A66861	The rock of ages known, and foundation of many generations discovered after this long and dark night of apostacy, which shall never cover us again, because of the anointing, and though darkness may cover the nation, and gross darkness the people a little season, yet the Lord shall be unto his people and everlasting light, and their God their glory : also a prayer that the Lords people may be preserved to the end : also a few words to the King, and his council from the everlasting counsellor and Prince of Peace : also the Lords testimony against all persecutors of the innocent lambs of Christ, in whose light the nations of them that are saved must walk, and against all forms of worship whatsoever, taught by the precepts and commandments of men, which themselves are not led and guided by the spirit of the Lord : also a few words in answer to the last book of common-prayer / this is written in the fear of the Lord, and in the counsel of the everlasting counsellor, whose name is the Lord of Hosts, in Humphry Wolrich.	Wollrich, Humphry, 1633?-1707.	1661 (1661)	Wing W3298; ESTC R15328	12,166	18

up our heads that in all our sufferings we faint not but in our heart can forgive our Enemies and pray for them that know not what they do And Friends in your Morning-prayer you pray for the King that the Lord would set his watchful Providence as a continual fence about him to be his guide and Counsellor and never leave him which in the truth of my heart do I desire which the Lord most certainty will do if at the Spirit of the Lord he take counsel only and not at you who limit it in his Lambs and Children into whom he hath poured out of his Spirit according as it is written I will pour out my Spirit in the latter dayes upon my Servants and Handmaids and they shall prophesie this will I do unto them and not forsake them saith the Lord. And now Christ being come and his Spirit given which leadeth into all truth even the Word of the Oath Mark the Word of the Oath which was before and since the Law He saith Swear not at all and though Abraham Solomon and the Prophets which were not come to the end of it did Swear and them that did Swear in Judgment Truth and Righteousness the Oath was to them an end of all strife as saith the Apostle but Christ when he came which was greater than Solomon and was before Abraham he saith Swear not at all And though ye may read the Angel in the Revelation did swear that time should be no longer yet in a certain place is it written concerning the Son which saith Swear not at all When he bringeth his first-begotten into the world let the Angels of God worship him So whether they be Angels Thrones or Dominions Principalities or Powers things in Heaven or things in Earth they must all be subject to the Word of the Oath which was since the Law by whom and for whom all things in Heaven and Earth were made and created who is God eternal and King immortal that in all things he might have the preheminence who saith Swear not at all But this I say the Lord did never counsel King Charles the second nor never will to fill all the Prisons Holes and Dungeons in his Dominions with an Innocent People for these things As not for Swearing and observing Days and Times as Manasseh did who filled Jerusalem with innocent blood or as Jezebel did when Ahab stoned and took possession of the Vineyard of Naboth but it was the Enemy of the Lord and his People and the Council when the Quakers which are innocent as children newly born were numbred with Murderers It was no better than the Counsel of Ahithophel which the Lord turn into foolishness I say these were the Lords Enemies and to King Charles in the end will not prove Friends the Nation shall see and consider it diligently For the Nation knows yea our Enernies themselves will confess the Quakers will not fight or plot against any for Conscience sake towards God but after they have owned the Light Christ which is the Way and the Truth many have left the Army both private Soldiers and Commanders in so much that the Commanders some of them have said That if they should not fight th●●●ing of the Scots would soon come in and so by them were we persecuted as friends to you and not meet to live in a Commonwealth because with carnal weapons w could defend our selves no longer but their wisdom di the Lord confound and both them and their honour lies in the dust which durst not trust in the Lord but made flesh their Arm but we remain the same our Weapons the same not carnal and the Lord whom we serve the same and as able to deliver them that fear him as ever he was his hand is not shortned nor grown weak but he is the same and his years fail not and to his People is he the same and changeth not ant therefore the Son of Sion and Daughters of Jerusalem are not consumed whose hope is in the Name of the Lord and not in Sword or Spear And though the Prisons in London and all over the Nation be filled that we can scarce lie one by another two hundred and fifty in Newgate men their wives and children yet dare we not Swear nor observe Dayes Christ having commanded the contrary unto vvhom vve do commit our Righteous Cause and the keeping both of our souls bodies and families vvhich ye are vvasting and endeavouring to destroy without a cause who is the Prince of Peace and ends the old Covenant and puts an end to Swearing observing of Dayes Times and Seasons and brings in to the Rest that remains and was with and in God before either Dayes Times or Seasons were commanded to be observed But man being gone into the Darkness out of the eternal and everlasting Day out of the Life Power and Vertue that made him and was inwardly ravened from the Spirit and altogether restless and unstable as waters that fail knowing not a rest in him that made him alwayes to keep holy day and with himself at all times to be satisfied with peace rest and all manner of unutterable felicity as it is written Eye hath not seen nor ear-beard neither hath it entred into the heart of man in that state to conceive of the glory that is prepared for them that love him O the infinite endless eternal depths of love past finding our which Paul was come into in Christ the beginning and the end of Dayes New-moons and Sabbaths and all such things which he calls Carnal Ordinances and mad● nothing perfect being imposed untill the time of Reform●●●on and no longer till Christ the better hope comes who saith Old things are done away all thinge are become new Blessed is he that reads and understands for the time is at hand the Spirit and the Bride saith Come even so saith my Soul Come Lord Jesus come quickly Take unto Thee thy Great Power and Reign in the midst of thy Enemies THE END Let this be sent to all Magistrates and Bishops by Friends as moved
