hadst finished thy work and wouldst take thy rest Who was this Rest why Jesus was this Rest from the beginning he was the prepared Rest from the Creation Thou broughtest forth a seventh-Seventh-day wherein thou saidst thou restedst and a work wherein thou restedst and all to shew that Jesus Christ is the true Rest who is the true sabbath-Sabbath-day the prepared Rest the Eternal Rest Oh that there might be no more wallowing in Satans fires and quagmires Oh they do miss of their Rest they do not enter into their true Sabbath they do not see their first-day Let them see Jesus Christ to be the true Rest the true first-day Thou first appeared as the first day to poor contemptible Creatures to poor Women Oh Mary I am thy Rest and she answered Rabboni When thou appearst to be Rest then how do they take thee into their bosom then they see no Peace under the Sun but in thee if he be gone Rest is gone Sabbath is gone Peace is gone that bright day of the Resurrection which is brighter then the rising of the Sun does not then appear When a poor soul knows not what to do temptation weighs them down corruption sinks them they know not what way to turn from Bryars and Thorns Oh then thou appears and gives Rest and makes them go forth with joy and leads them forth with peace and then thou makes all melody before them Tempted souls can tel what it is to enjoy their Maker they can say he is their onely Rest Oh who would not make thee their Rest Thou singledst out a Day because thou knewest mans cruelty and covetousnesse that he would not give rest to Man or Beast but whatis a day if thou in a day wert not the Rest The time will come that the whole Creation shal have a Rest and Redemption which shall abide not for a day but shall continue Lord it is a Fasting day indeed when thou art a Rest when thou commest out with a sparkling rest if thou hadst given a rest in thy Ordinary way that had been very sweet oh but a rest in the Mount with thy selfe a transfiguring Rest among Angels with the brightest sun oh can there be eclipses upon this Sun the Sun of Righteousnesse who is the same and there is no alteration no cloud can cover it Who can mix Water and Oyle together will not the Oyle be always above so thou dear Jesus wilt stil be above upon the top if trouble come thou sayest begone Surely Lord I will make mention of thy Rest for ever thy Rest hath so many Companions with it Peace and Quietnesse and Regulation throughout the whole Man all is put to silence before it Thy Servant wondered at those words the Lord is risen let all the earth keep silence What art thou a coming forth art thou putting a stop to all the Nations of the earth their designs and projects all enemies both by Sea and Land But I will put to silence saith the Lord all enemies within O arise against all inward Enemies and let them be put to silence Let there be no more the voice of the Earth heard in thine thou hast put the earth in thy poor Servant to silence thou hast made thy Heavens to come down into her Earth Whom the Son makes free they are free indeed Oh freedome indeed other freedom what is it a poor freedom but this freedom within is through the resurrection of thee rising in the soul there is such an harmonious company there is such an abundance of thine when thou putest the earth to silence Oh put the earth to silence that so they may come to the glorious stature of the Lord Jesus which none can fathom nor reach the depth thereof Oh that poor creatures might not heare of a Jehovah of Righteousnesse but that they might also receive thee thou sentest down a Ladder to the earth the humane nature of Christ to gather up our Nature to the Divine Oh how did that humane Nature appear at the bottom of the Ladder upon the earth oh what steps did he tread what steps in the Divine Nature to gather up Humane Nature into it thy poor shall lead up to the top you are kept by the mighty power of God unto salvation Oh it is good to walk up that Ladder where there is such precious Aire and such sparkling Stars where there is not only seven daies light but seven thousand such as none can number Oh how can any get near unto thee if they will throw away the Ladder poor hearts they marvellously mistake you cannot come to the Father but by the Son you must take both together therefore this Rest came forth that so there might bee a compleatnesse that there might bee nothing wanting every way what a perfect rest is the Lord Jesus Oh dear Christ dear Christ can any that have taken thee in hear thee vilified couldst not thou keep silence concerning them and can they indure to hear thee contemned to hear thee to be called onely a Form and to cal themselves a Christ How can they chuse but say wee will have a Scripture Christ O dear Rest the declaration of thee is marvellous sweet the Declaration tels of thee that thou art the true rest in the power thereof Here she seemed to have ' over-flowings of joy and delight in spirit and poured out her heart in a Song as follows OH thou art Rest eternal Rest unto thy chiliren dear Yea through the great Creation thou brings thy Rest them near Thou wouldst have all things have a rest that in the earth do breath Yea also a Rest unto Fishes thou dost to them bequeath Oh see and learn of Plants and Trees of Gardens and the Fields A rest there 's from the mighty Lord which he unto them yeelds The Creatures they have rest much more such that have sense breath Their rest is higher then the other cause they are th' Commonwealth That they might be maintained for the Sons of men herein Therefore a rest thou dost provide and quietnesse thou bringst in Calling the earth and all therein to be in silence and To stay from gathering up the field to accommodate the land O what an increase through a rest there is in the wide sea An increase is in every thing brought forth out of the clay O land thou doest through rest come forth with great increase unto Of strength and otherwaies from such that thou bringst men unto What are the birds and cattell there whereon man is fed Thou art a rest to weary man who forth and in is led O shall all things that here do crall and beasts that hang their head Be more in praises to the Lord then those whom Christ is head For they after their kindes doe praise much more then shall ensue When that the Lord makes kindness come thorow all he will renew Love he doth multiply indeed upon the sons of men That he might screw them to the top of his

glory in heaven That they might not like muckworms be and like such creatures which Have no sense for to reach to him which is their king and liege O he is a rest that requires all his to draw him neer And they shal have ful sights of things which in Creation are For he will shew that Sabbath and first day he will bring out Vnto his Saints and he onely shall draw the quintesence out Of all things they shall draw the sap that runneth from the root And get up into the high tree where none shall go and pluck No none shall be above to see thine when th' are in thy nest For they are closed in so round they lodge within that breast That none can scar nor them afflict no musquet shot can come There is not any can draw their spears or at all shoot their Canon Though nests in trees may shaken be yet thine shall e'r remaine They rest and nest in Jesus Christ his hand shall them sustain Here closing her song she proceeded without any pause to prayer therein uttering here and there as the Relatour could take them the things following The poore carcasse shall moulder before thy being through a fight of thy bosom thine are dazled in thy nest they see none of their own feathers but a new nest of thy own making the very victualls dye before thee that eternall life that is sweeter than naturall life than all strength all naturall parts what are these to it Father when thou withdrawest thy glory from thy handmaid thou shalt leave so much heat as shall refresh the body and her health shall return again from thee to her thou wilt give her strength to persevere to the end Oh when shall men speak forth from the demonstration of thy Spirit when shall they go forth in thy garments not their garments not with their Surplices and Tippets Oh no they say these they have abhorred and put off Oh but they speak their University language their head-piece language their own sense Oh but where is the voice of the new Covenant-teaching are not they hid and concealed the Beast hath got in his foot and hath mudded the waters men are mudded they speak a little of the new Covenant a little of thee and a great deal of themselves but thine have hope in thee they have confidence that way shall be made that shall be brought to light which is thine indeed men shall not alwayes be content with the outward relation of the word without the whisperings of thy spirit Oh saith Christ when I come forth with my power and spirit and Majesty then there shall be more converted now they think they have done a great matter if they have spoken twice a day Oh but have they had spirituall appetites is there quicknesse in them is the Lord Jesus more drawn and set forth by them let them wait that the Lord will come forth more than he did upon the Primitive Saints that there were longing and panting after thy coming Here she closed for that day upon the 16 day the Relatour came in and found her in prayer wherein she uttered among other things these which follow the chamber being as at other times full of hearers If he were not speaking of the Lord Cromwell backsliden he would be ashamed of his great pomp and revenue whiles the poore are ready to starve and art thou providing great Palaces Oh this was not Gideon of old oh why dost thou come to rear up the pillars the stones which are laid aside tell him Lord thou art come down to have a controversie with him Oh sin will lay thee flat to the earth Oh sin will bring down a dark smoke into thy judgement oh sin will hinder that judgement thou intendest to bring forth in the earth oh Gideon is it thy Statesmen shall carry on the work of the Lord when they are together in brain-work What is an head-piece to an heart-piece O dost thou think to joyn hand in hand with head-pieces Oh thou thinkest because I cry out for heart-pieces for thee thou thinkest hardly jealously of me Oh but thou art deceived I am for the Lord Jesus alone it is neither advantage nor disadvantage to me who is set up or who is thrown down here below for thy servant O Lord is for that pure interest of Jesus Who would care a rush or a straw for the interest of man What are they that are of his chief Councell they are the chief men in the places of Judicature but saith the Lord I have said that the Righteous who are choice who are dead to all outward things they shall be my Judges but they will say oh but they are godly too but saith the Lord they are such godly as I will none of for they are ready to joyn with any corrupt party that comes forth they will own any thing and say unto any you are my King so they may have their fat and Fleeces and all bow down to them Oh but know the Lord is the great Redeemer in Israell and he is risen now and will break all yokes as fast as they can put them on Because the Pastors of Churches some of them do own thee will the Lord therefore own thee Oh no the Lord will own such only who are true in heart and in his sight some of these have made as great an Alarum as others and have appeared as much as others but now if they must suffer a little they will flie oh this is a base frame of spirit sayes Christ where is a spirit for me thou art going up and down the earth to seek where is a spirit for thee that will cast down the Jezabels there are but a few such but they are beautifull ones Oh thy servant hardly knows a volunteere that will go forth though they be slashed in the first going on but thou knowest where such are oh fetch them out of their Cottages and holes where they lie in obscurity they have kept their garments clean Israel would have a King if you will have a King saies God you shall have him in my wrath so it is now people are of such a mad frame of spirit when the Lord sayes do not do thus they say they will do so like old Israel who were murmuring upon every occasion because thou hast declared concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus and wilst give them Judges as at the first therefore because thou doest not give them presently therefore they will not stay but will have their own first when the Resurrection did appeare presently the very Disciples were doubting and begun to scruple so it is now thine have hardly faith to believe the second coming of the Lord Jesus Oh say they we thought it had been by this time but now we see it is not yet but for a longer time Lord let it be sounded in their ears and let them mark it there will be as great superfluity as great
