UNTO ALL GODS HOST IN ENGLAND.
THis is a Heavenly Visitation, sent from the Union of the holy Spirit, & holy Covenant of perpetual Peace, of Love and Consolation, unto all who are of the holy Faith, and are partakers of the Promise which God made with Abraham, the same Faith and holy Covenant which God made with him and his Seed after him, whose Seed are made partakers of the same Promise of Life and blessed Inheritance, into the Covenant of free Love, of Life, Peace and Salvation, all must be gathered; for in the Covenant is the fellowship with the Father, and in it, is the holy Faith known, which worketh all into love, which is the likeness of God; and this is the very Nature of God, whose Nature is love. Therefore all to the Foundation which is elect and precious, which was before the World was, or before the Mountains were brought forth; into that which was in the beginning, all must be gathered, into the inseparable love of the fulness of the Father, into the life of innocency which God at first formed, which was glorious; into the same Heavenly Life which must reign over all, in which no discord ever standeth, neither any strifemaker did ever dwell. Therefore unto God's Covenant of peace [Page 2]and blessedness all must come, to have union and fellowship with God, who is love; therefore all to the Foundation which God hath laid in you, which is his free-Love by which you were at first gathered: And this is upon me from the Lord God, to declare to all Israel, So in the Peace of God possess your souls, in the Rest in which the blessing of God is felt and daily encreased. And here life flourisheth like the green Willows by the Water-courses; but verily, verily, every plant which the Gardener hath not planted, must be plucked up, and consumed by the beams of consuming brightness, which is now breaking forth; for the glory of the Day is come; therefore arise you Seed and Children of Abraham, shine forth in the glory of the Lord God, for the reign of the Lamb is come, Christ the Foundation, the chosen and elect Corner-stone; all feel your Anchor on him; for verily every one that buildeth, and not on him, God is coming to throw down; and no other Foundation have I to declare, but that which God hath laid in you, which is his Love; and into Love you must all be gathered, and into the union of the holy Spirit, who is the perfection of love. The time is at hand wherein the good Gardener wil throughly weed his Garden, and every seed which he hath not sown, he will root up. Therefore all to the search, and throughly try what seed there is yet remaining in you, whether there is nothing but the seed of the Kingdom of God which remaineth. For who shall abide the day of the coming of the great God, who is flames of consuming sire; and what shall stand before him that is not of him? Verily the Lord God hath sent me to declare and publish, and sound forth his Mess [...]ge unto all Israel, even to declare the day of free Love, and of everlasting consolation. Oh how blessed a thing it is for Brethren to dwell together in the unity of the holy Spirit, in the Covenant of Love and Peace, in the union of the Saints in Light: Such feel the Life and Power, and Resurrection of Jesus, in whom is the healing virtue found, whose life is risen in immortal glory, whose presence filleth heaven & earth, Unutterable and glorious will be the day of the Lord God unto the upright-hearted, who are found in the Faith of the holy Covenant.
So my dear Friends and Brethren, in the life of holiness I am one with you, who am the weakest of the [...], but yet I desire [Page]the prosperity of all the called of God. So in the blessed love of God all dwel; And Friends, in the Bowels of the Lord Jesus let your yearnings be one towards another in the unchangeable Love and Life of the Lord God; and above all things, be careful of grieving the Life in one another, and watch over one another with a single eye in the simplicity and truth, keep your minds staid, and fix your eye alwayes on the Lord God; and that eye that is fixed on him, who looketh not for the evil, but rather to recover out of the evil, and to regain into that which is good; so none wil be overcome with the evil, but all wil overcome the evil with that which is good; therefore all down into the low, Lamb-like, healing Spirit, whose virtue and love overcometh the hearts of all that truly wait in the simple life, which leadeth through the tribulation, and so to the washing; and so all who are led by it, wil be cleansed, purged and purified from all dross. And blessed, blessed are all who dwel in the faith which works by love; such wil be overcome, and fill'd with the Fountain of Eternal Peace, of Love and Consolation. And Brethren and beloved, the Lord God of everlasting glory, who is risen in his beauty, who filleth both heaven and earth with the Majesty of his brightness; he will more gloriously appear in his holy Mount, transfiguring himself in the midst of all the Disciples, who wait for the coming and appearance of the Lord Jesus, whose coming is with great power, and great glory. Therefore arise you branches of the true Vine, spread forth you fruitful boughs, for the Lord God of the Vintage is come to gather the ripe fruit; therefore sing ye desert places, and rejoice ye that dwel in the low Valleys, for Gods holy Mountain drops of sweet Wine; so the Lord God is become a place of broad Rivers, a Fountain full of Streams; and blessed are all who drink at the still Waters, such are refreshed, who grow to the praise of God.
So dear friends, in the heavenly places all wil come to lie dovvn in the Kingdom vvith the Seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So in the patience and long-suffering of God dvvel, for the [...] of Gods Elect must be throughly tried, as purified Gold out of the Furnace, and as Silver that hath been seven times purified, in which burning flames (for God's Consummation) must burn up and consume all that which cannot stand before him when he appeareth. [Page 4]Therefore all feel the Refiner sitting as a Refiners fire in you, that you may know the Word that burneth through all the thickness and the darkness, that by it all may be expelled. So here is the power that expelleth, which is the Gospel, the power of God unto everlasting salvation; so that you may all feel the mighty power of God working Redemption in you, so that you may all sing the songs of the Redeemed of the Lord, which none can learn but they who follow the Lamb and his leading; so the hour and day of Redemption is come unto the house of Israel, therefore all lift up up your heads, and look over the Mountains, for God will make the Hills to flye, and trembling must come upon all transgressors; but blessed are are you that believe, you shall see the mighty salvation of the God of Israel, whose hope is in him, and whose dependance is upon him; they shall not miss of their expectation, but the reward of the righteous shall be sure, and a Crown of Life is laid up for all the faithful. Therefore rejoice you little Flock, for you is the Kingdom prepared. And therefore in the Dominion of God, which reigns over death, stand in the Heavenly Life, so will your peace encrease, and the virtue of God you wil daily feel, the showers of his living mercies distilling upon you. So the blessing of Eternal peace from the Lord God surround you all, for ever.
And his Grace be with you all now and for ever.
