admire the Love of God in my Heart when I have been sensible how he hath condescended in reaching unto the Capacity of several of the Children whom I have really felt to be reached and blessedly tendered by the Power of an Endless Life Yea and the Lords Glory hath shined and doth many times shine amongst us so that sometimes it hath been in my Heart That the Lord hath begun to build up his Sion among us as to the Educating of Children for we can say to his Praise and Everlasting Glory That he hath done more in a short time for some Children here than ever any Teacher could be able to do Glory be to his Name who is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and of their Seed for he is known to be the God of his People in this Day who are in the Faith of Abraham and of their Children also as they walk in his heavenly Way which he hath again revealed in this his glorious holy Day O! the riches of his Love and the infinitness of his Kindness towards all the Sons of men but more especially towards them whom he hath gathered into the knowledge of his ever-blessed Truth and in whom he hath revealed his Son who are his Witnesses on the Earth whom he hath loved with a singular Love in his Son Christ Jesus and given him unto them to be their Leader and Commander and not only so but he hath begun to visit many of their Children in their Young and Tender Years which cannot but be unspeakable Joy unto all Upright-hearted Parents to see and feel their Children visited with the same holy Arm of Power wherewith they were visited when they were gone far astray from the Lord which to feel in themselves is now their chiefest Joy How much more then will their joy abound to fell it operate in their Children while they are Young and Tender And now for the Encouragement of all who rejoyce to hear of the Prosperity of God's Eternal Truth I do testifie for the Lord and to the Praise of his great Name That the Lord our God hath not withdrawn the Sense of his Power and Heavenly Presence as to the General from us in this Family but at all times many of us are sensible as we are retired in our Minds that the Lords Love is towards us and we do alwayes feel his Power in our Meetings whereby our Souls are refreshed and we are thereby confirmed from time to time and in the Faith and Belief of the Prosperity of the Lords Work which he hath begun amongst us For notwithstanding that the Enemy may work at times in some of the Children to draw their Minds into Wildness and Disorder yet the Lords Power is over all and that contrary Spirit is much chain'd and kept down by the Revelation of Gods Heavenly Power whereby a Remnant are kept in a blessed Measure since the first time that they were thorowly reached thereby and do grow in Weightiness daily and in the experience of the work of Truth in their Hearts which is indeed great cause of joy unto all those of the Lords People who are concerned in them And so that the Lord God of Heaven and Earth may carry on this his Glorious Work among the Children and Off-spring of his People not only in this Nation but in all Nations and Islands where he hath gathered them is the Desire and earnest Breathing of my Soul From one who travails for the Prosperity of God's Truth in the Earth and at present is exercised among the Children in the School of Waltham-Abby Alexander Seaton Written the 17th of the 11th Mon. 1679. OH my Dearly Beloved Friends when I was alone and my Mind exercised in the Truth this Cry came thorow me That the Lord hath heard our Cryes and hath bottled up our Tears and hath answered our Desires in a Blessing upon the Children and hath broken the Wills of many that they fear before him and now is he fulfilling his Promise and that blessed Saying That Righteousness shall Cover the Earth as Waters the Seas that is all over for verily it cannot be said all over except Young as well as Old come to know the Lord. And this is my Testimony That the Time is at hand for a blessed Day have we seen of the Lords pouring forth of his Spirit upon Young and Tender Children that they may know him and fear before him And I can say of a Truth That we have of our Family Children that truly fear the Lord and do truly hunger after Righteousness O! how doth the Lord appear to us in our Family Meetings that we are overcome with his wonderful Presence and our Childrens Hearts broken before him that they cannot contain from Praising his holy Name His Glory doth so arise upon us that our Meetings are indeed to Admiration The Lord doth so follow us from Day to Day and from Meeting to Meeting as our dear Friends can witness with us holy Praises saith my Soul be to our God forever Do we not read in the Scriptures of Truth That Children in the dayes of Old have Blasphemed the Name of the Lord Scoffed at his People and Servants and were Cursed forever But now blessed be his Name he is appearing in his Love and Mercy unto Children that he may Bless them forever Ah! what the Lord hath done a few Moneths and Weeks past that the like hath scarce been heard of in many Ages or Generations amongst Children My Soul desires that the Sense of it may ever remain amongst us for we can never be able to speak it forth how Unutterable indeed are his Mercies unto us and his Wayes past finding out Oh! the Sense of this overcomes me that all within me is constrained to praise the Lord and magnifie his holy Name for he is Worthy Worthy Worthy saith my Soul O! how hath he broken in amongst us in our Meetings like a mighty Man of War that nothing hath been able to stand against him but we have fallen down before him with Praises and sweet Melody in our Mouthes that sometimes we could scarce know how to depart to go to our Natural Rest And when we have been in our Beds sometimes our Eyes could take no Rest for several Hours we have so admired the Lord's doings with us The Lord hath Determined That this His Blessed Work in this His Day shall be a President to the Ends of the Earth that the Generations to come may Magnifie his Holy Name who lives forevermore Written in the 11th Moneth 1679.
