A Salutation to the litle flock Who doe choose Christ to be their Rock Lift up your heads in the light of Christ for the day of your redemption draws near With a message from the Lord alone For the healing of the sicke and wounded one And an exhortation unto all to give up unto the death that they may be crown'd with life DEar and tender Babes Lambs and Children whome my heavenly Father hath begotten unto himself by the immortal seed of the word of life which lives and abides for ever Unto you doe I send greeting in the overflowings of my heavenly Fathers love which he hath caused to stream forth in me towards you Dear hearts you are so near and dear unto me that I have been and am overcome with love as I have felt many of you in the bosome of the Father which is open to receive you as you sink down out of your selves for that is the Babes state unto which the Kingdome belongs which is not in word but in power whereby ye are preserved Oh!

let the high praises of the Lord be in your mouths and then the two edged sword will be in your hands for they are inseperable for the Lord our God is fearfull in his praises by them are the righteous ladded and the wicked astonished and tormented for when the righteous seed sings for joy of heart the wicked shall weep and howl for vexation of Spirit and so the Spirit of truth which is to lead you into all truth and so into the joy of the Master the which shall be the condemnation and torment of the wicked and the day of their destruction drawes near for the Lord will pleade with all flesh by his sword and by fire and a consumption is determined by the Lord upon all flesh and he will terribly shake the Earth that all may be overturned and removed that may be shaken that he may be the All in the rising of his glorious day which is at hand Oh! be not daunted or dismayed although the Sea may swell the Lion like nature roar and the Devil may rage yet they shall never prevail against the least Babes as they abide in the faith but the least shall be as David and the litle one as a strong Nation although the troubles and trials of the righteous seed be many so that sorrow may endure for a night yet joy will come in the morning that those which suffer with Christ shall reign with him over all the powers of Hell and darkness both within and without Litle Children wait to see and feel him to arise in your own perticulers who is to set our foot upon the Egiptian Sea of darkness from whence the boisterous waves of all strife and contention arise about outward things and outward formes of worship wherein the true power of God hath been wanting that there may be no more appearance of Sea as to disturbe your peace but his foot you may feel to keep it under until the tongue of that Egiptian Sea be dried up that there may be no Mountains of drie Land in your way but that one foot may stand on the Earth also that the Mountain of his holyness may be established on the top of the Mountains that the Sea of glas mingled with fire a River as cleer as Christ all flowing from the Throne of God ye may see and feel where the Antient of dayes sits who will judge the whore the false Prophet and the Beast which is all that may be numbred up which is on the mans part that man may cease from his labour and sore travel that peace may be upon Earth and all the glory may be to God on high that the good will may be to men that no root of bitterness may ever more arise that sendeth forth bitter springs which occasioneth the meek to fall as they drink thereof therefore dear Children drink ye alwayes of the pure fresh pleasant springs that arise from the pure Fountain of all vertue go not forth but in the light dwell and then shall you be salted seasoned and swadled with the love of God that the banner of his love may be over you and then the noise of war will be no more heard amongst the Camp of God on mans part for the battel is the Lords and he will fight it therefore fear not but stand still and see the salvation of God for the Lord will bring to passe his work his great work his Act his strange Act for the Kingdoms of this World shall become the Kingdoms of the Lord and his Christ yea he shall rule amongst the Children of men for the Kingdom is his the power glory honour victory triumph and pure refreshings are his Oh!
