A few Lines to D. B.

OH our dear and faithfull Friend and Brother, begotten of our heavenly Fa∣ther, right dear and precious in his sight, and beautiful before his presence. Dear Heart, we do glorifie our God in our hearts, souls and spirits, who hath called, chosen and elected thee to come up to the help of him against the Mighty, and hath carried thee along in so weighty a work, and hath prospered thee there∣in; praises be given to his blessed Name for ever, who hath inclosed thee in his Bosom and Chamber of his Everlasting Love, and hath hid thee in his private Pavillion, where them that would hurt thee cannot find thee, because of the shadow of his Almightiness, under whose defence thou art kept safe; and he doth carry thee upon the Wings of his Power, so that the Mountains do become plain before thee, which we do clearly see in the Light; Eternal Ho∣nour and Glory be to his Name for ever, who is called, Wondeful Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, in whom we have fellowship, and uni∣ty one with another, and none can hinder.

Dear heart, we do dearly embrace thy sweet Exhortations, thou being sensible of the insti∣gations of Satan, who hath winnowed us with every bait, winding and twining sleights that he hath: Praises be to our God for ever, who hath perserved us, and prevented him.
