part from leading and drawing the heart and mind into things below into created objects and into bondage to the cares of this life and troubles and cumbrances of this World which doth not profit but hinder to God-ward The Light is the girdle of the loyns of the mind of those that love it to gird up their hearts and minds unto God that in him their peace may be perfect The Light is a stop to those thoughts which are reproveable by it The Light is a bridle to the tongue and they that know it so to be dare not say in a self-will our tongues is our own and we will speak The Light ruleth over the souls and bodies of those that believe in love follow and obey it and teacheth and enableth such to yield their members servants of righteousness unto God even as they have when they were servants to sin yielded their members servants to unrighteousness and of iniquity unto iniquity The Light is the Author of the true and living Faith which giveth victory over the World and is a shield unto the Soul to fend off the fiery darts of the Devil and worketh by love to the purifying the heart The Light is the Author of the true hope which is an anchor unto the soul sure and stedfast and is held in a pure conscience void of offence towards God and man The Light is the Author of true patience long sufferance for bearance forgiveness and contentedness it teacheth to be patient in all trials tribulations troubles streights and difficulties and teacheth in all conditions to be contented and not to murmur against the Lord whatsoever he permitteth to come to pass The Light teacheth his children to love one another servently with a clean heart oh how good is God to Israel to them that are of a clean heart The Light teacheth to endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace The Light teacheth the Younger to yield and submit themselves to the Elder in the Lord and to hearken unto Counsel Instruction and Reproof he teacheth all his children to be subject one to another he cloathes them with humility adorneth them with meekness and beautifies them with lowliness of spirit The Light teacheth the Strongest to condescend to the Weakest and to serve the meanest in love to bear with the infirmities of the feeble to help and hold up the halting and to draw forward the backward with the cords of Love and to cast a garment over thy Brothers nakedness The Light in those that love it puts out the eye that watcheth for evil and condemneth that part that boasteth it self and rejoyceth at anothers fall and strengthens it self with prejudice against another through his failing which thing is as most abominable filth in the pure Eye of the Light The Light doth not countenance evil in any but judges and discovers it though hid under a profession of Truth The Light is like unto the Touch-stone that trys Silver from Tin it tryeth and discovereth the good from the bad it tryeth motions thoughts words works and spirits The Light is a Stone which God hath laid in Sion elect and precious which they that believe shall not be ashamed and unto those that believe he is very precious but unto them that believe not he is as a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence at whom the seeming wise Master-Builders have and do stumble and he whom the wise Professors of this Age and great Rabies and Learned Orators set at nought the same is become the Head and Chief Corner-stone in Gods House by the vertue of which Stone they that believeth in him are quickned and made living stones meet to be joyned unto him the Light in whom the Building being fitly framed together groweth up unto an holy Temple in the Lord The Light was in the beginning before the Darkness was and is now made manifest to extinguish the Darkness and to fill the dark corners of the Earth with the bright beams of his glory he is the First and the Last he was before Time and will remain when that which in time is passed away The Light is the Beginning and the End the Foundation and Top-stone the Root and Off-spring of David and the Bright Morning-Star whose blessed Day Abraham saw and was glad he dwelt among the seven golden Candlesticks and was with the Church in the Wilderness in the dayes of old He is the Light of the holy City New-Jerusalem which John in the Lords-Day saw comming down from God prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband The Light giveth the Churches to know that it is he that searcheth the Heart and tryeth the Reins from whom no Hypocrite in Sion can be hid who saith I come quickly and my Reward is with me to give unto every one according as his work shall be But who shall abide the Day of his Coming in which the Heavens pass away with a great noise and the Elements melt with fervent heat and who shall stand when he appeareth who is like Refiners Fire and like Fullers Soap purifying his Sanctuary and cleansing his Temple in which he delights to dwell He is the Word that was in the beginning by whom all things were made that was made and in him there is Life and his Life is the Light of men and he is the true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the World he is the Express Image of his Fathers Glory and is called the Son of God in whom dwelleth all fulness of Joy Happiness and Eternal Felicity who is God over all and above all blessed blessed for ever and evermore Amen W. B. OH happy and blessed are the people who though they once were Darkness yet now are Light in the Lord Oh walk ye oh walk ye as Children of Light bearing the pure Image of the Father of Lights in whom is no Darkness at all nor variableness or shadow of turning but is the same yesterday so to day and for evermore FRiends that are Sufferers upon Truths account in Edmonds-Bury Goal are in a measure of health through the Love Goodness and ●ercy of the Lord blessed and magnified be his Name this 7th day of the 10th Moneth 67 and their dear love in the precious Truth dearly reaches forth unto all faithfull Friends every where and you are often in their remembrance desiring the Lord may prosper you and bless you with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus our Lord and keep you with us and the whole Israel of God by his Almighty Power through Faith in his Name unto his Heavenly Kingdom and enable us all to finish the work the Lord hath given us by his Power to do that we may glorifie him on Earth that he may glorifie us with himself with that glory he had before the World began even so be it and Amen saith my Soul THE END
