ever Heb. 13. 8. being the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world Rev. 13. 8. The Apostle witnessing in the second of the Cor. 4. 13. that he and others had received the same spirit of Faith with those who had been before reciting for testimony and proof hereof a passage of the Psalmes I beleeved therefore have I spoken we also beleeve therefore speak It is therefore not a new thing implyed in the word Now that God is doing but that which was from the beginning which doubtless every day shall be more and more perfected but especially then when that other Angel shall fly in the midst of heaven preaching the antient or everlasting Gospel to them that dwel on the earth and to every nation kindred tongue and people whose appearance shall be with great power the earth being enlightned with his glory which day the Lord hasten for his names sake and let all his people say Amen Against the appearance of which day the old Serpent the Devil is at work in the form of an Angel of light that he might seem to be the enlightner of the earth with a glory like unto the glory spoken of before if it were possible thereby to deceive the very elect under the great and specious shew and pretence of piety and sanctity And as no other cover or cloathing can become him pretending himself an Angel of light so no other shape or appearance can endanger the very elect they which are so indeed but such an appearance as this Therefore our blessed Lord Iesus speaking of the last times and forewarning his Scholars and followers touching false Christs and false Prophets which should arise saith If any man shall say unto you lo here is Christ or there beleeve it not for there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders insomuch that if it were possible they should deceive the very Elect. Behold I have told you before go not forth beleeve it not Math. 24. 23 24 25 26. but take you heed behold I have foretold you all things Mark 13. 21 22 23. Take heed lest any man deceive you Mark 13. 5 6. 2 Col. 8. 18. Luke 17. 23. Luke 21. 8. Take heed you be not deceived for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and the time draweth near goe ye not therefore after them Great cause have therefore all the followers of the Lamb the true and only Lord Jesus to take heed how they heare and who they hear and whom they follow and go after trying the spirits whether they be of God forasmuch as many false spirits are gone into the world and the enemy is at work knowing he hath but a short time and his actings are not so much amongst us in the form shape of a Dragon by outward force and hostility as in the form of a Serpent saying now as of old to Eve yea hath God said It is necessary therefore that the witnesses and followers of Christ be jealous over themselves and over each other with a godly jealousie lest by any means as the Serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety so their minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ provoking one another and stirring up one another that as we have received Christ Iesus the Lord that so we walk in him rooted and built up in him and established in the Faith as we have been taught not being moved away from the hope of the Gospel And it is the desire of my soul that both the Reprover and others of his mind were at leasure to consider seriously and calmly whether the Serpent may not be at work in them and making use of them as once he did of Eve in her innocency and simplicity to bring about his end though they themselves may not be aware thereof Touching the Reprovers Paper it contains such a bundle of Arrows and they so sharpened at the Philistins forge that they are greatly provoking and can scarce be medled withal without begetting their like a most undesired and unpleasing return And were it not for the Truths sake that suffers and for the Reprovers sake that he may see what yet he sees not if God peradventure may give him repentance for his sinful rashness I should not trouble my self to write nor him to read these lines A few things amongst many I shall set free from his false glosses and the rest shall submit to further tryal knowing that he before whom all things are naked and will try the work by fire of what sort it is will manifest a righteous judgement in his day Reprover Hast thou not helped on the Devils kingdome with lyes for sayes thou her temptations afflictions and conflict was repeated and renewed so often as opportunity was given by her new visitors which visitors are these Letters which thou hast published But saith she I am no way troubled at thy continued charge Now how must this be devided betwixt you seeing the one at least must be the lyar both in this and divers other things I might instance but I delight not to rake into such filth Reply Thou that reprovest another judgest thou not thy self Is such a sentence in the Publishers paper as thou recitest and sayest he sayes Read it again and whereas thou sayest which visitors are these Letters which thou hast published art thou not reproved in thy self for as much as the Publisher saith that she hath been visited by many of the persons distinguisht and commonly known by the name of the Northern people at sundry times and in divers manner of wayes And these were the new Visitors of which the Publisher speaks for he speaks of persons not of Papers but leaves the Letters to speak for themselves using these words viz.
