and Salvation hath the Lord sent abroad plentifully in this Nation and you have received it and believed the report though many have rejected it unto their destruction whose Iudgement will be upon them but you haue tasted handled and felt of the Word of Eternal Life by which the Lord hath wounded you and healed you again and many hath he slain and made them alive even through his Word and Power which hath entred into many hearts which killeth the enmity and quickneth the Seed and which breaketh off from all the worlds fellowship both in Transgressions and Righteousness and makes all void all Covenants with Death and Hell and marryeth unto the Lamb and the marriage of the Lamb is come unto many even unto all in whom his innocent and heavenly nature is begotten and brought forth for this is of his flesh and of his bone and here is his wife that hath made her self ready and is prepared for the Bridegroom and blessed are ye if ye know these things and be witnesses of them even the marriage of the Lamb and the making ready of his Elected in you even the reviving and quickning of his flesh and of his bone for this is the Virgin unto whom he is joyned that hath put away all other lovers and loveth the Lord with all the heart and with all the Soul who is cloathed with perfect beauty and innocency and covered with Divine Righteousness in which there is no spot being delivered out of the wilderness and freed from her mourning state and is no more separated from her husband but she again quickened into Life and adorned with beauty and married to the Lamb to live with him for evermore Oh Friends wait upon the Lord that ye may possess these things for to know them and be in them is Everlasting Treasure and Riches the possession of them are Riches to the Poor Bread to the Hungry and Cloathing to the Naked and Life to the Dead And if ye know these things lay them up in your hearts as your most pretious Treasure and let none spoil you of it And if ye are married unto the Lamb then are you the True and onely Church even his Body and living Members of it for such onely are the True Church that are married to Christ and Vnited to him in his own nature and all such are false Churches and are even of the great Whore that hath taken upon them the name of Churches of Christ but were never lawfully married unto him and such are deceived and Deceivers of others with the very Name of Christ calling themselves by the Name of his Church while they are in the nature contrary to him nor they ever lawfully married unto him and this is the great Whore who commits lewdness through Nations in all false worships and Idolatrous practices and Ordinances and in her false Ministry and false Doctrines and she was set up in Nations by the force of cruel and violent Lawes and men and is upheld by Oppression and Injustice at this day and yet all this she doth under the Name of Holy Church and useth the Name of Christ as if she were his Wife and yet hath other Lovers and by such means hath this great Whore deceived the world But now the Day of the Lord is come upon her and the hour of her Iudgements is at hand and all that have taken pleasure with her shall mourn and bitterly lament because of her Judgements which cometh in a day but we are delivered from her Iudgements because the Lord hath called us from her abominations and we can no more drink her Cup of false doctrines and Practices all which are Idolatry and to be Judged of the Lord though she should drink our blood as she hath done the Saints before us But I say the Lord hath led us out of this Babylon He hath delivered us from this great City and made us Spiritually free from its abominations and Idolatries though not outwardly free from her oppressions and cruelties And though this great City hath Ruled over the Kings and great men of the earth and subjected many Nations through its wickedness and violence yet certainly its ruine is near to come Else my Hope is lost my Life is smitten and the Lord hath not spoken by me And the Lord will Reward this false woman this false Church that hath deceived the Nations even according to her deeds as she hath done to others so shall other 's do to her measure for measure and much more might we say concerning her but the Lord hath opened our eyes and we see her abominations and she cannot deceive us And this is the loving kindness of the Lord unto us for which he is worthy to be praised by us for evermore And in that ye have received the Truth and do know the Truth live in it and walk in it in all faithfulness and be not fearful and unbelieving as though the Lord were not with you though ye suffer much for his Names sake for he is not wanting unto that man that doth fear his Name and that walks in his Way but for the deliverance of all such will he appear he will free the oppressed and the afflicted people he will save even by his out-stretched Arm Wherefore let our eye be unto the Lord in all estates and conditions whether of sufferings or otherwise for from him Salvation cometh and not from the Mountains of the earth and keep your Meetings in your several places and be faithful in all things that your Consciences may be kept void of offences both towards God and men that no disobedience nor load of iniquity may be upon you but that in the sight of God you may feel clearness and freedom of Soul and Spirit from the burden of all transgression that you may know the Remission of all sin and all iniquity may be blotted out and no guilt of transgression may lye upon you but you may enjoy Peace in your Consciences in the Sanctification and Iustification of the new man and this is the heavenly Life even upon earth And when you are met together in the Name and Power of the Lord mind his presence amongst you for that is life and will make your Meetings profitable and full of Vertue to your Souls and the Lord will instruct you in all that which is good and Christ will be your Minister of Peace and Comfort and his Spirit will lead you into all Truth and by his Word even the speech of God in your hearts you will be quickned in Spirit and your strength and Peace in God will be renewed day by day and walk in all Wisdom and in the fear of the Lord one towards another and towards all people that your Righteous and innocent life and your Holy Wayes and Works of Truth may have Evidence in the hearts of your Enemies that you are of God by the shining forth of your light before them and that the Devil nor all your
