A85492	A cal [sic] and a vvarning, to all priests, professors and people, vvho have and do profess the Scriptures, that they may try their doctrines and practises by it, and may own condemnation in their doctrines and practises, wherein they are contrary to the Scriptures. And a tender visitation to the whole vvorld, that they may own this their visitation, and may be healed and restored to the Lord; and this may serve for a looking glass, wherein people may see what visage they are of, and how they stand related as unto God. / By a sufferer in Hartford goale, for faithful witness-bearing, against this sinful generation; known by the name of John Gould.

and your Christ and with it denied and your Faith which doth not purifie for whilst I was under the leading and conduct of it I came not to the knowledge of God by it and so not to eternal life which is witnessed through faith in him and in his blood which purifies my heart and gives me dominion over the world and that Christ I know own and witnesse which saves from sin all that come unto him but your Christ is denied which you say you believe will not set you free from sin here and so is not the Christ of God which is the true Light which lighteth every one that cometh into the world who is manifest to take away sin and to destroy the works of the Devil and in him is no sin And this Christ I own and bear witnesse of who is the true Light the Ordinance of the Father whom ye hate and destroy and make void through your traditions and denie your Mock-Christ which you say will not save you from sin here but leaves you in the Devils work which is sin by your own confession and so your Christ is but transform'd in you like unto an Angel of Light O ye Professors and People and your Ministers like unto Ministers of Righteousnesse and so being not the same Christ but like him cannot save ye from sin and so not from condemnation but keepes you in it whilest ye are here and perswades you that ye cannot be set free and this Christ ye believe in And here 's the mysterie of iniquitie hid and discovered even the spiritual wickednesse got into high places unto all who have an eye to see and an ear to hear and an heart to understand and will not wilfullie blind themselves by hating knowledge and instruction And this mysterie of iniquitie works not onelie at Rome and Italy and Spain and France but in England also and in every particular Member of that Church which is not in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the pillar and ground of Truth whom to know is life eternal which none comes to know but such who comes down to know and own the light within them which is pure of God which convinceth of sin and iniquitie and shews evil deeds that 's the Light which lets ye see when ye tell a lie when ye swear or be drunk or commit anie other sin that ye are serving the devil and not God when ye are fulfilling the lust of the flesh the lust of the eie and the pride of life that this is not of the Father but of the World and the World passeth awaie and the lusts thereof but he that doth the Will of God the same abideth for ever and this being obeyed which convinceth and sin denied it leads unto Christ from whence the light comes who leads to the Father of Light with whom there is no variableness neither shadow of changing who of his own good will hath he begotten us by the Word of his Povver unto a livelie hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead that we should be as the first fruits unto him having slain the enmitie on the Cross and broken down the Partition-wall and hath brought in everlasting Righteousness even by washing and purging of us in his own blood and his flesh we know which is meat indeed and his blood which is drink indeed and his covering we know But the wo from him is unto all such as are found covered and covering themselves with a covering and not of the spirit of the Lord for the Lord our God is come and coming in the Clouds of Heaven with the voice of the Arch Angel and the shout of a great Trump to call all vvho are in the Graves to arise and stand up to judgement they that have done vvell to the resurrection of life but they that have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation and the daie dravvs nigh a pace vvherein the Book of conscience must be opened and every one come to be judged out of the book of his ovvn conscience for all that ever hath been done in the bodie vvhether it be good or evil and he that hath done good shall go into life everlasting but he that hath done evil into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his Angels vvhere shall be vveeping and hovvling and gnashing of teeth vvhere the vvorm never dieth nor the fire is not quenched vvhich is the second death out of vvhich there 's no Redemption but blessed and holie is he that hath his part in the first Resurrection over such the second death shall have no povver but they shall reign Kings and Priests to God even for ever and ever even so Lord Jesus come quickly Amen Written to you from the Lord God vvho is Judge of quick and dead by a lover of all your souls that so vvith the Light of Christ Jesus vvithin you might come to a true sight and discoverie of your estates and conditions that so coming to be sensible of them you might return to the Lord in your life time before you be sealed up in the pit of everlasting darkness for the day of sealing is come and the Bride the Lambs Wife hath made her self readie and is entred into the Bed-Chamber And I John saw the Angel flying through the midst of Heaven having the Key of the bottomless Pit in his hand to seal and shut up all such who are found bearing the mark of the Beast in their fore-heads and in their right hand that they may be shut up and sealed for ever and ever And this in love is vvritten to go abroad as a vvarning from the Lord to all people professors and priests every vvhere but in particular to them in Hartford and Ware that so if possible some of them may come to repentance and to an acknowledgment of the truth in their life time as it is in Jesus before it be hid from their eyes and may serve also for the use of any vvho have an eye to see and an ear to hear From a lover of all souls knovvn to the vvorld by the name of IOHN

to nor worship man for conscience sake Are these things onely to be found at Rome and Italy and Spain and France who are called Christians as well as ye I and boast in it too and not in England also where liberty of conscience is profest even amongst you O ye great and tall Professors of the Scritures Do you think the Scriptures will cover you any more then they or that your Faith and Gospel and Christ is better then theirs who are respecting one anothers persons Will that Faith save ye any more then theirs Search the Scriptures and see Doth the change of the Air or of the Climate or of the Names or of the Languages or of the places or of the profession of God and Christ the Scriptures after another form or likenesse then theirs for they have the Names Christian and God and Christ and the Scriptures as well as ye and a form of godlinesse in some things as near the Letter as ye change the nature or beget a saving-faith which is that which purifies the heart and sets free from sin Or are ye not in your sin as well as they and say ye shall not be free here Onely herein they out-strip ye in profession for they professe a Purgatorie after this life through which they must passe and be cleansed and purified for they know that no unclean thing must enter into Heaven and ye think to enter in with your sins for here ye say you shall never be set free and so are deniers of the Scriptures in that particular more then they for you will not come to me saith Christ the light that you may have life Do ye think that the profession of the Scriptures will save you any more then them Or is the Scriptures me Were the Scriptures crucified at Jerusalem or slain since the foundation of the VVorld Or do ye think that Letters and Syllables joined together in words as God and Jesus will save from sin Or is that the blood which was shed without the City which only cleanseth from sin and purgeth from all unrighteousnesse Or is that to be found in things without VVill the blood of Bulls or Goats or the ashes of a Heifer think ye cleanse from sin If they would what needed he have come and been offered up and shed his blood at Jerusalem who came to fulfil the Law and the Prophets and the Passeover and the Circumcision and the divers washings and carnal Ordinances which could not make the comers thereto perfect as pertaining to the conscience And do ye think that Bread and VVine and VVater which are carnal things which you call Sacraments who taught you that VVord had you it by Revelation for the Scripture no where hath it will do it now why then the Pope of Rome and they of Italy Spain and France have more of them then ye yet they you say are Antichrist and none of the Saints and Church and people of God and we say so too Or is the manner or form of eating and drinking or dipping or sprinkling that alters the nature and makes it more saving to one then to another for 't is only in that ye differ for they have the same and more then ye circumstances by your own Doctrine alters not where the ground and foundation is one for circumstances doth not save according to your own Opinions nor change the ground VVhy then do you exclude them from being a Church of Christ more then your selves who professe more of the carnal Ordinances then ye and professe the same Scriptures the same Faith the same God the same Christ and the same Sacraments and where 's the difference but in the circumstances And it you say they are not a Church of Christ and professe that you your selves are and it say circumstances doth not save if the ground and foundation be one VVhat confusion is here Are you not all in Babylon Are not Mother and Daughter both Harlots Is your Bread and VVine and VVine and VVater better and holier the theirs Are they not all carnal Or is yours more pure and more saving Yet neither of them make the Comers thereunto perfect by your own confession is not their Saviour then as good as yours and their Church as yours both imperfect And is the Church of Christ so Search the Scriptures and see Doth they say it is Or doth it not say that he washeth and clenseth it in his own blood and presents it to God his Father without spot or wrinkle or anie such thing And do not the Apostles write to the Church which is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and dare ye say that 's imperfect as by your own confession yours is and it would be accounted a Church of Christ and your Teachers Ministers of Christ Is Christ imperfect Are ye not ministring the carnal Is Christ carnal Are ye not ministring the Letter Is the Letter the Spirit Are ye not ministring the Bread and VVine Is this Christ But it may be you 'l say You receive it by faith but is it faith in Christ search the Scriptures and trie Hath this faith purified your hearts If not it 's not Christs Hath it given you victorie over the world Hath it subdued and crucified the world unto you and you unto it Hath it sav'd clensed you from sin as by your own confession it hath not nor you say you believe never will here and so is not the faith in Christ which the Saints witnessed and if not in Christ not true nor saving nor wel-grounded faith which you oft talk of but know it not for the daie is come and approaching that your Foundations shall be shaken the Light comprehends you your Faith and Foundation which is tottering and sandie Therefore look about you ye that professe believers and beware for your image of Faith will not save ye anie more then the Popes Images VVhat 's that ye worship and pretend to serve Do ye know Is the Scriptures or mens meanings of them He Is Bread and VVine He Is the Ordinances He 'T is like you 'l say No but they lead to him VVhich of you have they lead to him Are ye found out Is your Ordinances Christ Doth anie lead to God but Christ Knows anie the Father save the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him Are ye not making a Christ of your Ordinance and yet condemn the Pope and his Church to the devil for believing the bread vvine is transubstantiated into the Bodie Blood of Christ that when they eat it they eat his flesh drink his blood What difference betwixt their eating their God and yours leading to God and yet saying it 's Bread and Wine still which is carnal Doth that which is carnal lead to God whom to know and be led unto is life eternal And hath your dead Christ brought you thither yea or nay The Light sees your Christ and in it are you comprehended

the Father nor the Son and no marvel ye are found in such practises which he whom we have receiv'd and do bear witness of foretold and in those daies declar'd of and so the Scriptures are owned witnessed unto by us who are in the life or them and in the possession and enjoyment of him of whom they declare as also do bear witnesse against you who have the words declared but are found enemies to the life and in the same practises with them who had Moses and the Prophets which declar'd and prophesied of him to come but when he came and was made manifest would not own him nor receive him but rejected him and murthered him who was the life of Moses and the Prophets words and yet said that had they been in the daies of their Fathers they would not have slain the Prophets that prophesied of his coming and ye now in these daies be ye witnesses against your selves even of the same generation who have not only their words who prophesied of his coming but say he is come and have his words and their words who wrought and witnessed him come to profess and ready to say had we been in their daies we would not have done so wickedly nor cruelly and yet ye your selves doing the same thing even persecuting and evilly entreating them who now witness him come who is the end of the Law and the Prophets Christ Jesus the righteous whom ye crucifie and thinkest thou this O man who condemnest another and doest the same that thou shalt escape the judgements of God or despisest thou the riches of his grace long-suffering and patience not knowing that the goodness of God should lead thee to repentance Oh what vvill ye do in the end hereof oh ye people professors and priests who are groaping in the dark even at noon day vvhen repentance shall be hid from your eyes vvho vvill not ovvn him nor receive him to lead you unto it vvho is the light of the vvorld and lighteth every one that cometh into the vvorld vvhom the vvorld cannot receive but reject him as ye do even as the Master-builders and professors of old did vvho are calling his light vvhich lighteth every one that cometh into the vvorld natural and say it 's not sufficient to lead unto salvation all that are guided by it and live and vvalk up to it and herein are you manifest to be blind leaders of the blind and hovv can you be othervvise that deny the light vvhich lighteth every one that cometh into the vvorld Do you think he I alvvayes vvait and call upon you O ye foolish and slovv of heart to believe do ye think he 'l check and reprove prove you ever for your evil deeds and that his spirit shall alwayes strive with you O ye priests professors and people will ye thus reject and contemn the Lord your Maker and still go on to slander the footsteps of his Annointed and think to escape and prosper notwithstanding all this are ye not they who say in your hearts We will none of this man to raign over but we will walk on after the imaginations of our own hearts adding drunkennesse unto thirst and covetousnesse unto pride and yet professe to know him and to observe a day to him and come and pretend to bow and worship before me saith the Lord when your hearts are a whoring from me after your pride and vanity and lusts and covetousnesse and all manner of iniquities Will I be enquired after by such a people as this Shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this who provoke me daily to my face notwithstanding all my reproofs but hate my reproofs and cast my Laws behind their backs and say in their hearts We will not have this man to rule even my Son whom I have sent a light into the world whom they as their Forefathers of old crucifie and slay and shed the innocent blood in their land even the streets of their great City which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord is crucified as well as at Jerusalem to the light in all your consciences I speak which will let you see is it not so deceive not your selves Can any do thus and be saved Can any kick and spurn against him and not be confounded and destroyed Can any reject him and he not grind them to powder The stone cut out of the mountains without hands smites at the feet of your great image even your mighty image whose head is of gold back and breasts of silver bellie and thighs of brass legs of iron feet part of iron and part of clay and it shall tumble and crumble down to the dust and none shall be able to deliver it out of my hands saith the Lord for Babylon the great is come up into remembrance before me saith the Lord even all her Inchantments and Sorceries whereby she hath bewitched my people Israel to sin against me with her lying divinations and false doctrines saying the Lord hath said it when of a truth I never spake to them nor never sent them at all therefore have they not profited my people at all but have taken of my wooll and of my flax and of my wine and my oyl and of my kine and of my sheep and have spent it on her lusts and her lovers but now am I coming to require these things at her hands and I will strip her naked and bare even she who hath said in her heart I sit as a Queen and shall see no sorrow sorrow and misery Widdowhood and losse of children shall come upon her in one day and all her lovers with whom she hath played the harlot shall not save nor deliver her out of my hands saith the Lord your righteous Judge who judgeth not for gifts nor rewards but will plead the cause of the innocent and him that hath no helper in the earth and will recompence double into her bosome even for all the blood of the innocent that have been shed in the midst of her even blood double even till it come up to the horse bridles and happy shall he be that taketh Babilons brats and dash out their brains against the stones for she is come up into remembrance before me saith the Lord even she who hath made all the kindreds of the earth drunk with the cup of her fornication and all the Kings and Princes Governours and Rulers of the earth hath committed incest and fornication with her and the blood of my Saints have been shed by them in the midst of her therefore shall she receive blood to drink for she is worthy even the dregs of the cup of my fury that will I wring out unto her saith the Lord shall she drink of and shall spue and fal and never rise more and they that have committed fornication with her and her lovers and her Merchants and such as have had traffique with her by Sea and all occupiers of ships beholding
