Shewing the dark ways and worships of the ministry of Antichrist now in these apostated times, which is perilous, as is foretold of often by the Holy Ghost that spoke through Paul, and now is fulfilled in these latter days, 2 Tim 3. Thus saith the Lord, Arise Sion, and thresh with a sharp threshing instrument, and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen, and is arising, and Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone to all nations, now that Christ is unto his people both the light and glory thereof. Wherein something is written in reply to a book that was set forth by the dry and night vines in and about Beverley, who scornfully nicknameth the people of God, in reviling and falsly accusing them, and calleth them Quakers, in and about York-shire.

things and as unknown and yet well known of the Lord and of all those that are the Lords but of our selves we can do nothing It is God that worketh in us both to will and to do of his own good pleasure and is thy eye evil because his is good It is God that doth us justifie and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose Rom. 8.28 29. to the end of the Chapter What would you then have us to continue in sin that grace may abound God forbid for how shall we that are d●ad to sin live any longer therein knowing that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the Glory of the Father even we also shall be raised up to walk in newness of life Rom. 6.

An Epistle to the Reader Reader I would not have set pen to paper had I not seen the truth much defamed by those that stand in opposition against it and seek to defame it and strangle it by their faln wisdom and pride and fleshly boastings where envy is hatched so that the Dragon casts out floods of waters of revilings after the woman that brings forth the man-child but the Eaath is made to help the woman and the child is caught up to Heaven with God where it is preserved and kept safe as in a City of refuge and wait but upon God in patience a while and thou wilt see great things for the Lord is bringing to pass his act his strange act that is Prophecyed and foretold of and the destruction and downfal of Antichrists Kingdom that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ may be established in power and shine forth in brightness and the Lord leading forth his People in Power and Majesty and going before his ancients gloriously and he will be their rereward and the Kingdoms of the World shall be the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ the Beast makes war with the Lamb but the Lamb shall overcome prevail and get the victory Read this little ensuing Treatise and give thy Christian attention in the reading and take heed how thou dost pass thy Judgment If thou have not a spirit of discerning least thou Judg false and Judgment return into thine own besom it may be that thou mayst find something in it hard to be digested by thy carnal wisdom take heed of calling truth railing for all deceit must be cursed burned and cut down by the Sword of the Spirit that so the pure seed may be raised up the blessing to inherit Leave not till thou hast read it over and if thy mind stand free and thy Judgment cleare It will some deceits and deceivableness of the man of sin more cleerly and fully unto thee discover So farewel in the Lord and the Lord give
