Maker and his bowels stir up his Power to return the Captivity of Judah and of all the house of Israel whose lot is to inhabit Jerusalem And be it known unto you all That God Almighty will be angry with all such which do stand in a height above the contrite and broken heart saying in presumption We are above and beyond all things in the outward which can annoy or hurt us and God will bring down all such and make them to know that if he is lived in he will be lived in even in his Spirit of contriteness which infuseth the reverence and fear dread and trembling at his Name in the inward parts where the broken heart must be witnessed which is the true sacrifice which God requireth and accepteth So he that is gone above the contrite heart is gone out of the acceptance with God not having the true Sacrifice in which acceptance is found and in that heart which is gone from the contriteness there is no true praise for the low life is departed from which only can praise Him which ruleth above all things and so the creature goeth from his Creator and sacrificeth unto his own affection and praiseth the delight of his own lust and drowneth his poor soul in perdition Finally my dear and everlastingly beloved little Lambs of the true Shepherd in this Spirit my life labours with you and the abundance of my unspeakable love floweth forth unto you even that which no Voice can tell you but the immediate Voice of God which is nigh you wherein I am rouled bound up and sealed among and in you greatly comforted concerning you feeling a glorious and goodly number in my daily prayers of great price in the gracious eye of God And many will passe thorough a fire which will make them shine as the Sun and their fruit will be only to God Ah! I cannot tell you of the Glory of the Day which cometh among you for I am ravished and overcome in the sence of that Glory which my weak and bleared eye can see and truly the Glory is such that for Glory I cannot behold but I cry but I cry Oh! the depths of Love which will wound Enmity Oh! the weight of Mercy which will kill Cruelty Oh! the pleasantness of Patience which will extinguish Persecution Oh! the depth of Wisdom which will work over Stratagems Oh! the worth of Vertue which will crown with Diadems Oh! the dread of Life and power of Supremacy which will wear the Glory of an everlasting Dominion this will be the Sting the Wo and the Torment unto every unclean spirit upon the face of the Earth until she shall bear that spirit no more upon her face but all things shall be as they were in the beginning and God in more infinite measure gloriously known and enjoyed than ever in any Age that is past since the dayes that Adam was made a true and living Soul Grace Mercy and Peace be unto you all giving you growth in this Life Amen So reade me in the Word of God and then reade this a second time over in your Congregations Written in Rome-Prison of Mad-men Concerning Judgment The Son of Love Peace and Unity who is of the mind of Subjection unto the Spirits of the Prophets To the Gathered Seed of the Lord Almighty Sendeth the Fruits of the Life of Concord as a most sincere Salutation unto them all wheresoever upon the face of the Earth BEloved Sisters and Brethren I would that you should all know in the deeps of the Spirit of Power and Glory that GOD is but one Eternal Life of Love Peace and Everlasting Unity in Himself not having in Him Prejudice strength of a froward Will lust of entrance into any other Nature than His own or Pride in His Throne of Glory but is full of Love and Mercies unto Enemies easie to be entreated of Pure in Life and the lowest and humblest in His Eternal mind of all things beside Him Yea as He is Infinitely in Power above all the works of his hands so in His Humility He is Immeasurably below them all wherein the Excellency of His Beauty and Glory is seen to be above all who is blessed praised and honoured of all that truly know Him for ever Amen This therefore is His mind unto all the Children of the Day viz. That they should seek to have a dwelling in the brightness of the Glory of His Life by feeling after Him in the lowest places of His habitation where righteous Judges in Israel shall be known and righteous Judgement which oppresseth not any but is appointed for the Revelation of Mercy unto all shall be witnessed in the Consciences of every raised Seed of Jacob which shall preserve the Concord Peace Love and everlasting Unity among all even unto the determination of all Time wherein the Restoration of all things shall come to pass as it was first in the Original before Transgression was that there may not be the groan of a Creature under the bondage of Oppression but the whole Earth Seas and all that in them is become one entire Body made up of the perfection of the Glory of the Almighty Creator that it may be an everlasting Song of His highest Honour for ever and ever Amen I feel a Life which in some years silence through Tribulations and great Tribulations in the secret continual exercise of the mind of the Spirit of holiness through the deep mercies of God hath attained unto a small measure of the understanding and knowledge of the Judgments of its Maker And therefore as one that hath obtained Mercy at the Tribunal of God and is precepted to the same am drawn forth of a free heart to shew unto all the tender in Israel That Order of Iudgement which is justified of the Lord God that in the execution thereof without respect of Persons in Judgement the Peace of his God's Holiness may be kept in his Tents and Love and Unity in the richest blessings of Mercy be held and retained in his Land Everlastingly All that are born of the Seed of Promise must grow into the similitude of the glory of their heavenly Father in all things which are holy and vertuous in the light of Life which gives to see that God is not rigorous rash nor cruel but tender pitiful forgiving long-suffering and merciful which sheweth the amiableness of His Glory in Judgment in which Image of Glory all the Children of Light must grow to be as their Father is for which Cause in matters of unresolvedness or controversie betwixt Friend and Friend Brother Brother it ought to be pondered Whether the thing that is objected against be sin which if it so appears and that also to the dishonour of God and his Truth in the eye of the World then shall there be an utter denying of the sin and a tender admonition given to that Person to forsake and repent of his sin And so like wise Gardeners ye ought to pluck
