OYe People,
called by the Name of the LORD, why seek ye to stop the Leadings of his pure Spirit of Life in his Children, that seek nothing but to serve Him, nor de∣light in any thing but to obey Him? the glory of this World, and the favour of men they despise. Why, why Cannot you let them have their Consciences at liberty to serve the LORD? In our Father's House is Bread enough; to Him wee must go; in Him our Souls take pleasure: It's His Right alone to Rule, and wee cannot give it to any other, neither can we bow to the Will of any, though because of that wee be cast out from amongst You; in Meekness, Love, and Lowliness of Mind wee can bear your hard speeches, but only as the LORD leads, so must wee follow Him. O the riches of his Love! who can declare it? Is the Cross now become an offence unto you? that none can truly take it up and escape reviling. Ah, my Father! the Noble Birth thou hast raised up, that must follow Thee fully; its joy and delight being only in doing thy Will, and thy Peace is reward enough: In the quiet retired mind let all sink down this day, and they shall know that saying fulfill'd, Not one barren amongst them, but every one bearing Twins. Oh, thou pure righteous Seed! who teacheth like Thee? Thy Glory is excellent, and cannot be given to any other. Oh ye wise men, quench not the Spirit, seek not to quench the Spirit, but let it arise in whom it will, and be not you so troubled, for as much as some there be that must be kept chast unto it, and are willing to lay down their lives for its sake. Many years tryal have wee made of it, and found the virtue and life thereof, and it a present strength in all temptations, its love and bounty in all sufferings. O my Soul, bend to none that would oppose its Leadings, it being known to thee the chiefest of ten thousund; yea, the Marriage of the LAMB is truly come, and the Friend of the BRIDEGROOM greatly rejoyceth to hear the BRIDEGROOM's Voice: They who stand and hear Him, have no desire to cumber themselves with many things, but to keep waiting in silence. O GOD of mighty Power, arise and reign in thy full Do∣minion, in the Hearts of all thy dearly beloved Children, who cry night and day for thy Presence, and nothing else can satisfie.
