People may be comforted that their day of deliverance draweth very near that so they may stand with boldness this day of great tryal not fearing what man can do unto them for the Lord hath shewed unto me the signs of the time in which we live and those Visions that were for an appointed time shewed unto the Prophets of the Lord Hab. 2.3 do now at last in this our day speak and not lye and though it tarryed yet we have waited for it and they are surely come and must stay no longer Now this I declare not unto you by only reading of the History without me hearing there that such things are to come to pass but I declare of what the Lord hath wrought of his Work within me And who ever judgeth of the times by no other thing than what he finds in the history without him or by what he may attain unto by the stars or by the face of the heavens without h●m such a one can never know the signs of the times but is one with the hypocritical Generation among whom he lives And as the unbelieving Jews who had the Prophesies of Christ's being born among them and the place where he should be born yet when he was born according to the writings they had they would not believe it was he but persecuted him and put him to death And as William Lilly in his Book Monarchy or no Monarchy had a clear sight by what he saw and read without him of the Lord's People that should arise in this Nation what manner of People they should be what they should do how they should Convert People which had been a thing but only talked of and how they should prosper and he not at all witnessing the thing he declared of within him but only what he saw by things without him I say when those people were brought forth according to what he had declared and in every thing agreeable in Life Conversation and Doctrine to what he had given forth yet this man as the unbelieving Jews would not believe when they were come that such were the people he had prophesied of but his Wife who minded the teaching of the Lord within her and giving heed unto that she could say of a truth when those people arose that they were the People of the Lord that her Husband had before declared of Now all dear Friends and People every where you may know that there was a time after Adam and Eve had transgressed the Righteous Law of God that the Lord in his love made a Promise unto them that the Seed of the Woman should break the Serpents head While man lives in sin and transgression this is not witnessed And so according to the Doctrine of the Priests of England who say contrary to the Scripture and Book of Common-Prayer that none shall ever be perfect or freed from committing sin while on this side of the grave and so denies this promise of the Lord in that the Seed of the Woman shall ever break the Serpents head and so would make God a lyar in not performing what he hath promised but this promise through the Lords love many at this day can witness and who witnesseth this their day of deliverance is come After Moses prophesied that the Lord should raise them a Prophet like unto him and him they should hear in all things And this Prophet is come and the Lords People hear him teaching in them and are made willing to be subject unto his Laws and Government And because they do so therefore the Kings of the earth and the Rulers they take counsel against the Lord and against his People and would have them do things contrary to the Law that this great Prophet who is come hath left them upon Record to observe and do and great penalties are laid upon them if they will not break his Righteous Law and if that person must be cut off that will not hear this Prophet what will be the portion of those Rulers that make Decrees and Laws to cause his Righteous Law to be broken and persecute those that keep his Law Consider these things and repent Ezekel 37. The Lord shewed him in a Vision the True Seed of Spiritual Israel which were represented by the dry bones which lay scattered in the open fields and lo he saw them to be very dry and the Lord said unto him Son of Man Can these bones live And the Prophet answered Lord thou knoweth O my dear Friends who lay with me in the open field and who the Lord sent his faithful Servants out of the North Countrey to prophesie upon us dry bones and they did as the Lord commanded them and said unto us Hear the Word of the Lord Thus saith the Lord unto these dry bones Behold I will cause breath to enter into you and ye shall live and I will lay sinews upon you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin and put breath into you that ye may live and ye shall know that I am the Lord. So the Lord's Prophets prophesied as he had commanded them and as they prophesied there was a noise and behold there was a shaking or trembling and at that time those that were not of the True Seed of Israel seeing us tremble and quake at the Word of the Lord they in scorn in that Day called us Quakers then as they continued prophesying upon us We dry bones came together bone to his bone This was the beginning of the Lord's Peoples Meetings and therefore we cannot but meet together as many as the Lord shall move to make up a body notwithstanding the Decrees of men would have us meet but to the Number of Four besides the Houshold and so would have us to be a weak and infirm body contrary to what the Lord hath joyned together to make up the body but we cannot say to the eye we have no need of thee nor to the hand we have no need of thee but every Member is to be useful and helpful in his place to the comfort of the body and since we have come to witness this prophesie fulfilled in us in this our day our God hath not only knit our bones together with sinews whereby we are strengthened one by another and his love is shed abroad in our hearts that makes flesh to grow and cover these bones but also he hath put his Spirit of Life into us whereby we come to feel and taste and handle of our God and that makes us live out of the pleasures customs fashions and traditions of this world and this Life that our God hath put into us makes us to stand upon our feet and we are become an exceeding great Army having neither Sword nor Spear but the Spirit of the Living God Now dear Friends many thousands of you you know are come with me hither therefore fear not for we are the people that this prophesie shall very shortly be fulfilled upon notwithstanding
