A Copy of a Letter sent to a Brother of his in America Dear Brother I Dearly salute thee in the Fear of the Lord in which I desire we may both be preserved all the days of our appointed time After my dear love presented unto thee hoping these will find thee in good health as I am at present blessed be the Lord and therefore I desire thee to sink down into Gods pure fear and let his pure dread and Holy Awe be continually upon thy heart and that will guide thee in the path of Righteousness and order thee aright in all things it will be as a Cloud by day as and of a Pillar fire by night to lead thee Thou knows in the days of our Childhood when we were left without Father and Mother the Lord took care of us and provided well for us that we have not suffered want nor hardships as many Children have done and when thou went first over into that Country in which thou now art thou wast then in a Sence of thy own weakness and littleness and wast as it were reconciled unto the Will of God and when thou wast in this State then thou wast safe and the Lord prospered thee in all thy undertakings and many People became thy Friends and thou didst get the love of many but now I fear thou hast lost the feeling of that which was then thy preservation and now thou art lifted up in thy prosperity and so forgets the Lord that made thee and hath given thee Breath and Being and so in Bowels of love to thy Soul do I write this to thee and not for any ill will I bear to thee the Lord knows my Heart but that thou might come to the Consideration of these things and for time to come let them be amended or else assuredly the hand of the Just GOD will be for ever so I dare not but warn thee in the Fear of the Lord and whether thou wilt hear or forbear I shall be clear concerning thee for I will assure thee I have besought the Lord with Tears many times concerning thee and this I am perswaded through Gods mercy that his love is still towards thee and he still waits to be gracious unto thee and to shew mercy unto thee if thou wilt return unto him therefore I desire thee in bowels of love to thy Soul do thou hearken to his voice and return to him with thy whole Heart and Soul and in Gods Fear sit down under his righteous judgments and wait in patience until he is pleased to appear and reveal himself unto thee and he will throw down the mountains of iniquity and cause the Hills of Transgression to fall before him he will make the Crooked ways straight and the rough places plane he will throw down the partition which the enemy hath built betwixt him and thy soul and he will make room for himself to dwell and make his abode with thee and so I desire that thou and I and all that makes mention of the Name of the Lord may depart from evil for thus saith the Lord Let all that makes mention of my Name depart from evil And therefore it is a weighty thing and we have great need to eye the Lord in all things and stand continually in his Councel that he may be our leader and our guide to the end of our days and therefore let us with one accord Humble our Souls before the GOD of HEAVEN and sit in the dust and with rended hearts cause our Crys to pierce through the Heavens and ascend up to him that sits upon the Throne of Glory and he will hear our Crys and answer the desires of our Souls if in the fervency of our hearts we pray unto him and so I desire that we may be preserved in the fear of the Lord and therefore in resignation to the Will of God do I commit my Soul with thine and the Souls of all our Brethren and Sisters and all our dear and near Relations every where and the Lord preserve us and the Lord keep us and protect us and guide us continually in his pure Fear and holy Awe that that may be the stay of all our minds unto the end of our appointed time that the God of Heaven may be our Portion and the Lot of our Inheritance that in the end of our days we may lay down our heads in peace where none can make us afraid and where our Bread for ever may be sure and our Water never failing that we may Exalt the Name of the Lord in the Land of the Living and return living Praises and everlasting Thanksgiving unto his Glorious Name for worthy is he over all to be praised and honoured everlastingly above all for ever and for evermore So no more but my dear Love to thee and Good Will toward all Men I rest and remain thy dear Loving Brother and eternal Lover of thy Souls Welfare Benjamin Padley North Frodingham in Houllderness in Yorkshire 20th of 3d.
