To the true Church of the first-born of the holy seed of God to shine in his glory as lights of the world to witnesse against their evil deeds in your faithful bearing his name in Righteousnesse where you are scattered ov●r the face of the earth amongst all Nations and People these with understanding read in the fear of God DEar Brethren and Sisters born of the birth of the Son of the morning of the everlasting day that is risen amongst you in the Northern Countries and sprang up ●o you in Barbadoes New-England Virginia Bermudoes and the Countries and Islands there awaies and elsewhere which the Lord hath visited in this day of mercy Oh! prize the Love of the Lord God who hath brought you to know the voice of the Son of the everlasting day to baptize and bury the mortal into death that he might raise up his immortal Child the birth of the morning in all your hearts to receive his heavenly vertue in the Resurrection of his Life to reign and have Dominion in his infinite strength to stand living witnesses of the name of the King of glory Let this infinite Love which he hath manifested in you constrain every one in particular to watch and pray that the birth of the morning of the mighty day in you all rule and reign in every heart to guide you in the light as he is in the Light that in the deep love in his Life you grow up together in the pure close union one with another in him that the birth of the night be trodden down in every one and be crucified upon the Crosse in your faithful obedience to the Lamb of God who in the light is come to crown you with his glory and cleanse you with his bloud and fill you with his innocency that in the onenesse in the holy birth you grow in eternal unity all as one in the measure of his life to follow the Lamb where-ever he goes and let no straitnesse be upon your Spirits nor any thing difficult in what you are called unto over all the wals of the fenced City of Babel you shall leap in the Authority of God and a top of all the mountains of opposition shall you skip as innocent Lambs and amongst all the Armies with their confused noise you shall run through them as the Angels of God yea now is the day that one in the authority of God shall chase a thousand and five put ten thousand to flight without a carnal weapon for the fiery flaming presence of the Lord goes before his birth for which sake the Lord is risen to smite the hearts of the Heathen with fear and to give to the mighty of the earth a cup of astonishment in vain it is for them to seek to save themselves that seek to destroy the birth of the day the decree is gone out against them and the arm of the Lord is stretched out according to his counsel which he wil never draw in till he hath caused his birth to reign and bring to nought all that resist his appearance you chosen generation feel the vertue of the Son of God in every one and abide in him let your vessels be filled with the comfort of his Life that you may tread upon every thought and every imagination that 's contrary to the Light and all take heed of being hasty at any time of uttering words before him Let his government be upon all your Spirits that you may have the infallible seal of his Spirit in all your exercise and in your meetings and all times feel the glory of his life crowning the holy birth with the joy of his Salvation and when he fills you with his overcoming vertue and moves you in the strength thereof be obedient quench not the Spirit and keep within the bounds of the Spirit that you may retain the salt and savour in yourselves and in all with whom you are that none strive further then the Lord leads and moves in his life and all feel the honourable babe in Dominion that makes self of no reputation and humbles self to the Crosse and is the least in its own eye whatever the Lord does with it and let the strong serve the weak and bear its burden and all feel the healing restoring Spirit in you all to improve every gift God gives you to the glory of the Lord and gather you into the life of truth that there be not found any serving themselves with the gifts of God and putting the jewels on the false birth which the Father gives to the true Child of his immortal seed I say in the word of the Lord let not such a thing be found with any for it grieves the Spirit of God let the true birth in you all the innocent Child reign over the son of the bond-woman so will you all be cloathed with the Kings garment in his Light and Life to walk in singlenesse of heart who will fill you with the beauty of his holinesse at all times which will make you run together in faithfulnesse who will fill your cups with the joy of his Salvation which will cause you with broken hearts and contrite Spirits offer up an acceptable Sacrifice on his holy Altar in his Sanctuary and the assembly of his holy people before whom all Nations shall fall and the people that know not God from the highest to the lowest shall be confounded to the ends of the earth and the scattered seed shall come out of the Nations with joy to behold the glory of the Lord in the mountain of his holinesse which he hath and is and will stablish a top of all the mountains of this world and all Nations shall flow unto it saying Come let us go unto the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob he will shew us his way and we will walk in his paths and the Law shall go out of Sion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem Righteousnesse shall run through the earth with a mighty stream and Babylon that hath shed the bloud of the Saints shall be thrown down before the glory of our God as a stone into the Sea and shall never rise again the mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken it You innocent Lambs and redeemed people of the Lord Jesus who hath passed through great tribulations and hath washed your garments and made them white in the bloud of the Lamb in the innocency of his life Rejoyce praise the Name of the King of Sion stand unmoveable upon his holy Mountain that you may sing the new song of the high praises of our God which none can learn but who are redeemed from the earth that in the Authority of his Life you may magnifie the Name of the Lord for ever the presence of the Lord God lead you with his out stretched arm to the perfecting of his praise over all in his Dominion Amen W.
