idleness who are sent by the Lord of the Harvest into his Vineyard to dresse it as the Disciples of Christ ever were and are faithful and diligent in his work who hath called us as the true Ministers sent forth by Christ were in all ages and are not idle but do as they did by the same spirit bear witness against all such as live in idleness and prophanenesse as the most part of these people do who accuse us such as live in pride and wantonness who work not at all with their hands accuse us of idleness who have a Cloud of witnesses for our practice for the holy men of God travelled from place to place as we do as they were moved of the Lord and they were sent as we are by the Lord to testifie against such ungodly practices as the people of the world live in and the same Generation in nature hated and persecuted them as do hate and persecute us And by the same holy spirit ye are tryed and found to be the idle persons who accuse the Servants of the Lord of idlenesse who are in the work of the Lord labouring in his Vineyard You Magistrates Gentry Priests and people who sport your selves in the day-time and wantonly lives upon the earth feeding your selves with dainty dishes Dives-like wasting the Creatures of God upon your lusts devouring the Creation decking your selves in gorgeous attire that you may be set up and esteemed of above your poor brethren so are found Gentils in nature exercising Lordship over your brethren persecuting imprisoning them who are redeemed out of that nature you live in who cannot bow and worship you as the Heathen do but know this you Gentiles Priests and people who lives in these practices in envy pride idleness and fulness of bread The day drawes nigh wherein you an account must give to the Creator for your envy and cruelty and for the Creatures which you have wasted and do waste and devoure upon your ungodly lusts and in the day of account you will houle and lament for the misery which will upon you come for to the mighty God of Heaven and Earth the Creatour of all things you an account must give for your pride and idleness fulness and gluttony which you have lived in and do live in and your reward you must receive according to your deeds and practices your outside formal profession will not at all avail you in the day of the Lord And you shall then know who have lived in idleness whether you who are found in the sins of Sodom alive or we whom the Lord sends amongst you to declare against such practices and to forewarn you of the evil which is to come upon you who are found in these practices and doth in life and word bear true testimony against you who live in and practise such things daily as is before mentioned And many of you are grown so dainty and so curious in your Dyet and Apparrel that you scarce know what to eat what to drink or what to put on and so causes the whole Creation to groan under the weight and burthen of your corruptions who lives in idleness whose belly is your God who glory in your shame And here both Priests and Gentry who accuses others of idleness are caught in their own snares You who accuse us for idleness who are in the work of the Lord or you your selves who are found in the work of the enemy of God let the honest hearted judge who live in idleness you who are enemies to the Servants of God which labours to have such practices destroyed as causes the wr●●h of God to remain upon such as act in these things before mentioned All your coverings which you can make will not hide you for the righteous judge who will plead the cause of the innocent will finde you out in the day of his fierce wrath which is comming upon you which you cannot avoid nor escape your high thoughts nor your greatness will not save you though you esteem never so highly of your selves and scorn and der●de your poor fellow-Creatures counting them inferiour to you And many of you think us not worthy to live upon the earth we seem so vile and base in your scornful eyes But know this you proud high minded self-conceited ones that God is no respecter of persons who hath chosen the despised poor of this world to be heirs of eternall salvation and hath left you for utter destruction except you speedily repent for wo will come upon all you that are covered and not with the Spirit of the Lord therefore now be you warned and while you have time prize it for the mighty terrible day of the Lord draweth nigh therefore repent and forsake the evil of your doings you Sodomites before the evil which is determined against you come upon you the day of your Calamity hastens the Lord is righteous in his judgements who a short work will make upon the earth and he will reward you according to your works you who are workers of Iniquity must depart from his presence and into utter darkness must be cast for the living dreadful God of life and glory is of purer eyes then to behold iniquity therefore cease cease from your pride and vain glory ye high-minded self-conceited ones and sit down in dust and ashes lest the door of mercy be for ever shut against you and you perish eternally Remember you are warned in your life time From Edmonds Bury Goal the 19. day of the 6th moneth
