ALL people every where repent, and turne to the Lord with speed,Isa. 34.1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Isa. 66.15, 16. for the great day of the Lord is comming, Now the abhomination of the desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet stands in the holy place, let him that reads understand; Awake, Awake, and stand up to Judgement, Repent and turne to the Lord with speed, for the great day of the Lord cometh; it hasteth greatly, wherein the Lord will plead with all flesh, by his sword and by fire, and great shall be the slaine of them; he will cut off the Chemerims, the Black-Coats,Zeph. 1.4. with the Priests, and they shall weare no more a rough Gar­ment, to deceive, and the Lord will cut off them that beare Silver out of the Land. The day of the Lord cometh, wherein the great man shall cry bitterly;Zeph. 13.4. Zeph. 1.11, 12. Joel 2.10, 11, 12. 2 Pet. 3.10, 11, 12, 13. Thus saith the Lord, Blow the Trumpet in Sion, sound [...]n alarme in my holy mountaine, let all the Inhabitants of [...]he land tremble, the Sun shall be turned into darknesse, and [...]he Moone into bloud, and the Stars shall withdraw their [...]ining, And Heaven and Earth shall passe away, but [...]ot one jot nor tittle of my word, shall in no wise faile, till [...]l be fulfilled; Now the Lord is fulfilling [...]is promi­ses, [Page 2]made in the time of old, and the earth shall be burnt, [...]. ch. 13.8, with all the workes therein: Neverthelesse, according to his promise, we looke for new Heavens and new Earth, [...]ev. 21.23, [...] the end.

Now all people whose mindes are abroad, and whose hearts are in the earth, running on in the broad way that leads to destruction, consider where you are, and returne to the Lord whilst you have time,Mat. 7.13. now the Lord is coming to call all to an account, whose ser­vants they are, and whose workes they have wrought. Know ye not, Rom. 6.16. that his servants you are, to whom ye doe obey? he that commits sinne is the servant of sin; Let every one that names the name of Christ, depart from iniquity,Mal. 4. the Lord is of purer eyes then to behold Iniquity, he is a consuming fi [...]e, and no uncleane thing shall stand before him; Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, [...] Joh. 4. shall be hewen downe, and cast into the fire; behold the day commeth that shall burne as an Oven, and all that are proud, and all that doe wickedly, shall be as stubble, [...]sa. 66.15, 6. and the day that commeth shall burne and consume them up, and shall leave them neither roote nor branch; every one in particular consider whose servan [...]s you are, for he that commi [...]s sin is th [...] servant of the Devill, and every one must be trye [...] by fire, the Lord is coming to plead with all flesh, by his sword and by fire, and all fruitlesse trees must be cut downe and cast into the Lake,Mat. 25.41▪ o ther 46. that burneth with fire and Brimstone; see what trees you are every one and what fruit is brought forth by you, for the day doth discover every mans workes, of what sort it is and every man must be rewarded according to hi [...] deeds; see what trees you are, and what fruits are brought forth by you; cumber not the ground ye fruit­lesse trees,Rev. 13.18 that bringeth forth nothing but wilde grapes [Page 3]as Pride and Drunkennesse, Covetousnesse and Anger, Wrath and Maliciousnesse, and Envie, and Oppressi­on, grinding the faces of the poore, and Pleasure, and Wantonnesse, and foolish Jeasting, and filthy Communication, for every Idle word, Rev. 13. [...] 16, 17, 1 [...] that men shall speake, they must give an account, now that the Lord is coming to Judgement; feare the Lord God Almighty, and give glory to his name, for the houre of his Judge­ments is comming, and give over worshipping the Beast, for all the world wonders and worships the Beast, but those who have found heir names written in the Lambs booke of Life;2 Thes. 1.7, 8, 9, 10 and they that worship the Beast and his Image, must drinke of the wine of the wrath of the Almighty poured forth into the cup of his Indignation, wrath without mixture, and must bee tormented with fire and Brimstone, in the presence of his holy Angels, and in the presence of the Lambe; and the smoake of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night that worships the Beast and his Image;Isa. 28. and whosoever re­ceiveth the marke of the Beast, Rev. 14.9, 10, 11. feare the Lord God Almighty, and give glory to his name, and depart from Iniquity, lest the Judgements of the Lord fall downe from Heaven upon you; for the wrath of God is to be revealed from Heaven, in flames of fire, upon all the children of disobedience. Houle and weepe for the misery that is coming,Isa. 34.1 2, 3, 4, 5. except ye repent and turne to the Lord with speed; haste haste to meete the Lord, by true repentance. Houle ye Drunkards of what sort soever, the curse of God is upon you; woe to all proud and lustfull ones, that lust after envy, devourers and murderers of the righteous ones in your hearts; The day of vengeance is coming upon you, all that delight in unrighteousnesse: Vengeance is mine, and I will repay saith the Lord; and he that envies is a Murderer, as saith the Scripture, and no murderer hath eternall life abiding in him, 1 Job. 3.15. [Page 2] [...] [Page 3] [...] [Page]Woe to all Hypocrites and dissemblers, that saith one thing and doe another: a double minded man is un­stable in all his wayes, and the wrath of God abideth on the children of disobedience. Woe to all Backbi­ters, [...]ct. 13.41. Cozeners and Cheaters, woe to all Scoffers, and Scorners, and Deriders, that speake evill of that they know not. Woe to all Lustfull and Revengefull ones, that delight in mischiefe, living in Iniquity, and so departs from the living God and follow vaine de­lights: Let no man deceive you with vaine words, for because of these things, the wrath of God commeth upon the children of disobedience, Eph. 5.1 to [...]he 7. Woe to ro [...]m that adde sin unto sin, and that draw Iniquity, as with cords of Vanity, that adde D [...]unkennesse to Thirst, and Pride to Covetousnesse, and Envy to Wrath, and Backbiting to Maliciousnesse, and Cozening to Cheating, and Scoffing to Scornefulnesse, and Plea­sure to Wantonnesse, and so nourish their hearts as in a day of slaughter, Jam. 5.5. and kill and slaye the holy one and the Just. Woe to them that call evill good, that put light for darknesse, and darknesse for light, and so draw Iniquity as with Cart-ropes, and adde sinne to sinne, Gaming to Sporting, and Swearing to Lying, and Hypocrisie to Dissimulation, and so lust after Revenge to Persecution, which are fruits of the Devill: they that are after the Flesh, they persecure them that are after the Spirit; and the fruits of the flesh are manifest, which are these, A [...]ul [...]ery, Fornication, Uncleanenessé, Lasciviousnesse, Witch­craft, Hatred, Variance, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkennesse, and such like; as Pride and Oppression, and grinding the faces of the Poore, and Lying and Swearing, and Pleasures and wantonnesse, and Scoffing and scornfulnesse and Cozening and Chearing, and doublemindednesse, which is Hypocrisie, but they which doe such things, shall not inherit the kingdome of Heaven, Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. [Page 5]God is pure, and of purer eyes, then to behold Iniqui­ty; be not deceived, God will not be mocked, for such as ye sow, such shall ye reape,Rom. 8.8. they that sow to the flesh, shall of the flesh reape Corruption, and they that are in the flesh cannot please God:Isa. 2.10, 11, 12. cumber not the ground ye fruitlesse trees, that bring forth no fruit, but that which is corrupt; thou proud and lofty one, thou are a fruitlesse tree, and must be cut downe,Mat. 3.10. Isa. 2.17. All the haughtinesse of man must be brought downe, and all the loftinesse of man laid low, that the Lord alone may be exalted, and the day of the Lord is coming upon all flesh houle and weepe, you that live in envy and wrath, which are fruitlesse trees, Cumberers of the ground, and must be cut downe and cast into the fire of the Indignation of the Lord God Almighty.Mat. 7.19, 20. Cum­ber not the ground ye Drunkards, ye are all fruitlesse trees, and must be cut down by the power of the Lord, and cast into the fire;Rev. 18. cumber not the ground ye Scoffers, and Scorners, and Deriders, your deeds make you manifest: you are cumberers of the ground, ye Cozeners and Cheaters, Backbiters and malitious ones, and Persecuters,Rev. 1.14, 15. you are fruitlesse trees that Jude speakes of, that defile the flesh in living in lust and excesse to that which is evill, no fruit is brought forth by you, but wilde grapes; Envy, Wrath, Malice,Rev. 20.10. Scoffing, and Scorning, and foolish Jeasting, and Drunkennesse and Persecution, which are fruits of unrighteousnesse; but know you not, Rev. 20.14, 15. that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdome. See 1 Cor. 6.9, 10, 11. and Eph. 5.3, 4, 5. and Rom. 29.30, 31, 32. and Rom. 2.8, 9. and Rev. 21.8. Rev. 22.15. Read these Scriptures & see if you can own your selves to be in the condition that they are spoken to: All that follow the Imaginati­ons of your owne hearts, the Leaders of the people cause them to erre, Isa. 9.16. And, the blinde lead the blind, and both shall fall into the ditch together, Mat. 15.14. Like Priest, like People, and drunk in Iniquity,Hosea 4. and live [Page 6]in Envy and Wrath, persecuting the Righteous as the Jews and Scribes and Pharisees did, and holds up the same things that they did as in Mat. 23. But woe was their portion then, and it is the portion of all the world that walkes on in their steps now. Repent and turne to the Lord with speede, for the great and mighty day draweth neere, which is foretold of by the Prophe [...] Zephaniah: Reade Zeph. 1.14.18. read them over an [...] weigh them well, and returne to the Lord with all you [...] hearts, that he may have mercy upon you. Now yo [...] have time prize it, and feare the Lord God Almighty and worship not the Beast, for the houre of his Judgement is coming. Rev 14.6, 7. Woe to all that act in unrigh­teousnesse of what sort soever: The Princes are Rebel­lious and companions of Theeves, every one loveth gifts, an [...] followeth after rewards, Isa. 1.23, 24. they judge not the Fatherlesse neither doth the cause of the Widdow come unto them. There­fore saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the mighty one to Israel: Ver. 22.

How is the beautifull City become an har­lot, it was full of Judgement, Righteousnesse lodged in i [...] but now Murderers: But Zion shall be redeemed wi [...] Judgements, and her Converts with Righteousnesse, a [...] the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners sh [...] be together: and they that forsake the Lord shall be con­sumed, Isa. 1.27, 28. And the Lord will purchase [...] him a peculiar people, that they may worship him i [...] spirit and in truth, and he will returne to them a pu [...] Language, that they may call upon the name of th [...] Lord with one consent, and the remnant of Israel sh [...] not doe Iniquity, nor speake Lyes, neither shall a d [...] ­ceitfull tongue be found in their mouth; for they sha [...] feed and lye downe and none shall make them afrai [...] Zeph. 2.9. to the 15. & the Lord alone will be the delig [...] of his people; and thus saith the Lord, I will turne [...] hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy drosse, and ta [...] [Page 7] [...]way all thy tinne, and I will Restore thy Judges as at the fi [...]st, and thy Counsellers as at the beginning; afterwards thou shalt be called the City of righteousnesse, the faithfull City, Isa. 1.25, 26. And then every m [...]n shall sit under [...]is own Vine and under his Fig tree, & no [...]e shal make [...]hem afraid: Rejoyce ye Saints and righ [...]ous ones, [...]he time of Israels deliverance draweth nigh; woe to [...]he world, and to all that live and act in unrighteous­nesse, the great day of the Lord draweth nigh, it hast­ [...]th greatly. Repent and turne to the Lord, Seeke [...]ighteousnesse, seeke peace if so be ye may be hid in the day [...]f the Lords wrath, Zeph. 2.3. A fire is kindled, and who shall quench it? Mal. 4.1.

THat they may mind the light within, which will ga­ther them out of all the worlds ways, and worships, and customes, and fashions, up into love and pu [...]ity, to have Communion and fellowship with the spirit of love in yeilding obedience to it, written by one that hath beene in Egypt, and is got up into the Land of the living mercies of the Lord; where there is fulnesse of joy and pleasu es for evermore: and he is sending into Egypt, to those that are in Bondage, and darknesse, to visit them there, sending them a staffe to walke by, that they may come and meet with him at New Ieru­salem, to worship the Father in spirit and in truth, and sing Halleluj [...]hs to the highest, the Lord God omnipo [...]ent, who is King of Saints, King of Salem, King of Peace, ruling and raigning in power, in the hearts of his people, fulfilling his promises made of [Page]old; to whom be glory and honour for ever more.

Now this is to you who are yet in Egypt, where th [...] house of bondage is, and darknesse over-spreading a [...] the earth, such darknesse as may be felt; still wait upon the Lord, and stay a while, but see that you doe no [...] your watch neglect, lest that you doe the Lords fre [...] love reject; but wait within continually, having you mindes kept free, that when the Angell of the Lord i [...] comming to set you free from under the hands o [...] Pharaoh, that proud hard-hearted one; you may be willing for to follow him, to see the Lords owne power made manifest, and operating still within, to slay the first borne in the Land; and proud Pharaoh unto a stand, by reason of the Lords owne powerfull hand which is so strong in might, his enemies all to over­throw, and quite destroy both Pharaoh and his Hoste, in the very heat of persecution, that he may glorifie his name, and put the Heathen all to shame; he is the mighty Counsellor that doth so make his power known, in confounding the wise ones of the world, and all the earthly wisedome, first within, and makes it swimme in the sea of confusion; where it is by his Counsell overthrowne, and so the pure seede (the Israelites) they are preserved by his might. And thus the Lord alone doth give them power and victory, even in the enemies sight: and so he gets his name a great re­nowne, and still he leades his people on a way which is not to them knowne, that they may trust in him, and minde the leadings of his love, in all their progress as they goe, both in the wildernesse where he doth try them all; and there they either stand or fall, because the tempter doth himselfe so much bestirre to draw them there for to despaire, not minding still to stand there alwaies in the Lords owne will, which would their owne wills crosse; and so the enemy will come continually unto a losse: looke up to the light that is [Page]held forth by the Angell there, the Messenger of the Covenant of grace, which is sent by the Lord alone to lead his seed from place to place, following this Angell continually, yet will the enemies subtilties to you e­vermo [...]e discry, that so abiding in the light, it will the way unto you shew that leadeth through the crosse, taking the shield of faith along: it drives downe the bulwarkes, strong holds, and fenced Cities all along, and through the inhabited Countryes to turne to flight the Armies of the Aliens all, following the Angel of the Lord within, which will lead up the promised seed unto the King that sits upon the Throne of grace, where all the ransomed ones doe meet there with the Lord, in his owne holy place, at New Hierusalem, to sing forth praises unto him, who is Israels Keeper and their King, who leades his people home to him, that they may meet at Sion, there to sing the songs of their deliverance, even in the presence of their King, rejoicing in his love for evermore, Amen. Hallelujah to the highest.

All people every where, cease from all your Priests, they deceive you, they are blinde guides,Ezek. 2. to the and are igno­rant of the true guide which is the spirit of truth, that guideth and leadeth into all truth: cease from them all, they are found in the same state and condition that the false Prophets were in among the children of Israel, after they were backslided, and had broken the Covenant of the Lord, and the Lord was displea­sed with them,Hos. 4.5 and sent his true Prophets to cry out a­gainst them, as the Scriptures make mention. See Isa. 56.10, 11, 12. verses, and Ier. 5.30, 31. and Ezek. 34. and Hos. 6.9. and Mica 3.5, 6, 7. and v. 11. Read those Scriptures,Jer. 5.8 and see if your Priests be not now in the same condition that these false Prophets were in, which ran as they did, but the Lord never sent them; there­fore cease from them, Ier. 23.16, 17, 18, 19, 20. verses, but the woe was to them then, and the woe is to [Page 12]all that follow their steps now,Mal. 2. Ier. 23, 1, 2. Ezek. 34.2. Zach. 11.17. Therefore hold them not up least the Judgements of God come upon both them,Iob. 4.8. and all that hold them up, for there is like Priest, like Peo­ple, Hosea [...].9. and the leaders of them cause them to erre, Isa. 9.16. and the blinde leads the blinde, and both shall fall together, Mat 15.14. A foolish people that have eyes and see not,Mat. 7.19, [...]0. eares and heare not, hearts and do not understand. What will you doe in the end (saith the Lord?) Ier. 5.31. Shall not my soule be avenged of such a People as this? Mat. 3.10. ver. 9. hold them not up for the Lord is against them, Ier. 23.30, 31, 32. Cease from them, the Lord will make them contempti­ble in the eyes of his people, the curse of God is upon them and their Doctrine, [...]al. 5.19, [...]0, 21. so that there is nothing brought forth by them, but B [...]yers and Thorns as Pride and Covetousnesse, Envy and Wrath, Malice and Scoffing, Scornfulnesse and Revenge, and oppression, and g [...]inding the faces of the poore, and persceution, which are the fruits of the Devill; and know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdome of Heaven, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. Eph 5.3, 4, 5 Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. Rev 21.8. Rev. 22.15. Be not deceived, [...]a. 1.16, 17. God will not be mocked, he is of purer eyes then to beh [...]ld iniquity; cease to doe evill, learne to doe well; but downe with all your Priests, blinde Guides, whited Walls, and painted Sepulchres; the Lord is utterly against them, they are found unprofitable servants, their Kingdome must be taken from them and given to a People [...]hat will bring forth the fruits thereof. Thus saith the Lord, concerning the Priests, and false Prophets, which have beene foretold of these things, I will (saith the Lord) even send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings, and I will corrupt your seede, and spread dung upon your faces, and make you contemptible in the eyes of the People, Mal. 2.1. to the 10 verse, And they shall wears no more a rough garment to deceive the [Page]people withall, Zach. 13.4, 5. For the Lord will de­st [...]oy the Chemarims (the Black Coats) with the Priests, as in Zeph. 1.4 But read all the Chapter,Mal. 2.1 the 10. and all these other Scriptures, and weigh them well, they are now to be fulfilled; take warning betime, and cease from all your Hirelings, and Idoll-Shepheards, they are all deceivers, hold them not up, cease from them all, every one; for he that is highest in notion, is the highest deceiver, and as your eyes are enlightened you will see it, though now you doe not; but it is be­cause your light is darknesse that you see by, and if that light which is in you be darknesse, how great is that darknesse? If you would know the truth, as it is in Jesus, Cease from man whose breath is in his nostrills, for wherein is he accounted of? Isa. 2.22. Cease from all great and small, wait wholly upon the Lord for teaching, who hath promised to teach all his himselfe, as in Ier. 31.31. to 34. All the children of the Lord, they shall neede no man to teach them. Now the Lord is fulfilling and making good these promises to his people, and he teacheth them to profit; likewise Isaiah he prophecied and foretold of this, in the 54. chap. and the 13. ver. where hee hath said, All the Children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord, and in righteousnesse shall they be established, and they shall be far from oppression; and the Lord hath foretold of this, by his servant the Prophet in Ezek. 34 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The Lord alone is the teacher of all his himselfe, and it is said in Iohn, that they shall all be taught of the Lord, Iohn 6.45. and in Heb. 8.11. There it is said, they shall not neede to teach one another, saith the Lord, they shall all know me, whom to know is life eternall; To know God, is to keep his Commands, as in the first Epistle of Iohn 2.3. He that saith he knoweth God and keepes not his commandements, is a lyar, ver. 4. But some will say, that none can keepe the Commandements of the Lord; there is none sayes [Page 14]so but the slothfull servant, that hideth his talent in the earth; and he counts God a hard Master, because his heart is in the earth, and his love is to the world, which is enmity with God. The Saints which were taught of the Lord, their soules were purified in yielding obe­dience to the commands of the spirit, 1 Pet. 1.22. they said it was their joy to keepe the commands of the Lord: [...]ohn 3. By this we know that we love the Children of God, when we love God and keepe his Commandements, for this is the love of God that we keepe his Commandements, and his Commandements are not grievous to him that is borne a­gaine; and none else keepeth them, 1 Iohn 5.2, 3, 4. 1 Iohn 3.7, 8, 9, 10. and he that keepeth his Comman­dements dwelleth in him, and hereby wee know that hee dwelleth in us, by the spirit that be hath given us, 1 Iohn 3.24. 1 Iohn 2.5▪ Luke 1.6. Rev. 14.1. to the 6▪ This was the condition of those which were redeemed to the Lord; Hereby receive we the love of God, because he hath laid downe his life for us, and we ought to lay downe our lives for the Brethren, 1 Iohn 3.16, 17. he that loveth not, [...]oh. 4.7. knowes not God, for God is love, 1 Iohn 4.7. In this was made manifest the love of God, because he sent his onely begotten Sonne into the World, that we might live through him, 1 Iohn 4.9. Now the world is set in mans heart, [...]. 1.4, 5▪ so that he cannot finde out the beginning nor the end of the worke of God, Eccles. 3.11. and (saith Iesus Christ) I am the light of the world, that enlight­neth every one that commeth into the world: he that loves this light, brings his deedes to the light, that the light may prove them: he that hateth the light, hateth to be reproved, because his deedes are evill: and there is his condemnation, Iohn 3.19, 20, 21. This light is within that shewes sinne and evill: he that loves this light, will hate the evill discovered by it, to cast it off and forsake it. Minde your Teacher within, you have a light, whereunto you doe well to take heede, as unto a light that shineth in a darke place, untill the da [...] [Page 15]dawne, and the day-starre arise in your bearts, 2 Pet. 1.19. Minde that light within, and see what that doth disco­ver to you, and be obedient to it, and there is your Teacher present with you, that light obeying it; there is your condemnation, that light diso beying it: Exa­mine your selves, prove your selves, Rom. 14 17. know you not your owne selves how that Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Repro­bates? 2 Cor. 13.5. Learne to know Christ within, and believe them not, that would draw your mindes to seeke for him without; for many shall say, loe here is Christ, and loe there is Christ, but believe them not, Mat. 24.25, 26, 27. for (saith Jesus Christ) the Kingdome of Heaven commeth not with observations, as, Loe here, and loe there, but the Kingdome of Heaven is within you, Mat. 7.1 [...] Luke 17.21. The Kingdome of Heaven consists not in meat, or drinke, but in righteousnesse, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; but the King­dome of the World stands altogether in unrighteous­nesse, envy, hatred, and persecution, debate, and strife, vaine pleasures, oppression, and grinding the faces of the poore, and joyes, and rejoices in iniquity,Mat. 23. which the woe is to: likewise the Kingdome of Heaven standeth not in word but in power; but the Kingdome of the World standeth altogether in word, without ei­ther life or power: they say and doe not, but in the truth of God its not the sayer, but the doer, that shall be justified before him, Mat. 17.21. Be not profes­sors, but possessors; for all profession is of the cursed Fig-tree, that bringeth forth nothing but leaves; for there is nothing brought forth by the highest profes­sors but leaves, faire shewes, and sine words, phrases which the curse of God is unto; woe to you Scribes, and faire Sayers, Hypocrites, that appeare to be in words, that which you deny in actions; in words pro­fesse love to God, but in actions deny him, Tit. 1.16. All poore simple hearts that have not such eloquent words (as some have) be faithfull, as unto the Lord, [Page 16]in what you know, as the light within doth discover it unto you, that's the true light, that which checks you, when you either lye, or sweare, or use any deceit; it checks you when you doe amisse, hearkening to that it will turne your minde within, and cause a watch to be set over all your thoughts, words, and acti­ons, and bring you to stand in the fear of the Lord con­tinually, to cast off and forsake that which is disco­vered to you to be evill, by that light within you; and so you will be brought to faithfulnesse in all things, both to God and Man, that your Yea may be Yea, and your Nay may be Nay, therein purity will grow, and patience will be exercised; your wills being kept in the Crosse, to wait on the Lord in patience, till an entrance be made to your soules, and vertue and refreshment come from the presence of the Lord, and there is your Teacher alwayes present, and the Lord hath said that he will teach the simple, and cause them that erred in spirit to understand Doctrine; therefore waite whol­ly on him within, that you may know the power of his truth within, working out all unrighteousnesse, and the power of his resurrection, ruling by his spirit in the Kingdome of grace and glory, shining forth in brightnesse to the praise of him who is the holy Lord God omnipotent, who doth shed abroad his eternall love in the spirits of his people, drawing out their mindes from all earthly carnall and visible objects, to live holy within in that which is eternall, and invi­sible, who draweth his people as with the cords of his love, to taste how gracious he is, calling us out o [...] darknesse into his marvellous light, quickning us by his spirit, the divine power of righteousnesse drawing up our affections into the eternall invisible inflowing of his free love, which is the joy and delight of the be­loved ones of the Lord: to him alone be a­ [...]praise, and honour, and glory, for overmore Amen.

[Page 17] All people every where that have a desire to know the truth, know that it is the word of life, that sanctifies and purifies soule and Spirit, and is the power of God to salvation, that do [...]h set free from sin and wrath, and redeemeth from under the curse, for all have sinned and falne from the Lord, and are feeding upon dust, which is the Serpents meat, and whose mindes are yet in the E [...]r [...]h; delighting in visible objects, are not acquainted with the Lord Jesus Christ; who is the delight of his people, and leadeth them out of all the wayes and workes of darkness, and redeemeth them to himselfe, out of all things that are earthly and carnall, to have their affections and hearts upon that which is invisible and eternall, that they may partake of all his soule-satisfying comforts, and raigne with him in the Kingdom of his Father, being brought by him, into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God.

To live with him in the full fountaine of his Eter­nall Love, he being the everlasting Prince of peace, and sits upon his Throne of Glory in his Saints; That they may have free accesse to the Throne of Grace, where the Lords delight is, to whom be all honour, and glory for evermore, Amen. All you whose minds are yet in the Earth; cease from all your Priests, they do deceive you, they are blinde guides and doe not profit you at all, because they were never sent of the Lord, Ier. 23.16. Thus saith the Lord, they ran but I did not send them, therefore they shall not profit this people at all 23. v. Cease from them all every one, and waite upon the Lord for teaching, who hath promised to teach all his him­selfe, as in Isa. 54 13. All the Children of the Lord are taught of the Lord, in righteousness they are established, and they are far from oppression, and they shall not need any man to teach them, Ier. 31.34. The Lord alone is the Teacher of all his himselfe; and he teacheth them to de­ny all ungodlinesse, and worldly Lusts, and he teacheth them to be tender, and to be loving one to another [Page 18]and to walke as obedient Children, before him, in all holy conversaiion, not fashioning themselves like unto the World, but he teacheth his Children to deny it; And faith, be not you conformed like unto the World, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may know, what is that good, that ac­ceptable, and perfect will of God, who is pure, and will have his people so, a holy people, to bring forth fruit to his own praise, saith he, be ye holy as I am holy; for holinesse becometh mine house for ever, and let your love be without dissimulation, love not in word but in deed and truth; Love one another even with the same love, that I loved you withall, and be what you speake in all things; Let your yea be yea, and your nay nay in all things, saith the Lord, its the up­right in heart that I delight in, and I love truth in the inward parts; and I would have you all my deare Children, to walke worthy of your Calling, that you may be a chosen Generation, a royall Priesthood, a peculiar people, to shew forth my praise, who hath called you out of darknes into my marvelous light, walk as Children of the day, and bring forth fruit to my praise and glory. Fruits of the Spirit, Love and Peace, and Joy, Gentlenesse, Goodnesse and Meeknesse, Temperance, Patience, Brotherly-kindnesse, Long­suffering, forbearing and forgiving one another, and live in love and purity, building up one another in live, for this is well pleasing unto me, saith the Lord God Almighty, I would not have you to be as the World is, because they are Ignorant, and walke on in blindnesse; being Children of the night, and they are carnall, and sottish, and know me not. There­fore they know not you, my faithfulness, whom I have made choyce of; and redeemed you to my selfe, by the blood of the Lambe, that you may sit at my Table, and be planted in my House to shine forth in purity, having Union and Communion with mee, [Page 19]being of the seed of Abraham, borne againe and par­ [...]akers of the word of Life, which liveth and abideth for ever, that you may rejoyce in my love, and raigne with me in my Kingdome of glory; I have made my Name knowne unto you, through my Eternall Power and Free-love, that it may be as a pretious Ointment, powring forth continually, to cheare up [...]our hearts, my presence being with you, having the word of lif in you, to feed upon, which is daily Bread, Bread of life, which the World knowes not of; There­fore doe they speake evill of you my deare ones, who are as deare to me, as the Apple of mine Eye; I have loved you with an everlasting love, freely for [...]y Name-sake, abide in it, and walke worthy of this high Calling, that I may be glorified by you, who [...]ath done such great things for you, as to make you [...]ne with my selfe, I in you, and you in mee, that your whole delight may be in me, who giveth you [...]he desire of your hearts: rejoyce you Saints and Righteous ones, the Lord is King, King of love, [...]hat rules above in glory, taking our affections into [...]he Eternall excellencies, being taken up into that [...]eavenly Paradise, and eates of the spices there, where the King of Peace is their Keeper of that sweet Garden of Spices where there is all varieties, joy in [...]ove, and love in joy; Peace in rest and rest in peace, and mercy is the Seat, where the King of Salem doth abide, and brings his love thats made his Bride, be­trothed and espoused to him, in his own righteousness to be his darling and delight, to feed upon the Spices of his love; where there is a Banquetting house pre­pared, in the heat time of the Day, to go and drink deep draughts of his new Wine, to take full Cups of Comfort there, which doth the heart continually chear, and keeps it free from slavish feare, the King [...]s Keeper of his Vines and hedgeth them about, and causeth them to grow, and flourish in brightness [Page 20]round about, and takes the Foxes that would them spoyle, and giveth all his enemes the foyle, ta [...]ing th [...] wise in their own craftiness, and hangs them in their own snares, and thats the reason why the wicked rage and fumes and sayes, truly the Lord is good an [...] gracious indeed, and is a a present helpe in the greate [...] time of neede; he doth preserve and keepe all thos [...] that trust in him; even in the Treasury of his own [...] Defence, that he alone may bring them all, from thenc [...] up to Mount Sion, where his Vin [...]yard is, that the [...] may all rejoyce together, the ove [...]flowing scorge bein [...] past; that they in him may have their joy, their peac [...] and eke their rest; to sing forth Halelujah, unt [...] him, who is their keeper and their King, Rejoyce fo [...] evermore.
