in him blessed be his Name forever for he hath preserved us through many Troubles Tribulations and great Sufferings both within and without when men have heaped Sorrow upon Sorrow through the wrath of their Hearts if by any means they could have destroyed us but yet the Lord by his outstretched Arm hath preserved us that in the midst of my outward Troubles and Tribulations I can Bless Praise and Magnifie the Name of the Lord that he hath delivered my Soul out of the Bondage of Iniquity and out of the Snares of Death and counted me with my Brethren and Sisters worthy to suffer for the Testimony of his Name it s more precious to my Soul then the increase of Corn Wine or Oyl or any visible thing that is upon the Earth So in the openings of Gods Spirit of Love was I constrained to warn you to consider what you have done and how ye will answer the Lord when he comes to take an account of you for the deeds that you have done in the Body that he did Frame and Make for himself for a Temple to dwell in and by your wicked Inventions you have defiled it and in it have lodged the Power of Satan So in the Spirit of Meekness do I intreat you that you may come to wait to feel the Power of God which is an unlimited Power to over-power all the Powers of Satan which is limited and ever was and he can go no further then the Lord suffers him so that all our Tryals and Tribulations that we have gone through or may go through are but light unto us in comparison of Gods Love that he hath revealed unto us and made us sharers of yea many Thousands of Sons and Daughters So in this free Grace that God hath made my Soul a Witness of I desire to stand a Witness for him forever over Sin Death and all the Powers of Satan and my Travail is that you may come to experience the work of the Lord in you Dear People its my Cry that your understandings may be opened that ye may hearken unto the Voice of the Lord which Cries in the secret parts of the heart for Holiness Then will Sin be put to an end in you and you will take no delight in it nor you will have no Pleasure to have Iniquity to lodge within your hearts For I can truly declare unto you that the Lord hath no pleasure in them that are working Wickedness and drinking up Iniquity as the Ox drinketh up Water Oh my Soul my Soul cries unto the Lord that ye might return unto him before the Day of Calamity and Sorrow come upon you For if you will not hearken nor regard its certain it will overtake you and then will you say if ye repent not that you had warning given time after Time and would not take it Therefore whether you will hear or forbear I have answered the Lords Requirings and in my obedience I have Peace which I prefer above all outward Injoyments And I am bold to declare unto you this day the Lord knows I lye not that I could neither eat nor take my natural rest but was oppressed and my Tears were not a few for my Soul mourned within me until I was given up in obedience to the Lord God to signifie unto you what he had revealed unto my Soul Therefore whether you will hear or forbear as I have said unto you the Lord hath eased my Spirit in some measure and in his Will I lie down whatsoever he is pleased to suffer man to inflict upon me I desire to be found in his service for evermore From one who is a well-wisher of all men and desires the prosperity of all Souls who am a Prisoner at York-Castle for the Testimony of Jesus this 17. day of the 10. Moneth in the Year 1684. Isabel Wails POSTSCRIPT O Ye People of Leeds who have persecuted the Lords Servants and imprisoned the Innocent without a cause For your sakes am I ma●e to mourn in secret and my Spirit is troubled within me when I consider the Calamity that is coming upon you and which will certainly overtake you except you speedily Repent A Day of Distress and great Lamentation A Day of Darkness and Gloominess A Day of Misery and of the Shadow of Death is coming upon you in which although you call the Lord will not hear yea though ye cry aloud he will not regard it because when he called unto you ye would not hear and when he waited to be gracious warning you again and again to Repent yet ye regarded it not but set at nought his Counsel and made a scorn of them by whom he warned you and despised all his Reproofs Oh! consider of this ye Inhabitants of Leeds whilst yet you have a day or time you who have had a hand in persecuting the Innocent who have done no harm to any of you and that have had no regard either to Old or Young Rich nor Poor Fatherless nor Widdows but have sent or haled of all sorts to Prison without respect to Age or Sex even some great with Child Oh! have ye not despised and afflicted the Aged and Gray-Hairs whom the Lord hath honoured and the Poor which he regarded And as for the Sick have ye not turned your backs on them whose Groans have been heard in your Ears O! do you not think that the Lord sees and takes notice of these things and that all your Hard-heartedness Cruelty and Oppression are written down in his Book Yes certainly the Lord of Hosts both s●es and takes notice of them and in due time will assuredly visit for the same and be avenged on his Adversaries recompencing a Reward upon them according to their deeds for it is he that hath called us and given us to bear Witness of him and his Name and Truth upon the Earth and are made willing to wait on him and to be subject to him in obedience to his requirings yea though it be to the hazard of Liberty Life and Estate for he hath not spared to shed his precious Blood for us that he might Redeem us from all Iniquity that we might be a peculiar People to him Therefore he is precious to us yea as a Pearl of great Price and this day we cannot but remember him honour him and fear his Name and we durst not deny him nor his Truth before men who hath plucked us as Brands out of the Fire and hath raised us up who were dead in Trespasses and in Sins as well as others and hath caused us this day to Testifie of him who is God forever and changeth not who will have pity on them that fear him and trust in his Name when all the Wicked and Ungodly shall perish from his pr●sence and from off the Face of the Earth The Day hastens yea the day hastens that Gods fierce Wrath and Indignation will be poured out upon the Stiff-necked and Rebellious Generation and upon all such as will not hearken unto but reject his Counsel which by his Spirit he hath and is giving unto the Sons and Daughters of Men Therefore Repent Repent lest Salvation be hid from your Eyes From a Sufferer for the Truth and Righteousness sake known to many of you by the Name of Isabel Wails THE END
