you but begets into Idolatry to worship other gods than he who is Light and be not troubled at temptations nor sufferings nor at reproaches nor any other thing but stand in the Counsel of God and in his long-suffering and wait patiently upon him in your own measure of the Grace of God received which is sufficient to preserve you that Victory over Death and over him that hath the power over it you may receive to trample upon all that which is contrary to the Life of God within you and without you neither be you troubled nor offended in Christ if any among you deny the Lord and backslide from his pure Way through an evil heart of unbelief and so become disobedient children and vex the righteous Soul such shall bear their own burden and condemnation in the day of the Lord and know that Truth changeth not but is the same for ever though the deceitful hearted through unbelief depart from it and choose their own wayes and despise the Counsel of the Lord to their own destruction but be ye more watchful faithful and valiant for the Truth upon Earth unto the end that you may be found faithful Witnesses unto the Name of the Lord in this crooked Generation and may receive the fulfilling of the Promise of God and may witness God with you the Emmanuel the Saviour God with us and this is the whole Salvation and there is no other to be expected or witnessed than this That God dwells in us and walks in us according to his Promise and all that know this need not go forth to the right hand or to the left but Salvation is come unto us he that takes away sin and saves from it and from condemnation and they who witness this are begotten by the Word of God and born of the immortal Seed and are new Creatures and there is now no Condemnation but the reward of Righteousness and Peace unto us who are not in the flesh but in the Spirit and here we witness the Lord is our God and we are his People and he sees no sin in us who are born of him nor remembers iniquity but his Covenant is with us and the Kingdom is become the Lords and his dominion is set up where God is all in all where the Prince of darkness is cast out and this is the end and substance of all Ministrations which we bear witness of And I do exhort all you who are called of God every where patiently to wait in the Way of the Lord and in his Judgments to receive this and to possess it within you that you may be worshippers of God and doers of his Will and may have the Witness that you are accepted of him and may know your Calling and Election sure where nothing that defileth can enter but that may be taken away and removed and Him you may feel and witness which Satan hath nothing in who is the second Adam and cannot be overcome but is greater than the first Adam who was overcome though innocent and is lost from the presence of God but he in whom there is no sin and who cannot transgress comes to seek and to save that which was lost in sin and to bring back that which was driven away by sin and He is greater than Innocency and overcometh the Devil and is called the Son of God and to him that overcometh who is the Light of the World is all Power given of the Father And know Him in you all to be the greatest who is not of the world nor cannot bow to the Devil to give you dominion and authority over all the World and the powers of Hell and Death even He who sealeth up the old Dragon in perdition never more to deceive And they w●● witness this know the Election which it is not possible to ●●ceive or be deceived and as every one of you have received Him who is the Lord from Heaven so let your Faith stand in Him and walk in Him and let all your conversations be ordered by Him in all pure and blameless walking in the sight of your Enemies that it may be manifest that you are branches in Him and that you have received power to become the Sons of God and that you are Heirs of the Inheritance which shall not fade away And all you that witness this your eye is opened to see God and you are cleansed from sin by the Word of God and you have received the Peace with God and glad-tydings from him in your own souls and this is Salvation by the second Adam herein be established and setled and look not for another for there is not any besides this Saviour and this Salvation but if any preach another believe them not and if any cry Lo here and Lo there is Christ without you go not after them nor follow them but know him within you which is greater than all yea if we our selves or an Angel from Heaven preach any other Iesus than he which lighteth every man that cometh into the world or any other Salvation than God with us let us be accursed for this is the Gospel of our Salvation Christ Iesus within us the hope of Glory the Power and Wisdom of God to rule and reign in us by which we are changed from Death to Life and translated from the power of Darkness into the Kingdom of his dear Son And now all Friends and Elect of God who are called and faithfull you that have received this Testimony which God hath given of the Son and which the Son hath given of the Father which in faithfulness hath been testified in this generation I exhort you all in the fear and counsel of the Lord take heed to that which you have believed and heard and learned of the Father which is the Truth as it is in Jesus and shall abide forever and be not removed from your hope nor given to change but mind the Life of God in you all which is immortal and is but one and it answereth to the Lord in Judgments and in Mercies one to another in that which is righteous and just and witnesseth against all the works of the world which are evil and not wrought in God Ye that know this which is of the Father in you dwell in it and walk in it and be not shaken out of it nor removed from it for it is the Way of Peace unto Everlasting Rest where there is no sorrow but Righteousness Peace and Joy in the holy Ghost and every one in particular have Salt in your selves to savour withal that you may resist the wicked-one in all his temptations and may not joyn to any thing which is out of Union and contrary to the Life of God and to the Truth which you have received that you may never be betrayed of your hope nor of the simplicity which is in Christ Jesus in which the Father is well-pleased and let the Light of the World guide you in all things

openly reviling the Ministers of Righteousness which God hath blessed and doth daily bless with his Eternal Power to the turning many unto God and to the strengthening of the weak and feeble which we with many do witness to be the Ministers of Life and Reconciliation and there is no other and are established in it and cannot be moved by the temptations of the Devil though the Wicked-one may revile for a moment to winnow some and to try them and to draw the hearts and minds of others into a snare out from the obedience to Christ Jesus which do become mockers and despisers and subverters of the simplicity of the Gospel of Peace and of the Ministers and Ministry thereof which is the Power of God unto Salvation and there is no other though some harden their hearts through unbelief and blind the eye till they be past feeling through rebellion against the Truth which they hold in unrighteousness and not in the Power of God having made the offence of the Cross to cease yet boasting in the liberty of Christ while they are unmortified having run from the Judgment and not truly come thorow it in the finishing of Condemnation and that spirit that goes out of the Cross is subverted and seeks to subvert others from the Truth as it is in Iesus and that spirit is denied fellowship with though it have conformity in the hypocrisie Wherefore this is the Word of the Lord God unto you that erre after that spirit Be awakened be awakened remember and repent and come to your first work to that which condemns you lest the Lord by his Hand of Wrath and Judgement upon you make you an example of Misery and Destruction to all that shall hereafter deny the Lord and his Truth Hear and consider to the Light in you all I speak have you another Truth than that which hath been known and declared from the beginning is there any other way to Life than which we have been Witnesses of who have not handled the Word of God deceitfully among you nor sought yours but you nor preached our selves but Iesus Christ and hereof we have the Witness in our Consciences in the holy Ghost And is there any other Salvation than that which God hath manifested which is Christ Iesus the Light of the World Be awakened and consider Wherefore then do you separate your selves disorderly and resist the Word of Life which once begot you towards the Lord Consider what you are doing and whither you are walking the end of your way is perdition and that is accursed which preacheth another Gospel how do you dishonour the Lord in the sight of the Heathen before whom you discover your nakedness and your shame doth appear having put off and cast aside your armour and weapon of Truth whereby you might have been defended but scorners and fools take occasion through your disorders and confusions to blaspheme the Name of the Lord and it is through you Oh be stirred up and consider and search your hearts and come to the tryal ye that vex the Lord's Soul and grieve his Spirit lest it cease to strive with you and you be wholly given up to fulfill wickedness till there be no place nor time of repentance found And this is a Warning to you all in the presence of the living God that you may return to your first love to fear before the Lord and to walk in his Truth if there may be mercy and to fulfill his Will which is the Light which you are lighted withall by Christ Iesus who is the Lamb of God the Way the Truth and the Life the author and finisher of Faith and there is not another and know this you that deny Him who is given yea unto you all he will deny you before his Father and of all your blood I am clear thus far whether you resist or receive who am the lover of your souls sometimes loved of you while you were lovers of the Truth and am now a Witness for the Lord and his Truth and against that spirit which leads you in the rebellion against the Government of Christ which is Order and Peace out of which you have erred to the piercing of your own souls and though you now exalt your selves against me and the Truth and boast your selves as though you reigned yet in the Day of the Lord shall the Light in you all which now is darkened bear witness to me and of my faithfullness in reproving you and the Truth is for ever dear to me and my soul delights no less in it though you rebel against it in the heady exalted presumptuous high wilful spirit which is not subject to the Government nor Authority of the Ministry of Christ but Truth is over you all and the Mountain of the Lord is established above you all and all your words and works and boastings and feignedness and disorder are denied and in them we have not fellowship but the contrary and do in the Authority of the Lord even by the same Authority which hath begotten us unto God and called us and carried us in his Work unto this day deny you all in that ground and state wherein you stand till repentance and returning from whence you are fallen to the Light which Christ hath lighted you withal And all faithful Friends this is the Word of the Lord God to you Hear and fear walk in the Truth which ye have heard and learned and received of the Father in it dwell and live and know there is no other than that which is made manifest which is sure to you all and cannot deceive nor be deceived and be not shaken in mind nor troubled though some deny the Lord but let their fall be a warning to you to be more watchful to be kept to the Lord lest you be tempted and dwell in the Mountain of Holiness which no Beast can touch where is a hiding-place to preserve you in the time of tryal and I charge you all in the presence of the living God of Life let your minds be setled and hearts stayed in the Truth which is the Foundation of God and know the Armour of God to gird you up to God where no offence is taken against Christ nor against the way of Truth but the Power of God doth remove that which would be offended and tramples upon that which gives the offence and in this you will be preserved until the day of Salvation and be aware of that spirit which boasts above the measure and of that which makes the offence of the Cross to cease for there hardness of heart and unbelief enters and so another is followed than the Light and another joyned to than Christ Jesus and there is the way to perdition who go from the Light within them they deny God and his Truth and follow the imaginations of the foolish heart and run in rashness and in the frowardness and that ground receives the unclean spirit in again with seven

that your works may be wrought in God never to be condemned nor you to suffer loss knowing this first That none are justified by him but them that are led and guided by him and to whom he is a Saviour he is also a Teacher and he is given to teach in all the wayes of Truth And now let your fellowship be in the Power and Life of God and know not one another in words onely and in shews and in outward appearance but witness one another in the Spirit and in the Truth and have communion there in breaking the Bread of Life that Christ Iesus may be seen to be the Head in you and you Members to serve him and one another all receiving Wisdom from the Head and Vertue from the Vine Christ Iesus that you may abound in Love Mercy and Peace and all the fruits of Righteousness unto the Father and dwell in the Fear and Counsel of God and be subject to his Will not despising the Cross which is the Power of God which slayes the birth that is born of the flesh which is not heir of the Promise but walk in the Cross daily that your understanding may be kept open to try and discern all spirits whether they be of God and believe not every spirit for lying spirits may arise among your selves and go forth from the Light who are not in the Truth but in the feignedness and hypocrisie with false visions and lying imaginations handling the Word of God deceitfully corrupting and perverting the pure Way of God having the Form but not the Power having left the Power and gone from the Light and such utter the words of Truth without the Life and is but as the Chaff to the Wheat and they are to be denyed and resisted and not joyned to lest Innocency and Simplicity be betrayed and your Faith made void and so you be destroyed from the Life of God and Death surprize you and Darkness enter into your dwellings and so Unbelief Doubtings Murmurings and Lustings after Evil arise in you and you be perverted from the Worship of the true God and grieve his righteous Spirit by bowing to Idols and following of other Lovers and so the true God which hath brought you out of Egypt and made manifest his Power in you be forgotten and the Faith of his Son made shipwrack of and your latter end be worse than the beginning and the Name of the Lord be dishonoured by you and then wo be unto you his Wrath shall suddenly break out against you Wherefore hear and fear and hearken unto the Word of the Lord He hath caused his Light to shine forth and his Voice to be heard He hath proclaimed his Name among you and hath caused his marvellous Light to approach when you sate in darkness in the Land of the shadow of death when you were lost he sought you and when you were driven away and scattered he found you and brought you home when you were in your blood and no eye pittyed you he had mercy upon you and bound you up and healed you when you were dead he said unto you Live and it was so when you were led captive by the Devil under the power of Death he brake the Chains and set you free and when there was none to help and to save his own Arm brought Deliverance and Salvation and the Way of Life and Peace he set before you And now all this hath his own Arm accomplished that you should be a praise unto him for evermore and if you walk in the way which he hath set before you and keep his Covenant which he hath made with you and fulfill his Will and walk in Righteousness in Love and Unity in Meekness Lowliness Humbleness and in Soberness and Watchfulness and in Fear of his Name then shall his Presence never forsake you nor his out-stretched Arm cease to defend and preserve you but he shall go before you and be your reward and he shall be your God and you shall be his People and you shall dwell in him and he shall be your hiding-place and he will be to you a Father and you shall be his Children and his Blessing and Peace shall remain in your habitations for ever and ever but if any of you turn aside for a thing of nought after vanity and deny the Way of Righteousness and forget the Lord and kick against him and follow the way and counsels of your own hearts and worship other gods and joyn your selves to strangers and commit Adultery with other Lovers and make the Cross of Christ of none-effect and turn from the Light of Christ within you and fulfill your own wills and the desire of your own minds and go out of the Fear of the Lord into the liberty of the flesh which is not the Liberty in Christ Jesus and so seek your selves and strive for mastery to be one above another and so surmise evil one against another and the bond of Peace be broken and vain contention and strife appear then shall the Rod of God smite you and his Wrath be suddenly kindled against you and you shall not prosper but his Countenance shall be hid and the Terrors of the Lord and Lamentations shall possess you and Peace shall flee far from you and such shall be cast out of the Camp of the Lord and shall have no part in the Inheritance but the Blessing shall depart and the Curse shall enter till utter destruction yea and if any of you deny the Lord unto whom his Way is made manifest he will deny you and you shall have no part in him but Vengeance in flames of fire will he render upon the disobedient manifold more than if his Love and way of Peace had not been made manifest to you and the Light of the World is your Condemnation for evermore if you turn from it And in the presence of the living God I warn you all Believe not that spirit neither follow it which brings any other Message than what hath been declared from the beginning believe not him which cryes Lo here or Lo there is Christ without you or that draweth from the measure of Christ within you to hearken to or to be taught by any other thing for that spirit is not of the Father which preacheth any other Christ than he that is the Light of the World and lighteth every man that cometh into the World and which bringeth any other Message than that God is light in himself and hath given his Son a Light into the World And this is the true Testimony of the Father and of the Son and he that testifieth any other Message is to be judged and denyed he is not a Worshipper of the true God but out of the Truth and in the Errour and a Deceiver and being deceived Again Believe not that spirit neither follow it which ministers to others that which it hath not learned of the Father but hath the words without the Power and
