B23181	A general epistle and a tender greeting, sent unto the flock of Christ; who meet together, to worship the Father and the Son in the spirit of truth; to be read in the fear and wisdom of God, amongst them.	Fox, George, d. 1661.	1660 (1660)	Wing F2004	6,921	11

the leadings of his spirit but have grived it from day to day Therefore will the Lord God try all professions and the chaffe shall be blown away and all false coverings shall be stript off and men shall appear as they are yea the chasse which some time seemed to joyn to the wheate shall be driven to and fro untill the fire consume it or untill it mixe it self with the mire where the swine walloweth but God will have regard unto his seed which is weighty And friends a day of calamity wil come upon them who have worshipped and do worship an unknown God at a distance and pretend the worship of the true God for they shalt call but their God shall not answer and they shall fret themselves fear and terror shal sieze upon them many shal joyn to and fall under that which they have called esteemed Babilonish But there is a Remnant yet to be gathered both from among the professors and prophane Therefore dear hearts let your circumspect walking in the life of righteousness reach the witness of God in all consciences and let your soberness and patience smite your enemies And you that are strong in the Lord and in the power of his might are able to endure much bear ye with the weak and incourage and strengthen the feeble and let your tender love and care be over such as ye feel have true breathings after the Lord though they have have little of a knowledge of the declaration of truth and let your words to and before them and all men be seasoned with grace that ye may minister unto the grace in the hearers And ye that are weak and yet have a true Love begotten in you towards the Lord all wait in the feeling of the truth in your inward parts that your minds may be wrought into subjection to the Lord through the working of his eternal power in you and when you are tempted heed not the temptation but heed the light that makes manifest the temptation and believe in the light and keep to it and ye will feel the Lords presence and strength breaking forth to deliver you and to make a way for you to escape the temptation and if at any time ye be overcome by the subtilty of the Devil and then the light arise in you to make manifest the transgression and to Judge you for it then joyn to the light and love the judgment and will not but be still until it works through and breaks forth into victory and if ye see iniquity abound then take heed that your love wax not cold and if ye see some fall from the truth and turn back with the dogg to the vomit and with the swine that was washed to the wallowing again in the mire and if ye see some for fear of persecution start aside or for the love of this world depart from the faith or turn from the holy Commandment which was delivered unto them upon any account whatsoever let none of these things move or trouble you for such things will come to pass but blessed are they that are not offended with the light but suffers and endures all things unto the end for they shall be saved But this know friends that the Lord God will try you and ye must pass through perils and tryals not only among the open prophane ones but also among such as have known the truth and turns from it yet know my friends that God will not try you further than he will give you strength to endure the tryal if ye be faithful unto him Therefore watch and be sober and waite in the life that ye may have salt in your selves to savor withal and be not weary neither faint in your minds nor let not in distrust but hope to the end and be confident that God will appear and work deliverance for his people but if it be his will that ye must yet be further tryed and that he will yet suffer the wicked to flourish spread forth themselves as a green bay-tree and that ye must yet bear your testimony for the Lord by greater sufferings Oh friends murmur not but hold fast your integrity and know certainly that whatsoever any suffer for the Lord they shall not loose their reward Therefore all friends be valiant and strong and bold for the truth upon earth and walk humbly with the Lord and wisely before your enemies that so ye by doing the thing that is right in the sight of God may put to silence the foolish and ignorant for this is the will of God And friends walk patiently towards all men knowing that ye sometimes were ignorant and foolish and disobedient therefore let your pitty and patience towards them that be disobedient be known and wait that ye may be ready to shew them the thing that is good to instruct them concerning the way of righteousness or if you have not words given you then let you conversation preach forth righteousness that so happily God may give some of them repentance and that ye may be made instruments for the bringing them unto the acknowledgment and knowledge of the truth and live in the wisdome and power of God that so your enemies may have nothing against you justly but if they will persecute you for any thing appertaining to a good conscience be not dismaid or if they falsely accuse you and falsely sweare against you and so ye reckoned among the transgressors by them be not troubled but be patient and keep to the witness of God for thus the wicked served your Master who gave his back to the smiter and his cheeks unto them that plucked of the hair and the servant is not greater than his Lord So let nothing be too dear to be given up for the Lord and bow not to any thing but to the name of Jesus whose name is called the word of God by which we must overcome and break through all this ungodliness Oh the Lord keep you faithful and patient in your tryals for much have we to pass through and to overcome through the patience and long-suffering of the Lamb So let none be exalted above their measures nor cast down by letting in of fears but all dwell in the living nobility of the immortal king of righteousness and keep in subjection to his government and meet together oft in his name though the Sea and the heathen Rage and the people imagin vain things and though the Kings of the earth and the Rulers rise up together and take counsel against the Lamb and his followers and though the rude multitude may persecute you and the whore may drink some of your blood yet be not dismaid neither fear ye at all for in vain do they strive for the Lamb shall get the victory glory to him in the highest And so friends keep your garments unspotted ye who have washed them in the blood of the Lamb and be exceeding tender toward such professors as have a
