A54175	A letter of love to the young-convinced of that blessed everlasting way of truth and righteousness, now testified unto by the people of the Lord (called Quakers) of what sex, age and ranck soever, in the nations of England, Ireland and Scotland, with the isles abroad, but more particularly those of that great city of London : spiritual refreshments, holy courage and perfect victory from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.	Penn, William, 1644-1718.	1669 (1669)	Wing P1322; ESTC R15259	3,815	8

Liberties nor Life it self deter us from our Holy Constancy but as the faithful Ancients did of old through Desarts Wildernesses and solitary Places in Goats-Skins and Sheep-Skins endure all Torments and bitter Mockings in this Earthly Pilgrimage for the Inheritance which is Everlasting So My Dear Friends Let us do as we have them for our Example however let us be very careful to shew all due Respect to our Relations not to be Exalted nor any wayes Unruly lest there be just Cause taken against us and the blessed Truth should suffer but in the still retired holy and patient Life this pure eternal Principle of Light and Truth as seriously and diligently waited on certainly brings into let us all dwell and abide so shall we feel the Powerful Operations of God's Holy Spirit to the more compleat redeeming of our exercised Souls from under the Dominion of Sin and to the giving all of us a clearer Understanding and sounder Judgment of those things that are to be parted from as the Pleasures Cares and Customs of the World that stand in the faln Nature and only nourish the same but crucifie the Self-denying Lord of Glory and of the Things of God and his spiritual Kingdom which are to be adhered to that in his pure Wisdom which is from above we may all be kept and preserved over all the Snares and Temptations of the Adversary both on the Right Hand and on the Left And as one that is a Travailer in this Way I even Beseech Caution Admonish you all in the Holy Awe of God That you never forbear Meeting Assembling of your selves with the Holy Remnant amongst whom we first received our Blessed Convincement O! forever let us Honour the Lord's Truth and those who do sincerely profess the same but more especially such as were in Christ before us for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. And let us beware of Lightness Jesting or a Careless Mind which grieves the Holy Spirit that stands ready to seal us unto the Day of our perfect Redemption but let us be Grave Weighty and Temperate keeping low in Body as well as Mind that in all things we may be Examples and a Sweet Savour for the God who hath loved and called us And My Dear Friends Let us keep in the Simplicity of the Cross of Jesus even in Plainness of Speech and out of the World's flattering and deceitful Respects for we are as well to be a Cross in our Garbes Gates Dealings and Salutations as Religion and Worship to this Vain Adulterated and Apostatized Generation So in the pure Measure of Truth that hath been manifested to every Particular and has convinced us of the Unrighteousness of the World and the Vanity and Emptiness of all its Professions of God Christ and Religion O let us stand and abide that we may feel it to be our Refuge and strong Tower when the Enemy shall approach either by Inward Exercise or Outward Bonds and Sufferings which in all likelihood will suddenly overtake us for the Tryal of our most precious Faith so shall we sensibly experience that heavenly Blood of cleansing to stream therefrom which only can give Remission cleanse from all Sin and finally purge the Conscience from Dead Works to serve the Living Everlasting Holy God Almighty Lord of Hosts King of Nations and King of Saints And whatsoever things are True whatsoever things are Honest whatsoever things are Just whatsoever things are Pure whatsoever things are Lovely and whatsoever things are of Good Report if there be any Vertue if there be any Praise O let us mind these things and the God of Peace that has by his Eternal Quickening Power raised Jesus in Thousands from the Dead Bless Accompany and Preserve us over all Tryals and Tribulations unto his Eternal Habitations of Rest and Glory Carberry in the Country of Cork the 19th of the 12th Month 1669. Your Brother and Fellow-Travailer in the Kingdom and Patience of Jesus our Lord W. P. THE END
