A LOVING SALUTATION  
To The seed of Abraham among the Jews: where ever they are scattered up and down upon the face of the earth. And to the seed of Abraham among all people upon the face of the earth; which are all out of the way: wandering up and down from mountain to hill, seeking rest and finding none.  
And The way of truth opened to them, which is the way of holinesse which all that comes to be made alive unto God must walk in, where the unclean cannot pass, but is for the ransomed and redeemed to return to Zion.  
Thus  Saith the Lord thy Redeemer, the holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldst go, Isa. 48.17. As many were astonished at thee, his visage was so marred more then any man, and his form more than the Sons of men; so shall he sprinkle many Nations. The Kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been  told them shall they see, & that which they had not heard shall they consider, Isa. 52.14.15. In the last dayes it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the Mountaines, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and people shall flow unto it: And many Nations shall say, Come, let us go up to the Mountain of the Lords, and to the house of the God of Jacob▪ and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for the Law shall go forth of Z●on, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Mal. 4. and Isa. 2.

A Loving Salutation, To the seed of Abraham among the Jews; where ever they are scattered up and down upon the face of the Earth. And to the seed of Abraham among all people upon the face of the Earth; which are all out of the way: wandering up and down from mountain to hill, seeking rest but finding none.  
DAVID saith, The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God; They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doth good; and the Lord looked down from Heaven upon the Children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, 
Psal. 14. and 53.  and seek God; and they were all g ne aside, they are altogether become filthy, there is none that doth good, no not one. Here you may see and red yourselves where you are, who are out of the way of peace, and the way of truth, and the life.  
Now this is unto you all, who are out of the light, from the seed which hath obtained the promise, that ye may come to partake of the same, and be brought to the fold where there is one shepherd, and one sheepfold, where the promise of the Lord is fulfilled, who hath said; It is a light thing that thou mightest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel, I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the Earth. Thus saith the Lord the Redeemer of Israel, and his holy one, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the Nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, Princes also shall worship, because the Lord is faithful, and the holy one of Israel. In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee, and I will preserve thee, 
Isa. 39.  and give thee for a Covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages, that thou mayest say to the prisoner, go forth, and to them that are in darkness, show yourselves, they shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in the high places: So here is your mercy offered freely unto you, and the good will of him that dwelled in the bush, and there is no God besides him, neither shall ye find salvation in any other; By the hand of the mighty God is jacob and joseph made strong, from thence is the shepherd, the ston of Israel, and the precious things springs from him, who is Davids root. Therefore come, Oye house of jacob, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. This is the day of your visitation, Therefore seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him, while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and slight not the mercies of the Lord, and his gracious visitation unto you; for he hath brought salvation near, and his Covenant is he performing with you; If you do turn to that measure of light which you have received from him, who is the light of Israel; The Covenant of the Lord is given for a light to open blind eyes, which brings salvation to the ends of the earth; which light lets you see the thoughts of your hearts, that they are vain, which light lets you see when you do amiss, when you bear false witness, when you tell a lie, when ye do wrong to any man: which light will led you unto Justice and equity, which light will teach you to fulfil the law of Moses, and to do to all men as ye would they should do to you, which light will led you unto righteousness, by which ye may fulfil, and answer to the righteousness of the Law, and statutes, and commandements of God, which ye can never do, your mindes being from the light.  
Therefore in the fear of the Lord God, turn your minds to within, where the light shines in the heart, where the Lord teacheth all his people; who are taught of him, are taught by the light; and guided by the light, for God is the light of his Israel; All the Children of the Lord are taught of the Lord, and they are established in righteousness, and they are far from oppression, and great is their peace, and the Lords children are taught by the light.  
And so as ye desire to be the children of the Lord, and taught of the Lord. turn your mindes to the light that shows you sin and evil, and checks you when you do transgress. This will guide your mindes to God, and bring you out of the transgression, and out of the sin, into the new Covenant, which the Lord doth make with his people, which is not according to the old Covenant, which Covenant you broken, but this is an everlasting Covenant, which never can be broken, to those who lives in it, and walks in it, and obeys the leading and guiding of the light, which is the Covenant.  
This answers and fulfils the righteousness of the Law of God, and brings you through, to fulfil the whole Law, and Covenant of God, which you could never do, your minds being from the light, which light is the substance of the Covenant of the Law, of the commandements, of the statutes and judgements; which light answers, and fulfils the righteousness of them all, and takes them away outwardly: and those who dwells in the light, and stands in it, dwells in the substance, out of the shadow, form, and likeness; So here is your way, in the light, which ye feel and see in you, not a thing without you, but in that which is in you, which you know of, which you can bear testimony of, this is a substance and not a shadow: and by no other way nor means under Heaven, shall you ever come to know the salvation of Israel; but as your minds are turned, and joined to the light which is in you, which brings salvation to the ends of the earth. And the prophesy is fulfilling, which crieth. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters freely, without money; buy wine and milk: harken diligently, and eat ye that which is good, and let your souls delight itself in fatness; Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your souls shall live: and I will make an everlasting Covenant with you even the sure mercies of David. 
Isa. 55.  Behold I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.  
And this is he which all Nations must follow, who is given a witness, and a leader, and a Commander to all the people of God, who is the desire of all Nations, which is come a witness to all people, and a leader of all unto God: who are like sheep gone astray, who hath turned, every one to his own way. But now is the Lord gathering them that will be gathered, all that do turn unto this witness of God in them, the Lord will heal them. Behold I will bring health, and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth: and I will cause the Captivity of Judah, and the Captivity of Israel to return, and will build them as at first, and I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned against me; and whereby they have transgressed. So if ye will be cleansed from your iniquity, turn to the light within you, which makes manifest the deceit of your hearts, if ye will have health and cure, turn to the light that lets you see your sin, and transgression, and your iniquity which separates you from God; And if ye desire your iniquity pardonned, and if ye desire to return from your captivity, and to be built as ye were at first, turn to the light that separates from iniquity, and depart from evil, and harken there in the pure light in your consciences diligently, and there you will hear as you abide in the light, and dwell in it, and walk in it; so you will come to hear the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, 
Jer. ●3. ●●.  the voice of them that shall say, praise the Lord of Hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: for I will cause their Captivity to return as at first, saith the Lord.  
So here is the Lords love freely tendered to you, if ye come into the light, by which the Lord God teacheth his people; that in the pure obedience of the leading and teaching, and guiding of the light turn your mindes to within, into the light, which convinceth of sin and evil: here you will come to have your hearts circumcised, and the foreskin of your heart taken away: here ye will come to have your hearts rent, and not your garments, here ye will turn to the Lord, and receive his Covenant and promise, who hath said, I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good: but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me: yea I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly, with my whole heart, and with my whole soul. See here the faithfulness of the Lord, and his loving kindness holden forth unto you: in giving to you his light and testimony, whereby you may be guided up unto him, which makes manifest his will and likewise shows unto you that which is contrary to his will in turning of your minds to the light you will come to know the one teacher, by which the Lord teaches his people Jew and gentle, Barbarian, Scythian, bond and free.  
By this eternal light of the Lord doth the Lord gather all his people into one; and fulfils his promise, who saith. Behold, I will gather them out of all Countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in my wrath, and I will bring them again into this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever. See here the infinite goodness of God, who hath manifested his one way, and there is no other to the father, his eternal light, which makes manifest and discovers all sin and uncleanness, and leads up into purity and righteousness, which purifies the heart, and places the pure fear, and brings into the one heart, and into the one way, where the fear of the Lord is for ever, and the truth in the inward parts, which only is accepted with the Lord. Behold the dayes come saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel, and to the house of Judah, In those dayes, and at that time, will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow unto David, and he shall execute judgement and righteousness in the land: In those dayes shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely, and this is his name wherewith he shall be called, the Lord our righteousness. David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of Israel. So to the light of the God of Israel turn your minds, and here ye will see him perform the good thing that he hath promised: And this pure light of God will led you into righteousness, and will bring forth the branch of righteousness, where you may dwell safely, where ye may have the Lord for your teacher, and leader, and guider: Thus saith the Lord God, the Holy one of Israel, in returning and rest shall ye be saved, and in quietness, and in confidence shall be your strength. Therefore doth the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, therefore will he be exalted that he may have mercy upon you, for the Lord is a God of judgement, blessed are all they that wait for him: he will be very gracious unto thee, at the voice of thy cry, when he shall hear it; he will answer thee: and though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction; yet shall not thy teacher be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teacher, and thy ears shall hear a voice behind thee, saying, this is the way walk in it; when ye turn to the right hand, or to the left. So this is the word which thou must hear, which teacher will never more be removed into a corner, which shows thee when thou turns to the right hand or to the left, which shows thee the intents of thy heart, and is a discerner of thy secret thoughts: by this eternal light doth the Lord God teach his people, which reveals all secrets, which rips up, and lays open the hidden things of Esau: And so waiting here in the light, the mind being subjected to the leading and guiding of the light, then the power of the Lord will be manifested, which brings the seed out of bondage, out of the house of darkness: so the seed being raised by the power of the Lord God out of egypt and darkness, the first born will come to be slain, when the Lord calls his son out of egypt, Israel his first born, and then the law will be given, and written in the heart, and the Covenant of the Lord will be performed, with his own seed, as he calls Israel out of the house of bondage; the darkness of egypt: where the dead bodies lies in the street of the great City, Sodom and Egypt, which is all the world spiritually: but the free Covenant of everlasting love and life is set open, and the voice cries freely. Ho, every one that thirsteth come to the water of life, and he that hath no money, come, and buy wine and milk, you that have sold your selves for nought; shall be redeemed without money: If you turn your minds to the light within you, which is freely given you of the Lord, which shows you sin and evil, by which the Lord teaches his people, Jews and Gentiles.  
This is the promise of the father, the light, which is his Covenant, Behold my servant which I uphold, 
Isa. 42.  mine Elect in whom my soul delighteth, I have put my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles: I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, I will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people, for a light to the Gentiles. mark, here is the Covenant, and here is the light, and this is for the opening of the blind eyes, to bring forth the prisoner from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. There is the prison, in darkness: there is the egypt and the bondage, in the darkness, who are not in the light. But whose minds are turned into the light, there will be a rising out of the darkness; and here the blind eyes will be opened, and deaf ears will hear, and the prisoner will come forth of the prison, and here the promise of the Lord will be fulfilled. 
Zach. 9.11.  As for thee also by the blood of thy Covenant, I have sent forth the prisoners out of the pit wherein there is no water.  
turn ye to the strong hold ye prisoners of hope, I am the Lord, that is my name, my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graved Images: Behold the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare, before they spring forth I tell you of them: sing unto the Lord a new long, and his praise to the ends of the earth, ye that go down to the Sea, and all that is therein, the Isles, and the Inhabitants thereof, let the wilderness, and the Cities thereof lift up their voices, let the Inhabitants of the rocks sing; let them shout from the top of the mountains, let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the Islands, for whose minds are turned into the light, and free Covenant of the living God, there to abide, and dwell, and live, shall have cause to praise the Lord for ever, and shall receive his everlasting free promise unto them for ever, which is freely tendered unto all, and all have received a light from him, that shows the secrets of their hearts, and testifies against sin and evil, and that mind that is lead and guided by this pure light, will be guided up unto God, and will receive his everlasting promise, which is as sure as the Covenant is with the day and with the night; Thus saith the L●rd, If you can break my Covenant with the day, and with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season, then may also my Covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his Throne, for the Mountaines shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the Covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord, that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and thy foundation with sapphires, and I will make thy windows of Agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. So if you will lay your foundation with sapphires, come into the light wherein dwells purity, if ye will lay your stones with faire colours, come into the light which teacheth righteousness, uprightness, and purity: and if you will have all the borders of pleasant stones, come into the light, dwell in the light, live in the light, by which the Lord God doth teach his people: here is the border of the sanctuary, God is light, and in him is no darkness at all: and the Lord hath said, all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children; 
Isa. 54.  In righteousness shalt thou be established, thou shalt be far from oppression: no weapon formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that riseth up against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn.  
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord; So if ye desire this inheritance, turn your mindes into the light which is of God, where righteousness dwells, which teaches righteousness, which leads into righteousness, and establishes in righteousness, which light is of God, which God hath given, which light shines in the conscience, which light keeps the conscience tender; which light was, before man was, which is of God, and comes from God; and as it is minded, and dwelled in, the fear of the Lord is placed, which is to depart from evil, which fear of the Lord is the beginning of pure wisdom, 
Mal. 4.  and unto those that fear my name, saith the Lord, shall the Son of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and ye shall go forth, and grow up, as Calves of the stall; and the secrets of the Lord are with those that fear him: And Solomon saith, The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life. So as ye mind the light, that shines in your consciences, the fear of the Lord will be kept, and so ye will be kept low, and tender, and humble. What man is he that feareth the Lord, 
Psal. 25.  him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose; The secrets of the Lord are with them that fear him, and he will show them his Covenant: The meek shall he guide in judgement, and the meek will he teach his way; all the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his Covenant and testimony.  
Here is the path of the Lord in the mercy, and in the truth, and in keeping his Covenant, and his testimony, and his fear, and this is in the inward parts, who dwells and abides here, will have the new heart given, which the Lord hath promised; a new heart also will I give you, 
Ezek. 36.26.  and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh, and I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements and do them. And again, 
Ezek. 11.  I will give them one heart, and I will put a new Spirit within you, and take the stony heart out of their flesh and I will give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my Ordinances, and do them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.  
So here now you may see, the Lords work is in the inward parts, there doth he look for the truth within, and there doth he make his Covenant, and writ his law in this his day, for the dayes are past and gone; wherein the Covenant was written in Tables of ston; and the dayes are come, which the Lord promised, who said, Behold the dayes come saith the Lord, that I will make a new Covenant with the house of Israel, and Judah, not according to the Covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of egypt, which my Covenant they broken, but this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, 
Jer. 3.  after those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Law in their inward parts, and writ it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people, and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall all know me from the least to the greatest, saith the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquities, and will remember their sin no more.  
So this is the Covenant, which the Lord is making in these his dayes, with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, and with all that do flow to the mountain of the Lords house, which is established in the top of the Mountaines, where all Nations shall flow unto it, for out of Zion goes forth the Law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, which he writeth in the heart, and putteth in the inward parts: so here must ye look for your law, and for your testimony, which hath been bound and sealed up among the Disciples, which Isaiah saw, who said, I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him; Isaiah knew that he would hid his face, and that the Law and Testimony should be bound and sealed, yet he did look for him, who is now come in these his dayes, whose law and Testimony is manifested and written in the inward parts; 
Joel 2.  and the dayes are come which Joel prophesied, who said it shall come to pass afterward, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and also upon the servants and on the handmaids in those dayes will I poure out of my Spirit, for behold in the dayes, and at that time, when I shall bring again the Captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all Nations, 
Joel 3.  and will bring them down into the valley of Jehosophat, and will pled with them there. And again, fear not, I am with thee, I will bring thy seed from the East, and gather thee from the West, and I will say to the North give up and to the South keep not back, bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the Earth; bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears, let all Nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled, for I will poure water on him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground, I will poure my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine off spring. 
Isa. 43.   
Here you may red the large love and mercy of the Lord to all that will turn to the measure of his Spirit, which is light, which he hath given to every one. If you look for the promise of the Lord to be fulfilled, you must look for the Spirit, for the promise of God is the Spirit; until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, 
Isa. 32.  and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest: Mark, here your fruitful field must be counted for a forest, when the Spirit is poured from on high, and that which hath been the wilderness must be the fruitful field, then shall judgement dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in that fruitful field, the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever, and my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.  
See now if ye can come to this, and own this Spirit to teach you, and guide you, and led you, this promise you will receive and enjoy, when the Lord speaks comfortably unto Jerusalem, and bids the Prophet cry that her warfare is accomplished, he saith, The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make strait in the desert a high way for our God, now God is a Spirit, and his promise is the Spirit: The Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took off the Spirit that was upon him, 
Numb. 11.  and gave it unto the seventy elders, and it came to pass that when the Spirit restend upon them that they prophesied, and did not cease: turn ye at my reproof, behold, I will poure out my Spirit upon you, and I will make known my words unto you, 
Porv. 1.  The Lord hath said, the parched ground shall become a pool, the thirsty land springs of Water, and an high way shall be there; and a way that shall be called the way of holinesse, the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those, the wayfairing men, though fools, shall not err therein; No Lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast go thereon, which shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there; and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads, and they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow, and sighing shall fly away.  
So here is your way which you must pass, even in the purity of the Spirit, which is the way of holinesse, where the unclean cannot pass, and when ye are come into this way, and passing on in this way, then ye may look for your outward privileges, for he to whom the promise is, the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, and the Spirit of wisdom and understanding; the Spirit of council and of might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord, and with righteousness doth he judge, and reproves with equity; and he is set for an ensign for the Nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah, from the four corners of the earth, then shall the Lord utterly destroy the tongue of the egyptian Sea, and all the power of darkness, and with his mighty wind, which is the Spirit, shall he shake his hand over the River, and shall smite it in the seven streams thereof, which is the power of Aegypts darkness, and so make men go over dry shod, in the Spirit: there is the high way for the remnant of his people, who hears the voice which doth cry, unto every one that thirsteth, which saith incline your ear and come unto me, hear and your soul: shall live, and I will make an everlasting Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David: Behold I have given him for a witness, unto the people, a leader and Commander to the people, this leader, and this witness is in the Spirit: seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call upon him, while he is near. Behold thou shalt call a Nation that thou knowest not, and Nations that know not thee shall run unto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel, for he hath glorified thee, this promise is unto David, and unto his seed for ever, in the Spirit: for of the increase of his government and peace, 
Isa. 9.  there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon his kingdom to order it, and to establish it with judgement, and with justice from henceforth even for ever.  
The Lord sent a word unto Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. Now if ye will mind the word, which the Lord hath sent unto Jacob, this will lighten and open your blind eyes, 
Isa. 42.  and the Lords promise will be fulfilled unto you, who hath said, I will bring the blind by a way that they know not, and I will led them in paths that they have not known, I will make darkness light before them, and crooked ways strait: In those days and at that time will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow up unto David, and he shall execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In those dayes shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is his name wherewith he shall be called, The Lord our righteousness: For thus saith the Lord, David shall never want a man to sit upon the Throne of the house of Israel.  
So this you must look for in the Spirit, this branch of righteousness is in the Spirit, and he executes judgement in the Spirit; and this promise of the Lord unto David is in the Spirit: And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and I will bring them again to their folds, and they shall be fruitful and increase, and I will set up shepherds over them, which shall feed them, and they shall fear no more, nor be afraid, neither shall be lacking, saith the Lord: And the righteous branch that the Lord doth raise unto David, the King that reigns and prospers is called, The Lord our righteousness, he is the righteousness of all, and he executes justice and judgement in the earth in righteousness, and David in Spirit called him Lord, 
Psal. 110.  who is our righteousness, and the righteousness of all who are guided by him, and taught of him; and here ye must look for your King, and your Messiah, in the Spirit. So kiss the Son least he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but little, blessed are they that trust in him; who is light and a Spirit, that guides and leads his people in paths they have not known, and this Michael the great Prince ye must look for within first, and they that are wise, and looks for him where he is to be found, shall shine as the brightness of the Firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness, as the Stars for ever and ever, 
Dan. 12,  many shall be purified and made white, and tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. Doth not wisdom cry, 
Prov. 8.  and understanding put forth her voice, unto you O men I call, and my voice is unto the sons of men: O ye simplo understand wisdom, and ye fools be of an understanding heart; council is mine, and sound wisdom, I am understanding, I have strength, by me Kings reign, and Prindecree justice, by me Princes rule, and nobles even all the Judges of the Earth.  
Here you may see the universal leading and guiding and governing of the Lord, 
Zach. 4.  is by his own wisdom and counsel in the Spirit, not by my might, nor power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of hosts: Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him, with whom took he counsel, and who instructed him in the path of Judgement, and taught him knowledge, 
Isa. 40.  and shewed him the way of understanding? Behold, the Nations are as the drop of a bucket, and all flesh is as grass, and the grass withereth, and the flower fadeth, because the Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it, but the word of our God shall stand for ever.  
This is the word which Moses taught Israel, when he said, thou shalt harken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandements, and his statutes, and if thou turn to the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for this Commandment, which I command thee this day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off but the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.  
Mark, here the voice was in their heart, whereby they might keep the Law and the statutes; 
Deut. 30.  if they did turn to the Lord with all their heart, and with all their soul, then they could keep and do it. Moses saith further, See I have set before thee this day, life and death, good and evil in that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his commandements, and his statutes, and his judgements, that thou mayest live, and the Lord thy God will bless thee; If they walked in this, and kept this, it was life; But if thy heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt draw away, and worship other Gods, I denounce unto thee this day that thou shalt surely perish. So here comes the destruction, by the heart turning away from the word, which is nigh in the heart, which teacheth to love the Lord with all the heart, which word teaches to keep the Law, the statutes, and the judgements, and to walk in them; And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, 
Isa. 30.  and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers, and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way walk in it, when ye turn to the right hand, or to the left.  
This is the word of the Lord that endures for ever; and by this doth the Lord teach his people: 
Isa 40.  I cloath the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. The Lord hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary; he that hath an ear, let him hear: Is not my word like a fire, 
Jer. 23.  and like a hammer that breaks the rocks in pieces. And David saith; Thy word have I hide in my heart, that I might not sin against thee: Thy word is a lamp, unto my feet, and a light unto my paths. The word in Davids heart was a light unto him, and so it is unto all, whose heart is upright, who is guided by the light, which is the word, which is the Spirit, which is the Law, which is written in the heart: David saith, behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part shalt thou make me to know wisdom. David learned wisdom in the hidden part; Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin, purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter then the snow.  
This is in the inward part, where the Lord desireth truth: Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew a right Spirit within me; cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me: restore me unto the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free Spirit.  
Here was Davids strength in the free Spirit; whose desire was to be renewed in the inward parts, who knew the sacrifice that God acepted, for thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it thee, but thou delightest not in burnt offerings: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, 
Psal 51.  a broken and a contrite heart O God thou wilt not despise.  
This is the sacrifice God only accepts, truth in the inward parts, where the righteousness of his law is known, and seen; The Lord is nigh to them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite Spirit. Here the Lord writeth his law, and here he placeth his fear. 
Psal. 37.  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgement, the law of God is in his heart, none of his steps shall slide. The Law of God is perfect, converting the soul, the Testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simplo, the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, the commandement of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes, the fear of the Lord is clean, 
Psal. 19.  enduring for ever, the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous, altogether more to be desired are they then Gold, yea then much fine Gold, sweeter also then honey, and the honey comb, by them is thy servant forewarned, and in keeping of them there is great reward.  
See how David reads them in his pure heart, and ranks them up together, who knows the worth and value of them, who lives in uprightness and purity, in keeping the righteous judgements, 
Psal. 119.  and statutes of the Lord, who saith, I will run the way of thy commandements, when thou shalt enlarge my heart: Teach me, O Lord the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it to the end, give me understanding, and I shall know thy Law.  
Here is Davids way in the commandements, in the statutes, in keeping of the Law, in the Testimony, in the word, in the fear of the Lord, in the precepts, and in the righteousness; and this is the way of all the righteous who are pure in heart; who only sees God, and unto this spirit of David, which leads unto purity and holinesse, is the promise of the Lord established for ever. Thus saith the Lord, if ye can break my Covenant of the day and of the night, 
Jer. 32.  that there should not be day and night in their season, then may also my Covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a Son to reign upon his Throne; as the host of Heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the Sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant.  
This is the day of the fulfilling of this promise to all Davids seed, and Davids spirit, Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the Law of the Lord: O how do I love thy Law, it is my meditation all the day, 
Psal. 119.  unless thy Law had been my delight; I should have perished in mine affliction: my soul is continually in mine hand, yet do I not forget thy Law. Take not the word of thy truth out of my mouth, for I have hoped in thy judgements, so that I keep thy Law continually for ever, and ever. Here David kept the Law through the word for ever: O Lord thy word is settled in Heaven. The word of the Lord is right, 
Psal. 33.  and all his works are one in truth. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept thy word; The proud hath forged lies against me, their heart is fat as grease, but I have kept thy Law: The Law of thy mouth is better to me than thousands of Gold and silver. The entrance of thy word giveth light. And Solomon saith, The commandement is a lamp, and the Law is light, 
Prov. 6  and the reproofs of instruction are the way of life: This is the was of life, the light, which is the Law, where reproofs are, where the instruction is leading and guiding in the pure path. harken unto me ye that know righteousness, 
Isa. 51.  the people in whose heart is my Law: harken unto me, O my people, give ear unto me, O my Nation, for a Law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgement to rest for a light: My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arm shall judge the people, and the Isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.  
Here is the righteousness of the Law brought near to them whose mindes are turned to the light, which leads into righteousness, and teacheth righteousness, all them that waits upon the arm of the Lord. For the Lord God is gathering his sheep, where they have been scattered, for thus saith the Lord God, Behold I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out, as a shepherd seeketh out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places, where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day, and I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own Land, and feed them upon the Mountaines of Israel, by the Rivers, in all the inhabitable places of the Country: I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high Mountaines of Israel, there shall their fold be, Mark, there is the Lords house established, in the top of the mountaines unto which the Nations flows, there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed, and I will cause them to lie down saith the Lord God, and I will seek that which is lost, and bring again that which is driven away, and I will bind up that which is broken, and will strengthen that which is sick, but I will destroy the fat, and the strong, I will feed them with judgement: Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall be no more a prey, and I will judge between cattle, 
Ezek. 34.  and cattle, and I will set up one shepherd, even my servant David, he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd, and I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a Prince among them, I the Lord have spoken it.  
This prophesy is the Lord bringing to pass, and gathering his flock, and raising up the plant of his renown, which shall never be consumed, but shall grow up to the praise, and glory of his name, for the ston cut out of the mountain without hands is smiting the image upon his feet, which is iron and day, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold is he breaking to pieces, and it is becoming as the chaff of the threshing floor, that withereth away; and the ston that smites the image is becoming a great mountain, and it shall fill the whole earth, and the Thrones are casting down, and the ancient of dayes doth sit, whose garment is white as snow, and the hair of his head as pure wool, his Throne is like the fiery flamme, a fiery flamme issueth and cometh out before him, thousand thousands gives praises to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand gives glory and honour before him, and judgement is set, and the books are opening, and the beast is coming to be slain, and his body to be given to the burning flamme; who bears his image and have his mark, who have fallen down and worshipped him; his power is fall ng, and the Dragon that gives him his power is chaining, and the measuring reed is gone forth that measures the Temple, and leaves out the court, and the just balance is weighing, and the tried ston is judging, the precious corner ston, which lays judgement to the line, and righteousness to the plumber, so all that desires to know the living God, who desires to have the light of his countenance to shine upon them, turn to the light within you, this is the way, the truth and the life, and there is no other way, nor name under Heaven by which any shall be saved, or come to the knowledge of the true God, for God is light, and God is a Spirit, and God is the word; and this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel, and he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them, and he shined forth from mount Paran; from his right hand went a fiery law for them.  
This is the law which the Saints receive from the Lords right hand, which burns up all the chaff, and cuts down all that is contrary to it. The flaming sword that keeps the three of life, he that can receive it let him.  
So now, if ye will come out of the old Covenant, which Covenant ye have broken, and so are Covenant breakers with God, and cannot be accepted in that condition, but lies desolate and forsaken; So if ye will be accepted of God, or received unto him, ye must come into the new Covenant, for there is God engaged to you, and there is God known, in the Spirit, and there is God worshipped in the Spirit, where the Law is written in the heart, and the Spirit put in the inward parts, which teacheth righteousness, and leads and guides into purity, which Spirit circumciseth the heart, which is the seal of the new Covenant, circumcision which is of the heart, in the Spirit.  
So be not faithless and unbelieving, still going on in hardness of heart, and in the provocation, as your fathers did, which grieved the Lord, that he swore in his wrath, they should not enter into his rest, they tempted him, and proved him, and would not believe in his works, and so entered not because of unbelief. And the Prophet Isaiah complained, and said, 
Jer. 28.  who hath believed our report, hardness of heart, and unbelief hath been your ruin, ye would not believe your going to Babylon, which the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, but would rather harken to Hananiah the false Prophet. And the Lord commanded you, saying let not your prophets and diviners be in the midst of you, which deceives you, for they prophesy falsely in my name; and I have not sent them saith the Lord, and the Prophet Isaiah cried, 
Jer. 29.  woe to the rebellious house, saith the Lord, that taketh council, but not of me, that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit.  
Now go ye writ it before them in a Table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, for ever and ever, that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the Law of the Lord, 
Isa. 30.  which say to the seers, see not, and to the Prophets prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits. And you would not hear the roll that the Lord by Jeremiah made to be written, 
Jer, 36.  but when it came to pass, when Jehudi had red three or four lines, he cut it with the pen-knife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, so caused Jeremiah and Baruch to be cast into the dungeon, and thus you requited the Lord evil for good, who had always thoughts of good towards you, and thoughts of peace; Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of egypt, unto this day saith the Lord, I have sent my servants the Prophets, 
Jer. 7.  saith the Lord, daily rising up early, and sending them, yet they harkened not unto me, nor inclined their care, but hardened their necks, they did worse then their Fathers.  
This hath been your sin all along, you would not believe the Lord when he spoken to you, neither by Moses, nor by his true prophets, but ye did set up and establish false prophets among you; your fathers received the Law by the dispensation of Angells, and have not kept it; but have broken it, for Moses said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God: And Moses said, The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet like unto me, unto him shalt thou harken, according to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of thy assembly; saying, let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see the great fire any more, that I dy not.  
This was terrible to you, thunderings, and lightnings, and the noise of the Trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and the thick darkness, which was where God was; This ye desired to see no more, and God was pleased to answer your desire, and said unto Moses, They have well spoken that which they have spoken, I will raise them up a prophet, from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, he shall speak unto them, all that I command him: and it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words, which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.  
And unto this prophet ye have not harkened, yet, unto this day; nor obeied his voice: And now is the prophet speaking unto you in the Spirit, which is light, which is in the midst of thee.  
And now if ye will hear, and believe in this Prophet, this is the word which Moses said was nigh in the heart, which the Lord hath raised in this his day, that all men through him might believe: the light is risen in the hearts and consciences of men, by which the Lord teaches all Nations, and gathers all Nations into one, which is like unto Moses, who saith, this commandement which I command thee this day, is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off, it is not in Heaven, that thou shouldst say, who shall go up for us to Heaven, to bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it, neither is it beyond the Sea, that thou shouldst say who shall go over the Sea for it, to bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it, but the word,( and the Prophet) is very nigh in thy heart, that thou mayest hear it, and do it. Here thou must find the Prophet that the Lord promised unto Moses, that he would raise up, if ever thou find him. I have not spoken in secret, saith the Lord, in a dark place of the earth, I say not unto the house of Jacob, seek ye my face in vain; 
Isa. 45.  I the Lord speak righteousness, I desire things that are right, assemble yourselves, and come near together, who hath declared this from ancient times, who hath  told it from that time, have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour, and there is none besides me, look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth.  
And to this word and Prophet must all the ends of the earth look, that are saved. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Sion for a foundation a ston, 
Isa. 28.  a tried ston, a precious corner ston, a sure foundation, he that believes shall not make hast, judgement also shall he lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet.  
This is he that is laid in Zion, a sure foundation, who ever believes in him lays judgement to the line, for Zion is redeemed through judgement, and her converts with righteousness; ye are my witnesses saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know, and believe me, and understand, that I am he, before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be any after me; I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange God in you; Therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Remember ye not former things, neither consider the things of old, Behold I will do a new thing, shall ye not know it, 
Isa. 43.  I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.  
Now see if you can believe in the Lord, which is doing a new thing, and is bringing forth his mighty works, even among the Heathen; The Lord is working a work in these dayes, which ye will not believe though it be  told you.  
Now if ye love your souls, and your eternal good, be no more stiff necked, and unbelieving, but come down into the fear of the Lord, and let the light of the Lord, which checks you for sin and evil, search you, and try you, and see your foundation where you stand, who always was a rebellious people against the Lord, so that he complains my people would not harken to my voice, and Israel would have none of me; Oh that my people would have harkened unto me, 
Psal. 81.  and Israel would have harkened to my ways, how soon would I have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries, and Moses said of the rock that begot thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee; And when the Lord saw it; he abhorred thee, and he said, I will hid my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom there is no faith.  
And again, the Lord saith unto Moses, how long will this people provoke me, and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs that I have shewed amongst them. So here you stand yet in the unbelief and hardness of heart, and stiffneckednesse, and now it is time for you to return unto the Lord who calls you, and to believe on him, and harken to his voice within you, his witness and testimony which he hath given you, which testifies against all sin, and all unrighteousness, and all unbelief, and hard-heartedness, and uncleanness, and this testifies against all oppression and wrong, there is that in your hearts which tells you, that you should do unto all men, as ye would they should do unto you; this is just, this is righteous, this is equal, there is that in you which testifies against lying and false swearing, and bearing false witness against your neighbour, there is that in your consciences which tells you, you should have no other God but the living God, and that ye should not make any graved Image.  
Now if you do not mind that of God in you, to guide you and lead you, you serve not the living God, but makes an Image in your mindes of him, which the light of God in you lets you see is not the truth. If ye will come down to the light of God in you, it will show you your hardness of heart, and your hypocrisy, and your rebellion against the living God, and if you mind the light of God in you, which will ripp you up, and lay open all the secrets of your hearts; It lets you see that you have taken the name of the Lord in vain, and that you are guilty before the Lord of sin, and transgression; and the light of the living God will let you see, that you have not kept the sabbath and fast to the Lord, which is, to loose the bonds of wickedness, and to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke, this is the fast which the Lord hath chosen, and this ye have not done yet, the light will let you see the bonds of wickedness, are yet unbroken, and the just of God suffers in oppression in you, for if you had kept this fast, then should the light break forth as the morning, and your health should spring forth speedily, and righteousness should go before thee, and the glory of the Lord should be thy reward, here would be a sabbath and rest to the just of God, which is in bonds in you, and in oppression, which the true fast of the Lord would break; The pure light of God in you doth let you see, that you ought not to steal, nor to kill, which saith thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet; If you would bring your minds to the pure eternal light of God in you, you would hear the same voice of God, as ever was, who is manifested in this his day, in his Spirit. And this light and Spirit of the living God will let you see yourselves to be commandement-breakers, to be sabboth-breakers, and Covenant-breakers; this will let you see that you are out of the way, and that you are become filthy and corrupt.  
And in this condition there is no peace for you, nor reconciliation with God; if ever ye know peace and atonement with God, ye must come to the light, to be proved by the light, and tried by the light, and lead by the light, and guided by the light,  
And this will led you into all truth, and righteousness and peace; and here you will be washed, and purged, and purified, and the vail will be taken off and rent, which is over your heart, and the true circumcision will be known, which is of the heart, in the Spirit, and the offering of a broken and contrite heart, which the Lord only accepteth will be known, and the sabbath of the Lord will be known, where there is true rest and peace, and true worshipping in the Spirit, and the holy day will be known, but all this is known by the washing of the blood of the everlasting Covenant, which cleanses from all sin.  
And so if you would abide here in this pure light and Spirit, ye would know life eternal, and then ye would know what the Lord said, when he said, I would have fed them with the finest wheat, and with honey out of the stony rock would I have satisfied thee.  
And so as you come to wait in the light, and abide in the light, you will come to know this, and so the just will come to live, for the just lives by his faith. 
Hab. 2.   
So wait in the light of the Lord, who is sending forth the light of his truth in this his day; They that wait in the Lord shall renew their strength, blessed are all they that wait for him; David saith, Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait on thee, and again; wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thy heart; wait I say on the Lord, those that wait on the Lord shall inherit the earth, I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, in his word do I hope; My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning; Let Israel hope in the Lord, 
Psal. 130.  for with the Lord there is mercy, he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquity.  
Now if ye can believe David, you will come to wait upon the Lord, your soul will wait upon the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning, And David saith, The Lord is my light and salvation, in thy light I shall see light; And again, he shall bring forth thy righteousness as light; And again, God is the Lord who hath shewed us his light. 
Prov. 20.  Here did David wait upon the Lord in his light, And Solomon saith, wait on the Lord and he shall save thee. 
Isa.  He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement in the earth, and the Isles shall wait for his law, and they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up as with Eagles wings, they shall walk and not be weary, run, and not faint.  
So here is your way, and no salvation shall ye find in any other, but as you come into the fear of the Lord, to wait upon him in his light in you, to guide your mindes, when you turn to the right hand, or to the left; being guided by the light, this will strengthen your heart, and this will led you to uprightness and singleness of heart.  
And here ye must know your King he is just and righteous, having salvation, and he rules and reigns in justice and righteousness, and so waiting here in the Spirit, you will come to receive the promises of the Lord unto you, who is now holding forth his hand of love unto you, and if ever ye come to know him, or to know the kingdom restored unto Israel, ye must prepare to meet him in the Spirit, eternally ye shall witness this to be truth: and as ye are subject and obedient to the teaching and leading, and guiding of the Lord in the Spirit, so will he save you from all your uncleanness, and you will receive his promise, and so the dry bones will come to live, and the wind will breath from the four winds, that they may live; and you will receive this promise. Thus saith the Lord, I will open your graves, and I will cause you to come up out of your graves, and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, and brought you up out of your graves, and I will put my Spirit within you, and ye shall live; Moreover I will make a Covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting Covenant with them, and I will place them, and multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My Tabernacle also shall be with them, 
Ezek. 37.  yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, and the Heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.  
So as you wait in the pure eternal Spirit of light, this you will come to see fulfilled, according to your faithfulness, and according to your obedience, for obedience is required, and the new Covenant which is light, leads into obedience which is better than sacrifice.  
This Moses prophesied of, when he spoken of your trouble and afflictions, which were to come upon you, he saith; Even in the latter dayes if thou turn to the Lord thy God, 
Deut 4.  and shalt be obedient unto his voice, the Lord thy God is a merciful God, he would not forsake thee.  
And again; It shall come to pass when all these things are come upon thee, the blessings and the curses, which I have set before thee, and shalt call them to mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, and shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, 
Deut. 30.  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; That the Lord thy God shall turn away thy captivity, and will have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all Nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.  
See now whether ye will believe Moses, and whether ye will be obedient to the Prophet, that the Lord is raising, like unto Moses,( which is light) to which if ye will be obedient, it will gather you from all nations whither you are scattered, and bring you into the good land, where there is one heart, and one Spirit, where the Lord is one, and his name one, and this is the land of promise, and the Covenant of God unto you, and all Nations, who come to know him in the Spirit, they that are willing and obedient eats the good of this land, and they that are far off, shall come and build in the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me unto you; And this shall come to pass, If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.  
So here is the condition and promise and Covenant of the Lord; according to your obedience to the voice of the Lord in his Spirit, so will it be unto you. And now the prophesy of Hosea is fulfilled upon you, you have been many dayes without a King, without a Prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an Ephod.  
Now if you would return unto the Lord in obedience to his light in you, and seek the Lord, and David your King, and fear the Lord and his goodness in these latter dayes, it would go well with you, for the Lord desireth mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of the Lord more than burnt offerings.  
And if ye desire to know the Lord, you must turn your mindes unto his light, there will you come to know him and feel him, and find him near; then will you know the trumpet of the Lord that is blown in Sion, and the alarm sounded in his holy mountain, which makes all the Inhabitants of the earth to tremble, when the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. 
J●●●. 2.  And it is come to pass which the Prophet prophesied of Zeph. At that time it shall come to pass that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees, the day of the Lord discovers them, and will be sorrow and distress unto them, the great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hastes greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord; that day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble, and distress, a day of darkness and gloomines, a day of the Trumpet and alarm.  
So wait in the pure light that shineth in you; and there you will see this day of the Lord, and hear the voice of this day near, Therefore wait upon me saith the Lord until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth shall be devoured, with the fire of my indignation.  
Who waits upon the Lord in his pure light and Spirit shall see this fulfilled, and shall be preserved in the Lords light, for then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.  
Here is the one light that gathers into one, here is the one Spirit, and the one heart; and here is the pure language learned, here the envy of Ephraim shall depart; and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off, Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim, when the gathering of the Nations is unto this ensign, when the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, who is mighty to save, he will rejoice over thee; 
Isa. 11.  Then sing, and rejoice O daughter of Zion, for lo I come, and will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord; And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee; and the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again, but let all flesh be silent before the Lord, 
Zach. 2.  for he is risen up, out of his holy habitation; where no flesh can come, nor the service of no flesh is accepted, but all flesh is to be silent before the Lord, for the pure worship of God is in the Spirit, which is one in all, which is the ensign that is set, for the gathering of all Nations together in the one Spirit, and one heart, where the Lord is in the midst, and the glory of this latter house is greater than the former, saith the Lord of hosts; In this place will I give peace, and in that day will the Lord defend the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that is feeble among them, at that day shall be as David, and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them, and it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem.  
This you may look for, when there is pure obedience, and waiting in the light upon the Lord, to be guided, and his mighty power, and arm to carry on, then will the Lord fulfil his promise, who saith, I will make thee a sharp threshing instrument, having teeth, thou shalt thrash the Mountaines and beat them small, and make the hills as chaff, and then the promise of the Lord will be fulfilled, I will poure upon the house of David, and upon the Inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace, and of supplication, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first born.  
Waiting in the light, in the pure fear, and subjection, there will ye come to see him whom ye have pierced, and when ye see him, ye will mourn over him, as one that mourneth for his first born; and then the Spirit of grace and supplication you will know, and then the fountain ye will see opened, which is to the house of David, 
Zach. 14.  and to the Inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness; And in that day the living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, and the Lord shall be King over all the earth; In that day there shall be one Lord, and his name one.  
And so here is your head, and your rest, and your kingdom, and your land of promise; and to this you must pass in the Spirit; There is no other way but the light, the way of holinesse, which is through the wilderness, and through the desert.  
And as ye pass in this way, ye will know the shaking down of the power of darkness; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, yet once, and it is a little while, and I will shake the Heavens, 
Hag. 2.  and the earth, and the Sea, and the dry land, and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all Nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts, glory and honour be to the Lord for evermore.  
Now as ye wait in the eternal light, and your minds are kept to it, this you will red near, for these Scriptures were spoken forth, from an eternal Spirit within, and no other Spirit can red them, but the same that spoken them forth, which Spirit is light, which all the servants and messengers of God spoken from, which the natural man knoweth not, where the power of darkness reigns. Behold I sand my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his Temple, even the messenger of the Covenant whom ye delight in; Behold he shall come saith the Lord of hosts, but who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appears, for he is like a refiners fire, and like fullers soap, and he shall sit as a refiner, and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness, then shall the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the dayes of old, and as in former yeares; As the pure obedience to the pure light is given, 
Isa. 25.  so there will be purging and purifying, and the refiner shall sit, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away thy sin, who saith I will come near to you to judgement, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerer, and the adulterer, and the false swearer, for I am the Lord I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob be not consumed.  
So as ye love your souls and your eternal peace turn to the Lord, that calls you, whose spirit will not always strive with man, whose hand of love is continued and holden forth to you.  
do not always hate to be reformed, least he break in upon you, and destroy you, for he hath put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head, and he hath put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and is clad with zeal as with a cloak, according to your deeds, accordingly he will repay fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies.  
So when his righteousness is revealed, in executing vengeance on his enemies, then shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the Sun, when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him; And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord; as for me this is my Covenant with them saith the Lord, my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, from hence forth and for ever.  
This promise is eternal, and this remaines upon the seed of the promise for ever, and the promise to the seed is the Spirit; and the redeemer comes unto Zion in the Spirit, and he comes to those that turns from their transgression, and the ministry of the Spirit is to turn from the darkness to the light, and from the power of Satan unto God: And here comes the resurrection, and the hope of Israel, and here the valley of anchor is the door of hope. Thus saith the Lord, as the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: So will I do for my servants sake that I may not destroy them all; And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah, mine elect shall inherit it, 
Isa. 65.  and my servants shall dwell there: and Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of anchor a place for the herds to ly down in, for my people that have sought me.  
This is to all the servants of the Lord that have sought him, Jews and Gentiles, where the new wine is found in the cluster, which the blessing is to, Sbaron is a fold for all those flocks that seeks unto the Lord and serves him, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.  
And so the promise is fulfilled, where it is said, God shall enlarge Japhet, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and where the Lord saith by the Prophet, I will sow her unto me in the earth, and will have mercy on her that had not obtained mercy, 
Hos. ●. 23.  and I will say unto them that were not my people, thou art my people, and they shall say thou art my God.  
Here is the large infinite love of God manifested, who saith, It is a light thing that thou shouldst raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the preserved of Israel, I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.  
Here is the Covenant that reacheth unto all, the light; and all that come into the light to be guided, lead, and governed, comes into the Covenant.  
So think it not strange, to receive this Testimony from the Gentiles, who have obtained mercy, and received the promise of the Lord, according to Isaiahs prophesy: I am found of them that sought me not, 
Isa. 65.  I said unto a people, behold me unto a nation that was not called by my name, I have spread out my hand all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts.  
Here is your state and condition: Therefore be not high-minded but fear, for this is no new thing to you, for the Lord said by Moses, 
Deut. 32.21.  they have moved me to jealousy with that which is not good, they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people, I will provoke them to anger with a foolish Nation.  
This ye have caused the Lord to do through your provocations, who always rebelled against him, and caused him to turn to the Gentiles with salvation, but though ye be provoked to anger and jealousy by a people that were not, and by a foolish Nation: yet be not angry but turn to him that smiteth, whose hand of dear love is holden forth unto you, who waits to be gracious unto you, who is God over all, and rich unto all; that so in your stumbling ye may not utterly fall, but that rather through your fall, salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke you to jealousy.  
And now that your stumbling hath been the riches of the world, and your diminishing the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will your gathering be joy, and life, and rejoicing to the Gentiles, which writes this unto you, which ye shall eternally witness to be an everlasting testimony of the love of God to you.  
Therefore start not aside, nor cast not this behind you, as ye have done all the gracious tenders of the Lords love formerly: But come to this light that is in you, which will led you into the paths of peace, and into the Covenant where the gathering is, that so you may receive the promise of the Lord to you, who hath said; The sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their Kings shall minister unto thee; and thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breasts of Kings, and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer the mighty one of Jacob. 
Isa 66.   
Now if ye will know your Redeemer, and your Saviour, the mighty one of Jacob, turn to the light, join your mindes into the light, which is within you, and there will you see your Saviour and Redeemer, and there shall ye suck the milk of the Gentiles, and there shall you receive your King. Thus saith the Lord God, behold I will lift up my hand unto the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people, and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders, and Kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their Queens thy nursing mothers, they shall bow down to thee with their faces towards the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet.  
See here now if this be not fulfilled: Is there not even a bowing down unto thee in this loving invitation, and even a licking of the dust of thy feet with their faces towards the earth, who have the standard of the Lord set amongst us, which is for the gathering of all nations together, that we might bring thy sons in our arms, and thy daughters upon our shoulders, our souls desire is that you might all be gathered, and come into the Covenant of light, and love, and partake with us of the everlasting riches and inheritance that never fades away.  
Therefore arise and shine, for thy light is come, and the Gentiles are come to thy light, and Kings to the brightness of thy rising, thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side, then shalt thou see, and flow together, and thy heart shall fear, and be enlarged, because of the abundance of the Sea, that shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come to thee.  
This we desire to see fulfilled, and this we wait for, that even the fullness might come in, for Shiloh is come, unto whom the gathering is, though blindness is happened unto Israel: But the Redeemer is come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob.  
So as you turn from your transgression, this ye will see, and witness. And so whether you hear or forbear, this shall be an eternal testimony for the Lord, for ever:
