who have tasted of his Everlasting Love which is shed abroad in our Hearts towards his own Seed And in that Love which the Lord God of my Life hath loved me with all do I exhort thee and beseech thee unto whom this may come that thou slight not the day of thy Visitation for if thou dost the Lord will slight thee when the day of thy Calamity cometh upon thee to try thee therefore I say unto thee slight it not least the Lord come and spue thee out of his Mouth and thou seek the Lord with tears as Esau did and could not find the Blessing For the Spirit of the Lord shall not alwayes strive with Man therefore sink down low to the witness of God in thee that so thou mayest come to have Peace with God in thy own particular and so being obedient unto the Light of Christ in thee thereby thou mayest come to witness victory over all that which hath vailed from thee the Pure Seed of God in thee and so my dearly beloved Friend unto whom my Life reaches that all might come to the Knowledge of Life in themselves and live which is the desire of my Soul and the desire of all them that love and fear the Lord Jesus Christ who is my Life and the length of my Dayes in whom I live not I but Christ in me the Hope of Glory as the Scriptures of truth do bear witness Unto that of God in all mens Consciences do I speak which is my witness and the Apostle bears witness of the same when he saith Know ye not that Christ is in you except ye be reprobates so then I say as thou tenderest the good of thy immortal Soul Dwell in the Light which is the way that leads to Life which all the Prophets and all the Apostles and all the Holy men of God did witness Christ the Way the Truth and the Light as thousands can witness at this day all Glory and Honour Praise Power and Thanks be given unto his Blessed Holy Glorious Name for ever and for ever who first loved us when we were in our Blood he said unto us live and is become unto us a place of broad Rivers and Streams of Everlasting Life flowing into our Hearts to nourish his own Plant in us whom he hath called and chosen to bear Testimony for his name Sake everlasting Pure Praises be given unto him who liveth for ever who is our King Priest and Law-Giver unto whom the gathering is and shall be for ever all praises be given to his holy Name for he is become unto us the chiefest among ten thousands and more to be desired than the Honey or the Honey-Combe of all them that fear him and keep his Commandments and more to be Embraced then fine Gold And as we abide faithful unto the Lord we know that we shall all sit down with Abraham Isaac and Jacob where none shall make us afraid though ten thousands rise up against us yet shall we not fear what man can do unto us for our God is on our side Who then can be against us who works all our Works in us and for us continually who never ceases to administer daily refreshment unto his own Seed in us Everlasting holy Praises be given unto my Heavenly Father who is my Eternal Portion and my exceeding great reward who hath redeemed me from Death to Life and from under the Power of Satan unto God and hath set my feet upon a Rock which Rock is Christ in me the hope of Glory In whom I live and move and have my Being and unto him alone belongeth all the Glory for of my self I can do nothing But it is he that worketh all his Works in me by the Word of his own Power by which I stand even at this present time and am preserved through all Straits by Sea and by Land and through good report and evil report and whatsoever may come for his Name Sake Who so loved the World that he sent his only begotten Son into the World that whosoever believes in him should not perish but should have Everlasting Life abiding in them for he came to save Sinners of whom I was the chief but now I am washed and cleansed through the Blood of Christ Jesus which God hath revealed in me by the Revelation of his only begotten Son without which none can see God and live This is to go all over the Earth that so People may come to see their Sins and repent and live given forth from the moving of the Spirit of the Lord God in tender Love unto the Seed of God in all mens Consciences to whom I write who am a true lover of Israels Good and would have none to perish in their Sins but that all might come to the Knowledge of him and live in whom is Life and Salvation and with him there is Plenteous Redemption for evermore that he may be feared and worshipped in Spirit and in Truth for such is the Father seeking to worship him as do worship him in Spirit and in Truth as thousands do witness in these our dayes in whom he hath revealed the Image of his only begotten Son in our hearts Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour in whom we live and move and have our Being who is the Rock of Ages and Generations so that Generations which are to come shall bless and praise his holy Name for these our dayes wherein he hath made known of the Riches of his Grace and of his Majesty in our Hearts and hath shed it abroad unto all Nations Kindreds and People that so they might come to the knowledge of Salvation for their Immortal Souls and live in whom is Life O all People be obedient unto that of God in your own Consciences which makes manifest the deeds of darkness in your own particulars that you may come to feel the springs of Life to nourish the Plant which his own right hand hath planted in you O love the Light that leads to Life and Salvation O let it take impression in your hearts so shall it be worn in the inward part of the mind which is the searcher of all secrets and knows the intents of the same for they are all naked and bare before him O my dearly beloved Friend in whose hearts there is any tender desires begotten Keep to the Light and dwell low in it for if ever thou come'st to know Salvation for thy Soul thou must know it in thee for Christ saith that none cometh unto the Father but by me and none knoweth the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son revealeth him and he saith I and my Father are one and he saith Ye are my Friends if ye do whatsoever I command you to do and his Commandements are not grievous but joyous unto all them that keep them in truth and uprightness of heart and mind unto whom the Son of Righteousness is risen with healing in his wings and he will thorowly
