Shewing unto all people in all nations, what the state of things hath been in ages past, and what the state of things are at this present day. ... And also, here it is manifest, concerning the teachers of this age, and the root from whence they sprang, who are manifest to be of that stock of false prophets, which Christ prophesied of should come, and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes, and how that the night of darknesse hath been upon all, for many generations: ... And also, the restauration is described, which shortly cometh, wherein Christ shall reign, whose right it is, and shall change laws and decrees, and the lamb shall be the light of all nations, ... and their King shall possesse the uttermost parts of the earth.

Prophet hath deceived many as Christ hath said and all the earth hath been wandering in the wildernesse of wickednesse and the long-suffering of the Lord hath been wearied and he continually provoked to destroy the Nations who have followed Antichrist who hath shewed himselfe in the seat of God to be God and hath sat in the seat of God in the seat of justices righteousnesse and of mercy and the abomination of desolation hath long stood in the place where it ought not for many ages and length of times and his many heads and many hornes hath swayed the world through the terrour of the Beast who hath made all worship him and they that would not he hath killed who hath carried the great whore who hath made all men without exception and all Nations without respect to any wholly drunke with abomination and all hath staggered and fallen into grievous iniquities and the Dragon hath stood ready continually to devour the child of righteousnesse as soon as it wa● borne and the woman hath been forced to fly into the wildernesse that hath brought it forth and hath fed there for so many dayes and for a long season hath the Lord been blasphemed even the name of God and his Tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven But now hath the Lord considered and looked down from his habitation and of a truth he is risen and hath taken to him his great power that he may reigne and put all things under his feet and subdue the power of the Beast and Antichrist and all their government and rule and Lawes and decrees shall be overthrowne and confounded and all their worship shall be broken for great Babylon is come into remembrance before the Lord to render to her according to her workes the Lamb is now risen and advanced with his bow and his sword and he is going forth conquering and to conquer the Beast and all that hath worshiped him and they that are with the Lambe are called and chosen and faithfull and they loved not their lives unto death and they shall overcome him by the blood of the Lambe and by the word of his Testimony the dominion of the Lambe is setting up and his power is made manifest and the stone cut out of the Mountaine without hand is a dashing at the feet of the image and against the Beast and his power and against all his Lawes and decrees is he risen and he will change times and Lawes and powers and the Kingdomes of this world shall become the Kingdome of the Lord and of his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever for now the Spirit of life from God is entered into the witnesses which hath been slain and they begin to stand upon their feet and great feare falls upon the great men of the world and the Devill is cast out into the earth who hath sit in heaven in the Temple of God and deceived the whole world and his wrath is great against the Saints and against the Lambe because he knowes that his time is but short and the man-childe shall grow and shall rule the Nations with a rod of iron if any man hath an eare to heare let him heare he that leadeth into captivity shall goe into captivity he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword the purpose of the Lord shall stand who is now gathering and bringing backe such as hath been driven away and deceived by the generation of false Prophets who hath deceived the whole world and all that dwell therein and the Lord will take vengeance upon them upon the Beast and upon the false Prophet and great Babylon shall be thrown down and shall be no more at all but shall be made desolate and the voyce of harpers and musicians shall be heard no more at all in her But her glory shall wither and fade away in a moment for he that bath a true weight and measure is appeared to divide and to give due weight and measure unto every one and all the wicked who will not come from under the worship of the Beast shall have their part in the Lake that burnes with fire and he that is unjust let him be unjust still and he that is righteous let him be righteous still here is the dividing of all things as they were in the beginning the glory of the Lord is risen whose name is called the word of God and out of his mouth goeth a sharpe sword and with it he smites the Nations and he shall rule them with an iron rod for his name is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and he is gathering his Saints together to the supper of the great God to eat the flesh of Kings the flesh of captaines and the flesh of horses and them that sit thereon the purpose of the Lord shall not be disanulled though the Beast and the Kings of the earth gather together their Armies to make war against him that sits upon the horse who is already gone out to conquer and the numberles number of the Saints are gathering together before the Throne of the Lambe and they have no guile found in their mouthes And the day is now dawned and the night is far spent woe unto the world and to all the inhabiters of the earth who have worshiped the Beast the Lord is coming to plead with you and ye that have partaked of the sins of the great whore shall partake of her plagues and she shall be rewarded double according to her works for her sins hath reached unto heaven the day of great tribulation is at hand of anguish and destruction men shall seek death and shall not find it but it shall flie from them when the Lord ariseth and the Lamb standeth upon mount Sion and his Saints with him who shall tread down the Heathen and cast them out even as they have troden down the holy City and the worship thereof and the Kingdome of the Beast and his seat and his great authority which he hath received from the Dragon shall all be thrown downe and the Kingdome of the Son of God with his government scepter and rule shall be established in all the earth and the uttermost parts thereof shall be given him to possesse this is the promise and this shall come to passe and through the whole world Lawes and decrees ministry and orders shall be changed and renewed the Law and the decree of the most high shall rule over all and the holy City shall be beautified and is adorning and preparing for the Saints and their King to inherit the Lamb is the light of the City and the Temple therein and all Nations and people that are saved shall walke in the light of the Lambe for he hath lighted every man that comes into the world with the light of salvation in all that doe receive him and darknesse shall fly away the Sun is risen and praises and honour and glory and dominion shall be given to the

Lambe who shall reigne over Nations and his Saints shall see him and his name shall be in their foreheads and there shall be no night but light and glory and the Kings of the earth shall bring in their glory and honour into it and the gates stand open and is not shut every one that thirsteth let him come the cry is unto all and yet nothing that defileth shall enter these are the faithfull sayings of the Lord who is true and must not long be sealed for the time is at hand and all men shall read and all that keepeth the commandements of God shall have right to the tree of life and blessed are they they shall be healed though now they suffer all manner of evill for the name of Jesus by the Beast and under his power by them that worship him who must fulfill wickednesse by persecuting the innocent till the Lord be raised out of his habitation and the dominion shall be given to them and they shall have power to binde Kings in chaines and nobles in fetters of iron this is their honour and this is their dignity and they shall rejoyce for ever and ever and shall glory in the Lord and not in this world and this shall come to passe as the Lord hath said Wherefore all Nations and people arise arise and be awakened prepare prepare and make way for the Lord be removed ye Mountaines and thrown down ye hills and hewen down ye sturdy oakes and cut up ye tall Cedars make way and prepare the path for the holy one who is coming to rule with his iron rod and will dash you all to pieces be afraid and tremble thou Beast that hath long reigned over the earth and all thy false Prophets and worshipers be confounded at this and bow and tremble at the remembrance hereof he whom you have hated and crucified and his Saints whom you have persecuted shall come to reigne over you all and to him whom you have set at nought must you be subject to and ruled by to all your sorrow for behold the Lord cometh with his numberlesse number of Saints And this is a warning to all Nations and people upon earth times and Lawes must be changed among you governments and orders must be changed unjustice and oppression shall be removed and every yoake and burden shall be taken of from the neck of the poor true judgment and justice mercy and truth peace and righteousnesse shall be exalted and all the Nations shall have Judges as at the first and counsellers as at the beginning and the poor shall rejoyce when true judgment and justice reigneth and the false Prophet subdued And this is a warning to you all that you may hear and consider the Lamb who hath been slain who is risen to reigne who is the Prince of peace of whose government there shall be no end even he hath lightned all man kinde on the face of the earth the fight is the eye which will let you see all this and will bring you to the fulfilling of it and to the good understanding and it shall evidence the truth of this even the light of Christ in all men which is given to guide in the way of peace THe Kingdome of Christ is setting up and it is not of this world neither shall be exalted nor advanced by worldly pollicy and worldly wisdome nor by carnall weapons nor by the multitude of an host of men it is true the Son of God is gone forth conquering and to conquer and the Spirit of his mouth and the word of his power shall get himself the victory his own arme alone without the helpe of another shall worke the conquest and his Kingdome shall be set up within every particular of his subjects for none can know him reigne without them unto their salvation till they know him to reigne first within for that which opposeth the Kingdome of Christ and the setting of it up is within every man and must be subdued within where it hath ruled and the enemy of Christs Kingdome which hath lodged within must first be subdued before there be dominion over his enemies without This is the word of the Lord to all people for he that pursues his enemy without and leaves him in his own house is foolish and out of the way and shall be overcome of his enemy and shall not overcome him therefore ye that are waiting for the Kingdome of Christ be awakened and seek for it where it is to be found not without you first but first within strive not to obtaine it with your carnall weapons but take the weapons which is spiritual which only will overcome be not deceived for through suffering must the Kingdome of Christ be set up and not by rebellion through crafts and plots and secret pollicy and turbulent arisings nor strife in the nature of enmity by this meanes shall the Kingdome of Christ never be advanced And this is the word of the Lord and our Testimony which we give of the Kingdome of Christ who is indeed arisen to make war against all his enemies and they that follow him are called and faithfull and chosen whose weapons are spirituall and mighty through God and reacheth to the killing and subduing of all flesh and he must war till all his enemies be subdued and must reigne over all his enemies till the Kingdome be delivered to the Father where he shall be all in all The 3d month 1657. All ye Inhabitants of the Earth in all Nations through the World Hearken and give ear the Word of the Lord God that made Heaven and earth is towards you He is coming to set up his Kingdome and his Dominion which never shall have end and the Kingdomes of this world shall be changed and shall become the Kingdomes of the Son of God ALl ye Kings and Princes and Rulers through the whole world the Lord is coming up with his mighty Host against you all he who will fanne you and sift you and try you and search you out for his fanne is in his hand and he will throughly purge you and you shall all know that the Kingdome of the most high God rules in the Kingdomes of men all your glory shall fade away all your Majesty and Honour and Dignities and Dominions shall come to an end all your strength is but as a straw all your treasure as a thing of nought all your glory as a fading leafe in the presence of the Lord God that made heaven and earth all Nations upon the earth are but as the drop of a bucket befo●e him and the hearts of all men are in his hand and by him Kings rule and the Princes of the earth are at his disposure and you are all weighed in the Ballance of equity and found too light before the Lord for all flesh hath corrupted its way before him Be awakened ye that have long slept in darknesse and been at ease in the flesh ye that have had

Christ said and led aside and blinded and bewitched by him And as I have said these teachers of this generation are of them of their Root and off-spring which long hath flourished on the face of the earth But the day is at hand that the heaven and the holy Apostles and Prophets shall rejoyce over the whore and over the false Prophet for the Lord comes to avenge us on her and as she hath done so shall it be done unto her now in this day wherein Jerusalem shall be builded againe and the holy City which the Gentiles have trod under foot for fourty and two monthes which time is expired and near a full end accounting from the dayes of the coming in of the Apostacy untill this day if any have an eare to heare let him heare this I have received from God I say the holy City shall be measured and the Gentiles cast out and she shall be adorned and as a bride for her husband shall she be prepared and Gods Tabernacle shall be with men and he will dwell with them and they sh●ll be his people and God himselfe will be their God and all teares shall be wiped away and there shall be no more death nor sorrow for the former things are passed away and all things shall be made new And what I have said are the faithfull sayings of God every one that is a thirst shall drink of the water of life freely and he that overcometh shall inherit all things and shall be called the Son of God and shall dwell in the holy City which long the Gentiles foot hath troden under which shall againe be adorned and prepared as a Bride for her husband if any hath an ear to heare let them heare And the glory of the Lord is risen and his day is breaking forth more abundantly and the Lambe is given for a light and all Nations that are saved shall walke in the Light of the Lambe and the King of righteousnesse who hath been long fled into Egypt while Herod the Beast which hath sought his life and driven the woman into the wildernesse hath reigned shall againe be set upon the holy hill of Sion and rule all Nations with a rod of Iron and trample upon the necks of all his enemies the Nations hath not for many ages been ruled by him But the Beast who hath ruled over kindreds and people and said who hath been able to make war against the Beast and to the power of the Beast hath all Nations been subject and the dominion of Christ hath been troden down and despised and his holy City hath been laid wast and his Princely power hath not been felt nor witnessed in the Kingdomes of men for ages and times nor him the one head and the one horne hath not been known but many heads and hornes hath been exalted and all Nations and all the Princes and Kingdomes of the earth hath been subject unto the Rule and Law of the Beast and to the divinations of the false Prophet and darknesse hath been over all and God hath been as a stranger in the earth as one not known he hath been worshiped ignorantly and the inscription every where hath been to the unknown God but now after all this the glorious God of truth hath appeared and great and mighty hath been his hand and power in this our day in raising up a righteous branch out of the Root of righteousnesse and in gathering his scattered people up to himselfe who have been scattered by the Idoll teachers and deceived by the false Prophets and made a prey upon by the wilde Beasts of the Forrest O how hath the people been made a prey upon by their teachers and greedily devoured by dumb shepherds who have sought themselves and sought for their gaine every one from his quarter for many ages how hath people been led blind by their blind shepheards and none to this day come to the knowledge of the truth by them for these have run and was not sent and therefore the people have not been profited at all as it was in Jeremiahs dayes so is it now no profit among people in the knowledge of the wayes of God but leanesse and barrennesse and as the teacher so his people all out of the way in prophanesse and wickednesse and prophanesse is gone forth from them into many Nations yet is the Lord bringing backe his inheritance which hath been driven away into the desolate wildernesse yea and the Lord hath caused his light to shine out of darknesse and unto them that have sit in darknesse and in the shaddow of death is the marvellous light risen that the glory of the Lord may be revealed and Gods Tabernacle may be with men and the holy City is a preparing as a bride for her husband and darknesse shall fly away and sorrow and sighing shall no more be known but life and immortality shall againe be brought to light as it was in the dayes of the Apostles This I have received from God and the Lord shall be known to be the God of his people and for this cause hath he called and chosen faithfull witnesses and given his powerfull ministry by the gift of the holy Ghost as it was in the Apostles dayes and now many are called to declare abroad the things which we have heard and seen and handled and the Gospel of Christ is received by the Revelation of Gods eternall Spirit and Son in our hearts and the power is made manifest and the forme of godlinesse is denied and judged and Christ the one head is exalting and the one horn of Gods salvation is revealing and the many heads and many hornes must be broken to pieces and be confounded in this the day of the Lord for his purpose is powerfull in carrying on his own work against all his enemies so that none is able to hinder But they that set themselves even the Beast and his power which is now struck at and his Kingdome is invaded hath raised the force of his power and the policie of his arme yet shall they be confounded and no formed weapon shall prosper against the Lord and his way who is now arisen to avenge himselfe of the Beast and his power and the whore and her fornications and the false Prophet and his divinations which all must into the wine-presse of Gods dreadfull wrath to be troden and all that worship the Beast and repents not shall partake of the plagues of the Beast and of the whore and though the false Prophet gather Gog and Magog together to fight against the Lamb and to compasse the beloved City about yet he shall and them that he gathers be broken to pieces and driven as dust before the wind and as stubble before the fire for the purpose of the Lord shall stand Great Babylon is come into remembrance before the Lord to reward her according to her deeds and the Lord will cause his truth and his salvation to be known in the earth
