A78561 A tender salutation: or, loving epistle to such, who have a breathing in the innocent life of my friends with whom I walked in the outward observances. Also, for my relations (after the flesh) with all others professing God, and that have any breathings after the truth in the inward parts. Wherein something is declared in the power and light of God, concerning the sure foundation, and the house of God, with the inward glory, government, cloathing, feeding, non-superiority, and safety, that is in Gods habitation. With a word to the weak to establish them, that they faint not at the appearances of outward trouble for their consciences. - Whereunto is annexed a further discovery of God to my soul, concerning the spiritual temple, tabernacle and ark of Gods testimony, being the truth, life, and substance of the temple, tabernacle and ark of the testimony under the legal day. - To be read in the light, which discovers the things that be of God. - Chandler, Jacob. 1664 (1664) Wing C1927A; ESTC R227552 24,960 33

that the Lord God everlasting destroy cut up and consume carnal wisdom fleshly reason and fleshly will by thy Almighty power that they might never more hinder and deface thy pure holy glorious Image and breakings forth of thy innocent breath and of the pure and holy openings of thy indeared and tender love unto it And Friends in this life you shall be cloathed with this pure fine white linnen John declared of which is clean and white the which the Bride the Lambs wife is to bedeck her self with for the Marriage with the Lamb and therefore if any soul-pretends a Marriage with the Lamb and have not this fine white linnen which is the righteousnesse of the Saints he or them shall be dealt severely with he shall be taken by the Lord and bound cast out and his portion appointed with the Hypocrite where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth for ever Such shall be for ever banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power to be punished with everlasting destruction because they obeyed not the Lord who commanded them to put on this garment this righteousnesse which is the Lord Jesus in Spirit and truth and because they obeyed not therefore sudden destruction shall overtake them Therefore Friends all be exhorted in the pure fear and dread of the Almighty God to turn in and make inquiry into this pure spotlesse matchlesse fine white-linnen which is the righteousnesse of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the Saints and you may come to know it by its effects for as it hath been already declared that it 's soft Rayment so 't is it 's soft gentle and quiet where it is and it fills the soul with peace passing the carnal understanding the work of righteousnesse shall be peace and the effect of righteousnesse quietnesse and assurance for ever And this habitation of God where this soft cloathing is to be felt is a peaceable habitation there is sure dwellings and quiet resting places And Friends this ornament beautifies the soul in the sight of God because its the comelinesse of God the beauty of God that is upon it this soul worships God in the beauties of holinesse in the Spirit of power upon the Mountain of righteousnesse And Friends this garment does not make the soul proud but humbles though its glorious apparrel yet it does not puffe up but layes the soul low it sinks the soul deep into humility and brings the soul into a free resignation to God This soul thinks not scorn to hear the voyce of the Lord out of the mouth of a Babe and Suckling but is content yea joyes in the Spirit of the Lord to see the life move in a despised instrument by the world and carnal wisdom But those that have covered but not of the Spirit of the Lord not of this righteousnesse of this pure garment they are proud despisers of them that are good fierce and cruel to the Saints betrayers of the Saints and of one another as their self-interest lies yet build upon a form of godlinesse but denying the power thereof and will own little in reality but what is in their form and way Friends be still and consider these things and examine your hearts Know you not that this is set And further Friends I find from this inward adorning and beautifying my soul to God and to the Lamb a garment of praise spring up in me which leads me forth in the pure fear of the Lord to praise magnifie and adore the pure living God and here I come to experience and to feel what it is to sing a Hymne or spiritual Song unto the Lord God of life and unto the Lamb that sits upon the Throne singing praise and hallelujah to the Lord God Omnipotent because he has taken to himself his great Rule and Raign singing with grace in my heart which heretofore I had heard the sound of and many other things the which now my soul feels the living vertue power and spirit of Oh Friends labour to feel the living power of this and of these things in your own souls and then we shall rejoyce together and sing the Song of the Lamb which none can sing but those that are redeemed from the earth i. e. from the earthly will wisdom and practice for the carnal part has nothing to do herein but the Spirit only The precious Laws of Government in Gods House and the choice Anointings and Teachings by the Spirit AND further Friends the house the habitation of God through the Spirit that I declare of has precious Laws of Government and Rule in it which before was hinted at I am made willing in the power of God to speak a little further of it The Laws of Gods house are spiritual as the house is in the Spirit so are the Laws it s called the Law of the Spirit of life and this same Law ruled and governed in Christ Jesus Rom. 8.2 and so in a measure in all the sons and daughters of God This is the Law of the new Covenant that Law that comes from God out of Sion this Law is not in the letter but in the Spirit the letter is 〈…〉 the Law is within As God said I 'le put my Laws in your mind and write them in your hearts and they shall not teach every man his neighbour saying Know the Lord for all in whose heart this Law shall be made manifest shall know me from the least to the greatest Every one in particular as they come to have the seed of God the Lamb of God the life of God to rise in them they come to experience and feel this Law in the Spirit and life teaching directing counselling and guiding into all truth and as every particular comes to obey they come to have peace with God they shall be all taught of the Lord and great shall be their peace This peace passes all understanding and its such peace that none can speak but the eternal God nor can give but himself who is the God of peace God blessed for ever And therefore Friends every one of you turn in and look for the Law in your hearts in your minds to be guided by it and as you come to see it and to be taught by it obey it and give up your minds to be guided by it which will guide from sin Iniquity and transgression from the world the pride of it the fashions of it the lust of it and it will guide you into righteousness into life and peace with the eternal God Friends think not this manner of speech strange and contemptible I know in the spiritual knowing part whereof I do affirm and have had an inward feeling abundantly whereof I declare Spend not all your precious time in the Law of the letter written on paper with pen and ink without the Law in the Spirit written in your hearts by the Spirit of the living God Oh Friends what if you should never so much study the
