John Audland his Epistle to Friends, from Chester City the 5th of the 5th Month.

DEar Friends and Brethren in the Eternal Truth of God, Members of the same Body, par∣takers of the unsearchable Riches of the love of God, which love endures for evermore. Oh! my dear hearts, press on in the strait way, forget∣ting those things that are behind: Every one of you in perticular, mind to dwell in the pure fear of the Lord, which will keep you pure and single, to stand in his counsel, that so you may reign above the Earth, and re∣joyce over the heads of all your E∣nemies, walking in the Light of the Lord; And dwell in the Light, and with it you will see and know all the wiles of Satan, who would lay snares

Innocent; and in the power of the Lord stand, that you in his power may have Victory. My dear Friends, what I declared to you when I was present with you, the same do I now write to you, and in the Spirit I am present with you; and therefore in the Name of the Lord, and in his fear, put on boldness, put on courage, put on strength, every one in your mea∣sure stand, and be faithful in the Work of the Lord, as his Witnesses against all the World, for unto this are you called to cast off every weight and burthen, and to run with pati∣ence the race before you, the way is strait and narrow, no unclean thing must enter, nothing that defiles must enter; unto this are you all called, to put off the old Man with his Deeds, to die daily, to forsake the World, to deny all, to lay down your lives, and to take up the Cross of Christ daily, and have no fellowship with unfruit∣ful

works of darkness; God is pure, he calls to purity. Oh! my dear Hearts, as you abide faithful, you are my joy in the Lord, my Prayers are for you; God is my Witness I make mention of you daily to the Lord: my dear and tender Plants of God, as you grow and increase in the Increase of God, my joy will increase; Oh! stand stedfast as faithful Servants, every one upon your watch, that you may pertake daily of the Joy of the Lord, and walk worthy of the Love, which the Lord hath mani∣fested unto you, watch over one an∣other in Love, in Bowels, in tender∣ness, in compassion to that which is pure; and rule over all deceit, tread upon it, and reign over it, dwell in discerning every one, and suffer not that to speak which is not of God; but all wait in Love, and walk in Love, and the Body edifies it self in Love; and the God of Peace and Love keep you pure to his eternal Praise; to all the honest in heart, I

speak, walking in the pure Light of the Lord, that you may have Do∣minion over all the Earth, and earthly minds: And so such I say, who are convinced by the Light of God, but doth not walk in the Light, How will you escape? The Lord is dreadful, his Terrour will surprize all Hypocrites, the witness of the Lord is against all such, and his Judgments will take hold upon you, his hand you cannot escape; I say to such, as I have often told you, yea, I have told you Weeping, such are Enemies to the Cross of Christ, and by him are you to be Slain, who refuse him, and will not have him to Reign over you; and there∣fore by the Dreadfulness of the Lord, I charge you to walk in Obedience to that which is committed to you, that every one of you may deny those things which the Light in the Con∣science bears witness against: And I charge you give no evil Example in

your Walkings, nor in your Mee∣tings; in your Meetings be watch∣ful, bear Reproof patiently, ex∣amine your selves, let the Light search you, and you will see Re∣proof is to you who doth not walk in the Light; and in your walkings be watchful, have no fellowship with the world; for that which is of the world, and you that have fel∣lowship with the world, cannot bear witness against the world: And therefore come out, be seperate, touch no unclean thing, and fear the living God who searcheth all Hearts, and his reward is with him, to give to every one according to his deeds: But to all you that are faith∣ful, the Joy of the Lord is your strength, the Arm of the Lord is with you, the Sickle is in your Hand, thrust in the Sickle, for the Earth is ripe, the Press is full, the Fats over∣flow, the Glory of the Lord is ap∣pearing to shake terribly the Earth,

Glory to him for evermore: Fare∣wel.

All my dear Hearts, my Bowels run out freely to you, I am with you daily in that which will never Wither: The Lord God of Power keep you pure, every one in your Measure, to his eternal Praise: my Love is to you all, and remember me dearly to all Friends every where.

Your dear Brother, a servant of the Lord, and in him can we never be separated. John Audland.
