SOMETHING CONCERNING Silent Meetings COncerning Silent Meetings the intent of all Speaking is to bring into the Life and to walk in and to possess the same and to live and enjoy it and to feel God's presence and that is in the Silence not in the wandring whirling tempest part of Man or Woman for there is the flock lying down at Noon-day and feeding of the Bread of Life and drinking at the Springs of Life when they do not speak words for words declaring is to bring people to it and confessing God's goodness and love as they are moved by the Eternal God and his Spirit and so all the ravenous spirits that are from the witness of God in themselves cannot be still cannot be silent it is a burthen to them so cannot keep at home in their own Houses but are the Hunters before the Lord like Nimrod the first builder of Babel for God confounded them for they went out of the stillness and quietness and like unto the Jews that went from the Law of God then they gadded abroad and changed their wayes and so did not see their salvation then were they like unto the Apostate Christians who inwardly ravened from the Spirit of God so is gone from the silence and stilness and from waiting upon God to have their strength renewed and so are dropt into Sects and heaps among one another and so has the words of Christ and the Apostles but inwardly ravened from the still life in which is the fellowship atteined to in the still life in the Spirit of God in the Power of God which is the Gospel in which is the fellowship when there is no words spoken G.
