Lord so much the more as you see the day is approached and the Harvest is great and the Vineyard of the Lord is great and large and but few labourers yea the Lord is enlarging his borders and spreading forth his everlasting truth and stretching forth his eternal arm over the Nations and opening the treasures of Heaven and bringing rain out of his Treasury to water the earth that hath been parched and dry and to make his plants to grow And so all wait that you may see the power and presence of the Lord in all your assemblies and see that there be no strife nor contention nor exaltation amongst you but all in meekness and quietness and long-suffering and forbearance even as the Lord hath spared and forborn you one submitting unto another even as you have heard and received when the word of the Lord came first unto you and he that will be the greatest shall be the least but all in meekness and lowliness of minde serve one another in love even as you have received and the everlasting God of life and power be with you all and make you grow in the living power and virtue of God to order all things in his wisdom as good Stewards of the manifold mercies of the Lord which you are made partakers of that he alone may be glorified throughout all the Churches of Christ Jesus every where And to you my dear brethren and fellow-labourers unto whom the word of Reconciliation is committed and are in the work and Ministry of our Lord Iesus Christ and are made partakers of the everlasting Gospel of peace which unto you is given to declare Lift up your voyces blow the Trumpet sound an alarum out of the holy mountain proclaim the acceptable yeer and the day of vengeance of our God Gird on your sword upon your loins put on the tryed Armour and follow him for ever who rides upon the white Horse and is clothed with the same who makes war in righteousness Ride on ride on my beloved brethren and fellow-souldiers make all plain before you thresh on with the new threshing instrument which hath teeth beat the mountains to dust and let the breath of the Lord scatter it make the heathen tremble and the uncircumcised fall by the sword the Lord of hosts is with us and goes before us Spare none neither Ox nor Asse neither old nor young kil cut off destroy bath your sword in the blood of Amaleck and all the Egyptians and Philistines and all the uncircumcised and hew Agag to pieces break the Rocks cut down the Cedars and strong Oaks make the Devills subject cast out the unclean spirits raise the dead shut up in prison bring out of prison cast in your nets lanch into the deep divide the fish gather the good into vessels cast the bad away binde the Tares in bundles cast them into the fire the Angel with his sharp sickle is come the Angel of the everlasting Covenant

diviners for ever trample upon all the chaff and dung and mire for ever which all the wisdom of the World feeds upon Greater is he that is in us then he that is in the World Oh my beloved ones although I am the lowest and weakest among many of my brethren yet the eternal power of God is my shield for ever the Lord of hosts is with us There is a Crown which none can take away to all who have denyed all yea it is on your heads the dread of God is with us and truly dear brethren we cannot say that we fished and catched nothing for many vessels are sull nor we have not travelled and laboured and brought forth winde as the false Prophets do for we have the seals of our Ministry which shall be witnesses for the Lord in generations to come Not unto us O Lord but to thy name be glory for ever who hath done and doth all for us and in us who is our strength our glory our Crown of rejoycing all the day long for his hidden treasure is brought forth and made manifest in earthen vessels unto him be eternal living praises for ever And so all dear brethren members of the same body of Christ Jesus by which we are set free from sin in the liberty life and power in which you are made free stand as witnesses for the Lamb and for the holy Nation for the royal Seed of the true Israel of God that it may be brought out of captivity to serve the Lord in the land of the living and the eternal God of power and life of endless rich love and mercy be with you all and prosper his own work in your hands that he alone may be glorified unto whom be eternal insinite praises who is our life our King God blessed for ever and ever And to you all my dear brethren and sisters who suffers in bonds and prisons and dens and holes and suffers the Enemy to plow long furrows upon your backs in patience and suffers stocking whipping buffetting beating and cruel mocking and stripes and chains and fetters whom the world is not worthy of even as they did unto our Master of whom we bear witness of and hath the witness in our selves even so do they unto us But the servant is not greater then his Lord and therefore we that are baptized for the dead and stand in jeopardy of our lives often we have a cloud of witnesses which endured the same and therefore the same baptism and the same cup must be drunk by all that follow him Well my dear brethren your sufferings I know and I know he of whom you bear witdess bears up your heads who hath called you thereunto above all that which is done unto you as you stand in his will and counsel well as dear brethren and companions in the same tribulation and kingdome and patience of the Saints as witnesses of the same faith as they were which are gone before you you are made partakers of the same it is made manifest and revealed in you by the same God in

hath made her self ready and the way of the Lord is pleasant to you and his commands are not grievous no unclean thing can passe over nor no Lyons whelps can tread therein but it is called the way of holinesse where only the ransomed of the Lord do walk even your mountain is established upon the top of all hills and all Nations shall flow unto it Sing praises for ever for the kingdome of endless peace is come which passeth understaning and of glory which no mortall eye can behold and of life which no flesh can live in Oh my beloved come up hither and I will shew you what God hath done for you he hath rebuked the Sea and driven back the floods of waters which compassed you about he hath scattered your enemies with a whirlwind and he hath given you to feed upon the flesh of Kings and of Captaines Can you call to mind the doings of your God and his marvellous works brought to passe and not cry out in praises for evermore O drink and be refreshed and eat and be satisfied for ever and let your soul delight it self in fatness the planting of the Lord you are and his own purchased possession he hath separated you from the womb and hath called you out of kindreds and ye are the Royall seed of the off-spring of the Lord Almighty and all Nations shall call you blessed And O thou North of England who art counted as desolate and barren and reckoned the least of the Nations yet out of thee did the branch spring and the Star arise which gives light unto all the Regions round about in thee the Son of Righteousness appeared with wounding and with healing and out of thee the terror of the Lord proceeded which makes the earth to tremble and be removed out of thee Kings Princes Prophets did come forth in the name and power of the most High which uttered their voyces as thunders and laid their swords on the neck of their enemies and never returned empty from the slaughter Though I be as by the waters of Babylon in a strange land and as a Pilgrim and Stranger destitute but not forsaken as dying but behold I live yet if I forget thee let my right hand forget her cunning and let my name be blotted out of the book of life O how I love the holy seed which in my eye is precious no man can hinder my boasting of thee for I am sealed among you in the Record of eternal life to bee read among you in the light where I am known to you and where my unity stands with you in the love and life which never changes and you are my mother and my brother and sister who doth the will of my Father Our God is a consuming fire and his habitation is compast about with dread and terror The Heathen shall see and fear and the inhabitants of the earth shall tremble our God is everlasting burnings and it is tempestuous round about his throne and he reignes for evermore and though thou be despised and set at nought and counted as the off-scouring of all things and the scorn of the Heathen yet thy King reigns upon Mount Sion and if he utter his voice all flesh shall tremble and before him thy adversaries shall fall and thy persecutors shall be confounded for thou shalt never be forgotten of thy God but with his arm wil he defend thee and compass thee about and thy seed shall be increased and thou Ierusalem shalt be made the praise of the whole earth for among you is laid the sure foundation and the tryed stone Christ Jesus the light of the world upon whom you have believed which unto the Nations is a stumbling stone but unto you precious bring in your testimony and set to your seal is there salvation in any other but in him who is the light of the world nay there is no redemption wrought but by him nor no deliverance but through him his is the Kingdome the Power and the glory and he is become all in all and you are no more of this world but are of the chosen generation and of the royal Priesthood a people Redeemed unto whom there is none like among the thousands of Israel and Iudah whose God is the Lord whose Saviour is the Prince of Righteousness who covers your heads in the day of Battel and smites your enemies in the hinder parts and wounds them in the fore-head And now my beloved let his name be had in remembrance for evermore and let his praises be declared throughout Ages to come and walk you worthy of his everlasting love wherewith he hath loved you more then your brethren let his name be exalted by righteousness by purity and by a blameless life and bring forth the fruits of righteousness and peace and let yout light shine forth into the world and your good works abound plentifully for you are as a City set on a hill and as a lighted candle to shine abroad and are created unto good works Let faith hope love and unity be increased among you and let mercy and judgement and equity flow down and be established for ever never to be removed Let joy and long-suffering and meekness and temperance spring out and be you perfect as your heavenly father is perfect Stand upon your watch Tower and bee not shaken nor dr●w 〈◊〉 aside

your selves from the Idols of the heathen be not defiled with them but abide in your strength you know where it lies by which you may work good and be preserved from evil and you need not that any man teach you for you are taught of God and are far from oppression Ye children of light worship your God for ever who is light and in him is no darkness at all who is the same and changes not whose mercy endures for ever Be followers of the Lamb as undefiled Virgins and let your soul scorn the glory of Babylon and Aegypt for ever for you are not your own but are bought with a price no more to serve
