and Nobles in fetters of Iron And Friends let us have care how we stand in any thing below the Life and Power of God do not stay any where before thou come to the Mountain Remember Lots Wife The seed is a travelling yea my soul saith Who is this that cometh from Bosrah with his dyed garments it is the Mighty God a wonderful Councellor ready to save he travelleth on like a mighty Man like a Giant to run his race he skippeth as with Hindes feet surely he is near Gods everlasting Sabbath is known the day is come wherein man must cease from all his labours for God is risen and he will work and none shall let Man is to be silent peace and be still all ye that are come to the ends of the earth for as I said before the Lord God of Heaven and Earth is risen and he will tread the Wine-press alone therefore are his garments dyed red now it will be known who they be that can live with everlasting burnings and with devouring fire even he that hath clean hands and a pure heart without which no man shall see God And without this Charitable life if a man could give his goods to the poor and his body to be burned he is but a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal I mean that Life that suffereth long and hath not envy in the heart nor double mindedness in all its dealings that preferreth anothers good before his own that thinketh no evil that is not peevish nor froward nor hasts to judge of any thing before its time that can wait till he that is the Judge of all things doth arise in him then shall his enemies be scattered before him like dust before the whirlwind And that that stayeth or Centureth in any thing below the Life and Power of God is that which tendeth to Division for the Captain of our salvation as I said before travelleth and we are to follow here and be like him in all things The Year of Freedome is come the Everlasting Jubile is witnessed wherein God hath redeemed them that have sought him onely from under the Bondage of Egyptian darkness and from all the sore Taskmasters that have dealt subtilly with his Israel and the Ishmaelitish Merchants shall no longer make merchandize of his little children for he is come to lead and to teach them himself and he will bring them to the Mountain of the house of David which is established above all the mountains and exalted above all the hills of imitation and imagination and hills of strife and Nations shall flow thither and say Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lords house and he will teach us of his wayes and we will walk in his pathes and every child shall be as David and David shall be as God and here is no need of mans teachings neither is there any need of the Sun by day nor the Moon by night for the Lord God is the light of them and the Lamb that is in the midst of them shall and hath wiped away all tears from all faces that are come hither there shall not be a place for a cunning Workman nor a Hammer to be heard in all Gods holy Mountain The mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken it And thus is the Lord God of Heaven and Earth a doing his own work himself and man is to be silent and stand still and see Gods salvation which puteth an end to those earthen tabernacles which in the imaginary part some that were Christs friends would have builded in the Mountain on which he was transfigured before them And this manifestation of the Spirit is the substance of what then was figured forth when he was taken out of their sight And thus are all the works of God wonderful and of great and weighty concernment Yea surely his Wisdom is passed by and gone beyond the wisdom and comprehensions of wise men for that was too short and too narrow to contain his mighty incomprehensible fulness which cannot be limitted nor likned to any thing time or place for his wayes are unsearchable and his Judgments past finding out praises endless be to his holy Name for ever who is King of Zion he siteth upon the Cherubims of Eternity and he will bow down the high thoughts of man be they never so much exalted And one thing I charge you to have care of that you do not hide any sweet morsel nor a Babylonish wedg though it may be of gold under your Tents for the Lord God of Heaven and Earth will find it out we must all be tryed by the Refiners fire and washed as with Fullers sope that we may have our garments clean that we may not longer lye among the pots nor seek the living among the dead For he is arisen therefore let him be your Head in all things for if any thing else be chief that will betray him Therefore let us be diligent and willing to follow the Lamb and not froward and angry as Jonah was when God prepared a worm to destroy the gourd that had covered his head in the night wherein he had rested and was so exceeding glad of it So in the Innocent Life of the Lamb the Lord God preserve you and me faithful unto the end that we may finish our course with Joy and we may stand upon Mount Zion with the Lamb and sing his Song for ever which cannot be sung in Babylon because it is a strange Land Thus in Obedience to the Spirit of God I have born a faithful Testimony for the Lord and in it let me be received Richard Waite Postscript THe Woman while her Husband liveth is bound by the Law to her Husband and not one jot nor tittle of the Law shall pass till all be fulfilled but when he is dead she is free from the Law the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Iesus hath made me free from the Law of sin and death and thou to hate what he controuleth is the fulfilling of the Law and the answering of him love for love by Obedience which is better then sacrifices So shalt thou be Married unto him in the Word of his Power which will make thee willing And so he maketh of twain one new man And this is that ministration of Life and Salvation which hath exceeded and outshined that of condemnation which was glorious in its time but this hath and shall exceed it in Glory By one who hath a portion in the Man of sorrows in whom was no form nor comliness yet his Mercies indureth for ever and of his loving-kindness there shall never be an END R.W.
