A54906 Bowells of compassion towards the fettered seed. Or a visitation to all, who hath been seeking the resting place, but hath not found it the cause why shewed, and the way to it manifested, wherein is something shewed also, of the emptinesse, and unsoundnesse of all profession, without the light of Christ, to be the guide. Also an information to all the honest-hearted who desires to know the truth in the simplicity of it concerning us, the people of the most high who is by the world called Quakers: ... Written in love to the scattered people in America: and is to be sent to all the islands belonging to it, that all may be warned, and left without excuse. By one who am a witnesse what the Lord hath done for his people, and hath obteined with him among the rest of the faithfull, whom he hath gathered into his fold of rest; where they are throughly satisfied; and lies down in peace and rest.

but the Son and h● to whom the Son reveales him and who ever comes to know the Father and the Son to dwell in them they must come to the light and wait in it to feel the Fa●her and the Son revealed and here you will know the doctrine of Christ and all that abides in it they have both the Father and the Son and if any bring any other doctrine then this you are not to receive them into your houses neither bid them God speed least you be partakers of their sins And all that reads this may see that that accusation is falsly cast upon us to say that we deny the Ministers of Christ for it is none but those that professe themselves to be his ministers and doth not abide in his doctrine it is those that we deny and declare against those that we find walking in the steps of the false Prophets which we read of in the scriptures So this is for the simples sake that they may cleerly understand that we do not deny the true Ministry nor Ministers but own them and witnesse th●● true ministry among us And praises be unto the Lord many have the word of reconciliation committed unto them and are faithfull ministers of it not of the letter but of the spirit which gives life by which many comes to be converte● unto God and turned from darknesse unto light So it is none but those that can not witnesse this ministry that we speake against who runs for their own ends but is not sent of God and so doth not profit people those indeed we do declar● against as all those ever did that was sent by God and did receive their ministr● from him freely and so was to minister freely unto those whom the Lord sen● them and so the Lord he cared for them And those that make a prey upon th● people and through covetousnesse make Merchandize of soules those we do deny such as watches not for the good of soules but for the flee●e such we exhor● people to turn away from least they be destroyed by them such who feedes n●● the flock but feeds themselves those teachers we declare against in what Countrey or place soever we find them and seeks to redeem people out of their mouth●● that so they may no longer make a prey upon them that they may be brought 〈◊〉 know their true shephard and true Teacher who is now come to teach his people by his own spirit and is fullfilling his promise made with Israel all the children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be their peace and now he is gathering the residue of his own seed into his covenant of ligh● where they shall not need to teach every man his neig●b●ur and brother saying know the Lord but all shall know him from the least to the greatest and he is pouring forth of his spirit upon all flesh and many both Sons and Daughters is brought to Prophesie according unto his promise and this he hath fullfilled and brought to passe among his gathered flock other great astonishment of all the heathen round about who knows not God nor his power by which he subdues Kingdomes and over-turnes them untill the Government of them come into his hand whose right they are who reignes in righteousnesse in justice and in equity who must rule all Nations with his Iron rod and will dash them to peices like a Potters vessell that opposeth him in his work which now he is bringing to passe by his own Arm even his work his strange work his act his strange act So this the Lord hath put in my heart to warne all both high and low both rich and poor bond and free that you take heed how you lift your hand against the Lord and his people whom he hath made witnesses of his out-goings which hath been as in times of old least it come upon you as spoken of by his Prophet behold yee despisers and wonderers and perish for the abomination which hath caused desolation is seen and he that stands in the holy place reads and understands So I say again this is a warning unto all sorts of people in these forreigne Countreyes that they be not hasty to speake evill of things that they know not nor to judge rashly of things they doe not understand but that they may with patience wait to see what the Lord will bring to passe least they be found fighting against him and so be consumed by the breach of his nostrills for surely his stroke will be grievous and fall heavy upon all that withstands him for consider was there ever any that strove against the Lord and prospered Nay though the heathen rage and the wicked imagine vaine things against the Lord and his people they shall be confounded and his Son he will exalt upon his holy hill to be both Lord and King and Law-giver unto whom Kings and Princes shall be made subject and shall lay downe their Crownes at his feete and this the Lord will bring to● passe contrary to all the wills of men that so he may be exalted and get himselfe a name for his own works sakes whose out-goings was ever strange unto the World and this I say for your sake whose hearts is after God that you may not be filled with reports from the mouthes of wicked and ungodly men concerning us the people of the most high but that you may be single in your mindes from judging of us untill you see further of us And mind the testimony of Gods witnesse in you that you may be preserved from passing Judgement nastily upon u● onely from the reports of such as know not the Lord. For a people that is hated of the World we are and the Lord hath redeemed us out of the pollutions of it whereby we give our testimony against it that the deeds of it is evill wherefore we are hated of the World as those ever was whom the Lord called out of it and chose to beare his testimony against it and unto his truth whereby they become a by-word and a reproach unto the World as we are now whom he hath redeemed unto himselfe out of the vain glory and customes of it whereby we have the testimony of his spirit that we are of him and that the whole World lies in wickednesse and because we obey his commands and they are not greivous but joyous to us And because the love of God dwels amongst us and is perfected in us and one towards another whereby we know that we are passed from death to life where Satan hath no power but is cast out which hath caused great wrath upon them that dwels in the Earth that so many times they have sought to devour us and hath had power to cast some of us into Prison and to inflict punishment upon our outward bodies for a time in which time the Lord was with us our stay and refuge when all the powers of darknesse rose
