one another upon Reports before the Report be fully sought into and found out to be true then let Judgment go forth according to Gospel Order that Sin may not remain upon thy Brother nor thou to put a Stumbling-block in thy Brother's way to cause him to stumble by the reporting that which is false and judging him thereupon That Judgment passed upon False Reports will return back upon such as give it The Judgments of the Lord are true and there is no Unrighteousness in them he judges nothing but what is for Judgment and that which is for Judgment ought to be judged where ever it appears I would not have that spared in any particular which causeth Division in the Church of God for that weakens themselves and hurts others Tale-bearers work against the Truth and may weaken some Members in the Church but that Work communicates no Divine Strength to the Body nor any Member thereof for my own particular I never could well digest such since I had any Knowledge how to put a Difference betwixt Good and Evil. Therefore Dear Friends and Brethren I exhort you as a Brother in Love All to follow the things that make for Peace follow after Righteousness and feel the Righteous Judgments of God to take place upon all that which is contrary to God in every particular O live in Love be at Peace one with another Love thinks no Evil speaks no Evil carryes no Tales or Evil Reports it suffers long and hopeth all things and beareth all things and vaunteth not it self nor is easily puffed up God Almighty keep you all stedfast in the Love of God and one another You know Love is of God and that you ought to dwell in it O! dwell in Love then you dwell in God and cannot hurt one another nor can do nothing against the Truth but for it then there is not many Masters nor striving for Mastery nor many Minds but all in the one Mind of the Lord and he alone exalted and of one Heart in the one Spirit minding the same things and cleaving to and following whatsoever things are lovely honest and of good report then thou wilt be one with the Flock of God in all these things that tend so much to the Honour of God and keeping all sweet and savoury and wilt mind the Foot-steps of the Flock of God and follow the Lord fully And Dear Friends every where Keep up your Meetings in the Name and Power of the Lord God who hath owned us and been with us in all our Sufferings for his Name 's sake let none deny his Name nor bring a Reproach upon his Name by any Unfaithfulness in any part of your Testimony which you are called to bear for his Name and Truth O meet together as your former manner was although ye should meet with greater Tryals and Sufferings then formerly look not thereat but look at that Arm and Power of God which formerly saved and delivered us and is able to save to the uttermost from whatsoever the Devil and all his Agents can do against us For O how hath the Arm and Power of the Lord prevailed against the Power of the Devil and his working through many of his Instruments that have appeared against the Truth of God and our meeting together in the Name Power of the Lord And how have we witnessed Christ Jesus in us and amongst us greater then he that is in the World who as a strong man armed hath wrought in many Professors Prophane and Apostates against the glorious Truth of God and our meeting together in his Name which we have owned believed in and born witness unto above every Name and which we know every Knee must bow unto Therefore have many been angry with us and with great Madness and Enmity have endeavoured our Overthrow and Ruin and to hinder us from meeting together as our former manner hath been to wait upon God and to serve and worship him in Spirit and Truth as he requires of us for this have many been enraged against us and set themselves against Christ's Appearance in us and our worshipping of him in Spirit and Truth but many of their wicked Devices which they have devised against us hath God confounded and brought to nought and this our Eyes have seen brought to pass to the Wo and Torment of many of the Adversaries of Truth and us the People of God who meet together in it Therefore Dear Friends be you all incouraged to meet together in the Fear of the Lord sitting down together in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus so as you have felt you will more and more feel his Name as precious Oyntment poured forth and he will anoint you with fresh Oyl and you will be made Partakers with him of his Joy and Gladness and let no Backwardness or Carelesness nor a sleight Esteem appear in any of you in meeting together For that Spirit that would cool thy Love to or any wayes lessen thy esteem of the Meetings of the Saints and People of God where they meet together in his Name and to do his Will this spirit is not of God but it is of this World and is for Condemnation wherever it appears So be you Stedfast alwayes abounding in the Work of the Lord that you may stir up the Gift of God in one another and edifie one another and help to build up one another in the most holy Faith and so ye will confound the dead Faiths and be Instruments in the Hand of the Lord to make void the Evil glorying of them who are in the dead and unholy Faichs that work not by Love nor do not stand in the Power of God but are made up by the wisdom of Man and stand therein all such will be manifest more and more and their works of Envy and Opposition to be for the Fire a Dreadful Consuming Fire is kindled to the utter consuming of the Dead Unholy Faiths that men have devised with the Fruits thereof and the living Faith that was first delivered to the Saints and the Fruits and Works of Righteousness wrought in God must come over all the Dead Faiths and Works of Unrighteousness of the Man of Sin the bad Worker that works in all the Children of Disobedience and the Beast with his many Heads and Horns and the False Prophet that stirs up the Beast with his Horns to push at the faithful Followers of the Lamb must be taken and given to the Burning Flame and the Lamb and his true Followers shall have the Victory over the Beast and over his Mark and the Number of his Names and the Lord that hath begun this great Work and carried it on blessedly and succesfully will compleat and finish it to his own Glory and Praise To whom be all Glory Honour and Praises for he is worthy for ever and evermore And my dear Brethren Si the state of Fathers and Mothers in Israel Keep up your Men and Women's Meetings that were set up in the Power and Wisdom of God to keep all that profess the Truth of God in the Savoury Life of it and in the Order of the Gospel and stand up for God and the wholsom Order of the Gospel against all that that would lay it waste and let in Vnfaithfulness and the Wor. ld's Disorderly Spirit that you all may be Helpers together in the Work of the Lord against that which causeth Divisions or which any ways would let or hinder the Prosperity of God's blessed Work which he hath begun in this Glorious Day of his Power that the Truth may rule and reign in every Heart and amongst us over that which is contrary so Peace shall be within our Walls and the Truth and Power of God will go over all that which opposeth and exalteth it self against the spreading of it These things lay as a Necessity upon me to put you in mind of and to stir up your pure Minds by way of Remembrance of them though you know them already that you all might be Doers of that which is good be justified of the Lord when be judgeth And I was constrained to be large in this Epistle because in the writing of it much of the Love of God I felt and my Heart much opened towards the whole Family and Flock of God every where and for their Concord Peace and Prosperity for which Cause I have travelled endeavouring every where where I have come to bring all to the Measure of the Stature of the Fulness of Christ and to a perfect man in him in whose precious Love I remain Your Dear Friend and Brother JAMES PARKE
