A General Epistle TO Friends of Truth and Righteousness in England and Holland or elsewhere WITH A Testimony against that Spirit that speaks much of Holiness and Peace but leads back into the World and its Pollutions where the Cross of Christ is denyed By Humphry Wollrich Written in the 11th Moneth Anno 1665. FRIENDS The pure Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ all wait to feel live and move in your mortal bodies that so you may by and in it witness acceptance with the Lord the Father and fountain from whom every good and pure gift doth proceed and spring Oh witness him alive in you that was dead that so ye from him may receive life as he doth from the Father that there may be none amongst you all that can be content to sit down in the form without the power or in having a name to live but as ye feel that innocent Lamb of God live through Righteousness that hath been wounded and slain through transgression out of which my souls desire and prayer to the Lord is ye all may be preserved in the holy pure and undefiled life of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen THe Eternal God Lord of Heaven and of Earth put it in my heart to write to all Friends of truth and Righteousness in general that ye all watch and pray continually both in the day and in the night with all your loynes girded up with the Girdle of Righteousness stand stand in faith out of all fainting or weariness thoughts and unbelief keeping the ward of the house of the Lord. O dear Friends ye that have known the Virgins state unto whom nothing in this World hath been so dear and lovely as the savour of his good Oyntment to feel who have rejoyced in nothing so much as to hear the beloved Bridegrooms voice Oh all watch and pray in that the eternal Spirit is the Father of that nothing may enter in to defile the Temple of the living God for he delights to dwell and walk therein Oh that pure spring of goodness all wait to feel living in your own hearts that by the same ye may be made willing as the holy Apostle was to die daily unto all visible and fading things so that ye may be but found in him and be eye Witnesses of the life and power of his rising by which we have the answer of a good Conscience in his sight and whereby the Kingdom and the Glory and the greatness thereof is revealed and brought to light that was with the Father before the World began which fallen man from Gods Image hath lost by trangression which the Lord by his holy Spirit is finishing and puting an end unto and in the place thereof bringing in his Everlasting Righteousness and where sin and iniquity hath abounded grace and mercy by Christ doth much more abound to the glory and renown of his holy Name for evermore Oh dear Friends hide not the Righteousness of the Lord within your hearts but love and follow him that your Lights may shine out in the daily Cross to self untill you come to witness the Baptism into his death a death to all that can work without the Lord or hunt before him as Nimrod did the beginning of whose Kingdom was Babel or live and feed without the Eternal spring of goodness in the World in the broad and wide way that leads to destruction Oh let your Light shine out and have always oyle in your selves to keep your Lamps burning this is to the pure praise of him that hath called us to glory and vertue and all dearly beloved Friends every where keep out of the Worlds spirit and cumbrances in the spirit of truth and then by the living spring in all ye do will ye be guided and those things that to you have seemed hard and impossible by the feeling and guidance of the holy spirit will be made easie and pleasant as it is written the Lord makes my way perfect but the way of transgressours is hard therefore out of thy self live in the Lord and take hold of his strength for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength in whom all the seed of Israel are justified and do glory to whom eternal glory and praises be given for he is good and his mercies endure for ever Oh the power of the Lord Jesus Christ let none go from that after fables and hats and outward things as some have done who have been convinced of the way of Righteousness but are turned into the World from the holy Commandement and are become dry having little or nothing left but swelling words of vanity whose root I am moved of the Lord to judge for this was not their work whom God raised at first amongst us but to turn peoples minds to the eternal light of the Word that shone in their own hearts that by it their souls might be saved in the day of the Lord who hath shewed me these men are not of Paul's spirit but of that which did him much mischief in withstanding his words for he said he would not do those things while the world stood whereby the weak should be offended but these men have said to me some of them what need we care who is offended seeing we have freedom to do the thing these things I do but touch upon for my Righteousness and my peace which makes me glad is of the Lord and the other things not worth the mentioning in comparison thereof but as one seeing the mischief it hath done in City and Country to many simple hearted people beguiled with a shew held forth for the substance I could not well be silent any longer And further more this is my Testimony in this thing as keeping on the Hat in Prayer before the Lord in the Congregation of his people is not lovely it makes not for peace neither is it of good report before all but sprang from that gainsaying root that Corah Dathan and Abiram joyned unto who with a greater out-cry of holiness then Moses and Aaron had rose up against the Lord and his anointed and hidden ones as these men have done whose mouths must be stopped who subvert peoples minds from the simplicity of the cross of Christ whose end is destruction if they repent not And all dear Children of the Light and of the day whom God hath blessed and unto which all the promises are made stand in the strength of the Lord and feed there out of self and out of all unbelief in the feeling of the holy pure Spirit of the Lord in the goodness which will constrain thee to deny thy self so in him thou may be but found say not in thy heart it is unpossible to be holy and perfect in this life that 's the Infidel and the spirit which the worlds life is in David sometime said I shall one day fall by the hand of Saul and doth his promise fail for evermore hath the Lord forgotten to be gracious and will he be favourable
