L. Fleet Prison in London the latter end of the 1st Moneth 1671. A Tender Invitation OF LOVE UNTO PROFESSORS c. My Friends I have been one that was diligently seeking the Lord among your dead forms and empty wayes of worship which can satisfie an hungry Soul no more then Chaff and Dust can satisfie an hungry man for I must tell you plainly that Soul satisfaction cannot be had amongst you for if it could many Thousands besides my self had not come from amongst you but would still have remained with you Wherefore in True and Tender Bowels of unfeigned Love to you all am I Constrained thus to write unto you and so much the more because the Day hastens in which it will be said unto all who profess Christ in Words but in Works deny him Depart from me I know Ye not Ye Workers of Iniquity What then will become of your husky Doctrines and sin-soothing Principles who seek to apply and impu●e Christ's Righteousness to your selves though actually sinners For all your empty Notions Airy Imaginations and your Crying Lord Lord with your self Duties and Performances and all other your Trash and Trumpery will not any ways avail you in that Day when the Secrets of all hearts shall be Judged by Christ Jesus according to the Gospel and then you will find that God will not be mocked but such fruits as you have Sown Brought forth and Pleaded for in your life times shall you have a Recompence of Reward for in that great day and what Sentence soever is then passed upon you shall stand for from this Righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth shall you have no appeal unto any other Therefore while your Day and Time lasts Prise it and Turn unto the Gentle Reproofs of Christ Jesus the Light of the World in your own Consciences and then you will not be crying out for want of Power for unto all that Believe in and Receive him the Light he gives Power to become the Sons and Daughters of God whose Love is so large and whose Mercy 's are so great towards the sinfull Sons and Daughters of men that he would have none to Perish but that all might come unto him and have Everlasting Life And for that very end doth he so often appear against your Evil actions and gently Reprove you for the same when no Eye seeth or Ear heareth you But perhaps some may say that this Light which you called Quakers declare and write so much of is but a Natural light and not sufficient to save My friends I am one among the many thousands that witness Salvation by this Pure Holy and Divine Light of Christ Jesus which is able to Save unto the Uttermost all that come unto God by the same And therefore let me desire you all who have any True Breathings after God and the Knowledge of his way 's to come forth out of all Professions and lay them aside for a time and do but Give ear unto Regard and diligently Obey that which appears against your Evil Way 's and if that Light of Christ Jesus which we the People of the Lord called Quakers have proved and tryed and which hath so often appeared unto you to Discover Sin and Manifest Iniquity in the very first appearance thereof doth not do such works that none else can do and bring Salvation unto all that Believe in and Obey the same then Believe it not but if it doth O! then Believe in it for the very works sake love Regard and Obey the very least appearance of it and by so doing you may come to witness that saying fulfilled in you He that is faithfull in alittle shall be made Ruler over much But if any should say why are so many gone from and forsaken those Principles which you called Quakers are so confident in to be the Truth Why my Friends it is now as it was in Ages past for many did then as well as now turn their backs upon Truth but their so doing was not then neither is it now or will it be for any a plea and argument sufficient not to receive the Truth because others who have known it have not been faithfull unto but forsaken it For if because those in Asia had forsaken the Truth as Paul said they had who said all they which are in Asia are turned away from me 2 Tim. 1.15 others therefore should have followed their evil steps than Truth thereby might have come to be buried in Oblivion Wherefore let not the Evil Walkings of any that have received Truth and have not walked faithfully in the same but forsaken it be as a hinderance unto any one of you in receiving of it but Turn unto it and Embrace it while your Day and Time lasts that so you may lay down your heads in Peace when you are to go away hence and be no more which that you may all do is the hearty desire of Written the latter end of the first Moneth 1671.

My Friends I Once lived and walked with you also in all Manner of Prophaneness but the Lord who is rich in Mercy and full of Goodness and Truth was pleased to pluck me from amongst you even as a Brand pluck't out of the Fire and because he hath been pleased to Spare me and hath made me to become a living Monument of his Tender Mercy 's therefore am I constrained thus to Publish the same and indeed while I have a being in this Earthly Tabernacle must I Declare of and Sound forth the large Love of God which he freely extends unto all the sons and Daughters of men and at this time is it laid upon me to visit you also
