is freely given and tendred to all Nations and none are hindered from having a priviledge or interest in it but they who are hindered and kept from it by their iniquities unbelief so you cannot justly challenge an interest in the Covenant because of any outward line or succession you are of since many of your fathers did provoke the Lord God to wrath who were cut off for their grievous abominations whose feed was mixt with the uncircumcised neither can you attain unto this Covenant wherein God presents his seed faultless by all your will-worships and carnal observations pertaining to the first Covenant where neither Priests nor people are without fault so are all short of the promise in the second Covenant which now the Lord God is fulfilling even among many who have been strangers and many of Israel after the flesh did seek after the righteousness of the Law but attained not to it because they sought it not by faith and stumbled at the holy one who is a stumbling stone in Zion and a Rock of offence Psa 118. Isai 28. which if you stumble at and seek after the righteousnes of the law by the works of the law then your expectations will fail you and you 'l be broken to pieces and scattered in Gods wrath and perish among the uncircumcised and Rebellious if you continue in hardness of heart and Rebellion against the Redeemer who comes to turn away iniquity from them that receive him and though many of Israel after the flesh did not or do not attain to the everlasting righteousness in Gods Covenant yet his Covenant shall not be disanulled neither will he fail thereof neither shall his City lie waste nor his habitation desolate for as a City may be builded in a Barren wilderness or desart place and the Elect one may spring up as a root out of a dry ground that groweth up as a tender plant and increaseth till it bring forth precious fruit even so can the Lord God raise up seed unto Iacob who is called Israel from among the heathen and outcasts who have been accounted as the barren places and as the dry ground that doth not bring forth fruit And as that wch was planted a noble vine wholly a right seed did become a degenerate Plant of a strange vine unto the Lord even so can the Lord take plants of a wilde vine and plant them into the true vine that they may receive nourishment from the true root and grow into the nature and become branches of the true vine and said the Prophet David thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt thou hast cast out the heathen and planted it thou preparedst room before it and didst cause it to take deep root and it filled the land Ps 80. and now are the last dayes come and now is the accepted time wherein God is causing the light of Israel to break forth as a flame that shall burn up the stuble and the Bryars and the thorns which the wicked are compared unto and now behold the light appeareth to lead many thousands into the path of life and the way of peace that Israel may now remember his resting place and the people that are weary and deeply loaden under the burthen of their iniquities who does seek unto the holy One of Israel may come to find rest for their souls and in the light of the holy One they may come to learn doctrine who have murmured and they that have Erred in spirit may come to understanding Isa 29. and again it shall come to passe in the last dayes that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all Nations shall flow unto it and many people shall go and say come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob and he will teach us of his wayes and we will walk in his pathes O house of Jacob come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord Isai 2. Mich. the fourth chapter Now in these last days is the Lord God bringing this to pass that his holy mountain may be exalted and many may have a true desire to walk and come to walk in the light of the Lord which now he causeth to be Preached and published which Light many do oppose and many hates it and rejects it even many who make a professing of God in words but in practices deny him though they do build themselves up in their own imaginations and sets up their own knowledge but in resisting the light of the Lord these builders do reject the chief corner stone as it is written of them but he that believeth on him shall never be confounded nor ashamed for he shall be counted among the remnant that God hath chosen and gathered according to his promise as he hath promised Therefore behold the dayes come saith the Lord that they shall no more say the Lord liveth which brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt but the Lord liveth which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the North Country and from all Countries whether I had driven them and they shall dwell in their own land Read Ier. 16. and chap. 23. Now this in a great measure hath the Lord fulfilled and hath gathered and is gathering his seed in the North Country and he hath made his Arm and power so far manifest in many there that he hath made them able to War against Babylon who hath long oppressed the seed of Israel but spoilers and men of War cometh forth of the North that shall fight against and spoil Babylon whose weapons are the weapons of indignation which God hath given them to fight withal Isai 13. and Ier. 50. Chapters and the heathen that do resist the spirit and the powerful truth of the Lord who have laid desolate the habitation of Iacob and devoured him they shall dread before the Lord of hostes who goeth before his hoste and overturneth the wicked and casteth out the heathen that his vine may take deep root and spread forth her branches even as far as the Sea and the Lord God is pouring forth his spirit upon all flesh that both Sons and Daughters may prophesie as he hath promised which already is come to passe both among Sons and Daughters Ioel 2. cha therefore O ye dispersed ones consider these things and lay them to heart for the Lord is bringing them surely to passe and he is not slack concerning his promises he that believes them and waits in the light to see them fulfilled shall partake therein and his soul shall live and be satisfied and he shall come to praise the Lord God in his fruitful hill and rejoice in his salvation in the land of the living But they that live in pride and stifneckednesse and hardens their hearts against the counsel of the Lord and

as a root out of a dry ground Isa 53. and the Isles must listen to him and the people must hearken unto him from far for the Lord hath chosen him and made his mouth like a sharp sword in the shadow of his hand hath he hid his chosen one and made him a polished shaft in his quiver Mark how God gives his Elect power to execute Judgement who surely will shoot at the wicked and slay the unrighteous who will not listen nor hearken unto him Therefore y● scattered people dread and fear the holy One for it is he that must Reigne though long he hath been dispised and his glory and dominion must reach unto the ends of the Earth over both Jewes and Gentiles for his light is broken forth already among many and the scepter of his Kingdom is held forth and his righteousness must be declared even unto the ends of the earth that he may be known to be the foundation of many generations whom God is raising up among thousands and whom thousands in the Northen Islands of England do already witnesse raised up and take heed how you do resist his government least that the Lord God shoot forth his arrowes and empty his quiver or vials of wrath against you and kill you in his wrath for he hath a bundance of Arrowes reserved to shoot forth against them that do resist his chosen One and would not that he should rule over them nor walk in his light nor suffer it to lead them and they who are so far from knowing his government as they say that his light doth not enlighten the heathens or the Gentiles they are far out of his faith and righteousnesse and there are many such that profess his name in words but are ignorant of his righteousnesse and judgements who will not own that Gods Annointed is a light to the heathen or that the heathen are inlightned by him and such there are many but if it were so how should he inherit the wast and desolate places And how should the Gentiles seek or come unto him from far For the Gentiles shal come unto the Lord from far yea from the ends of the earth and they shall say surely our fathers have inherited lyes vanities and things wherein there is no profit Jer. 16. Now they that seek after the Lord they must first have a feeling after him and that which bringeth any to feel after him is a measure of his life and light who enlightens every man and who worketh in every man to will and giveth him strength to obey him even by his free gift which he hath freely bestowed upon man So that all who come to seek and find him who is the holy one of Israel They must not follow the vanities nor Traditions which their sore-fathers have inherited contrary to the wil and commands of the Lord but every one come to hear obey him marke they are to hear what the Lord speaketh and walke in his light for God himself must reigne and his holy one shall lead and they shall not be as the false prophets in Israel who said thus the Lord said and the burthen of the word of the Lord when the Lord had not spoken unto them for said the true prophet thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour and every one to his brother what hath the Lord answered and what hath he said Jer. 23. Chap. and now the Lord is manifesting his everlasting covenant for behold the daies come saith the Lord that I will make a new Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day● that I ●ook them by the hand to bring them out of the Land of Egypt which my covenant they brake although I was a husband unto them saith the Lord But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those daies saith the Lord I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and I will be their God and they shall be my people and they shal teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them even unto the greatest of them saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquitie and I will remember their sin no more Read Isa 54. and Jere. 31. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities whereby they have sinned against me and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have transgressed against me saith the Lord God Read chap 33. and again I will take you from among the heathen and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be clean from all your filthinesse and from all your Idols will I cleanse you a new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you an heart of flesh and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes Read Ezek. the 11 Chap. and Chap. 36. and again saith the Lord I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people and they shall trust in the Name of the Lord the remnant of Israel shall do no iniquity nor●speak lyes neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth for they shall feed and lie down and none shall make them afraid Zephaniah the 3d chap. Now these things is the Lord God of Israel bringing to passe in these our daies since he hath this second time stretched forth his hand and made bare his holy arme to recover his seed in the Islands of the Sea and in all countries where it hath been scattered and many do already know and feel him who taketh away all iniquity and doth even thorowly refine his heritage who is the teacher of his people himself therefore all they who do not believe that they shall be so taught of God But that they must have need of men to teach them so long as they live in the body they are in darknesse deny the promise of God which his seed that believes in him is a witnesse of And all they that do not believe that any may be washed and thorowly cleansed from all sin and iniquity whilst they live their faith is out of Gods light and they deny his Covenant and so cometh short of adoption because of their unbeliefe and the deceit of their hearts for this is the Covenant which God will gather his people into even the covenant that he made with David who walked wisely before the Lord and with a perfect heart and became wiser then his Teachers when he knew the deliverance and salvation of God towards him and all that believe in the light of the everlasting

Covenant of God they come to be made partakers of the sure mercies of David whose Tabernacle the Lord God is building up among men and restoring the waste places thereof that his seed may be exalted and his Covenant may be injoyed among his people in which Covenant they may witness holiness and purity and life in the countenance of the everlasting Jehovah and the Prince of Peace whom the Kingdom and the government belongs unto and in this Covenant they shall be so spotless that the Lord will not find fault with them as he did with them that brake the first Covenant wch he commanded in Horeb and gave to the Israelites when he had led them out of Egypt which Covenant is put an end to for righteousness by that which never shall have end wherein his people shall be found faultless therefore linger not in death and darkness and go not a whoring after your inventions and take heed of rejecting the message or despising or persecuting the messengers of the everlasting Covenant of God as your fathers of old have done least the iniquities of them that hated Gods Covenant and slew the Prophets be upon you And now is the Lord God of power sending forth messengers to witness forth his everlasting name and Covenant and to direct peoples towards his holy mountain and habitation yea the Lord sends forth messengers from the North Countrey to witness forth his Covenant for his remnants sake and behold he causeth his trumpet to be sounded forth and his voyce to be uttered through his sanctified ones whom he hath chosen to War against Babylon against her that is polluted whose abominations have been long over all the earth therefore blessed is that people and happy is that land that receiveth the Testimony of the everlasting Covenant of God and do open the doors that the righteous that holds the truth may come in and be received among them in the name of the everlasting Jehovah who hath sent them that his Name may be published and may be great even among the Gentiles or heathen from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same as he hath promised Malachi the first Chapter But wo unto them that reject the messengers whom God sendeth forth of the north Countrey and who despise their message and persecutes them or puts any of them to death he Lord God will himself arise like a man of war and will awake and come forth against them to destroy them as a fierce lion that cometh forth of his Thicket to lay hold on the prey for they that truely receive the witnesses that God sendeth forth to direct people into his living way they receive him that sent them and so receives his truth in the love of it but they that reject them they do reject him that sent them and so do refuse the waters of Shilo which run softly and therefore will the Lord bring upon them his fierce indignation as an overflowing scourge that shall sweep away the refuge of lyes and lyars and evil doers into the pit of his indignation therefore O ye scattered people have a regard to Gods Covenant and to his Truth that his Elect seed and heritage may be known among you that there may be a man found among you to make up the breach which hath been between God and you and that he may stand in the gap whom God hath chosen to mediate between him and you and to turn away his wrath from you which hath come upon you because of your Rebellion for thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem break up your fallow ground sow not among thorns circumcise your selves to the Lord and take away the foreskins of your hearts ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Ierusalem least my fury come forth like fire and burn that none can quench it because of the evil of your doings Jer. 14. chapter so be not uncircumcised in heart but let thine ear and thy heart be circumcised and hearken to the words of the holy One who calleth unto the prisoners to come forth and who is come for to relieve the oppressed he saith the Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary and again he saith the spirit of the Lord God is upon me because he hath appointed me to Preach good tydings to the meek he hath sent me to binde up the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the Captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourn Isai 61. chap. Mark whom glad tydings liberty and comfort is Preached unto not to the hard-hearted nor the proud nor the stubborn nor such as are at ease in their inquities which causeth the seed of God to suffer and imprisons the just but to the meek to the prisoner and to him that mourneth hear this thou seed of Jacob and receive consolation O Israel for thy Saviour and Redeemer is come to visit thee according to the promise a deliverer shall come forth of Zion and he shall turn away iniquity from Jacob for unto him the Lord saith I am with thee to save thee though I make a full end of all Nations whether I have scattered thee yet will I not make a full end of thee but I will correct thee in measure and will not leave thee altogether unpunished Jer. 30. therefore come forth come forth O Israel in the light and glory and strength of thy Redeemer and let thy Tabernacle be set up for Nations to come to and let thy tents be set up and increased among the heathen and let them bow to thy Standard and Ensign and inlarge thy dwelling places and thy borders over the desert waste places where thou mayst find a way for thy seed and rivers of living waters may issue forth unto thee for thy thirsty ones to drink at that thou maist be nourished and thy children satisfied in a fruitful land that thou maist possesse a goodly heritage and thy seed shall be known among the Gentiles and thy off-spring among the people and all that see them shall acknowledge them that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed for these are they who walk in the wayes and keep the judgements and obey the commands of the Lord God whom he calleth and Redeemeth and justifieth by his righteousness which he revealeth in them whom he finds out in a day of salvation and whom he gathers in an accepted time who do answer his call in due season and are willing to keep his Covenant and such a seed and a people will the Lord God find out in many Nations where his word shall be heard and unto whom his standard shall be listed up And ye scattered Jewes this know that now as the everlasting Covenant of light and life
