A general TESTIMONY for Ann Whitehead.

DEar Friends in the blessed Truth, to whom this Trea∣tise may come, we tender∣ly salute you in the Lord, and fur∣ther declare and signifie unto you, that though these foregoing Christian Testimonies were written apart by particular Friends, as they felt a ne∣cessity come upon them, in comme∣moration of the Christian Conversa∣tion, holy Example, weighty Ser∣vice and blessed End of our truly be∣loved and faithful Sister in Christ Ann Whitehead, yet the said foregoing Testimonies are so concurrent in themselves, bespaking one and the same spiritual Sence and Judgment in many Witnesses, and so clearly agreeing with the general Sence, Knowledg & Experience of our Wo∣mens-Meeting

in London, to whom the Faithfulness, Labour of Love, Care and Diligence of our said Sister was well known, that our said Meet∣ing doth unanimously own and re∣commend the same to all our faith∣ful Friends and Sisters in Christ, of other Womens-Meetings, in this and other Nations. Though God is our record, 'tis not to admire the Person or exalt the Creature above its place, that these things are written & recom∣mended, but to magnifie the Power and Goodness of the Lord our God, and his divine Grace and Gifts in his Creature, as manifest in this his day, who worketh both immediately and instrumentally, as he teacheth and instructeth, both by himself a∣lone and by his faithful Witnesses, according to his good pleasure. The Holy One in these his VVays and VVorks is not to be limitted, but we ought to admire his great Wisdom, to consider his great Kindness to us

in all his Ways, and daily to pray un∣to him, who is the Father of Spirits, that we may both daily feel his im∣mediate Counsel in our Hearts, & fol∣low their Faith & Christian Example of Love, Peace and Concord, who have thereby left a good Report, and such lively Impressions upon tho Hearts of a Remnant, as may not be raced out, nor easily forgotten. God Almighty preserve us all faithful in his Work and Service, and in his pure Love, blessed Unity, and hea∣venly Order of his holy Spirit of Life, in Christ Jesus our Lord, unto the end of our Days, Amen.
