A54052	The scattered sheep sought after 1. In a lamentation over the general losse of the powerful presence of God in his people, since the dayes of the apostles, with a particular bewailing of the withering and death of those precious buddings forth of life, which appeared in many at the beginning of the late troubles in these nations, with the proper way of recovery for such, 2. In some propositions concerning the only way of salvation, where is an answer given to that great objection, that the light which convinceth of sin, is the light of a natural conscience, and a brief account rendred of the ground of mens misunderstanding Scriptures, 3. In exposing to view the fundamental principle of the Gospel, upon which the redeemed spirit is built, 4. And in some questions and answers, by way of catechism, for the sake of the simple hearted, directing to that principle, and fixing in it / by Isaac Penington.

the beauty and glory of life what is become of thee how art thou held captive and chained up in Babylon how dost thou lie fullied among the pots how are the wings of thy Dove clipped how art thou covered and polluted with the filth of the whole earth O take up a Lamentation weep O Israel mourn O daughter of Jerusalem bewail thy widdow-hood thy desolation thy loss of Husband thy sad captivity thy banishment out of thine own land and thy thraldom in the land of thine enemy What is become of thy God the mighty God of Jacob whose out-stretched arme hath been able to save and redeem his seed out of bondage What enemy hath been able to stand before him What wild Boar out of the Wood or wild Beast out of the Forrest was able to break into his Vineyard while he kept the fence where is that arm that smote Rahab and slew the Dragon Where is that hook that he was wont to put into the nostrils of the Leviathan Pharaoh is alive the wise Egyptians have power Egypt holds the seed in bondage Gebal Ammon and Amalek the Philistins with the inhabitants of Tire are all able to smite Israel and to stop up the well-springs of life Awake O arm of the Lord and awaken Israel that thou again maist become his Saviour in the sight of all the Nations and let all the house of Israel being awakened mourn in the Spirit of the Lord after the Lord. What is become of thy Messiah the Lords anointed the Captain of the Lords hoasts the Angel of the Covenant of life who was wont to go in and out before thee in fighting of the Lords battels who was the Prince and Saviour in the land of peace and rest who walked in the midst of the candlesticks who was thy King thy shepherd thy temple wherein thou worshippedst and the eternal light of thy life in the Land of the living What is become of that holy spirit which q ickned thee to God and which lived in thee being quickned which kept thee alive in him that liveth and made thee taste the sweetnesse of life continually Where is the anointing which suppled thee all over with the oyl of gladnesse and salvation Where is the comforter that refreshed thy spirit continually and led thee into all truth teaching thee all the things of God according to thy measure of growth in the life Where is the Spirit of thy Father which Spirited thee with thy Fathers nature which begot and brought forth the life

thy Mother whereof thou wast born What is become of that Covenant of life in whose womb thou wast begotten and brought forth and by whose milk and breath thou wast afterward nourished and brought up Where are all the fruits of the holy Land the pleasant Grapes the sweet Figs the precious Olives that yeelded Wine and Oyl to make the heart glad and to refresh the countenance of the Lord of Life Where 's the joy in the Lord the obedience to the Lord the praying the praising the living the walking in his Spirit the entering into and bringing forth fruit in his pure understanding and in his holy unspotted will and movings in the purified heart Alas alas Babylon hath prevailed her King hath reigned Sion hath been held in bonds and that which hath sprung up under her name hath been the filthy off spring of Babylon the seed of the Mother of Harlots and these have brought forth sower fruit loathsome fruit finely painted to the view of that eye which cannot search into it but loathsom in its nature This hath been the State of the apostacy since the daies of the Apostles wherein that which hath not been of God hath reigned and that which hath been of God hath suffered and been reproached as if it had not been of God and hath panted and mourned after the springing up of the spring of its life and its gathering into it The deep sense of this hath afflicted my Soul from my tender years the eternal witnesse awakening in me and the eternal light manifesting the darknesse all along unto me though I knew not that it was the light but went about to measure its appearances in me by words which it self had formerly spoken to others and so set up my own understanding and comprehension as the measurer although I did not then perceive or think that I did so Thus continually through ignorance I slew the life and sold my self for a thing of nothing even for such an appearance of life as my understanding part could judge most agreeable to Scriptures This the Lord blew upon though its comlinesse was unutterable the life still feeding my Spirit underneath from whence sprang an inward beauty and freshnesse then such a day or rather night of darknesse and distresse overtook me as would make the hardest heart melt to hear the relation of yet the Lord was in that darknesse and he preserved me and was forming of me to himself and the taste I had then of him was far beyond

me upon which the Tempter might work and the Lord suffered him to lay a snare and my feet were intangled unawares in so much as the simplicity was betrayed and the fleshly part grew wise by those exercises wherewith the Lord had tried me This poysoned me this hurt me this struck at the root of my life and death insensibly grew upon me The Devil the envious seeds-man cousened me with the Image which before I had had in the truth opening my understanding part by the subtilty of temptation and deceit which the Lord had been destroying and letting that in which the Lord had shut out and then the Lord took away and shut up from that part that which before he had opened to the seed whereby the way of life became stopped and the way of death opened in a Mystery And then I could talk of universal love of spiritual liberty c. and wait for the glorious appearance of life having lost that which formerly gave me the sense of its nature yea at length I could seek to the creatures for what they could yeeld and strive to rub out the time of my misery without the immediate presence of the life of the Creator And as for this despicable people whom I now own in the Lord I could measure them I could fathome them I could own their standing and yet see their shortnesse and could with satisfaction to my spirit write death upon them as the end of that dispensation of life into which I saw them entering and in part entred Here was my
