the Egyptians in the Red Sea of his wrath Wherefore J magnifie the God of heaven who is light extoll him above all Gods for the Proud he is able to abase with his Judgements to exalt the meek with his tender mercies Thus have I d●unk the bitter Cup of Gods fierce Indignation The mini●●ration of the Law and of the condemnation Which in its time was glorious the just rejoyced therein Untill the Prophets Ministry came by which the hope came in Of a Redeemer from all sin the Law and curse thereof And of the deliverance from the Judgement and the wrath Which stayed me in the patience to bear the indignation Under which I long had travelled through many tribulations Until Johns Ministry I came to see which was the great'st of all The Prophets which had gone before frrm the great'st unto the small For then the way was made so straight the path was made so plain That th' Coming of Gods Son I saw in his great power to raign Whose kingdom now is Come with power the L●mb is sets on 's throne The least that in this kingdom is be greater is then John So here the mystery of the work of Regeneration is He that can read me herein may know where my dwelling is So when he had thus exercised me with his judgements and filled my heart with his tender mercies enlarged it with his loving kindness so that the way of his Commandments was delightful unto me my life was not deare unto me for his sake then he spake unto me saying Thou must be my servant to bring again the dispersed of Israel c. with much more which I judg is not expedient here to be expressed So to his service I gave up my life truly whatsoever I had I accounted not dear for his sake for he gave me the promise of his good presence that it should never leave me nor forsake me but that he would accompany me therwith And he a faithful and keepeth Covenant and performes his word unto his servnt For he hath carried me through many Countries in which I was a stranger from one Nation to another People he hath led me some times through many people of divers strange Languages and his good presence never departed from me since I left the Land of my nativity but he is a constant Compan●on on unto me and his Almighty power it with me through which I am able to do all thing● nothing is hard unto me though bonds travels attend me yet the comfort of his spirit is with me all places are alike unto me both the roaring Sea and the dry Land because of his omnipresence who created them all And this is the Mighty God of Abraham ●saac and Jacob vvho is vvith me vvho fil● my heart dayly vvith his love and causeth his blessing and living vertue to abound so that my cup doth overflovv for vvhich I blesse and magnifie his name and sound forth his praises through the horn of his ovvn annointed And this the God vvhom David served vvho is now with me even he that made him wiser then his Teachers and gave him more understanding then the Ancients and delivered him out of the mouth of the Lyon and from the paw of the devouring Bear and gave the life of the uncircumcised Philistine into his hand even he it is that doth accompany me and carry me through all my travels who spake to Moses out of the bush when it was on fire and was not consumed at whose voice Moses feared and trembled exceedingly this is he of whom I make my boast who leads me whithersoever he pleaseth And who shall withstand him in his way and not fall before him for the lofty City he bringeth it down he layeth it low even with the dust Wherefore howl ye Inhabitants thereof For behold your desolation commeth swiftly and none shall be able to hinder it for the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way and who is he that can withstand him or be able to deliver you out of the just hand of the Almighty for he is greater and stronger then all whose Controversie is certainly great with you and will assuredly plead with you in his jealousie and in his fierce indignation and you shall not escape his hand for he will find you out whatsoever covering you hide your selves under and he will recompence every one according to their doings for all things are naked and bare before him with whom we have to do And his Kingdom of Righteousness shall be exalted over all the Kingdomes of the earth and the Lord God Omnipotent shall raign and the Powers of Darkness must bow before him that sits upon the throne and rides upon the white horse whose name is called Faithful and true and in righteousness he doth judg and make war wherefore let the Armies that are in Heaven rejoyce that follow him upon white Horses for your enemies shall be given into your hands for a prey and by their spol shall you be enriched He that hath an ear to hear let him hear what the spirit saith which now speaketh expresly and signifieth the things that must shortly come to passe Wherefore put on valour and courage you Heads of the Army of the Lords heavenly Host vvho are in the front of the battle and are oft-times deeply engaged in vvar vvith the beast and false Prophet who must be taken alive and cast into the lake J say unto you my beloved Biethren and fellovv Souldiers vvhose weapons are not carnal but spiritual and mighty through God J am not unsensible of your Travels Combates and oppositions and hardships which daily you meet vvithal but in my measure partakes vvith you do truly travel in your strength I speak to the vvise in heart and J also partake with you of the everlasting Consolation which daily abounds so that we need not faint in our minds nor in our hearts though our enemies seem many in number and great in strength for the Lord the mighty God of Jacob is with us even the Mighty Jehovah is on our side and this you fully know and it is not because you know not these things that I write thus unto you but because you know it and can seal to this Testimony and that you may be refreshed hereby and he it is that fights all our battels for us and all Nations are but as a drop of a bucket before him and the hearts of Kings are in his hand and he can turn them as the Rivers of waters who turns a fruitful Land into Barreness for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein Oh my beloved Brethren how doth my soul love you and cleave unto you how oft are you in my remembrance and sweet pleasant and delightful is the remembrance of you unto me your beauty oft-times even ravisheth my heart and at this time even overcomes me your Crown is glorious which I behold and the

giveth grace unto the humble by which he teacheth them his precepts even by his good Spirit of Grace which brings salvation and which hath appeared unto all men by this I say he teacheth them that denying ungodliness worldly lusts they should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world mark the Grace which teacheth this and which brings salvation hath appeared unto all men so that which brings salvation is nigh you the Grace of God which hath appeared unto you so every one mind that and none turn it into wantonness nor into lasciviousness but every one give up to be taught by it that the precepts of God you may come to know walk in them And so here is the great salvation of God God's Covenant of Light which lighteth every man that comes into the world I have given thee saith he a Covenant of Light to lighten the Gentiles that thou maist be my salvation to the ends of the Earth Mark God's Covenant of Light for salvation which lighteth every man that comes into the World in which Light the Nations of them that are saved must walk and saith God who is Light I the Lord search the heart and try the reins look unto me and be saved all ye ends of the earth mark again unto him that searcheth the heart and trieth the reins all the ends of the earth must look for salvation so that it comes not from the Mountains nor Hills but salvation is of the Lord and God is Light and in him is no darkness at all and this is the Father of Lights and is in the Son and the Son in him the Father Son are one who lighteth every man that cometh into the world wherefore dwel in the Light walk in the Light that you may be children of the Light for the earth shall be covered with darkness and gross darkness shall be over the people but the Lord shall become the Light of his Israel and his God his glory Wherefore come out of the gross darkness with which the Earth is covered and walk in the everlasting light of the Son of God wherewith you are enlightened and walk no longer in the dark paths of ignorance neither follow the blind guides of the World any more who have fed you with their own airy imaginations and conceptions and brain-study and have spoken unto you a divination of their own brain and not from the mouth of the Lord and your souls are not satisfied with all that ever you received from them and why will you spend your money for that which is not bread ann your labour for that which doth not satisfie your soul● Oh hearken diligently unto the voice of God who is Light that you may eat of that which is good and your souls may be satisfied for why should your souls be in poverty and dry and barren now the Fountain of durable riches is open but because you are alienated from the Lord and strangers to his Covenant of Light Wherefore the restoration all wait to know by him who brings back again that which hath been driven away that the return of your captivity you may come to know and witness out of Babylon that great City whose desolation cometh suddenly and be ye separated from the abominations thereof and touch not the unclean thing that you may be received of the Lord into my Father's House where my dwelling is in which there is no want of any good thing for here is all plenty of Heavenly rich virtue and sweet consolation wherefore I cannot but invite all who are hungry to come freely for the Fountain is open and whosoever thirsts may drink of the water of life freely But now my Friends this know That the way that leads to this Ocean of Rest Kingdom of peace and Fountain of life is strait and narrow and none can walk therein but through self-denial and taking up the daily Crosse to the carnal mind vvhich may seem hard to such as enter into Reasonings and Consultations vvith the vvrong nature vvhich vvould still live but that being denied and the light being joined unto vvhich manifests the vvay and the Cros● being taken up and the yoke submitted unto then the Povver of the Lord you vvill feel vvhich vvill subject the contrary nature and vvil make the vvay easie plain before you yea and delightful unto you though it be in the midst of the paths of Judgement for the righteous wil rejoice therein though many oppositions and sometimes many difficulties you may find in the way yet keeping to the Light in singleness feeling the power of God and the secret working thereof it will keep the mind cool and exclude the Consulter and then the way thou wilt see open clear before thee through all difficulties and as thou waitest in the pure fear of the Lord keeping thy mine staid upon him thou wilt feel his good hand of love reaching unto thee daily administring renewedness of strength unto thee whereby thou wilt be sufficiently encouraged to press on in the strait and narrow way and the way of his commandments wil be delightful unto thee and not grievous and he wil replenish thy heart with his grace make thee know the aboundings of his love which vvil exceedingly enlarge thy heart So let none stumble or start aside at the straitness of the way but be vvilling to submit to the Cross that the Crovvn thou maist come to receive which is immortal and eternal and then it vvill never repent thee vvhatsoever thou art made to deny for an hundred fold thy revvard vvil be in this life from the hand of the Lord and peace and life everlasting thou vvilt have the assurance of and it thou vvilt possess and enjoy and tbis is of more value vvith the upright in heart then all the love glory or friendship of the World for that lasts but for a little season and then passeth avvay but this Inheritance is everlasting and never hath an end Wherefore let not your minds be captivated vvith any perishing thing vvhatsoever but in that vvhich vvil redeem the mind out of all that is perishing in that dvvel and you vvil knovv a daily dying unto sin and to all things of that nature vvhich keeps the soul in death and thereby you vvil be quickened unto God and the desires and secret breathings vvhich are in you after God vvil more and more encrease be renevved and fervency of heart and zeal for the Lord will encrease also and where these fervent desires and breathings are in any one nothing wil satisfie it but the presence of the Lord and as this is dwelt with in sincerity and singleness the Lord in his own time will manifest himself to thy everlasting satisfaction and comfort and joy and everlasting content Wherefore let not any thing be accounted dear for his sake for he that loveth father or mother wife or children or any thing more then me saith Christ is not worthy of me Wherefore I now publish the Decree of the Almighty unto all Nations That whosoever will not serve worship and obey the God of Heaven who is Light and searcheth the heart of man even he shall dye and darkness shall be his covering and gross darkness his pavillion and death shall be his life and the Terrours thereof shall compass him about world without end Josiah Coale THE END Pag. 3. lin 25 for
