and Josuah who were truely Noble and valiant yea and though the people saw what sudden judgements befell those Nobles that had perswaded them repented and mourned for their sins of murmuring and immediatly would needs have gone up and possessed the Land yet they found it was too late for the Lord was departed from them and had changed the time and given out a new decree Therefore those that went up presumptuously were smitten before their enemies as you may see all this passage Numb. 13. and 6. 14. Here was a heavy judgement upon Israel because they for their own good would not believe nor fulfill the Prophesies and promises of God but it was well for the Cananites for thereby they injoyed the Land fourty years longer And for certain there will be no peace to any in this Land untill the King come but fear upon the one and upon the other and their hearts shall tremble for fear one another yea men in Arms shall have trembling hearts and men in power shall have no rest Therefore I beseech you once more Noble Gentlemen to call him home and set him up ye have the power to do it and thereby to save a great deal of Christian bloud And they in whose power it is to save mens lives and will not do it must expect the like dealing from the Lord I could wish that such as sit at the Helm would consider the times Things strangely work that what a man may do to day he may want power to do tomorrow and what two Moneths time may bring to pass in such changing times as these may possibly amaze the world to behold Surely there will some strange news be abroad before the 20. of January 1654. be past Prov. 25. 1 5 6. Heb. 12. 16 17. Prov. 15. 23. Prov. 4. 18. Psal. 58. 3 4 5. I pray God it may be for the best and that some great person may escape the hands of his enemies It is true that fair opportunities misused or neglected often bring too late repentance and sometimes everlasting sorrow And who knoweth the value of a seasonable well spent day I hope that I do not speak this in the ear of deaf Adders neither do I doubt but these things are already thought upon by some yet as we say forewarning is half arming Therefore it is not hurtfull for any of whatsomever degree to have their dangers foretold But if like Cesar they will not believe then may such as be esteemed wise in many other things prove very unwise in the main thing as he did A Coveat for Astrologers but more especially to George Wharton Esq and concerning some passages in his Almanacks for the year 1654. MR. Wharton I perceive that there are two Almanacks come forth under your name for the year 1654. having two faces the one seems to be very much for the Romish Church and the other as much against it page 34. 35. you tell us that you believe the Romish Hierachy shall stand and do blame those that speaks against it And say that we of Brittain or England at first received the Christian Faith from Rome Also you blame such as apply the Prophesies in sacred write to this Mole-bill of England as you call it and to particular Persons therein who take upon them the name of Protestants and the rule and government as if this say you were the place and they forsooth the Persons onely aimed at by the Prophets Sir By this I finde you are more for Rome than England I wonder you know not better by Histories how that Joseph of Aremathea who was the most Honourable of CHRISTS Disciples Matth. 28. 57. 58. Mark 15. 43. Came hither and preached the Gospel before there was a Church of Christ at Rome and that he lieth buried at Glassenbury Besides him was not Thomas the Apostle sent hither about the same time who preached Christ to us as our ancient Chronicles declare And was not Lucius King of Brittain who builded St. Peters Church in Corn-hill London the first Christian King in all the World And was not Constantine King of great Brittain the first Christian Emperour in all the World Where is the like then unto this Mole-hill of England for had it not the Preheminence in regard of its first dominion above all the Christian World It may be in those times of the ten persecutions that some came from Rome hither for shelter and did preach but wee stood in no need of them for we then had preachers enough besides them onely in love we received them as Christian brethren And had nor CONSTANTINE by the providence of God gone over to Rome with an Army of CHRISTIAN BRITTAINS and CONQUERED the Tyrants there and elsewhere so far as the Citie of CONSTANTINOPLE which was built for the Honour of his Name else the Romish Church would not have had such esteem as it had by his means Therefore it is evident that the Romish Church was then beholding to England so that England may say to God and his Church I am like a green Fir-tree from me is thy fruit found Hosea 14. 8. and God say of England Vnto thee shall it come even the first dominion the Kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem Micah 4. 8. as if he should say to England Jerusalem hath brought thee forth thou art her onely daughter and her heir Thou art that new Jerusalem Rev. 21. 2. And hath God from this Mole-hill of England in those times sent such glorious instruments to comfort all that trusted in Christ and to settle them in peace And shall he not do the like now Or doth not the forementioned things predict that God hath a special regard to England and snew that it is the glorious holy mountain between the Seas And though Anti-Christ for the present plant his Tabernacles here yet he shall vanish speedily Dan. 11. 45. and shortly after from this Land the glorious presence of God shall go forth into all the world to settle them in everlasting peace and tranquility But Sir you wheel about in the second part of your Almanack 1654. as if you had met King Henry the eights Ghost in the way for it is reported that he at a certain time when his Parliament would not pass a bill which he would have done to extirpat Popery he came roughly among them into the Parliament house with his short dagger saying who is he that will not pass this bill and so examined them one by one till all said I to it thus did he awe them with his terrible presence and prevailed Then departing the house said unto them all good men all good men so it is like that you met with King Henry the eights Ghost which made you to change your note for in the last part of your Almanack pag 75. you say in brief from this Eclips the Pope and Hierarchy of Rome shall exceedingly suffer It is evident from holy write that a time shall come in which
opportunity to perform their desires And although Mr. Feack do affirm before his congregation that the General and Parliament as he calls it are yet in Babylon but he shall finde to his sorrow that they will inshort time obey the truth and come out of Babylon Therefore all ye of the Kings party give up your selves to God in prayer and serving of him with a holy and sober life not giving your selves to rayoting drinking swearing nor working of plots for the Children of this World are wiser in their generation then the Chilnren of God Luke 18. 8. and God would not have you to use any such wicked means whereby to establish your selves and get the glorie from him but rather to stand still wait and behold the salvation of God that ye may give him the glorie of your salvation And as for you that are Ministers pray and preach with fervencie of Spirit and by the power of the same Spirit laid down in the holy Scriptures glorifie God strengthen the hearts of the people in the Faith and thereby overcome your adversaries and glorie not so much as ye do in your vain Phylosophy Coloss. 2. 8. which by a faithfull Soul is of no more esteem in regard of the word of God in Scripture then chaff is in comparifon of Wheat Jerem. 23. 28. 2 Tim. 3. 14 15 16 17. And I dare affirm that a sincere plain man with his meditating and studying the Scriptures onely and conversing with the like shall attain to a more excellent power to maintain his Doctrine then many of you have so that for all your learning if ye be not so expert in the Scripture as he is he will overthrow you Therefore if ye expect the blessing of restoration Matth. 17. 11. Mark 9. 12. Acts 3. 20. 21. leave your luke-warmness and be more diligent in searching the Scriptures and in preaching them lift up your voice like a Trumpet Isai 58. 1. and 64. 1. to rouse the people out of their slumbering sins to be fervent in prayer that the Lord would rent the heavens and come down to deliver his people from the hands of their oppressours that we may praise him with songs of deliverance What is the reason that the Bride-groom doth not come Matth. 25. 5 6 7 8 9 10. Is it not because the Bride doth not make her self ready to receive him what is the reason that some of you count me a Blasphemer in what I say concerning King Charl Is it not your ignorance of the Scriptures Matth. 22. 29. What is the reason that though ye have the truth on your side yet ye are not able to incounter in Dispute either with the plain Countrey-men or Mechanicks or Heriticks of these times Is it not because of your ignorance of the Scriptures and Luke-warmness for ye onely desire to know them but afar off Ah this negligence will never make us happy ye shame your selves that Childe which neither by prosperity nor adversity will be brought home to his Father is a lost Childe Consider what I say and the Lord give you understanding in all things 2 Tim. 2. 7. If ye be the servants of Christ your word should be a word of power such as all your enemies could not be able to gain-say nor resist Luke 21. 15. Acts 6. 10. yea one of you should chase a thousand and too put ten thousand to flight Deut. 32. 30 31. if ye did but obey the voice of the Lord I must needs confess I speak these things unto you with grief of heart for seeing ye walking as men who have not the Spirit of courage and boldness as the Apostles had in adversitie Acts 4. 13 19. Acts 5. 28 29 30 31. I doubt very much what will become of you whether God will not cast you off and put into the Ministry men according to his own heart that will serve him with more diligence and fervency with greater boldness and courage not fearing the faces of men though persecutours I do not thus speak to all the Ministers but to the proud envious ignorant and negligent that will neither do the work of God themselves nor allow of such as do it for many of this sort I know there beâ— and some of them have come to cavell with me and to despise me because God hath made me more bold then they in delaring the Truth But suppose now that a man should meet one of our great Officers walking in the fields having a new scarlet Cloak and enter into discourse with him if the man in the midst of their discourse should snatch the Cloak off his back and rent it into twelve pieces and give him ten pieces of it again saying the Lord will divide the Army and give you ten parts thereof ye shall prevail would not such kind of Ministers as you condemn this man for his so bold an act Yet he might be a Prophet of God therein the thing come to pass as truly now as it did when such a thing was done by the Prophet Ahijah 1 Kings 11. 28 29 30 31. but these men are miserable comforters Again I finde a contrary spirit not onely in the Ministers but in the generality of the Kings party also some do suppose that it is impossible for the King to come in because say they these men now in power are so strong and mighty speaking as if they were the Sons of Anack by their account Numb. 13. 27 28 29 30 31 32 33. Others there be of Calebs spirit Numb. 14. 24. who speak comfortable words to the people and declare the hopefull things which they conceive surely God is well pleased with these and they shall injoy their desires But for the other let them take heed as the Lord saith Numb. 14. 34. Least they shall know my breach of promise And if our adversaries had regard to the works of the Lord against them they might see what is become of the most eminent of them that rose against the King How fell Essex Brook Hampden Hotham and his Son how fell Hurry Poyer Waller Brown Massey and Love yea Fairfax and Bradshow are falling how did all the Presbyterians sall out of the sadel whereis the five treacherous Members that withstood the late King at first It is true one yet remaineth to drink the dregs of his fellows cup Where is the great Ministers that preached the people into tumults and rebellion Do they not stink now in the Nostrils of those whom they preach'd up How is their glorious Parliament as it were sunk quick to Hell How hath Scotland and their great ones there been punished for their rising against the King as a just reward of their folly for of all men living they should never have done so how did the immediate hand of God appear against Marleborough it being one of the first Towns that arose in England and made them a wooden God to mock the King How is Coronet Joyce that first laid hands on
put the late King to death So it is evident that this little horn is not a king but a State that completeth the wickedness of the State of Rome and fourth Beast Good Reader take heed therefore of this Aspinwall and all such for this is not only a matter of life and death but also of salvation and damnation of souls and know for a certain that he either understandeth not or wresteth the Scriptures as you see apparent by what hath been already spoken so that he is both deceived and deceiveth others making them serve his turn in speaking for the present time be it never so wicked Now M. Aspinwall I hope you see it is clear that you have said a wrong foundation for your Fabrick or fist Monarchy in applying those Texts to K. Charls which doth further appear Dan. 7. 24. He shall subdue three Kings and this He you say is K. Charls How did K. Charls subdue three Kings Did he ever take any Kingdoms from any It is true by Birth he was Heir to three Kingdoms and did enjoy them to the great happiness of his subjects until that unreasonable Beast Parliament violently and unjustly did wear out his people took his three Kingdoms from him and his life too And did not that Beast Parliament v. 25. Change Times and Laws And was not that Beast Parliament destroyed April 22. 1653. as ye have it v. 11 And though that Beast Parliament be destroyed in part that is as they were a Body consisting of so many men yet the Parliament men being in Gods account every one of them a Beast by himself and are called Beasts v. 12. who though their Dominion be taken away from them at the time of their dissolution yet have they their lives prolonged for a season and time fit to call them to a further account and total destruction as ye have it v. 26. Again M. Aspinwall you may clearly see your error That K. Charls was not the little horn neither are the Kings of Europe those Beasts who had their Dominion taken away when K. Charls died For where is any of those seven Kings whereof you speak that have lost their Dominion But it is evident to all That the Parliament was that Beast or little horn and that the Parliament men are those Beasts who lost their Dominion when the Parliament was destroyed Further By this also the little horn appeareth to be the last Parliament The little horn had eys and a mouth speaking great things and looked more stout then his fellows v. 8. 20. Is not the eys their knowledge by which the late Parliament pretended to see more from Scripture then any other before them So that in their own conceits they were both wiser and stouter then any former Parliament That their mouth and Votes spake great and monstrous things even such as were never heard of before in any Heathenish Assembly of State so that all Christians yea I am confident some of themselves do now abhor the wickedness that proceeded from them 1 Sam. 24. 13. And as concerning the ten horns or kings there is no judgement to come upon any of them all but only three of them namely England Scotland and Ireland for they suffer very much and according to their sufferings they shall be exalted again to reigne with their King in glory Dan. 7. 27. For as you have it v 9 10 13 14. 18. 22. By the Ancient of days there is signified Jesus Christ and by the Son of man is signified K. Charls who in regard the Lord Jesus found him faithful to the death for the maintenance of his Laws in Church and State will make him Ruler according to the promise Luke 12. 42 43 44. over all that he hath So that this Charls Stuart thus being found so just a Steward whom Aspinwall doth vilifie is indeed that wise and faithful Steward whose seed shall rule all that the Lord Jesus hath for ever and is the most High on earth Dan. 7. 25. 27. and Prince of the Host or Prince of Princes Dan. 8. 9 10 11. 25. who under Jesus Christ is the only father and begetter of the fift Monarchy and his seed shall be chief in it for ever And the Laws of England both for Church and State as it was established in his time for the maintenance of which Laws he died even that Law shall go over all the earth and shall be the law of the fift Monarchy for ever And to make it yet more clear the little horn in Dan. 7. 8. is that Beast Rev. 13. 1. that hath its ten horns also as is evident by the mark in its mouth For as the little horn had a mouth speaking great things 1 Dan. 7. 8. 20. 25. so the Beast in Rev. 13. 5 6. hath a mouth speaking great things Again the late Parliament in Scripture is called by divers names somtimes it is called the little horn Dan. 7. 8. 20. somtimes the Beast Dan. 7. 12. Rev. 13. 1. and somtimes the Whore Rev. 17. 15 16. in regard of its unfaithfulness and trechery to their King Head Father and Husband of the Kingdom And as the Beast or Where was to be destroyed with its own ten horns Rev. 17. 16. so the Beast Parliament was destroyed April 22. 1653. by the now Lord General and about ten of those horns that afore defended them for the Beast was to be destroyed without hands only by the spirit of his mouth Dan. 8. 25. Dan. 11. 20. 2 Thes. 2 8. So that Beast Parliament a raiser of Taxes was destroyed without anger without battel without hands only by the Word from the Generals mouth Whereby it is evident to all who are not wilfully blind that the late Parliament was this little horn or Beast expressed in the former cited Scriptures But as concerning K. Charls himself there was much anger and after many battels fought against him he and his followers had many hands laid upon them and then according to the Word Rev. 20 4. they had their heads cut off because they would not worship and submit to that Beast Parliament And see how the holy Spirit long before takes notice of the Nature and Cowardlyness of this Beast who as before saith of them That they should be destroyed without hands that is without so much as one Box of the ear much less then to have a sword drawn against them And yet saith that this Beast should have its deadly wound by a sword Rev. 13. 3. 14. so that but only ten of their servants came into the House and spake to them not in anger the very thought of a Sword struck them all dead so that they who about nine of the Clock came into the House looking upon themselves to be the greatest Princes in Europe before eleven went out baser then the basest of all the people insomuch that the very Boys in the streets and the most vulgar sort of people did hiss and hoot at them as at the
THE BLOUDY VISION OF JOHN FARLY Interpreted by ARISE EVANS With Another VISION signifying peace and happiness Both which Shew remarkable alterations speedily to come to pass here in England Also A Refutation of a Pamphlet lately published by one Aspinwall called a Brief discripton of the fifth Monarchy Shewing That the late Parliament was that Beast mentioned Rev. 13. that this Representative is the Image thereof and that the fifth Monarchy will shortly be established in the Person of CHARLS STEVVART Printed in the Year 1653. THE PREFACE WHen the Lord sent Moses to the Children of Israel which were in Egypt he gave him two signs to shew before them that they might believe told him that if they would neither believe the voice of the first sign nor the voice of the latter sign then that he should take water out of the River and pour it upon the dry land and it should become bloud Exod. 4. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Beloved friends I have written two books sent them forth in print as two signs to the English Nation and those in power do take no warning by them And now also this book is going forth to shew that the water of their River must be turned into bloud I said in my Petition to the General dated the 16. of the last May that I would not willingly turn water into bloud nor publish that bloudy Vision mentioned in the aforesaid Petition which signifieth that we must have a bloudy War again and that Right must have Right though thereby all must be turned upside down again But now it must not be as I will I must publish it or have no peace to my Soul the Lyon hath roared who will but fear The Lord God hath spoken who can but Prophesie and publish in the Palaces at Ashdod Amos 3 8 9. 10. 11. the great judgement coming upon it from the Lord of Hosts for the Lord God hath sworn by his holiness That lo the days shall come upon you that he will take you away with hooks and your posterity with fish hooks Amos 4. 2. Then will you say Oh that we had believed ARISE EVANS and taken advise by his Books and Petition as many of the Kings party now mourn and tell me the very words that I told them 19. years ago blaming themselves for that they had no more regard unto the words then spoken by me which now they found to be true by wofull experience yea and some of your late Parliament men expressing their grief now do wish that they had considered my words and been perswaded by me but alas too late repentance is nothiug worth but like that of Esau and Judas onely brings despair Heb. 12. 16 17. Matt. 27. 3 4 5. for as the Tree falleth so it lieth Eccles. 11. 3. Therefore while the AX is laid to the Root of the Tree it is the best time to save it Matth. 3. 8 9 10. so before the judgement over take men it is the best time for men to do righteously and thereby escape the wrath to come Good Reader I hope I shall be clear from the bloud of this generation and leave them altogether in excuseable for why they have had more warning from me then ever any had that I was sent to speak unto for when I spake to the King and his party If they had asked me whether I had spoken any thing by way of Prophesie before that time Surely I could have said nothing to it then which might have been any ways sufficient to convince them because that I had not before that time been sent of God to any for to declare such things But now it is evident how I was called of God and sent to them and upon their neglect was sent to the Earl of Essex and after that to the Presbyterians and then to the late Parliament God confirming my words with as many signs as was required of me and also fulfilling the same always in their due seasons So that if this people now shall likewise refuse to hear me who have had so many witnesses to shew that God is pleased to declare his determinate will by me they of all others will be the least excusable for disposing me and so the least capable of mercy For have they not known how God by me declared the most remarkable things that befell these Kingdoms since the Wars began How that 20. years ago I declared the things which befell the late King and that I suffered 3. years imprisonment for the same How I declared to the Earl of Essex 7. years before he was General that he should be the peoples General against the late King Have they not known how that in the year 1646. I declared the downfall of the Presbyterians and suffered two moneths imprisonment for that also How I declared in the year 1651. That the Kings Son would come to England long before he came to Worcester his succes likewise How I declared to the late Parliament many times that they should be destroyed long before their dissolution And have I not declared to them in the last moneth of May that King Charles will come in victoriously this year 1653. and had they not a sign to confirm it according to their own chusing and desire Which sign was that if it did rain more or less 7. Sundays then next following successively they would believe my words And did it not rain accordingly for seven Sundays together as many thousands who observed it can witness although it was in the very drought of Summer and that there was scarce any rain all the other week dayes besides Also many other signs were given by me to several persons divers times in several places to confirm the truth of those things therefore to God be the glorie of all Neither was there any remarkable ingagement of late days either by Sea or Land since the people began to inquire of me but God was pleased to reveal by me the event thereof Surely if these men were either faithfull or sensible they might see the minde and will of God by these things but they are dead Ephes. 2. 1. They will not see Isai 26. 11. Isai 42. 18. 19. 20. But still say unto me Job 21. 14. depart from us for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways And now as concerning you ye murmuring people that meet every Munday in Black-Friers Church ye fast ye pray ye preach and complain that God doth not hear your prayers and ye crie to God that he would send the spirit of Prophesie by some one or other to let you understand the things to come yet ye cannot see them now when God sheweth you all these things by me his poor Messenger which are made known unto you by thos truths in my aforesaid books called the Voice and the Eccho and as in the last of them I said to the late Parliament about a moneth before they were dissolved that
receive the King in peace and if it be his blessed will that the Parliament and State would not bring utter ruine upon themselves and upon this distracted Nation Now after I had interpreted this bloudy Vision he was very well satisfied in his spirit and desired me to interpret the other Vision which he had within a quarter of an hour after the former but he said it never troubled him as the other did and I said it shall be also done for it may be there is more of comfort in that then there is of sorrow in this The Interpretation of the second Vision THen said I whereas you saw your self in a Field newly sown with Wheat That signifies that now there shall be a new Kingdom established again here in Brittain more glorious then ever was upon earth Jer. 33. 14 15. Isa. 44. 2 3 4. Psal. 126. 6. Matth. 3. 12. And whereas you saw a companie of milk white Doves upon that Field all in a round ring or circle The Ring or Circle signifies the endless everlasting and everstanding Court that shall be raised and established here again And the companie of milk white Doves signifies the spotless Nobles that have continued faithfull all this time Therefore both they and their seed shall Triumph gloriously in the Court for ever Isa. 66. 22. Psal. 84. 2 10. Psal. 65. 4. Song 2. 14. And whereas you saw one Dove alone in the middle of the Ring or Circle which did shine like the Sun in brightness by that Dove is signified the King who in due time will shine like the Sun over all the earth to answer the expectation of all Nations and fulfill the promise of our Lord Jesus so that Jews and Turks shall then acknowledge Jesus Christ to be the onely Saviour of Souls Psal. 68. 13. Psal. 24. â— 8 9 10. And after I had interpreted his Visions he called for Pen and Ink and wrote them and left them to my disposing but I desired him to get them fairely written and that I would get the Interpretations of them also fairely written and that he should carry them to the Lord General Cromwell and a Petition with them to shew his case and condition telling him that the General was a good man and would perhaps do something for him And then he was inclinable to take my counsel but two dayes after he came again to see me and brought his wife with him I propounded the same motion to him again saying that it was best for him to go with his Visions to the Lord General And he answered me saying That one Mr Wilde as he heard was then and had been a long time prisoner in Newgate for declaring a vision that he had seen and that if his Excellencie should send him to prison upon it both he his wife and children might come to starve by that means But said he I refer it to God and your disgression to publish it in due time according as God shall direct you Then I considered how I had prayed and that God sent the visions to him as a conduit to convey them to me and to answer my prayers and as a Talent for me to give an account off therefore I moved him no more to that purpose And the man presently after being much troubled in minde at his wants and crosses in the world went to Virginia with some friends of his to trie his Fortune there Now the reasons why I look upon these visions as an immediat warning from God to this Nation are these five following 1. Because he was not factious on any side or a seeker after new opinions but was well grounded in the true Christian Faith of the Church of England believing the truth of it and without dispute resting constantly in the same Faith that he was taught in at first and hence I do gather that he was beloved of God who shewed him those Visions 2. Because I saw that he had not a spirit of pride or revenge in him for although he lost all he had in these times for no cause but onely that he was peaceable yet did I never hear him speak a word against the Parliament or any other that had wronged him but contrarily sought for a place under any of them to get anywhere a poor honest living patiently waiting on God without any pride or thoughts of revenge 3. Because that after he had seen the Visions though he said to me that he was never so troubled before yet now had he no rest in his spirit untill he got a satisfactory Interpretation to them from me and then had perfect rest and peace in minde concerning the Visions 4. Because I saw it was the fruit of my prayers to God who since he called me to this his peculiar service never denied me any thing that was needfull for me to know and whereby to warn this Nation Therefore whatsoever others think of these Visions I shall look upon them as certain truths consonant to the Scriptures which suddenly will come to pass 5. Because that from the time I had these Visions thus left with me unto this present it hath been a great burthen to my spirit so that I finde it impossible for me to keep them in silence and have rest And although I had rather be a Jonah then a Jeremy in pronouncing of judgement and that England might become a Ninive and not a Jewry in matter of repentance Jonah 3. 4 10. Jer. 25. 8. Jer. 39. yet Gods decree must stand Isa. 46. 9 10 11 12 13. and the stout harted shall bow down to it ye stand upon your sword saith God And I will call for a sword against it throughout my mountains saith the Lord God every mans sword shall be against his brother Ezek. 33. 16. Ezek. 38. 21. Amos 5. 6. That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn my sword Ezek. 21. 5. Therefore be thou instructed Oh Jerusalem lest my Soul depart from thee lest I make thee desolate a Land not inhabited Jer. 6. 8. Now I have given you an account of these Visions to the intent that God might be glorified you profitted and my self eased of my burthen I shall endeavour to inform you further of what I see and discern in Scripture concerning this Nation but I shall direct my speech chiefly to those Gentlemen of the Representative now at West-minster and then to the rest of this Kingdom beseeching all of them to consider what I have said in my former books the one called A voice from heaven and the other An Eccho unto that voice and take special notice of the dates of those books and likewise how those sayings are come to pass since they were published and lay them to heart seriously and then consider that if I keep a clear conscience I must declare the truth Admonitions to all the People of this Kingdom but chiefly to those that have the power in their hands By ARISE EVANS MEn and brethren I beseech
