A30534 A message proclaimed. By divine authority from the chosen assembly of the redeemed people in England, to the Pope (chief bishop) of Rome, and to his cardinals, Jesuits, and priests, and all other the officers of the Romish Church, where it shall meet with them through the world: that they may appear, and come forth to triall, and shew if they have the same faith, power, spirit, and authoritie, and government, as had the Apostles and true churches, before the apostacie: and this is a full invitation and challenge to the whole Church of Rome, and the beginning of controversie with her, for the perfect manifestation of the long hidden truth; betwixt them that are in the truth it self, and such as have the form, but not the power; that all things may be brought to light and true judgement. Written by an embassador for the true and living God, E.B. Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662. 1658 (1658) Wing B6013A; ESTC R203576 16,877 25

ages and thou accounts thy self the most ancient and thou hath been without fear of any man and thou hast not regarded the honour of my name but exalted thy self altogether But now saith the Lord the dread of the Almightie shall come upon thee and the Majestie of the Lord of hosts shall appear terrible unto thee and thou shalt know there is a God that can do whatsoever he will and he will wound the mightie men and none shall heal them and he will vex all his enemies in his displeasure and he will break them and none shall bind them up thy glorie and the glorie of the whole earth is as grass before the mower and as the flower of the field that is soon withered and thy treasure and the treasure of all Nations is of no respect unto him and strength of the whole earth is weakness before him and the crowns of Princes he accounteth as the dust he treads over it all and his everlasting arme reacheth beyond it all and he is awakened that will strike thorough kingdoms and that will stain the glorie of the whole earth and thou must know his power and the cup of his wrath is full of which all nations shall drink and none shall escape it prepare thy self for the anger of the Lord is gone forth the Almightie is greived because of the abominations of the earth and he will cast into the fire and purge and purifie and new mold and correct Rulers Kings and Peoples for he hath long been greived and born the miquitie of the Nations but his long suffering is well-nigh finished for the nations have provoked him to anger and turned his long-suffering into furie and he hath put on the garment of vengeance and the time is at hand that sorrow shall take hold upon the stout-hearted when he appears who hath been pierced and anguish and pain shall come upon thee and the world and the day of trouble and great distress ye shall not escape the rod of his wrath shall smite you the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it And although thou art exalted as a God yet thou shalt be a man and not a God in his hand that shall slay thee and although thy seat hath been high yet it shall be laid low as the ground and thy honour shall be laid in the dust for thou art dust and ashes before the Lord and thou shalt be no more admired when destruction shall come upon thee the Lord hath viewed thy way and path and they have not been upright before him he hath entred into the secrets of thine heart and thine intent hath not been hid from him and that which hath been done in secret shall now be laid open and all secret things shall now be brought to light and all the Churches shall know that he searches the heart and trieth the reines who is a God great and mightie and giveth unto all creatures life and breath and he will change at his pleasure all the children of men and bring them to an account before his Judgement-seat wherefore let all flesh tremble before him and let all the earth bow before his presence who changeth and subdueth and over-turneth at his pleasure and brings men to destruction who hath rebelled against him Wherefore thou Pope chief Bishop at Rome this is unto thee from the mouth of the Lord come down come down lay down thy crown subject thy self and tremble before the Lord God of vengeance least he come upon thee and crush thee to pieces and thou shalt know that this hath the Lord spoken in the day when the fierie flaming sword which is alreadie drawn enters into thy bosome and smites thy honour and renown Behold I have heard the voice of howling and bitter lamentation I have heard the voice of war and not of peace I have seen I have seen the strong become weak and the mightie become miserable and the proud and honorable brought into contempt yea I have seen her that hath sat as a Queen that hath said she shall never see sorrow I have seen the losse of children and widdowhood come upon her even in one day I have seen her beautie turned into bitterness I have seen her honour brought into contempt I have seen the Whore that hath made all Nations drunk with her fornications that hath had the golden cup in her hand I have seen the cup of indignation prepared for her to drink I have seen her cast upon the bed of never ceasing torments I have seen the Citie that was full of people that was the glorie of Kingdoms that made all Nations rich with her traffick and merchandise I have seen that Citie laid desolate and disinhabited and made the sorrow of the whole earth and I have seen the smoak of her burning ascend for ever and this is and must shortly come to passe and if thou hast an ear to hear thou mayest hear and these things are true and faithful and they shall not fail but the wicked shall know the Majestie Dread and Terror the Vengeance and indignation of the Almightie This is assented to by many and written and subscribed by one that hath a Name not seen nor known of the world but known among men by name of EDWARD BURROUGH Return your answer to me or any of the People called Quakers for me in London from whence this is sent being written the four and twentieth day of the eighth moneth 1658.
