Binckes Matth 15. 13. Every plant that my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out London Printed by R. A for William Larn●r at the Black-Moor's head neer Fleet-Bridge 1653. A word to the Reader DEare Friends and indeed so ye are even as many of you as walk according to the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ and in so doing ye fulfill the whole Law that is love and whosoever is not found in obedience to the law of love is not onely an enemy unto his neighbour but he is an enemy to the Lord Christ I shall not trouble you with circumstances but accordingly as in all humility I am bound shall present to your view the consideration of these things in which though darkly is held forth the fulfilling of many promises declared in Scripture Wherefore whoever thou art that readest these things consider well what thou doest e're thou givest thy judgment concerning them left thou erre not knowing the gift of God but first bring thy judgment into the balance of equity and then trie and examine whether it will beare weight with them yea or no for if thy judgment be found too light thou wilt suffer losse assuring thy self that the day is at hand in which shall be discovered all the folly and madnesse of men who are yet in captivity in Babylon and in bondage to the Man of sin that son of perdition whom the Lord shall destroy by the brightnesse of his coming and then shall be manifested all the deceit which hath been practised by the Merchants of that great Whore which is Babylon in the spirit so called whose wares shall prove no better to thee then the garments of an idol which are worn out even as filthy rags for the Lord shall utter his voice from on high even the voice of the Archangel and all the Nations of the earth shall fall down and tremble before him giving glory and honor and praise to him that liveth for ever and ever Thine in the Lord Jesus who at his appearing shall change our vile bodies and make them like unto his glorious body that as he is so shall we be in this present world Joseph Binckes Acts 13. 41. Behold ye despisers and wonder and vanish away for I work a work in your dayes a work which ye shall not believe if a man would declare it you Acts 2. 17. And it shall be in the last days saith God I will powre out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophecy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreames The first Vision NOw it came to pass in the beginning I was carried as it were into a great wilderness in which I beheld a woman incompassed with an innumerable company of people of all Nations and kindreds and tongues crying out with a loud voice saying How long Lord how long will it be e're thou avenge me of my adversary at which the people ran violently upon her purposing to have devoured her but were not able only this they stript her of her garments leaving her naked for a little space and soone after there appeared a great cloud which separated the woman from the people and the woman lift up her hands in which I beheld these two names Justice and Mercy and on her head Wonderfull Eternity after a while the cloud passed away the people as yet remaining to whom the woman discovered her self at which they were filled with blasphemous outcries runing at her with great violence as before but she became a great fire and consumed them all and I beheld another people brought forth whose abiding was in and with this fire The Exposition of the first Vision THe wildernesse is Babylon that place of confusion the inhabiters whereof being such as are filled with a beast-like spirit as Dragonish or Lionish eager of prey in which and among whom the true Church the Spouse of Christ as a woman is incompassed and being in pain to be delivered that is to bring forth righteousnesse her Son These as enemies being round about her and hearing her cry run violently upon her and strip her of her garments with which they cloath themselves and leave her naked according as it is written they parted my garments amongst them even so the sons of Babel that great whore and all that serve the man of sin do in behalfe of their mother and the power to which they are in subjection strip the truth at this day preaching forth strife and contention subjecting the innocent under a colour of profession wearing the words of truth but the truth it self is persecuted by them therefore hath a cloud separated the truth from them their understandings being darkened this holds forth something of the Ascension of Christ into heaven which for the manner or nature how he did ascend or how he was received into heaven is known to none but those who are indeed the Disciples of Christ and I pray consider who they are not those who love the uppermost rooms at feasts not those that love greetings in the markets not those that love to be called of all men Rabbi not those who esteem themselves above their brethren not those that persecute strangers for conscience sake when indeed they ought rather to have received them refreshed them in love even as the Apostle Paul writes to the Hebrews saying forget not to entertain strangers to do good forget not I might instance in many other particulars but I shall leave that and shew to whom its known that is to say the manner nature of his Ascension even to those who like Abraham obey the voice of the Lord forsaking their fathers house following the voice of the Lord not knowing whether they go as also those whom David speaks of in the 15. Psalm or those of whom Isaiah speaks in his 33. chap. ver 15. and so forward as also those who keep their fast according to Isaiah the 58. ver 6. and so forward as also those who like the Apostles forsake
