Two General Epistles To the Flock of God where-ever they are dispersed on the Face of the Earth who are gathered and separated from the World and its Wayes and VVorships to bear Testimony for the Lord God against the Deceit and Deceivableness which the VVorships of the VVorld have lain in in the dark Night of Apostacy ALSO Pure CONSOLATION and COMFORT proclaimed from the Spirit of Life to the faithful Followers of the Lamb in this day of his Controversie with the Beast who now sore rageth to see the Lamb his followers prevail and overcome through their Patience and Suffering whilst the Beast in his Instruments is as pricking Briars and grievous Thorns unto them which they shall not alwayes be With an Admonition unto all who are not wholly Redeemed out of the Earth Written by M. F. and I. P. And there shall be no more a pricking Briar unto the house of Israel nor any grieving Thorn of all that are round about them that despised them and they shall know that I am the Lord God Thus saith the Lord God When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the People among whom they are scattered and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the Heathen then shall they dwell in their Land that I have given to my servant Iacob and they shall dwell safely therein and shall build Houses and plant Vineyards yea they shall dwell with confidence when I have executed Iudgments upon all those that despise them round about them and they shall know that I am the Lord their God Ezek. 28.24 25 26. Printed at London in the Year 1664. An Epistle to the Flock of God where-ever they are dispersed on the Earth where this may come who is called and gathered and separated from the World and their Wayes and Worships to bear Testimony for the Lord God against their Deceit and Deceivableness which all the Worships of the World have lain in in the dark Night of Apostacy MY dearly beloved Friends and Brethren in the Everlasting Unity and Fellowship of the Gospel of Peace which is glad-tydings to all that shall receive it and which hath been glad-tydings unto you who have received it of which Gospel not any one need be ashamed for it is the Power of God unto Salvation unto every one that believeth In the Unity of this Faith and Fellowship of this Gospel do I write unto you as unto dear and near Members of this Body whereof Christ Jesus is the Head and hath given himself for it that he might make it a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle who is ascended far above all Heavens and is glorified with the Father before the World began and hath all power both in Heaven and Earth committed unto him and who hath trodden down Principalities and Powers and Angels and Authorities are subject unto him so that none of you need to fear what men can do who receive their breath and being from the Lord of Heaven and Earth who hath all their hearts in his hand and can turn them at his pleasure O my dearly beloved Friends stand fast in that Liberty wherein Christ Jesus hath made you free and beware of being intangled again into bondage Oh is it not Liberty unto you to be free from under the yoke of Oppressors and to be from having your Consciences bound under the wills of men and to be freed from having your Consciences subject to the beggarly Rudiments and carnal Ordinances set up by men and established by mens Laws contrary to the Law of God and contrary to Christ and his Apostles witnessed forth in the Scriptures and also contrary to the Light of Christ the Witness of God in your own Consciences O prize this Liberty which the Lord Jesus Christ hath manifested unto you and prize the blessed Visitation of the Lord's Love in making known unto you his Way and Truth and opening unto you that which hath been shut in the Night of Apostacy the Revelation of Jesus being made manifest in your Consciences and the Law of the New Covenant being written in your Hearts which you have read in which Law Testimony and Book hath been sealed in the dark night of Apostacy and hath been hidden from Generations past but hath been revealed unto you by his Spirit Glory to the Lord for ever O prize this matchless Love which is precious Liberty indeed the whole Creation hath long groaned under the burden of Oppression Corruption the Redemption out of which is through the Obedience of the Spirit of God who are guided by his Spirit are his Sons and the redemption of the Body is through the Adoption in the Spirit whereby every member may call God Father for the Church is in God and he is the Father of it And so you that abide in the Spirit and are gathered in the Spirit and drink together into the Spirit and are baptized into it here you are in the precious Liberty of the Children of God and are taught of him and are established in his Truth and Righteousness and the Lord is your Shepherd and Christ is the everlasting High-Priest of your Profession and the Bishop of your Souls and so becomes your Leader Guider and Ruler and so the Lord is your King and Law-giver and your Iudge and so here is glorious and precious Liberty You that come hither to be ordered and governed under the power and dominion of Christ and to be translated into the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ from under the power and kingdom of Antichrist this is precious indeed and what if this be obtained through some Sufferings Hardships and Tryals how should it be otherwise since that the Gentiles exercise Lordship one over another how should Babylon part with her Children quietly It is not like but there should be Oppression and Warrs between these two Kingdoms the kingdom of Antichrist Darkness Oppression and Tyranny and the Kingdom of Christ which is Light Power Righteousness and Peace O consider Him that hath gone before you He thought it no robbery to be equal with God and yet made himself of no reputation but took upon him the place of a servant and in that humbled himself to the death of the Cross for which cause God gave him a Name better than every Name to which every knee must bow and every tongue confess Now if the same mind be in you you will think nothing too hard nor nothing too dear to give up for his Name-sake which every knee must bow unto and every tongue confess unto and so as you are gathered now into this Name bow unto this Name and confess unto this Name but bow to no other nor confess to no other before men lest Christ Jesus deny you before his Father which is in Heaven and you be found transgressors against him then will your condition be sad and your reward heavy and your spirit will come into bondage again which you will find more grievous than
