To all that Desire and Breath after THE LORD AND The true Knowledge of his Everlasting Way and the Righteousness and Peace of that Kingdom which consisteth not in Words but in Power Life and Joy in the Holy Ghost And whose soules truly hunger after that Bread of Life which cometh down from above 1 Cor. 4.20 which who cometh to eat of saith John Chap. 6.35 shall never hunger more without which your souls cannot be satisfied nor the expectation thereof answered Even to you all I say the Visitation and tender Salutation of the Fathers Love through me reacheth with Informatiof and certain Call unto that Way and Truth of the Everlasting God in which many at this day find the true peace and satisfaction to their souls who have long sought and enquired after him who now are come to find him Written by JOSEPH COALE London Printed in the Year 1667. To all you that Desire and Breath after the Lord and the true Knowledge of his Everlasting Way and the Righteousness and Peace of that Kingdom which consisteth not in Words but in Power Life and Joy in the Holy Ghost c. OH Friends and distressed scattered People Ezek. 34● throughout who have been as Sheep scattered upon the Mountains without a Shepherd in the cloudy dark and dismal Day which hath come over the World in which men have been groping as the blind for the Wall and have not found the resting place but have wandred to and fro from Mountain to Hill and have even wearied themselves for very vanity Jer. 50.6 and spent their money for that which proves to be no bread and their labour for that which at length doth not nay cannot satisfie the truly hungry soul Wherefore oh ye People in every desolate Village arise arise and hearken ye to the Voice and Call of the true Shepherd who is now calling and seeking you awake awake and arise that he may give you Life Hearken diligently unto him Ephes 5.13 14. and ye shall eat that which is good and let your soul delight it self in fatness Incline your ear and come unto him hear and your souls shall live and he will make an everlasting Covenant with you even the sure mercies of David Seek ye the Lord while he may be found Isa 55.1 2 3 4 5 6 7. and call ye upon him while he is near let the wicked forsake his wayes and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord and he will have mercy upon him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon Now Jesus Christ he is the true Shepherd that layeth down his life for the Sheep John 10.11 27. and his Sheep hear his voice and they follow him and he leads them forth and gives unto them eternal Life and satisfies their soules as they hear his voyce who speaks within by his Light and Spirit in the heart and conscience which whosoever hears and obeys and follows shall be led into the green pastures of Life and shall come to know a quiet and sure resting place by the Rivers of living Water where they shall lye down and none shall make them afraid and shall eat and be filled and drink and be satisfied Oh therefore ye that are hungry and that find a want of the true Bread and desire to be satisfied hearken diligently to the Light and Voice of Christ in you even that true Light which he hath enlightened you withal Ps 36.8 which convinceth of sin and sheweth the thoughts and intents of the heart and lets you see your own estates and conditions I say hearken unto it and wait low in it and therein will you feel and know the true power of God arise to work in you by which you will feel a stop put unto sin and a subjecting of that evil spirit which hath led you into disobedience and transgression against God your Maker and into the ways and works which are displeasing to him because of which you have been separated from him and wandring in the wayes of death and darkness where your souls have been laden and burdened Isa 59.1 2. and compassed about with sorrow and trouble being separated from its true life and having lost the feeling of that power which preserves our of sin and transgression which you will come to feel as your mindes are turned into that Light of the Lord Jesus which doth appear in you against all sin and unrighteousness in which as you believe you will receive power even the power of Christ who is the true Light that lighteth all mankind John 1.12 or every man coming into the world by which power you will feel a subjecting of your minds and nature and thoughts bringing you into the true obedience to Christ so you will be made willing to follow him in the denial of the world its works wayes and all things that are contrary to him which they that will be his Disciples must be separated from 2 Cor. 10.5 and must deny themselves as he hath said and take up the Cross and follow him who is not of the world and therefore the world hates him and those that do follow him whose Kingdom is not of this world and cannot be entred into but through the denial of the world its wayes and works as I have said and though such now are hated Luke 9.23 and cast out of the fellowship and society of the world because they cannot be partakers with it in its sins and unrighteous wayes and cannot be conformable to them in their practises and wayes of worship which are contrary to the perswasion of the Spirit of God in their Consciences yet the Lord will and doth receive them into Fellowship and Communion with himself who saith Isa 51 7. Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness the people in whose heart is my law Fear ye not the reproaches of men neither be ye afraid of their revilings Isa 50.15 for the Moth shall eat them up like a Garment and the Worm shall eat them up like Wool but my Righteousness shall be for ever and my Salvation from generation to generation And though such are reviled and cast out because they have and do deny the world and cannot be conformable to its changable wayes and are made a prey upon because they depart from iniquity yet the Lord will appear to their joy and their enemies shall be ashamed Chap. 66.5 and he will receive such as are cast out for his Name sake and speak comfortably to his Beloved And therefore all you tender-hearted people that cannot turn with the wind in conforming to those things which are contrary to the perswasion of that Light of God's Spirit in your Consciences but feel in your selves breathings and longings after immortal substance and would rather suffer outwardly in your persons and estates the punishments forfeitures and penalties of mans Law than transgress the righteous Law of God written in the
