Prophet shall be cast into the Lake and be tormented day and night for ever and ever and the Lamb and the Saints shall rejoice over her with songs of triumph and Halelujahs for evermore Amen Rev. 19.2 3. So now you may read and see that the seed of evil-doers the birth of the flesh or spirit of Whoredoms did always persecute the birth that was born of the Spirit after Gods Image in all ages And here is now no new thing happened under the Sun but the same controversie as was between Cain and Abel though greater shall the Work be then ever in these last days But this is Cains and the Whores Mark in all ages and the Beasts that God and man takes notice of or knows them by Persecution about Religion Worship and Sacrifice c. as Christ said of the false prophets By their fruits ye shall know them Do men gather grapes of Thorns prickers or figs of thistles Read these things in the fear of the Lord God for they will add to the weight of the Milstone when Babylon sinks which day hastens as a Woman in travel and the wo must come upon all you who are found in Cains way and Balaams way and the Whores way as you may read Jude 11. ver But what will ye now do O ye sons and first-born of Adam in transgression God is raising a thousand Abels and Enoch is born again and Moses and Elias is come and the hearts of the children are turned towards their Father and the hearts of the Father toward the children and many are leaving the World and the Earth and travelling toward Paradice the garden of God again where Mount Sion is known and the King sitting upon his holy Hill Therefore let not the Heathen rage nor the people imagine a vain thing for it is so God is gathering his Seed from the four corners and quarters of the earth and his sheep from off all the barren Mountains where they have been scattered in the dark and cloudy day without a shepherd and he will feed them himself and the false shepherds shall no more make a prey upon them who have fed themselves and cloathed with the wool and eat the fat and pusht with shoulder and horns till they have scattered and not strengthened the diseased Read Ezek. 34. And who shall disannul his Decree or make void his promise and purpose The dry bones must be raised and become an exceeding great Army and Babylon must full and this is now doing with great noise and shaking Read Ezek. 37 7 8 9 10. And by the lightning the Earth with the power and glory of God Rev. 18.1 2. Which day is come and more and more approaching though you see it not who are in the night it comes like a thief upon you and will overtake you as a snare for so is the day of the Lord come upon all them that dwell in the Earth 1 Thess 5.2 3 4. Therefore in vain do you strive against God O ye Rulers and Teachers of the Earth who are in Cains way and Balaams way for his marvellous Work and Wonder must be brought to pass prosper and be perfected through the whole Earth in these last dayes It is not your Prisons Courts killings banishments or Inquisitions shall hinder or make void God's Eternal Decree which is established in the very Heavens Don't you remember how the grave could not hold him under whom your Fathers crucified and had from Prison to Judgment in the days past who is now again risen among us and is in the midst of us who gather together in his Name And this is the Word of the Lord unto you he is risen among us called Quakers and is come and coming in ten thousands of his Saints to convince the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds and hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him and to execute his Judgements upon them Read Jude throughout and this the whole Earth shall know in the day at hand for our God is risen to deliver his people and to lay low the haughtiness of the terrible ones and to scatter the proud in their imaginations and to make the Whore nake and desolate as a Widow without children and to exalt Truth and Righteousness Justice and true Judgement in the Earth that Judgment and mercy may meet together and Righteousness and Peace may kiss each other this is God doing this hath been wanting mercy and justice have not been found in the Judgement-seats but false judgement respect of persons injustice and oppression hath met together there pride rage cruelty vanity wantonness hypocrisie hath kissed each other there the poor hath been oppressed of his Neighbour and the rich hath had many friends this the evils under the sun hath prospered and spread like a bay-tree and equity hath been the low tree and unrighteousness the high tree exalted over all the great Whore hath reigned with the Beast and false Prophet the true Woman hath been in sorrow the Lamb and the Saints in great tribulations in all ages but now she is coming up out of the Wilderness leaning upon her beloved and not her own understanding and the Lamb and the Saints must get the victory and all coverings and veils will God rent off from the face of all people and there shall be no place of darkness nor shadow of death wherein the worker of iniquity shall hide himself but death and hell must be naked and give up the slain that is in them the Dragon must be chained and the Beast Whore and false Prophet must be taken and cast alive into the Pit or Lake that burns for ever and ever This will be a woful day for you persecutors false worshippers idolaters whoremongers hypocrites unbelievers fearful and abominable Merchants of Babylon and all you Seamen of Babylon who hath strengthened her Mast and spread her Sayle and traded with her when she shall lie as a wrack in the midst of the Sea and sink like a Milstone and be found no more at all you that have gone so often aboard her in the boat of deceit and drank the Wine of her Fornications in the mysterious sealed Cabines of her VVhoredoms which she hath set cht from the Land of Witchcrafts and gathered from the Vine of Sodom and prest in the Fat of Confusion and held forth in the Cup of Hypocrisie howling and lamentation will come upon you fears and amazements will possess you when you behold the smoak of her torment Alas alas standing aloof off for fear will be your song vvhen you shall see this great City in one hour brought to nought No fig-leaves will hide in this day no sheeps clothing will cover the false Prophet but you must all appear in your own likeness and image before him that seeth in secret and be ript up and seen as you are before God Angels and Men no vizard of Profession shall excuse you from receiving a just recompence of reward according
to your deeds done in your bodies And this dreadful day is hastening upon all flesh which hath corrupted its way before the Lord for his own Name sake and for his Elect seed sake wil he cut it short in righteousness which hath long groaned and cryed unto him under the heavy burdens and cruel oppressions of the ungodly to be delivered from the bondage of corruption which hath long overspread the whole Earth and to be set free in the Paradice of God in the glorious liberty which is at his right hand where is joy and pleasures for evermore yea durable riches and righteousness from whence Adam was driven into the Earth by disobedience and so into darkness ignorance and confusion having eaten that which was forbidden and drank of the flattering Harlots Cup which hath since become a great Whore and made all Nations drunk and sate upon them and reigned over them even Kings of the Earth multitudes tongues and languages and the Garden of the Sluggard or sloathful wicked drunken servant hath been all grown over with thorns and thistles and Nettles have covered the face thereof and the best have been as a briar and the most upright as a thorn hedge pricking stinging tearing killing and warring against the Lilly and the Apple-tree as it sprung up in all Ages as it is written They all have lain in wait for blood they hunt every man his brother with a net Thus it was in Micahs days * Read Mic. 7.1 2 3 4. and the Sacrament of the Altar in the Martyrs days the Oath of Allegiance in these days see if the net be not found the mischievous desire wrapt up now among the bryars and thorns whose end is burning which caused sorrow to come upon him in the consideration and sence thereof and in Jeremiah's days Jer. 5.26 c. And thus it hath been from Cain unto this day persecuting about Religion Worship and Sacrifice but for the Elect sake as I said before these days shall be shortned and this is the Word of the Lord unto you all Mat. 24.22 Therefore hearken diligently and hear all ye Rulers Governors and People of the Earth who are the sons of Adam in transgression the fall and consider well in what state you now are and what knowledge of God your Creator you have and see whether you are not shut out of the Paradice of God in which man was made a living soul and whether you are not drove into the Earth even as Adam in transgression afraid of God and hiding your selves from his presence in which state you have no true rest but are separated from the enjoyment of the Life and Unity with the Eternal God in whose presence no worker of iniquity can endure therefore doth God in his eternal love call unto you to come out of Babylon and he hath appointed a day of visitation unto the children of men in all ages that in it they should seek and meet him by returning every one from his evil ways and look unto him from whom they have gone a whoring who is the alone salvation and Saviour of all them that repent and turn to him with their whole heart and that is the sacrifice which he requireth of all that make mention of his Name for it is not a talk or profession of Christianity and godliness that will stand in stead in the day of death or in this day in which the great deeps of the mysterie root and ground of all things which have been since the foundation of the World are manifest even unto Babes in Christ Jesus who is the Wisdom of God and the Power of God which none of the Princes of this World knew I say the secrets of the Most High are with them that fear him whose dwelling is in him that hath given them a measure of that pure discerning Life in which Adam gave Names unto Creatures and Things according to their natures while he was in Paradice before transgression was even in this Life through this Life is the living God bringing many sons daughters to that glory which was with him before the World began and is drawing with the Cords of his Love which is stronger then death many followers after him who cannot be satisfied in the Earth into which they were driven by transgression and polution which is not their true resting-place as it is written Micah 2.10 Therefore we being awakened are returning toward our Native Countrey in which we were created in Adam before transgression or separation was and we have given up our hearts minds and spirits bodies and souls to wait upon our God to receive from him strength and power to be translated into his own image and likeness wherein our salvation is wrought out with fear and trembling Therefore ye Rulers and people of the Earth do you ponderously weigh and deeply consider what you are doing by endeavouring to hinder us in the narrow way of our passage to the Heavenly Holy-Land or Paradice of God's rest which he hath prepared for the poor in spirit and tremblers at his Word who are not satisfied with an outward profession or name to live whilst not enjoying the eternal inheritance and possession of the Life and Substance which is at the right hand of God for evermore In which passage we resist no man or fight with carnal Weapons for our Warfare is spiritual but are calling to those who are our Brethren in Adam to turn their minds and affections with us to seek after our Native Countrey where our Father is again found and known and his voice heard that so the Spirit of enmity which came of the Serpent and the Whore might no longer remain in God's Creation from whence the strife and contentions wars and fightings comes but be cast into the Lake for ever Why should you thus abuse your Brethren or what reason can you shew to hinder us in the way of our passage to our own Native rest of our weary souls seeing we have no other end or aim in our eye but the price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus who is gone before us into Paradice from whence we were driven by transgression the cloud of separation Read Isa 59 throughout And though you should yet more grievously oppress us and smite us and even put heavier yokes upon our tender necks or cause us to make brick without straw as our brethren did yet we cannot but sigh and groan and cry to our God whom we delight to worship though it be in the Wilderness under the grievous burdens of our oppressors For we being awakened and quickned from the deep sleep of sin and death which hath covered mankind cannot but look to the Rock from whence we were hewn and press forward in the patient sufferings through the strait gate and the daily Cross into the Heavenly Kingdom and Dominion of the holy God into which no worker of iniquity or unclean thing can enter So whatever
