A76237	A seasonable warning and word of advice to all papists, but most especially to those of the kingdome of France; for them to turn from their idolatry, and gross superstition, and speedily to repent, and hast to meet the Lord by amendment of life, least he come on them, and smite them unawares ... / Charles Baily.

against thee then shalt thou grind them to powder And because of this wo wo unto the hypocrite wo unto the swearer who unto the liar wo unto the Adulterer yea wo unto the inhabitants of the earth who shall joyn with the Dragon in war against thee thou shalt command the holy Angels of the Father which shall attend on thee continually to bind and to cast into the pit of utter darkness for evermore out of which there shall be no redemption Therefore be ye warned O ye Kings Judges and Rulers of this Nation and people not to meddle in this matter for as sure as the Lord God liveth who hath created the Heavens and the Earth these things shall surely come to pass and it will be a folly for you to take counsel of the Sorcerers Enchanters and Deviners for no such thing shall be able to prevail against the holy anointed one of the Lord but as I have said through the holy Spirit of the Lord if ye fall not upon him ye will surely be ground to powder and though his coming may be contrary to the expectation of all flesh marvel not at it for it was ever so that the Princes of the world never knew him though never so wise for if they had they would never have crucified him And remember what was written by the Prophet concerning the way of God who had it from the mouth of the Lord saying My wayes are not your wayes nor my thoughts your thoughts but as the Heavens are higher than the Earth so are my wayes higher than yours and my thoughts higher than your thoughts saith the Lord of Hosts Therefore marvel not at the coming and establishing of his only begotten Son in this Nation as he hath purposed in all Nations I say marvel not though it be to the destruction and overturning of all outward glory Therefore if any in whom he is witnessed to live and reign be caused and compelled to come before you and they cannot bow unto you witt Hat or Knee as all manner of flatterers and dissemblers do be ye warned even from the Lord God of life that ye touch not nor hurt them for these things for if ye do know assuredly that God Almighty will avenge their Cause evidently amongst you who shall thus do for God is jealous of his honour and he will not give it unto another and so beware that ye respect not the persons of any in judgment lest the Lord rebuke you for it and everlasting shame and reproach come upon your heads for ever for He which respecteth persons saith the Apostle committeth sin and is convinced by the Law for a Transgressor mark that the righteous Law convinceth him for a transgressour which saith Thou shalt not respect persons in judgment they being such who held not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of Glory who respecteth not persons they having their Lord and Master for an example who respected not the person of any man and said How can ye believe who seek honour one of another and seek not the honour which comes from God only So they who seek the honour and they who give it are all one even unbelievers and transgressors for so faith the wise man also It is not good to have respect to persons for for a piece of bread such an one will offend And the thing is evident amongst you from the Priests and people who have mens persons in admiration because of advantage search and see whether any of these things be not so yea or nay with the pure Light of Christ Jesus which shineth in all your Consciences which reproveth for sin and will make all the works of darkness manifest unto you as you diligently heed it and follow it and love it while you have the Light walk in the Light that you may be children of the Light least it be taken from you and given to them which are faithfull Therefore I warn and advise you in the everlasting bowels of love not to slight but prize the day of your visitation for the day-spring from on high hath visited you as I have already said therefore whilst yet a time and day is in your hand improve it that the blessing of the most high God may be upon you and your posterity for ever but if you harden your hearts and reject this counsel and warning of love which is freely tendered unto you then do ye hear the word of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth unto you who will not be mocked thus saith the Lord If you harden your hearts against me my unresistible vengeance shall come upon your life as the unresistible Waves of the Sea when moved with a tempestuous wind which shall even devour and swallow you up at once none shall be able to deliver you out of my hands my fury shall come forth against you like a mighty wind that none knoweth from whence it ariseth which shall scatter break and tear you to pieces This is the Word of the Lord unto you all who is righteous in mercy and judgment and unto them that fear my name saith the Lord and embrace my counsell even to you shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing under his wings and ye shall go forth and grow as Calves of the stall but the proud and those who do wickedly shall be as stubble which is cast into the Oven fully dryed And this is the determined counsel of the Most High concerning all the Nations of the Earth which are respecting of persons Therefore be thou warned O thou Nation of France to whom I have been sent and set as a Sign that thou mayest find mercy after thy long provocation and estrangement from God and that thou may'st with a ready mind and willing heart submit to the Kingdome of his Son which he hath determined to establish in the midst of thee and that thou mayst submit unto his Government for to know him by his Name whose Name is The Mighty God the Prince of Peace upon whose shoulder the Government is 〈◊〉 which all Nations either by constraint or willingly shall submit unto even the true Immanuel God with man whose Scepter is freely held forth that thou Nation of France with all Nations might come under it which if thou dost thine inhabitants shall be blessed but if thou refusest instead of blessing that which is tendered unto you shall be turned into a curse for ever By a true Servant of the living God who suffers imprisonment in Bourg de Ault neer Deppt known by the Name of Charles Baily Given forth in the Year 1661.

the strength of the Creature being to stand still bearing his dayly cross and thereby is made subject unto him who is able to save to the utmost all who come unto him in and through Christ the Door Power and Wisdome of God who is the Light of the World Therefore Salvation is not of works but of grace which is freely tendered to all mankind upon the face of the whole earth for the grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearance of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works Tit. 2.11 14. Therefore were your Priests truly in the knowledge of God and his Misteries they would bring you to the knowledge of the Mistery that hath been hid from Ages which without controversie is great to wit God Manifest in the flesh which was Christ in the Saints the Hope of glory and were you rightly instructed you would come to know the riches of the glory of this Mistery Col. 1.27 for it would be your glory also for it was the Saints hope of their glory which hope will perfectly save you and cleanse you from sin and evill and thereby purifie you as Christ is pure for this is the only and true hope which anchors and stays the soul And if you once come to this then their Trade is spoyled but they are as ignorant of it as you your selves but the true Ministers of the New Covenant preached nothing but what themselves were witnesses of therefore saith John That which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes and looked upon and our hands have handled of the Word of life that they did declare to the people that the people might come to have fellowship with them and their fellowship was with the Father and with his Son because their living and walking was in the Light as God was in the Light 1 Joh. And this is the end of the true Ministers ministry who were Ministers of the Spirit and not of the Letter neither did they boast of other mens sayings made ready to their hands as your Priests do for what they pray preach and speak unto you are other mens works yea the greatest part of your worship which is the Masse and the rest thus they make merchandise of your for dishonest gain made and put in by the will of men and by the will of men are upholden and guarded by a Law that none must speak against their open abominations but the day of the Lord hath overtaken them as a thief in the night and their works of darkness must and will be brought to light let them fence themselves never so wisely and dig as deep as Hell for Counsel yea the day is come and though they should exceed all their fore-fathers in burning and persecution it would but add to their torment for the Sword of the Lord is drawn and will never be sheathed until it hath cut them up root and branch yea the cup of Gods fury is filled even to the brim and they must drink the dregs thereof though they be made and upholden by men yet of a truth men shall not be able to save them for let them daub and flatter never so much to make them a wall or shelter the wall which is daubed and the daubers shall fall together This of a truth is the determination will and counsel of the most high God though bryers and thorns do set themselves against him in battel all shall be in vain for the breath of his mouth shall burn and consume them for ever for he of a truth is arisen before whom all Nations are as the drop of a bucket and as the small dust of the ballance Behold he taketh the Isles as a very little thing yea all Nations before him are as nothing and they are counted to him lesse than nothing and vanity He measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand and meeteth out the Heavens with a span and comprehendeth the dust of the earth in a measure and weigheth the mountains in scales and the hills in a ballance I say even he whose presence fills Heaven and Earth is risen to plead the cause of the Innocent the poor and the needy and to make way for the meek that they only may reign over the works of his hands in his Son who must and shall reign over all for ever and this will he perfect for his own names sake the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it therefore it is a vain thing for men to cloath themselves some in one habit and some in another and one saith he is of such an Order and another sayes he is of such an Order whilest they are all in the order of sin and uncleannesse the root thereof stands firm and untouched within them though they disguise themselves like so many Anticks in severall shapes more like men of unmodest deportment than like men fearing God which doth in no wise consist in such like disguised habits but in a clean heart for The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom which leads to the true understanding of the use of all the creatures of God and how to use them in decency and true order and in the moderation for which end they were created and made even to serve man and man his Creator in fear with a clean heart and pure mind but man being degenerated from this holy life gets into habits and meats by diversities and calls some holyer than other though in the beginning they were all created good as it is written Every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused But these men get into several habits and call them holy as though the wool that came from the sheeps back availed any thing and thus the Pharisees were in dayes past in outward observations of dayes and things and went in long robes esteeming one thing holyer than another for which Christ rebuked them saying Whether is it greater the gift or the Altar which sanctifieth the Gift And likewise in those days being ignorant of that which sanctifieth and maketh clean by which all things comes to be sanctified to the Creature whether meat drink or apparrel through the use of which only they should have had regard to the Giver who regardeth not nor respecteth the person of any man much lesse the cloathing or meats or drinks which desileth not the man but of all Nations He that feareth God and worketh righteousnesse is accepted of him as saith the Scripture But these things the Apostles saw was crept in amongst many in their dayes as Touch not tast not handle not which thing had a fair shew but it was but
