the Temple of God him shall God destroy Therefore all people who love your souls come out of your sins which doth defile you and separate you from God and breaks your peace with God and love and walk in the light of Christ and bring your deeds to it For every one that doth truth he loves the light and bringeth his deeds to the light that they may be proved and tryed whether or no they be wrought in God and in the light you will have union and fellowship one with another and the Blood of Christ will cleanse you from all sin walking in the light for this light is pure and but one and leads to purity and oneness out of all Divisions Strife and Contention and from all the changeable Priests and changeable Doctrines and changeable Worships and changeable Laws that stands in the will of Man in the fallen Wisdom and will lead you unto Jesus Christ the unchangeable Priest the alone Teacher of his People who teacheth all his freely by his free spirit and leads them out of Death and dead Works into the pure way and path of life that they may bring forth fruit unto God and blessed are all they that fear the Lord and walk in his way But the wicked must be turned into Hell and all the Nations that forget God therefore let every one that nameth the Name of JESUS CHRIST depart from iniquity From a lover of your Souls but a witness against all Sin A.
