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

forth to all Nations and that the generations unborn may call you Blessed Therefore let none be Treacherous to the Lord nor reward him evil for good nor betray his Cause directly by wilful wickedness nor indirectly by negligence and unfaithfulness But be zealous and valiant for Truth on Earth let none be sloathful or careless O remember the sloathful Servants State And let the loving-kindness of the Lord overcome every Soul to faithfulness For with him are Riches and Honour and every good thing and whither should any go he hath the words of Eternal Life O let none loose their Testimony but hold it up for God let thy gift be never so small thy Testimony never so little Through thy whole Conversation bear it for God and be true to what thou art Convinced of And wait all upon the Lord that you may grow in your heavenly Testimony that Life may fill your Hearts your Houses and your Meetings that you may daily wait to know and to receive Power to do the Will of God on Earth as it is in Heaven And O! that the Cross of Jesus may be in high and honourable Esteem with every one that the Liberty of all may stand in the Cross which alone Preserveth for it is the Power of God that Crucifieth us to the world and the world to us And through Death way is made unto Life and Immortallity which by this blessed Cross the Gospel the Power is brought to Light So shall the Seed of Life that God hath sown in our Hearts grow and in that Seed shall we all come to be Blessed unto whom God hath appointed the Dominion over us and it is good for all to live under the Holy Government of it for the wayes of it are the wayes of pleasantness and all its Paths are Peace and all that are born of it can say Thy Scepter is a Scepter of Righteousness And O! that all Friends every where may continually bow unto his righteous Scepter and keep to his holy Law which is written in their Hearts that it may be a Light to their Feet and a Lanthorn to their Paths Isaiah 59. vers 21. So shall they come to witness that holy Promise made good unto them That the Spirit which I have given unto him the Seed and the words which I have put into his Mouth shall not depart from him nor from his Seed nor from his Seeds Seed unto all Generations Wherefore Friends redeem the time because the Dayes are Evil God hath given you to see they are so And be ye separated more and more yea perfectly disentangled from the Cares of this World And be ye not cumbred with the many things but stand loose from the things that are seen which are Temporal And you that are poor murmur not but be Patient and trust in the Lord and submit to his providence and he will provide for you that which is convenient for you the dayes of your appointed time And you that are Rich keep in the moderation and strive not to multiply Earthly Treasure nor to heap up uncertain Riches to your selves but what God hath given you more then what is convenient for your own Use wait for his wisdom to employ it for his Glory that you may be faithful Stewards of this worlds Mamon and the Lord God shall reward into your Bosoms of the riches of that Kingdom that shall never have an end O my Friends and Brethren whether Rich or Poor in Bonds or at Liberty in whatsoever state you are the Salutation of the universal Life of Jesus is to you And the Exhortation is to bow to what is made known unto you and in the Light by which ye have received in measure the Knowledge of God watch and wait diligently to the further Revelation of the mind and will of God unto you that ye may be endued from on High with power and might in your inward Man to answer the call and requirings of the Lord that ye may be enabled to make known to the Nations what is the Riches of the glory of this blessed Mystery in the Gentiles which is Christ Jesus the Light of the World in you the hope of glory For this I have to tell you in the Vision of the Almighty that the Day of the breaking up of the Nations about you and of the sounding of the Gospel-Trumpet unto the Inhabitants of the Earth is just at the door And they that are worthy who have kept their Habitation from the beginning and have dwelt in the Unity of the Faith that overcometh the world and have kept the Bond of Peace The Lord God will Impower and Spirit you to go forth with his Everlasting word and Testament to awaken and gather Kindreds Languages and People to the Glory of the rising of the Gentiles Light who is God's Salvation unto the ends of the Earth And I must tell you that there is a B eathing Hungring Seeking People solitarily scattered up and down this great Land of Germany where the Lord hath sent me and I believe it is the like in other Nations And as the Lord hath laid it upon me with my Companions to seek some of them out so have we found several in divers Places And we have had many blessed Opportunities amongst them wherein our Hearts have greatly rejoyced having been made deeply sensible of the love of God towards them and of the great openness and tenderness of Spirit in them to receive the Testimony of Light and Life through us And we have a stedfast belief that the Lord will carry on his Work in this Land effectually and that he will raise up those that shall be as Ministers of his eternal Testament amongst them And O! our desire is that God would put it into the Hearts of many of his faithful Witnesses to visit the Inhabitants of this Country where God hath a great Seed of People to be gathered that his work may go on in the Earth till the whole Earth be filled with his Glory And it is under the deep and weighty sense of this approaching Work that the Lord God hath laid it upon me to write to you to wait for the further pourings out of the Power and Spirit of the Lord that nothing that is Careless Sleepy Earthly or Exalted may get up whereby to displease the Lord and cause him to with-draw his sweet and preserving presence from any that know him But let all keep the King of Righteousness his peace and walk in the steps of the Flocks of the Companions For withering and destruction shall come upon all such as desert the Camp of the Lord or with their murmuring Spirit disquiet the Heritage of God For they are greater Enemies to Sion's glory and Jerusalem's peace then the open Armies of the Aliens And it is a Warning to all that make mention of the Name of the Lord in this Dispensation he hath brought us to That they have a care how they let out their
