your Loynes girded your Staff in your hand and your shooes on your feet that you may goe on with him into whatsoever State Condition or Service of Holyness the Lord God shall call you to being cloathed in righteousness and having your Garments made clean in the blood of the Lamb even such as in which it may be lawful for you to behold your King the Lord God of hosts being purged from all spots and staynes and made white having your Lamps trimed and lights burning that when the Cry comes you may enter in And none be shut out of the Bride Chamber And my Deare Friends It lyes further weightily upon me to signifie unto you That the Lord God of Eternall life and power doth intend and is about to make his great and Glorious heavenly progress throughout and to the uttmost ends of all the Earth And hath Chosen or Elected you before all the Nations of Them that dwell upon the face of the same earth to be his Attendants and to wait upon him in his so great and glorious and heavenly a progress And hath or doth further lay it upon me in his living everlasting power and by the arm of his Eternal Authority to warn and Charge and Cite and Summon you all and every one of you high and low Rich and poor bond and free Male and Female That you and every one of you according to your several measures and guifts and according to every ones several Condition and Calling whereunto the Lord God hath called and begifted you be and personally appear in Spirit before him and give your Spiritual Attendance upon him and that in such an holy upright and undesiled way and after such an humble lowly prostrate dilligent heavenly and obedient manner as is suteable to your duty and doth become the dignity Majestie and purity of so holy and heavenly a God as he is with whom we have to do That so the everlasting God in all things may be glorified by you and his truth and great name be by or through none disgraced that so he may delight to do you good and call you up higher and make you further pertakers of his manifold graces which are yet behind and which he hath yet laid up in store in Christ Jesus for all them that love him and who are the called According to his purpose And who do follow him in the Regeneration haveing their garments washed in the Blood of the Lamb For as it is written it doth not yet appear what we shall be But when he shall appear then shall we also appear with him in Glory So mind to keep in and to that which is pure And which you have known from the beginning that when he comes whose Reward is with him to give to every man according as his work shall be you may none of you come short but every one if it be possible Enter into the Joy of his Lord For consider if an outward King do but Summon his Servants or Subjects to give their attendance upon him in his outward progress with what readiness and willingness will they appear before him and in how Reverent and accomplished manner will they endeavour to wait upon him that they may receive acceptance with him and if possible gaine preferment from him And if it be so done in the outward by the Servants or Subjects of an external Prince let not us who are the servants and who should be the Subjects of a Heavenly King come short of our inward Duty and obedience to the holy God whose eyes is purer then to behold iniquity and who is a liberall rewarder of all them that come unto him and that wait upon him in truth and with an upright heart And therefore my dear Friends if any thing of the old stuffe nature or leaven yet remain in any to hinder in this behalf and if the Room which is the heart where the Lord should lodge and finde entertainment in this his Spiritual progress be not yet throughly swept cleansed purged garnished and perfumed for the reception and entertainment of so holy and heavenly a guest now while we have the Light to see and the besom which is the power of God to sweep let us hast to dress the same that if it be possible my dear friends we may none of us come short according to our severall measures of doing our duty to and waiting upon so holy a God as him with whom we have to doe and who is now calling and Inviteing unto a most near and heavenly attendance upon him And my friends though the storm may appear to be great and the tempest that is likely to overtake the wicked except they repent exceeding terrible yet be not dismayed for it is not intended to scatter the wheat but to refine it and to blow away the Chaff and sever that which is intended for the wrath from the pure grain Dear Friends this comes to give warning and discharge a Duty and not to reflect on any And therefore hast hast I dearly desire And let none think light of what is said or look on it as being not of their Concern but every one up get upon your watch-tower That when the Lord comes you may be ready and when he speaks you may hear And now there is another sort of People amongst the Sons and daughters or men unto whom also this Message and Invitation of the Lord reacheth and those are they who not out of hatred to the Lords truth or envie to his people stands a far off from the same yet are not so bad as the worst neither runs with them to the same exccess of ryot nor are of the like persecuting spirit with this generation and doe many of them even in their hearts wish well to the Israel of God and desire that their latter end might be like his And have sometimes even in heart mourned over the afflictions and hard useage of the Lords People and Simpathized with them in their Sufferings and yet have not been willing to come under the Cross of Christ and to suffer Afflictions with the people of God but have rather chosen to Imbrace this present evil world and continue in the Fashions and Customes thereof though many of them hath not been without reproofes and often Alarmed with something that hath sounded from under the Alter in their eares whereby their peace hath been many times broken And they forced to look back from off the Mountaines upon which they have been gone up And unto all those and every other amongst the Sons and Daughters of men who Breaths and Thirsts after Righteousnes and longs after an acquaintance with the Lord and with his wayes unto you I say and it is the Invitation of the Lord that you come away and follow the breathings of that in you which Longs and Thusts after Righteousness And stay no longer in the Vanities Follyes Fashions and Customes of the world or any of the professions thereof But
