to give up and to part with all yea even with your lives also if you be called thereunto for the tryal of your faith or that your enemies thereby may fill up the measure of their iniquity and that judgement may come upon them to the full And whilst you have outward liberty for the keeping your meetings together be diligent therein as I said before and when any of you come to be hindered from such opportunities as you have enjoyed Oh! then be patient and wait upon the Lord for strength and if in any place it should come to passe that but two or three of you could come together neglect not that for if in the pure fear and love of God you be kept it will be profitable and comfortable unto you And dear Friends you who are but weak in the Truth to you I now speak Take heed of looking out at any of us whom the Lord God hath drawn forth by his own power and love to declare his living eternal Truth unto you I say look not out at us as for strength or teachings but look to the endlesse life in your selves which we have directed you unto in which your strength satisfactory teaching is for we may be removed far from you as to the outward but the Life Power by which you we stand abideth with and in you and we as to the outward may be bruised broken and slain for the testimony of Jesus and the Word of God which we hold But the Life and Spirit of God and the Lamb dwelleth for ever with you that believe in it and if ye crucifie it not to your selves there is none that can slay it And while you have us or any of us among you I exhort and warn you all and that in the name and authority of the Lord that ye look not upon or think of any of us above what we are least thereby you should hurt your selves or any of us but according as God hath distributed unto us of his heavenly treasure even so know us and feel us and receive us in the Lord and know no man after the flesh neither admire any thing but the pure Life of God and the birth born of him and know that what of Gods treasure we have in our earthen vessels we have received it from the Lord that none might glory or boast in what they have over another And what we have received it is partly for your sakes that we might impart of the same unto you as good shewards of the manifold grace of God and although we are become the Lords free-men through the work of his eternal Power and Spirit yet are we your servants in Christ and so let us be accounted among you for that is our place and duty even to serve you in the Lord and to stand given up to spend and be spent for you and if we should not so walk among you in all humility of mind I know the Lord would soon withdraw his glorious power and presence from us and then what should we be more then others nay how much lesse and weaker So dear Friends keep in the pure sear and live in the true favour that ye may have a true sensible feeling one of another in your present conditions and that ye may be able to strengthen one another in the Lord. And if at any time any be felt not to be in so clear and living a condition as they formerly have been in Oh! take heed how you judge of those things and beware of prejudice or of a spirit that would rejoyce because advantages at such a time may easily be taken for that is accursed in the sight of God But keep ye in the dread and wisdom of the Lord and they that reprove or exhort such as are come to loss in their conditions let it be in that spirit which can bear and suffer all things that are to be born for the Seeds sake in the true patience and meekness Oh Friends this is the restoring healing strengthening consolating Spirit which is of great price with the Lord and in this live and you will feel the blessing the peace and mercy upon the Israel of God and you will be meet helps one to another And now dear Friends and Babes you who watch for peace and unity in righteousness and can bear and endure all things that may be born for the Elects sake my life is bound up with you in the overcomings of Gods love and I am refreshed in you and I partake of your peace and joy and meet and kiss you in the meek Spirit and rejoyce with you in the work of the Lord My Friends go on in the power of God and build up one another in the living saith and wait therein together that in the eternal power ye may seel dominion over all the cruelty of the enemy for it 's the faith in the power that must break through all this wickedness and bring down all this ungodliness that is spreading it self as if there were no end of it But Friends as in the dread of the Lord ye keep you will see the power of darknesse vanish away they that act in it shall be chained under though for a moment they have liberty for the tryal of our faith But verily in the power of the Lord God I can truly rejoyce over all these things because I see the Lords presence and loving kindness in a wonderful manner amongst those that truly wait upon him and trusts alone in him for deliverance even in the time of their tryals and because he hath given me stedfastly to believe that he will bring deliverance for his people and set them over all the powers of the earth by his own arme Therefore let none murmur nor think that the Lord is flack concerning his appearing for his people but let every one that knows the truth in that patiently wait and endure whatsoever the Lord suffers the wicked to do unto you in the day of his long patience and sorbearance which he in compassion grants unto them that they might come to repentance and amendment of life which if they wholly slight and will not be gathered in that day he hath ●ower enough and will execute it to destroy them and to deliver his people that trust in him So in the pure life and power and vertue of the Father be ye stayed and quiet in your minds and wait to receive your daily bread and water of life from him that ye may grow up in the eternal and be established for ever in the power of an endlesse life Oh Friends if any looks out in this day they will let in weakness and whosoever seels weakness let them abide and believe in that which makes them sensible of their weakness and they will gather strength and be able to stand And as for you my dearly beloved Friends who are come to witness your Redemption from the earth by the blood of the Covenant and are now following of the Lamb whithersoever he goeth leads draws or commands you I know you are come to the Anoynting and have received it and that abides in you and you into it are comprehended so that you need not any man to teach you but as the same Anoynting that abideth in you doth teach you for that is true and there is no lie of it and that teacheth you of all things which are suteable to your conditions and it sheweth you things to come and with it you are able to try Spirits and Doctrines and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him the Lord that Spirit And where this is felt and witnessed there is liberty and sitting and waiting in this you are sed with the bread from above which giveth life and refreshed with the springs from beneath which makes its way through the Rocks and Mountains to the pleasant Valleys and you that are come to this seat you are able to judge of things within and without and although you have not need to be taught by letters yet I know you that are come to this state can bear the word of Exhortation to be sounded among you that so it may reach unto them to whom it is of service for the slirring up of their pure minds that so the life and power immortal may in the freshnesse and purity of it be felt in and amongst all the flock and that in the sweetness and vertue thereof you all may be kept and preserved in pure unity and peace with God and one with another So the Blessing and Mercy of the Almighty rest and abide for ever upon you all who delight in the truth which is eternal And Friends take heed how you receive reports and report them again for there is a great danger in those things and there is and hath been very much wrong among people upon that account for many thereby are begotten into strange lying wonders and some into questionings and sears in their minds and some into false joys and foolish expectations and some into prejudice one against another because false reports hath been received and reported again Therefore that you may be clear of these things be you very mindful watchful and careful that you report not any thing but as you have a certain ground for the truth of it and as you may see a service in speaking thereof or else you had better be ●●●ent to those things and let them die that so truth unity and peace may be lived in and abound amongst you in all things London the eight day of the eight moneth 1660.
