out of the Evil that is in the World by which we have been crucified unto the World and its Glory and the many Sinful Customs and Fashions that are of it and in it and by which we have been led into a Holy Innocent Conversation And by and in this Faith we do live to God and in it are we brought to Love God Uprightly and to serve him with our whole strength For this Faith is his own Gift which hath wrought by Love in us Effectually to the purifying of our Hearts and Spirits which were defill'd with sin And in this Holy Faith is our Religion and Worship Pure and is of the Pure God and so is accepted by him and we have the Witness of this in our own Hearts And we do certainly know that we are of God by his Spirit which he hath given us And this is the one standing Faith which is God's Gift in which the Pure Standing Unchangeable Worship of God is again renew'd and set up among'st us as it was in the Apostles dayes Glory yea Glory be to the Lord God forever whose day of Light and Life is now again made manifest in and unto us as it was in the Apostles dayes and it shines Gloriously among'st us to our great Consolation O the Glory the Glory of the Lord God! O how doth it shine in the Assemblies of the Righteous Overcoming Refreshing and Melting the Hearts of the Upright and making them more glad then they that have great increase of Corn and Wine and Oyle And we can truly say The Lord hath dealt bountifully with us our Lot is fallen in a Fruitful Hill and we have a goodly Inheritance and this is our Inheritance The everlasting Power and Wisdom of the Lord our God whereby we are redeem'd out of the Evil that is in the World and through Faith in the same are upheld in Purity wherein our Peace and Joy is great at this day and no man can take it from us And my dear Friends I know the Lord God is daily encreasing your Faith who have been freely given up to suffer for Righteousness sake so that you can say with the Prophet Though there be no Flocks in the Fold and though the Fruits of the Earth be taken from you for your pure Obedience unto God yet can you not Murmur at it but do still Rejoyce in the Lord God of your Salvation and can cast your Care upon him knowing he doth care for you as a Tender Father for his Tender and Obedient Children And my dear Friends Though all the false Worshippers and Apostates upon the whole Earth should joyn together and seek to destroy our Testimony and pure Faith and pure Worship yet can they never do it But the Testimony and Faith and Worship into which we are gather'd by the Lord our God it shall stand and remain when all their Fighting Persecuting and Blood-thirsty Faiths and Religions and Worships and False Testimonies are gone and ended And we shall yet live to Praise the Lord our God notwithstanding all the Rage and Fury of our Enemies And though Sufferings may attend us for a little time yet will they be ended in the Lord's Time and he doth suffer us to be try'd but it is not in Enmity to us but in Love that we may be gather'd unto him out of all things which perish with the using and that we may know him to be our Strength and that he may shew forth his Vertue and Power in us in our Sufferings and that People who sit in Darkness and whose Hearts are set on Earthly Things may see that he hath redeem'd a People from the Earth who can suffer the Loss of all earthly Enjoyments rather then to deny their Testimony Faith and Religion which he hath call'd them into And by Friends Faithfulness herein is the Lord God Glorified and the Understandings of People opened and they come to see the difference betwixt those who do profess Christ in words and Faithful Friends who do enjoy him in Life and Power And so the Wise Man's House upon the Rock comes to be known from the Fool 's House upon the Sand that so those who are dissatisfied with the Dead Huskey False Worships that are in the World may know where to centre and sit down even with us who are become the Flock and Heritage of the Lord God And God's Worship in the Spirit and in the Truth which he hath set up among'st us and into which we are gather'd it must spread over the Nations and Kingdoms of the World and the Nations and Kingdoms of this World must become our God's and his Christ's as it is written This hath the Lord God Decreed and all his Enemies cannot reverse nor alter this his Decree And God will certainly throw down all the Fighting Persecuting Blood-thirsty Faiths and Worships and Religions upon the Face of the Earth which have been set up in the Fallen Earthly and Sensual and Divilish-wisdom of Wicked Men about which they have shed the Blood of many Innocent People who have been taught of God and therefore could not bow unto their Devilish Inventions And the Living Powerful Almighty Dreadful God before whom all the strength of his Enemies is but as a Thred of Tow in the bot fiery Flame he is risen to execute his Judgments upon the Old Red Draggon the Devil who hath made the Nations like the Raging Sea throwing forth Mire and Dirt and hath set People to devour one another about Religion Faith and Worship like Wolves Lions and Dogs And the Lord God will certainly Plague him and Bind him and REDEEM the Nations from under his Accursed power And the Great Whore who hath been drunk with the Blood of the Saints who have kept the Testimony of Jesus which is the Spirit of Prophesie Her will God judge and the Beast and False Prophets and all whose Hands and Hearts are defiled with shedding Innocent Blood the Wrath Indignation of the Lord God will be heavy upon them And God will certainly Waste Consume and Confound with his Righteous Judgments the Stock and Root of the Wicked and Ungodly and will Rout Wickedness and Ungodliness out of the Nations of the Earth and will plant the Nations with Righteousness Holiness and Purity that so he may be Exalted over all the Works of his Hands And the Lamb Christ Jesus the Prince of Life and Peace who comes not to destroy mens Lives but to save them He must have the Victory over the Dragon Beast Whore and False Prophets whose Work hath been and still is to destroy both the Souls and Bodies of People And all Nations that come to be sav'd must walk in the Light of the Lamb Christ Jesus in which Light we do now Raign with him over all Deceit and over all the false Worships in the World notwithstanding our outward Sufferings for our Raign is Spiritual and Inward AND all Friends who are newly convinced or such who may be Young
