power of God and through Faith in Christ from putting forth a hand or a finger to take up a carnal Sword or other weapon for or against any creature any more notwithstanding the tumults changes overturnings strivings buffettings that hath been among the sons of men since the Lord in the infiniteness of his love hath called us out from amongst them into peace with God on earth and love to all Man-kind who are his creatures But many of us have been moved of the Lord to break our Swords in pieces and other Instruments that were prepared against creatures so that they might do no hurt and this was as a signal testimony that we should war no more as we hope whole Nations will do in due time when God hath slain the enmity that is in and among them by the power of his love which is stronger than Death as he hath done in us Glory and Honour be given to our God who lives for evermore who hath brought us to stand witnesses for him and of his works as a Pattern to all Mankind upon the face of the whole earth and as Christ said By this shall all men know that you are my Disciples if you have love one towards another And through Faith and Patience and Long-suffering with love goodness have we been made instruments to overcome the hearts and minds of many which hath been turned to the Light in their own Consciences and to the Grace of God given unto them and it is given unto us and remaineth in our hearts to continue in love to our very enemies in the Faith and Patience unto the finishing our course for the Name and Glory of God whether it be by life or death for we have full assurance how that it is better to dye in the Lord than to live in sin But let all spiritual Israel know assuredly that the rod of the wicked shall not alwayes be upon the backs of the the righteous for God will remove the yoak from off their necks and wipe away all tears from their eyes and sorrow and sighing shall flee away although some may as some hath finished their testimony in being slain for the Word of God and are received into the Kingdome of everlasting peace and Glory for ever and our warfare is spiritual and our weapons are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds and to the cutting down of every thing that riseth up against Christ within that all may be insubjection unto him whose right it is to reign and so our victory is spiritual and we do give thanks unto God who hath given us victory over sin and death hell and the grave and over the tempting spirit of envy persecution in our own particulars through faith in Christ Jesus who is the great Shepherd and Bishop of our souls and we do not at all desire victory over mens persons as they do who strive and fight with carnal weapons but our striving and smiting and fighting with our spiritual weapons is against sin and he that tempts to sin and evil which is the greatest enemy to mans everlasting peace who is the Devil and Dragon and in the power of the meek spirit and Lambs nature our-stroke is and shall be against him in all his appearances within and without as it hath been in the pure love of God the Father Vnto whom be honour and glory now and for evermore And now all you that do own this Special Warrant from God and his Law and Command from him which is Light in every Conscience and that which it requires and are awakened and stirred up thereby against the spirit of envy and persecution and in whose hearts it is to joyn with the Lamb to make war with the Dragon lend your ears to wisdomes voyce in you and so far as these lines are according to the same even so be instructed how and with what to arm your selves so that you may not be overcome with this persecuting spirit nor do any hurt to any of the Sons or Daughters of men for as the Scripture saith Wisdome is better than strength or weapons of war in this work and the lips of knowledge is a precious Jewel and every purpose herein is established by Counsel and with good advice make war for I saith the Lords Spirit will make the soul-betraying spirit of persecution feel the stroak and woe and misery and plagues and Vials double filled of the wrath of the Almighty shall come upon the head and crown of thee thou subtle Serpent but I have pity and bowels of mercy towards all mankind whom I have Created saith the Lord and I will wait yet a little longer for the return of the captivated ones that I may shew mercy unto them that do look unto me from the ends of the earth and be saved and that I may shew compassion unto ten thousand times ten thousands of those that do return at my reproof and come unto me by true and unseigned repentance yea a numberlesse number that I may be exceeding good and gracious unto them as I have been unto thousands that are already come home unto me by my true and everlasting Light saith the Creator of mankind And now all you that do own and obey Gods Special Warrant the Light which he hath sent forth into your own hearts and consciences you are all required to wait low in it to see what you are to be armed with and then to receive it in the Light and put it on then you are still to wait and to keep low to hear the voyce of the meek soul-saving Spirit and then to obey and meekly to follow him who is the Captain of our salvation and then you will see how you are to war and fight against the foes of your own house in every particular and that not without hope of overcoming and so as you put off the works of darknesse put on hope for an Helmet and faith and love for your brest-plate and your shield and let righteousnesse be your covering and keep low in the patience and let your feet be shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace and put on therefore as the Elect of God bowels of mercy kindnesse humblenesse of mind meeknesse long-suffering forbearing one another forgiving one another If any man hath a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you so also do ye and above all these things put on Charity which is the bond of perfection and so take unto you the whole Armour of God and hold fast the sword of the Spirit which is the power and word of God that so you may be able to quenoh the fiery darts of the enemy and through the strength of your Armour and sharpnesse of your weapons and through the word of God and his grace and the word of patience or the opperation of his power to effect the work in you you may be made victorious in the end of
