A Collection Of the Several BOOKS AND WRITINGS Given forth by that FAITHFUL SERVANT OF GOD and his PEOPLE GEORGE FOX the Younger LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson at the Sign of the Black-spread Eagle and Windmil in Martins Le Grand 1662. The EPISTLE to all true friendly READERS LEt the Works and Words of the Lord wrought in and spoken by and through his holy Servants be of everlasting Memory to all Ages and Generations to come that the Lord God which formed all Mankind may have glory in all the Works of his Hands even for ever and ever Surely Friends for sundry righteous Causes my Spirit could desire a Recordance of the ensuing Writings One in that they are the Fruits of the Labours of a Valiant Souldier yet Meek Follower of the Lamb of God who through Travels Trials and Exercises in divers manners in Faithfulness Boldness Courage and Undantedness Persevered in the Power of God Kept the Faith to the End and Finished his Course in that which the Lord Almighty accepts of and now Rests in Glory with the Lamb and his Troops of Angels which I signifie unto you as is sealed unto me by the Spirit of Life and Immortality Another is in that the Work it self to euery true understanding Heart may plainly appear to be of God In one respect by his Prophesies certain of which became fulfilled whilst yet he bore the Body about him in another respect by his plain pure clear candid and righteous dealing with all sorts without respect of persons to whom he directed his Sayings viz. Thunders to the Rocks and Mountains and Streams of sweet milk wine and honey to the Blessed Living Babes of the Blessed living God Yet not by this do I appear before any clear Eye as a person promoting a person in the seat of the hearts of People for alas the dust is already returned to earth again and the Spirit to God who gave it but though the Creature is fallen flatted and converted to its proper center I cannot but in remembrance of that Spirit which once bore it as its Tabernacle in that Vessel to walk and wade through many trials afflictions and sorrows for the seeds sake of its own Father since it s now entred into the Bosom of the Father as a Life lept out of a lump of clay I say I cannot but in a Recordance of it and in a Concordance with it even in the self same substance say though the Name of the Wicked shall rot yet let the Memory of the Righteous live let his day be as a blessedness in every eye and the testimony of his Life a rejoycing in the hearts of the upright Surely I need not study a Motto nor dive into Invention to fetch up an Inscription to be engraven on the Tombe since the Names of the Faithful are in the Book of God and their glory is in him for ever But this I may say to the livers and as yet remainers in the Power of the same testimony which he with others have held as a Pattern and Example to those which follow after to the end He that hath finished his Course in faithfulness hath this advantage of him that yet remaineth and hath his Testimony to finish viz. In that he is redeemed from all causualties which might happen by temptation or otherwise yea and from all possibilities of losing the Crown of immortal Life and Reward of the Kingdom of everlasting Glory and Joy being already possessed of the unchangable Inheritance even where causualties and temptations reach not the which causualties and temptations are incident in some respect or other to the pure upright and faithful whilst yet in the body of flesh or tabernacle of clay where it can be felt and senced And therefore to all such I say fear and dread the living God to the end of your days that in the same life you may all finish a testimony for God as he that is gone before you Yea again I say fear the same God whilst yet you bear a Testimony for him lest by any means you should fall from the Life of the Testimony and the last of your day become the least glorious unto you And I in the fear of my Father do live in the love to you which often breatheth forth my heart in the Spirit of supplication and prayer constraining me to put up requests to the Throne for you the which as the Spirit breaths is desired may also by you be done in the behalf of your Brother in the innocency of the Lamb J.
