is adventured upon the same But whilest our hearts are pouring forth daily Prayers towards God and Exhortations towards you that you may be faithful to give publick Testimony to the Name Truth and Salvation of God our Souls also desire that you all may eat and drink of that spiritual food which will cause your inward man to grow and that your own hearts may be kept pure and undefiled in his Presence and that the Seed of Life with the fruits and blessings thereof may fill your own Souls that while you are striving by patience and long suffering against your outward enemies no inward enemy of evil lusts or affections strife or divisions or any thing of this world may enter into your bosoms to defile you Dearly Beloved alwaye● h●ve a special regard unto your standing as to God-ward and what increa●e of Life Love Peace and Comfort ye daily receive in your spiritual man knowing that by the inward vertue of the Fathers presence the Peace and Joy of God in your inward man dayly receive● from him by that must you stand in strength and dominion against all enemies within and without Therefore feel the Seed of God and it's growth and incre●se in your own hea●ts that you may have perfect Peace and Vnion with God in Spirit while ye are hearing publick Testimony by doing or suffering for his Truth and Name J. C. And Brethren our hearts and Souls reach unto and dearly Salute you all for while we remember the Lord and his goodness unto us we cannot forget you no not the least babe and little one amongst you all for what are we or you or all of us together joyntly or apart but what we are in his life love and peace that endureth for ever whose Mercies Glory Riches and Goodness as so many sparkling Diamonds and Jems of Value adorn our Crown and make it Glorious and every one doth shine with Lustre and Beauty in the eyes of all that behold us and whilest we are so Adorned may we not say our cloathings are white and fine such as are in Kings Houses and our attire no other than what becometh Princes and what ever we have been it matters not except to set forth the favour and goodness of him that hath so raised us from the dunghil amongst the Beggars to sit upon Thrones in Glory with Princes and to shew how the Angel of Gods presence hath saved and taken us from our begging state at the Rich man's ga●e like so many Lazaruses bruised and wounded from head to foot and carried us into Abrahams bosom where we are at Rest praising our God and our King of Riches and Mercy for ever Dear Friends we write unto you all that you may partake with us of the same life glory rest and peace and not only drops and sprinklings of the same but full measure heaped up and running over For you are our witnesses that we with the rest of our Faithful brethren have not withheld from you the whole Counsel of God revealed to us and in us according to the good pleasure of our Lord and Master neither have we kept back from declaring to you his Mind and the mysteries of his Kingdom yea his hidden mysteries which have been hid in God since the world began and that in season and out of season at all times and places as he hath given us opportunities and required us so to do and that not in words which man's wisdom teacheth lest thereby we should make void the Cross of Christ but in plainness and simplicity that God's Witness in every Conscience might answer us and we unto every Conscience might be made manifest in God's fight as we know we are this day and we have our reward from the Lord of the Harvest that sent us forth and this adds to our comfort in this day that we were faithful unto our God in what he committed to our charge And now what is o●rs and our Brethrens reward and Crown of rejoycing but this That you stand faithful in this time of Trial for you know we have not been like unto those who have begotten into the airy Spirit that so you might be alwayes kept in the uncertainty ever learning but never get ability to learn and perform what you have been taught for what we have received from Christ by vertue of his Resurrection and Assention is perfect and hath been Ministred unto you for the perfecting of you all with the rest of the Sanctified ones in Christ Jesus until you all come to a perfect man in Christ even unto the fulness of the measure of the stature of Christ. For which we pray and desire of our God and Father for you all Let your Meetings be in God's fear and Counsel as at other times never heeding what man can do unto you but still be you all followers of that which is good and then who can or shall harm you Keep in the Love to and unity with that of God in all Let the witness of God in all answer your words and actions rendering to none evil for evil but overcoming the evil with the good so shall you be known to be the servants of the Living God and followers of the Lamb as dear children And be terrified in nothing as from any of the sons of men that can befall you for all your hairs are numbred and not one shall fall without Gods Providence neither shall the wrath of the wicked be unbounded but what ever turns not to his praise that he will restrain and the Day of your Deliverance hastneth only look not you out but keep close unto the Lord with your eyes only towards him and not upon or unto any temporal or visible thing but alone unto the Lord God of Life and unto the measure of himself made manifest in your own hearts for unto That you were directed at the beginning and in It is your safety and preservation unto the end J. P. And Dear Brethren the Lord God Almighty who is our alone Salvation having laid the thoughts of the Cause of our sufferings near unto the Secrets of his own Soul uttereth his Voice out of Sion to you his Children in his City Jerusalem saying S●and up ye babes of my blessings and you sons and daughters of my love Gird Gird on Strength in this day of my battel for loe My Banner is over you My Standerd is with you My Ensigne is displaid amongst you and My everlasting Power and Omnipotency attends you And it shall not fail you I will not leave you in the day of Adversity nor forsake you in the time of Captivity for I have Chosen you I have Called you I have Purchased you after the travail of my Soul for you And Blood even the everlasting blood of the Covenant of my life was paid as a Ransome for you and now you are no more your Own but Mine and I cannot be Hid nor Separated from you but as I am faithful I will
