A60626	An epistle to all the called and chosen of God by William Smith.	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1672 (1672)	Wing S4297; ESTC R32688	10,262	20

the weighty savory words of Life that with the Life every one may be truly refreshed comforted and stablished Oh Friends Be ye all watchful to the Heavenly Light to be preserved in the feeling of Eternal Life that ye may all follow the Lamb in his goings and not go into any thing that is contrary to him for that draweth a vail over the Life and obstructeth the Vertue and then the pettish part is ready to be exceptious and streighten the Life and the Unity in it and so the evil Eye comes to be opened and the Whisperer and Reporter to be let at liberty and then the Enemy works into parties to spoil the Heritage of God and it is set much upon me by the Spirit of the Lord to warn and exhort all Friends To be very circumspect in all their wayes and to keep to the Light by which they were first convinced and in which true Love aboundeth that none may run out and grieve the Spirit of the Lord and bring Grief one upon anothet but all keep in the good Unity of the Spirit which is the Bond of Peace and so all will understand what to joyn unto and what to stand at a distance from for a good Understanding keepeth good Order and they that have attained to it they speak with the Spirit and with an Understanding and pray with the Spirit and with an Understanding and sing with the Spirit and with an Understanding and with the Spirit and with an Understanding God is glorified and unto his Blessed Name and Power be Glory forever Amen And Friends Be very mindful in all things wherein you are concerned to answer the Lord in Obedience and Faithfulness to the End that your Hearts and Minds may be constant to persevere in the Way of Godliness that in the Light you may feel the Strength and Power of Life to do the Will of God and so the Lord will keep you in his Way as a People that are ordered and disposed in his Counsel and you will be as a Holy Generation and a Royal Priesthood to offer a living Sacrifice of Praise upon his own Altar For the Lord is exceeding good to all that faithfully love him and serve him he is nigh to help them wherein his Name and Truth is concerned for his Power is as the Wings of an Eagle and where his Power beareth up there is no fainting but a Faithful Continuing with Joyfulness to serve Him unto the End Therefore all keep in the Light which the Messengers of the Covenant first preached unto you and by which your Hearts were touched and turned unto God abide in that as being the one and only in which the Love Life Spirit Power and Wisdom of God resteth for all resteth in the Light and in the Light all comes to be witnessed in one Nature and Beeing and whatsoever would draw your Minds from the Light under any Colour or Pretence let it not prevail over you but stand in the Light and resist it as your Enemy For as the Light is only true so there is to be an abiding in it for all that go from it to find any thing true above it they err from the Faith and wrong themselves or who go from the Light to embrace the World they enter into the House of Bondage and where the Enemy so prevaileth over any it is because there is not Faithfulness to the Light For if there be Faithfulness to the Light the Wiles of the Enemy are discovered and Dangers prevented for the Light lifts up it self as a Standard against the subtil Worker And so with the Light the Faithful are preserved in their Faithfulness to walk with God and do his Will and there they grow in Grace and Godliness by which the Truth is Honoured And herein the great Love of God is manifest to all the Faithful who are indeed his Chosen and unto whom his Arm is stretched forth for their Preservation he only is the God of their Salvation and in his Life he causeth all his tender Plants to grow and with his Vertue he gives them Nourishment to make them live and be fruitful yea it is He and none Else he whose Name endures forever and all that wait upon him his Grace falls upon them Therefore trust ye in Him whose Name is I am The Lord Strong and Mighty The Everlasting Immortal God The Power that is able to subdue all things to it self by which ye may all feel the Resurrection of the Immortal Seed and of the Seed to be born again and so as Heirs of Life to inherit Life and in Life to live that the Alpha and Omega the Beginning and Ending may be your Rest And as ye all dwell in the Light you will be sensible of the Drawings and Leadings of his Hand since the Day in which he first Appeared to you and how he hath driven back Enemies before you and brought you forward into a Wealthy Place yea a Place where ye have found durable Riches and keeping in the Weighty Power you will have a weighty Life and so be found as such that walk worthy of the Vocation unto which God hath called you and there you will know the goings on from one degree of Godliness to another unto the Perfect State in Christ Jesus and so you will not hastily flye up into the Air but learn your Goings by degrees and walk safely and there your Way will be pleasant to you and your Reward a Crown for who overcometh the Lord will Crown the Overcomers must wear the Crown as a Token of their Victory over all things contrary to Truth and Purity and also as their Glory before him who sets the Crown upon their Head and such Honour have all the Saints And so in the Power of God all get Victory and Overcome that ye may wear the Crown And all be mindful wherein ye are concerned one towards another in all things that the Peace of God in all your Hearts may rule and that the pure Movings of God's Power ye may all know in your Understandings that every one may know their going forth and coming in as the Power ordereth and then the Order will be kept and not broken for if the true Power be not understood in its Movings but that another thing moveth and acteth that thing breaks the Order and none do keep the Order of the Gospel but who live in the Power and understandeth the Motion of it and so all are to wait upon God to understand his Counsel and do his Will and not follow their own Counsel and do their own Wills for if any do so they will run into Confusion aud come to nothing but who stand in the Counsel of the Lord and do his Will they serve him in the order of his own Life by which he hath Glory And so all is to be kept down with the Power that nothing may be seen or heard but the pure Seed in its own pure Life and then you
