Parents and your education is in the Truth and you need not be so circumspect you are b●● young and that there is time enough for you● trouble your selves or your minds with thing of Divine nature and that there are many may live well and dye well and yet short of you● profe●sion but believe him not he is a lye from the beginning be not deceived God w● not be mocked such as you sowe such will yo● reape for there is need for you to feell Chri●● Jesus for your selves in your own bosom working redemption for you and clensing aw●● your sin for it is said Though Israell be many as ●e Sands on the Sea shore yet it is but a remnant ●hereof that shall be saved and though many were ●alled yet are they but few that are chosen And ●ou are sure to dye and you know not whether ●ooner or later and it is also upon Record As ●he Tree falleth so it lyeth As Death leaves Judgment findes and no unclean thing can enter the Kingdom and if the righteous scarvely be saved where shall the ungodly and sinners appear And therefore dear hearts endeavour and that right early to work out your salvation with fear and trembling strive to make your Calling and Ellection sure that when your Earthly Tabernacle is desolved you may have a building with God an house not made with hands eternall in the heavens keep on your spiritual progress in the straight way of selfe denyall I well remember that in my young years before I came amongst Friends I was one that was not adicted to many evils as some were but in a Zeal for righteouness beyond many of my equals I read much and thereby gained a great knowledge of the Scripture litterally and therefore thought my self more secure and safer then others and was puffed up therewith gloryed therein but when it pleased the almighty to open the eye of my understanding I saw it was nothing but Egypts glory and my own righteousness which was but as filthy raggs and menstrous cloathes and my knowledge to be consumed and I to become a fool that might be wise then I waxed weary of Egyp● glory and refused to be a Child to Pharoah'● Daughter chusing rather to suffer affliction● with the People of God then to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season and all things beca●● to me as dross and dung in comparison of 〈◊〉 excellency of the glory that was opened in t●● veiw of my mind But when I turned my bac● of Egypt and sett my face Sion ward and travelling thither Oh the many weary stepps 〈◊〉 trode and the many solitary teares I shed a●● the many sighs and groans I uttered for wanto● full assurance of my salvation Oh the man● buffetting of the enemy my soul met with th● Combets I under went and the many Baits an● snares that were laid for me and the ma●● temptations that did attend me many wayes made me sometimes in sorrow say shall not surely one day fall by the hand of t●● enemy for Satan desired to have me an● to winnow me as wheat but the voice of my Saviour said in me I have prayed for thee that thy faith faile not and the Lord give me a little comfort yea a little hope though it was but as a lightning that shined in a dark place And the Lord helped me with a little help in a a needfull time and appeared in my soul though but as a warfairing man that turned in for a night and made not his aboad in me yet this was my e●●●●ragement and the com●●t of a little r●mnant that travelled with me ●●rough the ex●rcise the Lord brought us into ●●ilst he was known as refiners fire and as the ●llers ●ope washing away the filth of the daugh●●s of Sion refineing their dross and takeing ●●ay their Tinn that they might be as pure ●●d seaven times tryed in the fire to come forth ●●re and clean And therefore Dear hearts resign freely into ●●e hands of the liveing God and bear his in●●gnation because you have sinned against him ●●d say with that good man of old though thou ●ll me yet will I trust in thee and despise not the ●●stiseing of the Lord And faint not when you ●●e rebuked of him and submitt willingly to ●●e stroake of his hand that he way square you ●●en as hewen stones Ellect and pretious fit 〈◊〉 lye in his Building and that by your faith●●llness and obediance you may become as ●●llers in his House and take heed of the spirit 〈◊〉 this World and do not intermix with it for you do it will draw you from your spiri●●all travel and give you liberty to take delight 〈◊〉 the vain pleasures therein and let loose your ●esires after the honour and riches thereof But ●onsider the lot of him that coveted the wedge 〈◊〉 Goldand the Babilonish Garment and de●●re you above all a portion of the Spirit of the ●ord for some may covet Riches and honnor and may attain to it yet it is an uncertain gai● and if injoyed is attended with trouble an● discontent and on a suddain fade away an● come to an end but set your affections on heavenly things and with the wise Merchant ma●● dig for the pearl that is of great price and pa●● with all for the purchase of it so will you ha●● heavenly treasure in your earthly vessells wher● the M●th corrupteth not nor the Thief break●● thro●gh to steal and that is certain and fades 〈◊〉 away and in the injoyment of it is the tru● comfort and great delight though I am not against an honest care and right endeavours fo●● needfull things relateing to this life but do encourage it for in my youth I had my share 〈◊〉 the outward concerns of this world and I sough● the Lord with tears to help me with counse●● and assistance in the Managment thereof ye● with supplications was I powerd forth befor● him in that Concern and the Lord assisted me● to my often refreshment yet a voice I hear● within me saying first and principally seek th● kingdom of heaven and the righteousness thereof and other things shall be added unto th●● then I saw that the earthly things were to b● kept in their place and the heavenly things hav● the first and supreame place in me and livei●● praises to his Name for ever who never said t● the house of ●acob seek my face in vain for he 〈◊〉 found

was opened to me to ●now in measure the misteries of his heavenly ●ingdom and to partake of Spiritual pleasure ●●d Heavenly felicity beyond what ever I ●●ought upon or could have expected and of ●●e earthly things I had no want and though 〈◊〉 pleased the Lord in the morning of
