that have gone before you nor turn the sword against the Just and the Righteous as they have done and caused the just and the innocent to suffer which God hath pleaded the cause of though they were blind and did not see nor would not hear the warning and the exhortation that was ministred unto them yet God hath said they shall see and be ashamed And God will plead the cause of his own just and innocent Seed that hath no helper in the earth which hath long suffered under the hard bondage of Egyptian darknesse But he hath seen the affliction of his seed and he hath heard the cry of it and he is come to relieve it So if ever ye will have the powerfull God to own you and honour you Beware of strengthening the hands of the wicked and the evill doers and of turning your sword against the innocent he is the same and he liveth for ever that hath said It were better that a Mill-stone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the Sea then to offend one of his little ones This word endureth for ever and will be fulfilled every jot and tittle though men make light of it and doe not see the Weight nor the Depth of it But when their day of calamity comes then will they see what is due unto that which hath offended this which God so highly prizeth Therefore as ye love your soules and your eternal peace beware what ye doe now ye are in place and Authority and now ye have power to act for God if ye keep your hearts upright unto him he will direct you And if your faces be towards Sion he will teach you of his wayes that ye may walk in his paths which will be out of the paths of the broad way that leads to destruction which all that went before you have walked in And that ye may be preserved out of the snares of the sowler which the wicked one layes for those that are in place of Authority as you are in is even the desire of my soule And if your hearts be not corrupt ye will be preserved For out of the heart proceeds evill thoughts Murder and Adultery Thefts false witnesse and Blasphemies these are the things which defiles the man That which cometh out of a man defileth him not that which entereth into him Read that neare and consider it seriously for there is a great weight in those words So keep to the just principle of God in you that which keeps you clean out of advantages out of time-serving and men-pleasing so may ye escape the Polutions that they fell into that went before you And the God of all power give you to see and understand that his righteousnesse he will exalt in this his day And oh that ye could believe in your hearts and confesse with your mouthes that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead then should ye be saved from the transgressing against the just For with the heart man believeth unto righteousnesse and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is borne of God and every one that loveth him that ●●●at● loveth him that is begotten of him marke this and read this neare So if ye love God which hath begot love that which is begotten of him in you and this will keep you out of transgression and out of persecution and out of sinne and evill and teach you to be a terrour to the evill doers not a terrour to the good but a praise to them that doth well And to this Word and Power Eternall and Immortall I commit and command you which is able to save your soules who in his time he shall shew who is the blessed and onely Potentate the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who onely hath immortality dwelling in the light which no man can approach who no man hath seen nor can see to whom be Honour and Power everlasting AMEN See 1 Timothy 6.15 16.
