as if they had been of them but never came to sink down to the heart searching light of Christ Jesus in them that by it they might be cleansed from all secret and open sins from every Dalilah that lodgeth in the bosom as pride and covetousness which often the one attends the other covetousness saith the servant of the Lord is the root of all evil and advised them to fly from it but who abide not in the spirit of judgment and of burning which God hath prepared to purge away the filth of the daughter of Sion their filth hath not been purged or done away which causeth many miscarriages blots and stains and great reflections have such brought upon the blessed truth and much dirt hath been thrown on the pure holy and undefiled way of the Lord which he hath cast up for the ransomed to walk in and so through the unfaithfulness and uneven walking of such the name of the Lord hath been greatly dishonoured his spirit grieved and the hearts of the righteous made sad And many a wounded soul there is among the Lord's people who are bowed under these weights and pressures but assuredly the day hastens that every one must bear their own burden and the Lord will ease his innocent ones who have been bowed down before him and have mourned and groaned under these things yea the day hastens that the unfaithful and disobedient shall bear their own burdens And the Lord will arise for his own name and glory sake and will ease him of his enemies and avenge him of his adversaries and take to himself his great power that he may reign and rule in the hearts of his that faithfully labour in his work and order their conversations aright before him His glory shall rest upon them for he will not give it to another seed or birth but to Christ Jesus the seed of the woman who was given to bruise the serpent's head he hath born the iniquities of all and been pressed under them as a cart with sheaves his face hath been more marred than any man's and his voice not heard in the streets no beauty nor comliness seen in him and because he hath been a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief therefore hath he been passed by and not regarded but the Lord will make him the joy of many generations and his Sion the praise of the whole earth Therefore dear friends love him with all your souls and be you delighted in him above all enjoyments whatever that you may lie down in the bosom of his love and be nourished by his side as children of our heavenly Father begotten by the immortal word of life to live and reign here in it and when time shall be no more enter into that blessed rest prepared for all those that have obeyed his glorious gospel and though as yet we be but as the gleaning of the vintage yet the Lord hath many to gather yea the numberless number shall be gathered and great will be the work of our God which he is bringing to pass in this his blessed day it cannot be declared as it is seen and felt in the spirit So friends be faithful in the work of your day be valiant for the Lord and his blessed truth come up in the nobility of his life and stand faithful witnesses for him for we are the city set upon a hill yea battle axes in God's hand though our weapons are not carnal but spiritual and mighty through the power of God to the pulling down the strong holds of sin and satan Friends we are they whom the Lord hath raised to hold forth Christ Jesus whom he hath given for an ensign to the nations unto whom all the ends of the earth must come for salvation So dear friends let your light shine forth before men that they may see your good works and glorify your heavenly Father so that by your godly life and holy conversation many may enquire the way to Sion All friends be faithful and keep your meetings in the fear of the Lord be diligent in his work for the woe and curse belongs to them that do the Lord's work negligently or with careless minds and it is come on some already and will come more upon others if by speedy repentance they return not unto the Lord. So be zealous for the Lord and his truth and as much as in you lies gather orderly together as near the time as possible that the meeting is appointed at for disorderly coming hath been a hurt and burdened the faithful who dare not be negligent in the Lord's work and often they have waited a considerable season and God's power hath been felt and the manifold grace of God been dispensed among us and then others come in and miss of the counsels admonitions and refreshments which the Lord by the operation of his blessed spirit hands forth to his people and so for want of zeal in coming duly to meeting especially on the week days truth hath not grown in them but such have long travelled in the wilderness and many carcases fallen there and so for want of zeal and faithfulness the enemy hath crept in and darkened many minds where once there was tender good desires raised after God. So all have need to be faithful and wait diligently every opportunity the Lord gives you to feel your strength renewed for in the world are many incumbrances and intanglements some on one hand and some on another to draw the mind from God and but one to draw it to him so there is great need of holy zeal and diligence in observeing the time to wait upon the Lord to feel your strength renewed to help through the many things and his power to strengthen and support that in your families and all your undertakings you may be a good savour to the Lord being guided by his wisdom to rule and order your children and servants and he will give authority to stand over every thing that is contrary to his witness And in the fear of the Lord I warn and exhort all parents not to wink or connive at any sin in your children as you tender their everlasting well being let no sin go unreproved or uncorrected but take the wise man's counsel who saith Folly is bound up in the heart of a child but the rod of correction must drive it out and he that corrects his child shall deliver his soul from death So friends train up your children in the blessed truth and fear of the Lord so may you have hope they will not depart from it when they are old And take heed of giving way or suffering them to get into pride and the vain and foolish fashions which are a shame to sober people and a great inlet to many evils for they are prone to that by nature and it may soon be set up but hard to get it down So friends keep the yoke upon that nature that is proud stubborn or disobedient to parents
