This is to all dear FRIENDS who keep faithful in their measures to the END.  
MY dear friends,  
the Father is well pleased in him who is meek, and lowly in the heart, and in obedience unto him through the leadings of his spirit of power, in which the Father's love is manifest, which leads in the low ground, where the safe way of everlasting peace is known, where all things are quiet, and still, where the small still voice is heard, whereby the dead comes to live in the powerful life, of the father's love, which compasseth about the seed as a Wall of everlasting defence, whereby there is boldness and courage comes in, to jacob the worm, that it's then able to stand, in that everlasting strength, which is made perfect in weakness, and to the weak is only to be known, that the weak than may say I am strong, feeling strength ministered forth from that which is begotten of the Father, which never was comprehended by the earthly wisdom, which is all scattered as the smoke before the wind, when he ariseth that was laid in the earth, who hath long been as a servant, and is now to be served, that he may be Lord over all, who is a man of sorrows, and leads through the suffering state, that by the obedience of faith, through the power of the Cross which crucifies, and brings to the death that which is to die, that the vail may be rend and the way into the holiest of all made manifest, and that received in the new ground, which abideth for ever, even that which comforteth the weary soul, and satisfieth the longing spirit, and replenisheth the dry and barren land, with the Rivers of the valley and the springs of the desert, that the meek in the earth may rejoice for ever, and through the earth may grow as a Lily in Summer.  
For plainly its the poor thing that receives the Gospel, and the meek of the earth that shall inherit substance, and it is the thing that is low that will last for ever, and the seed of the shepherd that shall be set on the throne, and he that is low shall never fall, neither shall his footsteps at all be moved, he leads the creature in the father's fear, and guideth the tongue in wisdom, and its him alone that all are to wait for, to receive and continue in, even him that is acquainted with grief, who never openeth his mouth in perverseness, but speaks life in wisdom through the power of the father's love, which overpowers the soul as an overflowing river of oil, which makes all well, and heals the grieved spirit, which none ever comes to find, but such who alone walks with him who humbled himself to the death of the Cross, and became as a servant, though he was Lord over all, in him there is safety for he is the Rock, and the sure hiding place, even out of the sight of the world, and from the tempters power, for the Devil hath nothing in him who is meek and low, in whose mouth there is found no guile, and this is he that hath been long set at naught, whose tenders of love constraineth obedience to himself because of the beauty that is in him, which from them is hid, over whom the vailis, through which they cannot see the comeliness of his love.  
I rest, in the Fathers will your Soul's friend, H. S.   

Friends  
the Lord is with us, and the God of Heaven is on our sides, and the Lord is our defence, who hath spoken life and peace to my soul, behold he will be with us for ever, and the holy Arm of his precious dreadful strength shall no Nation under Heaven prevail against; dwell all in the power of God, and the blessing of the God of Heaven will be upon you all for ever.   

THe spirit of the Lord came upon Saul and he then Prophesied, but after, for his disobedience he lost the Kingdom, and was afraid of the shame before the people, and the kingdom is rend from such who disobey the Lord, though they were among the Prophets like Saul, who afterwards went to the Witch: And the witchcraft is near to all such as stand not in the counsel of God, to cause the people to hear his word, and not their own, whose word feeds not the flesh above the seed, but is as a hammer to break the Rocks in pieces, and it kills and makes alive, and opens a way through the earth, for the prisoner of hope to come forth.  
And the spirit came upon Balam, who was reproved by the dumb thing, that he was exalted above, and resisted, and he durst not go beyond the word of the Lord, he durst not go beyond that which was quick and powerful in the heart, nor overreach it, to do more or less, for the gaining of half a kingdom in the earthly. And such as exceed Balam therein, May expect to be cut down also by the true seed as he was, and so to fall among the rest of the enemies of the Israel of God, who is dreadful in power.  
And the spirit came upon jehu, and also upon jephthah, who after offered his own daughter for a sacrifice, and the spirit came upon Samson, and yet he not standing in wisdom, was betrayed of his strength by a daughter of the Philistines, who also afterwards put out his eyes: And so the spirit may come up in some, and yet afterwards they lose that with which they should see, and some there are that use their tongues as in the name of the Lord, upon whom the spirit never came, (mark that.)  
And after Saul had lost the spirit of the Lord that came upon him, he prophesied by an evil spirit which troubled him, that he could not be quiet, but troubled in himself, and yet prophesy to others with fearfulness, lest another should come to rule over him and his kingdom, who afterward destroyed himself.  
And Cayphas the High Priest prophesied, and he spoke not of himself, and yet he was an enemy to Christ the power of God, and such as are got up high, like high Priests, above the measure of the man of sorrows, speak from self, or flesh, and are in that, by which he that is the light doth suffer, and the power is resisted, and the seed in others oppressed, and they not brought to the living Minister within the vail, that abides a Priest for ever, but are in that which will die, and many might be named, upon whom the spirit came. And judas also had obtained part of the Ministry.  
But now consider, the spirit rested, and resteth upon the branch of the root, even the seed itself, for the spirit came upon many, but it rested, and rested upon the seed only, which is but one, even the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and counsel and might, and knowledge, and of the fear of the Lord, in the fear of the Lord which is a fountain of life, which life all are to feel, and not be kept from, by words without it, but to feel that which comes from it and savour that: That jacobs' Tent all may know, which who so dwells in is blest, against whom there is no enchantment, and where the Witchcraft cannot enter, which leads from the strait and narrow way, to the spirit and life, into a liberty to that which is fleshly, where that is kept alive, which the word in the heart, as a hammer and a sword, should have broken and cut down, for Paul was grieved with such, who at first could almost have plucked out their own eyes for him, and after sought occasion against him, and themselves to be made perfect in the flesh, and all flesh as grass is to be cut down with the sword of the Lamb, and where the flesh is above, the spirit suffers by it, and the vail is thickened, which keeps from the unity and out of the life and power of God.  
H. S.   

THe Lord God of Heaven preserve all every where in the love, long-suffering, forbearance, meekness, and gentleness, out of the strife or selfseeking: For surely woe will come upon that spirit where ever the Lord finds it, and even the Lord knoweth the desires of my heart in true simplicity hath been, that his righteous judgements might pass betimes upon every appearance thereof in myself, and all others, & I believe that God will never prosper it in any, therefore my exhortation in the everlasting love of the God of heaven is. That you all every where live in true brotherly love, and remember josephs' advice to his brethren, that they fall not out by the way: The heavenly God of power, and life and virtue, keep ye out of all this, in the life of wisdom and meekness, where rife shall never inhabit, nor death enter within the walls of Zion, in which their dwelling is, who keep themselves undefiled, and remains in the fear of God, to whom I commit you all, and to the power of the word of his saving grace, praying to the Lord for you that evermore you may continue in the love of Christ.  
Your friend and brother, Hum. Smith.  
The END.
