that have gone before you nor turn the sword against the Just and the Righteous as they have done and caused the just and the innocent to suffer which God hath pleaded the cause of though they were blind and did not see nor would not hear the warning and the exhortation that was ministred unto them yet God hath said they shall see and be ashamed And God will plead the cause of his own just and innocent Seed that hath no helper in the earth which hath long suffered under the hard bondage of Egyptian darknesse But he hath seen the affliction of his seed and he hath heard the cry of it and he is come to relieve it So if ever ye will have the powerfull God to own you and honour you Beware of strengthening the hands of the wicked and the evill doers and of turning your sword against the innocent he is the same and he liveth for ever that hath said It were better that a Mill-stone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the Sea then to offend one of his little ones This word endureth for ever and will be fulfilled every jot and tittle though men make light of it and doe not see the Weight nor the Depth of it But when their day of calamity comes then will they see what is due unto that which hath offended this which God so highly prizeth Therefore as ye love your soules and your eternal peace beware what ye doe now ye are in place and Authority and now ye have power to act for God if ye keep your hearts upright unto him he will direct you And if your faces be towards Sion he will teach you of his wayes that ye may walk in his paths which will be out of the paths of the broad way that leads to destruction which all that went before you have walked in And that ye may be preserved out of the snares of the sowler which the wicked one layes for those that are in place of Authority as you are in is even the desire of my soule And if your hearts be not corrupt ye will be preserved For out of the heart proceeds evill thoughts Murder and Adultery Thefts false witnesse and Blasphemies these are the things which defiles the man That which cometh out of a man defileth him not that which entereth into him Read that neare and consider it seriously for there is a great weight in those words So keep to the just principle of God in you that which keeps you clean out of advantages out of time-serving and men-pleasing so may ye escape the Polutions that they fell into that went before you And the God of all power give you to see and understand that his righteousnesse he will exalt in this his day And oh that ye could believe in your hearts and confesse with your mouthes that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead then should ye be saved from the transgressing against the just For with the heart man believeth unto righteousnesse and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is borne of God and every one that loveth him that ●●●at● loveth him that is begotten of him marke this and read this neare So if ye love God which hath begot love that which is begotten of him in you and this will keep you out of transgression and out of persecution and out of sinne and evill and teach you to be a terrour to the evill doers not a terrour to the good but a praise to them that doth well And to this Word and Power Eternall and Immortall I commit and command you which is able to save your soules who in his time he shall shew who is the blessed and onely Potentate the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who onely hath immortality dwelling in the light which no man can approach who no man hath seen nor can see to whom be Honour and Power everlasting AMEN See 1 Timothy 6.15 16.

TO THE General Councel AND OFFICERS OF THE ARMY And to every MEMBER in particular FRIENDS I am moved of the Lord to write unto you in the Name and power of our Lord Jesus Christ and in tender love and dear bowels of affection and to the Measure of God in you all I desire to be made manifest and known And I can truly say my love is dear to you and I know that my heavenly Father hath brought you now unto the place of Judicature that ye may do Justice where many others before you have been turned and overturned and that shortly and suddenly of late years And now are ye come into their place to be tried and weighed in the ballance of true justice and judgement And oh that your eyes were open to see what the most high is doing in this his day of power in this his day of grace that so ye might not be blinded as others before you have been who would not see the Lords hand but acted as men corrupt and so came to be thrown down by the power which they would not see You have been the Instruments of warre and the Battle-axe in the hand of the Lord which hath even beaten the mountains to dust and now are ye come into their place which they were in with whom ye warred And now are ye come into the place where ye may execute that which ye formerly desired after and suffered for and laboured for and warred for And now that the Lord hath put it into your hands even to try your faithfulness and your integrity Not that he hath any need of you more then them that went before you as ye are men natural but as you are righteous men and guided by the just and righteous principle of God in you so you may be serviceable unto the Lord God for the accomplishing and for the performing of the intents of his heart which he hath determined and decreed to bring to pass in these latter dayes against which no weapon formed shall prosper nor no power nor Arm can withstand For the Almighty will shew forth his righteousness as the morning and his glory as the noon-day Therefore as ye love your soules and your eternal peace and as ye desire to be preserved by him and kept and upholden by the right hand of power beware that ye turn not your hand against his work that he is working in the earth in this his day The powers of darkness hath long kept him out of his throne and he hath holden his peace long been still but now is he crying even as a travelling woman now will he arise and destroy at once all those that will not that he should reign whose right it is who is the wonderfull Counsellour the Prince of Peace of whose Dominion and Government there shall be no end And as you desire that he should govern and Rule all Nations with his rod of Iron now quit your selves like men and that liberty for which ye have ventured your blood and lives let it not now fall in the streets of great Babylon when it is put into your hands freely to minister to the Nations And let Christ Jesus who is the supreme Judge in the conscience have his throne established which is for ever and ever And let the everlasting Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ have its free passage which no man need be ashamed of for it is the power of God unto salvation And dear friends as ye desire to be owned of the living God and to be preserved and upholden by his power and strength Come into seriousness and sincerity of heart and let the just measure of God in you all lead you and guide you and let his fear possess your hearts for ye have seen what hath become of those that were before you And truly Gods just hand was seen which would come upon them before it came And now that ye may escape the scourge that hath overturned them is the desire of my soule And as God hath honoured you and made you Instruments for his service so that ye now might be guided with that which may stand in his presence For the Lord giveth wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding he layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous he is as a buckler to them that walk uprightly he keepeth the paths of judgement and preserveth the way of his Saints that they understand righteousness judgement and equity ye every good path And truly friends it is the uprightness of your hearts that God looks at and that will only be accepted of him And it hath been the rotten deceitfulness of the hearts of those that went before you that was their overthrow And so just as the intents of your hearts is for the advancing and exalting of the horn of his Anointed so will ye prosper in this work For the decree of the Lord concerning this thing is sealed which shall never be revoked Thus saith the Lord the Redeemer of Israel his holy One to him whom man despiseth to him whom Nations abhorreth to a servant o● Rulers Kings shall see and arise Princes also shall worship because of the Lord that is faithful and the holy One of Israel This is he that must rule the Nations whose Scepter is a righteous Scepter and blessed will ye be if ye advance and exalt him whom God is exalting in this his day The Spirit of the Lord doth rest upon him the Spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of Counsell and of Might the spirit of knowledge and of the feare of the Lord with righteousness doth he judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth and he shall smite the earth with the Rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips will he slay the wicked and righteousnesse is the girdle of his loynes and faithfulness the girdle of his reins And this is he Friends that is springing out of the stemme of Jesse and woe unto them that warre against him This is the righteous branch that the Lord is bringing forth the King that shall reign and prosper whose Name is the Lord our Righteousness which is better then every name to which all Nations shall bow and every tongue con●ess him to be Lord. And as ye advance and ●●●lt this so will ye prosper and so will ye be preserved in the midst of your enemies And though we be but little and small in your eyes a people despised and every where spoken against yet it will be good for you if ye have our prayers for we know the Rock and the Corner stone and that which will prosper in his sight and we have the testimony which will stand for ever And no other foundation can any one lay then that which is already laid but let every one take heed how he buildeth thereupon for every ones work must be tried by the fire and he whose work is burnt will suffer loss
