AN Invitation of LOVE UNTO THE SEED of GOD Throughout the WORLD With A WORD To the WISE in HEART And A LAMENTATION For NEW-ENGLAND Given forth from the movings of the Spirit of the LORD by one who is known to the World by the Name of JONE BROOKSOP London Printed for Robert Wilson AN INVITATION of LOVE unto the Seed of GOD throughout the World c. OH hearken all ye People of the Earth and listen all ye Inhabitants of the same Oh hearken what the Lord speakes to his People He speaks Peace unto his Israel and to all them that put their trust in him for saith Christ Jesus I am the Light of the World which doth enlighten every one that cometh into the World Oh hearken to that of God in all your Consciences which checks for sin and for iniquity and for every thing that is contrary to that of God in all mens Consciences which is the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened every one withal that cometh into the World Oh my dear Friends consider the Loving kindness of the Lord God unto your Souls that he should So love the World as to send his onely begotten Son into the World that they through him might believe in whom is Life and the Life is the Light of men Oh let not the Loving Kindness of the Lord slip out of your Minds but fear and dread before him who made Heaven and Earth and all things that are therein and hath all Powers in his hand and can turn them whensoever it pleaseth him and howsoever it pleaseth him Oh fear and dread before his holy blessed Name for ever more Amen For at his Name must every knee bow and every tongue confess even at the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and onely Saviour and Redeemer whom we witness come to take away sin in the flesh which all the Teachers in the World are ignorant of that tell people that they cannot be free from sin while they live in this Life which is contrary to Christ's Commands which saith Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect and Be ye holy as I am holy And so they keep poor people alwayes learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth as it is in Jesus For Christ he came not to call the Righteous but Sinners to Repentance that they through him might believe in whom is Life and Salvation for all them that believe in the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened them withal And so all People great and small high and low rich and poor of what sort soever ye be Mind the fear of the Lord God of Life every one of you in your own perticulars while you have time prize it lest the Lord come and smite the Earth with a Curse For assuredly a Day of account must come upon all flesh to try all them that dwell upon the Earth whether their deeds be wrought in God yea or nay For the Lord God of Life is risen and arising to plead with all the Inhabitants of the Earth and they shall be as stubble before him for our God is a terrible God unto the wicked for all the proud and all that do wickedly shall be as stubble before Him with whom we have to do For assuredly a Day of Account must come upon all flesh to try them withal and every man's work that will no abide the fire must be burnt up of what sort soever it shall be For there is not a deed done in the Body but an account must be given for it whether it be good or whether it be evil the mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken it Who will perform all his Promises made unto his own Seed All praises be given unto him who made all things by the word of his Power and Man to serve him And now is his everlasting Trumpet sounding unto all Nations that whosoever will come and drink of the Rivers of Life freely may come and buy Wine and Milk without Money and without price And let every one that is a thirst come and whosoever will let him come and take of the Water of Life freely And so all People who desire to know Salvation for your own Souls come to the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withal And now hath the Lord alone set up his Standard and is displaying his Ensign that all Nations may come unto it and be saved who is Israel's King and Redeemer from all Stormes and Tempests whatsoever may be suffered to come upon them to try them withal Oh! my dearly beloved Friends in whom there is any tenderness towards God and his Truth consider what you have been doing and how you have spent your time whether in the Service of the Lord or in serving of your own Wills To that in your Consciences I speak which is God's Witness and will bear witness against all that which is contrary to it in your own particulars And if you love the Light you will bring your deeds to the Light that the Light may prove them whether they be wrought in God yea or nay but if you hate it it will be your condemnation the Light but I exhort thee whoever thou art as thou tenderest the good of thy own Soul that thou love the Light which is the Life of Men and embrace it and love it with all thy heart and with all thy mind with all thy Soul and with all thy strength Oh! love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy Neighbour as thy self so shalt thou come to feel the Plant which the Lords right hand hath planted in thee to grow up if thou lovest it for this know asuredly oh Man that the Lord is come to look for Fruit For he that sows to the Flesh shall of the Flesh reap Corruption But he that sowes to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap Life Everlasting and Joy and Peace which shall never be taken from them And so in tender love unto the Seed of God in all People do I write to warn all that love their own Souls to fear and dread before the Lord God of Life and Power for the Lord is at hand as thousands can witness at this day all praises be given unto his holy Blessed Name for ever for his Love is unspeakable unto the Children of men and his Ways past finding out Oh! that men would praise the Lord for his goodness and for his loving kindness towards the Children of men for his Mercy endures for ever throughout all Generations unto such as love his holy blessed Name for ever Oh let the house of Israel say that his mercy endures for ever and let the house of Jacob say that his mercy endures for ever and let the house of Aron say that his Mercy endures for ever Oh! let all them that know him say that his Mercy endures for ever and let all the Ransomed ones of the Lord say that his Mercy endures for ever
