as from your deadly enemy that so you may obtain favour with the Lord whilst his love is to you which we tenderly desire that so it may be with you Nottingham the 11. mon. 1663. John Reckless Martha Plats Sarah Watsone Hannah Reckless Prudence Harding GOd in his everlasting love to man in the Fall hath sent his Son Christ Jesus and hath made him manifest in man to be the Light of man and to lead man out of the Fall up to God and this Son of God is the second Adam the Lord from Heaven who is the quickning Spirit by which eternal Spirit the souls of his people are quickned made alive unto God it is by the same Spirit that they are fed and nourished kept alive unto him in his own righteousness this holy Spirit is their guide leader into all truth whatsoever this Spirit leadeth into therein they are justified of God not in any other thing when this Spirit leadeth the birth of its own begetting to appoynt a meeting it is for God in what place soever it doth appoynt a meeting it is lawful for the people of God who live in this Spirit to go thereunto or for any others if it be day after day or time after time it being appoynted by the Spirit of the Lord it is justified by the Lord the Power holy Life which is in Jesus doth accompany such meetings for they meet in the Name Truth of the Lord. These are those who are born of the Royal Seed and God is feeding them with the holy Bread of life and if any find but so much as a hunger or desire in their souls after the living Bread they are to go to that blessed assembly where the living Bread is broken where the Lords people is met together for that Life which is manifested in them cries come to all the thirsty all that come in-no-wise will he turn them away unsatisfied So all that come although they be but weak the Lord will strengthen them or hungry yet he wil feed them or thirsty he hath water to give unto them for unto such his cry is And when the Lord doth satisfie the soul in the assembly of his people and meeting then thy soul will be zealous for that meeting because thou hast met with the Lord to satisfie thee And it is not the outward place or time or days that thou wilt cry up but thou wilt cry up that which hath answered the desire of thy soul and that meeting in which God is so much manifested for thy meeting is in the Spirit Truth which was before days or time or place was yet thou cannot be against the time or days or place where the people of God meet because they are in the Fathers hand and the people of God who are led by the Spirit of God they know the place and day which God hath appoynted for them to live walk assemble in and this is the heavenly place in Christ Jesus and they who live in this they have the refreshing presence of God with them at all times and in all outward places wheresoever their gathering is and this is that standing meeting which none who knows it are to withdraw from And now Friends you that know the travel of your souls have a sense feeling that Christ is formed in you dwell and abide in him who is formed and in this form the Life and Power of God dwels and abides for ever for as every one doth know Gods righteousness to be put on so as that they feel themselves to stand in it and it to cover them here they are in the thing formed and so take the form upon them which is godliness and the power of God is with them and doth uphold them the Spi it of God is in them and justifieth them in this form and in this you will know what Christ took upon him while he was in the flesh and thou must not be greater than thy Master but thou art in all things to obay him and to do his will So wilt thou feel the mind of Christ in thee to lead thee into that form and path he walked in for he went to one place several times to preach and teach and this was not a dead form but that form in which the power of God was manifested And therefore dost thou not know that these backsliders who now cry against our meetings as formal though the power of God is with us would if they had been in Christs days have cryed against him when he took upon him the form of a servant And is not this the spirit of the Pharisees who condemn'd Christ and now his Disciples being they are turned against him would be set up themselves and this spirit is one with that spirit in the world against our meetings the one with reviling words and the other with wicked actions they are both one in the ground and sees no comliness in Christ the Truth because they are out of the Light in which he dwels but to all who dwell and walk in the Light he is very comly and beautiful and very glorious beyond what they can speak of him Therefore dear Friends whose being is in Christ with God unto you my love and soul is much oblieged and my desire it that you all may be preserved in the precious truth even to the end and that it may ever be unto you beautiful and delectable to your sight and that you may faithfully meet in his Name and feel the God of all consolation comforts amongst you daily to stren●then refresh you with his living mercies that you in his grace may grow as plants of his renown to bring forth fruit to the glory of God for ever and beware of that spirit which would draw you from meetings for it is an enemy to the Church of the first-born whose being is in God and in whom my habitation is who am Your Dear Brother JOHN MOON THE END

drawn off from them and entertains hard thoughts of them when their love and good-will is the same to your souls as ever And this I am sure that you have increased the travel of many though some of you do little regard it And Friends the Seed is known in the inward the fruit of it is manifest in the outward and thereby the Father is glorified and they that have taken foot downwards are truly changed into the nature of the Seed through the dislolution and death of the first body they again spring upwards in the resurrection life as the first born of life they shew forth living praise in perfect innocency And Friends I am not ignorant of that spirit which hath ensnared you but certainly knows from whence it comes whither it goes the end of it I know that it is not of God nor never must have any part in his Kingdom therefore I travel in the true Spirit of love which is the Spirit ofGod that such of you as are turned aside may not so turn your backs upon the Lord as to cause him utterly to cast you off but that you may speedily return unto him who in his long-suffering and patience waits that he may be gracious Therefore let your diligence be improved in watchfulness and wait that you may be of understanding hearts publish no more than you perfectly understand in the will of God for that will neither profit your selvs nor others You have given so much life to the fals birth by some of your writings as that the beasts of the field rise up to trample upon the precious truth of God consider of this for it will fall heavy in the latter end for it is an easie matter to get words to make a flourish in them as though som more excellent thing was attained and it is as easie a matter to cry down words as a dispensation below the Life but to declare words in the Life or come to silence in the life perfectly understand that it is so ordered by the Life in both this is such a secret as from the fleshly birth is hid but the true babes can sit read it in the Fathers bosom Oh it is a grief to the good Spirit of God to behold how words fly abroad as if people would prevail with their tongues and host with words som are crying down words endeavoring to lay aside that dispensation as being come to its period not considering that the love life of God hath its passage through the Vessel where he pleaseth and that the words are from the Word which is not to be limited I only justifie the innocent herein who in the Fathers will and time are ordered but such of you as can allow your own liberty in words and through the same hold forth an attainment above them you have your time in your own hand whilst you speak of all the precious vertues of the innocent life which are many yet with the same breath some of you are not afraid to speak rashly if not evil of such as are born of it and are cloathed with it who as noble Plants and Trees of righteousness which the Father hath planted do bear ripe fruit to his endless Glory unto whom you must come again who are gone from them if ever you come to enjoy ●ue peace for there is no whither else to go where true peace rest happiness can be found or attained And herein I have cleared my Conscience in the Fathers will in whose will I speak and in whose will I am silent both lying down rising up in his pleasure desiring that what is here manifested in his wil may not be rejected in your wills but that it may reach the meek lowly in you so be accepted by you as the loving kindness of the Lord be entertain'd in that love from which it doth proceed which is the love that beareth all things thinketh not ill in any thing WILLIAM SMITH IN the movings of pure love I most earnestly beseech intreat you all that in time you be warned and take heed of that spirit which in time past betrayed the innocent with a kiss and in these days doth take to it self a term of general love to all and also pretends a liberty in an inward ground which is not to be limited to any outward thing which spirit from a good understanding I do declare to be in the ground thereof the general very enmity unto the begotten of God in all under which many tender hearts in their simplicity may lie captivated as yet understand it not even as once it was with me until I was so far benighted that as that spirit transformed into light I in the darkness wandred after it but finding that it led to no true rest the innocent cryed unto its God his ear was open unto it by his grace I now am that I am that I now am is the same which in measure I was in the beginning when the begotten of God in me simply breathed after him and I have now true unity in the Faith with the chosen of God and with them do partake of his vertuous life in the sence of which I desire that you may speedily return unto your first love in which is true joy 〈◊〉 everlasting peace which no transformed spirit hath to give nor power to take away I could have spoken more fully in particulars but a clear information is manifested unto you who have an ear to hear and I am at present eased rests in the will of God ELISABETH NEVVTON IN the unity of the love and life of God we do give in our testimony for God having our selves been somtimes in bondage unto that spirit which leads into a liberty out of the order of God and in that state we looked upon our selves to be in an inward ground and looked upon such as with the true Light was guided to be more formal and legal in what they practiced to be no higher than Moses administration and here we had layed an inward g●●●d in a wrong spirit and our belief was placed in it wherein we could allow to our selves the liberty of using or not using such things as stood in outward practice looked upon them all to be far below our liberty but under our liberty the innocent sat in sorrow and such was the love of God unto us as in due time his own Arm reached to the oppressed his right hand hath done valiantly for us and mighty things he hath brought to pass and in his Light we are gathered amongst the Babes of his Kingdome where we have a part portion in his peace and blessing And therefore in faithfulness unto God and in love to your souls we warn you all who with this spirit is taken to submit to the power and spirit of life and fly from this spirit
