An Epistle of Love, and of Consolation unto Israel, from the pouring forth of the Spirit, and holy Anointing of the Father, sent in Bowels of tender Love, unto the Chosen and Elect Seed of Life, etc.  

A Trumpet sounded out of the Holy City, proclaiming the day of Salvation, and of Zions Redemption; and this is to go abroad, as sent of the Father, as the greetings of Love and Life, unto his own Begotten, unto whom the free streams of the pure eternal Fountain floweth, from the fullness of the Treasures of God's Wisdom, which abundantly is multiplied and increased in the habitations of the Faithful; yea, the City of the living God, new Jerusalem is come down from above, the blessed Habitation, in which floweth the everlasting streams of Love and Consolation; the Kingdom of Glory is revealed, the Son of Righteousness is risen in his Beauty, in his transparent Brightness, the Glory of all Nations is come; and this is the Day, wherein the Lord God is binding up his Jewels, in the bond of Life, in the tye of his own Spirit; and the Lamb is come to Reign of his Temple, and blessed are all who are waiting for him, and for his glorious Appearance, who is coming with Power and with great Glory, to Reign in his eternal Majesty; yea, the Son of Peace and of Consolation is come, the express Image of the Father's Glory, the very Substance of all things, the end of the Prophets, the ministration of Life, which all are to feel within the holy Mountain of God; where the Table is spread, where the Feast of fat things is prepared, where jacob's Well is set open, where the streams of the pure Fountain freely flow in the still Habitation. Oh, the virtue of the Life of the Love of God feel the Breast of everlasting Consolation, draw, drink abundantly; there is no end of this pure River, whose Waters are as clear as Crystal; and from the Throne of the most Holiest, the waters slow plentifully; in the glorious dwelling-place, in the Habitation of Israel's God, within the Tents of Jacob, where the harmony of Angels is heard, where the sound of the holy One is uttered forth; in the midst of the Temple of God, in the Heaven of Heavens, where the Turtle-Doves do fly from the Throne of his Glory, whose Majesty and Brightness hath ravished my heart.  
And the Lord God hath spoken, and therefore I will speak, for God hath unloosed my tongue, to speak to the praise of his Name, who is the great and wonderful Counsellor, the mighty God of Israel, the holy One, in the midst of the Tents of Jacob, where Glory and Peace possesseth her dwelling places, the Kingdom that is without end: God hath revealed the Kingdom, which consisteth in Power and Life; so all are to come who believe in that Power which createth anew in Christ Jesus; that Power which reneweth into the Image and likeness of God, as in the beginning; for God planted his Lily in his own Paradise, which Lily sometimes grew among the Thorns; so all are to feel the good Husbandman, to pluck up the Thorns, that so the Lily may grow and increase, and overspread the earth; and this Lily God will  with a more glorious Garment, with a more beautiful Raiment, than Solomon the Wise King was clothed with; the Robe of Honour, the Garment of Grace, God will put on upon his own Seed the Plant of his renown, and this shall overspread the earth; where briers and brambles have grown, there shall the Lily grow, and there shall the voice of the Turtle sing; and the Winter is passing away, and the Summer is well nigh come, wherein the Lily gins to appear in the field of pleasure, after the frosty Winter, after the dark howling Night; for out of the Wilderness God is leading Israel by the hand, into the good Land, through the Red Sea, in the narrow Way, in the strait Path, where the Holy tread and walk, and are not weary, for the sound of the voice of the glorious God is heard, whole voice giveth Life; and now is the last Trumpet sounded, which hath raised the Dead, which hath opened the Graves, and the dissolving Power of the Lord God, is dissolving Hell and Death; so that Power which raiseth the Dead to Life, all are to press after, to be raised thereby unto the Resurrection of Life; so the breathing Power, the inlivening quickening Spirit of the second Adam, all are to wait in, to hear the voice of the Shepherd of Israel, whose voice the Living come to hear, who are raised to Life thereby: And this is the day of the Lord God, wherein he hath appeared in everlasting and eternal glorious Brightness, who is breaking open the depths of the Mysteries of his own Kingdom, which Mysteries are revealed in the hearts of the Faithful, who know the Key of David, which shuts and opens, which reveals and seals; and blessed are all who dwell in the Life, of the Holy Lamb, such know the sweet Consolation, such know the pure Fountain of Life, which is Eternal Love, such are Born of Love; and this is the Birth which is brought forth through the Travel, through Death, through the Tribulation; the Life of the Lamb of God is raised, which Life must Reign, for God is advancing his chosen Seed, God is establishing it on the Throne of David, in the Ark of his most holy Treasure, where his secret walkings are known; and the Word of the Lord God is a burning and a shining Light, which Light is the Leader of Israel, the Star of Jacob, which goeth before the Followers of the Lamb, and this is Israel's Leader, the Light, the Truth, the Life: who are led by it into all Truth, such know the Promise of the Father fulfilled in them, such know the pouring forth of the Spirit, the holy Anointing; such are they who are taught of the Lord, who are established in the Kingdom of God, who know the windows of Heaven opened, and the Rain descending, who know the Prophecies of the Spirit of Life; such are come to the everlasting Prophet, the High Priest of God, the Wise Counsellor, the King of all Nations, who ruleth all things by the Word of his Authority, who rebuketh the Waters, and turneth the Waves backward; and blessed are all, who know him in the Vessel, who ariseth to rebuke the Waves, when the Waters swell and are troubled, then hath his voice spoken Peace; and this is known in the, Way to Life, and this many must come to know, before they enter into the Land of Rest, before they enter into the Kingdom of God, which I say is come unto; they who have waited, who have believed in the Light, such receive the Life, who in the Light wait, in the silence, in the still Habitation, such come to hear the voice of their Beloved, such come to be clothed with the Righteousness of God: but first all must know the putting off, the stripping, the purifying, the dying, and so the change is wrought by the unchangeable Word, by which all things are made anew, and a new Life is brought forth; and this is the very substance of all Profession, to know the Kingdom of God revealed, and to know the Son of God to bear Rule in the heart, who is come to Reign, and to cast out the unclean Spirits; so all must come to know the effectual working of the Divine Power of Life, which worketh in the Love, which Love destroys death, which breaketh the cords thereof; and all who come to know the working of the nature of Love, are brought into the nature of its Life, Likeness, and Image; so here where the work of God goeth on, there is the rejoicing known, because of the Glory which shineth in from Gods most holy Providence, where the streams of his Life flow continually this maketh all to rejoice and to sing for joy of heart, for the Bridegroom is come, the Virgins have met him, and the Damosels dance at the glory of his Brightness, who heareth the sound of the Harp of David, where the new Songs are heard, where the Turtle sings, where our Beloved rejoiceth, because of the smiles of the Father's lovely countenance, whose beautiful appearance exceedeth in Glory, whose Majesty reigneth, whose Kingdom is come, and a glorious sound is gone forth as a mighty shout; therefore let the Righteous rejoice, and let the Inhabitants of Jerusalem be glad, let the Heavens and the tops thereof shout, for a mighty King is in the midst, the Reign of the God of Israel is come; and therefore this was upon my heart, to sound forth the day of Zions Redemption: And this was the voice that run through me, that Zions Redemption draweth nigh, wherein her Converts shall sing for Joy of heart, for the ravishing Glory of God did overshadow me, and the Word of Eternal Life run through me, often saying, Publish the day of the Lord God, lift up thy voice like a Trumpet, as a mighty shout; and this is to go through this Nation, as it was given into me, for this very end, to send it with speed, as the everlasting Message of Life, as the greetings of Peace, by the Word of Salvation: And the Truth of the Lord I must spread, for the Lord God hath lighted my Candle, and it must not be hid; and thus saith the Spirit of Truth, Publish the day of the Lord God; and in the free Authority of the Spirit of Life, I send this Message of Truth by the streams of Love, from the Son of Love and of Consolation, whose day is come, whose Name shall sound through the Nations, and many shall be gathered to walk in the Light of Zion, who shall have a Habitation in the Tents of Jacob, in Jerusalem; the City of the Faithful, and Beloved of God; for many shall be gathered in this glorious day, for God is setting of the Seed of Zion free: And the Freeborn Children shall inherit the Land of Promise, the Seed of Abraham, who are born of the Birth of God, who are Heirs of the Kingdom and Crown of Life: These are they who are of the number of God, who are the Lamb's Army, who follow him wheresoever he goeth; for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah hath roared with a voice of Thunder, sounding forth the day of the Lord God, unto the Inhabitants of the Earth, that they may hasten into the Ark of God, before the Flood cometh; for verily I do declare what I have seen: A Flood shall come suddenly, and blessed are all who prepare into the intired Life; who are found in that day to be of the number of God, who are marked with the Lambs Mark, who are sealed with the Seal of Life: And in the Authority of the Divine Majesty of the holy Wise God, I do declare the day of the Lord which is coming, which is glorious to the Righteous, but the day which is torrible to the unrighteous; and unutterable is the Glory of the day of the Lord, that shall shine in the Habitations, and in the Tents of Israel; for Christ our Life is risen, and arising and appearing in Glory, and we shall appear in Glory with him, and he will glorify his with the same Glory that he had with the Father, before the world was yea, Crowns of Light, Robes of Righteousness, Garments of glorious Praise, are prepared for the Faithful, for the Chosen, who are true Israclites, who are Plants growing in the Paradise of God, who are born of the Seed of the Birth of Life; such shall inherit the Kingdom of everlasting Glory, such shall triumph in Heaven, having the Songs of praises in their mouths, singing with Grace in their hearts, before the Throne of the most Holy, Glorious, Wise God, who is exalting his Name in the Earth, who is establishing his Throne on the tops of the Mountains: on the Throne of David shall the Prince of Life Reign; the Spirit of Life hath filled me with his Love, to declare to you the glorious day of the Lord God, whose Light did shine about me, whose Glory, whose Pretence, whole Life hath filled me, the virtue of the Power seel, the increase of his Love, the ravishing Beauty of the Lord God hath overshadowed the Earth, the Springs of the holy Fountain runneth in the Valleys low, where the praises of God are sounded forth unto his most holy Majesty, in the amiable Habitation in the Tents of the glory of God, where the Sun shineth in his Beauty, where the Lily of the Life springs up out of the holy Root, the Righteous Branch of David, the Kingdom is come, and the new Songs are known, with praises sounded forth unto the holy One: And in the deep his voice is very sweet, unto the Hungry is Bread, both Life and Meat. Oh! the depth of Love, which death it shall destroy, for the Life is come, which leads the narrow Way; And therefore unto All, I say come away, and prepare unto the glorious day, that into the Fountain of Life, you all may come and drink, and in Marriage to the Lamb, you may both join and link: For the Table is both fully spread, the Life is come, which raiseth from the dead; And he is risen, the Nations have to healed; Who in this day his Fountain hath unsealed. And Zions Beauty hath now ravished me, therefore I do sound forth the glorious Day, that all may hear the sound thereof, that they may be gathered that are yet afar off, into the Sheepfold, where Christ is the Shepherd, who feedeth his with ever living Bread, who hath raised many again from the dead, to spread and to publish his most glorious Name, and to sound forth the Beauty of his fame, that many may be gathered, in this the glorious Day, for the voice hath sounded, which saith, come away; for the life of the Lamb is revealed in great Power, in Majesty and Glory, and the singing of Birds is heard, with the voice of the Turtle, is heard within, in this the time of Spring, wherein Summer hath appeared, and now the voice of the Wellbeloved is heard; and unto my Beloved, unto Thee, I sweetly sing, as the Turtle in the time of Spring; who for joy that she hath found her Mate, what from thy love shall me separate? my foul doth swim within the Sea of love, as doth the fishes in the water move; and thereby doth live, for it is their life, so to me thou art my joy, & my delight, who art most faithful and most true, holy and wise, who never forsakes thine. And my friends, my love floweth freely unto you, in God most holy, most faithful, and most true; and in the Life you may my love feel, which burns from God in virtue and in zeal; which love to you I do this day sound, which in Echoes sweet, God's glory and renown, I do send forth and declare, being fuller than my life can bear, of the waters out of jacob's Well, whose waters sweet in virtue doth excel; which as honey out of the Rock doth flow, and as Rain into the Sea doth go, and God's voice as the Thunder doth fly, is descended forth as lightning from the Sky; that the sound of it the Nations may all hear, that before the mighty God they may both dread and fear: And this is the day wherein the Lord is come, to establish the Kingdom of his glorious Son; who must Reign over all as Head, even he whom God hath raised from the dead; who under the earth hath been slain, but now in Glory is revealed again; who will vengeance take on all, who would not that he should Reign; such in the Lake he will throw, with sorrow and with woe: Yea, the day is come, that God most true, will make a separation amongst the Nations, and they that shall be saved, shall walk in the Light of Zion, and in the Beauty and Glory of Jerusalem, the Saints of the most High shall dwell under the shadow of his Love, in the glourious Brightness, in the excellency of his Beauty; for the mighty Day is come, wherein over all God will exalt & glorify his Son, whose Kingdom & Power is made known, whom God will set again on his most holy Throne; and over all, as King he shall Reign, & before him his Enemies shall be slain; for the King of all Nations is come, therefore let all be subject to the Son. And you Babes of the Morning, who are born of the day of God, this is sent to you all, as the Message of his Love and Life; whose Springs are freely set open, to all the faithful Worshippers of God; this I desire may be published with speed, to go thorough this Nation, as it hath often gone thorough me as a joyful Sound, sent from the King of Israel, to whom be eternal glorious Praises for ever, with Hallelujahs unto the holy One, from whom it is sent and published,  By Dorothy White, 
The 20. of the 8. Month, 1661.   

Unto thee my Beloved, my streams of Love doth slow, as doth the Rain, which into the Sea doth go; and the time is come, wherein the Turtle sings in the Valleys low: And so sweet my streams of Life doth run, in beams of Brightness, descending from the Sun; Glory and Peace doth fully increase, from God most true and just, who is faithful unto all, who in his Name doth trust; and in the pure Life, all his voice may hear, by all that upon him wait, and to him draw near: This is the day, wherein the Lord is come, with the Bridegroom, so glorious is the Sun, which is now breaking forth in his glory Bright, to gather the Nations, to walk in his pure Light: This is the day, wherein Zion hath appeared, and her sweet harmonious sounds, the Nations all must hear; whose Glory must overspread the Earth, whole Light leadeth again, and bringeth from the Death; whose Power hath broke open the graves, and hath raised the slain, to sit on David's Throne to Reign; what shall I say? the depths of God's Love, from which Hell nor Death cannot us move; who are of Abraham's stock, who are of jacob's Seed, and in the depth of my Life, all my Love may read; which is come to advance his glorious Name, and throughout the earth to spread his eternal Fame; that the Nations unto him may come, that they may be gathered by the true light of the Son; that the blind may now come and see, the glorious light of the most holy Day, that with the Lamb they may ever Reign, who hath raised and brought from the Dead again; therefore Zion lift up thy voice and sing, shout for joy, and let thy Name through the Nation's Ring; for thy King is now come to Reign, and to sit on David's Throne again; and Life is now revealed, and Immortality, and the Fountain full, God hath unsealed to refresh the weary, the hungry, and the thirsty drinketh abundantly at the full; streams of Life at the Wellspring of Salvation, the Kingdom is come, the Nations shall be gathered into the Kingdom, to walk in the Light which leadeth into the Kingdom, into the Holy City, into the Bride-chamber; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, the beautiful Garments are prepared; for the Lamb's Wife, the Bridegroom hath met the Bride, and the Holy City is revealed, the Heavenly Jerusalem is come; where the Harmonies are heard, where the Angels sing before the Lamb's Throne, where the Trumpets of God are sounded forth, where the shouts are sounded through the Earth, where the voices of Angels are heard as Harps, harping the new Songs; Hosanna is sung in Zion, by the Tribes of Israel, who sitteth on the Throne, judging the Earth, with all its unrighteousness; yea, Victory is come, the Lamb hath overcome the world, he hath run the Race, and to him is the Crown given: And this my Friends is sent to you from God, most holy, most faithful, and most true; and you all in the Life may feed, and in the deep God's mysteries come to read; for my Life is very near to you, with whom I am bound in the Bond that's true; where my Life with you, up is sealed, and from God my Mysteries are revealed; and with you all, I do lie down and rest, sucking at Gods most holy Breast; for God's Consolation doth evermore abound, where salvation is become a Crown of Life to me, and to all, who are walking in the day; so the living voice of the Lord all come to hear, within his Mountain, where the waters clear, run from jacob's Well, out of which I drink, and bid you all farewell.

And drink of the Waters sweet, which floweth from jacob's Well,  
Whose Waters are as Honey, and in Virtue doth excel;  
The streams from God, you may all come to feel,  
And drink out of the Fountain, which doth the Nations heal;  
I well know the streams doth run within,  
Which causeth all to rejoice, and in the Valleys sing:   
For God most holy is become our life, who hath redeemed us from the earth, and brought us again, who hath set us free, into the glorious liberty of the Sons, and Sonship of Life; so feel the eternal Power, the quickening and inclining Word of Life, which setteth free from the bondage of Hell and death; for freedom in the Name of the Lord God, I do this day proclaim, as the Message of Life to all Zions Seed, whom God is bringing forth, whom God is advancing, whom God is glorifying; feel the Life of the holy Lamb, in the Kingdom of God's glory, that you may know it established in you, that you may know Zions Redemption come, that you may sing the Praises of God in the holy Land; where Life is revealed, and Immortality is come, and Death is swollowed up into Victory, and the Seed God hath raised out of Captivity, where it hath been slain: This is God's glorious Work, that he is working in the Earth, and a more glorious Work he will yet work and bring forth; this I do declare in the Name of the Lord God, that such a Work God will bring forth, as shall astonish all gainsayers; and they that gaze and wonder, shall be amazed at the sight thereof, and howl for vexation of spirit; for a day of howling is coming upon the world; but I say to you rejoice, who are come out from the world; life up your heads, for your Redemption is at hand: And this I cannot but declare to you, seeing it so near come, and blessed are all who dwell in the Faith of the Son of God, to be purified thereby, they shall be glorified in the day of his most Glorious Appearance, they shall sit on the Throne of his Glory, reigning in the Dominion of God, for ever and ever: Therefore lift up your hands, and rejoice and sing, for our Beloved is come, who doth glad tidings bring, that you may be clothed with Garments of Praise, after the day of mourning; that you may sing the Songs of deliverance out of Captivity, as I do this day; that you may praise and glorify the Name of the most High, for evermore: And this is the Salutation of my Life, in the Love of the Lord God, who am a Babe born of the same Birth of eternal Love, who live with you in the seed of Life, and in the Kingdom and Patience of Jesus christ, do wait in the Tribulation, and also in the rejoicing, for the advancing of the Kingdom of God: So Grace be with you all, Amen: From your Friend,  
Dorothy White.   


And before him you may all rejoice,  
And like Trumpets, lift up your glorious Voice:  
And Beloved, our Life is come,  
And we shall be clothed with the Beauty of the Sun;  
Who is come to reign in his Majesty,  
Who is breaking forth, in this his glorious Day;  
Who shall reign, and over the Nations spread,  
And under his feet, his Enemies shall tread:  
So our Beloved is become our Life,  
We are his Virgins, and his Married Wife;  
Who are to him bound all in one Band,  
Who are rejoicing in the Holy Land:  
We are come unto the glorious Day,  
Therefore all hasten, and to it come away,  
That you may all be gathered in,  
Into the Palace of the glorious King;  
That you all his Beauty behold  
That in his Love you may be wrapped and fold.  
Christ our Life, is now become our Head,  
And by his Power, hath raised us from the dead;  
And unto us he is become our All,  
Who in his Mercy hath saved us from the Fall.  
This is the Day, wherein glad tidings is come,  
Therefore with echoes sweet, sing to the holy One.  
All you Babes, born of the Royal Birth,  
All ye that are of the Noble Seed, who are set free from Death.  
Lift up your Voice, and like a Trumpet sing,  
Sound forth, sound forth, the glory of Zions' King;  
With echoes sweet, give forth the glorious Sound,  
Throughout the world, with Glory, Honour, and Heavenly renown;  
That many may come and drink of jacob's Well,  
Whose waters sweet, in virtue doth excel;  
And in Crystal streams, from his Throne doth slow,  
As doth rain descend, and into the Sea doth go.  
The Rest is come, the Sabbath is known,  
Glory be given to him, that sitteth on the Throne.   
And this is a joyful sound, that Immortality is come, that the Life and Power of Jesus Christ is revealed, in the immortal Glory of God, in the overshadowing of his Love, in the glory of his Brightness, in the excellency of his Beauty, he is risen to reign in his Magistical Brightness, who is God over all; Glory for ever and ever: And this is the Salutation of Life, in the Love that is endless: Far you all well.
