for verily verily a great and terrible controversie hath the Lord God determined against the inhabitants of the whole earth and woe woe will be unto all them whose hearts are fixed in the earth and erathly things and take delight therein more that in the Lord that made them and gave all men life and being and therefore consider all people and see what your hearts are taking delight in whether in the Creator or in the creatures which will fade as the grass and perish in one day for all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man is as the glory of the field and suddenly vanisheth away even as the smoke before the wind and all the proud and haughty ones and all the careless ones who are at ease in the flesh whose hearts takes pleasure and delight in vanity they shall all be as stubble ready dryed before a mighty and unquenchable fire in that great and notable day which now draweth nigh wherein the Lord God will reveal himself from heaven in flames of fire rendring vengeance upon the head of his enemies and upon all them that slight and neglect the day of their visitation wherein the Lord waits to be gratious and hath mercy for all those that return unto him in the true integrity of their hearts and do in meekness and in lowliness of mind in the pure fear of the Lord waite upon him them the Lord will deal gratiously with he will take care for them he will feed them with pure food and he will water them with sweet pleasant does he will fight their battels for them he will subdue their enemies both within fight their battels for them he will subdue their enemies both within without he will break down the mountains and he will make the rough waies plain before them and they shall not be hungry neither shall they be thirsty neither shall the heat smite them nor the sun make them faint for the Lord who hath compassion on them he will lead them to the springs of water where they shall drink and be refreshed and their souls satisfied and this is already witnessed by thousands of them who are returned out of the darkness vanity and pollutions of the world unto the Lord and are joyned unto him in the covenant of light life and peace and are now become followers of the Lamb of God who is the light of the world and do follow him through the suffering state mockings and reproches and revilings of wicked and ungodly men yea moreover cruel whippings bonds and imprisonments casting into dungeons and filthy noysome holes and in all this we feel the word of patience which carryes us through all tribulations and so are willing to suffer with him who is a man of sorrows that with him we may also reign and this I certainly know that none can reign with him but they that suffer with him yet every one according to his own measure and not all alike but every one according to the proportion of the gift that God hath given unto them so all who are in the covenant of life joyned unto God do feel and witness the measure of the sufferings of Christ fulfilled in them and as their sufferings doe abound so they feel the joy and the peace much more to abound and the pure love of God they feel wherewith they are relieved and comforted in the time of great adversity when wicked and ungodly men rage and fret and the enemy makes his assault both within and without then the Lord he reveales his pure power into his children who trust in him and with it they are made bold and valient to the amazement and confounding of their enemies and so it is not by their own strength that they get the victory but by the power of God onely by which the Lord God keeps and preserves his children and servants that diligently in his fear do wait upon him who by the world are called Quakers to receive of his wisdome and to be filled with his power which is the sword with which they make war in righteousness and with it strong holds are broken down and principalities are spoyled and with this sword the power of God they do prevail and shall prevail and no weapon formed against them shall prosper for they are the seed which God hath blessed and all that do or shall rise up against them shall be broken and snared and confounded for of a truth the Lord is with them and his arm compasseth them about and though all the powers of darkness be stirred up against them in the Priests ungodly Rulers yet they shall never be overcome nor the gates of hell shall never be able to prevail against them for the Lord he is with them who is greater then all and hath-power over death and hell and wo will be to all them that seek to quench the appearance of the Lord in his people and therefore all people take heed how you strive against the Lord and against his truth which is now made manifest and declared by his children who are hated reviled and evil spoken of all take heed how you joyn any longer with the Priests and seek to hold them up for all that strive to build up them they strive to build up that which the Lord will throw down ye this will the Lord do whether you can hear it or not the thing shall certainly come to pass and their downfal hastens and the day draweth on wherein they shall fall and shall never be able to rise any more And therefore all you rulers of the earth and ye that are in the place of Magistrates and men in authority be you all warned that you all do that which is just equal unto all men even as you would that men should do unto you for this is right this doth the Lord require of you all I warn you all in the fear of the Lord God that you all take heed how you joyn your selves your power with the Prince of darkness the Priests whom the wrath of God is against to persecute these innocent people called quakers that hath done you no harm neither have they done any violence or wrong to any man but for the testimony of a good conscience and for witnessing and declaring against the ungodliness of the Priests and people and for testifying against that great abomination Tithes which was first instituted by the Popes authority among those called Christians have we suffered all this grievous oppression and afflictions which have been inflicted upon many of us by casting into prisons and dungeons and filthy places not fit for good dogs as the jayler of Evesham said to H. S. and I who were at that time in the dungeon which was not a fit place for a good dog he said besides cruel whippings stockeing and stoning in your streets and many have had their goods spoyled and in all this the Priests have
