A65865	An epistle of consolation from the fresh springs of life, and flowings forth of the Fathers love (through his servant) as a tender salutation extended to the whole flock and family of God; even to the lowest of his babes and servants, whose hearts are sincere and tender towards him: for their encouragement now in these suffering and trying times.

in the Lord and those that come of thee sha●l take root and Israel which prevaileth with God shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit and I will be as the dew unto him he shall grow as the Lilly and cast forth his roots as Lebanon saith the Lord What though if men be suffered to persecute hurry about exile transport or transplant any of us who are of this seed yet they cannot hinder this from growing nor the branches thereof from spreading over Nations and Kingdoms because our God hath caused and will yet cause his own seed to take deep root among nations and people and will root out the uncircumcised before his plant And thou O Zion and Church of the living God and suffering seed who hast laid thy body as the ground and as the street to them that went over that thou mightest keep thy conscience clear and not bow down thy soul for thy enemies to go over it the Lord thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people will give the cup of trembling and fury which thou hast drunk of into the hand of them that afflict thee therefore put on strength and courage in the Lord thy God and shine forth in thy brightness and beauty for he is with thee who hath laid thy foundations with Saphires and thy stones with fair colours and he will adorne thy dwelling and beautifie thy scituation as with the most precious and pleasant stones though thou hast been as one afflicted and tossed with tempests and troubles within and without and whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake and the gathering of the people and the fulness of the Gentiles shall be unto thee and the sons of them that afflicted thee and all them that have despised thee shall bow and bend before thee O my dear friends who are come to a living faith concerning these things and to know that seed in which all the promises of God are yea and Amen dwell and abide therein and as you are called to bear a publick testimony for God in order to the gathering of many unto the covenant of promise so be faithful in holding forth that testimony though for it many be called to suffer in this day of tryal and to offer up all for the sake thereof yet the Lord being with us let us go on in his name and by him make mention thereof and vindicate his worship in spirit and truth which we suffer for and in the power authority and counsel of God stand up for our just liberty therein before our persecutors and Judges when we are called before them and in the weighty and feeling spirit of life Friends to endeavour when called before their oppressors to fasten something upon their consciences for the innocency of our Cause and when any of them are tryed in order to banishment or the like that they may be so kept in the fear and counsel of God having their spirits seasoned with his life as they may be manifest in the consciences of both their persecutors and spectators and that it may be apparent that friends are in the name of the Lord which is above every earthly name how great soever and that in this name of our God we walk and suffer for obeying him and assembling together singly and innocently in his way and worship and suffer upon an innocent and conscientious account whatever otherwise men unrighteously pretend against us and this our suffering shall preach and the Gospel of the Kingdom shall there thorow be witnessed and sounded forth to the gathering in of many into the love of that truth which we have received though some that are unfaithful and such as back-slide in heart shall be scattered and blown away with the storm but the faithful and upright whose hearts are perfect towards God he will shew himself strong on their behalf and they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes who through great tribulation have their garments washed in his Blood and who abide in the Temple and habitation of the living God serving him continually therein the storm shall not be suffered to remove them nor the heat to scorch them but under the shadow of their souls beloved they shall sit down in peace and the Lamb shall feed them and lead them unto the fountains of waters even so the Lord God encompass all you his dear babes and spiritual off-spr●ng with the arme of power and make you as a wa●ered Garden and surround you within the bounds of his salvation and confound your enemies and make their evil designs and intentions void and frustrate that he alone may have the glory and preheminence amongst his people in this his day From your dear brother and fellow sufferer who travels in spirit and waits in patience with the suffering seed for Sions deliverance out of all her troubles and ren●wn over all her enemies G.
