life reach that the heavy burden might be undone and the oppressed set free which in you is pressed as a cart that is full of sheaves by you in bondage kept for unto the Lord of life are you found enemies and fighting against him and hates to be reformed by him though long he hath striven with you and now is the Lord God holding forth plenteous Redemption and making known his salvation and in his good perfect gift is visiting all people that all may turn unto the light and come out of darkness and depart from evil which is made manifest in the light and so come to feel the Redemption of of God in your selves and the operation of his Spirit which worketh the work of God and bringeth forth fruit unto holiness for as in sin you abide you are not redeemed neither knows Christ nor the working of his power but abides in the unbelief and in darkness and brings forth unfruitful works thereof the imagination of your hearts being alwayes evil and that you love and hates the light which doth reprove and will not come to it which doth as truely work in power as it is believed in as ever it did in ages past and salvation is as truly felt in the leadings of the light as they felt it who declared of it and were called out of darkness into it so it is of concernment unto every one to prove themselves that the pure rejoycing you may have in your selves and not in another for the Lord God is visiting all in the light and hath given a manifestation of the Spirit unto every man to profit withall then the gift of God you are not to neglect in your selves but are to take heed unto it and every motion of it that your minds may be ordered in it and lead by it to the knowledge of the living God whom to know is life eternal and none did ever come to the knowledge of him but as they was turned to the light and heeded the light which shone in their hearts in which the knowledge of his glory is manifest in the face of Christ and do you think to come to the knowledge of God by another way be ye tryed in this ye Priests and Professors and all people if the knowledge of the true God you be come unto whom to know is eternal life are you come to know this or are you not in that knowledge which can never come to know the true God be honest with your selves all of you and see if you become to that in wch the knowledge of his glory hath been revealed from the beginning for now it is the same as ever it was and it changeth not but is witnessed through ages and generations to be always the same without any variableness for that which Abel was guided by and in which he offered up a sacrifice in righteousness the same guided Noah and in it he preached righteousness the same appeared unto Abraham and he believed in it and was guided by it and rejoyced to see it and it was counted unto him for righteousness and in this was secrets revealed unto the Prophets Moses lived in it and by the manifestation of it was the Creation opened to his understanding and he saw to the beginning and so declared in the openings of life and all the holy men of God were inspired by it and gave forth the Scriptures in the motion of it he that hath ears to hear let him hear for this was a perfect guide unto all that believed in it before writings was and all the words that are written do bear witness unto the word which was in the beginning with God and it was God and they had all Redemption by him and salvation in him who believed and this was a guide unto the righteous from the beginning and would you have another guide now you have lost that which guides holy men and righteous men and gives them the knowledge of the living God and you feel that you want a guide to bring you to God but takes not heed to that which is manifest from him which doth reprove you as you are out of the way and would lead you in the way of life would you turn unto it but you hating the reproof of it doth not come to know it and so you follow a guide which leads you in the way of death for that which guided Abel Noah and Abraham and all the holy men in times past when they had no visible thing to be a guide unto them in the way of life it is the same now and as sufficient now as ever it was and they were made holy and righteous in it and were accepted of God And would you be better then they were who were righteous men and holy men redeemed from the earth and saved by the Lord and were accepted of him Consider of this for there is not another Rule besides Christ who is given for a Leader that he may be Salvation unto the ends of the earth therefore all come unto him and in his light believe that you may feel his power to work in the inward parts and purifie your hearts for there is a measure given unto every one of you that doth reprove you in secret as your minds be after evil be ye turned unto it that you may feel the work of it to cast off the weight that lyeth upon you and the sin that so easily besets you that the seed out of bondage may arise and come forth for as the light is believed in so is the power felt to rend the vail and scatter the clouds and makes mountains fall and hills melt and is dreadful to Pharaoh and all the Egyptians he that is wise in heart may read how he is acquainted in his own particular with the operation of Gods Spirit for Redemption is plentifully revealed in this present age as in times past and many bear true witness of it who hath felt his power that worketh in the day who hath made known his Salvation and revealed his glory and brought many sons and daughters unto it where they know the truth that maketh free and are redeemed from the earth and saved by the Lord and their minds are after heavenly things and they worship God day and night in his Temple and gives glory unto him that sits upon the Throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever and this is the true birth that is born of God whose Image is heavenly and he works the work of God and all that believe in him are saved by him for the Devils work he doth destroy and the sin he takes away and that is done by him which no other could do and so doth the Redee●●● live and the stone Elect is known that is pretious which all the wise builders set at nought and are bringing forth false births in their own wills which bears the image of the earthly and neither redeems nor saves from sin but

Sea is divided and Pharaohs host destroyed therefore who is Pharaoh and what is his power that he should withstand God is not he the King of Aegypt his power the power of darknesse is not the Lord the King of glory and his power made known in the light which is a plague to Pharaoh and his house for God is making his power known upon him because he is his enemie and stands in his heard heartednesse against him the hand of God smites him and the breath of the Almightie is kindled against him and that is come to passe concerning him which all the Inchanters of Aegypt cannot do Therefore a warning this is from the Lord God unto all that be his enemies and are found fighting against him and resisting the light of the Lamb that you may all repent and turn to the Lord before utter destruction come upon you for God confounds all your devices and brings to nought all your Inventions though you sit as Kings in Aegypt yet from thence is God bringing you down and makes your Councels to be of none effect your great host cannot save you nor all your horses and Chariots defend you from the outstrethed arm of God who is smiting your first-born throughout and you must know that there is no God like the God of Israel Therefore cease thy cruelty thou violent beast whose power is in the dark in which thou hast long Reigned and also made war with the Lamb and his followers and shed innocent blood with which thou hast made thy self drunk and yet art not satisfied but still thirsts for more how hast thou been exalted set up in thy glorie that the world hath wondered after thee and hath said who is like unto thee who is able to make war with thee for the power of the Nations hath been given unto thee and from thence hast thou had thy life but now thou must know that there is one above thee in whom all power is who subdues the Nations under him and takes away thy life from thee that thy strength faileth thee and all thy beautie goeth from thee and thou appearest an ill favoured harlot for now thou art seen within and thy nakedness doth appear thy covering is removed that thou canst not hide thy self any longer and now doth he rise against thee that maketh warre in righteousnesse who with great power is come the pure and undefiled One who upon his throne over all doth reign thy heads and horns to break and to redeem his chosen from thee whose power is filled with cruelty and thou shalt know that the Lamb in his power reigneth Therefore let Sion rejoyce and the daughters of Judah be glad because of Gods righteous judgements who is pleading the cause of the innocent and executing vengeance upon the beast destroying his marks and names his heads and horns let him that readeth understand Rejoyce ye Saints and all you holy ones for the Lamb is exalted in dominion and of his government there is no end for he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the holy hill of Sion is his throne and there he doth reign with the Scepter of his righteousnesse and executes true judgement upon the heathen who are in their rage against him and would not that he should reign over them he is taking vengeance on them all and he will be eased of them because they are his adversaries for none shall prosper that fights against Sion for the time is come that God will have mercy upon her and out of the dust she is arising and the oyle of joy is given for mourning the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heavinesse therefore all you tender ones whose face is Sion-ward walk in the light of the Lamb and follow him whithersoever he goes stand in the innocency and meeknesse of him and know his strength to gird you about and feel his power to obtain the victory for you God hath visited in his everlasting love and made known his salvation in you and given you to believe and also to suffer for his sake all keep in the word of his patience and let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing but stand compleat in him who is the head and fear not the reproach of men neither be afraid of their revilings but be ye clothed with humility and put ye on the garment of Righteousness and shew your selves in the Lambs meekness that his own life in you may preach to the world and his own innocence may shine thorow the vessel that God in you may be glorified and your hearts in God may be comforted and in that all dwell which God hath revealed in you and keep your minds down in the stillness that over all the Lamb you may feel his goverment everlasting in you to set up and his righteous Scepter over you to reign and so in the Kingdom all lye down where the Lamb is exalted upon his throne and know the righteousness and peace that is therein for there is gladness of heart obtained and the everlasting rest prepared unto which you are redeemed and are by the Lord a people saved therefore be ye all joyned together in the Lords love and there abide in the holy fear that the teachings of the Lamb you may alwayes hear and that you may feel his hand to knit you together and bind you up in the bundle of life and so to be made perfect in one that his image you may bear who is without sin and in his life reign over hell and know your bodies prepared to do his will that with one heart and minde you may serve him and feel your increase in him that you may grow up together into the measure of his fulnesse whose life is perfect pure and holy and let none look back again nor turn aside to either hand but keep to that which leads in the way and feel it to prepare the way before you that out of all Reasonings you may be kept and out of all snares preserved that so you may walk worthy in the power of God of the high calling whereunto he hath called you and in his power live to his praise for God hath done wonderful things for you and his own outstretched arm hath brought great things to passe who hath reached unto the mighty and brought them down from their seat and hath exalted that of low degree and out of bondage hath delivered you and leads you in a way that you did not know go on rejoycing and be ye faithful unto death for the Lords goodnesse goeth before you and the everlasting rest is prepared for you and into the good land will the Lord bring you where the milk honie floweth and the fountain of life openeth in which strength is renewed that there is neither wearinesse nor faintnesse but

upon for it is hid from their eyes but blessed are your eyes for they see and the things which God hath prepared for you are unto you revealed by his spirit there be you all stayed and wait to feel him carry on the work which in you he hath begun and he will make bare his arm for you and drive out all enemies before you and settle you in a quiet habitation and cover you with his wing and preserve you under his shadow and in the Kingdom prepared will he establish you and seal an everlasting decree of peace unto you and this is your portion ye tender ones who have denied your selves and the worlds glory and have no inheritance therein but followes the Lamb in faithfulnesse and walks in the paths of Rigteousnesse your portion is durable riches and your inheritance that which never fades away for the Kingome is everlasting and he that reignes therein endureth for ever and of his government there is no end THE END
