Day of the LORD which is come to gather the Out-casts and to cleanse the Camp of Evil-doers The Life of the LAMB is risen whose Spouse was is and must be chast unto Him without spot wrinkle or any such thing The Fear I say the Fear of the LORD keeps the heart clean for it 's only the Clean and Pure in heart that can see GOD. Many I say many have been called yet few have followed the LORD fully The Wisdom I say the Wisdom of the JVST is risen to confound the Wisdom of the Wise I am a Messenger of glad Tydings to all that are of an upright heart to the LORD I say I am not only a Messenger of glad-Tydings to all that are of an upright and single heart to the LORD but also am a Messenger of Woe and Misery to all the workers of Iniquity J. P. Here follows some Lines which the LORD having made mee a Living witness of are a true and faithful Testimony I am also to Publish J. P. AS I was sinking down into the Invisible Life it lay hard upon mee to warn every one and that in the pure Fear of the LORD to return home with haste unto Him and to cease from all men who are but as the dust of the Earth before His Mightys Power which Power His Children dread to disobey What though those People that have called themselves by His Name be come out as it were with Swords and Staves against Him to betray the Innocent and to raise up malitious evil Reports against those who though in themselves are feeble yet have nothing in their eye but to follow His Leadings Having many years agoe received the Truth in the love of it and also in the Faith thereof that it and it only was and is sufficient to Lead and to Guide and to preserve out of all evil all those that diligently and with a single heart wait upon it as we the two Servants of the LOKD are Witnesses whom Hee hath joyned together having first wholly redeemed us out of the love and the delight of all visible things and shewed largely to us the emptiness and vanity of them all then did He make of us Twain One which when we came to Publish and that with simple innocent hearts before the LORD and many Witnesses then did many cast out their floods of Opposition and Reviling as if there were no GOD to behold their Words and Actions yet in patience and innocency were we kept even as Lambs dumb before the Shearer and opened not our mouths in the least to revile again Saying O LORD it 's Thou that fully Justifies it matters not who condemns and wee know Thee to be our Shield and our exceeding great Reward So in Thy Holy Awe and Fear are we made to declare against all that tyrannical Power that would be Lord over the Conscience of the least Babe that knows Thee to be their Father and to say do but Thou lead and wee are willing to follow Thee through both good and evil Report for Thou hast of a truth indear'd our Souls unto Thee and to nothing else besides Thee Glad should wee be to bear all in silence and not to meddle in any Case if Thy Will were so But the Righteous Seed is raised up that respects no People for their outward Forms of Religion but bears witness against all unrighteousness in which to live are wee called and every Soul that pants after it and cannot live without it shall enjoy it The Day is come that the pure in heart sees the LORD and parts with all for His Sake following Him through great Tribulation Oh! let the Souls of all that love Him bow to none besides Him Even so let it be with all the upright in heart saith His Servant 23d of the month call'd November 1671. Mary Pennyman O Thou Righteous Everlasting Seed how hast Thou been my Preserver from my Infancy I cannot forget how Thou hast followed mee with Mercies and multiplyed Thy Blessings upon mee Now is Thy Reward felt for all Reproaches Let none through unbelief depart from Thee for Thou art certainly the same this Day to all that trust in Thee and love nothing in comparison of Thee Draw all Thine after Thee to rest in peace with Thee as my Soul doth at this Day M. P. The Day of tryal is come that no Hypocrite can pass through The Fury of the ALMIGHTY is broken forth to trouble and torment all the double-hearted The evil Spies are discovered that seek to weaken the Faith of those that follow the Leadings of the Pure Spirit of Life because it leads not according to their Imaginations The subtilty and wisdom of Man is rejected by the LORD confusion and darkness is come upon it Wee being call'd into the Countrey that day forty dayes after the Publication of our Marriage at which time this following was writ NOW are forty dayes expired since the Waters began to swell which swell'd so high that they even overflowed all Banks so that I may say as of old That all flesh dyed that moved upon the Earth For as it was then that none could be preserv'd or kept alive to the LORD but who were preserv'd and kept alive in the ARK so it is now SHee that can receive it let him And now the DOVE having brought mee Glad-Tydings that the Waters are somewhat abated The ARK is to be opened and the Seed of the Righteous that was preserved and kept therein must now go forth and replenish the Earth which hath for a long time been void and as it were without form so that the Souls of the Upright have had little Pleasure or Delight therein but now is the Day of Glad-Tydings come now is the Day of their true Joy witnessed now is the Day of their Singing at hand now will the LORD alone be Exalted yea I say Hee alone will be Exalted in this Day wherein all the Wisdom of the Wise is confounded and will yet more abundantly that know not Him or that measure of Himself which Hee hath given to every One to be their Guide and Leader Wherefore be awakened all ye Sons and Daughters of Men of what Profession or Perswasion of Religion soever you are of for this is a Visitation from the LORD unto you happy are you that can and that do receive it Yea it is such a Visitation of His Love unto you that I am to declare and that in His Name and Authority That your Forms of Religion and outward Worship set up is not at all this day acceptable to Him so that every one that love your own Souls and desire to serve the LORD GOD only must hasten out from amongst them and return to Him and wait upon Him alone that so you may not dare to Sacrifice or Worship Him but as you witness Him to be your Guide and Leader For as it was of old that all Sacrifices and Worships that were not offered and performed by His requiring were abomination to Him so it is now Hee that hath an ear to hear let him hear yea let him hear what the Spirit saith for the Spirit speaketh expresly in this our Day That the Children of the LORD shall be taught of the LORD Wherefore come away you Sons and Daughters of the MOST HIGH you that have long waited for this Day wherein the SEED must be set at liberty from all Bonds yea I say from all manner of Bonds So that this is the Message I am to declare to you at this time That you set up no more Teachers without you but that you hearken and obey the Teachings of the LORD GOD within you for no longer will Hee be mocked but such as you sow such must you reap and if they be your Gods then hearken and follow them but if the LORD be your GOD then hearken and follow Him yet whatever you do or whomsoever you will serve this I have determined as the Servant of the LORD did that I and my House will serve the LORD GOD onely And thus I am clear from the Blood of all Men having faithfully Declar'd what the LORD hath required of mee who am a true lover of All without respect of Person because I am at perfect peace with the LORD J. P. Glad Tydings of great Joy is sent abroad to all you who have kept the Faith and not loved your lives unto death THe SEED is Raised the CHILD is Born wee have seen His appearance and are called to worship Him in the Spirit and in the Truth and cannot but rejoyce with an exceeding great Joy for the Deaf hear the Dumb speak the Lame walk and to the Poor the Gospel is Preached Blessed are they that can receive it But now do the wise Men seek to destroy the young Child's life though with fair pretences that They also would worship Him yea they are exceeding wrath and would destroy if possible every motion of life that springs up purely in every true Thirster after it but the Voice is heard This is My Beloved Son hear ye Him Glory is given to the LORD on High and good-will is offered unto Men. Behold this Manifestation is appointed for the Fall and Rising again of many in this day and for a Sign which shall be spoken against But in THEE in THEE is our Souls delight who have longed to see Thy DAY break forth in its Glory though many dayes wee have suffered with Thee in mourning and weeping being ready to say They have take away my LORD and I know not where they have laid Him But now is the Joy received that none can take away How can wee but call upon all to cast off whatever would hinder and to wait with all diligence to receive HIM that none but the pure in heart can see who by His quickening Power hath raised the Dead to Life Behold it is come and it is done saith the LORD GOD this is the Day whereof I have spoken Here is the Patience of the Saints Here are They that keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of JESUS THE END
