A VOICE OF THE FIRST TRUMPET, Sounding an Alarm to call to JUDGEMENT.  
ALL people every where repent, and turn to the Lord with speed, 
Isa. 34.1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Isa. 66.15, 16.  for the great day of the Lord is coming, Now the abomination of the desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet stands in the holy place, let him that reads understand; Awake, Awake, and stand up to Judgement, Repent and turn to the Lord with speed, for the great day of the Lord cometh; it hasteth greatly, wherein the Lord will plead with all flesh, by his sword and by fire, and great shall be the slain of them; he will cut off the Chemerims, the Black-Coats, 
Zeph. 1.4.  with the Priests, and they shall wear no more a rough Garment, to deceive, and the Lord will cut off them that bear Silver out of the Land. The day of the Lord cometh, wherein the great man shall cry bitterly; 
Zeph. 13.4. Zeph. 1.11, 12. Joel 2.10, 11, 12. 2 Pet. 3.10, 11, 12, 13.  Thus saith the Lord, Blow the Trumpet in Zion, sound ●n alarm in my holy mountain, let all the Inhabitants of ●he land tremble, the Sun shall be turned into darkness, and ●he Moon into blood, and the Stars shall withdraw their ●●ining, And Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but ●●ot one jot nor tittle of my word, shall in no wise fail, till ●●●l be fulfilled; Now the Lord is fulfilling ●is promises, made in the time of old, and the earth shall be burnt, 
●. ch. 13.8,  with all the works therein: Nevertheless, according to his promise, we look for new Heavens and new Earth, 
●ev. 21.23, 〈◊〉 the end. ●ev. 32. ● 4.5.  wherein shall dwell righteousness, and the Nations that are saved, shall walk in the glorious light and liberty of the Sons of God, and shall come and see his glo●y.  
Now all people whose minds are abroad, and whose hearts are in the earth, running on in the broad way that leads to destruction, consider where you are, and return to the Lord whilst you have time, 
Mat. 7.13.  now the Lord is coming to call all to an account, whose servants they are, and whose works they have wrought. Know ye not, 
Rom. 6.16.  that his servants you are, to whom ye do obey? he that commits sin is the servant of sin; Let every one that names the name of Christ, depart from iniquity, 
Mal. 4.  the Lord is of purer eyes then to behold Iniquity, he is a consuming fi●e, and no unclean thing shall stand before him; Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, 
●● Joh. 4.  shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire; behold the day cometh that shall burn as an Oven, and all that are proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be as stubble, 
●sa. 66.15, 6.  and the day that cometh shall burn and consume them up, and shall leave them neither root nor branch; every one in particular consider whose servants you are, for he that commi●s sin is th● servant of the Devil, and every one must be trye● by fire, the Lord is coming to plead with all flesh, by his sword and by fire, and all fruitless trees must be cut down and cast into the Lake, 
Mat. 25.41▪ o there 46.  that burneth with fire and Brimstone; see what trees you are every one and what fruit is brought forth by you, for the day doth discover every man's works, of what sort it is and every man must be rewarded according to hi● deeds; see what trees you are, and what fruits are brought forth by you; cumber not the ground ye fruitless trees, 
Rev. 13.18  that bringeth forth nothing but wild grapes as Pride and Drunkenness, Covetousness and Anger, Wrath and Maliciousness, and Envy, and Oppression, grinding the faces of the poor, and Pleasure, and Wantonness, and foolish Jeasting, and filthy Communication, for every Idle word, 
Rev. 13. ●● 16, 17, 1●  that men shall speak, they must give an account, now that the Lord is coming to Judgement; fear the Lord God Almighty, and give glory to his name, for the hour of his Judgements is coming, and give over worshipping the Beast, for all the world wonders and worships the Beast, but those who have found heir names written in the Lamb's book of Life; 
2 Thes. 1.7, 8, 9, 10  and they that worship the Beast and his Image, must drink of the wine of the wrath of the Almighty poured forth into the cup of his Indignation, wrath without mixture, and must be tormented with fire and Brimstone, in the presence of his holy Angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night that worships the Beast and his Image; 
Isa. 28.  and whosoever receiveth the mark of the Beast, Rev. 14.9, 10, 11. fear the Lord God Almighty, and give glory to his name, and departed from Iniquity, lest the Judgements of the Lord fall down from Heaven upon you; for the wrath of God is to be revealed from Heaven, in flames of fire, upon all the children of disobedience. Howl and weep for the misery that is coming, 
Isa. 34.1 2, 3, 4, 5.  except ye repent and turn to the Lord with speed; haste haste to meet the Lord, by true repentance. Howl ye Drunkards of what sort soever, the curse of God is upon you; woe to all proud and lustful ones, that lust after envy, devourers and murderers of the righteous ones in your hearts; The day of vengeance is coming upon you, all that delight in unrighteousness: Vengeance is mine, and I will repay saith the Lord; and he that envies is a Murderer, as saith the Scripture, and no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him, 1 Job. 3.15. Woe to all Hypocrites and dissemblers, that saith one thing and do another: a double minded man is unstable in all his ways, and the wrath of God abideth on the children of disobedience. Woe to all Backbiters, 
●ct. 13.41.  Cozeners and Cheaters, woe to all Scoffers, and Scorners, and Deriders, that speak evil of that they know not. Woe to all Lustful and Revengeful ones, that delight in mischief, living in Iniquity, and so departs from the living God and follow vain delights: Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things, the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience, Eph. 5.1 to ●he 7. Woe to ro●m that add sin unto sin, and that draw Iniquity, as with cords of Vanity, that add Drunkenness to Thirst, and Pride to Covetousness, and Envy to Wrath, and Backbiting to Maliciousness, and Cozening to Cheating, and Scoffing to Scornfulness, and Pleasure to Wantonness, and so nourish their hearts as in a day of slaughter, Jam. 5.5. and kill and slay the holy one and the Just. Woe to them that call evil good, that put light for darkness, and darkness for light, and so draw Iniquity as with Cart-ropes, and add sin to sin, Gaming to Sporting, and Swearing to Lying, and Hypocrisy to Dissimulation, and so lust after Revenge to Persecution, which are fruits of the Devil: they that are after the Flesh, they persecute them that are after the Spirit; and the fruits of the flesh are manifest, which are these, A●●ul●ery, Fornication, Uncleanenessé, Lasciviousness, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness, and such like; as Pride and Oppression, and grinding the faces of the Poor, and Lying and Swearing, and Pleasures and wantonness, and Scoffing and scornfulness and Cozening and Cheering, and doublemindednesse, which is Hypocrisy, but they which do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of Heaven, Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. God is pure, and of purer eyes, then to behold Iniquity; be not deceived, God will not be mocked, for such as ye sow, such shall ye reap, 
Rom. 8.8.  they that sow to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap Corruption, and they that are in the flesh cannot please God: 
Isa. 2.10, 11, 12.  cumber not the ground ye fruitless trees, that bring forth no fruit, but that which is corrupt; thou proud and lofty one, thou are a fruitless tree, and must be cut down, 
Mat. 3.10.  Isa. 2.17. All the haughtiness of man must be brought down, and all the loftiness of man laid low, that the Lord alone may be exalted, and the day of the Lord is coming upon all flesh howl and weep, you that live in envy and wrath, which are fruitless trees, Cumberers of the ground, and must be cut down and cast into the fire of the Indignation of the Lord God Almighty. 
Mat. 7.19, 20.  Cumber not the ground ye Drunkards, ye are all fruitless trees, and must be cut down by the power of the Lord, and cast into the fire; 
Rev. 18.  cumber not the ground ye Scoffers, and Scorners, and Deriders, your deeds make you manifest: you are cumberers of the ground, ye Cozeners and Cheaters, Backbiters and malicious ones, and Persecuters, 
Rev. 1.14, 15.  you are fruitless trees that Judas speaks of, that defile the flesh in living in lust and excess to that which is evil, no fruit is brought forth by you, but wild grapes; Envy, Wrath, Malice, 
Rev. 20.10.  Scoffing, and Scorning, and foolish Jeasting, and Drunkenness and Persecution, which are fruits of unrighteousness; but know you not, 
Rev. 20.14, 15.  that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom. See 1 Cor. 6.9, 10, 11. and Eph. 5.3, 4, 5. and Rom. 29.30, 31, 32. and Rom. 2.8, 9 and Rev. 21.8. Rev. 22.15. Read these Scriptures & see if you can own yourselves to be in the condition that they are spoken to: All that follow the Imaginations of your own hearts, the Leaders of the people cause them to err, Isa. 9.16. And, the blind lead the blind, and both shall fall into the ditch together, Mat. 15.14. Like Priest, like People, and drunk in Iniquity, 
Hosea 4.  and live in Envy and Wrath, persecuting the Righteous as the Jews and Scribes and Pharisees did, and holds up the same things that they did as in Mat. 23. But woe was their portion then, and it is the portion of all the world that walks on in their steps now. Repent and turn to the Lord with speed, for the great and mighty day draweth near, which is foretold of by the Prophet Zephaniah: Read Zeph. 1.14.18. read them over an● weigh them well, and return to the Lord with all you● hearts, that he may have mercy upon you. Now yo● have time prise it, and fear the Lord God Almighty and worship not the Beast, for the hour of his Judgement is coming. Rev 14.6, 7. Woe to all that act in unrighteousness of what sort soever: The Princes are Rebellious and companions of Thiefs, every one loveth gifts, an● followeth after rewards, 
Isa. 1.23, 24.  they judge not the Fatherless neither doth the cause of the Widow come unto them. Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the mighty one to Israel: 
Ver. 22.  Ah I will ease me of mine enemies, and avenge 〈◊〉 of mine adversaries; Vengeance is mine, and I will repa● saith the Lord. How is the beautiful City become an harlot, it was full of Judgement, Righteousness lodged in i● but now Murderers: But Zion shall be redeemed wi●● Judgements, and her Converts with Righteousness, a●● the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinner's sh●● be together: and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed, Isa. 1.27, 28. And the Lord will purchase 〈◊〉 him a peculiar people, that they may worship him i● spirit and in truth, and he will return to them a pu● Language, that they may call upon the name of th● Lord with one consent, and the remnant of Israel sh●● not do Iniquity, nor speak Lies, neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they sha●● feed and lie down and none shall make them afraid Zeph. 2.9. to the 15. & the Lord alone will be the delight of his people; and thus saith the Lord, I will turn 〈◊〉 hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and ta●● ●way all thy tin, and I will Restore thy Judges as at the fi●st, and thy Counsellors as at the beginning; afterwards thou shalt be called the City of righteousness, the faithful City, Isa. 1.25, 26. And then every m●n shall sit under ●is own Vine and under his Fig tree, & no●e shall make ●hem afraid: Rejoice ye Saints and right ●ous ones, ●he time of Israel's deliverance draweth nigh; woe to ●he world, and to all that live and act in unrighteousness, the great day of the Lord draweth nigh, it hast●th greatly. Repent and turn to the Lord, Seek righteousness, seek peace if so be ye may be hid in the day ●f the Lords wrath, Zeph. 2.3. A fire is kindled, and who shall quench it? Mal. 4.1.

A FLYING ROLL To the scattered and dispersed Ones, among the Outcasts of the professed ISRAELITES in England; and where it shall meet with them.  
THat they may mind the light within, which will gather them out of all the world's ways, and worships, and customs, and fashions, up into love and purity, to have Communion and fellowship with the spirit of love in yielding obedience to it, written by one that hath been in Egypt, and is got up into the Land of the living mercies of the Lord; where there is fullness of joy and pleasu es for evermore: and he is sending into Egypt, to those that are in Bondage, and darkness, to visit them there, sending them a staff to walk by, that they may come and meet with him at New jerusalem, to worship the Father in spirit and in truth, and sing Hallelujahs to the highest, the Lord God omnipotent, who is King of Saints, King of Salem, King of Peace, ruling and reigning in power, in the hearts of his people, fulfilling his promises made of old; to whom be glory and honour for ever more.  
Now this is to you who are yet in Egypt, where th● house of bondage is, and darkness overspreading a●● the earth, such darkness as may be felt; still wait upon the Lord, and stay a while, but see that you do no● your watch neglect, lest that you do the Lords fre●● love reject; but wait within continually, having you minds kept free, that when the Angel of the Lord i● coming to set you free from under the hands o● Pharaoh, that proud hard-hearted one; you may be willing for to follow him, to see the Lords own power made manifest, and operating still within, to slay the first borne in the Land; and proud Pharaoh unto a stand, by reason of the Lords own powerful hand which is so strong in might, his enemies all to overthrow, and quite destroy both Pharaoh and his Host, in the very heat of persecution, that he may glorify his name, and put the Heathen all to shame; he is the mighty Counsellor that doth so make his power known, in confounding the wise ones of the world, and all the earthly wisdom, first within, and makes it swim in the sea of confusion; where it is by his Counsel overthrown, and so the pure seed (the Israelites) they are preserved by his might. And thus the Lord alone doth give them power and victory, even in the enemy's sight: and so he gets his name a great renown, and still he leads his people on a way which is not to them known, that they may trust in him, and mind the leadings of his love, in all their progress as they go, both in the wilderness where he doth try them all; and there they either stand or fall, because the tempter doth himself so much bestir to draw them there for to despair, not minding still to stand there always in the Lords own will, which would their own wills cross; and so the enemy will come continually unto a loss: look up to the light that is held forth by the Angel there, the Messenger of the Covenant of grace, which is sent by the Lord alone to lead his seed from place to place, following this Angel continually, yet will the enemy's subtleties to you evermore descry, that so abiding in the light, it will the way unto you show that leadeth through the cross, taking the shield of faith along: it drives down the bulwarks, strong holds, and fenced Cities all along, and through the inhabited Countries to turn to flight the Armies of the Aliens all, following the Angel of the Lord within, which will lead up the promised seed unto the King that sits upon the Throne of grace, where all the ransomed ones do meet there with the Lord, in his own holy place, at New Jerusalem, to sing forth praises unto him, who is Israel's Keeper and their King, who leads his people home to him, that they may meet at Zion, there to sing the songs of their deliverance, even in the presence of their King, rejoicing in his love for evermore, Amen. Hallelujah to the highest.  
All people every where, cease from all your Priests, they deceive you, they are blind guides, 
Ezek. 2. to the  and are ignorant of the true guide which is the spirit of truth, that guideth and leadeth into all truth: cease from them all, they are found in the same state and condition that the false Prophets were in among the children of Israel, after they were backslided, and had broken the Covenant of the Lord, and the Lord was displeased with them, 
Hos. 4.5  and sent his true Prophets to cry out against them, as the Scriptures make mention. See Isa. 56.10, 11, 12. verses, and jer. 5.30, 31. and Ezek. 34. and Hos. 6.9. and Mica 3.5, 6, 7. and v. 11. Read those Scriptures, 
Jer. 5.8  and see if your Priests be not now in the same condition that these false Prophets were in, which ran as they did, but the Lord never sent them; therefore cease from them, jer. 23.16, 17, 18, 19, 20. verses, but the woe was to them then, and the woe is to all that follow their steps now, 
Mal. 2.  jer. 23, 1, 2. Ezek. 34.2. Zach. 11.17. Therefore hold them not up least the Judgements of God come upon both them, 
job. 4.8.  and all that hold them up, for there is like Priest, like People, Hosea ●. 9. and the leaders of them cause them to err, Isa. 9.16. and the blind leads the blind, and both shall fall together, Mat 15.14. A foolish people that have eyes and see not, 
Mat. 7.19, ●0.  ears and hear not, hearts and do not understand. What will you do in the end (saith the Lord?) jer. 5.31. Shall not my soul be avenged of such a People as this? 
Mat. 3.10.  ver. 9 hold them not up for the Lord is against them, jer. 23.30, 31, 32. Cease from them, the Lord will make them contemptible in the eyes of his people, the curse of God is upon them and their Doctrine, 
●al. 5.19, ●0, 21.  so that there is nothing brought forth by them, but B●yers and Thorns as Pride and Covetousness, Envy and Wrath, Malice and Scoffing, scornfulness and Revenge, and oppression, and grinding the faces of the poor, and persceution, which are the fruits of the Devil; and know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. Eph 5.3, 4, 5 Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. Rev 21.8. Rev. 22.15. Be not deceived, 
●a. 1.16, 17.  God will not be mocked, he is of purer eyes then to beh●ld iniquity; cease to do evil, learn to do well; but down with all your Priests, blind Guides, whited Walls, and painted Sepulchers; the Lord is utterly against them, they are found unprofitable servants, their Kingdom must be taken from them and given to a People ●hat will bring forth the fruits thereof. Thus saith the Lord, concerning the Priests, and false Prophets, which have been foretold of these things, I will (saith the Lord) even send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings, and I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, and make you contemptible in the eyes of the People, Mal. 2.1. to the 10 verse, And they shall wears no more a rough garment to deceive the people withal, Zach. 13.4, 5. For the Lord will destroy the Chemarims (the Black Coats) with the Priests, as in Zeph. 1.4 But read all the Chapter, 
Mal. 2.1 the 10.  and all these other Scriptures, and weigh them well, they are now to be fulfilled; take warning betime, and cease from all your Hirelings, and idol-shepherds, they are all deceivers, hold them not up, cease from them all, every one; for he that is highest in notion, is the highest deceiver, and as your eyes are enlightened you will see it, though now you do not; but it is because your light is darkness that you see by, and if that light which is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness? If you would know the truth, as it is in Jesus, Cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils, for wherein is he accounted of? Isa. 2.22. Cease from all great and small, wait wholly upon the Lord for teaching, who hath promised to teach all his themselves, as in jer. 31.31. to 34. All the children of the Lord, they shall need no man to teach them. Now the Lord is fulfilling and making good these promises to his people, and he teacheth them to profit; likewise Isaiah he prophesied and foretold of this, in the 54. chap. and the 13. ver. where he hath said, All the Children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord, and in righteousness shall they be established, and they shall be far from oppression; and the Lord hath foretold of this, by his servant the Prophet in Ezek. 34 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The Lord alone is the teacher of all his themselves, and it is said in john, that they shall all be taught of the Lord, john 6.45. and in Heb. 8.11. There it is said, they shall not need to teach one another, saith the Lord, they shall all know me, whom to know is life eternal; To know God, is to keep his Commands, as in the first Epistle of john 2.3. He that saith he knoweth God and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, ver. 4. But some will say, that none can keep the Commandments of the Lord; there is none says so but the slothful servant, that hideth his talon in the earth; and he counts God a hard Master, because his heart is in the earth, and his love is to the world, which is enmity with God. The Saints which were taught of the Lord, their souls were purified in yielding obedience to the commands of the spirit, 1 Pet. 1.22. they said it was their joy to keep the commands of the Lord: 
●ohn 3.  By this we know that we love the Children of God, when we love God and keep his Commandments, for this is the love of God that we keep his Commandments, and his Commandments are not grievous to him that is borne again; and none else keepeth them, 1 john 5.2, 3, 4. 1 john 3.7, 8, 9, 10. and he that keepeth his Commandments dwelleth in him, and hereby we know that he dwelleth in us, by the spirit that be hath given us, 1 john 3.24. 1 john 2.5▪ Luck 1.6. Rev. 14.1. to the 6▪ This was the condition of those which were redeemed to the Lord; Hereby receive we the love of God, because he hath laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the Brethren, 1 john 3.16, 17. he that loveth not, 
●oh. 4.7.  knows not God, for God is love, 1 john 4.7. In this was made manifest the love of God, because he sent his only begotten Son into the World, that we might live through him, 1 john 4.9. Now the world is set in man's heart, 
〈◊〉. 1.4, 5▪  so that he cannot find out the beginning nor the end of the work of God, Eccles. 3.11. and (saith jesus Christ) I am the light of the world, that enlighteneth every one that cometh into the world: he that loves this light, brings his deeds to the light, that the light may prove them: he that hateth the light, hateth to be reproved, because his deeds are evil: and there is his condemnation, john 3.19, 20, 21. This light is within that shows sin and evil: he that loves this light, will hate the evil discovered by it, to cast it off and forsake it. Mind your Teacher within, you have a light, whereunto you do well to take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the da● dawn, and the daystar arise in your bearts, 2 Pet. 1.19. Mind that light within, and see what that doth discover to you, and be obedient to it, and there is your Teacher present with you, that light obeying it; there is your condemnation, that light diso bey it: Examine yourselves, prove yourselves, 
Rom. 14 17.  know you not your own selves how that jesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? 2 Cor. 13.5. Learn to know Christ within, and believe them not, that would draw your minds to seek for him without; for many shall say, lo here is Christ, and lo there is Christ, but believe them not, Mat. 24.25, 26, 27. for (saith Jesus Christ) the Kingdom of Heaven cometh not with observations, as, Lo here, and lo there, but the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, 
Mat. 7. 1●  Luke 17.21. The Kingdom of Heaven consists not in meat, or drink, but in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; but the Kingdom of the World stands altogether in unrighteousness, envy, hatred, and persecution, debate, and strife, vain pleasures, oppression, and grinding the faces of the poor, and joys, and rejoices in iniquity, 
Mat. 23.  which the woe is to: likewise the Kingdom of Heaven standeth not in word but in power; but the Kingdom of the World standeth altogether in word, without either life or power: they say and do not, but in the truth of God it's not the sayer, but the doer, that shall be justified before him, Mat. 17.21. Be not professors, but possessors; for all profession is of the cursed Figtree, that bringeth forth nothing but leaves; for there is nothing brought forth by the highest professors but leaves, fair shows, and sine words, phrases which the curse of God is unto; woe to you Scribes, and fair Sayers, Hypocrites, that appear to be in words, that which you deny in actions; in words profess love to God, but in actions deny him, Tit. 1.16. All poor simple hearts that have not such eloquent words (as some have) be faithful, as unto the Lord, in what you know, as the light within doth discover it unto you, that's the true light, that which checks you, when you either lie, or swear, or use any deceit; it checks you when you do amiss, harkening to that it will turn your mind within, and cause a watch to be set over all your thoughts, words, and actions, and bring you to stand in the fear of the Lord continually, to cast off and forsake that which is discovered to you to be evil, by that light within you; and so you will be brought to faithfulness in all things, both to God and Man, that your Yea may be Yea, and your Nay may be Nay, therein purity will grow, and patience will be exercised; your wills being kept in the Cross, to wait on the Lord in patience, till an entrance be made to your souls, and virtue and refreshment come from the presence of the Lord, and there is your Teacher always present, and the Lord hath said that he will teach the simple, and cause them that erred in spirit to understand Doctrine; therefore wait wholly on him within, that you may know the power of his truth within, working out all unrighteousness, and the power of his resurrection, ruling by his spirit in the Kingdom of grace and glory, shining forth in brightness to the praise of him who is the holy Lord God omnipotent, who doth shed abroad his eternal love in the spirits of his people, drawing out their minds from all earthly carnal and visible objects, to live holy within in that which is eternal, and invisible, who draweth his people as with the cords of his love, to taste how gracious he is, calling us out o● darkness into his marvellous light, quickening us by his spirit, the divine power of righteousness drawing up our affections into the eternal invisible inflowing of his free love, which is the joy and delight of the beloved ones of the Lord: to him alone be appraise, and honour, and glory, for overmore Amen.  
All people every where that have a desire to know the truth, know that it is the word of life, that sanctifies and purifies soul and Spirit, and is the power of God to salvation, that do●h set free from sin and wrath, and redeemeth from under the curse, for all have sinned and fall'n from the Lord, and are feeding upon dust, which is the Serpent's meat, and whose minds are yet in the E●r●h; delighting in visible objects, are not acquainted with the Lord Jesus Christ; who is the delight of his people, and leadeth them out of all the ways and works of darkness, and redeemeth them to himself, out of all things that are earthly and carnal, to have their affections and hearts upon that which is invisible and eternal, that they may partake of all his soule-satisfying comforts, and reign with him in the Kingdom of his Father, being brought by him, into the glorious liberty of the Sons of God.  
To live with him in the full fountain of his Eternal Love, he being the everlasting Prince of peace, and sits upon his Throne of Glory in his Saints; That they may have free access to the Throne of Grace, where the Lords delight is, to whom be all honour, and glory for evermore, Amen. All you whose minds are yet in the Earth; cease from all your Priests, they do deceive you, they are blind guides and do not profit you at all, because they were never sent of the Lord, jer. 23.16. Thus saith the Lord, they ran but I did not send them, therefore they shall not profit this people at all 23. v. Cease from them all every one, and wait upon the Lord for teaching, who hath promised to teach all his themselves, as in Isa. 54 13. All the Children of the Lord are taught of the Lord, in righteousness they are established, and they are far from oppression, and they shall not need any man to teach them, jer. 31.34. The Lord alone is the Teacher of all his themselves; and he teacheth them to deny all ungodliness, and worldly Lusts, and he teacheth them to be tender, and to be loving one to another and to walk as obedient Children, before him, in all holy conversaiion, not fashioning themselves like unto the World, but he teacheth his Children to deny it; And faith, be not you conformed like unto the World, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may know, what is that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God, who is pure, and will have his people so, a holy people, to bring forth fruit to his own praise, saith he, be ye holy as I am holy; for holiness becometh mine house for ever, and let your love be without dissimulation, love not in word but in deed and truth; Love one another even with the same love, that I loved you withal, and be what you speak in all things; Let your yea be yea, and your nay nay in all things, saith the Lord, it's the upright in heart that I delight in, and I love truth in the inward parts; and I would have you all my dear Children, to walk worthy of your Calling, that you may be a chosen Generation, a royal Priesthood, a peculiar people, to show forth my praise, who hath called you out of darkness into my marvellous light, walk as Children of the day, and bring forth fruit to my praise and glory. Fruits of the Spirit, Love and Peace, and Joy, Gentleness, Goodness and Meekness, Temperance, Patience, brotherly-kindness, Long-suffering, forbearing and forgiving one another, and live in love and purity, building up one another in live, for this is well pleasing unto me, saith the Lord God Almighty, I would not have you to be as the World is, because they are Ignorant, and walk on in blindness; being Children of the night, and they are carnal, and sottish, and know me not. Therefore they know not you, my faithfulness, whom I have made choice of; and redeemed you to myself, by the blood of the Lamb, that you may sit at my Table, and be planted in my House to shine forth in purity, having Union and Communion with me, being of the seed of Abraham, borne again and partakers of the word of Life, which liveth and abideth for ever, that you may rejoice in my love, and reign with me in my Kingdom of glory; I have made my Name known unto you, through my Eternal Power and Free-love, that it may be as a precious Ointment, pouring forth continually, to cheer up ●our hearts, my presence being with you, having the word of life in you, to feed upon, which is daily Bread, Bread of life, which the World knows not of; Therefore do they speak evil of you my dear ones, who are as dear to me, as the Apple of mine Eye; I have loved you with an everlasting love, freely for ●y Namesake, abide in it, and walk worthy of this high Calling, that I may be glorified by you, who ●ath done such great things for you, as to make you ●ne with myself, I in you, and you in me, that your whole delight may be in me, who giveth you ●he desire of your hearts: rejoice you Saints and Righteous ones, the Lord is King, King of love, ●hat rules above in glory, taking our affections into ●he Eternal excellencies, being taken up into that heavenly Paradise, and eats of the spices there, where the King of Peace is their Keeper of that sweet Garden of Spices where there is all varieties, joy in ●ove, and love in joy; Peace in rest and rest in peace, and mercy is the Seat, where the King of Salem doth abide, and brings his love that's made his Bride, betrothed and espoused to him, in his own righteousness to be his darling and delight, to feed upon the Spices of his love; where there is a Banqueting house prepared, in the heat time of the Day, to go and drink deep draughts of his new Wine, to take full Cups of Comfort there, which doth the heart continually cheer, and keeps it free from slavish fear, the King ●s Keeper of his Vines and hedgeth them about, and causeth them to grow, and flourish in brightness round about, and takes the Foxes that would them spoil, and giveth all his enemies the foil, ta●ing th● wise in their own craftiness, and hangs them in their own snares, and that's the reason why the wicked rage and fumes and says, truly the Lord is good an● gracious indeed, and is a a present help in the greate● time of need; he doth preserve and keep all thos● that trust in him; even in the Treasury of his own● Defence, that he alone may bring them all, from thence up to Mount Zion, where his Vineyard is, that the● may all rejoice together, the overflowing scourge bein● past; that they in him may have their joy, their peac● and eke their rest; to sing forth hallelujah, unt● him, who is their keeper and their King, Rejoice fo● evermore.
