A60851 Some breathings of life, from a naked heart presented in love to the honest, vpright, and single-hearted, that they, with me may wait to feel the imediate drawings, and leadings of the Holy Spirit in all things ... so that they need not any man to teach them, 1 Joh. 2. 27., with an epistle for peace and unity.

grow green and the Renown will go forth as a wise and an understanding People that stand in the Councel of God and the God of Peace will dwell among you and bruise Sathan under your feet And so to live in the True Unity of the Spirit and not to quench it nor grieve it For if the Spirit be quenched then the Unity is quenched for in that it stands for the bond of Peace is strengthend the more the Spirit and Power is united to wherein is the Fellowship which I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ which is the Power of God unto Salvation out of which is not safety And this Fellowship and Unity in the Spirit and Power of the Lord is Strong and Unalterable and unlesse there be a going from the Power and Spirit it cannot be broken for as not any outward thing can or doth make it so neither can it break it which keeps down the mans part in all or that that would exalt self that the Lord alone may be exalted And it is a nearer Unity the Lord is bringing his People into then any outward thing can break it W. S. Let this Passe through all Friends of God Written by his Servant Prisoner in Rome DEar Sisters and Brethren and Holy Building of God we must be like Lambs Suffering all things that we may be like our Father the Shepheard For God Almighty suffereth all things and easeth his burthened and grieved Spirit of his Adversaries when he will I well know it And therefore as Dear Children take occasion to speak to each other in the pure bowels and to cherish one another that you may be prepared and trimmed with the mighty strength to bear every Tryal and comfort your hearts in the Lord who will do great things which your patient hearts shall see in his time Therefore wait and pray and believe and go to one anothers Houses and visit one another and especially the Prisoners and the Afflicted and the Tribulated that you may be Consolation to them in the Name of the Lord and kisse one another in the Immortal and so be joyned as one in the Wedlock of the Lamb For so am I exceeding dearly bound to you all and in the simplicity dwell which saith yea and it is yea and nay and it is nay and thee and thou for the Crosse is there And all must come to the first day and second day and third day and to all the six dayes for the Kingdome of Heaven is in you which stands not in words but in Power which is the seventh day of Rest to which all must come And so in the truth you stand in the Power of God which brings forth all your words in Subjection to the Power and thus they are spoken in the Kingdome in the Pureness and Plain-heartednesse And here they are not a tradition but the fruits of the Power and so are all the actions of the same nature by which God is Gloryfied in you and the whole world confounded before you And as concerning Tythes all Friends must stand in the Power of God to Saluation which is the Cross of Christ for Christ is the everlasting High-priest of freedom from the first Priest-hood and all the tythes and carnall Ordinances which appertained thereunto who by the Purchace of his Blood hath he ransomed you from them all No man therfore ought for the love of the things of the world by paying Tythes to deny the Blood of Christ and the Lord which bought them least in so doing they draw fire on their own heads And as touching the observation of dayes all must come into him which Created all dayes and then they are over them all for God is the Lord of the whole Creation and we know that God ceaseth not his labour every day who dwells in his everlasting Sabbath of rest whose Soul is grieved with such as are in the observation of days which know not him that created them for God feedeth the Sheep and the Wormes and the Fishes and the Fowls and Children and men and all quick things in the Wombe and maketh the Vines and the plants and Corn and Flowers grow without respect of dayes and maketh the Rivers run and the Seas to Ebb and Flow and the Rain falls and the Sun shines and the Winds blow and it Lightens and Thunders and Hailes and the Sun and the Moon and the Stars go their course without respect of dayes And we know that all these are the continual works of God who also causeth the Bryers and Thorns to be plucked up and the unfruitful and dry Trees to be cut down and maketh them rot as they stand in the ground and killeth the Creatures in the Sea and in the Earth by death and slays men by Sword Fire Plagues Famine and by Death without respect of dayes and still God is in his Rest and we in him do like him Labour all dayes without respect of dayes which is the true Godlinesse to be like God and are in Gods Sanctified Sabbath Day of Everlasting Rest and the whole World sees us not but is Confounded And in Order to Prayer many of the World take off their Hats and pray standing in the Synagogues with their heads covered and rest in that Service But Christ kneeled down and so did the Apostles and Daniel besides others of the Holy men of God fell down with their faces to the ground prayed with their Heads uncovered and we read not that in a Custom they took off their Hats or Caps Stand you therefore in the Power of God to Salvation which is the Crosse of Christ to all that stand in the Customs and Traditions and ask the World what is the difference between the fleshly Head of a Carnal Man and a Carnal Woman and which of them two God doth most respect That one stands in such an exercise with Hoods and fine Dressings or Hat on and the other with Hat or Cap of And the Answer of the Seed in them will confound them and hereby God Almighty is glorified in you And therefore as you stand over the Worlds Head in like manner stand over all their Hats and Caps also And if any Friends are moved of the Lord God to Pray in the Congregation of God falling down with their faces to the ground without taking off the Hat or the Shooes let them so do in the Name and Fear of the Lord and if the World be contentious ask them why take you off your Hats without precept and not your Shooes seeing it was a precept which God Commanded Moses saying Take off thy Shooes from off thy Feet and the Seed will Answer you in secret and so God is Glorified and the World Confounded J. P. THe first time that any thing hath been touched concerning the Ceremony of taking off the Hat was when J. P. was Prisoner in ROME in the Solid and weighty Seed of the Kingdom not in a Light or Contentious Spirit as may be seen by the foregoing Paper of His And though several hath seen and felt the thing as it was in themselves yet it may be hath not publickly declared it or it might not be laid upon them to Publish it What is it therefore to be dispised because it came from a Suffering Servant of the lord Though in this Case I desire to know no man after the flesh For if I see and feel it be of the Lord it is sufficient for Christ is my Alpha and Omega he who is the Beginning and the End the First and the Last And who is it shall lay any thing to the Charge of Gods Elect It is God that Justifieth who shall Condemn For when I saw it or it came to my hand to write it I had this Testimony for it in Spirit That it was in the Dominion and Authority of the Lords own Spirit And this I have to say farther if any thing be revealed to another is not the first to hold his Peace For the Spirit of the Prophets is to be subject to the Prophets and God is not the Author of Contention and Strife but of Peace as in all the Churches of the Saints And this is according to the True Church Order Subjection to the Spirit of the Lord in one another and the Prophesying one by one that all may be Comforted and all may be Edified Therefore have Salt in your selves and Savour and Love whereby you may Edifie one another for that which hurteth or destroyeth is out of Gods Holy Mountain These Books may be Enquired for of Thomas Simmons OH Day of Tryal come thou art For to Discover every heart And manifest things as they be That all the Innocent may see The Man that doth the Life possesse From him that onely it Professe Yea thou wilt shew them who they are That Soar'd up above the Spheare In words in Carriage or in Action Which gave the Seed no Satisfaction And such before that thou art over Their Nakednesse thou wilt Discover Whereby some that deceiv'd have been And catcht by them as in a Gin Will be Ashamed and sit down And wait within to feel their own Eternall Gift to guide again And Life to breath upon the slain And as these things they come to feel It will afresh revive their Zeal To stand against every thing That would to God dishonour bring And patiently the Crosse to bear Whoever flee it they will not dare Because they 'l see it would offend And bring them sorrow in the End The Living God who is so just That all that will him follow must Deny themselves in every thing And wait on him who is their King GEORGE FOX The Younger THE END
