Published for the Use of Friends, and to prevent various Reports, that they may have a True Account in the following Testimonies, given forth by Faithful Witnesses.  
Here are also added to what was before Printed, several precious Testimonies and Epistles, which are as the Effects of the Appearance and Operation of that great Power & Wisdom of God in and amongst them.  
Printed in the Year 1679.   

Dear Friends;  
WHEN I consider the great Love of God in this Day extended so largely both to small & great, it is to my great admiration, and especially the hand of God reaching abundantly towards Children, how wonderfully he hath appeared to them, that in their Generation they may be God's Faithful Witnesses, as we have been in our Day, as the Lord hath kept us Faithful.  
Some of the Openings of that Life in them, and prattlings of their Lips, as tender Babes in Christ Jesus, are here presented to be read in the Additional Epistles and Testimonies to what was before Printed.  
Many other precious Epistles and Testimonies we have by us, which were written to their Unconverted Friends and Relations, which at this time we thought not so meet to be published.  
C. T.   

OH! dear Children, into whose hands this Book may be recommended, whether in the Truth or out of the Truth; but I hope it may meet with many that are in the Truth; a word is put into my Heart to Encourage you that fear the Lord and walk in his Way, and an Invitation to you that fear him not: And when this comes to your hands, take this holy Exhortation, and enter into your Closets, and with Seriousness and Godly Fear read this Book, which was at first put forth at that time when that Hellish Report was raised of us, That the Devil arose amongst us. This Book, I say, was put forth then to take away the Reproach; and now many other things are added unto it of the Effect of that Great and Notable Day, and the pouring forth of the Lords blessed Power and Spirit, poured forth upon our Children; a Holy Day indeed! Forever let it be had in remembrance of us, and of all those that truly fear the Lord; a Notable Day indeed! Verily the Devil Roared at it, and stirred up his Instruments to Blaspheme this his holy Work; but in the Name of the Lord, We Defy him and them.  
Ah! dear Children, what may we say unto you? of some of ours that live in the House with us, that were once wild and disorderly, as well as others, but the Lord hath made them to Lament for their Sins, and I know they have repent of them, and the Lord hath been pleased to show Mercy unto them, and now they love his Righteous Ways; and the Lord hath filled their Hearts with his holy Praises; and hath also constrained them to write to their Relations that live in Sin, and do earnestly beseech them, To Repent of their Evil Ways, and Defy the Devil, who is the whole Cause of the Misery and Sorrow that falls upon the Sons & Daughters of men, for transgressing the holy Law of God that is written in their hearts. Oh! how do they Lament over them, that they may come to Fear the Lord, & walk in his Way with them, that they may be blessed with them forever. And many blessed things are amongst them, too large here to relate.  
This greatly exercised me this Morning, and I could have no Rest until I had it writ down, and then God's Peace confirmed me, that I had done his Will. Frances Taylor. The 29th of the 11th Month, 1679.   

A Testimony to the Everlasting Power of God, (which in Ages past hath wonderfully appeared in Sons & Daughters) which hath been Despised, Mocked and Evil spoken of by the Wisdom which is from below, that sees it not, nor can know it; which heavenly Power hath appeared in our Days, and hath wrought wonderfully in and upon the Hearts of many, even to the amazement of many; and it hath met with the same Spirit of Opposition now as formerly, calling it Madness, Witchcraft and Diabolical Delusion. It was prophesied of Old, That the Lord would work a Work, which some should not believe if it were told them: This in part hath a Remnant seen in these Days, and even of late, as hereafter is mentioned.  

UPon the 4th day of the Month called June 1679. at a Meeting in the Town called Waltham-Abby in Essex of the People called Quakers, where was present about Forty or Fifty Young Boys and Maidens; God's heavenly Power broke forth in some Maids and Young Girls, it begun with Three or Four at first, broke them into Tears and Melting of Heart, continued so a small time, than it reached two or three of the Younger Boys, which melted them into Tears; and in a very small time, reached all the Boys and Young Girls, many of them being but about Eight or Nine and Ten Years old, the Power was so mighty that they were all broken into Tears, some into Trembling, and at last it reached unto the Elder People, so that all in the Meeting was broken by the Power into Tears and Melting, which did continue for about one Hour, until the Meeting was ended: This I was an Eye and Ear Witness of, and felt God's Power wonderfully, to the gladding of my Heart, and answering the Breathe of my Soul, which I have many a time had in a Travail to the Lord, for the Children, That the Lord might visit them in their Young Days: after which Meeting I had this Hope and Faith raised up in my Soul, which to some I did declare, that God had a Work to work with some of these Children, which he would bring forth e'er long. And several signal Testimonies hereof hath the Lord brought forth since, as hereafter appeareth from other Eye and Ear Witnesses thereof. And although Men in the Fallen Wisdom see not, understand not, not believe that this is from the mighty Power of God, yet there is a Remnant gathered by this Power, and have Experience of the Operation thereof, how it hath wrought in them, even in some when they were Young; these are God's Witnesses that this is his Work, yea, it is sealed to them by his Spirit: And let all the Mockers know, God's Work in our Day will be too heavy for them▪ and except they will Repent, will be a Stone of stumbling, upon which they will fall and be broken to pieces; yea, those that slight and neglect the Day of their Visitation, until it be too late, this same Power they stumble at, will fall upon them, and Grind them to Powder.  
This is from one who Travails and Breathes to the Lord, that his Everlasting Power may be more and more revealed in the Hearts of the Sons and Daughters of men, that many may be gathered out of the Full, unto Christ Jesus that never fell; that they may feel themselves growing up in his heavenly Life as living Members of him the blessed Head, then will they come to understand that these Things are from the Lord; when the inward Eye and Ear is opened, they will with me hear their Testimony, That these things are of the Lord.

A Copy of a Letter to A. P.  
DEar A. P. etc. I cannot omit but certify somewhat of our last Nights' Exercise in our Meeting, in our Family, how mightily the Power of the Lord appeared amongst us; first breaking in upon Two Young Lads, and so passed through the rest, with such Dread and Power, that there was an exceeding great shaking and tenderness amongst them, rather more than on that notable Fourth day; so that it was not without difficulty to bring several of them into stillness again: But at the last, it being late, they went to Bed, and there many of them lay Crying, Weeping and Lamenting for two or three Hours together: Others in a divers Exercise; some who had been sober, and formerly good conditioned, meek and gentle, the Power was meek with them, and overcame them in a most blessed manner; so that they were filled with heavenly Praises, uttering such words as sweet-conditioned Souls are wont to do when they are sealed by the Lord's Spirit: Others most bitterly Lamenting their Conditions, especially one of the aforesaid Lads for about three Hours together in his Bed, exceeded and cried out for Mercy, so Dreadfully, that I never (as I remember) heard a more Terrible Exercise from small or great: When I told him how patiently his Bed-fellow lay besides him; he answered, The reason was, because he had not been so Wicked as himself had been. If I could but write down the Speeches of the poor Children, under their various Exercises, I may well say, it would be as a wonderful Thing, and such a Lesson as many Hearts would be broken to read; but what shall I say, but admire the Love and Mercy of the Lord in these Things! C. was blessedly disposed on, and was truly refreshed in his Soul; and with him, and several others, there was a secret inward Harmony from a feeling Sense of God's pure Visitation; and some more dreadfully feized on, and broken in upon by the Authority of the Power, so that it was admirable to behold the variety of the Exercises suitable to the subject Matter, Condition and Disposition of every Child.  
This is a hint to thee of the matter, who I know dearly loves us, and will be refreshed at any time to hear of our Welfare. So leaving the rest to W. C. who was with us in the Meeting, if thou pleasest to inquire of him, with mine and my Wife's dear Love to thee and thy dear Wife, etc. I rest, thy dearly loving Brother in the Fellowship of God's Truth,

A Copy of a Letter to T. T.  
DEar Brother, etc. the 24th of the 4th Month, 1679. we sitting towards Evening with the Family and Children, being in all about Fifty, the Lords sweet and tender heart-breaking Power was with us in a shower of abundance of Love, Mercy and Gentleness throughout, which caused abundance of melting Tears, and great Soul-gladness, like unto the Love and Tenderness of a most tender Father, in Forgiveness and Mercy, after Correction and Submission under the same, I mean especially as to such who had been more stubborn: And the more mild and gentle-conditioned were under the pure sense of the same Power in pure Love and sweet Tenderness, with an increase of what had been poured out before at the other Meetings: so that the whole Meeting and Family at that time was, as I may truly say, overpowered with Divine comfort, in the sense of God's pure Love; nothing else from God declared to them, but that they should admire his sweet Love and Mercy, and how good the Lord was, how gentle, kind, and most tender over them, together with the great admiring of the same Love, being filled with it; so that the heavenly Flame of it drowned all manner of Sorrow at that time, and conquered all sense of Terror and Judgement, nothing but Love, at that time, and Mercy appearing and overcoming all; so that it was wonderful to behold the great Gravity and Sense of the Children in such an Exercise, there being such a general Heart-breaking Power over powering them in such a manner with God's blessing throughout declared amongst them all. And now I may say, that there is not one who hath been of the worst Temper and Disposition hore at present, but in pleading with them about their Conditions, in the sense of God's Truth, have been broken into a sensible acknowledgement with weeping Eyes; so far hath the most blessed Power of the living God appeared in this place, a Day much groaned and longed for to see, Glory to the Lord forever. And certainly the living God will bestow more of his heavenly Blessings upon us, by the still pouring forth of his heavenly Spirit, as we are dear and tender before him, and of his Glory, Amen.  
So dear Brother, admire with us the excellency of God's pure Love▪ and pray with us, that we all may be kept in the sweet and humble acknowledgement of all his most tender Mercies: And oh! that we may never give the least occasion, whereby the Lord may withdraw the sense of such great Love and Mercy from us, Amen, Amen.  
So dear Brother, if I could tell thee I would, how full of sweet Melody my Soul is at present from the sense of this his pure goodness, and how full of Joy and Gladness, and heavenly Praises: Oh! the glorious heavenly Power of the Lord God, how, when he pleases, it most wonderfully overcomes the Hearts and Souls of his beloved and tender Children! Oh dear Brother! feel, feel what my Soul can admire, but my Tongue far unable to utter, neither lawful for any man to do in this earthly Tabernacle, in which we reach unto thee dearly, and to thy dear Wife.  
And I am thy dear Brother, C. Taylor.   

The following Testimonies are from the Teachers of the Children.  

A testimony concerning the Goodness and Mercy of God our heavenly Father in Christ Jesus, manifested to the Children of our Family.  
IN the sense of the great Love and tender Mercies of the Lord God, who hath often graciously visited and livingly refreshed my Soul in our Evenings or Family's Meetings, I can and do bear this living and faithful Testimony, That at a Meeting the 23d of the 4th Month, called June, in the Evening, the great God and Father of Mercy, in a special and wonderful manner, did abundantly pour forth of his good and holy Spirit of Life and Grace upon our Spirits, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, by which our Souls and Spirits were broken and melted before him; That Waters did gush out of of the Rocks, Springs were opened in dry places, and the very Depth did utter forth its Voice. I myself was so overpowered and overcome with this heavenly Life, Virtue and Power of God, that I did shake and tremble before Him the mighty God of Heaven and Earth, who by his quick and powerful Voice shaketh the Wilderness, and breaketh the Cedars of Lebanon, at whose appearance and look the Earth Trembles, and at whose touch the Hills Smoke: This his great Love and powerful Operation upon my Heart and Spirit, being livingly refreshed and comforted by it, did cause my Soul to magnify the Lord, and my Spirit to rejoice in God my Saviour, singing and making sweet Melody in my Heart to the Lord, because he did so graciously answer the Desire of our Souls, and powerfully break in upon the Hearts and Spirits of our▪ Children, revealing himself in his great and Almighty Power among them, in and through which their Hearts were broken, their Spirits melted, and their Souls humbly-bowed before him, as the alone searcher of the Heart, and tryer of the Reins, making known to every one his state and condition, and bringing to Light the hidden things of Darkness, and Counsels of the Hearts, which brought Sorrow and Trouble upon them, and caused many of them to lament and cry out before the Lord. Oh! who can appear and stand before the great Judge of the Quick and Dead, and not Tremble at his Word, and not Howl and Cry as under the Sense of his Judgements, till they be brought forth unto Victory, and the Soul comes to feel Redemption from Sin and Iniquity, through the Blood of Jesus Christ!  
We are living Witnesses of this great and powerful Work of the Almighty God in and amongst the Children of our Family, by which he hath begun to work out their Salvation with Fear and Trembling, and to turn their Minds from Darkness to Light, and from the Power of Satan unto himself, that they may receive Forgiveness of Sins, and Inheritance amongst them which are sanctified by Faith in Christ Jesus, to the great comfort and satisfaction of our Souls, who was thus graciously pleased to appear and reveal himself in and among us, in his heavenly Power and Authority; for my Soul hath often been poured out before the Lord on their behalf, that he would be pleased to reach unto their Hearts in his heavenly quickening Power, that at length they might come to experience in themselves what hath-often been declared to them by others, that so in the sense of this Heart-breaking Power they might learn to fear him their Creator in the days of their Youth, and their Souls might be engaged and constrained to love and obey him.  
Now the Lord hath heard our Cry, and answered our Desire; he hath manifested his great Love, Favour and Mercy unto them and us, in the sense whereof my Soul did and doth rejoice, praising and glorifying his Name on their and our behalf; I can bear my witness in Truth, that the sense of the goodness of the Lord did rest upon my Spirit all the Night long, that after I awaked my Eyes were full of Tears, and my Soul full of holy Praises and  unto the Lord, because of his tender Mercies and great Love towards us, breathing to the Lord, that he in his heavenly blessed Power would carry on his great Work of Regeneration, that he hath begun in and upon our Spirits, and to Bless us daily more and more with all Spiritual Blessings in Christ Jesus, to the Praise and Glory of his Grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved, according to the Riches of his Grace, wherein he hath reached and abounded towards us, to declare unto our Souls that he has pardoned our Sins, and received us into his Fatherly Love and Care.  
What shall I say of the next following Meeting? I am not able to express the sweet refreshing Life, Virtue and Power of our heavenly Father arising in us with healing under his Wings. For as the Evening before, Fearfulness and Trembling came upon many, and Horror had overwhelmed them, so now at this time the sweet Love of a most tender and merciful Father, embracing their Spirits, did sweetly and livingly refresh and comfort their Souls; he healed the broken in Heart, and bound up their Wounds with the Balm of his heavenly Life, Virtue and Power, to the great comfort and satisfaction of our Souls, who partook of the Water of Life, that the Lord poured forth and made us to drink of; in and through which the Spirit of the Humble was quickened, and the Heart of the Contrite Ones revived.  
Now as the Lord in those two Meetings hath appeared and revealed himself in and to us in a most special, gracious and powerful manner, so his Sweet and Heart-melting Love and tender Mercies have hitherto followed us from Meeting to Meeting sensibly and livingly, Refreshing, Comforting, Strengthening and Confirming our Souls in his Love, Life, Virtue and Power, until this very Day, Praises, Praises, Praises, Glory and Honour be to our God, henceforth, forever and forever.  
Moreover, it is sealed to my Spirit by the holy Spirit of the Lord God, That We shall be Monuments of his Tender Mercies and Fatherly Love and Care (These are the Words which livingly arose in my Heart, as we were lately gathered together, and arise again as I am writing this Testimony for God) I say, We shall be Monuments of his tender Mercies and fatherly Love and Care, if we keep Low, Humble, Meek and Tender before him, he will instruct us, and teach us in the Way, which we shall go, and guide us with his Eyes, if we always Fear and Dread his holy powerful Name, which he hath revealed unto us, and poured forth in and among us, as a good and precious Ointment, which causes us to be glad and to rejoice in him, and to love him with all our Heart, Soul and Mind.  
In the sense of this great Love and tender Mercies of the Lord God, my Soul desires that I and every one of us, especially our dear Children, that have with us tasted of the good Word and Power of the World to come; by which our Souls have been quickened and livingly refreshed and comforted, may be always kept in a living sense of the Lovingkindness and Goodness of the Lord towards us, that so we may walk in Humility, Righteousness and Holiness before him, who hath reached to our Souls, and made us sensible of our inward State and Condition, and also of his Love, Grace and Mercy, that we may walk worthy of this his great Love, and Dread and Fear him in our Hearts, always having the Eyes of our Mind towards him, that in his Light, shining in our Souls. we may see even the least appearance of Evil, & waiting in it we may receive Power to be kept and preserved out of it, lest by entering in or consenting to it we should offend the Lord, and cause him to withdraw his sweet Love, and to hid the Light and Favour of his Countenance from us, which would bring Sorrow, Anguish and Destruction upon our Souls. Oh! let us walk worthy of this great Love, let every one of us be circumspect in our Lives and Conversations, that our Enemies, who Reproach and Blaspheme the holy Name and powerful Work of the Lord God, who hath graciously and gloriously appeared in and among us, may behold our Holy, Innocent, Upright Life and Conversation, and by it may be reached and convinced, that not the Devil, but the Lord God in his holy Life, Virtue, Power and Spirit hath appeared in and among us, by which he hath wrought a new Heart, and renewed a right and holy Spirit in us, the blessed Effect whereof is Holiness and Righteousness; which Work is not of Man, much less of the Devil, but of the Everlasting, Pure and Holy God, who in his Everlasting, Holy, Pure and Quickening Power hath begot us again into the heavenly Image of his dear Son Christ Jesus, which consists in Holiness, and Righteousness, and Truth, which the Devil is out of.  
Having therefore received Grace and Mercy, Life, Virtue and Power of God, let us cleanse ourselves from all Filthiness of the Flesh and Spirit, perfecting Holiness in the Fear of God, that we may show forth the heavenly Virtue and Power of him that hath called and translated us from Darkness into his marvellous Light, and turned from Satan's Power to his own Holy, Pure and Living Power, in which we are enabled to do good Works, new created of God in Christ Jesus unto good Works, that we may walk therein, in which if we are found walking & doing the Works of God, we shall never fall again; for so an entrance shall be ministered unto us abundantly, into the Everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the World, in which heavenly and divine Light, we daily receive Life, Virtue and Power, to escape the Corruption that is in the World through Lust, and to live Soberly, Righteously and Godly in this present World, to the Honour and Praise of him that hath called us to Glory and Virtue. For this is the very end of the heavenly, living, powerful Appearance of our God in the midst of us, that in and through the heavenly Power of his Son Christ Jesus revealed in us, in his divine, heavenly Light, Life and Spirit, he might redeem us from all Iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar People, zealous unto good Works; and that so out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings he may perfect Praises for his Name. Let us therefore always be found in Welldoing, that our Light may shine before men, that they may see our good Works, and glorify our Father which is in Heaven, who dwells in the Light, and is Light, in which, if we walk therein, we have fellowship with him, and one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son, which cleanses us from all Sin, is inwardly known and felt, and the true Fellowship with the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ comes to be witnessed, Righteousness and Holiness is shown forth in our Lives and Conversations, by which our heavenly Father comes to be praised and glorified. For herein is our heavenly Father of his Children glorified, when ●hey bring forth much Fruit of the Spirit, which is in all Goodness, and Righteousness, and Truth, always proving and doing what is acceptable unto the Lord; to whom be Glory and Honour, Praises and Hallelujah, Wisdom and Dominion from my Soul, in the living Sense of his great Love and tender Mercies, now, henceforth, forever and ever, Amen, Amen.  
The 5th of the 5th Month, 1679. Testified by me J. M.   

When I consider the Goodness, Mercy and Love of Almighty God to the Sons and Daughters of Men, so largely manifested, and suited to every Capacity and Condition to this end and purpose, that all, even from the least to the greatest, may be made sensible and living Monuments of his wonderful Work, which he hath been carrying on in all Ages less or more; but now in this latter Age of the World, is cutting the Work short in Righteousness; I see it clearly in the Light of the Lord; for which my Soul and Heart is overcome with Praises and Thanksgivings to him, who (I see) takes pleasure to dwell with the lowly in Heart, and that are willing to follow him whithersoever he in his Requirings may lead; Glory to his blessed Name forever.  
I say, the consideration of the Lord's wonderful Dealing with people, but more especially with the young Ones in our Family constrains me at this time to open my Mouth, in my small Measure, to declare of his Wonderful and Soul-ravishing Virtue, livingly witnessed to, in my measure, and also am an Eye & Earwitness; but which is more, I find it sealed in my Heart, that the Lord hath begun a blessed Work in and among the Younger sort, so that I can say in Truth, The Lord hath been here, the blessed Effects whereof do sufficiently declare it: Oh! how is my Soul overioy'd when I see that wild Nature, which bore rule in some, changed and brought under, so that I may justly say with the Prophet, and do witness the same, both in my own particular, as also I declare it on the behalf of the Children, That in some I see instead of the Tkorus comes up the Fir-tree, and instead of the Briar comes up the Myrtle-tree, and it is for the Lord a Name, for an Everlasting Sign that shall not be cut off. This hath been the End and Tendency of all the Upright-hearted Ones in their Labour and daily Exercise in this Family, who are more nearly concerned in them. And Oh! let all Hearts join with me at this time, and at all times, to Praise and Extol the God of all Goodness, who in his Love hath given us an Earnest of our Desires, which is more to us than Thousands of Silver or Gold. This the Lord hath been bringing to pass for several years passed by his Almighty Power and Outstretched Arm invisibly in the Hearts of the Young Ones, and now is more manifestly begun to show forth his Power, to the melting of the Rocky-hearted, and tendering of them into Tears, which was livingly witnessed to by many, who felt the Power of the Almighty to overshadow them, in a Wonderful and Soul-ravishing manner, at our fourth day's Meeting in Waltham-Abby; so that in the Sense of the goodness of the Lord tendered to my Soul, and the Souls of the Children there present, I was broken into Tears, having a deep sense of the Work of the Lord in my own particular to work in my Heart; as also I was overcome with Joy to feel the Lord's Power so wonderfully to work on the children's Minds, that they were melted and broken, to the Amazement of many there present, who never saw such a Day, nor witnessed the Lords Power to change them in their Minds: Oh! but what Joy? what Comfort? what Satisfaction unutterable was ministered to them, who waited upon the Lord for this, to see their Expectation answered in this Matter? what greater Joy could be afforded? surely none.  
I can truly say, it was more to me (I hope to my dying Day never to forget it) than all Visible or Created Comforts whatsoever. And so as the Lord did in a wonderful manner break forth in his Living Power upon the 4th day, being the 4th day of the 4th Month, so we have witnessed since, and do witness daily (Praises to our God for it) the same Arm of Power to work in our Family-Meetings; so that for some Nights we have gone to Bed with the Tears in our Eyes, being filled with the Love of so tender and merciful a Father, who thus had visited us in his love, and filled our Hearts with unexpressible Joy: And this I say more on the behalf of the Children, that some have been so livingly refreshed in our Evening-Meetings, that after they have been in Bed, their Sleep hath been taken from them for several hours together, and their Souls have been ●●lled with Praises and Thanks-givings more than could be uttered.  
This I was constrained to say for the Lord, that he is no hard Master, that he takes no pleasure in the Death of Sinners, but thus even in our day, as of Old, so fatherly, tenderly, and condescendingly he deals with People, even with the renderaged, as to accommodate himself in his appearance, to their Capacities, that they may feel him at work in their inward parts, who worketh all his children's work in them and for them, to the everlasting renown and praise of his worthy Name forever.  
Now let all be invited hereby to bow and submit their Necks to the Yoke of Christ, and let them be made willing to take it upon them; for truly it is light to them that are made willing in the day of his mighty Power. Further, let me entreat all who have been sharers with me in this late and continued Heart-breaking Power, to walk worthy of the same, that we together may pass the time of our sojourning here in fear, that in the end, when we shall lay down these Tabernacles, we may be admitted unto the full Fruition and complete Enjoyment of his favour, who hath called us, and that very early, whose favour is better than Life, whereof of late we have had a large Earnest, to the refreshing of our Souls, and the establishing of them in his fear, Everlasting Praises, Glory, and Renown, be sounded forth unto our bountiful Lord and Master Christ Jesus, World without End, Amen.  
A. PATERSONE.    

Here follow several Living Testimonies given forth by the SCHOLARS.  

Dear Father & Mother;  
MY Duty is remembered unto you both, with my dear Love to my Brother and Sisters, and unto the rest of the Family, hoping you are all in good Health, as I am at this present. I have sent you a Book, whereby you may know the State and Condition our Family is in at present, how wonderfully the Lord hath wrought amongst us; for as he hath begun a blessed Work in the Hearts of many in these latter Ages, to destroy and break down the Power of Darkness, and to set up his own Kingdom, so he will go on in his mighty Power and Strength, and will make his Arm bare for the bringing back of the Outcasts of Israel: For as he promised, That Righteousness shall cover the Earth as the Waters cover the Seas, so will he perform it in its appointed time, which now in some measure is begun. I am constrained to tell you what the Lord hath done for my Soul, how day after day he hath followed me with tender Mercy, willing me to turn from my Wickedness and vain Imaginations, and to obey and worship him the Creator of all things. I being troubled and vexed in my Conscience, by the grievous Terrors and Judgements of God, did often times lie Howling and Crying in my Bed for one or two Hours together, so that sometimes I could scarce sleep, but as if I had been Tormented in the very Depth of Hell, and forever cast out of the sight of God, never to receive Mercy from him; but the Lord, full of Mercy and Love, did by degrees help me, and delivered me out of the Claws of the Enemy; and so by waiting more and more upon him, I became yet more sensible of my State and Condition, and did pray unto the God of Heaven, That he would teach me his Way wherein I should walk before him in Singleness and Uprightness of Heart, and would always preserve me in his holy Fear. For as it is said, A bruised Reed will he not break, nor the smoking Flax will he not quench, until he send forth Judgement unto Victory; this have I witnessed in my particular. And again, They that wait upon the Lord renew their strength; this also hath the Lord made me a witness of: for sometimes sitting down in his Fear and Dread, with my Mind only stayed upon him, and waiting for his presence, he hath melted my Heart and bowed down my Spirit before him, by the blessed in-breaking and over-powerings of his tender Love, that so I could not but praise him and honour him, that in such a gracious and bountiful manner hath appeared unto me, and in abundance of Love manifested himself unto me, and I have gone to my rest in Peace with he hath brought me out of Egypt, wherein I was a Captive and a Bondslave under the Prince of the Power of Darkness, with a desire never to return back into Egypt; for it is said, They that go down into the Deep see the Wonders of God: So the Lord before whom I stand, knows I have a living Desire, that I may always be kept in his Fear, and walk worthy of the Love which he hath manifested unto me, and obey him, that so what I am, I may be to him, and always may be kept Low and Humble before him, giving him the Praise, Glory, Honour and Renown, unto whom it belongs, now, henceforth and forever, Amen. So I rest,  
Your Dutiful Son, James Claypoole. Waltham-Abby, the 5th Mon. 1679.   

Dear Mother;  
I Received a Letter, by which I understand it hath been the Will of the Lord God to take away my Father out of this World, for which I am very sorry; but since it hath been the Will of the Lord I am satisfied, for the Lord is merciful; O! his Mercies have been very great, and his Kindness unutterable to me, who can say so; who brought me to the place where he would have Mercy. O! where he would make himself manifest: O! in bringing me out of the Pit of Darkness; the Saying is fulfilled; I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not after me. So, dear Mother, I would desire and beg of thee, that thou wouldst send my Brother hither: O! Mother, the Lord is here; here he hath been pleased to make himself manifest: Therefore Mother, I would desire thee to send my Brother hither, lest he perish in his Sins and Iniquities: I am persuaded if he came hither, the Lord would have Mercy upon him, as he had upon me, who was an Abominable Sinner. So this is all at present, but my Master and Mistress remember their Love to thee; and I would desire thee to salute my Sister in my Name, with my Love to my Brother. I rest,  
Thy Obedient Son, Philip Dymond. Written in the 10th Month, 1679.   

OH! the Love of the Lord, who can express it? Oh! when the mighty God pours out of his Water of Life into our Souls, we are even constrained to sing Praises to his Name. Oh! how can I in any measure express the Love of the Most High, through his Son Jesus Christ. Oh! the Most High doth draw us with the Cords of his infinite Love. Oh! our God is a God of Mercy, a God of infinite Love: When I consider, when I was in Aegypt's Bondage and a Captive to the Devil, how many times would he call me out, but I knew not that it was he; yet at last he made his Arm bare to me, and drew me out of the Pit of Darkness with the Cords of his Love. And it is now my Testimony for the Lord, That he is coming to teach his People himself: And Woe to the Teachers that take Tithes, and are like AEgypt's Taskmasters, for the Wrath of the Lord is kindled against them, that he will neither leave them Root nor Branch; But let us fear the Lord and be Valiant for his Truth, and he will certainly bless us with his Blessings from above. So unto him do I commit my Soul, with the Souls of all his People, to whom be all Honour, Renown and Dominion, who is worthy of it, God blessed forever and evermore.  
From one that desires the Prosperity of his blessed Truth, and in some measure has felt the Operation of it. Philip Dymond. Written the 29th of the 11th Mon. 1679.   

Dear Father & Mother;  
MY Duty is remembered unto you, hoping you are in good Health, as I am at this present writing, Praises be to the God of Heaven and Earth, who of his Lovingkindness hath appeared unto me in the day when I went astray and rebelled against him, running apace to my own Destruction, in that day it pleased God to give me a sight of my Sin; so that I certainly know, that my Redeemer liveth; Praise, Honour and Glory be to the Lord God of Power, who hath so plentifully visited my Soul with his Love and Kindness. So thinking meet to acquaint you with my present Condition and Exercises, having no more at present, I recommend you to the Lord, the Father and Maker of all good things. I rest,  
Your Dutiful Son, John Weight. Written in the 9th Mon. 79.   

Dear Friend A. P.  
MY dear and true Love salutes thee, desiring thy : I have at this time writ a few Lines unto thee, which I hope may find thee in good Health. Forasmuch as when thou wast with us, the mighty Power of the Lord broke in amongst us, and tendered our Hearts, so also it hath continued with us unto this day, which I desire may never departed from us: I can really say, The preserving Hand of the Lord is time after time witnessed to keep us and preserve us; and his intent is to do our Souls good, so that in him may be our Peace and Salvation; for sometimes waiting upon him, in his blessed Light for his appearance, he doth so lovingly and fatherly appear, that he overcometh our Souls, so that we cannot but Praise and Glorify him, that so graciously should visit us in his Love; as he said, In the Day of my Power, my People shall be a willing People: And even at the writing of these Lines he hath broken my Heart before him: O! how is the Lord found of them that seek after him? How beautiful is he in his Arisings? How doth he fill them that hunger and thirst after him? Now are the days of Comfort come, even now are the days of Rejoicing and being Glad in the Lord approaching unto our Souls; for he that wounded us, hath in some measure healed us; he that made our Hearts sad, hath now caused us to rejoice in him the Creator of Heaven and Earth; for who were we or our Father's Houses, that the Lord should have respect unto us! but in his Mercy hath he done it; therefore it is my Desire, that we may all be faithful unto the Lord in that he hath committed unto us, so shall we have more. Much might be written in the Openings of the Lord, but this is sufficient, as I think, to acquaint thee how it goes with us. Farewell, and be saluted  
From thy dear Friend, James Claypoole, Junior. Waltham-Abby, the 19th of 10th Month, 1679.   

WHen in the Fear of God I consider the wonderful Care that he hath of the Children of men, and how he strives with them by his Spirit to work out their Deliverance, and that both in Old and Young, my Heart is melted within me; for in the Consideration of these things he hath often exercised me, even in the Consideration of his Kindness towards the Children of Men, even towards those who are but of young and tender Years: O! when I consider how plentifully he hath poured forth of his Spirit in and among Children, and how my Soul, with many others, hath been overcome by the living Sense of the Holy and Heavenly, Living and Eternal Power of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth, that hath appeared amongst us, to the comforting of our Souls, and how his heavenly. Presence hath and doth still follow us from time to time in our Assemblies, to our great Joy, I cannot but thank the Lord and praise his holy Name, for his care that he hath had over me, in bringing me amongst them to be made a Traveller with them in that heavenly Truth which he revealeth unto us time after time, in and through his Son Christ Jesus.  
For although I had some sense of the Power of God before, and was really convinced in my Mind, that the Way wherein I have been brought up was the Way to Eternal Life to those who were Possessors of that Truth which they did profess, and I did in some measure seek after the Possession of the same; yet when I came into this Family, and amongst those Children, among whom God doth so wonderfully appear, I was made to confess before the Lord, that all that I had done was but very little in comparison of that wherein I saw others exercised; and under the sense of the same Power did I secretly cry unto the Lord, That I also might be made Partaker of that Power that did so fill their Hearts, and that he would forgive me my Sins, and blot out mine Iniquities, that I had hitherto committed; and that I might feel his Saving Arm to redeem me from the Bondage of Corruption, wherein I felt myself deeply entangled. Which Cry I do really know was of the Lords own begetting, because he hath answered it in some measure; and in his Love hath wonderfully appeared unto me, and refreshed my Soul many a time since the day that I came among these Children; and under the sense of that Love of God hath my Heart often been broken.  
O! how is my Soul tendered, when I think of the Lords Love to my Soul, and how he hath delivered me from the Snares of the Enemy, who hath often sought to captivate my Soul, and to hinder the motions of the Spirit of the Lord that would sometimes arise in me! for than was he busy to draw away my Mind from the Power of God, lest I should lay hold upon it, and thereby be delivered from him. Oh! when I consider these things, and how I have been made to cry in the bitterness of my Spirit, when no Mortal Eye could see, Who shall deliver me out of this Thraldom? how the Lord yearned towards me with Bowels of tender Compassion, whereby he made me sensible, That he had laid Help upon one that is Mighty, even upon his Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is come a Light into the World, that all might believe in him and have Eternal Life: And that if I would but give up to him he would Deliver me. Blessed be his Name forever. For by the Working of his holy Power hath he constrained me to give up unto him, and to cast myself down at his Feet, that so I might be saved by him: For even as he healed those of their outward Infirmities, in the days of his Flesh, who were cast down at his Feet, and who humbled themselves before him, so doth he arise in this Day, to those who are willing to be humbled before him, and to give up truly unto him, with Healing in his Wings, to heal their Back-slidings, and to cure their Infirmities; and it is those only who Humble themselves before him, and who are willing to be content with that Measure that he is pleased to bestow upon them, how little soever it be, that he doth Nourish, and that he doth Refresh, even as he did those two Women of Old, one whereof was willing to be content with the Crumbs that did fall from the Table, the other was willing to be content if she could but touch the Hem of his Garment: How was the Lord moved with Compassion towards them! and how did he Refresh them, and give them the Desire of their Hearts! and indeed so he doth to all those in this Day who despise not the Day of small things, but are willing to wait upon him in the least of his Appearances, although it be but as a Grain of Mustardseed, the lest of all Seeds; yet if it be given way unto, it will come to be great, and it will become a Teacher that cannot be removed into a Corner, but will always be with those both Day and Night to Reprove them for Sin and Evil, and to give them Victory over the same, that lay hold upon it; and by Virtue thereof they will even grow from strength to strength, until they become Perfect men in Christ Jesus, who said, Be ye therefore Perfect as your Father which is in Heaven is Perfect.

WHen I consider how Merciful, Loving and Kind the Lord hath been unto us, and how he doth graciously appear, and time after time manifest his Love amongst us, my Heart is filled with Praises, and my Soul doth magnify his Power and rejoice in God my Saviour; For I do truly believe, that the cause of my coming to this place was of the Lord; for as before I was Wicked and Disobedient unto God, running hither and thither seeking rest for my Soul, but could find none: But Praises be to God forever, he did at last hear my Cry and answer the desire of my Heart, and did pluck me as a Brand plucked out of the Fire, and set my Feet upon a Rock, where he did make known unto me the thing which had been long hidden from me, and did also show me the Darkness and Obscurity which I was plunged into; such was the Mercy of God, which I hope I shall never forget unto my dying Day, and I can truly say, that the Lord doth still abide with us, and doth time after time appear unto us, healing the Wound which before he had caused; for we do certainly know that he is both able to wound and also to heal.  
Oh! I cannot but admire the Lovingkindness of God, that he should so appear and abide as he doth; but it is true as it is said, With those that are meek and lowly, and of a contrite Heart will God abide, and with such is he well-pleased; for in my measure I can witness, that God is a God of Love and of Longsufferance, and desires not the Death of a Sinner, but would rather that he should live (for I have known it so) therefore is my Mouth opened at this time to the Praise of God, and that the Ages to come may know of the Wondrous Works of the Lord even amongst Children, and those that are but young in Years, for he indeed hath looked upon us with an Eye of Pity and Compassion, and it hath pleased him to appear unto us, and to show us the gross Errors and Pollutions which we have been addicted to: Therefore in the sense of the Mercy and Lovingkindness of God my Soul is even overcome and doth magnify and praise his Name, desiring that both I and all those whom he hath in any wise made sensible of their States and Conditions, may be kept in his fear and dread unto the end of our days, that so in the End we may lay down our Heads in Peace, and enjoy his presence for evermore.  
And also, that while we live, we may live to his Praise, and be kept humble and low, that so in the consideration of his Love we may be even constrained to love him again; for what were we or our Father's House that he should appear unto us, who have been so Wicked and Disobedient unto him: Oh! this is great Love indeed, that for all this the Lord should be so merciful, for he hath opened our Eyes, that we can clearly see and discern that the end of the Lord in this matter is to do us good, and that we may perfect his Praise, as it is said, Out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings will I perfect Praise. Therefore we cannot but praise him, who is worthy of all Praise, henceforth forever and forever more, Amen.

To his quondam Schoolmaster.  
Loving Master;  
MY Love salutes thee with the rest of thy Household, remembering my Schoolfellows and Landlords, hoping that you are all in good Health as I am at this present writing, by the Grace of God, who is the preserver of all mankind, and by whom we live and breath, and have our being: O! when I remember at any time thee or my Schoolfellows, I am moved with compassion unto you because of my former Acquaintance, and because of the Love which I bear unto you; O! how am I cast down when I think of things which were done there with thee in my time! O! when the Lord gave me a sight of the Vanities thereof, O how Naked I saw myself in the sight of the Lord! for even I was as Naked as Adam when he had eaten of the forbidden Fruit; yea, when the Lord called unto me, saying, Where art thou? I was afraid, and was ready to hid my Face; but if I had called never so often to the Hills and Mountains to hid me, still I should have been as Naked as ever I was: and he that cannot first witness these things with me, can never witness a new Birth; and if he cannot witness a new Birth, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; for Paul said while he was upon Earth, Flesh and Blood cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. O! when I remember the Pride of the Pharisee, he who is counted the Shepherd of the Town, when as I once went down the Town, and did not put off my Hat to him, how he complained unto thee: O! but he never considered when he was Drunk himself, and when he lay in Babylon even to the Day and Hour he was to feed his Sheep: O that thou mightest but think upon these things with consideration, then wouldst thou not wink at these things any longer. And so no more, but thy  
Loving Friend, Ralph Fretwell. Waltham-Abby, the 19th of the 11th Month, 1679.   

My beloved Brother;  
MY dear Love, in the Unchangeable Truth of the Lord our God (wherewith my Heart at this time is overcome) saluteth thee; so that in the feelling Sense of the Heart-ravishing Love of a  Father, witnessed towards my Soul, am I constrained at this time to write a few Lines unto thee, showing thee how wonderfully, and how powerfully the Lord hath made bare his Arm of Eternal Salvation, and hath stretched it forth towards our Souls in this Place; in the Sense of which my Heart at this time is broken, so that I cannot forbear, but must needs acquaint thee with that which I have seen with mine Eyes and heard with mine Ears, and my Hands have handled of the good Word of Life, since I came into this Family. Oh! my Mouth cannot speak these things which I have livingly felt and experienced in mine own particular, neither can I express those things wherein I have seen others exercised, since I came amongst them: for I have felt the Almighty and Powerful God at work in me, to the rooting out, in some measure, of that Spirit of the crooked Serpent that hath so long possessed the House; but now have I felt the Cleansing Power and Purifying Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is come as a Refiner with Fire, and as a Fuller with Soap (and who hath determined, That he will have a Pure and Undefiled People to Worship him) to purify and to cleanse my Soul, in some measure, from the Pollutions of Sin and Iniquity.  
Oh, my Brother! my Soul cannot express the wonderful Lovingkindness of the Lord God Almighty, which he hath handed forth unto me, in and through his beloved Son, who is come indeed that his Children might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly: Oh! the flow forth of his heavenly Life is felt in this Day to refresh the Hearts of those that wait upon him, and his heavenly Peace is witnessed to comfort their Souls, which is more than Thousands of Gold and Silver; and indeed, as one said, A Day in his Court is better than a Thousand elsewhere.  
Oh! this is the Day of glad Tidings indeed unto a Remnant, whom he hath reached unto by the Operation of his blessed Power, which worketh wonderfully in the Hearts of his little Ones, and of his tender hearted Babes, whom he tendereth before him, whereby they come to witness the Times of Refreshment and of sweet Consolation to run down their Souls as a place of broad Rivers. Oh! my Soul at this time is sensible of his Consolating and Refreshing Presence, whereby he hath often comforted me (to his Praise I can say it) and I know assuredly, that he withholds nothing that tends to the good of those that love him and that delight to run the Way of his Commandments, and to follow him in the Regeneration, but he enables them and endews them more and more with Power from on High, and he renews their Strength from time to time; so that indeed they can run the Race that he hath set before them, and not be weary, and walk in his Heavenly Way and not faint.  
Oh! my Soul is so filled, at this time, with the pure Life of Jesus, that I cannot but admire his Holiness, who so filleth the Hearts of his Children with heavenly Praises and melodious Songs, whereby he makes them to praise and magnify his Name in the Land of the Living. Oh! how can those who are sensible of this his blessed Power, and of the Dawnings of his heavenly Day upon their Hearts and Souls, but forever praise and magnify his Name for his blessed Appearance, and for the Revelation of his holy Power, whereby he hath turned their Hoarts from their former Lovers, and from their former Idols, unto the Love of him and of his Truth, who is over all, worthy to be loved and waited upon. So having no more at present, I do remain  
Thy Loving Brother, D. Barclay.    

A Testimony of one of the Teachers.  

BLessed be the Name of the Lord our God forever and evermore, who in this Day hath made his People sensible of his Redeeming Arm of Power, stretched forth for their Deliverance out of the Bondage and Slavery of Satan, to serve him in the Liberty of his own holy and blessed Spirit, and to praise his Name in the Land of the Living, who is their God and their King, their Captain and their Leader, who goeth out and in before his Children, his Sheep, his Babes, his little Ones; whose Hearts he hath tendered by his heavenly Power, and thereby he doth over shadow them from time to time, and makes them to grow in the sense of his Love and Goodness to their Souls: Thus the Lords Love is extended in this his heavenly Day unto many, and the Arm of his Eternal Power is revealed in many for their Deliverance, whereby they are come to know a blessed Change wrought upon their Hearts; and as their Minds are stayed upon him, they do always feel him near unto them; and he is never wanting to administer Comfort and sweet Consolation unto them, when they do truly and in Uprightness of Heart wait upon him: O! the flow forth of his fatherly Love and heavenly Everlasting virtuous Life that my Soul, with the Souls of others, hath been many time sensible of in our Family Meetings in this place; And I can truly say, I have been made to admire the Love of God in my Heart, when I have been sensible how he hath condescended in reaching unto the Capacity of several of the Children, whom I have really felt to be reached and blessedly tendered by the Power of an Endless Life: Yea, and the Lords Glory hath shined, and doth many times shine amongst us, so that sometimes it hath been in my Heart, That the Lord hath begun to build up his Zion among us, as to the Educating of Children: for we can say to his Praise and Everlasting Glory, That he hath done more in a short time for some Children here, than ever any Teacher could be able to do. Glory be to his Name, who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and of their Seed; for he is known to be the God of his People in this Day (who are in the Faith of Abraham) and of their Children also, as they walk in his heavenly Way which he hath again revealed in this his glorious holy Day: O! the riches of his Love and the infinitness of his Kindness towards all the Sons of men; but more especially towards them whom he hath gathered into the knowledge of his ever-blessed Truth, and in whom he hath revealed his Son, who are his Witnesses on the Earth, whom he hath loved with a singular Love in his Son Christ Jesus, and given him unto them to be their Leader and Commander; and not only so, but he hath begun to visit many of their Children in their Young and Tender Years, which cannot but be unspeakable Joy unto all Upright-hearted Parents, to see and feel their Children visited with the same holy Arm of Power, wherewith they were visited when they were gone far astray from the Lord; which to feel in themselves is now their chiefest Joy: How much more than will their joy abound to fallen it operate in their Children while they are Young and Tender!  
And now for the Encouragement of all who rejoice to hear of the Prosperity of God's Eternal Truth; I do testify for the Lord, and to the Praise of his great Name, That the Lord our God hath not withdrawn the Sense of his Power and Heavenly Presence, (as to the General) from us, in this Family, but at all times many of us are sensible, as we are retired in our Minds, that the Lords Love is towards us; and we do always feel his Power in our Meetings, whereby our Souls are refreshed, and we are thereby confirmed from time to time, and in the Faith and Belief of the Prosperity of the Lords Work which he hath begun amongst us: For notwithstanding that the Enemy may work at times in some of the Children, to draw their Minds into Wildness and Disorder, yet the Lords Power is over all, and that contrary Spirit is much chained and kept down by the Revelation of God's Heavenly Power, whereby a Remnant are kept in a blessed Measure, since the first time that they were thoroughly reached thereby, and do grow in Weightiness daily, and in the experience of the work of Truth in their Hearts, which is indeed great cause of joy unto all those (of the Lords People) who are concerned in them.  
And so that the Lord God of Heaven and Earth may carry on this his Glorious Work among the Children and Offspring of his People, not only in this Nation, but in all Nations and Islands where he hath gathered them, is the Desire and earnest Breathing of my Soul.

OH! my Dear Beloved Friends, when I was alone, and my Mind exercised in the Truth, this Cry came thorough me, That the Lord hath heard our Cries, and hath bottled up our Tears, and hath answered our Desires in a Blessing upon the Children, and hath broken the Wills of many, that they fear before him; and now is he fulfilling his Promise, and that blessed Saying; That Righteousness shall Cover the Earth as Waters the Seas; that is, all over; for verily it cannot be said, all over, except Young as well as Old come to know the Lord. And this is my Testimony, That the Time is at hand; for a blessed Day have we seen of the Lords pouring forth of his Spirit upon Young and Tender Children, that they may know him and fear before him. And I can say of a Truth, That we have of our Family, Children that truly fear the Lord, and do truly hunger after Righteousness.  
O! how doth the Lord appear to us, in our Family Meetings, that we are overcome with his wonderful Presence, and our children's Hearts broken before him, that they cannot contain from Praising his holy Name: His Glory doth so arise upon us, that our Meetings are indeed to Admiration: The Lord doth so follow us from Day to Day, and from Meeting to Meeting, as our dear Friends can witness with us; holy Praises saith my Soul, be to our God forever. Do we not read in the Scriptures of Truth, That Children in the days of Old have Blasphemed the Name of the Lord, & Scoffed at his People and Servants, and were Cursed forever? But now, blessed be his Name, he is appearing in his Love and Mercy unto Children, that he may Bless them forever.  
Ah! what the Lord hath done a few Months and Weeks past, that the like hath scarce been heard of in many Ages or Generations amongst Children: My Soul desires, that the Sense of it may ever remain amongst us, for we can never be able to speak it forth▪ how Unutterable indeed are his Mercies unto us, and his Ways past finding out▪ Oh! the Sense of this overcomes me, that all within me is constrained to praise the Lord, and magnify his holy Name, for he is Worthy, Worthy, Worthy, saith my Soul. O! how hath he broken in amongst us in our Meetings like a mighty Man of War, that nothing hath been able to stand against him, but we have fallen down before him, with Praises and sweet Melody in our Mouths, that sometimes we could scarce know how to departed to go to our Natural Rest: And when we have been in our Beds, sometimes our Eyes could take no Rest for several Hours, we have so admired the Lord's do with us.  
The Lord hath Determined, That this His Blessed Work in this His Day shall be a Precedent to the Ends of the Earth, that the Generations to come may Magnify his Holy Name, who lives forevermore.
