EVerlastingly
beloved

Followers

him
who

you
may
sit
down

with
Abraham

the

precious
faith
,
for
which
we
earnestly
contend

last
dayes
,
with
respect
to
that
recompence
of
reward
,
which
is
appointed
of
the
Father
,
for
the
Seed
,
which
he
hath
blessed
.
Oh
my
Deare
,
and
eternall
beloved
Friends
,
and
fellow
Citizens
,
a
people
saved
by
the
Lord
;
and
known
to
him
,
of
all
the
families
of
the
earth
,
who
is
like
unto
you
?
how
amiable
is
your
habitation
,
and
how
pleasant
is
your
dwelling
place
?
how
delightfull
is
it
to
meet
with
you
in
the
Tabernacle
which
God
hath
pitched
amongst
you
,
even
as
Lillies
among
Thornes
,
are
you
set
before
me
,
who
are
found
walking
in
the
truth
,
and
faithfull
to
the
Lord
,
and
as
fruitfull
Trees
,
among
the
Trees
of
the
Forrest
,
faire
,
and
fresh
,
greene
,
and
lively
;
yea
verily
in
the
light
of
life
doe
I
behold
you
,
in
the
beloved
,
as
vessels
of
honour
,
sanctified
,
and
made
meet
for
the
Masters
use
,
although
you
were
taken
out
of
the
same
Lump
,
and
hewed
from
the
same
Rock
,
and
of
the
same
earth
,
bloud
,
and
offspring
,
that
they
are
of
,
who
yet
remaine
vessels
of
wrath
,
in
the
unconverted
estate
,
separated
from
the
Lord
as
reprobate
Silver
.
Surely
,
the
Lord
whom
you
have
sought
,
and
for
whom
you
have
waited
,
hath
done
great
things
for
you
,
yea
,
mighty
things
hath
his
right
hand
brought
to
passe
,
amongst
you
,
glory
to
his
name
for
evermore
:
My
beloved
and
longed
for
in
the
Lord
,
let
the
high
,
holy
,
and
honourable
call
of
God
,
which
hath
reached
unto
you
be
answered
by
you
,
with
pure
obedience
,
and

kindnesse
with
faithfullnesse
,
let
his
manifold
mercies
be
had
in
an
everlasting
remembrance
,
and
declare
his
noble
Acts
unto
your
children
,
that
they
may
tell
it
to
another
Generation
,
that
so
in
Ages
to
come
,
you
may
manifestly
be
declared
to
be
a
chosen
generation
,
an
holy
nation
,
a
peculiar
people
,
saved
by
the
Lord
,
and
sanctified
by
him
,
through
the
operation
of
his
good
Spirit
,
which
was
manifested
unto
you
,
and
received
by
you
,
through
the
hearing
of
faith
.
And
Friends
,
in
as
much
as
you
have
many
dayes
and
months
past
,
inquired
for
the
new
and
living
way
,
and
now
in
an
acceptable
time
,
as
an
answer
to
your
earnest
expectation
,
the
Lord
hath
administred
an
entrance
into
it
,
let
his
free
love
constraine
you
all
to
walk
in
it
as
obedient
children
,
that
your
light
may
shine
forth
as
the
light
of
seaven
dayes
,
to
the
astonishment
of
the
adversaries
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
stopping
of
all
slanderous
mouthes
,
whose
practise
is
to
blaspheme
God
,
and
his
Tabernacle
,
and
them
that
dwell
in
heaven
;
for
the
Lord
is
risen
in
glory
,
and
in
great
Majesty
,
to
shake
all
Nations
,
and
to
staine
the
glory
of
all
flesh
,
to
assemble
the
outcasts
of
Israel
,
to
comfort
the
mourners
in
Sion
,
and
to
proclaime
liberty
to
the
Captives
,
who
hath
shewed
you
the
path
of
life
,
and
guided
your
feet
into
the
way
of
peace
,
who
is
giving
beautifull
garments
instead
of
ashes
,
even
the
garment
of
praise
,
for
the
spirit
of
heavinesse
;
yea
,
I
bear
you
record
,
your
light
is
come
,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
the
Lord
,
is
arising
among
you
,
and
upon
you
,
in
the
day
of
the
visitation
of
his
everlasting
love
;
and
this
one
thing
the
Lord
requires
of
you
,
that
is
,
to
obey
his
Voyce
,
and
the
way
to
manifest
your
obedience
,
is
to
walk
humbly
with
him
,
in
a
holy
life
,
and
in
a
chast
conversation
,
in
your
place
and
callings
,
according
to
your
measure
of
the
free
gift
of
God
communicated
unto
you
,
and
manifested
in
you
to
profit
withall
;
and
that
you
may
be
filled
,
with
the
spirit
of
wisdome
,
and
furnished
with
the
heavenly
treasure
,
unto
every
good
word
and
worke
,
my
hearts
desire
and
prayer
for
you
all
is
that
,
Grace
,
Mercy
,
Truth
,
eternall
Love
,
everlasting
Righteousnesse
;
and
perfect
Peace
,
may
be
abundantly
multiplyed
,
and
increased
in
you
,
and
among
you
all
,
that
you
may
be
made
compleat
in
him
,
who
is
the
head
of
the
spirituall
body
,
the
Church
or
houshold
of
faith
,
which
is
builded
of
living
stones
,
upon
the
foundation
of
many
Generations
,
for
an
habitation
of
God
through
the
Spirit
,
that
in
you
he
may
dwell
,
and
be
glorified
,
and
over
you
he
may
rejoyce
,
as
the
operation
and
workmanship
of
his
own
hands
,
who
is
creating
you
againe
in
Christ
Jesus
unto
good
workes
,
which
he
hath
before
time
ordained
that
we
should
walk
in
them
.
These
things
my
Friends
I
write
unto
you
,
as
moved
of
the
Lord
,
for
the
stirring
up
of
the
pure
mind
in
you
,
who
knowes
the
truth
and
are
made
partakers
of
the
pure
and
precious
faith
which
was
once
delivered
to
the
Saints
;
and
hereby
I
doe
as
your
servant
for
Christs
sake
,
and
in
Christ
stead
,
exhort
and
beseech
you
all
to
attend
,
and
condescend
to
the
counsell
of
the
Lord
,
directed
unto
you
through
him
that
hath
loved
and
doth
love
you
unfeignedly
,
as
being
not
only
neerly
related
,
but
also
inseperably
united
unto
you
,
as
a
member
of
the
same
body
,
whereof
Christ
Jesus
is
the
head
,
in
whose
behalfe
these
necessary
things
are
brought
before
you
,
by
way
of
remembrance
,
not
as
if
you
were
ignorant
of
them
,
but
because
you
know
them
already
,
and
other
foundation
can
no
man
lay
then
that
which
is
laid
;
and
if
any
beast
or
false
prophet
,
out
of
the
Sea
,
or
out
of
the
earth
,
nay
if
an
Angell
inlightened
from
Heaven
,
should
bring
any
other
doctrine
,
or
preach
any
other
Gospel
among
you
,
then
that
which
hath
been
freely
preached
,
and
by
you
received
,
in
which
you
stand
,
let
him
be
accursed
,
and
receive
none
such
into
your
houses
,
neither
bid
them
God
speed
,
least
you
partake
with
them
in
their
evill
deeds
:
And
Beloved
,
believe
not
every
spirit
,
for
some
deceitfull
spirits
may
fall
in
among
you
,
whose
wickednesse
is
more
spirituall
,
and
their
iniquity
more
malicious
,
then
formerly
hath
appeared
,
though
many
of
the
like
spirit
,
and
principle
,
hath
been
denyed
,
and
declared
against
,
and
turned
away
from
,
by
some
of
you
,
that
have
known
the
Depthes
and
Wiles
of
Sathan
,
who
letteth
and
will
let
untill
he
be
taken
out
of
the
way
,
who
is
now
revealed
,
and
made
manifest
,
that
he
may
be
destroyed
,
and
cast
out
,
as
an
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
and
an
enemy
of
their
peace
.
Truly
Friends
,
My
heart
is
inlarged
towards
you
,
and
my
love
abounds
to
you
,
more
then
herein
can
be
expressed
,
or
contained
,
let
me
be
read
by
you
where
I
am
written
without
hands
,
and
let
this
be
received
,
as
the
flowing
forth
of
one
streame
from
the
Fountaine
;
In
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
I
write
unto
you
who
are
called
to
be
Saints
,
both
to
the
Ancient
,
and
Honourable
,
Male
,
and
Female
,
in
the
houshould
of
Faith
,
in
bonds
,
and
at
Liberty
.
Fathers
and
Mothers
,
in
love
,
feare
,
wisdome
,
and
moderation
,
rule
,
reprove
,
informe
,
instruct
,
correct
,
and
counsell
your
Children
,
and
according
to
their
growth
and
knowledge
in
the
truth
,
administer
unto
them
,
for
their
edification
,
and
confirmation
,
and
let
not
your
own
wills
,
or
,
a
zeale
,
before
true
knowledge
,
usurp
authority
over
them
,
because
they
are
the
fruit
of
your
body
,
but
look
upon
them
who
are
begotten
of
God
,
and
have
received
the
truth
,
as
upon
the
off-spring
of
God
,
and
equall
with
you
,
as
in
that
relation
;
and
if
they
be
such
as
have
chosen
the
better
part
,
and
are
made
truly
wise
unto
salvation
,
despise
not
their
youth
,
but
be
ready
to
receive
instruction
,
or
information
from
them
,
as
well
as
to
administer
to
them
;
and
if
they
be
such
as
be
out
of
the
truth
,
provoke
them
not
to
wrath
,
but
by
all
meanes
possible
,
labour
in
wisdome
and
moderation
,
to
provoke
them
to
love
,
and
to
good
workes
,
that
if
peradventure
you
may
be
a
means
to
gaine
them
,
to
the
acknowledgment
of
the
truth
,
in
which
you
have
believed
,
so
will
your
renowne
go
forth
amongst
the
Heathen
round
about
,
and
the
Lord
will
multiply
and
increase
your
off-spring
,
and
cause
them
to
break
forth
on
the
right
hand
and
on
the
left
,
to
build
the
old
wast
places
,
and
to
inherit
the
desolate
heritages
,
and
herein
the
Lord
will
be
glorified
in
you
,
and
by
you
,
and
if
you
abide
faithfull
to
him
,
he
will
make
you
an
eternall
excellency
,
even
the
joy
of
many
Generations
,
and
Crowne
you
with
the
first
dominion
,
who
first
beleeved
in
the
truth
,
and
whom
God
hath
set
as
the
first
fruits
of
his
creatures
in
this
Generation
.
Likewise
all
ye
Children
of
the
Light
,
who
have
received
the
truth
in
the
love
of
it
,
let
Honour
and
Obedience
,
be
manifested
to
your
Parents
in
the
Lord
,
and
for
his
sake
submit
to
them
in
things
pertaining
to
this
life
,
in
singlenesse
of
heart
,
and
receive
their
counsell
with
meeknesse
of
spirit
,
and
readinesse
of
mind
,
when
they
speak
according
to
the
Word
of
God
,
and
mind
of
Christ
,
that
the
precious
Promises
of
God
you
may
receive
,
both
length
of
dayes
,
and
peace
in
your
dwellings
,
the
blessing
and
presence
of
God
,
both
in
your
going
forth
,
and
in
your
coming
in
,
so
shall
you
be
for
ever
established
in
the
Truth
,
and
everlasting
Righteousnesse
,
and
the
Lord
will
give
you
a
name
in
his
house
,
and
within
his
Walls
,
better
then
that
of
Sons
and
Daughters
,
if
you
continue
faithfull
unto
the
end
.
And
you
that
are
Husbands
love
your
Wives
,
who
are
joyned
unto
you
,
and
given
as
meet
helpes
for
you
,
and
watch
over
them
for
good
,
to
instruct
,
cherish
,
comfort
,
confirme
,
and
establish
them
in
the
truth
,
that
you
may
both
come
to
be
joyned
,
and
everlastingly
betrothed
to
one
Head
and
Husband
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
that
here
your
union
may
encrease
,
and
your
offspring
may
become
holy
to
the
Lord
,
who
saw
that
it
was
not
good
for
man
to
be
alone
,
and
therefore
gave
him
the
help
of
another
,
who
is
no
more
two
but
one
,
being
joyned
in
and
by
the
Lord
,
which
thing
by
some
of
you
is
witnessed
,
according
to
measure
.
And
Wives
submit
your selves
to
your
Husbands
,
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
as
head
over
you
,
to
order
,
guide
,
and
counsell
,
comfort
,
and
direct
,
and
in
all
wisdome
,
meeknesse
,
and
moderation
,
as
meet
helps
and
faithfull
yoak-fellowes
,
behave
your selves
towards
them
,
so
will
you
have
praise
of
men
,
and
favour
with
God
;
for
the
ornament
of
a
meek
spirit
,
is
the
garment
of
praises
,
and
let
your
adorning
be
after
the
manner
,
and
according
to
the
example
of
the
holy
and
honourable
women
,
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
and
this
is
a
thing
of
good
report
,
which
may
stand
recorded
for
ages
to
come
,
that
the
children
yet
unborne
may
hear
of
your
Renowne
,
and
come
to
the
brightnesse
of
your
rising
.
Likewise
you
that
are
Masters
of
Servants
,
and
Rulers
in
Families
,
be
not
hasty
,
nor
high
minded
,
but
in
the
spirit
of
meeknesse
,
rule
in
love
,
and
in
the
fear
of
God
,
in
the
authority
of
Christ
,
as
his
Servants
,
and
not
as
Lords
over
Gods
heritage
,
for
he
that
rules
amongst
men
,
must
be
just
,
ruling
in
the
fear
and
wisdome
of
God
,
and
by
this
meanes
the
Lord
will
bow
the
spirits
of
your
servants
,
in
subjection
to
the
power
of
God
,
when
his
Law
and
Government
thus
comes
to
be
set
up
in
you
,
to
order
and
rule
your
houses
well
,
so
will
the
Lord
honour
you
in
the
sight
of
men
,
and
blesse
you
in
all
that
you
put
your
hands
unto
.
And
let
as
many
Servants
,
and
handmaids
as
are
under
the
yoak
,
be
subject
unto
their
own
Masters
,
to
whom
they
are
related
by
any
outward
Covenant
,
contract
,
or
engagement
whatsoever
,
serving
them
with
a
ready
mind
,
in
singlenesse
of
heart
,
not
with
respect
to
their
persons
as
men
pleasers
,
and
eye
servants
,
but
as
servants
of
Christ
,
and
subject
to
men
in
the
thing
that
is
good
,
for
his
sake
;
And
hereby
will
the
Lord
be
honoured
,
and
his
Truth
be
spread
abroad
in
the
earth
,
so
will
his
Doctrine
be
adorned
,
and
your
light
will
goe
forth
as
the
Morning
,
and
your
Salvation
,
as
a
Lampe
that
burneth
.
And
all
you
Prisoners
of
hope
,
for
the
Testimony

your

plead
with
your
adversaries
face
to
face
,
for
all
the
hard
measure
you
have
received
from
their
hands
,
which
are
full
of

I

this
day

being
a
member
of
the

fulfill
his
will

both
by
doing
,
and
suffering
;
And
so
unto
the
Protection
of
Israels
keeper
,
I
commit
you
all
;
and
as
a
manifestation
of
the
love
of
God
,
let
these
lines
be

DEare
and
precious
souls
,
for
as
much
as
it
hath
pleased
the
infinite
wise
God
,
who
is
pure
for

,
and
just
,
and
equall
in
all
his
wayes
,
who
loves
Truth
and
delights
therein
,
who
is
strong
,
and
mighty
to
deliver
,
and
able
to
save
from
sin
and
Sathan
,
bondage
,
and
corruption
,
all
who
comes
unto
him
,
and
waites
upon
him
,
in
truth
and
meeknesse
,
and
sincerity
of
heart
,
who
is
the
God
of
the
spirits
of
all
flesh
,
who
gives
life
and
breath
unto
all
,
who
made
the
World
and
all
things
therein
by
his
power
,
and
by
his
Word
which
is
powerfull
upholds
all
things
at
this
day
and
time
,
who
is
the
same
to
day
as
ever
,
in
Power
and
Majesty
,
his
Arme
is
not
shortned
that
it
cannot
save
,
nor
his
Eye
closed
that
it
cannot
see
,
neither
is
his
Mouth
shut
that
it
cannot
speak
,
but
he
lives
,
and
workes
,
and
speaks
,
and
sees
,
and
discernes
what
is
contrived
and
acted
among
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
men
;
his
living
Word
abides
for
ever
,
and
is
as
quick
,
and
as
lively
as
ever
,
as
powerfull
,
and
sharpe
,
for
the
cutting
downe
of
sin
,
and
corruption
,
as
it
ever
was
in
the
dayes
of
old
and
ages
past
,
according
to
the
Testimony
of
the
holy
men
of
God
recorded
in
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
as
the
many
living
and
true
witnesses
at
this
day
doe
likewise
testifie
,
and
set
to
their
seales
,
that
these
things
are
true
,
though
the
darke
World
doe
not
see
,
whose
eyes
are
closed
,
and
eares
stopped
,
and
hearts
hard●●ed
,
by
reason
of
sin
,
that
they
cannot
see
,
nor
heare
,
nor
rightly
understand
those
things
that
are
of
the
greatest
concernment
,
but
notwithstanding
the
blindnesse
,
and
ignorance
,
and
the
great
darknesse
which
is
over
many
thousands
,
so
that
they
know
not
the
Majesty
,
and
saving
power
of
God
,
but
are
laden
with
(
and
dayly
adde
sin
upon
sin
)
yet
a
Remnant
there
are
who
are
quickened
by
the
living
Word
,
who
beare
Witnesse
to
the
same
saving
,
living
,
powerfull
Truth
,
which
makes
free
,
and
seales
up
in
one
Covenant
of
light
,
and
life
,
all
such
as
live
in
the
power
of
it
.
Now
seeing
Dearly
Beloved
,
that
it
hath
pleased
our
gracious
Almighty
God
,
to
appeare
in
these
last
times
according
to
his
promise
declared
by
his
holy
Prophets
,
concerning
his
great
love
in
pouring
forth
of
his
holy
Spirit
upon
his
people
,
and
to
gather
them
from
off
the
barren
Mountains
,
and
from
the
mouths
of
the
Wolves
,
and
all
false
Shepheards
,
that
they
might
no
longer
be
made
a
prey
upon
,
nor
starved
for
want
of
bread
,
but
the
promise
of
God
,
is
to
feed
them
himself
,
in
fresh
and
greene
pastures
,
and
bring
them
back
into
the
fold
of
the
good
Shepheard
,
and
there
shall
be
one
sheepfold
,
and
one
Shepheard
.
Dear
hearts
,
both
I
,
and
you
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Sheep
and
La●●●
of
Christ
,
may
truly
confesse
,
and
say
,
that
we
all
like
Sheep
that
have
gone
astray
,
we
were
wandring
upon
the
dry
and
barren
Mountaines
,
and
feeding
upon
the
huskes
and
empty
shaddowes
,
even
as
well
as
others
,
but
for
evermore
blessed
and
praised
be
the
Lord
our
God
,
who
in
a
good
and
an
acceptable
time
,
did
appeare
,
and
stretched
forth
his
holy
Arme
,
and
gathered
us
into
the
fold
of
the
good
Shepheard
,
whereby
we
are
refreshed
,
with
the
favour
,
and
tender
loving
kindnesse
of
the
Lord
;
O
what
manner
of
love
is
this
,
that
even
when
we
were
enemies
and
Rebells
against
God
,
yet
his
eye
was
over
us
for
good
,
and
waited
to
be
gracious
unto
us
,
(
as
he
doth
now
unto
the
World
)
not
willing
the
death
and
destruction
of
any
,
but
rather
that
all
might
turne
unto
him
,
and
hearken
to
his
Voyce
that
their
souls
might
live
.
Deare
Friends
,
as
the
Lord
in
his
rich
love
hath
visited
you
,
and
by
his
grace
called
you
out
of
darknesse
into
his
marvelous
light
,
so
,
deare
ones
,
prize
his
love
,
and
walke
worthy
of
that
high
and
heavenly
calling
whereunto
the
Lord
hath
called
you
,
pleasing
him
in
all
things
,
waiting
in
the
light
which
is
pure
,
(
which
is
of
Christ
)
in
you
,
that
ye
all
may
receive
,
wisdome
,
and
counsell
from
God
,
that
whatsoever
ye
doe
or
take
in
hand
,
may
be
done
to
the
glory
and
praise
of
him
,
that
hath
called
you
.
Remember
and
alwayes
keep
in
mind
the
goodnesse
of
the
Lord
,
and
let
his
Word
dwell
and
abide
in
you
,
lay
it
up
in
your
hearts
,
as
a
precious
and
holy
treasure
,
so
will
ye
be
kept
in
a
lively
sensible
state
,
apt
,
and
fit
to
receive
instruction
from
the
Lord
;
The
living
word
seasons
and
keeps
the
heart
sweet
and
savoury
,
so
that
corruption
cannot
grow
there
,
neither
any
other
lusts
,
or
bad
thing
,
but
by
the
Word
it
is
cut
down
and
destroyed
,
blessed
are
they
that
keep
the
Word
of
God
in
them
,
such
shall
be
kept
in
peace
and
unity
,
with
God
,
in
the
light
,
and
there
every
one
shall
see
the
honourable
calling
unto
which
ye
are
called
,
he
that
calls
is
holy
and
honourable
,
and
the
calling
unto
which
you
are
called
is
likewise
holy
and
honourable
,
considering
what
ye
are
called
from
,
and
what
ye
are
called
unto
,
formerly
ye
walked
in
darknesse
,
and
had
fellowship
with
the
unfruitfull
workes
of
darknesse
,
now
ye
are
called
out
of
darknesse
to
walke
in
the
light
,
and
there
to
have
communion
one
with
another
,
and
fellowship
with
God
,
who
is
light
,
and
with
his
son
Jesus
Christ
,
who
likewise
declares
himselfe
to
be
the
light
of
the
world
,
in
the
light
is
the
precious
unity
,
with
God
,
and
with
Christ
,
and
one
with
another
.
If
we
walke
in
the
light
,
(
saith
the
beloved
Disciple
)
as
he
is
in
the
light
,
then
(
not
till
then
)
have
we
fellowship
one
with
another
,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
.
They
that
love
the
light
,
and
believe
in
the
light
,
and
walke
in
the
light
,
such
receive
remission
of
sins
,
such
worship
God
truly
,
such
are
of
one
heart
,
and
of
one
mind
,
and
soul
,
such
only
are
accepted
of
the
Lord
,
and
with
,
and
to
such
is
my
soul
for
ever
united
,
and
bound
up
in
the
Covenant
of
light
,
life
,
and
peace
:
And
unto
you
all
who
are
lovers
,
and
followers
of
the
light
,
is
my
heart
poured
forth
in
love
towards
you
.
And
now
deare
souls
,
as
you
have
been
called
to
such
an
high
and
heavenly
calling
,
mind
every
one
your
particular
duties
,
in
walking
answerable
to
the
Lord
in
every
thing
,
that
good
order
may
be
kept
amongst
you
,
both
in
your
meetings
and
solemne
Assemblies
,
in
your
service
and
Worship
of
God
,
and
also
in
your
common
occasions
and
affaires
amongst
men
;
something
is
upon
my
spirit
to
write
unto
you
at
this
time
,
concerning
these
two
weighty
things
.
And
first
,
Concerning
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God
:
That
which
God
requires
of
every
one
,
is
Justice
,
Mercy
,
and
a
humble
,
and
orderly
conversation
,
for
as
it
is
the
love
of
God
by
his
light
to
shew
you
his
will
and
mind
,
so
it
is
your
duties
to
doe
the
Will
of
God
,
which
Will
is
your
Sanctification
,
and
as
it
was
the
manner
and
practice
of
the
holy
men
of
God
,
(
who
were
called
in
the
light
)
to
meet
together
to
waite
upon
God
,
and
to
speake
one
to
another
,
as
the
Spirit
of
Truth
did
move
and
give
them
utterance
,
for
the
strengthening
one
another
,
and
building
up
one
another
in
the
most
holy
faith
;
so
it
is
now
judged
meet
,
and
good
,
also
usefull
and
necessary
,
for
all
who
are
called
to
be
Saints
,
to
meet
often
together
,
to
waite
upon
the
Lord
,
that
their
strength
may
be
renewed
:
So
Friends
,
when
ye
come
together
to
waite
upon
God
,
come
orderly
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
the
first
that
enters
into
the
place
of
your
meetings
,
be
not
carelesse
,
nor
wander
up
and
downe
,
either
in
body
or
mind
,
but
innocently
set
downe
in
some
place
,
and
turne
in
thy
mind
to
the
light
,
and
waite
upon
God
singly
,
as
if
none
were
present
but
the
Lord
,
and
here
thou
art
strong
;
then
the
next
that
comes
in
let
them
innocently
and
in
sincerity
of
heart
sit
downe
and
turne
into
the
same
light
,
and
waite
in
the
Spirit
,
and
then
ye
are
stronger
:
One
in
the
Truth
is
strong
,
two
in
the
Truth
is
stronger
then
one
,
and
so
all
the
rest
coming
in
,
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
sitting
down
in
pure
stillnesse
and
silence
,
waiting
in
the
light
,
a
few
that
are
thus
gathered
by
the
Arme
of
the
Lord
,
into
the
unity
of
the
Spirit
,
this
is
a
sweet
and
precious
meeting
,
where
all
meet
with
the
Lord
,
and
being
thus
set
waiting
together
,
if
any
good
thing
move
or
stir
in
any
it
will
be
felt
and
heard
throughout
the
whole
meeting
,
if
a
pure
sigh
or
groane
,
it
will
preach
and
draw
inward
to
the
watch
,
and
so
as
all
minds
are
stayed
on
the
Lord
in
spirit
,
is
refreshment
to
the
soul
,
words
which
are
precious
,
sweet
and
good
;
as
the
streame
is
sweet
,
so
is
the
Fountaine
,
for
if
words
be
good
(
as
it
is
confest
by
most
sorts
of
people
,
and
that
to
meet
together
to
speake
words
is
good
,
to
edifie
one
another
,
but
to
meet
in
silence
many
doe
not
know
what
to
think
or
make
of
it
;
Now
I
say
that
words
in
their
place
and
season
as
they
are
spoken
from
the
movings
of
love
and
life
,
are
good
and
serviceable
,
but
all
words
which
are
spoken
in
the
Custome
,
and
dead
forme
,
though
they
be
never
so
good
words
,
if
they
doe
not
spring
and
arise
from
the
good
word
,
they
are
vaine
and
unprofitable
,
but
words
spoken
in
and
from
the
life
and
Spirit
of
God
,
are
good
and
profitable
for
the
stirring
up
of
the
pure
mind
,
then
if
words
be
good
)
the
Spirit
from
which
good
words
are
spoken
must
needs
be
better
;
so
then
those
who
are
brought
to
a
pure
still
waiting
upon
God
in
the
Spirit
,
are
come
more
nearer
to
the
Lord
tben
words
are
,
for
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Spirit
is
●e
worshipped
,
so
that
my
soule
hath
deare
union
with
you
,
who
purely
waite
upon
God
in
the
Spirit
,
though
never
a
word
be
spoken
,
to
the
hearing
of
the
outward
eare
,
yet
in
the
spirit
of
love
,
I
have
unity
with
you
,
and
here
is
the
true
feeding
,
in
the
spirit
,
and
all
who
thus
meet
together
to
waite
upon
the
Lord
,
shall
renew
their
strength
dayly
,
and
in
such
a
meeting
where
the
presence
and
power
of
God
is
seen
and
felt
,
there
will
be
an
unwillingnesse
to
part
asunder
,
being
ready
to
say
in
your selves
,
it
is
good
to
be
here
,
and
this
is
the
end
of
all
words
and
writings
,
to
bring
people
to
the
eternall
living
Word
.
So
all
deare
hearts
,
when
ye
come
together
to
waite
upon
God
,
come
singly
,
and
purely
,
that
your
meeting
may
be
for
the
better
,
and
not
for
the
worse
.
And
if
any
be
moved
to
speake
words
,
waite
low
in
the
pure
feare
to
know
the
mind
of
the
Spirit
,
where
,
and
to
whom
,
they
are
to
be
spoken
,
for
a
multitude
of
words
in
one
particular
meeting
,
to
one
and
the
same
people
,
will
burden
the
Seed
,
and
bring
deadnesse
;
therefore
if
any
be
moved
to
speak
,
see
that
they
speak
in
the
power
,
and
when
the
power
is
still
,
be
ye
still
,
for
in
the
house
of
God
amongst
the
family
there
will
be
little
need
;
But
if
thou
hast
skill
,
goe
and
cast
thy
net
into
the
Sea
,
and
gather
as
many
as
thou
canst
,
good
and
bad
,
out
of
the
Sea
,
and
they
may
be
separated
,
the
good
from
the
bad
afterwards
.
And
all
who
speak
of
the
moving
of
the
Lord
,
I
lay
it
as
a
charge
upon
you
,
to
beware
of
abusing
the
power
of
God
,
in
acting
a
wrong
thing
under
pretence
of
being
moved
of
the
Lord
,
for
the
pure
power
may
move
(
and
then
the
enemy
who
goeth
about
like
a
roaring
Lion
seeking
whom
he
may
devour
,
he
presents
a
wrong
thing
to
the
view
of
the
understanding
,
and
here
is
danger
of
abusing
the
power
,
acting
that
which
the
true
power
condemns
,
and
yet
pretends
the
power
moves
to
it
(
and
this
is
a
double
sin
)
as
to
bring
forth
a
Bastard
is
a
sin
,
but
to
father
it
upon
an
honest
man
who
is
not
guilty
of
that
sin
,
is
a
double
sin
;
so
to
act
any
thing
that
the
true
power
condemns
is
evill
,
but
to
father
the
evill
upon
the
power
is
a
double
evill
.
)
Therefore
let
every
one
patiently
waite
,
and
not
be
hasty
to
run
in
the
darke
,
but
keep
low
in
the
true
feare
,
that
the
understanding
may
be
opened
,
to
know
the
mind
of
the
Spirit
,
and
then
as
the
spirit
moves
,
and
leads
,
it
is
good
to
follow
its
leadings
,
for
such
are
lead
into
all
Truth
;
and
thus
my
Friends
,
as
you
keep
close
to
the
Lord
,
and
to
the
guidance
of
his
good
Spirit
,
you
shall
not
doe
amisse
,
but
in
all
your
services
,
and
performances
,
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
ye
shall
be
a
good
savour
unto
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
will
accept
of
your
services
,
and
blesse
and
honour
your
Assemblies
,
with
his
presence
and
power
.
And
now
for
the
ordering
of
your
conversations
amongst
men
,
ye
are
to
walke
by
the
same
Rule
,
that
is
,
when
your
meeting
is
ended
,
doe
not
look
upon
the
service
of
God
to
be
ended
,
but
keepe
in
the
feare
of
God
,
that
ye
may
receive
Wisdome
from
God
,
to
order
the
creatures
,
that
the
pure
light
may
exercise
your
conscience
towards
God
and
men
.
A
time
there
was
at
your
first
convincement
,
when
ye
stood
in
the
crosse
,
to
the
worlds
spirits
,
and
could
not
conforme
to
their
Customes
;
many
of
them
have
stood
off
for
a
time
,
and
would
not
Trade
nor
deale
with
Friends
,
but
when
they
see
your
fidellity
,
and
honesty
,
they
come
againe
,
and
many
have
greater
desires
to
deale
with
Friends
,
then
many
of
their
own
Generation
,
because
they
know
that
ye
will
not
wrong
them
,
nor
deale
deceitfully
with
them
,
and
then
the
blessing
of
God
attends
the
faithfull
,
and
gives
an
increase
,
both
inward
and
outward
,
then
is
the
danger
of
being
lifted
up
in
mind
,
or
drawne
backe
againe
into
the
earth
,
so
that
the
earth
comes
over
,
that
will
choake
,
and
hinder
the
growth
of
the
Seed
,
but
as
every
one
keeps
in
the
dominion
and
power
of
God
,
so
that
the
earth
is
his
footstool
,
then
the
blessing
is
continued
,
as
love
to
the
Truth
is
continued
;
and
so
deare
Friends
in
all
companies
at
all
times
and
seasons
,
so
walke
that
ye
may
be
examples
of
good
unto
all
,
and
answer
the
Witness
of
God
in
all
,
that
God
over
all
may
be
glorified
,
and
you
by
his
power
daily
kept
and
preserved
in
holinesse
,
and
righteousnesse
,
out
of
the
Worlds
wickednesse
,
not
for
a
day
,
or
a
weeke
,
or
a
certaine
time
only
,
but
even
all
the
dayes
of
your
lives
,
for
this
is
but
just
and
reasonable
,
that
we
should
yield
our
members
servants
unto
God
,
who
gives
us
life
and
strength
,
and
all
other
good
things
;
glory
,
and
holy
praises
be
rendred
unto
him
,
of
all
that
knows
him
,
for
evermore
.
And
furthermore
,
Deare
Friends
,
as
concerning
these
present
overturnings
,
and
these
great
destractions
,
devisions
,
and
confusions
,
in
this
our
Nation
,
be
not
ye
troubled
nor
shaken
in
mind
,
because
of
these
things
,
there
is
a
secret
hand
working
in
and
through
all
these
overturnings
;
and
they
come
to
passe
not
without
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
,
for
making
way
for
greater
things
,
which
the
Lord
hath
to
bring
to
passe
in
this
Nation
,
for
much
is
yet
to
be
throwne
downe
,
before
Truth
and
Righteousnesse
be
set
up
:
My
advice
and
counsell
is
,
that
every
one
of
you
,
who
love
and
beleeve
in
the
light
,
be
still
and
quiet
,
and
side
not
with
any
parties
,
but
own
and
cherish
the
good
where
ever
it
appears
,
and
testifie
against
the
evill
in
all
,
where
ever
it
appears
,
not
like
the
children
of
this
World
,
warring
with
carnall
weapons
against
flesh
and
blood
to
destroy
mens
lives
,
but
like
Christians
,
with
spirituall
weapons
warring
against
spirituall
wickednesses
,
and
against
all
sinfull
and
fleshly
lusts
,
which
warre
against
the
soul
,
not
striking
at
creatures
but
at
the
power
,
that
captivates
the
creatures
,
that
so
the
creatures
may
be
redeemed
from
the
bondage
of
corruption
,
into
the
glorious
liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
;
so
be
not
ye
overcome
with
evill
,
but
overcome
evill
with
good
,
so
shall
you
have
peace
with
God
,
and
true
unity
with
all
who
are
of
God
;
the
God
of
power
strengthen
you
in
every
good
word
and
worke
,
and
perfect
his
worke
in
you
,
to
his
glory
,
who
is
blessed
for
ever
,
Amen
.
Given
forth
the
14
day
of
the
11th
Month

I
Rest
in
the
Lord
,
your
deare
Brother
in
the
Truth
,
watching
for
all
your
good
.
