LOVE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION Or. The Letter Directions of Robert Rich to M. John Raynes For The Distributing his BENEVOLENCE TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES in LONDON Mr. John Raynes MY last to you was the 17th of February with a Copy of the 19th of October 1665. both which were in answer to yours of the 13th of June and 17th of October 1665. These may inform you That in the month of December 1666 by the way of Ireland we received the sad and deplorable Intelligence of London's destruction by Fire wherewith the Beauty and Glory of that City is like Sodom turned into ashe● which when I had understood and throughly pendered I did impart my thoughts to your Brother Mr. Francis Raynes to this effect viz. That this Calamity would be so universal and extensive that multitudes must of necessity be cast upon great Extremities of Want and Misery and that now was a fit opportunity for all to hold out a hand of Charity towards their distressed Brethren To which purpose I had you upon my Heart to write unto you when our Fleet went which have been detained until now to dispose of that 210 l. in your hands Now Sir as touching your proceedings in this business of my Request that these Seven Churches with all others might more fully discern the mind of my Lord in this figure of Love and Amity to them I think it meet for to let you know that I have something already written to each of those seven Congregations which in the fulness of time may be presented to their view Hold●ng forth the Everlasting Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Christ in us the Saving health and Vniversal free Grace of God ready to revealed to all Nation S●●ts and People Together with a Declaration or Testimonial of that dear Love and Vnity which my Soul hath to all that fear God and work Righteousness and not only to such but likewise to the Rebellious Disobedient and worst of Sinners Also something I have to offer concerning the New Creation Gods Workmanship in Christ Jesus that which mine eyes have seen and hands have handled of the Word of Life of things that now are and must shortly come to pass when the Son in man the New Birth shall more abundantly be revealed which as yet is a great Mystery to many and hath been long hid from Ages and Generations of formal Professors of Godliness that have wanted the Power of Love or Christ Jesus that Spirit working all their works in them and for them but is now making himself manifest in all that are Borne again of his Spirit and Baptized with that Water of Life which regenerateth and keepeth clean the heart That chast Virgin that only bringeth forth the Man-child and second Adam who is Heir of all things and the Saviour of All that believe and follow him Who enlightens every one with the knowledge of good that cometh into the World This is he that was and now is and is yet to come to all succeeding Generations of whom all the Prophets from Moses until John bare Record Hallelujah Whose day Abraham saw and rejoyced as do all that have Christ the Unction in them who onely and alone open●th Mysteries and doth ●each to sing the Song of Moses and the Lamb Hallelujah whos 's Star of old led as his Spirit doth now lead all the wise in heart both to find and also to worship him acceptably according to his Law Mind and Will written therein Even him that is the Rock of Ages whose Body and Blood our Fathers did in the Wilderness as at Jerusalem taste of and which we their Children that are Heirs of the same promised Spirit do now eat and drink the Bread from Heaven which is not carnal but nourisheth the Soul into a Life and Kingdom that fadeth not away but endureth forever Hallelujah And now dear Sir Having in part acquainted you with the reason of my intended proceedings my next care is what I can to lessen your trouble to which end I think it the best way to propound three of each sort of People chief amongst them as Overseers of the rest men of good report into whose hands the 30 l. may be delivered as a sign of my Love and by them be distributed amongst those of their way who are in need sickness or any other kind of Adversity which is according to the way first propounded as also agreeable to a List herein inclosed to you And because you formerly seemed to scruple the giving of 30 l. to the Roman Catholicks I have therefore written to three of my old Acquaintance viz. to Mr. Bacon Mr. William Blackborow and Mr. Rawlinson desiring their eare and pains in the disposing of that money as also of the 30 l. given to the Church of the first born according to the List aforesaid who will I doubt no readily assist you in any service of Love that concerns the Affairs of this business whensoever you shall please to require it of them Finally When the whole sum shall be according to my Request disposed of my earnest desire is That you will be pleased to transmit unto me the names of those Persons who shall undertake to distribute the sum that so I may have the fairer opportunity to bequeath to them those future Pledges and further Testimonies of my Love which I have received from the Spirit of Truth for to distribute unto the several Tribes and Families of the earth that all may know his name to be one viz. Love in Truth as proceeding out of Josephs Store-house or rather from Jesus that true and faithful Witness who brought into Peace and Rest the whole Tabernacle of Witnesses in all Ages not only into the possession of the Gentilss but also into Heaven it self the full number of Sealed Ones even one hundred and fourty four thousand the whole Land of Hallelujahs where he now appears in us our Song and Crown our Joy and Glory Hallelujah O. Emanuel fill thou the bredth of thy Land even the whole Earth with thy blessed Seed of Love to Enemies which bruiseth the head of Enmity Hallelujah that they may stand as Saviours on the Top of Mount Gerizim which by Interpretation is as Mount Ziou the Mountaine of God Love there to Judge and Bless the Mount of Esau viz. Gods whole Creation according to the same Pattern or Spirit of loving Kindness wherewith God hath Judged and Saved us So will the Kingdoms of this world be made the Lords and his Christs who must reign for ever Hallelujah to God on high on Earth peace and good will ●o all things that ever he made who made the wicked for a day Hallelujah to him who is and none else where old things are passed away and can behold all things made a new Hallelujah to our King who ruleth who ruleth in every thing Amen Hallelujah Now Sir if you should complain that I have been tedious and troublesome in This work I shall easily acknowledge both and
