ALL my dear Freinds , and Brethren who are of the Royal Seed of God , patience obtaine the victory that runs the race , and obtaines the Crown , and be married and joyned to the Seed Christ the Lamb slaine from the Foundation of the World , from its foundation I say ; Therefore as you are joyned to the Seed and married to that which hath been slain from the foundation of the world which hath the victory , and doth overcome ; by which you come to the end of the world , marke to its end . And now all freinds look upon the sufferings that hath been since the Fall and since the world began . And again look upon the Valiant Prisoners and such as stood with the Lord and for the Lord ; and followed , and obeyed his movings , and motions , and Commands with victories they had ; how they tryumphed in the Lord over that which was against the Lord , for by Faith Abraham forsook his Country , and his Fathers house , and his national worship . And by Faith was Abels Offering accepted of God , unto whom God had respect ; Therefore did wicked Cain persecute , and kill him about his Religion , and this was not long after man was fallen from the righteousness and the power , and the Image of God which man was made in . And by the Faith , and the power and wisdome of God did Moses goe down and speak to Pharaoh the King of Egypt , and through the power and Hand and Arme of God lead them out of Egypt , which signifies misery , Thraldom , and Bondage thereby , afterwards when they were come out , and had tasted the power of God , many fell . And Moses saw Christ the great Prophet that was to come , which was to build his House ( as Moses by the wisdome of God had done his in the time of the Law , with Types , Figures , and Shadows ) and so look upon Moses how he Conquered all the Magicians , and comprehended all the Sorcerers ; and Southsayers , and Pharachs Religion and their worship ; and could not bow nor bend unto it .

Look upon Ioseph who through the emnity in his Brethern was sould into Egypty who underwent reproach and imprisonment ; unto whom God gave power over all at last , and confounded all the Wise men and the national Worshippers in Egypt , and came in favour over them all by the power of God : And remember Abraham who was in the Faith and the fear of God , and how Abimalths house for his sake God plagued . Therefore keep in the faith of Abraham ; then who wrongs you the hand of the Lord will turne against them , and whilest they stood in the power of God what victories they had over their Enemies , as instance Samson , David , and Saul ; But when any went from the command of God , how under the Heathen they fell . So now ye who are come to Gods power , which goes over the power of darkness , and before it was ; in that stand , tryumph , and trample who are come to the end of carnal . weapons and striving with outward Armes ; And ye may look upon them how valliant they were over the Philistines both Samson and David , and his mighty men when they were in the power of God , and how Davids three mighty men , broke through a whole Host to fetch water to refresh the Seed ( David : ) Therefore now ye in the power of the Lord ( and the mighty God ) which goes over all the Philistines of the Earth with Carnal weapons as there they in the time of the Law did with Carnal weapons . And how often Iacobs Well was stopped up ( the beloved of God the second birth , ) by the Philistines , but Iacob did thresh the Mountains , as he did arise , and drove them away by which he might drink again . So read this in the substance who are come to the second birth , that goes over Esau and the Philistines both before they were ; And also remember how the Prophets were Imprisoned , and put in Dungeons , and Stocks , &c. As in particular Ieremiah , and how they were mocked , and scoffed at , and reproached for declaring against the fins , and wickedness of the times , both by Rulers , Teachers , and people ; and yet by the power of God they were carried through , and over all : and the Cry was then Cursed is he that puts his trust in man , or feared man , or the Arme of Flesh , &c.

So remember Daniel , and the three Children though Prisoners , yet could not bow to the National worship , and so were cast into the firy Furnace , and the Den of Lyons , whom the Lord God gave Dominion over their Enemies , and confounded the National worshippers , with all the Magicians , and made the King to change his Decree , and Law ; and this was in the Babylonish Monarchy ; and when the Medes and Persians got up , the power was changed , then they cast Daniel into the Den of Lyons because he prayed to his God contrary to the Kings Decree , to whom God appeared again and confounded them all , and made the King or Emperour to change his Decree : Therefore to keep faith in the power of God ; for that is it by which the Elders of old obteined a good report ; And consider Mordecay who stood faithful and could not bow to proud flesh though it was in danger of destroying all the Iews , whom through obedience to God he gave him victory by which he came to answer the good in all people . Now consider they that came to profess Christ who was the Substance before the Types , figures , and shadows which were held up by the Iews in the Law and first Covenant and Preisthood and Ordinances ( which Christ the Substance came to end ) how that I say the Christians of old by that kinde of people the Iews as you do now suffer the most , and have done by them that are the greatest professors of Christs words , but out of the life and power of Christ , and the Apostles and Saints were in , in the Primitive times .

So it is no new thing , and as Solomon saith here is no new thing under the Sun , for it is not a new thing for the birth that is born after the flesh to persecute the Birth that is born after the Spirit ; And look upon the Apostles and consider how they suffered ( and by whom ) that bore testimony to the Substance , their sufferings were by such as were in the husks , shadows , inventions , and rudiments of the world , and such as were fallen from Gods righteousness , Image and holiness , and not in the renewed State . And consider how that the Hebrews suffered the spoyling of their goods by the Hebrews who were called Iews , as ye may read it in the Epistle to the Hebrews , for ye read in few of the Epistles that the Gentiles suffered the spoyling of their goods ( or the Christians by the Gentiles , ) but by the Iews the great professors as you do and have done in these days .

And consider how the Witness hath been slain and ( the true Church ) the woman went into the Wilderness , sled , who was persecuted , and how she hath been fed there of God , and how since that time the Beast and Dragons worship hath been up and the false Prophet , and the Whore ( the false Church ) which hath Riden on the Beast in the Dragons power whom the people have worshipped ; who hath caused all Nations to drink of the Whores Cup of Fornication ; Now you that have appeared in the end and behinde all the Worships of the Beast , and after the Worship of the Dragon , who comes now to fathom the Whore ( the false Church ) and the false Prophets , and comes to see the power , and to feel it , and to be in it that takes them and cast them alive into the Lake of fire ( which hath been worshiped ) and burns the Whores flesh with fire , which power gives them Dominion over them all to see to the very Apostles days what they were in and what hath got up since , for it is above sixteen hundred years since the false Prophets , and Antichrists came in ( therefore they may plead Antiquity , ) Now with the power of God , ye may look what raikes they have playd in the world since the primative times in the Apostacy : But now is the Bride coming up out of the Wilderness , and the Prophet is risen and arising that the everlasting Gospel shall be , and is preached again to all Nations , Kindreds , Tongues , and peoples , and they that dwell upon the Earth ; and the Reapers are going forth to reap people down and up to God , and bring them into the Barne , and to gather the Wheat into the Gamer . And people shall come to worship God that made Heaven and Earth , the Sea and all that is therein ; the Beasts Worship is falling , and Dragons Worship , and the great Whores Church is falling ( the true woman is coming up ) false Prephets are falling , true Prophets and true Witnesses rising , and risen ; Sing tryumph and rejoyce glory in the highest , trample , tread , and bow before the mighty God : Let the wicked bow before the gates of the Righteous , sing and rejoyce , the Heaven of Heavens praise the Lord . Now as the Dragons Worship , Beast , false Church , false Prophet is taken , the old Dragon cast into the Lake of fire , ( and with him the false Prophets ) and the flesh of the Whore burnt , Reap out , reap out , reap out I say ( with the power of God ) ye Reapers unto the Lord , for here is the day of Harvest , for as the other falls the day of Harvest is known , a day of gathering , for it is that which hath inwardly ravened , that hath scattered . For the inwardly ravenors , the Wolves in Sheeps cloathing , whose fruits have been Bryers & Thorns and Thistles , are them which have made up the false Church , the Whore , the false Prophets , and the Beasts worship , and the Dragons worship out of the truth , which have made the world like a Wilderness , overgrown with Thistles , Thorns , and Bryars , in which lodgeth the Wolves and Dragons , which the beginning of this ravening into this state was a matter of sixteen hundred years since , amongst whom is found the blood of the Martyers , Prophets , and Saints in the faith , and in the Testimony of Jesus ; in this dark night of Apostacy , seperation degeneration , with all their compelling Worships , inventions , Laws , Traditions , Churches rudiments to be observed , and Cups for people to drink ; in these ( I say ) and amongst these have the Righteous suffered since the days of the Apostles : and amongst them is the blood of the Martyrs , and the Prophets , and holy people of the Royal seed found , and by them have they all suffered , and from amongst them will God fetch his Royal seed with his own hand , and with his mighty power will he fetch it ; Glory over all , to him rejoyce and sing praises , who is now tryumphing gloriously , and bringing ye over with his power , that ye might see to the beginning before man fell , and know the state of the Iews in the Law , and the state of the Christians in the end of the Law , and the state of the Apostatized pretended Christians since the Apostles days out of both Law and Gospel , how they have gotten up and in what they have lived out of the life , and power the Apostles were in , and Christ Jesus who is the first , and the last , the top , and Corner stone who is over all felt , and lyes heavy upon the Transgressors , who is the Rock upon which the Lambs , leaps , and skips ; him all feel in you all then ye may all feel the first and the last , who destroys the Devil and his works ( which are imperfect ) whose works are Persecution and Murder , and Banishment , and Cruelty , and Imprisonment : For the Devil shall cast some into Prison saith Iohn in the Revellations , and the Devil was a murderer from the beginning , and a Lyer , whom Christ destroys , and his works who was before he was , and remaines when he is destroyed and gone , and his works .

Therefore in him ( the seed ) have ye life eternal , and in him meet together , and then ye are in the Pastures of life , who is the first and the last , who is over Death and the power of it , and the Pastures of Death ; So who be in this Royal seed comprehends the state and time before the Law , the time of the Law , the time of Christians , and the time of the Apostacy ; for the seed Christ is the first and the last , the beginning & the ending , and in the seed is the staydness , and the plainness of words and life , ( yet a mistery to all them that be out of it . ) And comprehends and sees the state of the sufferings before the Law of the just , the state of the sufferings of the just in the Law , by whom and for what they suffred , and also comprehends the state of the Christians who lived in the end of the Law , in Christ the substance , and by whom they suffered and for what ; even by such as were the greatest Professors , out of the life of Moses and the Prophets , which had they been in it they would have read Christ the Substance , and all them that testified of him , and were witnesses of him . And also comprehends the state and sees who are them that are Apostatized from the Apostles and the Church in the Primative times , who have been the sufferers , and who it is that hath made them to suffer , and for what .

So the measuring Line of Righteousness is in this known , and also the state now wherein the Lambs and the Saints shall have the victory ; and the rising of the witnesses , and the Prophets , and the Reapers going forth to reap the earth , and the womans coming out of the Wilderness , and the worshiping of God that made Heaven and Earth , the Sea and the dry Land ; and the destruction of the Devils worship , and Dragons , and the false Prophets , and the great Whore ( the false Church ) and the Saints shall Raign , and the Lambs shall have victory , and the Kid the Lambs wife shall be known , ( which is the true Church which Christ is the head of , ) So in this live that is in the life and power of Christ in Christ the Substance in which ye may know the first & the last , and the Gospel fellowship which is preached again , which Gospel is the power of God which brings before the power of darkness was , which hath darkned life and immortallity from people in which power , life , and immortallity comes to be brought to light again to people in which power of God is the fellowship , which is a mistery . So wait to know every particular of your selves , to be heires of this , and know your portion , the power of God , the Gospel fellowship , then are ye Members one of another , and living stones that build up the Spiritual houshould ; And also know the Cross of Christ , which is the power of God , which Crucifies from the state in the fall , and the Apostacy from that state , I say that Adam and Eve and all their Sons and Daughters are in , in the fall wherein that state they glory in the Creatures , and in their shame , and in their Inventions , or in their Strength , Wisdome , Riches . But the glorying in the Cross of Christ the power of God , the glorying is in that which doth Crucifie from the state of Adam and Eve , and all their Sons and daughters in the fall , and from that state all the Apostate Christians be in since the Apostles ; and in this power of God is everlasting gloryings , which is a Cross to all that lives as I said before , in the Apostacy , and in the fall , but not a Cross to them that be redeemed , and Crucified , for their glorying stands in it which is over all the gloryings in the fall , and all Creatures . So in the power of the Lord God , meet , waite , live , and dwell , and have fellowship , for in the power Christ lives : Therefore now you that are come to know the Gospel preached again which was amongst the Apostles , in which power of God you feel before the fall of Adam and Eve , where all things were good and blest in the beginning before the fall ; which after the fall , the Curse came which brought the woe and misery : So you that feel the Redemption out of the fall , by which you know the state of the blessing before the fall , how all things were good and blessed , and come into the same power that brings you up before the fall , and brings you to be gathered in the Name of Jesus , which is above every Name , and gathered into the Name of Jesus , by which Salvation is brought , and there is no other name under Heaven given by which Salvation is brought but by the Name of Jesus . So ye being gathered in the Name which is above every name , and also into the Name by which Salvation is brought , and by no other name ; in that waite , and meet , and keep together , so ye will feel the blessing of the Lord in you , and amongst you so farwel .

And consider how the Servants of the Lord , and his Royal people , and Prophets , feared not flames , feared not Dens of Lyons , or Dragons , heeded not Prisonments , Bonds , Banishments , whips nor Scourgings , nor spoyling of their goods , and their tortures , nor feared not their Saws of being sawed asunder , nor their Stocks , their Clubs and Staves , nor Persecution ; but chose rather to suffer reproach with the people of God , then to enjoy the pleasures of Sin for a season : and how that reproaches , slanders , vilfiing words they regarded not , but trampled upon such , and said the sufferings were not to be vallued with the Excellency and riches of grace , which they were made partakers of . And the cry was what shall seperate us from the Love of God , which we have in Christ Jesus , shall Death , shall Famine , or Sword , or Persecution , or Cold , or Nakedness , or Things present , or Things to come , or Heigth , or Depth , or Angels , or Men , or Principallities , or Powers seperate us from the Love of God &c. For by the powers were all the National Worships held up as they are at this day , which the false Prophets , the Teachers , and the powers joyned together then against them that were in the Faith , by which faith they overcame , and said there was not any thing that was able to seperate them from the Love of God which they had in Christ Jesus , marke Christ the seed who destroys the Devil and his works ; in which seed ( Christ ) ye come over the Devil the Author of all Prisoning , Persecuting , Darkness , Ungodliness , Unrighteousness , Unholiness ; Christ who doth subdue all things to himself , whose Kingdome is an everlasting Kingdome , and Dominion , an everlasting Dominion over all Dominions : And in this Kingdome , and Dominion have ye all peace where no unrighteous thing enters : And so in this ye come to be a free people in life , and power , and Dominion ; And there is no new thing under the Sun , for the wicked cryes , light is darkness yet ( as of old time , ) and calls good evil , and evil good , and truth errour , and cryes up the false Teachers , and Prophets , for the true and false Church and worship , and the feigned humility for the true , and the blind zeal for the good , and true zeal , now as in former days , and so it is the old Enemy of mankinde , and his works which the seed destroys , who Raignes Glory for ever to the Highest .
