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

of God through the Spirit this house is erected by the finger and power of Jehovah Tzebaot the Lord of Hoast The inward pure Government and shining glory and requirings in the house or habitation of God in the Spirit AND farther Friends this house of God has good government for its the Lord Jesus that rules and governs in this house and no other has right to govern but himself for it s his own and hath bought it and purchased it not with corruptible things as silver and gold but with incorruptible even with his own precious blood Friends when Christ is born in the soul of any whether Jew or Gentile bond or free the government is put upon his shoulder and to that end is this Son given and the Child born viz. that the government may be upon his shoulder that he might rule and govern and raign in the soul in his own house and he will raign in righreousnesse and governs with pure Laws of light and freedom not with Laws of darknesse and bondage The pure and everlasting God layes not hard service upon his children and servants he imposes no heavy task upon his family but what is in the pure freedom of the Spirit his requirings are according to the growth of his children and servants were it not there would be disorder instead of order but no no my Friends there is nothing but pure order in the house of God The ever-blessed God rules governs and orders all in pure love pure light pure fear taught by himself and not by the precepts of men pure righteousnesse pure truth and all inward Now to see a Saint walk and acting without from these pure Laws of God within oh what a great shine and glory does it cast upon all it does oh then if so great a shine without how great is that glory within it being all glorious it being that more excellent glory it being the brightnesse of the Fathers glory Oh Friends my soul admires this glory Friends sink down from all your selfnesse and somethingnesse and come into this most excellent glory and lie with my soul still from self-acting before this glorious God that this glory may passe besore us i. e. that it might more and more manifest its self unto us that we may come to be transformed from glory to glory by the pure Spirit of the living God Now Friends to see an house in such an order under such a government is to see it in a comely order to see it all fait and to have no spot in it Of the heavenly bread and waters of life that is provided eat and drank of in the family and house of God in the Spirit of the living God THere is not only Rule in this house but there is plentiful spiritual provision made for the whole family of God and duly administred by the hand of living power and vertue whereby it gives living spiritual nourishment for growth to encrease with the encrease of God the eternal pure God gives it the bread of life and the waters of life to eat of and to drink of and the soul being in a living state eats and drinks thereof and is refreshed and cryes out evermore Father give me of this bread of life and these waters of life Oh my soul though the e●ternal grace of God have an internal or inward caste hereof and it cryes and breaths in the pure fear and Spirit of God after more and I find it s not that I might eat and drink hereof alone but that all might come in the fear of the living God to eat and drink hereof also with my soul that we might rejoyce together in the Spirit and that we might sing a Hymn and spiritual Song singing and making melody in out hearts to the living and pure fountain of life giving pure and spiritual thanks alwayes to God in the name i. e. power and Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ Oh Friends every soul that is surely fixed on this foundation of God which alwayes stands sure have a measure of this heavenly food viz. of this bread of life and waters of life dealt forth unto him according to his growth and appetite that his soul hath Now we ought and it s our duty to be thankful with or for such a measure that we have and to eat and drink to the glory of God Friends if it hold true in the outward much more for the inward But Friends inlarge your appetite open your mouth wide and the Lord will fill it Labour for a greater hunger and thirst after this true bread and water of life and you shall be filled satisfied and refreshed Oh Friends thirst not hunger not so much after the outward observance which is a spending your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfies not and your strength and time for that which perishes But labour to feed more of this true bread that cometh down from God out of heaven the which whosoever eats of is blessed and to drink of those waters that runs by the Throne of God whose streams make glad the heart of the City the habitation the house of God here Friends does my soul come to experience what is meant by eating of the fruit of the Tree of life that John declared of Rev. 11.7 And here I come to understand know feel and to eat of the hidden Manna that is spoke of in Rev. 11.17 its Manna that is hid from the wise and prudent of this world but revealed to them that fear and love the pure God in Spirit and truth and such eats thereof to their souls nourishing and refreshing Here my soul comes truly to eat of the flesh and to drink of the blood of the Lord Jesus and so comes to have life in it for this is meat or nourishment indeed and this is drink or refreshment indeed I may eat long enough of the elementary things before my soul is nourished and refreshed in the eternal life but if my soul eats and drinks of this spiritual food then my soul comes to have life and refreshment as my soul knows right well through the Spirit Now in eating and drinking of the true bread and water of life we come to have communion with the body and with the blood of Christ for this communion is in the Spirit and not in the letter whose praise is of God and not of men for men are carnal and this is spiritual But this I know will seem strange to a formal person but let it its true and faithful yea and our communion as Saints is in the Spirit in eating this spiritual bread and wine of the Kingdom of God and not in the outward visible elementary things in the pure Spirit is our pure communion and our living communion in and by the living Spirit Here I come to know what it is to eat of the Supper of the Lord amd to drink of the new Wine in the Fathers Kingdom
