EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

ALL
DEAR
FRIENDS
&
BRETHREN
In
the
Everlasting
TRUTH
&
COVENANT
OF
THE
Almighty
Jehovah
Blessed
for
evermore
.
WE
the
Prisoners
of
the
Lord
,
and
for
the
Testimony
of
Christ
Jesus
,
do
bear
in
our
remembrance
with
dearest
Salutations
of
perfect
love
,
all
our
suffering
Brethren
every
where
,
and
also
the
whole
Flock
of
our
Fathers
tender
Love
,
whom
he
hath
elected
and
chosen
in
his
own
secret
Counsel
before
the
world
began
;
Dearly
and
well
beloved
,
our
very
Souls
this
day
,
are
deeply
affected
with
the
Cause
of
God
,
and
our
persons
at
this
time
are
engaged
in
these
Bonds
,
for
the
Testimony
of
the
same
;
and
truly
,
in
Soul
,
Body
,
and
Spirit
,
are
we
offered
up
to
the
perpetual
loss
of
all
,
that
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
saving
Truth
,
may
be
testified
unto
,
in
faithfulness
unto
all
the
world
;
and
in
the
Lord
our
hearts
are
resolved
in
the
confidence
of
his
Spirit
,
to
suffer
the
greatest
of
Afflictions
and
Persecutions
,
rather
than
forfeit
or
loose
,
one
grain
of
this
so
blessed
a
Testimony
now
trusted
with
us
,
and
for
whic●
,
we
now
suffer
these
Bonds
:
And
unto
faithfulness
herein
,
We
find
that
the
Lord
our
God
,
daily
increaseth
our
strength
and
boldness
,
our
patience
and
long
suffering
,
and
doubleth
his
Spirit
of
Power
and
Wisdom
upon
us
,
that
we
may
never
faint
in
Trial
;
and
we
labour
to
be
armed
in
our
inward
man
,
with
whatsoever
may
uphold
us
,
and
defend
us
in
this
day
of
our
Afflic●ions
;
even
that
our
faith
and
patience
,
our
holiness
and
meekness
,
our
long
suffering
,
and
love
to
enemies
;
and
all
Heavenly
Vertues
may
be
compleated
in
us
,
and
possessed
of
us
,
till
our
God
take
Vengeance
upon
the
wrath
of
our
Adversaries
,
and
deliver
his
(
now
)
poor
despised
and
oppressed
people
;
for
these
Vertues
are
the
armour
with
which
we
delight
to
be
cloathed
;
these
are
our
weapons
with
which
we
chuse
to
be
defended
,
and
this
must
be
our
final
Vic●ory
,
when
the
faith
and
patience
,
the
meekness
and
long
suffering
,
and
heavenly
Vertues
of
Christ
Jesus
in
us
,
have
exceeded
in
measure
,
and
superabounded
in
effect
,
all
the
unbelief
and
impatiency
,
the
enmity
and
ungodliness
,
in
all
that
hate
us
;
Love
shall
overcome
wrath
and
envy
;
Patience
shall
subdue
rigorous
Persecutors
,
and
hatefull
workers
;
the
very
God
that
dwells
with
us
,
shall
condemn
and
confound
the
wicked
one
,
with
all
his
might
,
and
power
,
and
malice
,
and
Persecution
,
cruel
Imposition
on
tender
Consciences
,
and
Oppression
and
Injustice
shall
be
no
more
:
And
this
is
that
Victory
,
for
which
we
spiritually
War
,
and
these
and
no
other
,
are
the
weapons
with
which
we
do
contend
;
and
the
Cause
is
God's
in
which
we
are
ingaged
,
and
for
which
we
suffer
this
present
day
.
Brethren
,
we
hope
ye
are
all
like-minded
with
us
,
and
that
this
same
Cause
of
God
,
his
Truth
and
Righteousness
is
fixed
before
you
,
and
is
your
aime
and
mark
,
and
that
it
is
alike
dear
and
precious
in
your
eye
,
and
that
ye
are
Armed
with
the
same
Armour
of
God's
heavenly
Vertues
;
It
's
the
breathings
of
our
life
to
the
Father
,
that
the
whole
Church
of
Chri●t
,
and
every
Member
thereof
may
be
kept
faithful
,
to
hold
forth
the
holy
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
by
suffering
in
this
great
day
of
Trial.
The
Testimony
of
which
,
we
have
heard
and
learned
,
believed
and
received
,
from
God
the
Father
into
all
our
hearts
,
is
so
precious
to
us
,
in
it's
evidence
of
Peace
,
and
Comfort
,
and
Justification
,
and
Salvation
,
in
Eternal
life
in
our
inward
man
,
that
we
compare
no
afflictions
,
nor
present
sufferings
of
our
outward
man
,
to
the
price
and
vertue
thereof
.
For
we
can
say
in
the
verity
of
our
Souls
,
how
ever
it
shall
go
with
our
outward
man
,
in
respect
of
Tribulations
,
and
Persecutions
,
yet
in
our
inward
man
,
we
possess
the
Peace
,
and
Comfort
,
and
Salvation
of
the
everlasting
God
;
and
to
bear
forth
the
Testimony
of
this
in
our
age
to
the
world
,
even
of
that
Love
and
Life
,
Mercy
,
Justification
and
Salvation
which
we
have
received
,
we
can
forgo
Liberty
,
Life
,
and
all
:
For
this
is
our
duty
to
which
we
are
called
,
and
the
end
for
which
we
were
born
,
to
bear
witness
to
the
Truth
,
and
for
the
holding
forth
of
this
witness
,
we
are
given
up
in
Soul
,
Body
,
and
Spirit
,
to
suffer
the
loss
of
all
,
rather
than
to
loose
this
Testimony-bearing
to
the
view
of
the
world
.
Wherefore
,
we
beseech
and
exhort
all
of
you
,
that
have
tasted
of
the
loving
kindness
of
our
God
,
That
ye
be
faithful
and
valiant
this
day
in
the
Cause
of
God
;
not
fearing
the
fury
of
the
ungodly
,
nor
the
threats
of
enemies
,
nor
the
terrors
of
this
world
,
nor
seeking
to
save
your
own
lives
;
but
in
the
faith
and
patience
,
pressing
forward
in
the
race
of
Righteousness
,
till
Mercy
,
Peace
,
Justice
,
and
true
Judgment
,
run
down
as
a
stream
,
willing
to
suffer
the
loss
of
all
,
that
Truth
and
Righteousness
may
live
upon
earth
,
and
the
worship
of
the
true
God
be
exalted
,
and
all
the
contrary
overturned
,
and
this
is
the
reward
of
all
the
Saints
Afflictions
.
Be
faithful
in
your
Trials
,
let
E●tates
,
Relations
,
Life
,
and
all
go
,
rather
than
the
cause
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
be
diminished
of
it's
Glory
,
by
the
unfaithfulness
of
any
this
day
.
Surely
our
hearts
are
zealous
for
this
matter
,
and
we
are
pressed
in
Spirit
,
to
encourage
all
the
Lords
people
to
put
on
all
holy
confidence
in
this
day
,
and
to
cast
away
all
unbelief
,
doubtings
and
fears
of
this
world
,
and
to
maintain
the
Truth
of
God's
worship
in
the
assemblings
of
his
people
together
,
in
the
strength
and
power
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Chri●t
;
even
to
live
in
it
,
and
to
dye
for
it
,
to
enjoy
God's
pure
Worship
,
and
to
suffer
the
losse
of
all
,
if
called
thereunto
.
We
know
you
are
not
ignorant
concerning
this
Cause
of
God
,
which
we
thus
affect
,
and
exhort
you
to
be
faithful
in
;
It
's
no
other
than
the
Testimony
of
a
pure
Conscience
towards
our
Creator
,
and
that
every
person
should
follow
Christ
,
and
obey
him
,
and
walk
in
the
light
and
life
of
his
Spirit
,
which
he
hath
revealed
in
the
heart
;
&
that
God
should
be
feared
and
worshiped
in
a
clean
Conscience
,
and
that
the
Salvation
of
God
may
be
testified
of
;
This
and
no
other
is
the
Cause
of
God
,
in
which
our
Souls
and
Bodies
are
ingaged
,
we
know
no
Ca●se
upon
earth
,
worth
our
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
,
nor
for
which
we
will
contend
with
any
,
save
for
the
Salvation
of
God
,
and
that
his
Justice
and
Mercy
,
his
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
his
Way
and
Worship
may
be
Exalted
upon
earth
,
and
all
the
contrary
subdued
by
his
mighty
Power
.
This
is
the
very
cause
compared
,
to
which
our
mortality
is
not
to
be
accounted
,
even
that
we
may
behold
God's
Salvation
going
forth
in
the
Testimony
of
it
to
all
Nations
,
and
that
Nations
and
Peoples
,
may
injoy
Justice
and
Truth
,
Liberty
and
Freedom
,
in
the
pure
worship
of
the
living
God
;
This
is
the
Cause
that
must
live
,
[
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
]
though
for
it
we
may
die
;
for
our
All
is
adventured
upon
the
same
.
But
whilest
our
hearts
are
pouring
forth
daily
Prayers
towards
God
,
and
Exhortations
towards
you
,
that
you
may
be
faithful
to
give
publick
Testimony
to
the
Name
,
Truth
,
and
Salvation
of
God
;
our
Souls
also
desire
that
you
all
may
eat
and
drink
of
that
spiritual
food
,
which
will
cause
your
inward
man
to
grow
,
and
that
your
own
hearts
may
be
kept
pure
and
undefiled
in
his
Presence
,
and
that
the
Seed
of
Life
,
with
the
fruits
and
blessings
thereof
may
fill
your
own
Souls
;
that
while
you
are
striving
by
patience
and
long
suffering
against
your
outward
enemies
,
no
inward
enemy
of
evil
lusts
or
affections
,
strife
or
divisions
,
or
any
thing
of
this
world
may
enter
into
your
bosoms
to
defile
you
.

J.
C.
And
Brethren
,
our
hearts
and
Souls
reach
unto
,
and
dearly
Salute
you
all
;
for
while
we
remember
the
Lord
and
his
goodness
unto
us
,
we
cannot
forget
you
,
no
not
the
least
babe
and
little
one
amongst
you
all
,
for
what
are
we
,
or
you
,
or
all
of
us
together
,
joyntly
,
or
apart
;
but
what
we
are
in
his
life
,
love
and
peace
,
that
endureth
for
ever
?
whose
Mercies
,
Glory
,
Riches
and
Goodness
,
as
so
many
sparkling
Diamonds
and
Jems
of
Value
,
adorn
our
Crown
and
make
it
Glorious
,
and
every
one
doth
shine
with
Lustre
and
Beauty
in
the
eyes
of
all
that
behold
us
;
and
whilest
we
are
so
Adorned
,
may
we
not
say
,
our
cloathings
are
white
and
fine
,
such
as
are
in
Kings
Houses
,
and
our
attire
no
other
than
what
becometh
Princes
?
and
what
ever
we
have
been
it
matters
not
,
except
to
set
forth
the
favour
and
goodness
of
him
,
that
hath
so
raised
us
from
the
dunghil
amongst
the
Beggars
,
to
sit
upon
Thrones
in
Glory
with
Princes
?
and
to
shew
how
the
Angel
of
Gods
presence
hath
saved
,
and
taken
us
from
our
begging
state
,
at
the
Rich
man's
ga●e
,
like
so
many
Lazaruses
,
bruised
and
wounded
,
from
head
to
foot
;
and
carried
us
into
Abrahams
bosom
,
where
we
are
at
Rest
,
praising
our
God
,
and
our
King
of
Riches
and
Mercy
for
ever
.
Dear
Friends
,
we
write
unto
you
all
,
that
you
may
partake
with
us
of
the
same
life
,
glory
,
rest
and
peace
,
and
not
only
drops
and
sprinklings
of
the
same
,
but
full
measure
,
heaped
up
,
and
running
over
.
For
you
are
our
witnesses
,
that
we
,
with
the
rest
of
our
Faithful
brethren
,
have
not
withheld
from
you
,
the
whole
Counsel
of
God
revealed
to
us
,
and
in
us
,
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
our
Lord
and
Master
;
neither
have
we
kept
back
from
declaring
to
you
his
Mind
,
and
the
mysteries
of
his
Kingdom
,
yea
,
his
hidden
mysteries
;
(
which
have
been
hid
in
God
since
the
world
began
)
and
that
in
season
,
and
out
of
season
,
at
all
times
and
places
,
as
he
hath
given
us
opportunities
,
and
required
us
so
to
do
;
and
that
not
in
words
,
which
man's
wisdom
teacheth
,
(
lest
thereby
we
should
make
void
the
Cross
of
Christ
)
,
but
in
plainness
and
simplicity
,
that
God's
Witness
in
every
Conscience
might
answer
us
,
and
we
unto
every
Conscience
might
be
made
manifest
in
God's
fight
,
as
we
know
we
are
this
day
,
and
we
have
our
reward
,
from
the
Lord
of
the
Harvest
that
sent
us
forth
;
and
this
adds
to
our
comfort
in
this
day
,
that
we
were
faithful
unto
our
God
in
what
he
committed
to
our
charge
:
And
now
,
what
is
o●rs
,
and
our
Brethrens
reward
,
and
Crown
of
rejoycing
,
but
this
,
That
you
stand
faithful
in
this
time
of
Trial
?
for
you
know
we
have
not
been
like
unto
those
who
have
begotten
into
the
airy
Spirit
,
that
so
you
might
be
alwayes
kept
in
the
uncertainty
,
ever
learning
,
but
never
get
ability
to
learn
and
perform
what
you
have
been
taught
;
for
what
we
have
received
from
Christ
,
by
vertue
of
his
Resurrection
and
Assention
,
is
perfect
,
and
hath
been
Ministred
unto
you
,
for
the
perfecting
of
you
all
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Sanctified
ones
in
Christ
Jesus
,
until
you
all
come
to
a
perfect
man
in
Christ
,
even
unto
the
fulness
of
the
measure
of
the
stature
of
Christ.
For
which
we
pray
,
and
desire
of
our
God
and
Father
for
you
all
.
Let
your
Meetings
be
in
God's
fear
and
Counsel
,
as
at
other
times
,
never
heeding
what
man
can
do
unto
you
;
but
still
be
you
all
followers
of
that
which
is
good
,
and
then
,
who
can
,
or
shall
harm
you
?
Keep
in
the
Love
to
,
and
unity
with
that
of
God
in
all
:
Let
the
witness
of
God
in
all
answer
your
words
and
actions
,
rendering
to
none
evil
for
evil
,
but
overcoming
the
evil
with
the
good
;
so
shall
you
be
known
to
be
the
servants
of
the
Living
God
,
and
followers
of
the
Lamb
as
dear
children
.
And
be
terrified
in
nothing
,
as
from
any
of
the
sons
of
men
,
that
can
befall
you
;
for
all
your
hairs
are
numbred
,
and
not
one
shall
fall
,
without
Gods
Providence
;
neither
shall
the
wrath
of
the
wicked
be
unbounded
;
but
what
ever
turns
not
to
his
praise
,
that
he
will
restrain
,
and
the
Day
of
your
Deliverance
hastneth
:
only
look
not
you
out
,
but
keep
close
unto
the
Lord
,
with
your
eyes
only
towards
him
,
and
not
upon
,
or
unto
any
temporal
,
or
visible
thing
;
but
alone
unto
the
Lord
God
of
Life
,
and
unto
the
measure
of
himself
made
manifest
in
your
own
hearts
;
for
unto
That
you
were
directed
at
the
beginning
,
and
in
It
is
your
safety
and
preservation
unto
the
end
.
J.
P.
And
Dear
Brethren
,
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
who
is
our
alone
Salvation
,
having
laid
the
thoughts
of
the
Cause
of
our
sufferings
near
unto
the
Secrets
of
his
own
Soul
,
uttereth
his
Voice
out
of
Sion
,
to
you
his
Children
,
in
his
City
Jerusalem
,
saying
,
S●and
up
ye
babes
of
my
blessings
,
and
you
sons
and
daughters
of
my
love
,
Gird
,
Gird
on
Strength
in
this
day
of
my
battel
;
for
loe
,
My
Banner
is
over
you
,
My
Standerd
is
with
you
,
My
Ensigne
is
displaid
amongst
you
,
and
My
everlasting
Power
and
Omnipotency
attends
you
:
And
it
shall
not
fail
you
,
I
will
not
leave
you
in
the
day
of
Adversity
,
nor
forsake
you
in
the
time
of
Captivity
;
for
I
have
Chosen
you
,
I
have
Called
you
,
I
have
Purchased
you
,
after
the
travail
of
my
Soul
for
you
;
And
Blood
,
even
the
everlasting
blood
of
the
Covenant
of
my
life
was
paid
as
a
Ransome
for
you
;
and
now
you
are
no
more
your
Own
,
but
Mine
;
and
I
cannot
be
Hid
,
nor
Separated
from
you
,
but
as
I
am
faithful
,
I
will
be
with
you
;
as
you
have
had
me
your
God
in
all
your
Tribulations
and
sufferings
,
wherein
I
did
bear
both
you
,
and
your
Griefs
,
and
all
your
Afflictions
in
the
yearning
Bowels
of
my
Tenderness
;
which
yet
I
will
Break
,
I
will
Break
,
I
will
Break
,
more
infinitely
open
unto
you
,
which
shall
melt
,
and
dissolve
you
,
and
make
you
stream
to
me
,
as
I
am
in
flameing
streams
of
love
and
life
towards
you
;
I
will
reach
you
in
your
Holes
;
Bolts
,
nor
bars
of
Brass
or
Iron
,
nor
walls
like
Mountains
shall
shut
me
from
you
;
but
in
your
Denns
and
Dungeons
I
will
come
in
among
you
,
and
walk
in
the
midst
of
you
,
and
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Comforter
of
your
Hearts
,
and
the
Rejoycer
and
Gladder
of
your
Spirits
,
in
all
the
times
of
your
needs
:
And
whilst
the
Yoak
is
upon
your
Necks
,
and
the
oppressive
Burdens
upon
your
Backs
,
and
I
bearing
both
you
,
and
your
Burdens
over
the
Raging
Seas
,
that
are
angry
at
my
Voice
,
and
troubled
at
the
Breathings
of
my
life
:
I
will
trouble
the
Hosts
of
the
Philistims
,
their
Horses
shall
fail
them
,
their
Chariots
shall
not
stand
in
any
stead
unto
them
,
for
I
will
Break
the
Wheels
and
the
Axeltrees
,
and
they
shall
fall
,
they
shall
fall
,
they
shall
fall
,
I
the
Jehovah
of
Israel
,
the
mighty
God
of
little
Jacob
have
spoken
it
,
&
it
shall
surely
come
to
pass
,
and
you
shall
be
delivered
by
the
Hand
of
my
Power
saith
the
Lord.
And
therefore
sing
you
Lambs
,
and
Reioyce
you
my
little
tender
babes
in
that
I
have
Travelled
for
you
,
and
born
and
brought
you
forth
unto
the
day
of
my
glory
,
in
the
Glory
and
the
Excellency
thereof
,
to
witness
my
Name
of
Power
,
which
will
scatter
all
the
chaff
that
is
heaped
up
as
Mountains
against
you
that
you
,
whom
I
have
planted
may
prosper
as
a
fruitful
Vineyard
,
That
the
abundance
of
the
fruits
of
blessedness
,
in
the
power
of
my
Righteousness
,
may
be
brought
forth
in
you
,
to
your
Joy
,
and
mine
Honour
,
even
for
ever
.
Ah
Brethren
,
our
very
Hearts
and
Souls
are
overcome
,
and
ravished
,
whilst
we
consider
the
endless
love
,
and
everlasting
riches
of
the
favours
and
mercies
of
our
FATHER
towards
us
;
and
what
he
hath
ready
in
his
Hand
to
deal
bountifully
unto
us
;
yet
but
a
little
,
but
a
little
,
and
he
will
give
it
,
and
make
the
emptiest
Vessel
as
an
over-running
River
,
whose
Banks
cannot
contein
the
Streams
for
fulness
.
It
is
his
love
,
his
love
,
even
his
endless
everlasting
Love
that
over-powers
us
,
which
is
not
conteinable
within
us
,
but
must
run
,
and
flow
,
from
the
Movings
of
the
great
Oceans
,
as
the
swiftest
streams
into
your
tender
bosomes
,
that
you
may
he
refreshed
in
us
,
in
which
the
Answer
will
return
into
our
Bowels
,
and
our
Joy
will
thereby
be
augmented
,
and
increased
:
And
we
trust
in
the
pure
living
sense
of
all
,
our
hearts
shall
be
always
full
of
the
praise
of
our
God
,
who
in
all
his
blessed
works
,
is
worthy
of
all
Honour
,
and
everlasting
Thanksgiving
,
and
Glory
,
even
of
us
,
and
all
his
Saints
and
Children
for
evermore
;
who
,
in
him
,
are
yours
to
serve
,
both
Him
,
and
You
,
in
doing
and
suffering
,
whatsoever
is
his
good
pleasure
concerning
us
:
And
in
him
,
everlasting
Blessings
and
Peace
be
multiplied
to
you
all
.
Amen

the

Month
1662.
The
Cogitations
of
my
heart
have
been
many
,
deep
,
and
ponderous
,
some
Moneths
,
Weeks
and
Dayes
,
concerning
his
People
,
which
he
hath
raised
to
bear
TESTIMONY
unto
his
Name
,
in
this
the
day
of
his
Power
:
And
Intercession
hath
been
made
often
for
them
to
the
Lord
,
and
a
patient
waiting
to
know
his
Mind
concerning
them
for
the
time
to
come
,
which
often
I
received
Satisfaction
in
,
as
to
my self
;
but
yet
still
something
I
was
drawn
by
the
Lord
to
wait
for
,
that
I
might
comfort
and
strengthen
his
Flock
by
an
assured
Testimony
.
And
while
I
was
waiting
out
of
all
Visible
things
,
and
quite
out
of
the
World
,
in
my
Spirit
,
and
my
heart
upon
nothing
but
the
Living
God
,
the
Lord
opened
the
springs
of
the
great
Deep
,
and
overflowed
my
whole
Heart
with
Life
and
Love
,
and
my
Eyes
were
as
a
Fountain
,
because
of
tears
of
Joy
,
because
of
his
Heritage
:
Of
whom
he
shewed
me
,
and
spake
unto
me
,
in
a
full
fresh
living
Power
,
and
a
holy
full
Testimony
;
so
that
my
heart
was
ravished
therewith
,
with
Joy
unspeakable
,
and
I
was
out
of
the
Body
with
God
,
in
his
Heavenly
Paradise
;
Where
I
saw
,
and
felt
things
Unutterable
,
beyond
all
demonstration
,
or
speech
.
At
last
the
Life
closed
with
my
Understanding
,
and
my
spirit
listened
unto
him
;
And
the
everlasting
God
said
,
Shall
I
hide
any
thing
from
them
that
seek
my
face
in
Righteousness
?
Nay
,
I
will
manifest
it
to
them
that
fear
me
:
I
will
speak
,
Do
thou
listen
,
and
publish
it
amongst
all
my
People
,
that
they
may
be
Comforted
,
and
thou
Satisfied
.
And
thus
said
the
Living
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
.
Upon
the
28th
.
of
the
3d.
Month
,
1662.
The
Sun
shall
leave
its
shining
Brightness
,
and
cease
to
give
light
to
the
World
;
and
the
Moon
shall
be
altogether
Darkness
,
and
give
no
light
unto
the
Night
;
the
Stars
shall
cease
to
know
their
Office
,
or
Place
;
My
Covenant
with
Day
and
Night
,
Times
and
Seasons
shall
sooner
come
to
an
end
,
than
the
Covenant
I
have
made
with
this
People
(
into
which
they
are
entred
with
me
)
shall
End
,
or
be
Broken
,
and
my
Word
is
Unchangeable
;
yea
,
though
the
powers
of
Darkness
,
and
Hell
combine
against
them
,
and
the
Jawes
of
Death
open
its
mouth
,
yet
I
will
deliver
them
,
and
lead
them
through
all
;
I
will
Con●ound
their
Enemies
,
as
I
did
in
Jacob
,
and
Scatter
them
,
as
I
did
in
Israel
,
in
the
dayes
of
Old
;
I
will
take
their
Enemies
,
and
I
will
hurle
them
hither
,
and
thither
from
me
,
even
as
stories
are
hurled
out
of
a
Sling
;
and
the
memorial
of
this
Nation
,
which
is
holy
unto
me
,
shall
Never
be
Rooted
out
,
but
shall
Live
through
Ages
,
as
A
cloud
of
Witnesses
in
Generations
to
come
.
I
have
brought
them
to
the
birth
,
I
have
brought
them
forth
,
I
have
swadled
them
,
and
they
are
Mine
;
I
will
nourish
them
,
and
carry
them
as
on
Eagles
wings
;
and
though
Clouds
gather
against
them
,
I
will
make
my
way
Through
them
,
and
though
darkness
gather
together
on
a
heap
,
and
Tempests
gender
,
I
will
Scatter
them
as
with
an
East
wind
,
and
Nations
shall
know
they
are
My
Inheritance
,
and
they
shall
know
I
am
the
Living
God
,
who
will
plead
their
Cause
withall
that
Rise
up
in
Opposition
against
them
.
These
Words
are
Holy
,
Faithful
,
Eternal
,
Good
,
and
True.
Blessed
are
they
that
Hear
and
Believe
unto
the
End.
And
because
of
them
no
strength
was
left
in
me
for
a
while
;
but
at
last
,
my
Heart
was
filled
with
Joy
,
even
as
when
the
Ark
of
God
was
brought
from
the
house
of
Obed
Edom
,
when
David
danced
before
it
for
Gladness
,
and
Israel
shouted
for
Joy.
