beasts service to fowls service to fishes and service to worms all in the Love in which they were by the humble Spirit created to be served of the humble Spirit according to all their respective kinds So here you may see the Eternal Wisdom dwelleth in the low place where a friend in the pure Spirit of Humility which proceedeth out of the Eternal Bosom of Love which created all things for a service as God Almighty himself serveth all living creatures in the same Love and Lowliness oughteth to sweep his friend's house and to latch his shoes and make clean the way of his footsteps yea and to do it with the very sweat of his brow which I speak in God Almighty's holy Spirit to all without respect of persons For this will give all the Children true entrance and living ingress into the bowels of God's mercies that as they in the incomprehensible Love are come down to serve in the low house beneath all Earth and Waters under the Earth and there to give due attendance as God Almighty waiteth to serve all and thus are Ministers in the feeling bowels of the unlimited pitties and compassions to all distresses without respect of creatures or persons in this manner gathering all into the unlimitedness of their bowels of mercies So become they gathered into the inmost part of the Eternal Bosom and here the Life provoketh the Love and the Love stirreth up the Bowels and the Bowels of God are provoked to yearn in Himself which brings home the Oppressions of the Oppressed in a greater weight upon the Spirit of the Almighty God than if it were done to him alone and in particular for that they are the helpless Apple of his Eye which cannot help it self nor take out the pricking motes without the help of a careful and merciful hand And therefore the GOD of your Hope in the day of Affliction and Temptation will arise and roar as a Lioness which is robbed of her Whelps because her compassions go after her young and the Nations shall dread and tremble and the Host thereof shall fall by the high-way side for as much as they carried away the spoil which they should have left in the Land and have wasted the Tents of the Lord And the house of the Spoiler shall be made a spoil before Him and he which robbed the Labourer of his Hemp and Flax as he beareth the burden thereof from his Neighbours door it shall burn as a flame at his back Wo unto Egypt for the Lord is jealous Wo unto Rimmon for that the Anger of the God of Righteousness and Judgment kindleth Weep ye craggy Rocks and howl ye exalted Mountains and lament your part O ye lofty Hills round about the Cities of Tyre and Sidon For I will overturn saith the Lord God and it shall be a day of ratling even as if the Firmament were falling with Thunders Nations shall hear it and dread and I will have a Name of Righteousness saith the Lord Almighty even unto the ends of the whole earth Then shalt thou sing O Daughter of my own Beloved and gladness shall never depart from thy Scituation O Damsel of my hearts delight for I will be thine in an Oath and thou shalt be mine in a perpetual Covenant even for ever and evermore saith the God of eternal love In this Spirit therefore which is of Power Might of Truth and Faithfulness I have dearly to stir you up and exhort you to wait in the patience and content of the Life of the Lamb submitting in the will of the Father unto every yoak weight and burthen whatsoever may be permitted to be put upon your necks and backs and also in the true feeling of the Oppressions of every soul put your backs to their burthen whosoever they be without respect of persons for that Spirit is of God which is tender and enclineth unto a feeling of every mans Yoak for so did God Almighty feel and pity and compassionate them in their Sufferings and under their Oppressions which now do oppresse and make the others to suffer by whom they formerly were oppressed which the others should not have done then neither should these do so now Therefore do ye the Children of God even as your Father doth stand between them both in the Spirit which bears every man's Oppression and unjust load and so you shew your selves to be of the Image of your Father who thereby will enlarge his Glory very greatly in the whole Earth for God will have such a sound to go unto the ends thereof and gain himself a great Name of praise thereby And as for you in this Spirit your Reward shall be very great and your Redemption shall certainly come and therfore again I say let Patience have her perfect work for the black horse which is Coloured over with blood which now runneth the race was never truly ayred nor well breathed and the Course from the first start being a full loose upon switch and spur will surely sink before half the Race is run and he which comes gently after on the moderate speed will obtain the mark and the prize So though the little ones do eat their bread with the sweat of their brows for a season it is but to prepare them and their pure appetites to eat at a feast of fat things in the infinite worth and incomprehensible price of an everlasting life of thanksgiving and praise unto him which prepareth the Table To which purpose this the Lord God requireth of his People rent souls broken spirits contrite hearts breathing mindes fervent prayers and exceeding open bowels to God Almighty in all things of your souls desires for this is the Sacrifice which the Eternal Power requireth from All without respect of persons and he loveth the broken spirit and hath respect unto the contrite heart which I full well know by large testimony and experience and now the deeper I ponder it the more it rents my inward parts to consider the greatness of the Goodness of God which answereth the full streams of the broken spirit and contrite heart which I cannot but testifie that Israel may drink refreshment even at the brim of the Cup-ful of my Consolations and hold it as an exceeding Joy in his house to go down and humble himself before his God in the rent soul broken spirit and exceeding contrite heart to feel his Creator's acceptance of him in the day of his mourning before him Enter enter and feel your thorough ingress into this house in the contrite heart O all ye Children of the living God that you may know your Father's Life and bear his very Image and true likeness in all things for his Spirit is wounded and mourneth and grieveth in more contriteness than your eye can discern or reach bearing every man's oppressive burdens without respect of persons so you entring here into the deeps of the Spirit of God the humble spirit of contriteness you move the bowels of your
