TO THE Churches of Jesus Throughout the VVORLD Gathered and setled in his Eternal Light Power and Lpirit to be One Holy Flock Family and Houshould to the Lord who hath Redeemed them from among all the Kindreds of the Earth Godly Zeal Wisdom Power Perseverance and Victory with all heavenly Blessings be multiplied among you in the Name of the Lord. DEAR Friends and Brethren who have been visited with the fatherly Visitation from on high and have received God's eternal Word and Testament in your Hearts by which you have been gathered home to Christ Jesus the true Shepherd from all the Idol-Shepherds and their barren Mountains and unprofitable Hills where you have been scattered in that dark and gloomy Day of Apostacy and by his Light Spirit and Power have been convinced of sin righteousness and judgment and can say The Prince of this World is judged by his holy righteous and powerful Appearance in you unto whom all Judgment in Heaven Earth is committed who is the blessed Lamb of God the Light Saviour of the World who is King of Salem and Prince of Peace My Soul loves you with everlasting Love even with the Love with which my God and your God my Father and your Father hath loved me and visited my Soul and your Souls in this do I dearly salute and embrace you all in this the Day of the fulfilling of his glorious Promises to his Church in the Wilderness and Witnesses in Sack-cloth And O magnified be his Name and everlastingly praised and renowned be his holy Power and Arm by which he hath reached unto us and brought Salvation near us For he hath found us out and hath heard our solitary Cryes the deep and mournful Supplications of our bowed Spirits when we were as the little silly Dove without its Mate and the lonely Pelican in the Wilderness when we were ready to cry out Is there none to save is there none to help O when shall the Time Times and Half a Time be finisht when shall the One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Dayes be accomplisht and when shall the Abomination that stands in the Holy Place be cast out when shall the Captivity of the People be turned back O when shall Babylon come into Remembrance before God Dragon Beast and False Prophet be cast into the Lake And when shall the Law go forth out of Sion and the Word of the Lord out of Jerusalem When shall Sion become the Joy and Jerusalem the Praise of the whole Earth And when shall the the Earth be covered with the Knowledge of the Lord as the Waters cover the Sea Friends The Lord of Heaven and Earth hath heard our Cryes and the full time is come yea the appointed time is come and the Voice of the Eternal Spirit in our Hearts hath been heard on this wise many a time Awake thou that sleepest and I will give thee Life arise out of the Dust and shine for thy Light is come and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee And the Lord God hath given us that Light by which we have comprehended the Darkness in ourselves and in the World and as we have believed in it dwelt in it and walked in it we have received Power to overcome the Evil one in all his Appearances in our selves and faithfully and boldly to testifie against him in the World And the Blood of Jesus in this holy way of the Light have we felt in our Souls to cleanse us from all Unrighteousness and given us to know the Mystery of the Fellowship of the Gospel one with another which stands in Life and immortality And here we become an holy houshold and family unto God that live in his Presence Day and Night to do his Will as becometh his redeemed and ransomed Children by the most precious Blood of his Son and no more to return to Folly And Friends Let it never pass out of our Remembrance what our God hath done for us since he hath made us a People Hath any Weapon formed against us prospered hath he called us and not protected us hath he given Power to conceive and not to bring forth hath he not sheltered us in many a Storm did he ever leave us under the Reproaches and Contradictions of men nay hath he not spoken Peace to us were we ever cast out by men and he forsook us no the Lord hath taken us up were we ever in Derision and he visited us not hungry and he fed us not naked and he clothed us not or have we been sick and he came not to see us when were the Goals so close that he could not come in and the Dungeons so dark that he caused not his Light to shine upon us O nay he hath never left us nor forsaken us yea he hath provided richly forus he hath brought us into the Wilderness not to starve us but to try us yet not above our measure For he sed us with Manna from on high with pure Honey and Water out of the Rock and gave us his good Spirit to sustain us By Night he was a Pillar of Fire to us to comfort us and by Day a Pillar of Cloud to hide and shelter us He was the Shadow of a mighty Rock that followed us and we never wanted a Brook by the way to refresh us Was God good to Israel outward much more hath he abounded to his spiritual Israel the proper Seed and Off-spring of himself O the noble Deeds and valiant Acts that he hath wrought in our day for our Deliverance He hath caused One to chase Ten and Ten an Hundred and a Hundred a Thousand many a time None hath been able to snatch us out of his Hands who abode in his Truth For though the Winds have blown and the Sea hath raged yet hath he rebuked the Winds and the Sea for his Seed's sake he hath said to the Winds Be still and to the Sea Thus far shalt thou come and no farther He hath cast up a high Way for his Ransomed to walk in so plain that though a Fool he shall not err therein This is the Light in which all the Nations of them that are saved must walk forever And therefore Friends Let us stay our Minds in the Light of the Lord forever and let the Awe Fear and Dread of the Almighty dwell in us and let his holy Spirit be known to be a Covering to us that from the spirit of this World we may be chastly kept and preserved unto God in the holy Light and self-denying Life of Jesus who hath offered up himself once for all leaving us an Example that we should also follow his steps that as he our dear Lord and Master so we his Servants and Friends and Children might by the eternal Spirit offer up our selves to God in Body in Soul and in Spirit which are his that we may be his Workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good Works to the Praise of him that hath
