unsought-for Therefore Concerning the sufferance of God by his spirit in the creature consider in the fear of God hat nothing is suffered to work against the innocen● in this day but what makes for the praise and glory of God that so suffereth it for the remainer of what more than makes for his praise and glory in sufferance he did and doth restrain and then is praised and glorified in that work of restraint over the Elements and other unsensible creatures that are more obedient to the work of his Spirit and Powers requirings than his creature Mankind against whom the Oxe and Ass are called witnesses and the Sea that keeps its bounds when to the proud swelling waves it is said Ye shall not surpass your limit for hitherto shall ye go and no further and every creature in like manner and in their place testifieth against man in the fall and transgression against God as was seen of old when the waters witnessed against the world they overtook in the oldness of that state of sinning and rebelling against God and against Pharoah and his Host as did the fire against Sodom and Gomorrah And always did the creatures resistance of and striving against Gods Spirit and Judgment strengthen it against himself Gods Glory appeared in the deliverance of his own Seed in his own way and time the more glorious and excellent for the sake of the patience of his Saints and children in his Spirit and Spirits work he suffered the enemy and enemies work to come forth and exalt self in that over all glory and excellency that might be exalted that was and is worthy of endless praise and glory which should be satisfaction to all the upright in heart whose cause is Gods and left with him to plead that they may be kept from fretting under the same the fret of the wicked in envying their prosperity but in the midst thereof may rejoyce that for righteousness sake they are found worthy so to do and if it be not for that the less cause have they to be angry and discontented and offended for God is praised and glorified by and in his own works on his creature in his and their spirits sufferance that thereby manifesteth the patience of such his Spirits work and of his Saints in whom it thus works in Gods forbearance of executing tht fiercenesse of judgment on the world and unreasonable minded in their cruelty who by sufferance and endurance is now come forth to conquer that which by the strength of desire of that life the glory of God was first concerned in once awakened the fury of such Gods judgment in what was the pain and death of the creature Mark the prayer and desire of the righteous in all ages and generations moved and awaken'd God in judgment against the world in that state of wickedness it lyes and that ministration was glorious to the awakening a witness for God in his creature against what Gods Judgments were bent and over which they were exalted which made Christ say to the Pharisees of old he could pray the Father and he would send more than twelve Legions of Angels to deliver him and to his Disciples that would have had fire come down from Heaven and consume their enemies they knew not what spirits they were of for he came not to destroy mens lives but to save it and God was in him mark that before the world began reconciling it to himself which he suffered to work and come forth in the world in enmity against his Spirit to honour and praise and exalt his Judgment and the justice and justness thereof against the offenders that refused to be warned by gentle and light corrections and afflictions that are the chastisements of Gods children and is it which makes chast to God where a virgin state and birth thereof is known and witnessed in the world in his Spirits leading and guidance that learned obedience by the things he suffered And all these things were written for our admonition and instruction on whom the ends of the earth are come that have believed the report of such that gave testimony concerning the work of that Spirit or of God who is a Spirit And though by their faith mighty works and things of old were done even Lyons mouths stopt and the rage of devouring fire quenched c. and they all dyed in the faith of the work of God by and in that Spirit yet the work was Gods even that of the restraining power and wisdome of the worker and he only was worthy of and had the praise thereof that flesh might not glory therefore had not they received the promise of God in the glory of what he determined to rejoyce in he having provided some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect mark without us should not and a more better thing and glorious day that they desired to see and saw not no not one of those dayes we see hath appeared and is manifest in the world and yet the world are under-valuing the glorious appearance of God in our day and age because of their own blindness and hardness of heart and would make it lesse or the least of and in any Age and Generation of the world and think the work of God perfected in their faith and belief of somthing already done without them many years past as the work of a body without a spirit as is their faith therein without the work of that Spirit dead This therefore is my advice unto the world and all people therein to return to the Lord in that suffering spirit which of old carryed many through great tryals and cruel sufferance and conquered the power and pain of death and other grievous afflictions they were called to and passed through who were faithful to the requirings thereof and they had the joy thereof as well in sufferance and endurance of what thereby they were called to for the tryal of their faith ●s in experience of deliverance by the work of the same Spirit through their faith wherein was and is deliverance witnessed under sufferance and endurance of whatever makes for the exalting the judgment of God though the thing be suffered and endured in obedience to the call and requirings of God by his Spirit the world self are taking occation at Therefore haste haste to meet the Lord by repentance that into the suffering life of God all may come to be bended that hath been exalted over the same and in it may have a sence and feeling of the work of truth by the Spirit of God wrought and working in the heart and of its sufferance by what hath darkened the Judgment of Creatures and mis-lead their minds in the spirit of the World and errour of mis-lead Judgments R.
