Your Brother and Companion, W. D. In York Castle, given forth from the Spirit of the Lord, the 26th. day of the second month, 1661. To the true Church of the firstborn of the holy seed of God, to shine in his glory as lights of the world, to witness against their evil deeds, in your faithful bearing his name in Righteousness, where you are scattered ov●r the face of the earth, amongst all Nations and People, these with understanding read in the fear of God. DEar Brethren and Sisters born of the birth of the Son of the morning, of the everlasting day that is risen amongst you in the Northern Countries, and sprang up ●o you in Barbadoes, New-England, Virginia, Bermudoes, and the Countries and Islands there aways, and elsewhere, which the Lord hath visited in this day of mercy; Oh! prise the Love of the Lord God, who hath brought you to know the voice of the Son of the everlasting day to baptise and bury the mortal into death, that he might raise up his immortal Child, the birth of the morning in all your hearts, to receive his heavenly virtue in the Resurrection of his Life to reign and have Dominion, in his infinite strength to stand living witnesses of the name of the King of glory; Let this infinite Love which he hath manifested in you, constrain every one in particular to watch and pray, that the birth of the morning of the mighty day in you all rule and reign in every heart, to guide you in the light, as he is in the Light, that in the deep love in his Life you grow up together in the pure close union one with another in him, that the birth of the night be trodden down in every one, and be crucified upon the Cross in your faithful obedience to the Lamb of God, who in the light is come to crown you with his glory, and cleanse you with his blood, and fill you with his innocency, that in the oneness in the holy birth you grow in eternal unity all as one in the measure of his life, to follow the Lamb wherever he goes, and let no straightness be upon your Spirits, nor any thing difficult in what you are called unto, over all the walls of the fenced City of Babel you shall leap in the Authority of God, and a top of all the mountains of opposition shall you skip as innocent Lambs, and amongst all the Armies with their confused noise, you shall run through them as the Angels of God; yea now is the day that one in the authority of God shall chase a thousand, and five put ten thousand to flight (without a carnal weapon) for the fiery flaming presence of the Lord goes before his birth, for which sake the Lord is risen to smite the hearts of the Heathen with fear, and to give to the mighty of the earth a cup of astonishment, in vain it is for them to seek to save themselves that seek to destroy the birth of the day, the decree is gone out against them, and the arm of the Lord is stretched out according to his counsel, which he will never draw in, till he hath caused his birth to reign and bring to nought all that resist his appearance; you chosen generation, feel the virtue of the Son of God in every one, and abide in him; let your vessels be filled with the comfort of his Life, that you may tread upon every thought, and every imagination that's contrary to the Light; and all take heed of being hasty at any time of uttering words before him; Let his government be upon all your Spirits, that you may have the infallible seal of his Spirit in all your exercise, and in your meetings and all times feel the glory of his life crowning the holy birth with the joy of his Salvation, and when he fills you with his overcoming virtue, and moves you in the strength thereof, be obedient, quench not the Spirit, and keep within the bounds of the Spirit, that you may retain the salt and savour in yourselves, and in all with whom you are, that none strive further than the Lord leads, and moves in his life, and all feel the honourable babe in Dominion, that makes self of no reputation, and humbles self to the Cross, and is the least in its own eye, whatever the Lord does with it; and let the strong serve the weak, and bear its burden, and all feel the healing restoring Spirit in you all, to improve every gift God gives you to the glory of the Lord, and gather you into the life of truth, that there be not found any serving themselves with the gifts of God, and putting the jewels on the false birth, which the Father gives to the true Child of his immortal seed; I say in the word of the Lord, let not such a thing be found with any, for it grieves the Spirit of God; let the true birth in you all, the innocent Child reign over the son of the bondwoman, so will you all be clothed with the King's garment, in his Light and Life to walk in singleness of heart, who will fill you with the beauty of his holiness at all times, which will make you run together in faithfulness, who will fill your cups with the joy of his Salvation, which will cause you with broken hearts and contrite Spirits offer up an acceptable Sacrifice on his holy Altar in his Sanctuary, and the assembly of his holy people, before whom all Nations shall fall, and the people that know not God from the highest to the lowest shall be confounded to the ends of the earth, and the scattered seed shall come out of the Nations with joy to behold the glory of the Lord, in the mountain of his holiness, which he hath and is, and will establish a top of all the mountains of this world, and all Nations shall flow unto it, saying, Come let us go unto the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, he will show us his way, and we will walk in his paths, and the Law shall go out of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, Righteousness shall run through the earth with a mighty stream, and Babylon that hath shed the blood of the Saints shall be thrown down before the glory of our God, as a stone into the Sea, and shall never rise again, the mouth of the Lord of Hosts hath spoken it. You innocent Lambs and redeemed people of the Lord Jesus, who hath passed through great tribulations, and hath washed your garments, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, in the innocency of his life; Rejoice, praise the Name of the King of Zion, stand unmoveable upon his holy Mountain, that you may sing the new song of the high praises of our God, which none can learn, but who are redeemed from the earth, that in the Authority of his Life you may magnify the Name of the Lord for ever; the presence of the Lord God lead you with his out stretched arm to the perfecting of his praise over all in his Dominion. Amen. W. D. In York Castle, given forth from the Spirit of the Lord the 26. day of the 2. month, 1661. DEar faithful Friends in God, who hath known the day in your travail, that not any thing hath been dear to you, not life itself, that you might enjoy the light of the countenance of God, which he hath now manifested in the everlasting Covenant of his Light in Christ, which now constraineth in the power of our royal life, born of the noble seed, to stand out, over and above all flattering tongues, and all threatenings and wrath of men, which will be more and more manifest before this day of trial be over, and what wrath ever the Lord suffers to arise in the powers of the earth, without the Lord move, do not any seek to stop it, let God have the glory, the wrath of man turns to the praise of God, and the remainder he will restrain, while the royal babe which is in meekness and patience stands still, and giveth glory to God in faithful obedience with life to death if the Lord call for it, who hath blessed the labour of all he called into the vineyard of God, in whom my bowels is enlarged in the strength of the life I have received of the Father; oh feel me, for I am with you filled with joy in the Lord, that his Royal birth is brought forth, and the captive set free, the tongue of the dumb loosed, and in the living power of God raised, to offer up living praises on the holy Altar of God, in the Assembly of his Saints; oh lift up your heads, be glad in the strength of the Lord, in this day of gathering the good ripe fruit, in the vineyard of the Lord how doth the vines abound with virtue, laden with clusters of the purest grapes fully ripe, which drops abundantly with the wine renewed in the Kingdom of the Father; Oh fill your cups, be not straitened in your Spirits to receive of the fullness of God, in whom I am constrained to say unto you in the Light, drink, drink abundantly, let the thirst of the immortal birth earnestly in the Light reach forth itself, to draw more and more the infinite Life, that it may comprehend you in the power of itself, that in its strength your hearts be set free over all below, and your Spirits in the Light and Life raised in the heavenly harmony, to praise and glorify the Name of the Lord in eternal unity, to the astonishment of all that know not God, whose hearts shall fail before the Life of God, which keeps all that abide in it, with what ever he gives low in his fear, that neither heights, nor depths, nor tribulation, nor distress, persecution, or famine, or nakedness, peril or sword, life nor death, things present, nor things to come, can ever separate the Royal birth from its faithful obedience to Christ Jesus the Light; dwell out of time, and place, and over all Creature-enjoyments, in the unlimited power to guide, that your words be few, and savoury at all times, whether in bonds or out of bonds, to minister grace to the hearers, and be tender affectionate one towards another, in the pure chaste Love of God, all to lie down together in the eternal unity, one in the fullness in the most High God over all blessed for ever. Farewell. Your Brother W. D. From the Tower in York the 25. of the first Month, 1661. THE END. LONDON, Printed for Thomas Simmons, 1661.
