habitation amongst you and in your love and life let me have a resting place yea stretch forth your Armes to imbrace my breathing soule and let your hearts be open to receive my love for I am your Brother one of your Mothers Children let me be near unto you And further my dearely beloved Brethren and Sisters let me put you in remembrance that the enemies of your everlasting peace are many subtill Potent yea when I have beheld the rageing sea casting up her Monsters when I have reviewed the strength of Amalecks Army with the Midianitish wiles the long wilderness uninhabited and the unknown path to be passed through with the many Bryars and Thornes fiery Serpents and wild Beasts the sons of Anak to be overcome and fenced Cities to be won in the ardency of my spirit and fervency

from whom alone salvation comes and in diligence and faithfulness waite upon him that with his wisdome and power yee may be throughly furnished by which yee may be able to encounter with and overcome all hardships and enemies whatsoever for truely dear hearts when I veiw the strength the subtilty the vigilancy and cruelty of these Enemies my heart would faint but that I also see and know the worke

every thing for it s in League with the Prince of Darkness and is a chief Leader in his Army selfe love selfe wisdome yea beware of the wisdome of the flesh which will some times exercise it selfe in the things of God and will be prying into trying examining judging that which it understands not but in the end it betrayes Simplicity and Innocency beware of selfe Exaltation under what shew soever but keep to that which keeps you in the Cross to the carnall part that yee may dye daily thereunto yea remember the time of your first love and day of your espousalls when the dread of the Lord was over you and when you durst not utter words untill tryed and Judged when simplicity and Innocency was sought after to be Guid and Leader Oh then Unity and Love increased and the little ones grew strong in the Lord Take heed of Covetousness of the mind secret stealing againe into the Earth beware of haste and rashness in any thing but let the meeke and gentle Spirit Guide and Leade in every thing and be kind and tenderly affectioned one to another bearing and forbearing each other in love looking alwayes to the better Part where the unity stands unto that which in your selues discovers secrets but covers and hides infirmities in the Brethren and if any be overtaken with a fault take heed of hasty Judging Reproving for that will not restore but in Pitty and Love beare Verily when I

sence and feeling of others wants but waite to have that eye open that beholds feeles others necessities yea let your bowells be drawen forth to the hungry ond needy that their bowells also may bless the Lord for you take heed of excuses when truth necessity requires your aide what if some be slack negligent herein let others be So much the more bountifull liberall by such example to provoke or make them ashamed that it may appear that the earth is under your feet and that you are Children of the Lord because you love the Brethren and in all that the sence and feeling of the love of God towards you reach forth one to another as the root and off-spring of all then shall peace extend to you as a River and righteousness run down as a mighty stream then shall there be noe mourning nor complaining in our streets nor begger in our Israel but Unity joy and gladness within our Habitation Oh it s a blessed thing to have an open heart and liberall hand a sacrifice well pleassing to the
