A VISITION OF LOVE unto all PEOPLE In whose hearts there are any true honest tender desires begotten towards God and his righteousness In what sect or opinion or profession soever they be in which is not in the Light Especially unto such who hath felt something of the workings of the life and Power of God in them and yet notwithstanding hath been led by the subtilty of the Serpent from the life and power of God into many Sects and opinions and forms which are without the life and Power of God and herein the subtil workings and devices of the Serpent whereby he deceives the hearts of the simple is clearly made manifest And this is written in tender Love unto all of you who feel something stirring in you that is not satisfied with all the words that ever you have heard from man or woman nor yet with all the practices and performances that ever you have practiced and performed in all the Sects and opinions and Profession that ever you have been in And here the pure and living way is declared whereby every particular who returns to this way and believe and wait in it shall come to receive a particular satisfaction unto that in them the seed which never yet they could witness satisfied in all the Sects and opinions they have been in which is out of Christ the light which is the new and living way By a labourer in the power of Truth which doth make free for the deliverance and freedom of the Righteous Seed George Fox the younger LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1659. A visitation of love unto all people in whose hearts there are any true honest tender desires begotten towards God and his Righteousnesse in what sect or opinion or profession soever they be in which is not in the Light Friends GOd the higher Power unto whom the soul is to be subject he only hath immortality and dwelleth in the Light and he is Light And he hath freely given his Son into the world by whom the World was made for a covenant of Light and he is the true Light which lighteth every one that commeth into the World that all men through him might believe who is the Word of God in whom is Life and that life marke is the light of men and the pure grace of God which bringeth salvation by which the Saints are freely justified hath appeared unto all men yea the Eternal God of truth hath appeared unto you in his Son Jesus Christ the true Light and with this Light hath God made manifest unto you your sin and evil deeds and with the measure of the Light of his Son in you sometimes hath he appeare in his mighty power whereby he hath smitten you for your sins and evil deeds and he by his power hath broken you into tenderness brought you down into lowliness for a time and then by his unresistible power thus working in you did he beget a holy Seed from whence pure desires and breathings after God hath often arose in you which seed could not nor cannot be satisfied without Gods living presence Now ye not standing in the power which convinced you and smote you and broke you into tendernesse and brought you down and then begot a holy Seed in you from whence a pure unfained love to God hath oft sprung marke you not minding the workings and movings of this power in you nor walting in it for to receive counsel you entered into reasonings and thoughts which the subtilty which is the Devil presented in you and so ye hearkned not to Gods voice the power which had wrought so in you but you entred into reasonings with the substilty which abode not in the power and this begot a questioning in you what that should be which had so appeared in you and broken you into such a tendernesse and had wrought such a suddain change in you which you were not able to resist And ye going into the reasonings in your minds thus you turned from the pure power of God and then sin which separateth from Gods presence which he by his power worketh in you had in measure smitten and brought downe in you arose again and got the dominion in you and so you going thus from the power wherein ye should have waited to have been preserved in the tendernesse ye soon lost the tendernesse and fear which the power had wrought in you and then hardnesse of heart soon grew in you again and then the seed which God had begotten in you which cannot be satisfied without his presence that began to be sorely oppressed in you by the sin which separates from Gods presence which got up more and more in you through your turning from the power which ye once felt manifested and working in you against sin And then a grievous weight or burthen came upon the righteous seed in you and then it began to groan and cry to God from under the burthen and weight of iniquity that was upon it and then the Light appeared more brighter in you again for the seeds sake which suffered in you and shewed you that you were wrong then the Light judged you for the wrong and then trouble came upon you and encreased in your minds and then the Serpent the subtilty the devil which abode not in the truth he appeared likewise in you and begot a hurrying and a confused noise in your minds and then presented many things unto you and sturred you up to do them that so he might draw ye from hearkening unto the Light wherein you should have waited to have heard and known Gods voice and council and to have seen and heard what God had required at your hands and thus the subtilty which is the Devil who was a murtherer from the beginning and abode not in the truth sought to draw you from the Light which is the truth that so he might murther the Righteous seed which God had begotten in you unto which seed the promises are Now your minds being drawn from the Light which convinced you of sin you entred further into sin and then you could not find any power for to resist sin because you went from the light which shewed you your sin where in ye should have waited to have received power against sin and then the seed suffered in you by the sin which ye were entred into exceedingly and trouble increased more and more in your mindes this hath been the condition of some of you and then the subtilty drew you into reasonings consultings what to do that so the burthen which you felt and the trouble in your mindes might be removed So ye hearkning unto the subtilty he then presented several things unto you to be done some of which once were commanded by God to be done by them unto whom the command came and so the subtilty perswaded you that ye must do those things likwise before ye could have peace and witness the
