A78561	A tender salutation: or, loving epistle to such, who have a breathing in the innocent life of my friends with whom I walked in the outward observances. Also, for my relations (after the flesh) with all others professing God, and that have any breathings after the truth in the inward parts. Wherein something is declared in the power and light of God, concerning the sure foundation, and the house of God, with the inward glory, government, cloathing, feeding, non-superiority, and safety, that is in Gods habitation. With a word to the weak to establish them, that they faint not at the appearances of outward trouble for their consciences. - Whereunto is annexed a further discovery of God to my soul, concerning the spiritual temple, tabernacle and ark of Gods testimony, being the truth, life, and substance of the temple, tabernacle and ark of the testimony under the legal day. - To be read in the light, which discovers the things that be of God. -	Chandler, Jacob.	1664 (1664)	Wing C1927A; ESTC R227552	24,960	33

A Tender Salutation OR LOVING EPISTLE To such who have a breathing in the innocent life of my Friends with whom I walked in the outward observances ALSO For my Relations after the flesh with all others professing God and that have any breathings after the Truth in the inward parts WHEREIN Something is declared in the power and light of God concerning the sure Foundation and the House of God with the inward Glory Government Cloathing Feeding Non-superiority and Safety that is in Gods habitation WITH A word to the Weak to establish them that they faint not at the appearances of outward Trouble for their Consciences Whereunto is Annexed A Further discovery of God to my Soul concerning the spiritual Temple Tabernacle and Ark of Gods Testimony being the Truth Life and Substance of the Temple Tabernacle and Ark of the Testimony under the Legal day To be read in the light which discovers the things that be of God By Jacob Chandler That which we have seen and heard and felt declare we unto you that you might have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son Jesus Christ 1 Joh. 1.3 If our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolved we have a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens 2 Cor. 5.1 Printed in the Year M.DC.LXIV To all those that love the Lord Jesus in Power and Spirit of my Friends with whom I walked in the outward form As well my professing Relations after the flesh with all else unto whom these presents shall come that have any breathings after the precious Truth and life of God Grace Mercy and Peace be multiplied the everlasting love life and truth of God dwell richly in you c. DEar Friends it has been oft upon me to write unto you of the things appertaining to the Kingdom of God in Spirit and Truth But my flesh with the reasoning part withstood upon some considerations that now I 'le forbear But now after much striving of the Lord God of Power by his Spirit in my Soul I am overcome with the overcomings of the love of God to write unto you And this I find springing up in me to exhort you in tender bowels of love to look at the power light life and truth of God within in every one of ye in particular for Friends it s not the outward profession that will stand you in stead in the day of Tryal and in the day when all Secrets shall be made manifest nor approve you to God without the power and truth of God within And therefore Friends in the bowels of tender compassions let the evil minded think never so otherwise I am moved as before said to exhort you to look to your standing that you turn inward and see what foundation you are built on for Friends that which is not built on a good foundation will come to nothing if the foundation be rotten and corrupt you know whatsoever is built thereon suffers losse Therefore let every soul take heed how he build thereon for every mans works must be try'd Now if you build on the truth and power of God you build on a sure foundation but if you build on some other foundation viz. some outward observation of external performances outward gifts parts humane wisdom or the sayings of men though they may be good men c. Be it known unto you that its a false foundation its deceivable and the whole building will fall great and lamentable will be the fall thereof There is but one foundation for every poor soul that would be saved to build on and another foundation can no man lay than that which is already laid and that is Jesus Christ the power of God the wisdom and truth of God This is that ground and pillar of truth that saves to the utmost all that come unto it and build on it Therefore Friends mind whether you have built on this foundation whether the truth power and Spirit of God be the thing that you mind the foundation that you build on How to come to the foundation and build thereon and how to know in the light of God when the soul has built on the sure foundation THere must be a digging deep to build on this foundation it s not so easie as many Professors think of thou must dig down into thy innermost parts into the secrets of thy soul deep yea very deep into humility must thou sink and resign up freely and must be content to be nothing in thy will wisdom understanding c. Oh soul before thou canst find the foundation the Rock to build on and in the deep thou maist find it for 't is hid from the carnal wise man by all his wisdom he cannot search it out and all his notional knowledge though he may speak much of the foundation is too short to fathom it And now Friends if you are built on this foundation this Rock then you are immovable and cannot be shaken away from the confidence that you have springing up from hence and you are sure and stedfast and you walk in the pure fear of the Lord and you are of tender bowels and full of compassion to all the Lords little ones and you are of a meek spirit and lowly in heart and you are of tender compassion to all the Creation of God you are weak with the weak and bear a dear sympathy with the afflicted precious sons and daughters of Sion let them be under what name and notion soever if thou seest they are built on the power life and truth of God by which they breath after the everlasting well-springs of life the fountain of eternal love thou hast a principle in thee if thou art upon the sure foundation that is stirred up with an endearednesse to such a breathing soul after the pure life of God for my Friends if we have built on a good foundation then 't is certain we have a good building if we have a good Root we have a good Tree and if a good Tree there must be good fruit Now Friends by this you may come to know whether you are built upon the power life and truth of God or what foundation you are built on Let me lay it farther before you NOW if we have a good foundation we have a good building a good house and there is good order and government in this house and good dyet good meat and drink and choice cloathing and blessed safety and no Lordly or Majestick superiority over one another in this house or family that is built on the power and life of God with other good things Now that soul that hath built upon Christ the truth and power of God hath a good building a good house and it s none other but the house of God the Temple of God and God hath said I 'le dwell with you and walk in you and be your God c. And this every Saint is in particular the habitation
