the Trees of the Wood and sit down under his Shaddow and find his Fruit brought forth by his Working and your Passiveness pleasant to the Taste so neither will nor run for the Battel is not to the Strong nor the Race to the Swift and here you will learn the Mystery of your Resting from all your Labours that he may work and you not let and as you are brought to be truly passive as the Clay in the Hand of the Potter let but him even the Lord Strong and Mighty arise and in his Arisings your Enemies will be scattered So the Lord God Almighty open your Understandings clearly in these things which are indeed of Eternal Concernment and lead you and guide you to the Fountain of Living Waters where you may be abundantly refreshed consolated and strengthned to grow strong in the Lord and in the Power of his Might And unto you whom the Love of God hath reached in making manifest the Way of Truth in which you should walk and who have received the Truth and made Profession and Confession thereof but have not nor do not obey from the Heart and all you who have tasted of the good Word of God and of the Power of the World to come and have and do turn aside and backslide from the Way of the Lord following the Lusts of your own Hearts and Desires of your own Eyes professing the Truth and in some Measure are in Outward Conformity unto it who profess to love God but love the World and the things thereof who are Double-minded and Unstable in your Wayes who would serve two Masters and be Heirs of two Kingdoms who from day to day come amongst the People of the Lord who are Children of the Light and of the Day but still stand in that Nature that is Corrupt and although in the Assemblies of the Lord's People such may be often smitten and the Way in which they should walk is manifest and their By-Ways and Crooked Ways discovered yet notwithstanding the many Reproofs of Instruction continue in the same Nature and Spirit and all Foolish Virgins who have a Lamp but have no Oyl all who have only receiv'd the Seed in the High-Way Stony and Thorny Grounds who therein brings forth no Fruit to Perfection but Dishonour the Name of him who hath sowed the good Seed being one thing in Name and another in Nature and all you who have lost your First Love and all you who have a Name to live but are dead and all you who are Luke-warm Ones neither Hot nor Cold who account your selves Rich and increased in Goods but are indeed inwardly Wretched Miserable Poor Blind and Naked hear the Counsel of the Mighty God concerning you Ye are the People with whom the Spirit of the Lord will not alwayes strive ye are the People who are the Sloathful Servants not improving the Talent given and communicated unto you ye are the People that turn from the Grace of God into Wantonness ye are the Backsliding Generation ye are those who make an Image and a Likeness and are content therewith without S●bstance it self ye are the People who profefs God his Light Life Grace and Holy Way of Truth in Words but deny him in Works and are not Possessors of him ye are those who dishonour the Worthy Name of the Lord amongst the Heathen laying Stumbling-blocks in the Way of those who might come into the Way of Truth ye are Lovers of the Unrighteous Mammon and your Minds Hearts Understandings and Capacities are therefore set on work to compass it ye are in Esau's Nature selling

Mankind from off the Earth and when Men began to multiply upon the face of the Earth the old Enemy led them to build that which God took no Delight in and therefore he came down and confounded them and scattered them but Abraham he called from his Fathers House beyond the Flood who obey'd the Voice of God and believ'd in him and did cleave to the Lord with all his Heart and Soul and obey'd to whom the Lord promised To multiply his Seed as the Starrs of Heaven and as the Sand on the Sea-shore and covenanted with him in the Circumcision and gave him Isaac in which the Seed was called of whom this Seed was to spring that was to be as the Sand of the Sea and Stars of Heaven then Abraham being required to offer him up reasoned not with the Lord nor disobeyed the Voice of his Maker but took the Lad and the Wood and the Knife and went to the Land of Moriah to the Mount which the Lord had shewed him but the Lord after he had proved him spared Isaac and the Ram was offer'd up of which Isaac came Jacob in whom the Seed was multiplied which Jacob wrestled with the God of his Fathers for a Blessing and prevailed with God and then was named Israel of whom came the Children that went down into Aegypt to Joseph who was hated of his Brethren because of his Dreams afterwards Israel multiplied into a People who were Oppressed by Pharaoh who knew not Joseph and would have destroyed the Seed of Israel and have hindred them from multiplying howbeit God preserv'd Moses that goodly Child who was drawn out of the Waters who when he was keeping his Father-in-Law Jethro's Sheep and drave them to the Backside of the Desart and came to Horeb the Mountain of God then the Lord appeared in the Bush in a Flame of Fire saying I have surely seen the Affliction of my People which are in Fgypt and have heard their Cries by reason of their Task-Masters for I know their Sorrow and the Lord God by the Hand of Moses wrought Wonders in the Land of Egypt and plagued Pharaoh and brought Israel out of Egypt's I and by an Out-stretched Arm and by a Mighty Hand through the Red Sea on the Banks of which they sang the Song of Deliverance but the same Enemy that stirred up Pharoah to oppress them and hinder them from coming out of Egypt moved in their Hearts to disobey the Lord and to-draw them from a Belief in that Power which had so signally delivered them howbeit the Merciful God of Jacob healed the Waters and notwithstanding caused the Manna to come down Morning by Morning to seed them he also smote the Flinty Rock and brought forth Waters after they thus murmured he brought them to Sinai where the Glory of the Lord appeared and there gave them a Law and Precepts but notwithstanding they had seen the Wonderful Hand of the Lord and his signal Deliverances were fed and preserved by him yet they murmured in their Hearts against the Lord and through the Workings of the same subtil Enemy to whom they gave way made Godds of Gold and in their Hearts would have gone back again unto Egypt and Rebelled against the Lord and so the Enemy of Mankind the Devil prevailed that after the Spies had spied the Land they murmured against the Lord and against his Servants so as that the Lord destroyed them and their Carkases sell in the Wilderness to whom the Promise was save Joshua and Caleb Men of another Spirit howbeit Joshua led their Children over Jordan to possess the Land of Canaan unto whom the Lord was good and performed all the good Things promised and they drave forth the Inhabitants of the Land and inhabited it and here the Enemy Satan prevailed again so that Jesurum waxed sat even thick and kicked and then he forsook God that made him and lightly esteemed the Rock of his Salvation and went and served other Godds and the Lord delivered them into their Enemies Hands howbeit when they were brought low the Lord heard their Cries and delivered them by the Hands of many Instruments which he raised up as Judges and Kings in Israel even unto the time of David who sound Favour before God and desired to find a Tabernacle for the God of Jacob by whom he delivered Israel who went out in the Strength of the Mighty God and sought their Battels whose Heart loved the Lord whose Name is a Sweet Memorial but Solomon his Son built a House for the God of Jacob and the Temple that was a Figure and the Lord was with him and Israel and his Glotious Presence was amongst them howbeit the Old Subtil Enemy that deceived Adam turned Solomon's Heart from following the Lord to follow other Godds and built a Place for the Godds of the Heathen after which the Enemy fill'd the Heart of Jeroboam to do wickedly and Israel departed from the Lord howbeit the Lord sent his Prophets arising early to whom they did despitefully even to John a Prophet and Fore-runner of the Messiah whom they beheaded and slew the Just One the Anointed of the Lord and believed not on him who was the Heir notwithstanding the Mighty Works which he did who was manifest in due time taking not on himself the Nature of Angels but the Seed of Abraham who sent the Comforter the Spirit of Truth the Holy Ghost which came upon the Disciples and filled them through whom the Power of the Most High God was signally manifest smiteing Thousands at the Heart and in that Day many were added to the Church and great Grace was upon them and there was in that Blessed Day of the great Appearance of the Mighty God daily the Revealings and Manifestings of his Eternal Power so that great Fear came on the Regions round about and the Word of God grew but presently the Roaring Lion that through Ages went about to destroy the Appearance of the Lord God by his Power stirred in the Hearts of the Ungodly to oppose that Appearance over whom the mighty Power of the Lord gave his Servants much Victory yet he ceased not but transformed as an Angel of Light and in his Instruments wrought to draw People from the Power of Godliness into the Form of Godliness and brought in damnable Heresies privily through his Instruments that arose amongst the People of the Lord and in that day he wrought powerfully that notwithstanding the Church was in the Glorious Splendor of the Heavenly Celestial Life as a Woman cloathed with the Sun having the Moon under her Feet and on her Head a Crown of twelve Stars and travelled and brought forth the Man-Child who was to rule the Nations with a Rod of Iron yet he in the Appearance of a Red Dragon who had the seven Heads and ten Horns and seven Crowns on his Heads stood ready to devour the Man-Child but he was caught up to God and to his Throne and the Woman having two Wings as

Land spiritual and have been by that Arm brought forth and are now travelling in the Wilderness wherein you meet with many Tryals and find the Snares and Temptations of the Enemy strong and many and are ready therewith sometimes to be overwhelmed and to faint in your Minds unto you my Heart and Soul yearns and for you do my Bowels turn dear Lambs and Babes hear the Counsel of the Lord unto you in his endless Love his Care is over you that are and will be Obedient unto him He will carry you his Lambs in his Bosom and gently lead all that are with Young look not at your own Weakness not at the Temptations of the Enemy neither at the Nature yet remaining which receives the Temptations but look to the Lord and believe in his Power trust in the Sufficiency of his Grace and let the Waves beat and the Billows of Temptation go over stand you still and ye shall know that he is God who changeth not who in his own time will lift up his Standard against your Enemies who by the Arm of his own Power can make all your and his Enemies as Ashes under the Soals of your Feet and here you shall know that the Everlasting God the Creator of the Ends of the Earth doth not sail neither is he weary he

in his Power your Enemies to destroy the Appearance whereof your Soul loaths and abhors even you that cannot take up a Rest or Delight in any perishing fading thing but over all Mortality cries for a Saviour and Deliverer neither can be satisfied with a Name to live but cries to live to God whose Souls Pant after the Loving Kindness of the Lord as the Hart panteth after the Water-Brooks whose Tongues sometimes even fail for Thirst after the Living Enjoyment of the Living God You are beloved of my Soul your Travel I know in the Experience thereof lift up your Heads in the Name of the Mighty God and be no more bowed down through your long Infirmity believe in the Anointed of the Lord on whom your Help is laid touch but the Hem of his Garment and Vertue comes forth of him to heal your diseased inward Man and when the Enemy by all his Power and Strength would endeavour to destroy your Hope believe in Hope against Hope even against the Hope of the Enemy and look not at all at your own Deadness nor barren Womb but believe in the God of Abraham and the Seed you shall know that shall be Heir through whom to you the Inheritance shall be sure and never stagger at the Promise because it is not presently fulfilled but believe which is the Work of God and it shall be imputed to you for Righteousness and in due time the Barren bears and neither Eleazer nor the Son of the Bond-Woman shall inherit for that the Promises are Yea and Amen to the Seed and to all who are in the Seed Learn the Mystery of Faith which is held in a pure Conscience which is the Substance of things not seen and the very Evidence of things hoped for and here your Strength will be renewed Cast not away your Confidence for that hath a Reward nor let go your Hope which is as an Anchor both sure and stedfast but as I said before Believe in the Lord and diligently wait upon him never go to Battel against the Lord's and your Souls Enemies in your own Strength nor Reason with the Enemies Appearances and Temptations in your own Reason nor consult concerning his Appearance in your own Thoughts and Cogitations Beware I warn you in the Name and Love of God of kindling Sparks of your own which is very incident to all thus exercised for the Product and Effect is to ●ie down in Sorrow thereof but sink ye down into the
